Stage Set for
 the Tariff War
Ireland Takes Up Chal- lenge Issued By Great
 Britain

It looks as though Great Bri- tain and Ireland are preparing to gain in other parts of the world such trade as they will lose ' at home on account of the tariff war. Some say this does not amount to much, but there must be some mis- take about that. M
 According to statement in the London News Chronicle England's E exports last year to Ireland amounted to $155.000,0O0. Her exports to other countries are giy- en as follows:.
 India $144,000,
 South Africa $105,000,000. X
 Canada, $1OO, O,000,000.
 Australia $70.000,000.
 New Zealand $55,000,000. :
 France $11O,000, 900.
 Germany, $90,000,000.
 United States, $85, 100000.
 If these figures are correct, and Ireland exports as much to Eng land as England sends to the Free State, it is easy to see that in case the tariff war is carried out it will force both to find another market for what they have to sell. Like as not, they will discuss the ques- ton at the conference at Ottawa and representatives of the Free State and Britain will think bet ter of the proposed tariff and ad- jtlgt their difference in manner to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. If they are looking for business abroad, they should take care of what they have at their own doors. i

Much Damage
 By Forest Fires
Swept Over Vast Areas in ,Wolcott and SOuth-
 ingtOn

Brush fires, which swept over two square miles of woodland, de- stroying hundreds of young pine and spruce trees and over 5000 cords of wood cut and left for sea- sontng, were practically extin- guished ?tearly to-day by hurriedly organized bands of fire fighters in the vicinity of Wolcott and South ington. The fires had been burn- ing since Wednesday morning, not withstanding the fact that over 200 men were employed in every possi- ble effort to check it.. They suc- ceeded in vdefiecting it's course to save dwellings,.
 It was at first believed that q lighted cigarette dropped from an aeroplane had started the ire. but 1t is now the opinion that careless berry pickers were responsible. The fact that the fire broke out m two or three places would indicate that someone had set them. This belief is shared by E. M. c. Eddy of Simsbury, supervisor of state forest fire wardens and James iJ. . Watson, chairman of the New Brit ain water board. The Southing- ton Water company recruited "a big force of unemp pioyed men to aid its employees in fighting the flames. The Mattatuck forest fire crew ln- der the direction of Louis c. Tolles, Southington fire warden and Henry Norton, warden of Wolcott, was as- sisted in their sector by another force of unemployed men hurriedly drafted for service.
 only for the advent of the rain 1t is admitted that the situation would have become very serious. The dry brush and foliage proved excellent fuel for the fire which ragged along a mile front.

City Leads State
 In Retreatants
More Than One Hundred Pledge Selves to Attend Next Month Tribute to Hennessey, Who Pioneered Move Locally.

With more than 100 laymen pledged to attend spiritual retreats within the next month Waterbury has taken the lead in Connecticut in fostering movement that has become national in scope. A few years ago when the present Cath ollie Laymen retreat action was of fcially endorsed by high. church authorities, one Waterburian, James J. Hennessey, attended the first services and returned to stimu- late interest here. His efforts re- suited in thek organization of the Waterbury band, which since has made an annual pilgrimage to Mt Manresa, Staten Island.
 Two years ago the movement be- came so popular in Connecticut that the Dominican Order pur- chased Charles Island near Milford and inaugurated the services that not only attracted retreatants from all parts of the state but gave fm- petus to the popularity of the idea locally. The result is that this city next week is sending the impress sive representation of 50 prom inent Catholic laymen for the week end retreat. This delegation will meet in front of the Knights of Columbus club on Grand street at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon. A spe- cia1 bus has been chartered for the trip. A number. will make the trip in private machines, which will as- semble at the Milford Yacht club.
 On Friday afternoon, August 5th. the Mt Manresa retreatants of this city will leave Waterbury by auto and train for their annual visit. They will be welcomed at retreat house on Staten Island. by Rev Will

Smith Predicts
 Victory In Fall
Sees Connecticut in DemOcratic Columns Addresses
 West Haven Politicians

