A feature of the exertises in con-nection with the inauguration of President Ogilby at Trinity College yesterday which called forth as much applause from the large audience as any other single thing that took place was the conferring of the honorary degree of doctor of science upon Pro-fessor Henry A. Perkins. It was a graceful way for the trustees of the college, acting for the alumni and the undergraduates, to express their

thanks for the great service Profes-sor Perkins rendered Trinity and to show how much they appreciated his willingness to take up the burdens of the presidency until a successor to Dr. Luther bad been selected.

Most people realize that the presi-dency of any college Is a real labor. One of the speakers at the luncheon following the inauguration quoted former President Taft as saying that, it was, in his opinion, harder to be the president of a college than to be the president of the -United States.

'i To be the acting president of a college. the office so efficiently held by Professor Perkins, embraces all

i the tasks that fall to the president and is in many ways more difficult than it would be If the acting presi-dent could make his plans for years to come instead of being handicap-

ined by not wishing to commit his successor to policies he might sot be entirely in sympathy with.

O IOW

Ineligible for or by reason of any religious tenet. That was a broad statement for 1823, and It shows that the founders of our eollege were indeed men of vision beyond that of their contemporaries.

Nor is there any religious requirement laid upon our student body. It is glorious-ly representative. Forty-three and one-half per cent, of our present undergraduate body are Episcopalians, 18 per cent, Ro-man Catholics, 16% per cent. Congregation-alists a total of 78 per cent, The remain-ing 22 per cent. are divided among eleven religious bodies.

In asserting then that Trinity Is a church college we do so by defining It, not in terms of control or restriction but in teems of loyalty and devotion. A famous college president said -recently. In discussing the cotriparath e strength of regulations and traditions, that If he wished to make something permanent he would much pre-fer the power of tradition to that of regu-lation. Regulations may be changed- by governing bodies in one -way or another, but traditions are deathless. We are re-Minded here of Borke's phrase in his speech on conciliation with America, "Ties which !bough tight as air are as strong as links of iron." We ask then to 1.e known by our fruits, We ask that Trinity he known as a church college because of its service to Christianity.

Tits question of religious education coins! In here, If we are agreed that the interests • or education, &especially at , the collegiate age, are hest furthered when there is no segregation along denomination-

ception of a loayl Christian stalwart in his faith. Some may react from that in va-rious directions, Ad, however, seem to re-spect it. Along such lines as these Trinity is a church college.

be given of the purpose of a college is to

On the other hand shall we make entrance to college the test of mental fitness and by difficult entrance examinations establish a system which will work out so that when once a young man Is in college ordinary diligence will keep him there? It is safe to say that the tendency of the colleges in the last few college generations .haw been to make the entrance requirements Plied difficult.

PRESIDENT -I; LSO IN .vT:FIANKSCr ViNG ROCLAMATION

Washington, Nov. 1 President Wilson issued his Thanksgiving proclamation to-night saying that -` ' in plenty, security and peace, our virtuous and self-reliant people face the future," and setting aside Thursday, November 25, for the usual observances. The text follows:—

"The seasnn apprbaches when it, behooves us to turn from the distractions and preoccupations of our daily life, that we may contemplate the mercies which have been vouchsafed to us and render heartfelt and unfeigned thanks unto God for his manifold goodness.

"This is an old observance of the American people, deeply imbedded in our thought and habit. The burdens and the stresses of life have their own insistence,

"We have abundant cause for thanksgiving. The lesions of the war are rapidly healing. The great army of free men, which America sent to the defense of liberty, returning to the grateful embrace of the nation, has resumed the useful pursuits of peace, as simply and as promptly as it rushed to arms in obedience to the country's call. The equal justice of our laws has received steady vindication in the support of a law-atiding people against various and sinister attacks, which have reflected only the baser agitations of war, now happily passing.

"In plenty, security and peace, our virtuous and self-reliant people face the future, its duties and its opportunity, May we have vision to discern our duties; the strength, both, of hand and resolve, to discharge them; and then soundness of heart to realize that the truest opportunities are those of service.

