While there is much uncertainty, contractors say, in doing business on government contracts. and this uncer- tainty extends to contract work for the housing of employees oF the Groton Iron Works, the work of building houses in the neighborh6od of the Grcton shipvard, is progressing.
 Whether tte original number of raging in. Europe. would be complet- ed was not llrown by an official of the National Engineering Co.,, recent ly He said his company was now enea ged on plans for so houses, which is 30 per cent. of the original contract and said this number u1ieEt be in- creased CT lowered later Any positive or direct statement at this time, he said, might be subject to revision.
 With a force of 500 ;aborers and skilled. werkmen' employed ten hours per day and seven, days of the week, the big construction firn has been rushing the work of constructing mod el tenements on the farm site, over looking the Thames river and the shipyard.

 President Maurice w. Flynn stated that the council ought to be repre- scented at the meeting of the commits sion when this matter is being con sidered and suggested that Council man Thorp and Town Solicitor Agard be that committee; that they not only endeavor to safeguard the town, but the townspeople as well. This prop usItion ought not to be permitted to prevail without protest and the mat ter should be thoroughly understood, before action is taken by the council.
 Councilman Frederick E. Fowler stated that what was really needed was an expert to advise the council nt the iignt and power increase, to show whether the increase is abso- ldtely necessary and whether there is discrimination against WesAcriy. Such advice, however, would probably cost from S400 to $500,
 Councilman Thorp said that was just the thing to do and then we would know just where we are at.
 Councilman Fowler declared that Nutlt might DC d Pui POSS lOl tIS COlAi- pllcated proposed schedule and there Is need for the service Of an expert,
 President Flynn said it was surely the duty of the council to do some thing.
 Councilman Charles G. Craig re- minded that it was planned to have the schedule in effect January 1, and cf something was to be done it ought 10 be done now.
 Councilman Thorp said that if the members were to engage in thls mat ter personally expert advice would be sought.
 Councilman Fowler asked, Suppose it is shown that the project is wrong what then?' @

 Town Solicitor Agard, in response to a query, said it was. not a lawyers job, as the law was too plain or the powers of the commissin, but that it was an experts job to- show the com mission that the proposed schedule vas unwarranted and unfair to W~s- terly.
 Councilmon Thorp did net think it was a matter of right CT wrong with the Company, and while the proposed increase was not heavy on each con sGmer. Yet in the aggregate there would be substantial increase in the receipts.
 Councilman Fowler suggested that the council hold a special session to consider this important matter and that Mir. Gray or some other represen- tative of the company bc invited to explain the conditions g

WESTERLY

There was considerable discussion over the action of the Narragansett Ereetrio Lighting company's proposi- ton to raise the rates for light and power. as per schedule filed with the public utilities commission on Satur- day afternoon, and outlined in the Norwich Bulletin Monday, at the reg u.ar session of the Westerly town council. held on Monday. Councilman Howard and iThorp. chairman Of the committee on street lights, reported that since the last meeting. Jesse A. Gray, rate expert of the Narragansett company. had been in Westerly in consultation with the committee in regard to the proposed new rates, which were on Saturday submitted to the public utilities commission. Be- sides the Westerly councilmen, Ston- ington and Mystic were officially rep resented. as like schedule had been filed with the Connecticut utilities commission. these places being served by the Westerly Light ard Power company, subsidiary to the Narragan- sett company. MT. Gray stated that the company must get more return for the service, as it could not be fur nished with profit at the present rates. There is to be a minimum rate of Sl instead of SO cents, and ii cents will be charged per kilowatt up to 54 in stead of the fiat rate of F cents and like the power rate the cost will be based upon the amount used, the larger the amount the lesser the rate. under the sliding scale of fire rates. No change is proposed in the contract with the town at the present time, but it will mean an increase Of about 70 cents, or perhaps a little less per month to the individual consumer. ac- cording 10 Councilman Thorp.

PEOPLE OF DIVERSE MOODS
Changing Seasons, According to
Observation Of Traveller.

