OLD GONG TO BE HEARD AGAIN
Bell From Mansfield Hose Wagon to Do Duty On Hospital Ambulance

The sound of the old gong, that was so familiar in days gone by, when the horse-drawn Mansfield Hose company truck passed through the street on the way to fire, or elamored as the gaily decorated hose wagon passed along in some parade in. the city, is to be heard again. It has been silenc- ed for some years, and. while it's clam or will not again denote fire. 1t will denote trouble of some kind to some unfortunate individual.
 Through the efforts of John B. Byrne of the fire committee of the common council and others interested, the gong has been brought from be- heath cobwebs and dust to do duty on the new Day Kimball Hospital ambu- lance. Either the gong on the ambu- lance when it arrived refused to do duty, or was too weak a sister, or there was no gong at all, anyhow, the old hose cart gong has been attached to the ambulance and will be heard once more when the call comes for the new vehicle with the red cross to respond to duty.

COAL SHORTAGE SERIOUS
State Chamber of Commerce Sena'
 Out Re concentrations

Investigations conducted by the Connecticut Chamber of Gormcsse . during the past two weeks show that the shortage of hard coal is very sefi- ous in the, state. but that there prob ably can be enough secured and transported to supply the daily needs of the people if the following rules are observed. The Chamber recom- mends:
 First. The people should conserve hard coal. They should use substi- tutes so far as possible. and be satis- fled with lower temperatures, as was done during the war.
 Second. The people should be req sonable with their dealers-in other words. an appeal is made to thespeo- ple to aid the retailers. They should be satisfied with deliveries on the in- stallment plan. A maximum install ment of one months supply is recom- mended.
 Third. Dealers should for a time observe the installment plan of deliv- cry. and the above limit. The dealer who fails to do so for the sake of grat- flying some influential customer IS not serving his customers well, nor IS the influential customer dealing fairly by his neighbor
 A letter has been sent to all Cham bers of Commerce in Connecticut ask ing them to report periodically on the local coal situation, and where no Chambers exist the local government is asked to do so. If the local situa- ton is serious, they are asked to fur- nish the names of the operators, agents. or jobbers with whim untitled orders have been placed.

JAcs CONTINUE EXTENSIVE
Stiff Fines Imposed On Monday Morn
 ing Drunks.-All Pay Up.

i .Jags come expensive. About $50 or about 30 days in jail" said Prose cutor Ernest C. Morse, Monday morn l ing. when trio of Saturday night celebrators appeared in the prisoners dock in the city court. That Judge l Geissler had the same sentiments was l evidenced when fines and costs were doled out
 ] Chris Garland and John Dillon were two of trio that were keeping late hours up on Patrolman Chandlers beat Saturday night. They were. talk ing loudly and long and when the offi- cer told them it was bed time they hesitated about hitting the hay and in hesitating they were lost, that is two of them were, the other got away.
 The officer hailed a passing auto mobile and sent it to the police station for the officer on duty there. When the auto returned it was loaded with the men with the loads and again re- turned to the police station
 Garland and Dillon told the court that they went down to Pascoag, Sat urday afternoon. They went to get a drink. several drinks, and they got them. They said that the first citizen of the Rhode Island town whom they approached did not know the ropes but the second attempt was success fuL Some man, unknown of course, procured the liquor, which caused the iutoxication, which caused the loud talking. which caused the arrest The ultimate result of these causes was fine of $2O and costs of sll.l4 Tn Gartland's case, and fine of 50 and costs of S11.14 in Dillon's case. Dli- lon got off easier because he supports several children.
 Adelard Grendon said that he nad been working as a carpenter on the new addition to the Day Kimball Hos n;tal He went to Hartford to get his whiskey and also met man who pro cured it. He enriched the city treas ury by paying $30.14. He was arrest ed on complaint of woman Tn the north end that he was making dis- turbance.
