DEAR MR.. FIXIT: For the last
three years we have tried TO get
water on Stuart ST., from Twenty

year every one signed the required
petition, even the lost owners w.
are anxious 10 build modern home~s
Some Of us have bath rooms waiting
for water.
Now the Boy Scout reservation is
between the two streets and, Of
course, we did not bother to get their
signatures to the petition. Does
this hinder us any?
For the last two years the petit
tion has been lost, which seems
strange.
200 BLOCK, STUART ST.
Haufler will blow the dust Off
the petition and get action. Fail

DEAR MIR. FIXIT; The alley

Gladstone Ave. to Colorado Ave. is
impossible to such an extent that l
cannot get my car to the garage.
This is owing to the fact that there
are no cinders in the alley,

What is a coffee bug" and do they
attack human beings?

Coffee bugs or cocids are any of
several species of scale insects that
live on coffee trees. They are en-
countered in all parts of the world,
and spraying with insecticides or
other means of eradication are often
necessary to save the crop. Some
years ago an experiment was tried
in Ceylon of introducing a red ant
into coffee plantations to destroy the
cocids; but they attacked the work
ers who threatened to leave the
estates and that method was quickly
abandoned. Coffee bugs do not at
tack humans.

 AT TRADE SCHOOL
More Than 300 Take Advantage
 of Evening Glasses

More than 800 men, employed at trades of some kind during the day, are taking trade extension courses in the evening classes at the New Britain state trade school, according to records at that insti- tution.
 The students in the evening school all are men, there are no boys entered in these classes under Is years of age. Those who enter the classes at night are taking what Is known as a trade exten- sion course which is simply that of extending the knowledge they have of the trades at which they work during the day.
 In the words Of Director Her man s. Hall, the 'classes are not expected to make expert carpen- ters out of grocery clerks" but are to help men follow their own voca- ttons. They do extend a mans knowledge of his training by giv- ing bod carrier the rudiments of brick laying, a compositor some knowledge of display type setting and similar types of progress for men who wish to advance.
 Men who are not following the same trade in the day but who wish to learn something of trade at night, and who are known as "non-trade extension students, have made application and there are more than 200 of these on a wait ing list.
 Among the new classes starting this year is part time plumbing class. Opportunities are open for men in bricklaying and printing trades. The school, according to statement made yesterday. has an excellent opportunity for q press feeder to become a pressman and for other extensions in this and similar trades.
