number had increased to 79,3O7; by
1919 to 210,559; and by 1923 to 241,-
1856. In 1925 the number fell to $780,
GAS.
Average Wages.
Average annual wages in 1899 were
$3.50. In 1914 the average wage was
SS44; in 1919. S1.4S2; in 1923, S1,6S4;
and in 1925, S1,670. At the same time

while his compensation for the work
increased 1867. In the last 2 years
the value produced per worker has in
creased 1880 while his compensation
shows slight decrease.
Need Industrial Union.
II the workers in the industry had
increased their compensation since
1923 as rapidly as the value OF their
output increased, they would have
averaged $2,059 in wages in 1925, on
$3.50 more than they received. The
ability to secure their share of the
increased value they are PRODUCING
will come when the organization Of an
auto workers union keeps pace with
mass production. -

 The interest that the town has taken in Julius, the S9-year-oId wandering turtle, was revived yes- terday when news was started tbat Julius, who was last seen headinp south on the Meriden road, is in- tending to join Jumbo, Soutbine- tons 75-pound snapper that was caught recently, and making the trin to the Philadelphia exposition in company with the big fellow.

ELECTRIC STORM
 TERR0RIZES TOWN Local Home Struck by Lightning
 Bolt, Damaging Interior RAIN RUINS CORN CROP
Paper Goods Company Builds-Par- rot At Large-Rev. Fiske Ex- pected Home Soon Assessors Visit Here.

One of the most severe electric
 storms in years hit this town last
 evening and terrified residents and
 motorists passing through. The
 sky in the west began to darken at
 about o'clock yesterday afternoon
 and soon great black clouds piled
 up in the sky that promised heavy
 rain and probable electric distur-
 bances. The slight breeze that was adrift died down and the town was silent under tho expected onslaught of the heavens that was not long in coming.
 When the storm broke, rain came down in veritable sheets, making 1t impossible to see across the road. It beat down standing corn and other vegetables in the fields and made fiat masses out of what had been a few seconds before, beautiful flower beds. The streets quickly filled with water and soon the flood ragged up over the curbs and sub- merged the sidewalks, at times com- ing over the footways to depth of 6 and inches. Motorists, unable to see because of the blinding tempest, parked their cars beside the road and often sought shelter in some nearby house. Some of the back roads became impossible morasses in an incredibly short length of time, the downpour driv- ing into the dirt and making muck of the road bed few minutes after the storm started.
 Lightning came hard on the heels of the rain, great streaks of fire criss-crossing the heavens and thunder shaking the houses with its tumult Several trees in this vicin- ity were shattered by the bolts but only one serious result of the storm was recorded. The home of Rus sell S. Gold on Worthington ridge was struck by one of the flashes and considerable damage done to the outside. The bolt entered, tearing | off shingles and capboards and | running up the wall from the down. stairs window, where it entered to ttlS lSOlli illliiCul1tClS oDONS' AiSiS 1t ran along the easement of the window in the upper room, scorch- ing the woodwork and making ashes of the curtains. An act of providence was all that saved Mrs. Gold from serious injury as she had just finished closing the window mentioned and was but few feet from the spot that was struck when the bolt hit. Mrs. Gold was slight ly stunned by the blast but suffered no ill effects from the experience.
 AS result of the streams being as low as they were, the Berlin underpass at the station did not fill up as rapidly as might be expected from the fall of rain. About IF feet were reported at the height of the storm and only one car, bearing 4 New York license. was stalled in the spot that has claimed So many The car was removed by mechanics from nearby garage.

%,OOO DAMAGE AS LIGHTNING STRIKES E. L, Kings Barns Destroyed
 During Heavy Storm BIG REUNION TOMORROW
Graded School Get-together Plans Complete and Program Is An nounced-Factory Mail Makes Record Journey-Briefs.

More than s2,0o0 damage was
 done when lightning struck the barn
 of F. L. King on North Washington street during the storm yesterday
 afternoon and completely destroyed
 it, along with two adjoining sheds. Ten tons of hay stored in the barn
 disappeared In flash of flame, 65
 chickens were burned to death, a
 large quantity of farm implements
 was destroyed, and two old auto mobiles were badly damaged.
 The lightning bolt apparently split and travelled all over the barn, for the entire structure was in flames Immediately. Mir. King was away at the time and Mrs. King called telephone headquarters to give the alarm. A misunderstanding was created in the excitement and it was necessary for headquarters to call back again to learn where the blaze was. Even then the impress sion was created that the fire was further out on North Washington street. The apparatus made fast time, however, and the real location of the fire was found without delay. A second alarm was then sent in.
 The flames had spread so rapidly that there would have been no chance to save the barn had the firemen been on the scene when the bolt hit, so. they were forced to con- fine their efforts to saving the sur rounding structures. In this they were greatly handicapped by the lack of water, there being no hy- drants in that section of the town. The men did great work with the chemical containers and MT. King this morning was highly praising them. Both sheds were too far gone to be saved, but that which held the 65 chickens adjoined a hen coop housing a considerable num- Der of other chickens. The flames were eating their way toward this, but the tiremen sprayed the nearest wall with chemicals while attaching hooks to the shed. The shed was then pulled down and the coop saved.
 The shifting wind constantly en- dangered the other farm buildings, the roof of the house catching at one time, but being saved by fireproof shingling, the walls of the house be- ing scorched, and the garage being damaged by the flames and sparks. The heavy rain proved a boon to the fireffghters and kept these near by buildings watersoaked enough to prevent the sparks from taking firm hold.
 Mir. King today placed his loss conservatively at s2.000. It was completely covered by insurance.
 The lack of hydrant facilities in the district may be corrected in the near future. The New Britain pipe line from Burlington runs through a short distance to the north of the | King place and it is hoped that | when the Plainville Water Co. be- | gins it's purchase of water from the | Hardware city tap can be made in | he pipe near North Washington l street and the many farms along hat street protected.

That this matter of not allowing

stated by Miss Hawkins, who told a

not local one, other communities fac
