BROADWAY HILL RuTs
 BOTHER AUTO DRIVERS

Local motorists who have occasion to drive over Broadway hill are roundly censuring the weatherman, the ice and snow and any others who are in. any way responsible for the con- .dition of the thoroughfare. There are seven ruts running from top to bottom on the hill and these same ruts vary in depth from anywhere between three to six inches. An automobile which chances to get into one of these, and it is impossible to keep out of them, must follow where 1t leads regardless of the fact that another machine go- ing in the opposite direction may be occupying the same ruts. Some of the motorists going over the hill on Tuesday were forced to back down the hill to allow fellow companion in misery to pass. One of the mo- torists suggested that a liberal amount of sand sprinkled on the hill would be partial solution of the difficulty but that the application of pick and shovel would practically remedy the situation.

 OF FUTURE PRoGRAMME E

The w. C. T. U. held it's February meeting Monday afternoon and the president, Miss Harriet G. Cross pre- sided. The service opened with sing ing Blessed Assurance with Mrs. A. K. Nyman at the piano.
 After scripture reading and prayer Miss Cross spoke in a very sympathe- tic way of the loss to the union of it's late secretary, Mrs. H. F. Palmer, who filled the office faithfully for eight years, and had added much to the pleasure of the meetings as accom- panlst for the singing. She was faithful to the last and sympathy is felt for her dear ones.
 The regular reports were given, and a general discussion was carried on, about different lines of work, which the public will hear about later.
 Mrs. dastoerg was appointed to ar- range for the tea to be served Friday afternoon at the Central Baptist church, when the new w. c. T. U. state president, Mrs. Mary Wilson, is to be the speaker. The public will be cordially welcome to attend and learn about the departments of the white ribbon army. Their work is not done, although they have achiey- ed national prohibition and our friends are urged to attend that meet Ing and learn of the various lines of work, aside from total abstinence. AL though the "wets" tell us prohibition Is farce, here are some facts, for those who are willing to be convinced the w. c. T. U. people say:
 The city jail at Covington. Ky.. has been ordered closed because of lack of p-iSoners. Atlantic City jail is empty. One arrest has been made since Jan. 15 and that was for viola tlon Of municipal law The jail pop ulation of Massachusetts is rapidly vanishing so that county jails at Low ell, Taunton, Newburyport' and Fitch burg have been ordered closed. The house surgeon of the Charity hospi- tal New Orleans. says: "Prohibitiou has improved conditions wonderfuily Accidents are not only reduced in number, but in seriousness" Ken lucky Med !cal Association has de- elded that vigorous action will be taken in the United States court by the health board to prosecute all vio- iators of the law relating to prescrib- Ing Of whis.Sey by physicians of the state.

NORWICH STATE HOSPITAL
 TREATS SHELL SHOCK CASES

As a result of shell shock fifty or more returned soldiers who have be- come insane have been treated at the Norwich State Hospital and all ex- cept twelxe. have sufficiently recover ed so as to be paroled in the custody of selatives. While. some of these shelf shock cases are more severe than others, all, it is expected, will recover their mental balance. There have been several cases where a soldier has be- come mentally unbalanced through the nervous strain of the war. Many of these persons it is thought would have eventually become insane but the war aggravated their state of mind and hastened their collapse.

DEER RESCUED FROM RIVER
 ADDED TO PARK HERD

A large doe has been added to the herd of deer at Mohegan park, being brought here from New London on Tuesday,. The animal was captured in an exhausted condition by em- pfoyes of the T. A. Scott company af- ter she had swan across New Lon don harbor. The animal had appar- ently been scared out of the woods on the Groton side and had taken to the river, preferring to brave the icy waters rather than be captured. The Scott people immediately after cap turing the animal secured the ser vices of a veterinary who revived the deer. The Scott company called up the park board and offered to bring the animal to Mohegan- park. The board accepted the offer and is very apprec;ative of the interest shown by the New London company in giving the animal to the park and bringing it here in their motor truck.
