Connecticut gas utilities and Con-1 necticut manufacturers of gas burn-. ing appliances will be well rep resented ct the 18th annual convention of the American Gas association which will be held at Atlantic City, N. J., from Monday to Friday of next week, inclusive. This years five-day program is ex- pected to be one of the most im- portant in the history of the asso- citation in view of the distinct evidence of improvement in the ill- dustry, its present national adver- Using campaign, and an extra ordinarily large exhibition of gas appliances and equipment.
 Connecticut utility executives will attend the annual meeting for the purpose of exchanging thoughts on new developments in the utilization of gas heat, and of hearing reports from a wide variety of committees which at the last convention were assigned the task of delving into divers subjects for the purpose of assisting the efficiency of the gas industry in service to its customers.
 Exhibit Products
 Connecticut manufacturers of gas appliances and equipment will pre- sent their products, especially a number of new and improved mod els, along with those of manufac- turers throughout the country, at the big exhibition to be staged in the Atlantic City Municipal Audi toriunn. Meters and temperature regulators feature the Connecticut products which will be on display.
 The gas industry will meet in convention this year under more suspicious circumstances than have prevailed in recent years. In Con- necticut, for instance, the net gain in sale of gas during the first seven months of the current year rose by 9 per cent above that of the cor- responding months of 1885, with gains being recorded in all major divisions of customers, domestic, house heating, industrial and com mercial. And this increase was achieved despite the fact that the number of customers in the state was slightly under the total at the corresponding date last year, show

 Improvements in gas appliances which have boosted their efficiency and enhanced their appearance, both with respect to heating and refrigerating apparatus, and the de- velopment of gas air-conditioning are held to gas company executives to have been responsible to a large extent for the better conditions now prevailing within the industry.

SIX RULES FOR
 AVOIDING COLDS
State Health Officials De- clare Common Cold Is
 Dangerous Disease

Pointing out that the common cold is a dangerous disease because it lowers the resistance of the body and leaves it susceptible to a variety of pathogenic bacteria, the state department of health in its cur- rent weekly bulletin gave six rules which if followed will help Connec- ticut people to avoid not only the annoyance of the cold itself but its possible complications.
 Most serious of these complica- tions is pneumonia, and it is esti- mated that three-fourths of all

The next ballet presented was
called "Centripital," and was a rit-
ual Of fire. None had any trouble
in getting the Significance Of the
title.
While the dancers changed cost
umes, Mr.. Frazier played a waltz
from the opera Faust" by Goun-
cd.
The Spanish-Mexican Hat dance
was presented by the group, repre-
senting the Aztec days in Mexico.
Lois and Marguerite each pre-
scented a solo Spanish gypsy dance
from the Southern Spain, following
which Mr.. James presented a Span
ish Peasant dance with the tam
borines.
The three, then presented two
dances, one the Mexican Heel
Dance and the other the Hungar-
ian gypsy dance.
Thus concluded the program
which was enjoyed very much by
all. It is educational as well as en-
tertaining, showing the tendencies
Of the Modern dances to get their
origin from the older folk dances.

Many Game Law Vi0lators Fined
Fish spearing with the aid Of
lights, trapping out Of season, lille
gal transportation of fish, and lille
gal possession of a gill net were in
cluded among law violations re-
ported the past week to the division
Of game and fish.
An epidemic of fish spearing
with the illegal use Of lights broke
out in the Minnesota river near
New Ulm. Several New Ulm resi-
dents paid fines of $40 each and
costs for this offense.
Jacob J. Kramer, a trucker, was
fined 500 and costs for transport
ing 1000 pounds of tulibees. Kram-
er told game wardens that he had
intended to sell the fish in Bis
marck, North Dakota.
Robert Landgren, of Meadow
lands, farmer, was fined $50 and
costs for illegal possession of gill
net. Albert Crown of Rochester,
paid 500 and costs for trapping
without a license. It was his second
offense. He had previously been
arrested for trapping on the Ohm
stead County Game Refuge.
The state bureau of fisheries last
week began to transfer millions of
sunfish from Great Cloud lake to
Tanners lake, Washington coun-
ty. The fish are in danger Of suf-
location because Of receding wat
ers in Great Cloud lake. About
125,000 sunfish have already been
received.
Christmas Tree Waste Reduced
The usual annual waste of
Christfas trees through indiscrim-
mate cutting was nearly eliminated
as the result Of the Christmas tree
law passed by the 1885 legislature,
according to a statement issued by
Grover M. Comet, director Of for
estry.
Preliminary estimates indicate
that approximately 100000 Christ
mas trees were cut In Minnesota in
1885.

