CONNECTICUT SMOKERS
BACK TO FIVE CENTS

Hard times have forced thousands in
Connecticut who last year smoked high
grade cigars to drop to cheap five-cent
cigars and under or take up the smoking
OF pipes. This Is one of the conditions
reflected in government sales tax figures
Tor the past month made public at the
internal revenue Office in Hartford.
Sales of cigars retailing at eight cents
to fifteen cents each showed a decrease
Of so per cent, while the cheaper grade
Of smokes showed a decided increase.
The comparison is made with the cores
ponding period of last year. Many ap-
parently cut out smoking altogether as
cigars and tobacco sales dropped off Is
per cent.
That Connecticut people have begun
to curtail on their use of soft drinks
and the theatres was indicated by drops
| of about 80 per cent. and Is per cent
respectively, IN such returns. The use
of oleomargarine and other substitutes
| increased.

LAYMEN'S CONFERENCE FAVORs
MORE RELIGIOUS PUBLICITY

Rev Charles A. McAlpine of New York,
a publicity man for the Northern Baptist
convention. addressed a laymen's confer
ence here Sunday afternoon at o'clock
in the Sunday school room at the United
Congregational church upon the subject
of religious publicity.
Churches that were represented by
delegations included the Central Baptist,
United. Park and Greenevilie Congrega-
tional, Federated, Universalst and Trin-
ity Methodist Episcopal.
At the conclusion of the conference the
sense of the meeting was expressed by a
vote on motion of James C. Macpherson
| that greater publicity along religious
Zines under proper guidance was advisa-
| BILE for the united churches of Norwich.
| This expression will be conveyed to q
| ministers conference which Rev. Mr..
| McAlpine will address this (Monday)
| morning.
| James L. Case introduced the speaker,
after first calling upon Deacon c. Ed
ward Smith to offer prayer.
Rev. Mr.. McAlpine developed his sub
jeet after announcing that his text would
be Neither do men light a candle and
place it under a bushel." He asked
three questions: Has the church some
thing to advertise? Is what the church
has susceptible of advertising? and How
| the first two in the Affirmative, and went
on to say that while nothing can ever
| take the place of the spoken word, the
opportunity of the charging and extend
ing the message of the church is i'm
measureably increased today by the
printed word. 1t has been said that fully
so per cent Of the things we know come
to us through the eye. Why has thu
church limited its message to the ear
The speaker referred to the power O.
the printed word that had been demon
strated through the use Of it in the wa
and said that as the church had tn,
greatest thing in the world he considered
that it could scarcely justify itself if
did not advertise. It should give a mes
sage in It's advertising, not merely at
tempt to awaken curiosity. The speak
: er advocated a greater use of the print
ed church calendars through mailing
, them to the church membership instea,
of distributing them at the services. H
also advocated newspaper advertising
always bearing in mind the idea of put
ting out a message through it. He spok
also of the wayside pulpit as CROWN
in favor to get the words Of Jesus be
fore the world.
: A discussion Of the suggestions mad
by the speaker closed the meeting.

AUTO KNOCKS TROLLEY OFF TRACK
AT CHELSEA PARADE CORNER

Mr. and Mrs John H. Carville and
Bridge, are at the Backus hospital suf-
fering from injuries received when the
sedan in which they -sere riding crashed
into trolley car at the intersection of
Broadway and Williams avenue shortly
after seven o'clock Sunday evening. The
trolley car was deraied and the automo-
bile was badly wrecked.
The cause Of the accident is appar-
emily a mystery as the automobile driven
by Mr. Carville was approaching the in
tersection of the streets from the north
giving the driver an unobstructed view
of the trolley for a distance of at least
700 or 500 feet and on the other hand
Motorman Glynn on the one-man troll
ley had view of the automobile for
nearly the same distance as the trolley
was going toward the city from the Falls
Mr. Glynn would say nothing about the
accident when asked on Sunday even
ing and It was impossible to get Mr.. Car
villes version of it as he had been taken
to the hospital a few minutes after II
happened.
The force Of the impact drove the troll
ley from the tracks and when the car
stopped It was headed directly dowf
Broadway and completely blocking traf-
| f1e on Williams avenue east of Broad
way. The automobile hit the front end
of the car, the driver apparently endeav.
ored TO avoid the crash by turning his
machine to the left into Williams avenue

The occupants Of the automobile wer,

Mrs. Trow also suffered minor bruises
and cuts and Is suffering from the ner
vous effects of the shock. Mrs Carvill

that she has fractured skull. She Is
also considerably cut and bruised.
AS far as could be learned there were
no passengers on the trolley at the time
of the accident. Immediately after the
occupants of the automobile had been re-
moved to the hospital the wrecking car
of the Connecticut Co. was sent to the
accident and hauled the automobile off
the tracks and got the car back on to the
rails The trolley suffered only broken

Another accident in which an auto

sion occurred Saturday night about 9
o'clock at the city line in West Thames
street where an automobile bound for

of Hartford, hit the trolley car once at
