Hundreds of gallons of water were poured into a coal pocket at the Citizens Coal company yard on Meadow street early this morning when a railroad employe observed a smouldering blaze. The fire had apparently been burning for some time before being noticed. No se- rious loss was incurred.
 Two false alarms were registered yesterday afternoon. The first was received at 3:51 o'clock from box 412 at the Tracy Lumber com pany's yard on Benedict street. Seven companies of apparatus an. swered the call. The second bell was from box 43 near the intersec- tion of South Main and Dover streets. This box is located near the former plant of the old Inger- soil Watch company. Six com panies responded to the summons, which was recorded at 5:14 o'clock.

 So ridiculous and absurd were his statements that the state police themselves were compelled to ad- init that there was nothing to MT Hubbard's statement that truck load of machine guns were con- signed to a communist organiza- tion during the recent Putnam strike where Hubbard supported the efforts of the Bloom and Salz- burg Mills to reduce the wages of the underpaid textile workers, says SalZma'n.

Hartford, Nov 23--A special de- sign picturing the holiday festivity of the good old days" was select ed for the Christmas Seal of 1891 to commemorate the 18th anniver- sary of the sale of seals to fight tuberculosis. An old-time stage coach is shown drown by four horses prancing through the snow. Aloft on the upper deck a passen- ger blows his horn to blazon Christmas greetings to the coun- tryside.
 Twenty-Five seals, each with a different design, have appeared at the holiday season since the or ganized tuberculosis movement got under way. From small begin nings at a time when everybody believed tuberculosis was heredi- tary and the equivalent of a death sentence. 1t has carried its message that tuberculosis Is preventable and curable to every hamlet and cross roads in the country, until today few people remain who do not know that rest, fresh air sunshine and nourishing food are both the preventive and the curative agents for this disease.
 During the quarter-century of work which the new seal comment orates the ravages of the disease have been cut in half; more than 500 sanatoria have been construct ed; clinics have been established for early diagnosis; the tuberculin test and x-ray have been perfected for the more certain detection of A..l l. II l. lA.. outward symptoms; and the methods of education the general public to protect itself against the disease through knowledge, have been raised to high point of ef- fectiveness.

finding him out In the process. The
researches show that the maximum
speed Of the bee Is Is miles an hour
which motorists agree Is pretty poor
and that, as rule, the insect doesn't
fly any faster tAan Is. But apparent
ly we must always have something to
set an example. Just as America,

Famous Botanic Garden

The Botanic garden In Washington
was established by the Columbian In
stitnte for the Promotion of Arts and
Sciences, Incorporated by an act of
congress April 20, 1918. The present
site was granted by congress in 1920
and there is a tradition that George
Washington contemplated the estab-
lishment OF gardens In this locality.
Up to 1886 no improvements had been
made. The tract was stagnant and
malaral swamp and congress was
prevailed upon to make an appropri-
alton of $1,000 for improvements The
real beginning, however. Of the Botan-
ic garden dates from the Wilkes ex-
ploration expedition OF 1898 to 1912.
The STAFF included hotanist. w. ID.

and that upon discovering the error
Cleayeland gave II this name as repre-

II appears. however, that this story
has little foundation. for on maps
made before the Revolution the river
was called the Chagrin. The name Is
