RINK IS
 PLANNED BY LAWLER
tormcr Athlete Will Utilize Old Turner Hall for Combination
 Auditorium and Arena Soon

Work of reconstructing the old Turner hall on Arch street to be a combination dance hall and roller skating rink has started and it is the plan of the new manager, James LaWler, to put $5,0OO into the work of rcmodeling the place. The building, MT. LaWler has announced. will also be used for roller polo in the event of that sport coming into prominence in Connecticut again, while the size and accommodations of the building would alSO make it an deal place for the holding of boxing exhibitions.
 MT. LaWler is a prominent resident and was recognized as one of the citys best all-arOund athletes some years ago. He is best remembered bv his polo connections with some of the fastest Connecticut teams and he is one of the prime movers for the bringing back of that once popular pastime.
 The building is in the rear of the present Turner hall and access to it is by means of a paSs-W a little south of the larger building. 1t is a spacious hall and With the increased room made by the removal of several partitions it should be one of the best halls in the city. The lighting system will be renovated throughout and augmented by the addition of num- Der of powerful lights. A new floor is also to be laid if MT. Lawler's plans go through. The new building will be open to the public by the first of the year.

In accordance with his chiefs in
structions, Morehead summoned the
two cleverest local detectives to his
office and instructed them to go
across the river and stay until they
found out exactly what the cause OF
the fire was.
After a weeks wandering around
from village to village and indirect
inquiries addressed to boatmen and
coolies at the little tea-stands. where
they appeared in the guise of poor
students seeking recreation. they re-
turned with a very interesting story.
This was the gist Of it.; the two VIII
lagos of Hal Ia Doc and Lo Ka Doc.
situated on either side of the foreign
signal station, had been for many
years rivals in ferrying farmers and
other country folk across the river in
their samplans.

Muskrat Lore.

The feed of the muskrat consists of
grasses, apples, bark of trees, water
plants, carrots, turnips. cabbage and
corn, aud craytish.
Although millions of these brown
colored rats are trapped each year for
their fur, the number does not seem
to decrease. When the fur is made in.
to clothing it is called Russian mink
or Baltic seal.
One of the ways of trapping the
muskrat is to set q trap three or four
inches below the surface of water in
a place where he has been in the habit
of leaving the water. In this way he
will step into the trap as he under
takes to leave the water. Still anoth-
er way is to place the trap just below
the entrance into his home. Some
trappers use apples or turnips as bait.
The home quarters is usually quite
d large cavity and contains much grass
and sticks. During the first two or
three weeks of the life of the young
the mother muskrat does not leave the
home but depends upon the male to
furnish the feed supply.

NO CLEAN FACE FOR LONDON
Cleanliness Would Mean Showiness-
Mar of City's Charm
Seen.

London.-Among the thousand move
ments started by the general yearning
for the worlds rebirth is one for the
Frightening Of London by washing the
fog CRIME from its buildings.
That this is taking effect is shown
by the letters of protest In newspa-
pers. The old Londoners say that this
washing up and the greatly increased
use of white paint is killing the sub
tie, exclusive charm Of the worlds me-
tropolis. One writer declares that if
this thing goes on London will be as
b%razenly snowy as Paris and New York
in a short time.
"Our returning soldiers no longer
feel at home" he objects, and for chief
argument urges all "~wash-up' advo-
Gates to study the mellow beauty Of
certain London buildings erected in
1910 which never have been cleaned.
In this connection it is interesting
to learn that the London water board
has just fixed a charge of IS for scrub
bling the Griffin at Temple Bar every
six months.

In court the aged man said that
he had lived in New York for 81 years,
coming to this country when twenty

builder for a decade, but Of late had
been doing nothing to earn money. He
explained that he lived in a furnished

that he never begged, but was always
glad when sympathetic strangers de-
