Eight months ago, when the costs of mater laI and labor appeared to have reached their peak, we made substantial reductions in the prices of Stakeholder cars. These reductions were in anticipation of our ability, after the turn of the year, to purchase materials and to tabrlcate them at lower costs.
 The expected savings have been realized.
 With them, other savings have been made, as result of the greatly increased volume which Stakeholder has this year enjoyed
 During the first five months of 1921, our volume of business has exceeded that of any other automobile manufacturer except Ford
 The Studebaker plants are running at capac- ny With untitled orders on hand for over 1000 cars.

LAKE STREET PLAYGRoUNDs
 HAVE BEEN OPENED

The playgrounds at Lake street hav- ing been cleared of the material that was stored or them by city departments, were opened on Monday and during the week there ha, been a ve-y large attend ance of children who greatly appreciate the thoughfuiness of the Fairgrounds Association in providing a recreational place for them.

The Playgrounds Association has as yet been unable tc secure a suitable place for a playgrounds on the West Side but is still in hopes ot opening one in this section within a shor time. There is practically no place fol the children to play and a playground: is very much needed on the West Side.

NINE COUNTY FARMS FOUND
 SLACK IN COOLING MILK

State Dairy Commissioner Thomas Holt is making a drive to have milk cooled in accordance with the regula- tions of his department. The particular regulation referring to the cooling of milk is paraphaph twelve and reads as follows:
 MIX shall be cooled to 55 degrees F.. or below, within one hour after milking, and shall be maintained there after at a temperature not exceeding GO degrees F. until delivery.
 The inspectors of the department are now making tour of inspection uf the dairy farms of the state with the view of discovering violations of the regulation in the process of cooling milk. One condition found in a town in New London county where in nine farms visited, the inspector did not find a single one which the milk was cool cd at the temperature prescribed in the regulation. In not a single instance was the temperature of the process of cooling as low as fifty-five nor even sixty. The degree of temperatu rang cd from over sixty to eighty. The de- partment has sent letters to the own- CTS of the farms calling their attention 10 the conditions found by the in spectors and requesting that they be remedIed. If the letters are disregarded the prosecution of the owners of the farms will follow.
 The inspections will not be confined 10 the farms of the milk producers but will extend to the places where milk Is afterwards kept by dealers un- til 1t is delivered. The temperature of lhese places must be maintained at 2 degree not exceeding sixty degres.

FAMOUS COON DOG 'ROwDYp
 DIED IN HOT SPELL

Hundreds of coon hunters in this sec ton of the state will mourn the loss of
 Rowdy' the famous coon dog owned by Hermon J. Gibbs of Yantic. Rowdv died last week at Allyn's Point The dog had been in the habit of being tied up in the yard at Mir. Gibbs home he Ing let out to run occa sionallv. Early last week 'ROwdy" was let out but did not return that night. Next day a tele- phone call stated that "Rowdy' was locked in barn on Laurel Hill road. but later Mir. Gibbs was informed that he had escaped. The next heard of him was that he was al Allyn's Point in an ex- hausted condition but died before Mir. Gibbs could reach him. It is thought that he became exhausted during the hot weather and the heat was too much for him.
 "Rowdy'' was seven years old, coning 10 Mir. Gibbs from Monson. Mass. He was Kentucky dog. a cross between a Kentucky fox hound and an Airedale and was brought north by MT. Norcross Of Monson. During the past five years that he has been in this vicinity he has established an enviable record as coon hunter. During the first season 29 'coons were treed and killed. the next year 25 the next 19, the next 16 and the last year IS were killed. A large number of Norwich men and hunters from other parts of .he state and Massachusetts, have hunted behind "Rowdy'' and it is with sincere regret that they will learn of his death.

STATE GRADE TEACHERS
AT YALE SUMMER SCHOOL

SI SCHOOI
 Some 6O9 teachers, nearly all young women, from all over the state have set tied comfortably in White, Wriglt and Berkeley halls on the ale campus to at tend for six weeks the summer school de- signed to better equip them for their work, says the New Haven Journal Courier. There are no kindergartners and no high school teachers in the sum. mer school proper-the city guests are teachers from the first to eighth grade, as a rule not normal school graduates, and their salaries run from $SU0 up to nearly S2,000 for the seasoned teachers of the city schools.
 Some of the teachers are very young and especially the girls from the country district enjoy the life on the campus immensely iand can be seen walking under the elms with arms about each other passing before the statue of Ab- rahamus Pierson, the first president "Old Man Statuan," as collegians call him-and pointing out the marvels of the new quadrangle. Each girl pays s2 weekly for her room and S10 a week for her board. which is provided in the grill room of Dwight hall In many cases the bill is paid by her local school board
 Once a week there is a social, and also Q weekly dance, when the young men teachers in attendance on the school are in clover, for there are not many of them. Attendance on the sessions is not compulsory but since Supt. A. B. Mere dith has taken hold at Hartford there is a strong pressure on state teachers to take the course, in fact in a letter dated May If last the superintendent advised town school committee not to employ inexperienced teachers unless they are at least graduates of a four years ap- proved nigh school and in addition have completed an approved summer normal school course. The teachers report to Dwight hall where officials from the Hartford office register them, give them keys to their rooms and full information
 Apart from the routine work of the summer school this week brings a con- ference of principals of elementary an1 high schools, superintendents, agents and Americanization directors. These off cials and experts join in many of the ex- ercises of the summer school, the effect being to make the campus a stage of educational activities of many types The faculty of the summer school includes 16 teachers and 10 demonstrators. Among the faculty are John F. Anderson, in structor in psychology at Yale; George M Gapin. of the department of publi: l speaking of the New Haven high schoo. Katherine T.
