ALL STORES TO OPEN AT eA. M.

The agreement among the subscribers to the Dollar Day movement not to open for business until a. m is feature of the Dollar Day announcement that should appeal to sub urban patrons If the stores to open at an earlier hour of the out of town buyers would be unable to be on hand and would perhaps feel that some of the best bargains had been snapped up by the early pTospecor With all the stores opening at sharp everybody can be on hand to share equally in the big offers of the day.
 The public should bear in mind the policy which prae. adopted mail telephone orders will be received for these Dollar Day special offerings It should not be di- cult for the public to understand why this policy is necessary Here is the explanations: The Dollar Day plan is move
 ent to advertise the advantages of Norwich as trading center for Eastern Connecticut Unless the people come to the city and visit heoeS much of the advertising value of the movement will be lost Again many of the Dollar Day special offerings limited n quantity and it would be more
 than unfair to allow patrons to order by telephone some of the best values in the stores and dsappont customers who pos sby at great personal inconvenience have come to the city at the opening hour for the express purpose of securing some

RED LETTER DAY FOR SHOPPERS

To feature goods that can be sold for dollar of course the primary idea of Dollar Day. but this does not that it confined to the things that can be retaed at one dollar each There are all sort of combinations that be purchased for dollar great many stores will group together newly ceyed articles such as three with standard retail price of under the dollar requirement. Dealers in wearing apparel for both men and women and dealers in shoes wifi have on sale goods sacrifice reductions featuring the principle of dollar possibly several dollars off the regular price Any multiple of the dollar can be used in the same way and still comply with the spirit of the day. Thus Dollar Day will not only be chance to big bargains small articles but also chance to big savings all kinds of wearing apparel as well.

International Expositions.

The first international exposition in this country was held in New York in 1853. The centennial exhibition took place in Philadelphia in 1876, the Worlds Columbian exposition in Chi cago in 1898, the Pan-American ex- position in Buffalo in 1901, Louisiana Purchase exposition in St. Louis in 1904 and the Panama-Pacific exposition In San Francisco in 1915. These were the most important exhibitions having an international character.

coal,s uncertain Ei.,to-y.

The story of coal is a very uncers tain one. No one seems to know when 1t first began to be used fer fuel All through the centuries 1t pops in and out of English literature as something taken for granted, and when it was finally found well in the van of the great industrial expansion of a cen- tury or more ago it occasioned no special comment.

MEN AS WELL AS WOMEN

Women not the only ones who will be favored by dttionS of price for will fare just well and perhaps better. It doesn't matter whether has one solitary dollar bill to invest whole pocketful of the Hong geen he will find his well taken of All he has to do is to walk into store inquire for the department selling the tc he wants and he viii find it. There will be reductions on
 mems apparel sporting articles tools of all kinds and many other items too numerous to list here However it is safe to say that if looking for bargain he will surely find it in the stores of Norwich on Dollar Day.

MEANT TO CALL THEM QUICK
for misunderstanding When
She Rang the Bell.

Aunt Dinah, plantation born and
reared, went to nearby town to hire
out" She was very promptly hircH
by young housewife. who, seeing her
lack Of familiarity with modern house
holds, started to train her.
She showed Aunt Dlnah her small
silver-service bell--there were no cleo
trio bells in the Old-fashioned house
and told her that when it was rung
she must come into the dining room.
Aunt Dinah said she understood. A
few days later the mistress was seated
on the broad veranda with friend
when she heard a tremendous clangor
from the direction Of the kitchen. 1t
came nearer swiftly and soon ldenti-
fed itself as the sound Of large bell.
Puzzled, the housewife entered the
hall and there stood Aunt Dinah,
swinging large dinner bell vigorous
ly. "Why, what on earth is the mat
ter, Aunt Dinah2" she gasped. "Why
are you ringing that bell?'
"Well, Miss Mary. thought dat was
the way folks called each other in dis
here house. Didn't you show me yo'
bell the other day? I found dis one
In de cupboard and wanted you right
quick In de kitchen, so l rung hit"

Slackputter, the sagacious sleuth Of
Petunia, "a sign board was blown off'm
the front Of the Right Place store and
hit on the head a gent that was COM

ceum course lecture at the op'ry house
last night, and knocked him senseless.
I d'know as believe in omens and
such things any more than the average
person, but couldn't help thinking
that when circumstance like that
happens it Is a sign of something

Labor Savers.

At n home in North Delaware street
the man Of the house gathered two or
more bushels Of nuts last fall and put
them in the attic. His wife spends
most Of her time at the office with
him. so the house Is empty every day.
However, recently the wife remained
home one day and heard terrific
noise In the attic. Investigating she
found two squirrels rushing around
like mad, trying to get out a closed
window. They had gnawed hole in
the roof as large as grapefruit and
had disposed of. the whole mess Of
nuts. The owner said they saved him
the trouble Of feeding them, for he
had gathered the nuts for them.-In-

By-Products of Lumber.

Thanks to the activities Of the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture,
and especially the forest products lab
oratory, ways have been revealed by
which well nigh every scrap of tree
can be put to good account, and the
waste material of one plant or factory
can be utilized gainfully in the manu-
eacture of commodities turned out by
others, says the Scientific American.
Through the medium of the wood
waste exchange much Is being done to
promote the further working up of by
product lumber, but the practice is
relatively only In It's infancy with us.
Finally it should be kept In mind that
the alcohol that can be made from
sawdust Is chemically Identical with
grain alcohol, and therefore valuable
for many industrial purposes. AS a
source of energy, In place of gasoline,
1t is used successfully and extensively
abroad. A ton Of so-called wood refuse
will yield as much as 20 gallons of
alcohol.

REALLY NO GREAT MYSTERY
Though at First II Did Seem Remark
able Where Those Boy Scouts
Were Coming From.

Now there are boy scout stunts and
boy scout stunts, but 1t took Terre
Haute troop to put over the best one.
1t was at meet at the First Baptist
church, and they were illustrating an
early morning at their summer camp,
Kinneumapoose. The scenery, except
for small pup tent, was the regular
church furniture. But still the audi
ence could stretch its Imagination
enough to make the scene effective.
The first streak of dawn was an
nounced, and then slowly there
emerged from the pup tent yawn-
ing. stretching scout A wee interval
and another followed him. Another
lapse Of time, and another scout
emerged from the tent. Then came
others until there were IL on the plat
form, and still others were coming.
The audience was almost incredulous
with amazement,. for. as every one
knows, a pup tent Is so small that II
cannot accommodate more than three
boys at the limit
Then out started the thirteenth,
and evidently he was too sleepy, for
he jOstled the tent so that 1t slipped
away from its mooring, and there back
OF II was the entrance to the pool for
baptism. The youngsters had been
concealed In 1t and used the tent
merely as an entry to the PLATFORM
