American
HerOines
By
LOUISE Nj. COMSTOCK
Molly Pitcher

IN 1923, when a special 2-cent
stamp surcharged with the name
Molly Pitcher was issued to com
memorate the one hundred and fif
tieth anniversary of her herOism,
three college graduates, one high
school student, a Washington news
paper correspondent, a music crit
ic and librarian were asked to
place her identity. To most of them
she was unknown except as name.
SO fast does the memory even of
heroism fade away. For Molly
Pitcher was certainly one of the
earliest and has been one of the
most popular of American herOines.
In Carlisle, Pa, the place where
she was born, proud citizens have
erected a monument to her.
Mary Ludwig was of Pennsyl-
vania- German stock, a lusty, red
headed girl with an infectious
smile. During her younger days,
she worked out" and some say ii
was while hopping up the front
steps that she first attracted the
eye of John Hays, the local barber,
watching her from his shop across
the street. They were married in
1863. When John enlisted in the
Continental army at the outbreak
Of the Revolution, his molly" &C.
companied him to war, made her
self indispensable by cooking and
washing for the soldiers and soon
won for herself the name molly
Pitcher" by carrying pitchers of
cool water to the thirsty men.
In June, 1878, when Molly was
twenty-four years old. the British
general Clinton had evacuated Phil
adelphia and was retreating across
New Jersey to join Lord Howe and
the English fleet. At Monmouth
General Washington intercepted
him. The day was one of intense
heat. Fifty-nine English soldiers
died of prostration. Both men and
horses suffered sunstroke. Molly
was kept busy with her pitcher
All at once, however. she discov-
cred that far more important task
than carrying water awaited her.
Her husband. serving one of the
cannon fell, seriously wounded.
Without seconds hesitation Molly
jumped into his place, seized the
hammer, loaded the cannon and
fired round after round, until rein
forcements arrived.
General Washington rewarded
Molly with a commission as ser
geant by brevet, the state of Penn.
sylvania granted her a pension, the
only one that state ever granted to
woman for her own services In a
patriotic cause. and when she died,
In 1882, she was buried In the
cemetery at Carlisle with military
honors.

In the face of some of the most adverse conditions in history and despite strong competition from other fuels, the manufactured gas industry in Connecticut during the last ten years has been. able. to in- crease It's customers by more than ten per cent, it is shown in the statistical records of the Connect cut Public Utilities Commission and the American, Gas Association. During the same eten-year period, gas service was extended to nine towns which previously had not been served, bringing the total number of towns now served to sixty.
 According to the records, at the. end of 1922 the gas companies in Connecticut had 250,844 customers, including all types. while to-day they have 277,270 customers. The latter figure is based on reports made to the American Gas Asso- citation by thirteen Connecticut public utilities whose sales con- stitute 92 per cent of the total sales in this state and is the most re- cent figure available (June |, 1933). There has thus been gain in the decade of 26,426 customers in this state.
 The total population of the sixty towns which are now given serv- ice by the gas indusry in Connecti- cut is approximately 1,140,000 or about 87 per cent of the total population of 1,606,903, the 1880 census figure. Gas service is not available, however, to all of that number, since many of them live inthe outlying districts of towns beyond the reach of the gas mains. It is estimated by gas company off, ficials that close to 1,121,000 peo- pie or nearly 70 per cent of the total population have gas in their homes. This estimate applies only to domestic customers and is exclu- sive of industrial, commercial, house heating and miscellaneous customers. 4
 The number of homes in Con- necticut which are metered for gas service. to-day is 262,7S8 as compared with a total of S91,927

Boys Blamed for
 Making Trouble
Truck Crashed Window and Fire Started in
 Sign Shop

An accident and fire were credited yesterday by local author ities to the playful spirit of young sters.
 An auto truck owned by the Mi- 1ano Importing company crashed through the plate glass window of an A & P store near the corner of South Main and Grand streets. A youngster had climbed into the drivers seat and released the brake. The machine rolled a. few yards and went upon the sidewalk and into the window. No one was injured, but the window was wrecked.
 A fire broke out yesterday af- ternoon in the sign shop of the Hamilton theater late yesterday afternoon. Four companies of ap- paratus responded to a telephone alarm. No serious damage result ed. The shop is on the second floor of the building. No fire or smoke entered the theater proper. Youngsters playing with matches were believed to have been re- sponsible for the blaze. as {.-

homes in the state. Tn addition to these homes, the public utilities also serve 12,785 industrial plants and commercial establishments, the latter including hotels, restau- rants, stores and the like. The bal- ance of the customers use gas for general house heating and mig cellaneous purposes.
 Although officials of the gas in- dustry anticipate a sharp rise in the number of gas customers and in gas use when general business returns to normal, it is not likely that many of the 109 towns in Connecticut which now do not have gas service will be reached by gas in the near future. This IS due to the large expense and many technical difficulties which, are ip- volved in extending the gas dis tribution systems long distances from manufacturing plant. Be- cause homes are widely scattered in the presently unserved towns, the investment in pipe lines per home would make the cost of serv- ice prohibitive.
