WAR DEPARTMENT LEASE
 ON STATE PIER EXPIRES

The lease of the state pier at New London to the war department expires April IS. The war department noti- fled the state of Connecticut on or about February IS that they would give up the lease in two months. Since that date many men have been re- leased from the service and a great deal of material has been removtd from the pier and most of it has been taken to the experimental station.
 The 18th of April has practically ar rived and the resident engineer at the state pier finds that there is much property of the government yet re- maining at the pier and no prospect of removing it within d day or so. AS a matter of fact should the government decide to remove all of the property which it claims the right to do, it will require mot few days, put probably two months.
 The government has ordered an in ventory of all property on the pier, which shall include all the eXpend- itures made on and about the pier, and which will show roughly that the government has expended several hum dred thousand of dollars which it may now decide that it does not want to relinquish to the state.
 It is considered possible that the government will decide 10 ask for an extension of the lease Tor two months l logger and during that time will re- move whatever property of value ii retains the right to remove. This property and material can be sold
 but would probably not bring o!el l s25,000 to s30,00U. The lease of the pier for an additional two months would cost the government about as much as this.
 l Until the papers arrive the state will do nothing with the pier, bu will continue to charge the govern I ment rental according to the contrac

WANTS TO KNOW PRICE
 OF EAST LYME SITE

The committee on public health and safety of the general assembly held an executive session Wednesday after
 oonn at Hartford and considered the bill to prevent the location of a tuber- culosis sanatorium at Crescent Beach, in the town of East Lyme. The state, through the tuberculosis commission, has acquired the White Beach proper ty in the town for LOGO for the sana- torium. There has developed an ob
 pection to the location from the sum mer residents of Crescent Beach, and
 this objection has the sympathy of the officials of the town. It has been
 stated that the town or those who have property interests in it will pur
 chase the White Beach site for the price which the state paid for it. The committee visited Crescent Beach last week and the members of it were shown an alternative site which, it is said, the town could procure. The committee decided at it's session We'd nesday afternoon not to take final aC- l ton on the matter until the amount for which the alternative site can be pur- chased has been ascertained.

At an adjourned meeting of the com mon council held Thursday evening for the purpose of giving a hearing upon the petition of William F. Bailey for a change of sidewalk grade. on Bath street, the change that he asked for was granted with the proviso that there first be filed a waiver of all claims for damages by all property owners who might be affected by the change in grade.
 Mir Bailey is having his stable prop erty at F Bath street altered over for garage purposes, and asked to have a change of grade made on the northerly side of Bath street in front of his property from the line of L. L. Chap mans property up to the corner of Chestnut street, where the city barn is located. A grade at this point had been established in 1910 and MT. Bailey wanted new grade lower than the former one, so that he would be able to put in large show window at the westerly end of his building.
 The public hearing was held upon recommendation of the public works committee, which had previously look Cd the property over. and had made report at the April council meeting at which they recommended the hearing Before the council meeting met in regular session Thursday evening Mayor J. J. Desmond and the mem bers all went out in the dark and took a look, with the aid of one lantern, al the Bailey sidewalk situation. which was all covered up with a pile ot
 boards and timbers. Then they re- turned to the mayors room, where
 they had a long discussion, and the council meeting was finally opened al 9.25, with Mayor Desmond presiding.
 Clerk J. A. Desmond read the re- turns of publication of the call for the meeting, and then Alderman M. c
 Higgins, chairman of the public works committee, presented the resolution granting the change of grade with the proviso attached. This was unani- | mously passed.

This Skin Peeler All
 the Rage in Society

There is a growing tendency among women of culture and fashion to pay more attention to hygienic means of preserving their charms. The advent of mercolized wax doubtless has been largely responsible for this. This re- markable substance produces com pIexions so, natural in appearance, so magneticall$> beautiful artificial com pleXions are no longer desired. In stead of "doctoring'' an offensive skin. the skin is peeled off. The wax peels the skin so gradually. in such fine par ticles, no discomfort is experienced. The fresher, younger skin beneath. wholly in evidence within week or two, is lily white, satiny soft and smooth. It's not patched-over com plexion. but brand new one. That's why mercolized wax has become such a rage among society folk. The wax is put on nights like cold cream and washed off mornings. All druggists have it; one ounce will do.

GROToN IS IN DOUBT
 ABOUT RAISING QUOTA

The town of Groton is unlikely to be able to meet it's quota on the Victory loan this time, it is understood. In previous loans the town has always gone booming over it's quota, usually about doubling what was called for, largely through the subscriptions made by the late Morton F. Plant.
 But this time it is believed that so large a Plant subscription can hard ly be counted upon, neither will the New London Ship and Engine Co. do as much as it has done before. and conditions at the Noank & Groton shipyards of the Groton Iron Works do not give any great promise of large amounts coming from these two sourc- es towards the Groton quota.
 So that altogether the prospects for Groton meeting its quota are reported to be far from promising.

from those places soon. Regular navy men will be left in charge at the pier to finish up detail work, and lot of clerical work will remain to be done before the pier is finally vacated.
 Even though the government gives up the pier at once and leaves all it's property to the state, a clerical force representing the navy depart ment will find plenty or work to do there and will probably have offices on the pier for a few weeks hence.
 It is expected that the commission in charge of the pier will receive some definite information one way or an other within a few days
