 men will shift beats every three
 months In the future. instead Of scmI-
 annually which has been the plan In
 vogue for many years. The head of
 the department believes that the new
 plan will work out more satisfactorily
 for the men. for the reason that there
 are now what are known as good and bad" beats. and the men wis get an opportunity if shifting more regularly.

Kelly being in charge from ?. m. to 12 midnight. and Sergeant John J. King in charge from midnight until 8 a. m. is tempor- any and will be in effect until new captain is selected by the board oi police commissioners. There is to It no change in the traffic squad or tic theater men at present. For the tim being there will be no street sergeant during the day time, because of the shortage of men. Chief Hart is com. plimentary in his remarks concerning the work of Policeman Joseph Ken nedy at the City hall post, one of thr most difficult in the city.
 Motorcycle Policeman William z. Strolls has been assigned temporarily to duty at the Lyceum theatcr, ,ilti' the return of Policeman Clarcrct Lanpher, who is off duty for few days. It is probable that Motorcyclt Policeman. Strolls will be assigned to : traffic post temporarily.
 Vacancies in the department ha, c | nee essitated the use of eleven super for duty at night. Chief | Hart has decided to employ severa regularly for tim, nd the remainder of the work wili oo divided among other supernuner- try policemen.

NO INCREASE IN
 TRADING IN 1922 Town Clerks Records Indicate
 Absence of Realty Boom FACTORIES TAKE INVENTORY
Several Plants Suspend Operations is Observance of Holiday-Represen- tativc-elect Arthur Benson to At tend c. o. P. Caucus.

The staid old town of Berlin wa
 not affected by the real estate boom'
 that were noticeable last year in sus
 rounding cities and towns, Town Clerl
 Arthur Woodruff asserting today that
 there were no more than the usua
 number of realty deals last year and the usual number of warranty ant mortgage deeds filed at his office.
 The town clerk has not compiled figures on the number or deals put through or deeds recorded, but re- calls no period of marked activity in realty circles that would bring the total beyond that of last year.
 Representative elect Arthur R. Benson will be present at a republi- can caucus to be held tomorrow eve ming at Hartford, at which g. nam ination for speaker for the house will be decided upon to be submitted to the legislature next Friday when the general assembly, convenes. Since the assembly is so overwhelmingly in the hands of the G. O. F., the nom. inee Is sure of election as are the committees, which will also be or ganized at the caucus.
 There is considerable interest To- cally as to the committee that Repre- sentative Benson will be attached to. In past years Berlin district has been honored with important committee seats and 1t is expected that Benson will be honored with place of i'm portance. Since, as in all assemblies of this kind, the business is handled chiefly in committee, there is at all times a scramble for places on com mittees handling matters of finance or to which the more important meas ures are submitted for action.
 Representative Benson is making his first appearance in state politics. | He succeeds Francis Deming of the | Berlin Savings banK, whom he bested | in a political tilt at the polls at the recent election. The new representa- tive Is secretary of the Mildrum Jewel company of East Bsrln. in which dis trict he makes his home. He is a graduate of the Middletown High school.
 During the world war he enlisted and won a commission while in the service. He was in some of the fight ing overseas. being wounded in the of one engagement.
 At the suggestion of friends in East Berlin, Benson threw his hat into the , political ring for the nomination for t this year and after an active campaign came through with Inc vote necessary to place his name ,n the republican ticket.

EXECUTED FOR USING COAL
Under Edlct Issued by Edward ! of
England This Mas Capital
ofense.

In 1905 King Edward I Of England
issued a proclamation making the use
of coal as fuel In London a capital Of
Tense. One case is on record where an
accused man was tried, found guilty Of
burning coal, condemned and promptly
executed.
The invisible, gaseous products OF
the combustion OF coal were early pro-
nounced detrimental TO health and veg
citation. Resentment became intense
when ladies of rank, their faces made
fairer by liberal applications OF pow
der, underwent & curious change OF
complexion whenever they sat near a
coal fire.
The nature Of the smoke and odor
from burning coal remained a mystery
until after the middle OF the Seven
teenth century, when an alchemIst de-
vised an ingenious process of heating
coal In the absence Of air. The liquor
obtained was known as coll OF coals
and was sold MS a most potent remedy
for many ailments.-Detroit News.
