WILL TRY POISON
GAS ON DOGS
If Successful State Laboratory Will
Turn It Over to U. S. Army.
The state laboratory at New Ha
ven, formerly at Middletown has pro
duced a poison gas which if proved
successful will be turned over to the
Use of the U. S. army and will Be used
on the Germans in trench warfare.
The state laboratory is now in
charge of Prof. C. J. Bartlett as di
rector and the experiments, which will
be of novel character, will be under
his charge.
The gas will be tried on Connec
ticut dogs, whose only homes are
those furnished by dog pounds. The
state is planning to sacrifice the
dogs' lives that there may be fewer
human lives lost.
The new gas if it works out as well
as is anticipated, will be used in gas
bombs. The. dogs, are sent to New
'Haven' alive, and are to be made tar
gets, for gas bombs.' United States
army officers performing the experi
ments . ' ; . '. -. :
Dogs are to . be. put at a certain
distance and gas is released in waves
toward them. The effects on the dogs
is watched, and if the gas is found
to be sufficiently deadly. It will be
adopted for use on the European
front. While it is impossible as yet
to determine the deadly strnegth of
the gas it is said to be stronger than
the chlorine gas . which was used by
the Germans early in the war and it
is expected that it will be a valuable
weapon for trench warfare... '
The matter was taken up with the
commissioner of i domestic animals,
.who has the exclusive right to say
what shall be- done with anitsals
which . are Impounded, and are un
claimed: UsuaJly they are killed with
chloroform. Instead of employing
this -method of disposing of them in
this 'way, it was decided to send them
alive to New Haven for experimentation-
purposes.
nd so, from all over the state dogs
are being sent to the state laboratory
to die for their country. One thous
and dogs were asked for, as it was
thought that this number would be
required to complete the experi
ments satisfactorily. Large number's
have already been sent to the labora
tory and many more are on the way.
The new quarantine on all dogs west
of the Connecticut river went into ef
fect Monday. Dog wardens all over the
state have been ordered to enforce the
law strictly. . and to watch every dog
allowed to go loose, without its owner,
on the end of a leash.
All stray dogs will be seized, and
sent to New Haven, and will be used
at the state laboratory. It is under
stood that each dog which is taken
to the state laboratory wilt be paid
for by the state, so that the city will
not lose anything on the plan.
i "It may seem cruel to dispose of
the dogs In this way," said Domestic
Animals Commissioner James M.
Whittlesey, "but it is better to have
the dogs killed than to have the Yinva
m iTirope Killed unnecessarily."