Russian landscape painting, take
it, is a study in the psychology Of the
Russian people. For the fundamen-
tai mood of the Russian landscape
is the fundamental mood of the Rus
sian man, vast drearness, an end
less brooding, and this means espe-
cially the gold and violet melancholy
of autumn, the deep, white sadness
of tie heavy SHOWS. Yet the spring
madness, too, is in the Russian soul,
the wildncss of ycarning which the
still half-pagan Slav SO violently eI-
pericnces when the SHOWS of winter
are melting and the fields are food
ed with pools of water; when the
inky -plumaged ravens chatter on the
sap-filled branches of the birchcs,
and one hears everywhere the rip
pling laughter of the zelennyi shum,
And when, under an Italian sky, the
ripe, yellow corn and the buckwheat
wave in the breeze, and the big
stacks of hay exhale sweet odors, and
the stcppe stretches out like an I'M
dulating, golden ocean, the golden
splendor of the Russian summer is
also in the mooding of the Russian
soul.-Century Magazine.

FETE OF THE SUN.

For many years it has been the
custom of the Astronomical society
of France to hold celebration on
the Eiffel tower on the night of the
summer solstice: This custom has
been in allegiance since the beginning
of the war, as the tower has been
given over to military uses, but the
"fete du soleir" will undoubtedly be
revived as soon as conditions permit,
Meanwhile the Astronomical society
of Spain and America has adopted
a similar celebration of the summer
solstice. 1t was duly carried out
last June at the Fabra observatory,
in Barcelona.-Scientifc American.

Many Machines Out Of Order.
In one county alone the experts
found that nine out of every ten ma
chimes needed some kind of adjust
ment in order to save the grain that
they were capable OF saving. The
owners and operators of these ma
chimes, ii '~s found, are more than
willing to follow the instructions Civ

conditions can be remedied and the
grain saved.
In the county spoken OF there are
1000 to 1900 threshing rigs, as most
of The farmers have machines Of their
own. While there is little waste in
Sofar as threshing out-ofdoors is con
cerned there is considerable waste
because the individual farmer, not
having the information he should have
for operating the machine to the best
advantage, has failed to renew the
worn-Out teeth and other parts which
aave been used unrll they no longer
perform their functions properly. The
result is the waste above mentioned.

T0ADST10L INK FROM FUNGUS
Writing Fluid, IndeIlbis, 10 Valuable
for Wills and Other Precious
Documents.

The utilization of q common
variety of fungus for the manufac-
ture of ink, now both costly and
scarce, has been proposed in France,
says the Pathfinder. The ink-yield-
ing fungus which is often found
growing in clusters where decaying
vegetable matter exists in rich damp
soil is sometimes called the "ink-
stand" or the ink bottle" because Of
the fact that when it decays a black
liquid is produced. It's cap is
elongated and bell-shaped, white at
first and covered with shining pow
der, later turning to gray with small
brown scales on it stop.
A French scientific journal says
that extensive experiments in the
production Of indelible ink from this
fungus we're once carried on by
French botanists. The fungi are
simply placed In q bottle or other
container.
After standing for q day or two
they change to black pulpy mass,
which on being filtered through a
folded cloth yields a deep black or
brownish ink, not unlike India ink.
The addition of a small quantity Of
gum arabic and little of the essence
of cloves is said to improve it and
preserve its fluidity.
The ink consists Of a liquid In
which are suspended the minute
spores Of the fungus. For this rea-
so nit can be readily identified by
means of a microscopic examination.
As it is also inedlible II is peculiarly
valuable for use in writing Of wills
and other documents which are
sometimes subject to fraudulent al
terations.

Howard Heinz, Federal Food AT
mnistrator for Pennsylvania, issued
a warning to turner's that in theiI
own interests, they should not over
feed fowls just before offering them
for sale.
Feed giveN to poultry closely con
fined in crates should not exceed one
ounce of grain or other dried feed for
every two pounds of live weight. Pro
ducers are sometimes tempted TO feed
fowls heavily just before marketing
hut in actual practice this is a loss
both In money and food Birds fire.
duently die in farmers wagons, but
more often shortly after they are de-
livered. In either case loss Ia
sustained which Is ultimately reflected
back to the producer.
Water an Important Matter.
BY reason of the Grating, the fowls
ton the water supply is seldom ade-
quate for all the + wis in the crate,
either from lacR OF attention, evap-
grafton, or losses from spilling. The
feed consequently clkes in the over
full crops and in warm weather heavy
feeding results in Over-heating. These
are the chief causes Of mortality.
The Food Administration urges III"
desirabliity of NOR" water and les
feed for poultry just-before marke
ing. Experienced poultry handle
have recognized the soundness of thi
and give their fowls an abundance .
