BROADWAY RESIDENCE BADLY Y DAMAGED
 BY FIRE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING

fire was squelched in short order. The fire had it origin in the laundry and as soon as the windows in the launry gave way, a strong draught blew the flames into the kitchen which was badly dam aged The kitchen walls were sealed with matchboard tpina with hard uE finish and this furnished ready fuel for the flames Had it not been for the fact that a door leading from the kitchen into a hall was closed the flames would have reached the interior of the residence and it would probably have been a total loss.
 Mir. Learned said Sunday afternoon that his loss will be in the neighborhood of $7,500 There was practically no water damage, the greater part of the loss being caused by fire and smoke: The smoke completely filled the house. MT. Learned spoke very highly of the efficient work on the part of the fire department
 in confining the blaze to the laundry and the kitchen.
 Mir Learned said he believes the fire started from an electric hat iron The iron had been in use Saturday afternoon by a member of the family. It is not known whether the current was left turned on or whether the button, which turned very easily, was jared on by closing door sometime during the day or night

ENGINEER PREsTON's WATER
 PROJECT IS STARTED

The first step in Conpecticuts water conservation project is very like.y to be undertaken in the near future and aft CT struggling through years of invest1- gation and numerous reports by emin ent engineers, the patter is nearer de- velopment today than ever before as the city of Waterbury at recent vote of their aldermen have decided thhe pro- ject is worthy and that Waterbury will participate together with the numerous cities and towns along the Valley as well as the 40 or more corporations a.ong the entire Nsugatuck Valley.
 It was in the spring os 1914 that these corporations engaged tie services of Charles H. Preston prominent corpor- alton engineer of the Valley and well known in Norwich, to investigate and report on the feasibility of this huge project and after years of study. tramp ing miles and miles of watershed over the mountainous sections of the statae, he reported that the project was feasi- ble that enough water could be im- pounded to not only flush many of the rivers of the state to a sanitary con- dtion but that with the billions of gal Ions of water conserved the river flow could be capitalized throughout the dry months of the year and annual spring freshets put practically under full con trol.
 His report pertaining to the Nauga- tuck Valley recommended the develop ment of series of monster dams on tributaries of the Naugatuck river at it's upper reaches and in one of these trfb- utaries he has already prepared plans for a monster dam of eye opean mason ary with a length of 1900 feet, height 142 feet and thickness of 11S feet with of structionn. On this stI cam nine bil- lion gallons will be impounded.
 This. with other streams and dams will make it possible to impound near ly 40 billion gallons.
 The project as whole will cost up in to the millions.
 This action puts Connecticut in line with New York state and others whc years ago saw the great opportunities of conservation of natures great wealth of water.

AT l. M. C. A. MEETING
 Sunday afternoon L. M Crandzl ad- dressed one of tho largest groups that have attended the series of summer Sunday afternoon discussions at the Young Mems Christian Association. In his talk on Personal Efficiency, Mir. Crandall emphasized the value of a high standard of religious life in attaining eusihess success. The strongest asset that young man can have in applying Tor a new position or in succeeding in the business world or in life is a sound physical mental and moral foundation. The Bible was offered as the best, the earliest and yet the most-up-to-date text book for man training for any branch Of the business world and many exam ples were shown that proved that there is unlimited opportunity for improve rnent and inspiration to even those high np in the business world.
 To 6e successful in business or in Christian works, a man needs to be four-squzre, 1. e. he must have ability, reliability, endurance and action. This vas further emphasized by a fve-point- ed star representing what q man must do to sueec d: Observe, listen, read, think ana discuss.
 Following the address a live discus sion brought forth many additional facts to prove further that the greatest es- sentiRl 10 personal efficiency is a nor nal, wholesome religious training and experience.
 P. J. Fritz of the association was in charge of the meeting. MT. Hill led the group singing, many of the well known hymns. Following the meeting a social hour gave opportunity for those present to get acquainted