WRITES OF WAR TIME -
CONDITIONS IN LONDON
Secretary of Norwich Chamber of
Commerce ' Receives Interesting" Let
ter From English Business House
Secretary Herbert R. Branche of the
local Chamber of Commerce nas re
ceived from Frank Chitham. merchan
dlse manager of Self ridge & Co., Ltd.,
Xondon, England, an interesting sur
vey of ' business conditions in that
country brought about through the
world" war. Some weeks ago Mr.
Branche addressed a letter to Sel-
fridge and Company for the purpose
of securing - first hand information as
to conditions in England. Mr. cmt
ham in replying to the request, writes
as follows;
Mr. U. R. Branche, Chamber of Com
merce of Norwich, Connecticut, U.
S. A.
Dear Sir: In reply to your letter
of August 6th. we think, the letter re
cently written by Mr. Selfridjge to
some of his friends in America will
answer- many of the questions which
you have in mind.
We have pleasure In enclosing one
for your perusal and trust you will
find it of interest. ,
Tours faithfully, ' x '
For Selfridge & Co., Ltd., '
FRANK CHITHAM.
The enclosed letter follows:
We have really, during the last two
and three-quarter years gone througn
an interesting experience. I can
hardly think that anything like the
same conditions will 'arise in America,
even though the war is continued long
er than we expect and even tnougn
America gets into -it quite deeply.
Things have taken place, which, before
the war we should have felt were ab
solutely inconsistent with the contin
uation of business, oit at least, with
any possible satisfactory . result to
that business. And yet we have ad
justed ourselves all over the country
to these conditions without serious
consequences and without much com
plaint, for the feeling throughout
Great Britain is absolutely unanimous
in sustaining the country, no matter
what is necessary, in this great war.
To begin with from this business the
first week of the war we lost 150 of
our young men who came to us as
"students" and had learned the bus
iness under our own instruction, to
whom we were looking to fill the man
agerial positions of the house as rap
idly as they might become vacant.
This was a serious loss to our organ
ization and one. which we cannot make
up. Of course most of these young
men will return . when this war is
over, but in the meantime they have
grown three years older and have ndl
during these three years increased
their knowledge., of the . Dry Goods
business. Incidentally I may say that
we have now 900 men with the
Colours and we spend $30,000 or'$40,
000 a year in absentees' salaries,
which means that we are advancing
money to their families so that they
shall not in any way want during the
period of the "bread winners'" ab
sence. This is generally being done
throughout Great Britain.
Another difficulty which came quick
ly was the reduction and final aban
donment of the suburban trains, which
we in London has counted upon being
absolutely essential to the holding of
the business of the suburban cus
tomer. Recently the 'bus service,
which corresponds with the trams In
America, has been very much curtail
ed and only this morning one of my
managers told me that 72 different "bus
routes passing this house had been
taken off. Those reductions also we
have gradually accustomed ourselves
to until we hardly recognize the dif
ference. During the first-few months of the
war our merchandise was not difficult
to obtain, but for the last year or
more this has become, perhaps, the
biggest problem we have to solve. Im
portations have been prohibited by the
government In many departments and
In those which have not been prohibit
ed we. have great difficulty in getting
goods. The manufacturing districts
of Francs in the northeast as you
know, has been in the fighting area
for so long that practically no mer
chandise has bee-n obtainable from this
great source of supply for at least
two years. . When we went to Amer
ica for" merchandise we found the
manufacturers so well supplied with
orders from home that their interests
in foreign business was not keen, and
while some of them treated us with
great courtesy I think, perhaps, more
or less, it was because of my being an
American, still, America has not been
a very good supply center as far as
Great Britain and our kinds of goods
are concerned.
Notwithstanding all of these troubles
most of the Dry Good houses in Eng
land have shown -something of an in
crease in business iand profits during
the last 12 months, and this is because
wages have steadily risen and the em
ployed class have more money today
than they have ever had before in
this part of the world. On the other
hand the moneyed clas have in most
instances had their net "incomes se
riously reduced by taxation, etc., and
this class has not spent anything like
the money that it was accustomed to
spend before the "war.
I think generally business has been
good in all departments of women's
requirements, men's departments have
had a difficult time because 5,000,000
or 6,000,000 of our men are in khalrf
and not requiring men's hats, shirts
and collars, etc. '
Our own increase has been very
much larger than anyone's 'in Eng
land. .We sold two-and-a-half mil
lion dollars,, more than a year ago and
three-hundred-and-seventy-five thous
and dollar more, but I do not attrib
ute that increase to the war in any
way and feel that we would have done
very much better if it had not been
for the war. We really have accomr
plished this interesting result by hard
work and pressing home the ideals of
this business, and I have ventured to
say puDHcly many times, this bus!--ness
is still only just begun."
Certain Items of expense have im
pressed themselves upon us which
heretofore we have hardly considered.
For example, the matter of twine has
become a very serious item. Vve are
spending something like one thousand
five hundred dollars to two . thousand
dollars a month on this one Insignifi
cant thing, while paper, boxes, wrap
ping envelopes, etc., have enormously
Increased oyer pre-war prices. Gaso
line has risen tremendously and is fast
approaching a point when it will hard
ly be obtainable for any purpose ex
cept the use of motors at the front, as
of course here everything suceombs
to the requirements of the army and
navy as It should be and as It must.
If I were doing business in Amer
ica and had acqnired ray experience of
the last two and three-quarter years
I should watch with the atreatest care
these several points; the organiza
tion and my ability to 11 in with wo
men or men above the age of enlist
ment such posts as would necessarily
become vacant. . I should keep my
eye very closely on the market' and if
I discovered any likelihood of short
age in woolen goods, in silk goods,
(especially hosiery) in leather, I should
make my stocks as full as I felt my
business could possibly, warrant, and
with the same watchfulness on the
market I should supply paper and
twine for a long time ahead.
This paper shortage affects one in
many ways and will make itself felt in
America, if the war continues any
thing like as long time, and adver
tising will entirely change its condi
tion. We are now limited to two or
three columns in newspapers in

AUTUMN OPENING DISPLAY OF
Floor Coverings and Draperies
Wednesday Thursday Friday
Each purchase of Foor Coverings or Draperies which you make should be considered an
investment, and the character of your investment should be examined with the same
care that the business man displays in buying his stocks and bonds.
Viewed as an investment our Floor Coverings and Draperies will most certainly pay
good dividends in the way of long service and general satisfaction - and viewed as
dainty home furnishings they will long be sources of delight to you.
We extend a cordial invitation to you to examine our big, new
Stock, and shall count it a pleasure to show you these latest arrival .

Catalogues are prohibited, not be
cause the government is trying to cur
tail trade but because of the great
shortage in paper shortage caused
by the absence of excess tonnage, all
tonnage being used for bringing mu
nitions and food stuffs to this country
tnd to the countries of our allies. I
should also repeat the policy which
we have maintained here, to keep our
business going at high pressure. War
or no war.
In August, 1914, most of the stores
of Great Britain were attacked with a
case of fright and their first thought
was to reduce their expenses. We
went ahead in no way curtailing ours
but "carried on" as usual to our un
doubted advantage, but'all the.time we
Kepi our eyes as careiiiuy as possiuie
on the horizori to discover signals
which should cause us to change our
policy. These difficulties all came,
but gradually, and at no period during
the war have we withdrawn from this
first energetic policy and our house is
as thronged today or more so than
ever before, but as I have said we are
quite an exception to the rule.
