more private worries than he knows
how to cope with. When Mr.. j. Smea p

he clearly implies that these highly Suc-

though the general feeling and the spe

the same fundamental cause, it is still
true that that cause has oucrated in opc
way upon the artist and IN another
upon the common man. The great
classes of society have succumbed tc

these conditions breed. The artist il

FIvE-MAN COMMISSION WAS
 BEGINNING OF INEFFICIENcY

Changing the Norwich gas and cleo trical commission from Q three-man commission to a fve-man commission, as was done several years ago. laid the groundwork for inefficient management, according to a report made by a special committee of the Chamber of Commerce which was appointed to investigate criti- cism of the gas and electric department of the city.
 The Chamber of Commerce committee believes that much criticism might have been avoided if the common council had been more active in its supervision of the gas and electric department. it com mends the gas and electric commissioners for having employed H. E. Mole as a consulting engineer and expresses con- fidence that the present superintendent, c. B. Taggart, will continue the work begun by MT. Mole
 The report follows:
 The committee authorized by the di- rectors of the Norwich chamber of com merce to investigate causes for the crit icisms of the Gas and Electric depart ment submit the following report:
 From the outset the technology of the department was not discussed because of the lack of technical knowledge which your committee has on the subject of DldluldCLuIllB gas ana elecLr1Clty. Our purpose was to seek an explanation of the criticisms as submitted to your com mittee.
 The committee believes that had the court of common council been more ac- tive in its supervision of this department much criticism would have been avoided The law states that the commissioners make an annual report to the council as of April 30th of each year. The report was submitted to the council at the usual time, but in insofar as the committee is aware. it is still in the possession of thC council and has not been returned to tho department for printing. Consequently your committee and the public have been deprived of the information herein con- tained.
 The committee further believes that a commission of three would be more ef fcient than one of five members, and that at least one member of the commission should be a manufacturer. The change from three to five members has been largely responsible for the inefficient man, agement in the past, according to our bes

NERVOUS HEADACHE OF YEARS STANDING QUICKLY RELIEVED

Headaches are one Of the hardest maladies to conquer that the human flesh is heir to. because-as a rule. it is only a symptom-maybe a sour stomach, or it might be the eyes or a multitude of other things.

soIidfhed Pnisnn Ga.

Canned, solidifed poison gas. which is claimed to be absolutely fool-prOot and mobile, has been perfected for usa by the American soldier. according Co the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
 That two studies - defensive and offensive gas research go hand in hand already has been demonstrated, for, in addition to the development of new forms of gas, army experts at tha Edgewood, (Md.) arsenal have had ig improve the gas masks to make them effective against some of the new gas,s brought into existence there. In tech- nical military progress, every new weapon means a call upon the armOrer for a new defense.
 As result, this country today has not only gases which surpass anything used during the world war, but a mask which, in recent tests, was worn twenty-four hours day for a week except at mealtime, without any dis- comfort whatever. Breathing was nor nal, speaking was simple, and it kept out all the gases thus far known
