NEW LAW RETIRES FIVE E. 0. VETS.


 Five veteran carriers of the Norwich postoffice are affected by the Sterlin- Lehlbach pension act which legislates postal employees into retirement when they have reached the age of 65, accord ing to a ruling made by the attorney general
 The Norwich men affected are Herman S. Case and Emil A. Jahn, two of the city carriers, and Alfred W. Lefffngwell, Charles N. Sweetser and Joseph T. Fra zier. three rural free delivery carriers.
 The bill goes into effect Aug 20, 1920, and provides that all clerks and carriers who have reached the. age of 65 years. and who have been in the service 1o years or more, shall be retired. Those in the service for 30 years or more are entitled to the maximum amount of pen sion, 50 per cent. of their average pay for the past 10 years. The maximum pension under that average would be $72o a year, but carrier to attain that maxi mum must have received a salary of S1.200 for the last 10 years.
 There is a provision in the law that a man who does not want to accept retire ment may obtain a two-year extension, if he is physically fit, and another two years beyond that if he is still in good and acceptable physical condition to dis charge the services required.
 As to the future. it is provided that

The announcement of this new activity says in part: "The Red Cross believes that it can best carry out this health service programme through the medium of the Health Center, a decision arrived at largely upon recommendations of lead ing health experts in the United States.
 Tt will take a general practical inter est in the problem of disease prevention and health preservation as a whole. It will not be exclusively interested in combating any one disease It will not center it's attention on any one group of people but will aim to be of practical and effective service to all the people and to all the health interests of any communi- ty. It will act only in response to a request from a community The estab- lishment of Red Cross Health Center will be matter for local determination by the Red Cross chapter or branch
 "The primary function of these health 1 centers will be to teach we'll people how to provide information which will enable people to protect themselves and others from disease and learn when they should avail themselves of medical advice and | treatment"

 rows deep Across the rocky. grudging southern slope At first youth left her face, and later

 and barren fall She reared her luSty brood, and gave That gladder wives and mothers love
 to keep. And wien the sheriff shot her eldest Beside his still. so we'll she knew her
 part, She gave no healing tears to ease But took the blow upstanding, with
 her eyes As drear and bitter as the winter

In a number of cases barges had run aground when they were brought to the dock to be unloaded.
 The Chappell Go. had the dredging done at this point about five years ago, and had to have the dose repeated now because of the sediment brought down the river had filled up the dock berths.

PROVIDENCE POLICE SAY
 RICE SHOT TWO MEN THERE

With the conviction in Washington, D. C., of George Rice of New London, the Providence, R.. l., authorities are confident that their search for the per petrator of two murders in Providence in 1919, is at an end, and they are con fident that Rice is the guilty person.
 Unless Rice is granted new trial, he must hang for the murder of Detective Sergeant James E. Armstrong in Wash ington last December, and Providence po7 lice inspectors who were engaged in hunting for Rice up to the time that he was arrested in Washington are confi- dent he will confess to his other crimes
 The two men murdered in Providence in 1919 were Konstanty Cigbulski, a mill hand, and Edward Szarko a Polish saloon keeper. e
 Cigbulski was killed in a saloon hold up in Providence on May g, 1919. He was standing near the entrance to the cafe when. two men entered with shot guns in their hands. They ordered the