Don't change barrels while go- ing over Niagara Falls" and Two garages for every car" are two campaign slogans suggested by a prominent republican business man of Waterbury, according to J.. Francis Smith of this city, who was the principal speaker last even ing at a meeting of members of the democratic, party in West Ha-- ven. The session was held in con- nection with the Democratic Vic tory campaign and MT smith as secretary of the State Central com. mitte was invited to deliver an ad- dress.
 New Haven papers gave prom, inent space to his statement that the United States has reached a turning point in politcial history. "The democratic party is to-day the majority party in Connecticut,p said Secretary Smith two years ago Governor Cross was elected and the rest of the democratic ticket was defeated by close margin. Since then the trend throughout Connec- ticilt has been strongly democratic and to-day we are certain of suc- cess in the fall election. In the cities we will have the support giv- en Alfred E. Smith four years ago and this year we will not lose the backing of the small towns.

European Voyage
 on St Car Savings
Figured That Car Owner Could Save Price By
 Riding Trolley '

A trip to, Europe on savings re- sulting from riding the street cars to business is possible, according to statistics published by the United Railways and Electric Company of Baltimore. For example man living five miles from his office and driving his automobile to work spends 82'1-2 cents per day. This is based on 8 1-4 cents per mile which the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce sets as the cost of operating an average auto mobile. Street car fare for the same distance is twenty cents Using 300 working days in a year as a basis the expense to and rom the mans office by street car would be $60 a year. Using an auto mobile the cost would be $247.bo. The saving is 1S7.50.. except in cases where car is owned ana not used in which cases only the increment cost of operation would be saved, about one-half or tnis amount. Most Atlantic steamship lines are offering trips to Europe for as low as $1S0.

Runs In Cycles


 Political history runs in. cycles, One cycle began right after the Civil war when the southern. states were not allowed to vote and the republican party had an easy time electing it's nominees. Then Grover Cleveland was. elected for two terms and during his second term ran in- to a. period of depression, although it is generally believed that Cleve- land was one of our greatest pres- idents.
 : Next came Bryan" continued MT Smith, with his ideas on silver and other economic plans consider ed unsound. From the days of the Cleveland depression, big business has supported the republican party and insisted upon coupling the de- mocratic party with hard times.
 Situation Now Changed
 "The situation is now changed, Herbert Hoover is the Bryan of our time, with his lnind full of un- sound economic plans. We must al- ter our ideas and work out new economic system. The voters gen. orally and the businessmen of the nation are dissatisfied with Hoover and his administration. A repub- lican businessman in Waterbury recently suggested two slogans to be used during this campaign. One was Two garages for every car'' and the other Don't change barrels while going over Niagara Falls"
 This year we will not find big business nor businessmen generally bringing pressure to secure votes for the republican party. Some sof them may not be enthusiastic sup porters of Franklin D. Roosevelt, but they most decidedly do not like Hoover. As result they will main tain a hands off policy and the voters of the nation will be free to perform, their patriotic duty of rid- ding our national government of its present inefficient and incompetent leaders"

.25,OOO Tons of Ice
 Used By N. H. Road
Average Consump tion Yearly to Protect Trav-
 cling Ice Boxes

The New Haven Railroad uses more than 25,000 tons of ice an- nually in icing perishable products in it's "traveling ice boxes," most of it being required in the summer months. While there are few chemically refrigerated freight cars in use, by far the larger majority of the cars carrying perishables are of the natural ice type and require regular refilling along the route. Such cars must be serviced every twenty-four hours, the ice bunkers being filled completely each time. The bunker of the average car holds approximately 10000 pounds of ice when full. Careful check is kept on refrigerator cars while en- route and whenever one fails ito reach the next icing station before the twenty-four hour period is up arrangements are made to ice the car wherever 1t may be. Most of the work, however, Is done at regu- lar icing stations where platforms level with the car tops facilitate the job of loading.

