CHAPTER III.

The penitentiary is one of the things
that places our city on the map. There
fore any happening of importance out
there dominates the local news and fig
ures largely also in the Associated
Press dispatches.
The prison authorities had been hav-
ing considerable trouble because of a
number of men among the prisoners
who were agitating for an eight-hour
day, and some new fox-trot records
for the phonograph, or something like
that. The warden had not granted
their demands, so this jail-delivery
practically amounted to a strike. The
men who escaped left word that they
would not come back until their de-
mands were acceded to.
Of course it was really a lot more
serious than that, but wrote it up in
that fashion for the Daily Mail. Not
that felt particularly facetious-far
from it but that is my newspaper
style. The public and my employers
expect it of me. sl

HOW TO KILL ANTS
 REVEALED BY EXPERT
Connecticut State EXpcrinenter Gives Advice on Determination
 of All Kinds of Ants

New Haven. Aug. 2S P)-Ants happen in the best of families, says Dr. w. E. Britton, entomologist of the Connecticut agricultural eNperl- mcnt station, but even so they must be destroyed. Here is his advice for extermiSating them: Most of the ant invasions in dwelling houses come from the colonies established ir the garden or soil outside, and the destruction of these colonies will bring relief.
 Kill them in their nests outside by fumigating with cyanogas or drive them out of houses by scatter ing some repellent, such as naptha- lcne flakes, on shelves and floors, particularly near the runWays. They can be trapped with lard, ham, s'l- gar or in sponges moistened with sweetened water. After they are caught, hot water will kill them" |"
 But pr. Britton has learned that PharaohS ants and the big black carpenter ants are too hardy to be frightened by such treatment. So he advises something as 'forceful" as poisoned bait One suggestion ;s tartar cmetic, mixed with twice It's bulk in sugar and enough water to make a thick syrup, placed on a piece of cardboard. For carpenter ants he suggests that holes be bored from the outside into the galleries and that carbon disulphide be pour ed through a funnel into the holes. These holes, he says, should be plug ged to prevent the fumes from es- caping.

CHEMICAL WARFARE
 AROUSES GERMANS
Cities Take Steps to Meet Sud- den Death From Air

Munich, Aug. 2S LP)-That chem ical warfare on a large scale is cer- tainly coming, and the nations of the world had better make up their minds to face facts squarely, was the giSt Of a resolution passed by the German Society tor Protection Against Air Attacks when it met here.
 Professors Of chemistry, military authorities and fire fighting experts were assembled to consider ways and means to Counteract the air menace.
 Germany, speakers pointed out, is by it's geographical position open to air attacks from all sides.
 Dr. Kern of the Corinthian Anti Air Attack association, said that there existed about 100 different kinds of war poisons, but only about ten of them were known to the gen. eral public: the blister raising, the corrosive, the nerve -paralyzing and the tear gases. To all of these he said, there exist antidotes but the necessity remains to know them all and to be prepared for all. Prof. Carl Hegler of St. Georges hospital, Hamburg, related his ,X- periences in treating the cases of 2hosgen poisoning arising from the catastrophe there a year ago. He said that of the 800 victims only ten died, the others being saved by treatment which must be rapid to be effective.
 Prof. Robert Pschorr of the Char lottenburg Technical High school, said that no gas protection devices could assure 100 per cent protec- tion; neither would locked door keep out a burglar but it would be reckless procedure to leave doors and windows open, thus making it still easier for the burglar Fire Chief Stein of Magdeburg spoke of the latest chemical fire fighting appliances that might be utilized to quench conhagrations caused by incendiary bombs. Major GrosskreutZ, air expert ot | tilC lCl pCl lcll ctl llls Sdlu lIlet it was a flight of fancy to imagine i tenemy- bombers coming over like | clouds of locusts." Only a fraction of country's air force, he argued can be used effectively at the front He gave an instance of an air squad which protected the Mannheim-Lud- Wigshafen industrial area during the world war Three hundreds ascents were made, but only seven times did the German flyers come into contact with the enemy, and only eight en- emy planes were brought down. one hit in S7 tries.
 Equally exaggerated in his views were the effects of attacks with eX- plosive bombs, experience having shown that to destroy built-or area of SIX square miles, 10000 tons of bombs would be needed, which would require the services of 200 Gay machines or 100 night machines making 100 attacks each, assuming that each machine was capable ol making 100 attacks.
 The incendiary bomb. in his opin- lon, was most to be feared by the unhappy citizens of centers open te air attacks.

While a pipe poured tons of wa ter into the power house of Lan- ders, Frary & Clark on East Main street last evening, members of the city and factory fire departments searched frantically for a shutotf which controlled the flow.

 Damage by fire from the trans former was slight but heavy loss was caused by the flood. Two transformers owned by the Connec- ticut Light and Power Co. were de- stroyed
 Crowds were attracted to the scene by the sounding of the ire alarm at 9:42 o'clock from box 43 at Hart ford avenue and East Main street by Officer William J. Mccarthy and the blowing of the factory whistle,

Two shutoffs on East Main street were tried, but neither controlled the flow of water. None of the l..
