FEW BUCKS NOW IN U. s. ARMY
Number of Trained Doughboys Has Been Reduced, Bringing Total to
 Not More Than 10000.

Doughboys-just plain buck privates of infantry-are becoming almost as scarce in the regular army as shave tails were some time ago. Every time there Is a reduction in the size of the army, the number of buck privates is very perceptibly cut down. At the present time, 1t Is said that there are not more than 10000 plain. unspecial- ized bucks" in the ranks of the United States army. There are only 47,S37 men in all branches of the foot regiments while there were more than 53,000 enlisted men in the infantry when the war started in April, 1917.
 Impending additional reductions in the size of the army will show further drop in the number of pri- yates, officers say, and leave the in- fantry only a framework of highly trained specialists with just few humble bayonet-wielding bucks here and there to give sketchy suggestion of wartime force.
 This framework of specialists will be maintained, the War department declares, so that in an emergency the army may be able to quickly expand filling in the vacant ranks with raw recruits who, with few weeks train ing, will make our fighting forces a highly trained machine.

GRAND ARMY VETERAN
 ON ANNIVERSARY TOUR

Making a tour of southeastern Alaska on the steamship Spokane, was Judge Eli Torrance of Minnea- polls, Minn., accompanied by Mrs Torrance. Judge Torrance in 1901-02 was commander-in-c chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. Also he holds the distinction of being one of the few living men who constituted the guard which stood watch over the remains of Abraham Lincoln as they lay in state in the city of Baltimore.
 Judge and Mrs. Torrance are cele- brating the fifty-fourth anniversary of their marriage which took place in 1868. Both are in splendid health and neither has the appearance of having attained the age which is theirs.
 Judge Torrance also was chairman of the G. A. R. national committee for the 50th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg.
 While in Ketchikan last night, Judge Torrance called on J. M. Shoup to talk over the old days of the Civil War One of the first things he did upon ar irving in town was to enquire as to the number of civil war veterans, their condition and life.-Ketchikan Chron-

"Just Out of College" the Gold wyn picture featuring Jack Pickfo:d which is shown at the Empress the ater tonight for the last time, is from the breezy pen of George Ade, and in cludes in it's cast a new Goldwn ac- tress-the petite Molly Malone. Miss Malone's cleverness in This Is the Life," and Stop Thief" both Gold wyn pictures, was such that she was offered a long term contract to play exclusively in Goldwyn pictures. "Just Out of College" is the first picture under the new contract Edyth Chap man, Otto Hoffman and Irene Rich are others in the cast.

DOLLAR GOES
 A LONG WAY
 ON RAILWAYS

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-1f the public could get a clear picture of the story of a railroad dollar; that is. the story of the receipts and expenditures of company in terms of the cents which make up dollar, much of the present adverse criticism of the transporta- tion companies and their arrangements kould be dissipated in the opinion of local operating officials.
 This problem has been condensed into understandable language by the Bureau of Railway Economics in an analysis of the Illinois Central Sys- tem's operations last year. The com pany was taken as typical of the rela- tive manner in which carrier re- ceived it's dollar of revenue and the manner in which it was spent.
 The greatest source of revenue was from the transportation of freight, which netted 71.71 cents of the dollar.
 The balance of the dollar was earned %.fN the following. manner. By the transportation of mail, 1.69 cents; transportation of express, 1.53 cents; demurrage and storage, 0.49 cent; switching service, 0.S5 cent; the operation of parlor cars and ex- cess baggage, 0.56 cent; hotel, res taurant, dining and buffet service, O5S cent; station and train privileges and miscellaneous, 0.32 cent; rents of equipment, road, other property, joint facilities and miscellaneous income, 279 cents, and income from corpor- ate investments, 250 cents, a total of 100 cents. weF
 The blue print of where the dollar went proved a surprise to many per sons in the financial district The report showed that train, station and switching operations and other trans portation service took 26.09 cents of which 9296 per cent went for wages and 7.O4 per cent for material. The maintenance of locomotives, freight and passenger cars and other equip ment took 1894 cents, of which 6267 per cent went for wages and 37.33 per cent for material; maintenance of