From time immemorial the people of the commonwealth Massachusetts, acting through their magistrates after the gathe of the bounties of the yearly harvest, out of recognition of their dependence on Divine Providence, have set apart a day of thanks-giving and praise. During all these generations there has been no time when the misfortune with which the people have had to contend has not been surpassed by an abundance of blessings. Out of savagery has come civilization. Out of war has come peace. Out of adversity has come prosperity. The progress of the years has brought great obligations, but with them great resources and an inspired people. It is a time to give thanks for our duties which there is a power to meet and for our hopes which have been fulfilled. Our government stands secure in the support of the people, our economic condition is sound, the opportunity for education is open to all, the religious convictions of the people have been broadened and deepened.

Now, therefore, in consideration of these worthy accomplish-silents and most hopeful prospects, I, Calvin Coolidge, governor of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, in accordance with the law of the land and by authority of the honorable council do set apart and declare Thursday November twenty-fifth, as a day of thanks-giving and praise "to the giver of every good and perfect gift,"

Given at the executive chamber, in Boston, this eleventh day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hun-dred and twenty and of the independence of the United State' of America the one hundred and forty-fifth.

Years may have brought us fruitless toil, Full many a song have died unsung:

Still echoes on through they domain Eternity's wide hymn of praise;

The grape grows sweet, and round, and red,

Love brims the chalice of our days.

Help us to find the maiestlis That through the varying ages run;

Our empty errors fill with light, 0 Thou of attributes divine :

Perfect the Golden age of Now, While ever redder grows the wine.°

Old Orchard Home, Concord, Mass.„ where Louisa hi. Alcott wrote "Little Women" in 1867.

THE Socony sign of supreme mo-toring service is a common sight in

rural Vermont and from Old Town, Maine to Chautauqua County, New York. Automobile tourists have come to de-pend upon it. They have found it in out-of-the-way places—on many trips it was "a friend in need". And many large gasoline users in the cities know what Socony service means—they too have come to depend upon it. The uniform qualities of Socony gasoline have made it the logical fuel for every motor transportation requirement. Socony isn't merely one of many gasolines. It represents fifty years of refining experience, and is made by the most improved methods known to the industry. It is truly the standard of quality gasoline. Socony gasoline, with the proper car-buretor adjustment, insures quick starting, clean combustion, low car-bonization and full mileage from every gallon. Regular Socony users enjoy these advantages every day the year round, for Socony service enables them to fill up everywhere.

STIM, another example of Samuel P. Avery's of Woodland street wide

iiterest in the world of art is shown in the collection of some forty-five etchings by Charles Emile Jacque, which he has given to the Wadsworth Atheneum, and which have been placed in four large desk caries in the Lecture Room, in the rear of the first floor of he Morgan Memorial. I Charles Jacque, to whom is given he credit "of restoring etching, in the any '40s, to its proper and legitimate

le' lace as a suggestive and linear art,"

. 'as born in Paris in 1813 and died Jett in 1894. He etched between 500 nd 600 plates in his long life. Most

i

Them are of small size, but with all ie spaciousness of the out-of-doors

..so 1ften lacking in others many times ..e.er, He was Fret only tke father ' the•nineteenth century revival of tchIng in France. but his work in-

fluenced that of other artists, notably Seymour Haden and Whistler in Eng-land.

When seventeen years of age Jacqire made his first attempt at engraving while in the employ of a map en-

OW. graver. This was the copy of a aoman's head by Rembrandt, a print , of which is in the splendid collection of Jacque's etchings presented to the New York Public ''Litirary by Mr. Avery's father. Jacque also studied and analyzed the works of Van Ostade, Hobbema. du Jardin and Ribera, and their influence may he traced in sev-eral of the prints exhibited at the Memorial.

After a seven years' apprenticeship, he entered the Fifty-secopd Regiment

i ;r Infantry of the Line and took part in the siege of Antwerp. Released 'Tom Military duty, be composed

"Militariana and the History of de la Ramee," with caricatures of a soldier's life; later he went to England, where he remained two years. During that time he worked on "Picturesque Greece"; made plates for a new edi-tion of Shakespeare; and composed a "Dance of Death."

Hack In Parts. In 1837 he was back again in Paris

where he made his headquarters, and from it took frequent trips to Fon-tainebleau. and to Bourgogne where his family had lived for some years, and where he first studied those scenes from French country life which he has made so real in his etchings. He did but few plates of the city,—one of these "Windmills of Montmartre," is in the exhibition. His earlier plates are usually small, easily carried in the pocket, and some even require a mag-nifying glass in order to appreciate their delicate detail. But he occa-sionally did a larger one with strong biild strokes, such as that of "Cows Drinking 'at a Stream." is the Avery gift, and "La Bergerie" 1895, almost twice the size of the former and con-sidered one of his masterpieces be-cause of the individual study of sheep at various ages.

