 MT. Lyons stated that last week was poorest week that he had ever had He said that he could easily recall days when both of the shops in town kept open until 10 or II o'clock Sat urday evenings and half day Sundays and were forced to keep many patrons outside. Now they arc closed at D m. and do not do any business after 7:3O. It appears that slaves have disap- peared, coincident with the reappear- ance of rent or two and a trifie more coal Business is slack in the tonsorial line all right. It has not been checked up as yet, whether the marriage market is progressing favorably. When it is it will be time to decide if the Misses of the town have become careless as to hirsuite adornment on faces of their swains or whether they are promoting a degree of thrift that has not heretofore been practised.
 State Police Active.
 Since the opening of the new high way'to Hartford the state police have been active between Hartford and New Haven and many arrests have been made. Berlin has had it's share I in the number of arrests made al- though they have not all been made by the state police.
 The new highway has offered many opportunities to be used as a speed way. It was built two feet wider than the ordinary state road, with an eight ! mile flat surface. Speedsters from all | directions have made use of this new road, but more or less have been | caught in the net of the law. Yes | terday there were more than enough | of the state cops" along the high l way, but no arrests were made.
 Weeks Activities.
 The Ladies' Aid society of Berlin l will meet tomorrow afternoon at the !! home of Mrs. George Dodd. An in- | teresting program has been arranged. l
 The Berlin Motherhood club meets | at the home of Mrs. John B. Smith l on Wednesday afternoon. The com mittee in charge has made no an- nouncement in regards to the pro- gram.
 Trains Make Dctour.
 All north bound trains were forced ', to make a slight detour this morning on the trip from New Haven to Hartford. A bar between the rails l of the north bound tracks split, mak- | ing them unsafe for traffic. The split occurred a short way above the pas senger station. The trains were switched into the south bound tracks and continued their journey as far as in that manner. A work ing crew was immediately sent to repair the mishap.
 Brotherhood Club to Meet. The Brotherhood club of the Ken | sington Congregational church will meet tomorrow evening in the church parlors Members of the club will read papers on the Pilgrim" as the | meeting is being held in honor of the Pilgrims of 1920.
