1O-CENT THRIFT STAMPS SOLD TO
 SCHOOL CHILL LDREN

Hartford, Jan. 17.-In order to ex- pedite the sale of thrift stamps and war savings certificates among the school children of the state, the state director of the Connecticut war sav- ings committee has ruled that postal savings stamps may be used for the purchase of thrift stamps.
 The stateme ent was made in some quarters that the sum of 25 cents was too large an amount to expect small CT school children tO accumulate at once. In order to overcome this diff fIculty the child can, at any post of flee, purchase one postal savings stamp for ten cents. This stamp is attached to a U. s. postal savings card. Spaces for nine stamps are provided, and when the card is filled, with the addition of ten cents, secure four 25 cent thrift stamps attached to thrift card.
 By the use of this plan prominent state educators believe it will be pos sible for many children who other wise might become discouraged to start at once on a campaign of sav- ing, and tC eventually obtain m dc- emulation toward war savings cer- tificate which will give a considerable start toward this ultimate purpose.

THEATRES SEND DELEGATION TO
 OPPOSE CLOSING

New York, Jan. 17-Slight improve ment in transportation of coal from railroad terminals at tideWater points in New Jersey helped to relieve the shortage in this city yesterday. Ice in the Hudson and East rivers continued to hamper movements of coal barges, but with more favorable weather con- ditions forecast, fuel administrators and dealers were optimistic that with in a, few days a normal daily supply would be reached.
 A committee of local theatrical managers, headed by George M. Co., han, planned to leave for Washington today, where they have an appoint ment with President Wilson tomor- row to enter a protest against the proposal to close theatres here three days a week on account of the coal shortage.
 The managers will contend, it IS said, that very little coal would be saved under the proposed plan, and that not only would the public be de- prived of necessary amusment," but thousands of actors, musicians and stage hands would be thrown out Of employment.

SAVE SHOvELEUL . OF COAL TO HELP WIN WORLD WAR
School Children to Tag All Coal Shovels Jan. 30 in
 Big Campaign.

Hartford, Jan. 17.-Plans have been made by the committee on fuel con- serVation of the Connecticut State Council of Defense for a statewide ob- servance of Tag g-Your-Shovel Day. on Wednesday, January 30. On this day, it is expected, all the school ~chil- l dren of Connecticut will set out with tags urging coal saving and will tie one on each coal shovel they find. In addition to tagging the shovels in their own homes they will visit homes | where there are no children and tag the shovels there. Each tag bears on one side the slogan, Save that shovel full of coal day for Uncle Sam," and on the other side a list of practical hints on coal saving methods.
 | In explanation of the campaign the | United States Fuel Administration de- clares that, inasmuch as there is 1 limit to the amount of coal that can be produced to meet the dnprecedent- ed needs of America at war, the extra coal that is needed-over a million carloads-must be saved from the supply already available, a shovelful at time, It is hoped that the tags 1 VIII De Qa1ly remlnQerS 10 the users of coal that they can help win the var.
 The Connecticut State Board of Education is cooperating with the fuel conservation committee in mak- ing arrangements for the "Tag-Your- Shovel Day. and has asked all super intendents and principals of schools in this state to supervise and encourage the work of the children.
 In a message to the school children of America, United States Fuel Ad- IT. inistrator Harry A. Garfield says:
 q have proud reason to know the depth of patriotism of the younger generation of Americans; therefore, we are making use of the school chil- dren in spreading the gospel of coal saving. This tag should remind each man, woman and child who uses a, coal shovel that every shovelful of coal saved means just so much addi- tional power and help and support for the American soldier and sailor on the firing line"

LONG TRIAL WILL
 BE HELD IN HIGH
 COURT NEXT TERM

After a six year battle to elude pur- suit Charles A. Long, arrived in Bridgeport last evening from Beau mont, Texas, where he was arrested, to stand trial for a crime which it is alleged he committed six years ago. The charge against Long is the theft of $1,100.C0 worth of copper wire from the Western Union Telegraph Co.,, in whose employ he was until he disappeared from this city.
 When arraigned this morning Long waived examination and was held in three thousand dollars bail for trial before the superior court.
 Long, when he fled from Bridge port wandered over practically every state in the Union, but was ever pur- sued by the relentless zeal of the Bridgeport Detective Bureau which was his final Nemesis when he was ar rested by the authorities of Beaumont, Texas, where he worked about a mile outside the city.
 When the Beaumont police got full particulars from the local forces, they made the arrest and Detective Ser geant Bray was detailed by Captain Cronan to bring him back.