From 1837-/813 was the period of Jacques illustrative work, when he made plates for ''Paul and Virginia," the "Songs of Beranger, the "Senti-mental Journey" by Sterne. and others. But in 1841 and no he began seriously to produce those etchings and dry points which were to make his reputation. He exhibited them in the Salon from 1848-1867 and was awarded third claws medals in 1851. 1861 and 1863. He excelled elan in painting,tarsnyard scenes and had an

accurate knowledge of animals. ttheev:- Varticularty, and poultry of which h was a fancier. For his paintings li was medalled in 1861, 1863 and 184; and then for twenty-two years, anti 1889, be withheld his works from IS Salon. That year his genius was at.. last recognized, and he received the Grand Prize for his superb etching "La Bergerie Bearnaise." 14 5-8 inches by e 17 7-8 inches; and a gold medal far his painting.

-erteill, and five small paintings of -eultry, all now hanging in the gal-. ries.

F910011.11 for Peormitt Lite Scenes.. But although his paintings are ad-

, irable, his real reputation rests on etching of French peasant life,

rrn scenes, which are full of the .aenfelness of the country and of the ■althy odor of new mown hay. One

:eget his specialties „la his masterly presentation of pigs in every posi-

ln which has earned him the title of ie Raphael of the pigs," His "Truffle

• 4/1

itherers" is considered to be one of ese. It represents a drove of hogs nting, for truffles at the base of a v. hill. Dare trees, a cloudy sky and

the herdsman complete the compoel-tion.• Besides this print alie . Avery's collection includes a dozen other prints showing lean pigs feeding on almost barren ground or being driven home; fat pigs eating from troughs in the farm yard and testing comfortably afterwards; or pigs tended by a peas-ant man or woman with a heavy stick which he uses to hurry their lagging steps.

One of Jaceue's critics objects to the fig/zres In his early work as being too pretty and graceful for French peasants. This is well illustrated in a print on ecru paper showing a girl feeding hogs by the open door of a arty, Contrast this with the woman following two animals just entering the open door of a shed. She recalls the peasants of Millet "deformed by work-and fatigue, but almost heroic in their rudeness and solemnity and always in harruchy with their sur-roundings."

From 1642-1348 Jacque produced over 300 subjects most of them signed and many dated. Mr. Avery's are largely of this period and in the first or second states. A number of these early works are unobtainable and others are rare, like The Rider" of which but twenty copies exist. In 8,

landscape dimly showing a fence and trees in the distance against a streak of light along. the horizon, a horse-man is slowly proceeding guided by the rays of a lantern carried by a servant at his side, One sees in this, and two or three other earlier figure subjects showing. effects of light. and deep shadeve, the influence of Rem-brandt whose work he studied as a youth.

In 1864 and 1365 Jacque took up his etching again in earnest and pro-duced seventy-five plates, "A. 'Rus-tic Home" is one of these with its carefully tied bundles of wood piled convenient to the house door. Among :tie miscellaneous prints shown, should be mentioned a charming girl drawing water at a well; the portrait of en old peasant wearing a broad brimmed hat; the "Melon Seller"; ''The Cavalier." at the inn door; "Pee ty in

the :Wood." a. small poetic composi-tion including the nude figure of a woman; a deer attacked by a hound, after nary°. done in a broad manner and among the largest of his prints; and two interiors wiclejy contrasting in treatment, one—"The Card Play-ere,- two peasants seated at a table in a dim low-ceilinged room, etched with sharp contrasts of light and shade: the other -The Messing. showing a peasant mother end chit seated before s. rough table on whic Is a jug and a flat loaf of bread. Th fewest possible lines are used i this composition and it well thus traces one of Jacque's peculiaritie _hat of getting his effects with littl effort by reserving broad whit spaces on the plate, which are ren- dered more luminous by the surround ine. biting, even when in shadow.

Some critics consider hie early work not quite so attractive as that of a later period, being less worked, over and more unconventional—but for that very reason more appealing' to many people.

