 Freight Car Derailed.

than 50 tons of steel left the rallS St the Berlin depot this morning when an attempt was made to move it with switcher. The weight of the car caused the rails to turn over and the road dbed was torn up for nearly oo feet. The soft earth caused the rear trucks of the car to sink nearly three feet into the ground. It was found necessary to call the wrecker from Hartford to replace the car upon the rails. Railroad repairmen are at work getting the track into shape.
 Truck Comes to Grief.
 An automobile truck loaded with furniture lost parts of it's load yes- terday afternoon when the rear wheels sank into the soft earth of the road leading to the. Berlin depot. It was found necessary to unload the truck before it could be extrica ted from it's position. The selectmen had a gang of men at work this morning filling in the depressions with gravel and broken brick.
 Labor Shortage.
 Brick production is being seriously interfered with owing to the shortage of labor Nearly all of the yards have OILY ndll CllS oI iil6h uSGdSu to carry on the work. Early in the year the shortage of coal curtailed the brick output, but now \that this difficulty has been met, labor cannot be obtained at any price. Improved conditions are expected early in April, as every year there are a number of factory workers who leave the shops for outside work.

Holland TO Censor Films

THE HAGUE, Oct. 27.-The Dutch
government proposes to follow the ex.
ample of other countries and establish
national censorship Of motion pic
lures. This control has previously
been in the hands Of the various mu-
inequalities.
The proposed national system would
admit of two classes Of films-one
which could be shown to all the popu-
lation and the other only to those
above the age Of eighteen.