COMES BACK TO BABY
Mrs Corriveann Has Position But
Can't Support Her Child

A pitiful revelation Of the high cost
Of living was made this week when
Mrs. Rose Corriveann. mother of the
healthy baby apparently abandoned in
the care of Mrs. Slight of Woodstock
some months ago. finally connected
with the local authorities early this
week and said that she was coming TO
Putnam to see her child. but although
she was earning Sl4 week she found
that the high cost of board and room
rent prevented her from aiding in the
child's support. Mrs. Corriveann said
that when she had paid for clothes,
meals and room she had nothing left
over for her baby.
Miss Cora Holmes. superintendent
of the Day Nursing Association, and
also a worker for the Child Welfare
Bureau. provided Mrs. Corriveann
with transportation TO Putnam and
Woodstock on Thursday from Woon-
socket. She visited the home of Mrs.
Slight where her child is being cared
for. and there was happy reunion.

DESPERATE WOMAN
WANDERS STREETS
Gives Birth to Baby Girl Almost
on Arrival at Day Kimball
Hospital
Has Ten Children and Is Only Thirty
Five Years Old

Apparently in great pain and hav-
ing suffered complete loss of memory,
an unknown woman was found late
Tuesday afternoon lying on the steps
of the Masonic Temple on Grove
street. Passersby stopped to assist
the woman. and quite a crowd had
gathered about her when Mrs. W. j..
Bartlett, notified by one of the nearby
residents. was notified and arrived to
take charge of the case. Mrs. Bart
lett called the hospital ambulance and
the woman was removed to the Day
Kimball Hospital, where, scarcely Is
minutes later, she gave birth to an
eight pound girl.
Throughout Tuesday night the
woman's identity remained unknown.
When she first arrived at the hospital
she said that she had forgotten her
name, but that it did not matter as no
one cared whether she lived or died.
She said that she had come from some
where on a train and that was all she
could remember.
Early Wednesday morning the wo-
man identified herself as Mrs. Law
renee Holbrook of Columbia. Sire
said that she was 35 years old and that
the child born on Tuesday was her
tenth child. All of her children are
living. six girls and four boys. and she
takes care of them entirely alone.
The hospital authorities notified
Il l.. 81 L. g.. ut ba
hospital, and he came to Putnam on
the train Wednesday Mrs Bartlett
was in the hospital when he arrived,
and she declares that she overheard
him assure his wife that everything
would be all right when she came home
and that he would not abuse her any
more. Holbrook, according to Mrs.
Bartlett. seemed more worried over
the expense Of keeping his wife in the
hospital than he did about his wife's
health 1t was said that the condition
of her health was one of physical ex-
haustion from the bearing of and car
ing for her very large family.
Mrs Bartlett left for Willimantie
on Thursday to make an investigation
Of the case together with the Wilt
mantle social worker. Mrs. Holbrook
and her child are both doing well at
the hospital.
The woman was in shocking con-
dition when she was found on the
street. She carried with her some
worn children's clothes. little money
and two tiny socks in her purse which
she had evidently knitted for the new
arrival.

In fact, it's long time since Put
nam has been so publicly Jared. It's
true that when women began to talk
about the vote and suffrage, etc, there
was plenty of heated argument all
over the map, but it died down to a
natural acceptance of fact aboat the
time Harding was walloping Wilson.

than last week, the feminine adoption

That was all very well, but it remain

metropolitan sensation.
And il all happened thusly:

FIRE DOES DAMAGE
AT POMFRET SCHOOL
Would Doubtless Have Been
Greater But Fer Putnam
Firemen's Aid
Flames Burn Students Form
Bucket Brigade and Fight Flames

Prompt response on the part of the
Putnam fire department late Monday
afternoon probably saved much dam
age being done to Pomfret School
buildings by the fire that started in
the roof about the kitchen chimney
and before extinguished burned over
quite an area Of the roof. causing
about $500 damage.
Before the Putnam firemen were
summoned just after 5 o'clock, stu
dents at the school formed bucket
brigade and, with their limited facili-
ties, fought the blaze as best they
could. They did effective work in
checking the flames, but IL is believed
that without the timely aid of the
local firemen, they could not have put
the fire out. for the flames had COM
munieated from the roof to the parti-
tions and were rapidly gaining head
way when the motor apparatus ar~iv-
ed
In quick order the Putnam firemen
had a stream of water playing on the
flames and before long the fire was
out.
While some students were fighting
the flames, others were working like
Trojans taking movable things out of
the burning building and carrying
them to safe distance away. They
were brought back to the building at
ter the fire.