PASTOR MATTHIAS
 TAKES LIKING TO ARMY CAMP WORK

l.. T. Warner, through his connec- tion and work with the War Work Council of the Y. M. c. A., has just received a letter from Rev. P. B. Ma thias formerly pastor of the Kings Highway Congregational church in Bridgeport.
 The letter is interesting both be- cause it furnishes the friends of Rev. Matthias with news regarding his movements and again because ii throws light upon the work of the Y. M. c. A in the camps. Part of the letter follows:
 AS you will notice from the head ing of this letter I am at work in the camp at this point, Camp Shelby Miss. I arrived here last Thursday and was at once assigned to building No. 3 as religious work secretary. Probably I shall stay at this building although it is possible that I may be shifted. There is plenty to do. The only limit lies in ones strength and time.
 "Our building is ffHsed every night Probably 1000 to 1900 men come in in the course of an evening. During December this building alone handled ever 100000 pieces of, mail. Tester day we had two good religious ser vices s.nd at the close of each T num- Der of men came forward and signed war roll cards. I feel that I am going to. like the work. It offers enc of the most stnpandous opportunities for work among men that I have ever seen. The men are very approach able and all have a warm place in their hearts fer the ''Y,"
 The letter is written from Camp Shelby, Miss. Of course it is writ ten on red triangle paper and at the bottom of each sheet of paper is written Help your country by say- ing. Write on both sides of this pa- per"

IRISH REACHING 'c NO AGREEMENT
 AT CONVENTION

London, Jan. 17-Several of the pected conclusion of the Irish conven- tion this week. Among the reports is one that today's session perhaps will be the fateful meeting which is to de- eide whether the convention has been @ success or "a failure.
 A Dublin dispatch to the Times says that matters have taken a. disappoint- ing turn which the newspapers inter- pret as meaning that the prospect of an agreement is more remote. The Daily Chronicle says:
 "rFhe convention is now up against the most formidable obstacle. If this can be negotiated successfully all will be well. The Ulster Unionists have it in their power to bring the labors of the convention to fruition or to make them end in failure"
 dispatch to the Daily News from Dublin says that comment on the out look there is a curious blend of pes simism and optimism-pessimism as to the ultimate issue. The writer re- fers to a drawing together of the Ma uOnalsts and southern Unionists, leav- ing the Belfast Unionists in greater is olation than before.
 An interesting political side light, the correspondent adds, is cast by the news that the royal Irish constabu- lary ard the Dublin metropolitan po- lice will be amalgamated as part of a general scheme of reconstruction of the Irish government, which is expect ed to come under consideration soon. Bedfast is now policed by the Irish constabulary and it is understood that the amalgamation would involve the isappearance of the old names which have unfortunate associations and that the new body would be called the Irish police force

TT TAKES cool, crisp days and a
touch of Jack Fro5t's fingers to
Il make apples really prime and,
Judging from their blush, he must
have had a busy time caressing the
cheeks of the gorgeous Spitzenburgs
and Stayman Winesaps now at
Henry R. Hallowell & Sons, Broad
below Chestnut street. The Spitzen-
burgs have come from Hood River,
Ore, but show no stain of travel,
being as fresh and blooming as when
parted from the parent stem. They
are crisp, but tender, medium sized
and run from bright red to purplish
tint, with pale yellow and russet
dots. The always-wanted Winesaps
(from Delaware) are sold by the
barrel or loose. They are big, juicy,
crunchy, old fashioned apples,
crackerjacks for baking or MUNICH
ing, and barrel will keep indefi-
nitely-unless eaten up sooner.
TT is often difficult to find the odd
pieces of mahogany furniture re-
L auired to complete an otherwise
perfectly appointed room. Perhaps
| it is a table or desk that is lacking
and as many antiques are so in name
only, it is far better to buy an honest
reproduction than to pay double for
a dishonest. At Bailey, Banks &
Biddle Company, in the Inexpensive
downstairs salon, there are any num-
ber of charming solid mahogany
pieces, in colonial and other styles
which have caught the spirit of theiI
period to a remarkable degree
Desks and secretaries, some severely
plain, others elaborate; tea wagons
which make one long for the cur
that cheers, but not inebriates; sew
ing stables, tripod-tip tables, with
or without pie-crust tops, and quaint
wool winders, almost too pictur
esque and artistic for modern usage

T>HE potency Of music has never
been questioned; it is the one
bond that unites all classes of
people, and the desire for a piano in
the home is universal. Until fairly
recently owning one was considered
luxury, but today it is not so much
a question whether one can or can
not afford a piano as it is which
make to choose. Many would-be pur-
chasers imagine because the Stein
way piano is high priced that n.
Stetson d. Co, iii Chestnut street,

in reality they make a speciality Of
supplying moderate-priced pianos.