Poetry- Olt Lnndseepe. He is distinguished above his con-r"

temporary etchers by the poetry-which fills his Iandecapes, anci the_ charm of his farm life, tavern scenes and peasants. He represents and in-- eludes in his little prints all that is best of the modern school of land-scapists and intimate painter, fromf Decamps to Mliet, and from Dupred

to Rousseau and Daubigny. Jae.eue and Millet met about 1318 when Millet f was working after the manner of Faucher and Watteau. a is thought-by some that Jacques devotion toe iustic .scenes may hare determined Millet to follow his example. At any a rate it was not long after their ac-n qua intanee began, that, an one or their excursions to Fontainebleau, it

tell him the number he thought of. it is really very easy. All that you

have to do is to ad& one to the re-mainder he announces and divide the result by two. This will give you the number thought of.

For example, your friend thinks of six. Multiplying six by six he gets thirty-six. This he writes on a slip of paper. He next subtracts one from six. The remainder, five, he multi-plies by itself getting twenty-five. He next subtracts twenty-five from thir-ty-six and gets eleven.

When he announces eleven you add one to it. This gives you twelve. Di-viding twelve by two (of course you do all of this In your head) you get Fix and that, you may be sure, is the number thought of.

EbNG SERVICE IN ' THOMPSONVILLE

Rev Thomas J. Preston Has Been Pastor of St Patrick's Parish Nearly 25 Years Thompsonvilie, Dec. 4—The peo-

ple of St Patrick's parish have /ongC been looking forward to*the date, De-lf camber 7, whidh will mark the 25tht anniversary{ of the coming to this vii- aes, cage of Bei' Thomas J. Preston, the beloved pastor of St Patrick's church. Since the establishment of St Patrick's's' Parish, nearly 75 years ago, no other' pastor has served so long and no other denomination in the village haft had its spiritual guidance looked I

after for so many years by any one of the several pastors who have been in charge, with the exception of Rev 1-.1 Russ Judd who came'to the viii del shortly after the arrival of Father' Preston to accept the pastorate of St Andrew's Episcopal church, which he held up to. about a year ago.

Many of the older members of S Patrick's parish recall the day tha Father Preston came to the village, young, robust man, full of ener and ambition, ta undertake the work, of carrying to completion the Ares- eat handsome church edifice. St Patrick's parish was indeed fortunat in securing Father Preston at a time when it required a man of his cour-age and ability to undertake the great task that confronted the parish, a quarter of a century ago.

The work of constructing the new brown stone church was well under way, but it remained for him to com-plete .the entire interior and to de vise plans to meet the enormous debt, estimated at that time to have been in excess of $200,000. During the early period of his pastorate the in-dustrial conditions in the village aver auhlect. 3 to frequent depressions which made his efforts extremely chf feint. He set about his task an success has crowned his efforts.

In addition to his managerial abil-az ity In reducing this debt he has beer), able to improve and maintain ar other property connected, including St Joseph's parochial school, the con-vent of the Sisters of Mercy, St Jo-, senh'a loin and the parish rectory. A' few weeks ago, a slaggestion Wit made by one of the parishioners that a.. drive be inaugurated to raise $15,-. 000 to pay off the balance of the debt, and burn the last remaining mortgage note on the property on the occasion of Father Preston's 25th anniversary as pastor of tho church. The sugges-tion mat with the heartiest- approval by the parish and in less than a weeks • over $20,000 was secured. The re-, sponse was spontaneous and it re-. qulred no exhortation on the part of the chairman of the drive, Rev Will- iam F. O'Brien, assistant pastor. r •Pather Preston is a native of Con- , necticut. He was born in New Haven,' -Nov. 4, 1850. He received his early'-a edueation in the public schools of his, native city and attended Peter Smith's classical school in New Haven. After' graduation he entered Holy Cross col-age where he remained two years, A Similar period was spent in Niagara university. He rounded out his edu-cation for the priesthood by taking a

Word to this effect comes to him old-time classmate, Captain Clarence H. Wickham, who was a guest of his in the distinguished official's home in Shanghai last January' and February. Captain Wickham spent a part of that month in that port and in Tien Tsin and Pekin, calling on Chinese leaders of wide influence who were in the high school classes of 1.878, atld 1879.

He tola that he was to confer with anthori-ties at Pekin the next,da.y and in his letter made reference to the auto-graphed photograph of President Fielding which Captain'Wickham had secured. Also he told of the hope in China that the President might at- tach "that mighty signature to some' magic message 'to the world to keep hands off China's soil."