New Order at
 the Post Office
Pertains Principally to Newspapers and
 Magazines

Notice has been received at the Waterbury postoffice of an impor- tant modification in the so-cafled transient seconded rate of post age as applying to newspapers, magazines and other periodical publications when, mailed by others than the publishers or news agents.
 The old transient rate for this class of mailings is one cent for each two ounces. This rate Is, now continued in force except that un- der the amended regulation when the postage at the rates prescribed for fourth-class matter is lower, then the latter rates shall apply. In other words, when the weight of the newspaper or magazine Cor the package of unaddressed cop ies) is such that it can be sent cheaper by parcel post rates than by the transient second class rate, then the patron shall be given the benefit of the parcel post rate. This arrangement does not, how ever, change the postal classifica- tion of newspapers, magazines. etc, as such matter will still be included as in the second class and subject to the laws. regula7 tions and, conditions governing matter of the latter class.
 The instructions, as received by Postmaster A. N. Colgrove, say that the postage on newspapers, magazines, etc. must be computed on each separately addressed copy, or package. of unaddressed copies, and not on the bulk weight of the mailings; postage to be paid by means of stamps affixed to the matter.
 The above regulation ts already in effect, the order as issued by the postmaster general bearing date of July IS, 1882. x

SUMMER ALTERS
 PHONE TRAFFIC
Vacation Season Sees Rise in Toll and Drop in
 Local Calls
TOLL PEAK AUGUST


 Midsummer brings the most dras- tic change of the year in telephone traffic, toll calls increasing tre- mendously as compared iwth other seasons of the. year and local ex- change calls drbpping well below the average statistics of the. South ern New England Telephone conn pany reveal. The years peak in the use of |, toll service is reached during the hottest weather, iH the month of August, and hits the very highest point during the favorite vacation period. 'the first two weeks in August" u
 Fsom telephone standpoint, the vacation season stars jAst before Memorial day. Then 1t is that the tide of vacation telephone traf- fic begins to rise steadily, while local calls in the cities begin to decline. By the end of June. CO., incident with the closing of schools and colleges and the beginning of business vacatoins, when homes are closed and the exodus to va- cation centers gets under way, the curve of toll calsl takes an even more definite ascent and remains on the mountain tops of the graph until school opens again in Sep tember.
 Although many of Connecticut's summer toll calls are made to out 0f-state points, such as hte Adiron- dacks, the Catskills, Atlantic City and the like, sby far the larger portion are made to points in Con- necticut and New England, show ing that residents of this state do not have to. seek distant places for ideal vacation spots, Calls to the summer colonies along the shore of Long Island Sound are particularly numerous and 1t thus seems apparent that the Connecti- cut shore offers the greatest ap- peal to residents of this state. The shore resorts also account for a very large gain in telephone in- stallations during the summer months.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

The church was well filled.
It was a beautiful wedding,
people said, craning their
necks. A great many women
cried, as women will, when
Elizabeth on the arm Of
'Diedrich Lennox paced slowly
UP the ribboned aisle, preceded
by her sisters. 1t went off
very well indeed, said the peo-
pie. Louisa thought, express
sionless, There should have
been a rehearsal-how very
clumsy Alice is with the
train"
Presently they came down the
aisle, having made their VOWS
-AAfore better-for worse-in
sickness and in health. The
audience, with a rustling,
surging sound, stood to see
them. Lennox, it was observed,
was flushed, his eyes bright.
The girl on his arm, a little
eclipsed by her draperies, was
as white as her veil. People
saw how he put his hand over
the hand on his coat sleeve
and held it there. The OAR
lingsW observed Mrs. Van Al
styne, a bit of lace and linen
to her eyes.
Then they went back to the
house. The reception was to
be- small, owing to the change
in plans. Not more than a
hundred guests, Louisa had de-
cided.
Lennox and Elizabeth in the
carriage.
He smiled at her as he got in
and sat beside her, there. He
fingered a spray of Gala lilies
in her bouquet and said, half
shyly, 'Mine-now."~
Very Much Upset
He leaned back against the
plum colored upholstery and
shut his eyes for a moment.
the false excitement had left
him. He. was short Of breath,
there was a pain in his breast,
it stabbed like a knife.
Elizabeth looked at him, cast
herself upon him, smothered
him in her fragrant whiteness.
"Lennox-oh, what is it?"
she implored. You're worse?
You're Tell me, dearest!"
Don't worry-Pll be all
right" he answered with an
effort. He held her, and went
on thoughtfully. I'm sorry.
I don't think I can go to that
reception"
You needn't" she answered
him instantly. why should
you?" Then, on a little sigh,
'Lenox, I'm so frightened"
At this appeal, the strongest
from beloved to lover, he raj
lied.
"''why, I've not kissed you!
