 The service opened with the singing of America by tine choir The speaker addressed his remarks first to those who safeguarded, perpetuated and saved the liberty of the world. He said no word could portray the valor, bravery and chivalry of the American soldier; our tribute of love and gratitude are but feeble expressions of the veneration and honor We feel tonight Deep in our heart We treasure the memory of those who suffered the horrors of war and giving their lives that We might live in the undimmed light of freedom, equality and justice
 He spoke of the army of men who went forth in the Civil war to do battle even unto death that the Union might live. To the great generals. the heroic dead and the surviving few of that great strife, he paid tribute justly due.
 He pointed out that our countrymen had been outraged and innocently slaughtered before we crossed the sea 2,O0O,000 strong.
 Times are critical the speaker said. great questions are arising and we and the generations yet unborn must keep faith with those who gave their lives for us. May God add His blessing to
 the humble garlands, We place upon the hOnored graves of the dead each year. The service closed with benediction and the singing of the Star Spangled Banner by the choir.

HINCKLEY HILL BARN
 BLAzE SOON PIT OUT

A telephone call. followed quickly by a bell alarm from Box 6, Main street near TaIman. about 4.45 o'clock Sunday afternoon called out the fire depart ment for a barn fire on Edwards avenue, off Hinckley HILL When the companies responding to the telephone call arrived at the fire dense smoke was pouring out of the barn ;N q through the roof and it was thought advisable to pull in the box.
 One large tau of chemical and one small tank were used in extinguishing the dimes which had badly charred one side of the barn and had eaten their way into the structure at the second story. The shingles were also blazing.
 The fire started from unknown cause in tar paper and shingles alongside the barn, which is part of the Josephus Stone estate. The house on the prop erty is occupied by MT. and Mrs. T. $. Brand. The recall sounded few min utes after the alarm. Owing to the high location of the barn the smoke could be seen from Main street, West Side and other sections of the city.

PER CAPITA FIRE LOSS HERE 3RD. LOWEST

According to the annual report of the committee on statistics and origin of fires of the National Board of Fire Un- derwriters, dated May 27, 1920, and GOV ering the year 1919, the per capita fire loss in Norwich was but S110. This is the third lowest fire loss of any city in the state with a population of 20,000 and upwards. That Norwich has such a low per capita rate is the result of the efficient work done by Chief Howard L. Stanton and the officers and members of the fire department.
 New London's fire department did not come up to anywhere near this mark In fact with per capita loss of SAB they are trailing along at the bottom of the list occupying ninth, next to last place. Stamford occupies the last place on the list, the per capita logs in that city be- ing $13.09, nearly twelve times the per capita loss in Norwich.
 Tine following table, taken from the fire underwriters report shows the num- Der of fires to each 1000 population and the per capita loss in each of the ten cities in the state, having a population of 10000 or more:

NORWICH MEN SHOW THEY
 FORGET FLAG MANNERS

This will be day for Norwich crowds watching parades to show that they have not forgotten their flag manners
 Twice within the last two weeks it has been demonstrated that Norwich men have quickly forgotten the lesson they learned during the war that it is good and patriotic manners to take off the hat when the American flag goes by in a parade.
 When the Knights Templar paraded in the city two weeks ago it was noticed that scarcely a man along the line of march took off his hat when the flag went by. The same was true at the Odd Fellows parade last week when the flag was carried
 There will be flags in the Memorial Day parade, several flags probably. Let the men of Norwich show that they know enough to take off their hats ev- cry time the flag goes by in the Me morial Day parade.

WAGE WAR NOW TO
 KILL TENT CATERPTI.LARs
 Now is the time. according to Prof o. H. Lamson of the entomologicVl de- partment of the Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs, to prevent recur- renee of plague of tent caterpillars ny destroying the nests wherever found Each nest, according to Prof Lamson, has population of about 300 young ca terr liars. which. if allowed to go un- mohssted. win develop 100 female moths that will in turn lay about 30 900 eggs. In few years the apple tree tent cat erpillar would be about as numerous as ever.
 Tn 1914 a contest among the school children of Connecticut resulted in the collection and destruction of more than ten millions of egg masses and more than three billions of caterpillars Even this widespread slaughter failed to make rerious reduction in the number of caterpiilars. Men can do but little, say the entomologists, against an insect species when it is increasing under fa- Vorahle natural conditions.
 Now that the caterpillar is feebly try ing 10 stage a comeback is the proper time tO destroy the nests Wherever a nest Is found. in the woods or along the roadside, on the wild cherry or an apple tree, the contents should be de- stroyed
