Razing Structure State authorities have begun the raging of the old barn which stands in the rear of the site of the old post office. Bids on this building
 were called for by the state but lit- tie interest was shown in the pur- chase of the building and the state officials have decided to do away with all buildings on the corner of Worthington ridge and Pennington avenue which might obstruct the view of the new highway.
 Work on the gas station being built on the Jones property is pro- gressing at fast rate. It's comple- tion is being looked forward to in the near future.
 The work of laying the gas line today reached the station underpass. Excavation work at that point has put traffic on a one way basis until operations are concluded. Several points along the Beach Swamp road were also restricted to the passing of single cars as work on the new highway continued.

BUILDING NEW STADIUM
Coach Yoet of Michigan Expects to Have Use Of Field Several Weeks Before Play.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Aug. 5 (R--A new stadium for western conference football is moving swiftly toward completion at the University of Michigan that Coach Yost expects to have the use of 1t for practice sev- eral weeks before Oct. 13-the date on which the contract calls for it to be ready.
 The Wolverine bowl, although the newest in Big Ten stadia undertak- ings. will not be the largest. The stands at Ohio State and the Univer- sity of Illinois will accommodate more. Nevertheless facilities will be afforded about 60.oo0 persons to view Michigan home games. or about 13,00o more than could be packed into Ferry field which the bowl re- places.
 The new stadium Is another evil dence that football is a paying enter prise at Michigan. inasmuch as the total cost of construction-close to 1000, 0,Oo0-will come from football profits. It was only few years ago that the $500,000 Yost field house on the Michigan campus was con- structed on the same financial basis.

ABANDONED AUTO
 FOUND IN THICkET Mystery tn Ownership of Coupe 7, With Jersey Markers BARN BURNED DOW N
smeigel Property Destroyed In Spec taculAr Blaze-Selectnen to Meet Tabs Lose Ball Game - Notes of Interest.

C0n6lQeraDle mystery SuTTouHuo discovery of an abandoned car which waa found yesterday in the woods of Blue Hills, remote from any dwell- ing and which had been there for at least three months, police esti- mate.
 The machine was found by East Berlin motorists in the woods and who accidentally came upon the car which is of the coupe type. It stood about 500 feet of the main highway and bore New Jersey mark CTS and contained bread and other foodstuffs. It was in bad condition outwardly but an examination of its motor proved that no serious defects were present. Rats had made their way into it and had built nests and attacked the foodstuffs giving the authorities to believe that it had stood in the deserted spot for con- siderable length of time. Local po- lice are checking up with New Jer- sey authorities in an effort to un- tangle the problem. It is generally accepted that the car was stolen machine which was abandoned in the local woods by the thieves when gasoline ran low.
 Barn Burns to Ground
 A large barn owned by Julian smeigel, located in East Berlin near the Mattabesett bridge, burned to the ground at about $ o'clock satur- day afternoon after . fre of un known origin was unnecessarily combatted by the Middletown fire department which was summoned to the scene. Loss Is estimated at be- ing between $2.00o and 5000.
 The smeisel family was absent from the scene of the blaze at the time the ire was discovered, having gone into Middletown to do some shopping. Passing motorists discov- cred the blaze and the Middletown department was called but absence of water in the near vicinity of the farm hampered the hremen in their efforts to save the building. The loss involved includes several tons of hay. farming implements and . small amount of live stock.
 The smeigel place is better known locally as the Burr Homestead". The present owner purchased the property about three years ago. Lo- cal authorities were notified of the blaze and were in readiness to send aid if the occasion demanded the summoning of the New Britain de- partment. The fire, which was made spectacular by the burning hay. at- tracted hundreds of motorists who lined both sides of the road for 8 great distance on each side of the blaze. Local constables acted in di- recting traffic while the congestion blocked the highway. The loss Is reported partially covered by insur- Ance.
 Game Postponed
 The Legion league baseball game which was to take place on Saturday afternoon between the Kensington Boys club team and the East Berlin Boys club team was called off at the last minute when it was found that Che Kensington squad could not gather its men together for the en- gaEement The cancellation added another delay to tho already much delayed Legion league and fans are AAxious fer the words Play Ball"
