IT CAN be truthfully said that Amer

IT CAN be truthfully said that Amer.
lcanass men are, becoming better
dressed and more carefully groomed
as whole. Not effeminately so, as
some are perhaps inclined to infer
for it's almost an impossibility to even
imagine that of our virile, clear-eyed,
outdoor youths who so valiantly rep
resented our, manhood in the trench
es. :. But wholesomely trim and i'm
maculate they are becoming.
80 It. is true that most mems fashions
originate in England, but they are in
terpreted and vested with an athletic
individuality that is distinctly Amer
ica's own.
Small Hats the Rule
= Correct fall hat fashions display an
even smaller tendency than has been
heretofore observed. The manufac-
turers are producing shapes with
plenty Of roll to the brims.
Lighter colors than usual appear
to be most approved. Quantities of
grays are being sold in addition to
the very popular tans and lighter
shades Of browns.
Soft fedoras are accorded the
greatest favor as this shape is found
to be best suited to the majority of
men.
VI - Fabric Hats Established
- Fabric hats of two-toned mixtures
and scratch effects, are such altogeth-
.er. comfortable and practical head
wear that their position is becoming
more and more definitely established.
q Nothing need be said about fine
,felts,s as they are staple and indelibly
identified with correctness.
Velours and beavers are coming in
for more than their usual share of
favor. This, is due to the fact that
these which are the aristocrats of
soft hats, have been materially re-
duced in price and may be purchased
at reasonable cost for the fall sea-
son.
= Derbies With Low Crowns
Derbies, too, must be considered,
as they are inseparable from the
heavy overcoats of the season. Fol-
lowing the general tendency Of small
:, ness, they display*,flow fiat crowns
and narrow curled brims.

 Private Barber wa some of the first men in Norwich to enlist at the outbreak of the war with Germany. Early in April, 1917, he enlisted in the old Fifth com pany, at that time commanded by Capt William G. Tarbex. and went to Fort Terry with the Fifth company boys in July, 1917.

LOCAL YOUNG MEN ARE
 VICTIMS OF PRACTICAL JoKERs

During the past two weeks new stunt has been introduced to Norwich In the practical joke line and is said to furnish much amusement for those on the inside but is rather distaste- ful for the victim. The joke has been played on several local young men within the past few days much to the discomfort of the said young men.
 The victim is taken one side by one or two of the Head on" men and con hdentially told that a certain young wo- man is anxious to meet him. The vic tim is immediately all attention when he thinks that some fair maiden has been sInitten with his charming ways. He is then told that he is to go to certain house (the house PlGzed al- ways being a vacant one), and whistle outside the house where the girl is sup posed to live.
 His infermers even go as far as to offer to escort him as far as the house to make sure that he gets the right one. Meanwhile the rest of the crowd si- lently slip away and make for the place arranged, first having provided themselves with suitable garden pro ducts. stale pies and aged eggs. They secret themselves near the place and wait. Pretty soon the innocent ''babe" strolls nonchalant1y by the house and melodiously whistles the sig nal. The signal supposedly to notify the young lady of his presence is re ally the signal to open fire The gang straightway proceeds to lay down a well directed barrage that soon has the victim looking like one of Mack Sennet's pie-throying comedians. Speed records are often broken by vic- tins in their haste to get out of range.

WHY THEY SANK THE SHIPS

"A ship sunk meanS another ship needed" is reported from Berlin to have been the common greeting during the war when a bubmarine got in its work. This touches on the most sinister as- pect of the ruthless campaign" the commercial motive. Germany was not sinking enemy ships and neutral yes sels entirely, or even primarily for military reasons; it was actuated by the deliberate purpose of destroying the worlds shipping while German ship ping was safe in port. with the idea of getting pretty much all the car rying trade of the world when the war ended. Germany would have a large mercantile marine, an dit intended that no other nation should have. All the worlds business on land and sea was to belong to Germany when the fight ing stopped.-Philadelph Record.

