 ESTIMATED AT S3O.oOo, 900

It is believed in the tax commits sioners office at Hartford that the ap- praisers of the estate of the late Nor ton F. Plant of Groton will be able to file their report of the inventory in the course of three or four weeks. It is understood that experts will. be sent to Florida to vaue the real estate, con- sisting principally of hotel buildings. The value of the stock of the Shore Line Electric Railway company. which is practically all owned by the Plant estate, will affect the total value of the estate. The value of the stock of the Eastern Power company will also af- feet the appraisal. There have been various estimates of the total value of the Plant estate.

To those residents of Eastern Con- necticut who are interested in pie, torial art an unusual opportunity for enjoyment is offered in the current eX- hibition of paintings in the symna sium of the Connecticut college by Prof. Henry Bill Sender. head of the de. partment of fine art While there is considerable range in subject and me diuln. the items including several wa ter colors, etch.ngs,, aqua tints and lithoSraph, the pictures are mostly landscapes in oil. all distinguished by q fresh and individual outlook upon the ever varying face of nature. These paintings cover the work of three or four years in the infrequent intervals Of leisure snatched from the busy life of the teacher.
 The first and predominating impress slon that these paintings make upon tlle visitor is that of luminous beauty and harmony of color. All of them are broad in treatment and strongly dec oratiYe in effect. The artist in every t'ideal and goes about its accomplish ment with .visor and. sureness, SUD- pressing all unessential details. The result is direct and often eloquent , transcript of the scene
 Theer is in all these landscapes a sense of out doors and space. The artists rendering. of clouds and sky 1 strikes the layman as singularly fe- i licitous
 The exhibition was notable for it's high average of excellence. No single 1 item was devoid of serious purpose or interest. Winter Sunrise" (No. 1) evoked much praise for it's luminous tone.

Frances Textile Industry.

The woolen textile industry in France was greatly deranged during the war. This industry enters for the most part around Rpubaix, Turcoing, Lille. Cambrai, Rein sand Sedan in the north, which region was under the enen1y's fire soon after the beginning of hostilities in 1914.
 The wool combing industry was centered in occupied territories which produced normally about four times as many yarn and wollen fabrics as the rest of France combined. War destruction in the wool combing in dustry was per cent. and iii the wool carding 70 per cent. The wooden industry is estimated to have suffered a loss proportional to 56,300 looms. with coefficient of des- truction of 30 per cent.
 France has bee nforced to import large quantities of yarn and woolen fabrics from England and neutral countries. At the same time the ex- pjortatlon of woolen products has ceased and former French markets abroad have been largely absorbed by other nations.
 The condition of the industry caus- ed a considerable effort on the part of refugee Woolen manufa cturers 0! the north to reestablis themselves in other parts of France through the utilization of old looms and the con- version of cotton and silk spindles Some of the machinery from hte re- ions of Reims and Sedan was taker to other localities in the interior and manufacturing began to take life aain. The principal locations 0! this new development were at Elbeu1 at Lyons, where the industry prof. ited by already existing textile con ditions, It is not improbable tha1 some of the new centers may be come permanent, such for example as Voiron, where the loca tion of ths plants is attriutable to the supply O water power available.

He said the con dition was particularly bad in front of the tannery and he had seen 8 1 smas ashup there which was due to the gullied out condition between the 1 tracks.

EFFECTS OF HEAT AND SUN LIGHT ON RUBBER TIRES

Summer time looses two forces of nature which have seriously injurious eects on tires. One of these is heat and the other sunlight.
 Though these two forces are closely allied, the bad effects are distinctly different, according to statements made by laboratory experts of a well known tire company.
 Light has a powerful, deteriorating action on rubber. It causes oxidation of the rubber and also causes crack ing. This is frequently noticed as checking" on the side walls of tires.
 Heat ages" rubber compounds, greatly lessening the length of their serviceability. It makes them hard and lfeless, and also promotes oxidizing action by the air.
 Because of these harmful effects of light and heat, tires should always be kept in covers when carried as spares, and if stored in the garage, should be kept in q dark, confined place where the temperature is low. In the case of inner tubes special care should be given, for the tube must remain elas- tic and hexable and must not crack The tube is subjected to a great deal of heat when in the tire and should be saved any excess ageing in storage. A liberal use of tale or soapstone on the inside of the tire before the tube is put in will help to overcome the bad 1 eects of heat when the tire is inac- 1 ton. 4a5' ''fF~Fs' It should be noted that the bad ef- l fects of heating due to fast driving 1 or to driving over hot sands or hot
 pavements are not caused by increase
 in pressure of air in the tire. It is al- l most impossible for the heat of driving l or of bot roads to increase air pressure
 to a degree great enough in itself te burst the tire. What really happens 1 is that the heat softens and breaks down the rubber after time, causing l the tread to come off or the layers ol l fabric to separate and burst.

 l. When stretched considerab ply ring should return to place quickly with out changing inside diameter.
 ?. When bent both ways between fingers rings should not break or crack. l..
 3. Rings for average pint and quart jars should be 5-16 of. an inch wide, have an inside diameter of 1-4 inches and measure F to the inch.