1 believe my hens have roup.
Their eyes are swelled shut and
they have trouble breathing. What
causes this condition and how can
1 relieve It?
Overcrowding and poor ventila-
ton in the henhouse are the most
common causes Of roup, in winter
First relieve the overcrowded con-
dition, either by charging the
house or getting rid of hens until
you have square feet of floor
space per hen for Leghorns, or 4
square feet for heavier breeds
Then see that you have proper ven
tilation to carry off moisture. A
straw loft with open windows pro-
viding cross-ventilation above is
hard to beat. See that the house is
not drafty. Some birds with runny
eyes may be helped by bathing the
eyes frequently with mild solu-
ton of boric acid, or by putting on
each eye a drop or two of 10 per
cent solution of argyrol.-W. A

Specialist.

100000 were exported to other
states and 100000 were used In
Minnesota; 100000 trees were sub
ject to the tax imposed by the
Christmas tree law, while 10000
trees, used by municipalities, were
tax exempt.
The Christmas tree law, passed
by the 1885 Legislature, required
all trees cut or sold in Minnesota
to bear official evergreen tree tags
There were practically no major
violations Of the law and operators
are said to be very much in favor
Of continuing it. Passage Of the law
made it possible for the first time
to gather accurate figures on the
Christmas tree industry in Mime
sofa
An unusually heavy loss Of fish
from suffocation may be expected
this winter, according to DR.. Thad-
deus Surber, state superintendent
of fish propagation.
January thaws, following by
freezing, have made many lakes
air-tight and in some cases have
excluded sunlight, DR.. Surber ex-
planned. This reduces the oxygen
content of lakes to point where
fish-life can no longer be support
ed.
The carp-infested lakes in Cot
tonwood, Martin, jackson, Mobiles
and Rice counties are most severely
affected, Dr.. Surber said.

THE CRISIS OF THE MIDDLE
CLASS-Lewis Corey. The middle
class today is facing the most SER
ious crisis Of its history. This
should be plain to every member
of that class on whom recent
events have borne with increasing
weight.
Mr.. Corey's analysis reveals some
startling facts which run counter
to the usual assumptions. The mid
die class is not homogeneous. It Is
composed of small business men,
renters, professionals, teachers,
clerical employees, supervisory and
managerial functionaries, and
white collar workers Of all des-
criptions. The middle class is at
war within itself: it has no inter-
ests common to the class as a
whole.
What, then, Mr.. Corey asks, shall
the choice be? Shall it throw in its
lot with the fascists, or shall 1t ally
itself with the progressive forces
of civilization in the struggle for
classics society? This book deals
realistically with the crucial prob
lens of the middle class today, on
the basis Of sound evidence, thor
ough analysis, and a broad under
standing of the social-economic
forces involved.

The garden in which the murder

Philo Vance hears the shot, and

cation that follows reveals one of
the most amazing and sensational
crimes of modern times.

SPORTS
OF THE WEEK
(Chuck R1athe)

Blasting their way to victory
Sank Centre tromped over Osakis
20 to Is last Friday evening. Kel-
dahl and Decree took scoring hon.
ors with nine and eight points res
pectively, while Zimmerman tied
with Decree with eight counters.
The locals came out with q handy
margin with nine buckets to five
for Osakis, and II out Of 10 free
throws to out OF Is for the OPP
ponents. It was a hard fought bat
tie with the "ref' getting plenty
Of workout on the whistle with 10
fouls called on each quint. Three
men, Keldahl, Harsh and Fezler,
hit the showers on personal fouls.
The game marked the first
real scoring thrust the locals
have shown. It looks like the
beginning Of an improved quint
Of Harveymen Is near at hand.
The drubbing of Osalxis,
though not an Over-p0werful
adversary, may indicate the
turning point In local luck, and
may help to bolster the decision
of district coaches when they
picked Sank Centre to be one Of
the three tourney contenders
next spring. The Harveymen
went into O sustained drive
during the second half piling
up 20 points, almost as much as
they reaped In an entire game,
In some of their best exhibit
tons.
Tomorrow night, Friday, the To-
Gals meet Long Prairie for the first
time this season ON the local court
The locals have been injected with
the lust to win, and the Prairie
men are new opponents. It looks
like a good battle on tomorrow ev-
ening.