He also wrote that 'he would bring a ;phatograph of, the tomb of Kai Kali, a Jassmate of himself and Can-ta#in Wickham wh3 had died in Yoko-, harna and was buried in China. He engaged to bring a--transcript of the biographic tablet with a translation.

Hellenic jealousy before the war wrought much havoc around the queen. "She loves her own country passionately." Unforgiveabie crime! "She always goes to Russia alone. She is on Indifterent terms with her daughter-in-law. the Crown Princess, born sister of Germany's Kaiser:" The then Crown Prince Con-stantine, Duke of Sparta, differed In every possible and Impossible question from his mother! She, Queen Olga, desired to have the Gospels translated into modern Greek, instead of letting them he handed to the people in ancient Greek, incomprehensible, of course, ,to any but the most learned. For, unlike her husband, who remained a Lutheran untli his death, she 'belonged to the same c•reect as that of the Greek na-tion, which from the first established a bond of sympathy between the two, and then, too, she devoted her life to good works. Eager to do, well -whatever she undertook Queen Olga studied medicine and surgery, which enabled her during the war between Greece and Turkey to attend the wounded and the sick with her own hands and in the most skilful manner. She has always and at every hour of her life done her uttermost to accom-plish tenfold more than her duty. She has shielded, protected, excused, for-given, helped and succored every one.' who crossed her road ofimercy and self-forgetfulness. She never was consultei by her husband or her eons and was surrounded with people thoroughly un-congenial to her , excepting one charm-ing daughter-in-law, her imperial. high-ness Grand Duchess Helene-Vladimirev-na, wife of her son, Nicholas. Alone she has suffered, alone she pursued her course, eseine eo pity, no sympathy and no mercy, and, what is more difficult yet. bearing injustice and unrequittal with-out a murmur. As Queen of Greece she was a notedly handsome woman, the most queenly queen in Europe. Straight and tail as a lance, her shapely head crowned by a mass of hair as flee as silk, which she drew away [corn her forehead and coiled in heavy Braids with that extreme simplicity which characterized her every action, she pos-sessed a forceful charm not often to be met with. Her figure, broad shouldered and slender waisted, was perfect, and her mag-nificent, deep-set eyes had only one fault—that of being too sad. blor were they so causelessiy, for tier life 'Was not a happy one, and as time went on sorrows were, added to sorrows across the path of the brave woman who should have found noth- ing but joys there.

This system is generally used in pro-gressive banks.

Twenty Years In Office. - In connection with the issuance of the annual report of the comptroller it is fitting- to announce that Deputy State Comptroller F. Clarence Bissell observed the twentieth anniversary of his appointment to his noeition•on Monday. He was appointed to his position by Comptroller Benjamin P, Mead, to succeed E. W. Moore.

He hes served under eight comp-trollers as follows:,Mead. Grant, Chamberlain, Seeley, Mitchell, Brad-street. Dunn and Webster. The long-. est to hold office was Bradstreet, who served for six years. Mr. Dunn was a democrat. Bradstreet's and Dunn's have long been rivals in the business world, it may be noted. All of the other comptrollers mentioned, with the exception of the present incum-befit, served one term each. Mr., Web-: ster is in his second term.

With no disrespe:it to his successive superiors, it is safe to say that Mr. Bissell has.become the important factor in :hat importaift office. "Danny" Dunn, longtitn-., and until the recent earthquake, deMo-Cratic mayor of Willimaatio, is not known through the state as a radi-al non-partisan. It would be granted by his friends that he has partial-ity for democrats and has listened to the wicked theory that the spoils belong to the victors, espechilly dem-ocrats. But even Dunn kept W.SeIL at his work. The mart'p. career re-flects high- credit on him. Ile knows his business. He is honest, capable and watchful. We congratulate him on the anniversary, for he began work January 1, and has attained li!s majority in service. incidentally, Mr. Bissell is one of the arguments against ultra "civil service" notions beneath the gilded but unlighted dothe. He has stood against the as-saults of personal friendship on one hand and political opponents en the other. The law that has kept him, in place has been his own character and usefulness.