HANDSOME DALLAS GROWN
 BY Ex-PATRoLMAN JOHN IRIsH

This has been trying year for dahlia faneiers, the humid weather blighting the blooms, or seorching sun following heavy rains causing the petals to drop off With cooler weather, however, the growers are having better luck.
 Former Patrolman John Irish, who has over 50 varieties of this stately flower under cultivation in his garden on Laurel Hill avenue, was able to cut some mag nifceut blooms dpring Thursday, several from California bulbs.
 Some of his choicest blossoms are the Madame Perit, a beautiful cactus of deli cate shaded orange, rose-tipped; the Ear ly Morning, of daGty lavender; showy peony dahlia of salmon tint and velvety petals ca1rcd Fireworks; the Cecelia, a choice specimen in canary hue, with or ange center the Doctor Peary, of deep, rich crimson and others.
 Wind storms, as well as rain, fog and blistering sun have bothered the growers this season so that it is real triumph to be able to bring to perfection such handsome blooms as have rewarded MT. Irish's labers and careful cultivation.

JOBLEss MEN WAIT
 IN LINE FOR WORK


 The man with the job today is a man envied by his fellows as work in the city is almost at ebb tide. The streets are thronged by able-bodied men who would be glad to find something to do. h previous years there has been a great demand fer farm labor but with wages steadily on the decline for this work many of those living in the cities will not go to the country to work. Woolen mills are working short hand ed although the condition is steadily Increasing. The cotton industry is feeling the industrial depression and one plant has been shut down since June. Several other plants in the city are shut down or running short time.
 Every morning at the Elizabeth street school lot there is long line of men waiting to get a chance to apply for a job. Advertisements for male help wanted are answered by hundreds of job seekers. A striking example of the conditions not only in Norwich but all throJ gh the eastern part of the state was shown only few days ago. A Norwich man driving to Norwich from Putnam overlook a man and his wife walking along the highway near Plainheld. The Norwich man stopped and asked if he could give them a lift and his invitation was accepted with many thanks.
 On the trip to Norwich 1t developed that the man and his wife were com pletely out of funds having spent their last cent in getting as far as Plain- field. The two had come all the way from Montreal, Canada, seeking work in every town they passed through but always meeting the same answer that there was not work. Both were will ing to take up any kind of work if they could get it. The Norwich man, who is a well known business man, staked the couple to room and board and il was two days before he could locate any kind of Job for them. This is the case of hundreds of men today.
 One glance around the city on an | afternoon wlll tell even the casual ob- server that t9ere is something wrons with the labor situation. As many as 1 fifty men can be seen every afternoon | haunting the streets in the vicinity ot l the square trusting to luck that some 1 thing may turn up to give them a job

DATE FOR RECESS OF
 CONGRESS AGAIN SET BACK


 Washington, Aug. 1.-The movement for a recess of congress received sev- eral set-backs today and as a result the tentative date for beginning the 3o-day vacation turned hack fsom August 20, to August '24 or25.
 Probable delay in house passage of the tax revision bill was the principal cause of talk of postponement. Repre- sentative MoHdeI WyeHaiHg, house re- publican leader, informed Senator Lodge that August 20 appeared toe early for a recess and that it now was hrobahle the tax bill could not be gotten through until August 24 or 25. Efforts, how ever. are to be continued to pass the bill by August 20.
 Another obstacle to the proposed va cation was rising opposition among both republican and democratic sena- tors. because of the status of several pending bills. Several demecFats serv- cd notice in the senate today they would oppose a vacation resolution, possibly te the extent of flibustering, unless the good roads bill is enacted.
 A compromise on this legislation was reached today by the senate nest office md post roads committee which agreed unanimously tN report a bill next Monday calling for s10e, ,oae 900 of gov ernmeut appropriations. Of this $50,- o0o0e0 would be immediately available and an additional s50o0O, ,0oo would he provided in six months.
 There were. however, some favorable doveleplN pts in the recess movement The senate so cleared it's decks of pressing measures that it adjourned te. night until next Monday while the house. where pre-recess bills are con Eested. arranged to foreso it's usual weekend recess and work Saturday.
 Among the measures, senate and house republican leaders said they ex- 0ected to put through before the recess is one 10 extend the emergency tariff law until permanent tarih legislation i. enacted.
