The first meeting of the Manches- 
ter ladies, who will make surgical 
dressings for the Allies this winter, 
was held in the emergency room, 
Beach st., yesterday afternoon. About 
20 ladies gathered and worked en- 
thusiastically, completing 200 dress- 
ings for the first day’s work. The 
dressings will be forwarded to the 
Peter Bent Brigham hospital for 
sterilization before shipping abroad. 
The ladies will meet each Thursday 
afternoon during the winter to con- 
tinue the work carried on this sum- 
mer by the relief committees. 
Allan Brown, the three year old 
son of Mr. and Mrs. Ora Brown of 
Brook st., gave his parents, the police 
and the neighbors an exciting three 
hours’ yesterday afternoon by disap- 
pearing completely from his custom- 
ary haunts. After searching half the 
afternoon for the missing boy he was 
found seated beneath an apple tree in 
the rear of G. E. Willmonton’s home 
on Pleasant st. It did not concern 
him in the least that he was supposed 
to be lost and he was enjoying a feast 
of nice ripe apples.

William Johnson of Bridge st., 
Manchester’s oldest man, is reported 
to be very low. He has been grow- 
ing more feeble daily the past year. 
Mr. Johnson will be too years old if 
he lives until next June. T. B. Stone 
is nursing him. 
An alarm was sounded on the fire 
whistle shortly after 8 o’clock last 
evening, calling the department to the 
barn of Valentine & Leach in the rear 
of 22 Bridge st. Frederick W. Leach 
was engaged in filling the tank of the 
Ford runabout owned by his father, 
Louis Leach, at the tank outside the 
barn when Abraham Lampron passed 
with a lantern. Although the lantern 
was several feet away the gas vapor 
from the tank ignited the gasoline 
and there was an explosion. Neither 
of the men was injured, but the ma- 
chine was wrecked before the flames 
were extinguished by the firemen. 
The auto was not insured. 
Shortly after 5 o’clock Wednesday 
evening Mrs. William Hodgdon of 
Bridge st. went to the shed in the 
rear of her home and discovered the 
entire room in flames. The fire ap- 
paratus was summoned by telephone 
by Waldo H. Peart, and an alarm was 
sounded from Box 41 (Bridge and 
Pine sts). The shed is apart from 
the main part of the house and is 
connected by a short corridor. This 
made it possible for the firemen to 
confine the blaze to the one room. 
Although the flames broke through 
the roof they were soon under con- 
trol. Mr. Hodgdon’s bicycle, which 
was presented to him this summer 
by patrons on his mail route, was 
destroyed, and the refrigerator and a 
baby carriage were consumed. The 
loss amounted to about $50 and was 
covered by insurance. The house is 
owned by William J. Johnson, who 
lives next door. His loss was about 
$200 on the building, which was in- 
sured. The cause of the fire is not 
exactly known. Mrs. Hodgdon had 
used some charcoal to revive the fire 
in the kitchen range a short time pre- 
vious and when through with the fuel 
had placed the bag in the shed. When 
she discovered the blaze it apparantly
