PATIENT FROM NORWICH
 BREAKS INTO LAKE c0TTAGES

A Manchester correspondent writes: Complaints are being made to the police that cottages along Bolton lake, also the summer cottages. on the banks of the Hilliard pond have been ransscked and while the person who had broken into the cottages did not take anything of, value it looks as though 1t was being done fer revenge or to cause trouble rather than for the articles secured. !
 In the investigations made the po- lice have arrived at the conclusion that the werk is being done by per son who is insane. When reports of different breaks were received it was decided to call up the state asylum in Norwich where the. person who was suspected was EHpppsed to be and 1t was learned that the person suspected had left the institution without per mission on March 26 ana had been absent since. Further investigation revealed that the person under siIs- picion had been seen in 5 the Man chester vicinity recently and as it is one of his traits to live in the woods and get his living by breaking into summer cottages there is no doubt in the minds of the police that he is the man the police are looking for.

New uses for electricity are con- stantly, appearing. One of the latest is the detection of crude oil in the earth instead of boring for it.
 It is stated that crude petroleum has been located electrically in the shallow oilfield near Corsicana, Texas, and that further tests are being made around BurlSburnett A series of bat teries is used for the test. the nega- tive terminal being connected to wire which is dropped into dry waterhole. valley or indentation, and the positive terminal being connected to a land wire" which is used to make contact at various points o nthe surface of the field Investigated. It is stated that the higher electrical resistance of oil compared with other constituents of the earth, permits it to be located by the reduced deflection of sensitive instrument in the circuit.

RIGHT TIME TO BUY
 . U. s. LIBERTY BONDS

In view of the crusade that is being EagRd by the Savings Division, First Federal Reserve District, against fax CTS who are selling worthless stocks, especially to pee1Se who are being in duced to part with their government securities in order to buy them, the following circular letter prepared for tn savings division by one of the best known bend men in Boston is of spec1al interest at this time: \ During the war We bought Liberty bords for our conntrys sake, and Weie glad to pay slog for them n fight.
 Now, when we can buy slee Liberty
 Bonds for about SSe each lees - them for our own sake.
 Why! ... Because they are the safest invest ment on earth. = Because they are now selling at just about the lowest prices at which United States government bonds have sold in 40 years. Why the present low prices?
 Because in Me readjustment fol- lowing the war the cost of borrepyina
 money, like the cost of eycrythinr ! else. has advanced and, as the rate oj
 interest on Liberty Bonds Is fixed, tho selling price of the bonds has declined to meet the present cost of money. l You can now buy a t1oe Eibert, iL0an 1-4 per cent bonds for about se0 plus . a little interest, which vol will get back when you cash the nex
