 The effect of the big strike of tex tile workers that started Monday in Fall River will be felt in Putnam and i other towns in this vicinity if itl should continue &ny legnth of time, it was stated here Monday afternoon. | Observers who have noted the big motor trucks that daily travel back 1 and forth between Fall River and oth- CT towns in this section have realized | what large amount of warps and yarn these trucks bring in for mills hereabouts, ard additional warps and yarns come by other transportation, routes. The cutting off of this sup l ply of material would in a brief time affect some manufacturing concerns in this section and curtail the amount of their production, with consequent loss to workers hereabouts. e
 This fact is -one that causes many hereabouts to hope that the Fan Riv- CT strike will be of a very brief dur ation.
 pr. H. B. Goodan of Cleveland, O., has asked Leonard IT. Healey, North 1 NOpuSlOEh- " SeCEtldky Ol lIlS COnneC- ticQt state board of agriculture, in a letter recently received by x MT. Healey, how many rattlesnakes there are 'in Connecticut. and just how the rattlers could be caught. The Cleve- land physician said a company had been formed in that city to capture rattlesnakes, and .reauesteds the de- 1 sired information so that members of 1 the society could come to Connecti- I cut and catch few of the reptiles. Secretary Healey said, in his re- ply that he thinks there are some i rattlesnakes left at Rattlesnake Mountain, near Kent, but that, since July l, many of them have left. He added that he didn't know whether 1t was because of the big drought, that the snakes are quitting the stafe.
 A vaudeville biiI that was added l to the usual picture programme at 1 the Bradlay' theatre at Mondays shows proved particularly pleasing to the large audiences that were at tracted. EA
 Cohen and Luden were the head : liners with black -face singing aeG I talking act that had some novel fea 1 lures to commend it to the public , Morris and Van. feminine specialists f who have been on the big vaudeville f circuits, won generous applause for 5 the singing and other features of their act, while the Garrisons, in a. travesty on some of classis, proved particular ly popular with the audience. A high class act. and out of the ordinary act l was that of Phroso. the mechanical bit or humanity. In many ways this act I was really remarkable and a puzzIer s to the audience. Phroso is. an Eng l fish actor and he has the clever ca : pability of misleading one into the be- lief that he is more mechanical than 3 human, so long as he sees fit to do so, Fraser and Mac. delightful come 3 dians, closed Mondays show with l bright bits of songs and repartee, Baby Mac coming into the act as a specially pleasing feature. , Souvenir" Taylor, who, has been having correspondence lately with prominent people throughout the Unit ed States, and getting replies from them which he highly prizes, has now s entered a new field-flirting with mo- bility V A foreign mail at the present tine Is carrying a letter from, the irrepres- slble Souvenir to Lady Astor, who has been elected a member of the house Of commons the first women ever to take her seat in the famous parIia- U mentary body.
