new HAVEN POLICE
HAVE PISTOL duel
Fire at One Man-Later Catch
Another One

New Haven, Aug. 17.-Gun play is
enlivening the duties of New Haven
patrolmen. Today, Sergeant Thomas
P. Leahy and Patrolman James Ken
nedy and e. J. Moffat were in a duel
with Raymond Terrell in Maltby St.
after they had tried to arrest the man
for attempting to shoot his wife and
two small children. Terrell had been
arrested and charged with breach of
the peace and then bailed out He r
turned home and attempted to do
some shooting. The officers went to
the place but Mrs. Terrell did not
know where her husband was or what
he had done with his gun. In search
of the house Moffat saw the barrel of
shotgun come through the crack of
a door. He called to the others to
protect themselves and from behind a
chair fired at the door crack. Terrell
withdrew the gun and then thrust it
back again and fired. The others all
opened fire but Terrell got out of a
window and disappeared with the Of
ficers in the street trying to find him.
Sergeant Leahy heard three shots
and rushed around corner only to
find Warren Floyd, "a, standing with
a smoking revolver in his hand. The
man, who apparently had just broken
into a store said he was trying out
the gun" Officers tried to follow
Terrell but it was not until an hour
later that he showed up at home with
out the gun, claimed he could not
remember" and was rearrested.

AMAZED THIEF THANKED
FOR RESTORING VOICE
Fear of Man Who Was Holding Hin,
Up Brings Lost Speech Back
to Patient.

Paris, Aug. 17.-In a secluded spot
just outside the walls of Paris there
stands small and select intirmary
where diseases of the throat are
treated. Patients suffering from
chronic laryngitis go there for medi-
cal attention.
The attention of the police was
called recently to a series of daylight
hold-ups occurring in the vicinity of
the sanatorium. 1t seems that in
genious crooks watched prosperous
looking visitors enter the institution,
noted the worst cases-those so I'M
able to utter a sound that they had
to make signs to the doorman-and
then set upon them when they left
and robbed them of their money and
valuables.
One of the stick-up men received
the shock of his life the other day,
when an intended victim. upon being
attacked, suddenly shouted Help,
Thief !" in a voice which would have
been a credit to a side-show barker.
Fear had brought back the sick mans
voice. You have cured me-" he said
to the crook, Its ten years since l
have been able to shout like that.
Hero is hundred francs; I would
much rather give this to you than
70 on paying doctors"

ARTIFICIAL HAY DRYING
SUCCESSFUL IN ENGLAND
Make Hay While the un Shines" Is
Out of Date-Weather Not Fac
tor.

London, Aug. 17.--Making hay
while the sun shines is out of date,
Hay is now being grown in many parts
of England by methods over which
the weather clerk has no control.
In these advanced sections, the
grass is gathered, perhaps in damp
state, as soon as cut and cramped into
rick in the stack yard.
An electric fan does the rest.
When the rick is built metal cylin-
der is inserted so that an air cavity
is formed. This cavity will serve a 80
ton rick to insure the safety of the
curing and cooling process. A fan
placed in the cavity dries out the grass
and keeps it from rotting.
1t is claimed that not only are the
farmers saved the possible loss of
their crops through bad weather, but
analysis shows that hay dried in the
rick has higher percentage of al.
buminoids and carbohydrates and
Therefore increased feeding value.
The new method has been tried
and approved by the Ministry Of Agri-
culture and the ricks are appearing in
all sections of England and Scotland.

BILLIONS FOR BOTTLES
STOP THIRST FOR DRINK
Methusaleh Would Have Had to Con-
sumo Eight Bottles Every Min
ute of His Life.

Washington, Aug. II. History
omits the description of many of the
interesting things about Methusaleh,
among them his liquid capacity. But,
says the department of agriculture, if
he had been given the task of dispos-
ing of all the pop" consumed in this
country last year, he woulud have had
to start at birth and down eight bot
ties every minute of his 369-year span
Of life.
Each year. the departments Stats
ticians declare, thirsty America emp
ties four billion bottles of soft drinks,
exclusive of such beverages as near
beers made of cereals. The sparkling
flood comes from ten thousand bot
Ting establishments and pours across
10000 counters.
The enormous thirst quenching in
dustry is relatively new develop
ment, a commercializing of the dis
coveries of the chemist, and one that
necessitates watchful care by depart
ment chemists to prevent fracture of
the pure food and drugs laws. The
pop" of today, a department paper
says, is not the same as that clear
liquid formerly sold only at ball
games, fairs. and carnivals, reminis-
cent of over-ripe bananas, and with
little delectation for the palate. Had
not great changes occurred Mn the
industry, it is hardys possible that it
could have reached its present pro-
portions.
Fruit juices are sometimes found
in the beverages, it is said. but the
chemist has supplied many substitu-
ties which have a marvellous simula-
ton of natures flavors and perfumes.
