 A Hartford paper mentions that Will liam A. Winkleman. formerly of Dan l ieIson, now an enploye in the garage of big department store at Hartford, | is the inventor of a Inotor-wheel driven bicycle. The machine has bicycle frame with a motor-wheel substituted for rear wheel The motor or-wheel is hanked on either side by bicycle wheels The right wheel has an attachment en- abling the rider to coast and apply a regular bicycle coaster brake whenever desired. MT Winkleman has applied for patents, the most important part of his invention being the attachment for the brake.
 Leo J. L'Homme post, American Le- l zion, of Danielson, is one of only lhr- teen posts in Connecticut that have sent to state headquarters contributions fer the decoration of the. graves of A1neri- can soldiers in France. National head quarters reports that less than s4,o00 for this purpose has been received from throughout the entire country. It Is therefore with particular pride that members of the local post are listed among those who have not forgotten those who rest over there.
 Danielson is one eastern Connecticut town that has practically no supply oi coal on hand. The cord wood supply i. also short and the prices on this com nodity are being boosted on the basis o all the traffic will bear. People whc must have fuel will have to pay. tn, 1 wood prices now being asked, as coal i not available. So serious is the fue shortage in this territory that som, mills are finding 1t difficult to keep il operation. All of which is another ar gument for a five day week in the mine
 and six hours for each day.