In the report submitted to Mayor `Teuton C. Brainard by Fire Chief John .C. Moroi, Wednesday. It is pointed out that ihe 1-,v sections of the building had eviCso.ly ',eon occupied before they were corr.s'r .. '. vie report also dwells on the rabidity with which the fire spread becams.. of the presence of the refuse chutes. c^ is: rutted of soft pine. The report follow:. id part:

This building is shaoed like the let-ter "H"; the new sections recently oc-cupied run north from the connecting cross section. The southwest section has no shafts in it: the southeast sec-tion has five metal-lined dumb les pee shafts that dre closed at the top of shaft under the roof. !isle .......ss ! tion and the two sections running north have ten, shafts open to the roof and all lined with wood and with wood doors on each floor and in the cellar. 'These shafts are a distinct fire menace. and &maid even a small amount of rubbish at the bottom become ignited, will carry fire throughout the building rapidly.

Fore fire protection there are two four-Inch standpipes erected. one at each end of the connecting wing to the east anti west sections, but these were not in . .omission before- the fire, the valves •.• d hose connections not being connect, d to the standpipes. There are no fire extinguishers about the build-ing.

The owner. Mr. Carabillo. Informed I one that work on the building had not been completed ; that they were to have been metal lined and that he received the standpipe fittings only a day or two before the fire. He also told me

Had $500,000 Policy on Property.

A year ago today one of the most 'The Niagara Fire Ins. Co. carried policies for $500,000 on the building.

For more than a half an hour the result of the fire was in doubt Only one wing was damaged by the flames but it appeared for a considemble period that the fire could not he pre-vented from spreading to the three other wings in the large H shaves building. All apartments in the dam-

aged wing were soaked by the tone of water poured In and much damage was done to furnishings in the apart• ments, a large percentage of wit were insured.. The first estimate`' damage to the building were :11 would total more than $150,000, the actual cost of refinishing considerably below that mark.

Incidentally. If the fire had place a day later it probably have not resulted seriously, for n installed stand pipes and fire ilghtin apparatus were to have been connect-

ed and put in commission nearly $1,600,000, would be de-stroyed. after the fire.

oiticitusy a‘ leSS Mari $60,000." This is the figure to be submitted to Building Inspector Frederick W. Barrett. in con-nection with the investigation. ordered by Mayor Newton C. Brainard as to the construction of apartment houses here with a view to making certain re-strictions in the city building code.

The fire loss had been placed as high as $200,000 the morning following the lire, though the figura was reduced to $80,000 in the afternoon.

It was pointed out to-day that the chief damage was es.ne in the top floor, that the firemen succeeded in confining he blaze, to that section of tee north-ast wing of the building, that the dam-ge to the lower floors was caused by ater that was poured into fee struc-

Ore and that a great deal had been alvaged. Fred S. Bliss was appraiser or the Insurance companies, and Ed-.ard J. Miskill was appraiser for Nisolo arahillo, the owner of the .0artments.

MORAN REPORTS JEWELL COURT FIRE

spectacular fires in the history of Hartford took place, one which threatened to become one of the most serious in New ltngland, during re-

cent years. The scene was the Jewell Court apartments on Farming-ton avenue, since renamed the Hotel St. Nicholas, one of the largest apart-ment buildings in the East. Between thirty-five and forty families were made homeless.

The fire started early in the eve-ning and spread rapidly owing to rubbish chutes which extended through the building. In a few min-utes the upper floors on one of the rear sections were a mass of flames, the fire being visible many miles away. Trouble was experienced in laying the hose lines and for a time it appeared that the entire 120 apart-ment structure erected at a cost of

HARTFORD SKYSCRAPER FORMALLY OPENS TODAY

AUGUST 1, 1921. 1 New American Industrial'

Building Will Have Chris-I tian Science Church and j Continental Bag Corn-pany

Among New

Tenants.

BRADSTREET COMPANY ON TOPMOST FLOOR

I The new American Industrial Build-ing, the most impressive addition to 1 Hartford office structures, will open today with a number of prominent lo-cal firms among the tenants. It ranks as among the laigest of New Eng-1 land's office buildings, is splendidly , equipped and its addition to Hart-ford's present supply of office build- ings will do much to relieve the ' gestion of the last few years, so far , as centrally located office space is / concerned smsla

Until late last evening a large forte was at work putting the building in shape for its formal opening, and it is now entirely ready for today, with the rapid express elevators filrea./ in service. In addition to three power-ful passenger elevators, the building is equipped with a specially designed freight elevator.

As has already been announced, the Bradstreet Company and the Mantel.- nach Company will be among the ten-ants, occupying large quarters, and the Connecticut offices of the U. S. Inter-nal. Revenue department will probably also be located in the new building. In addition, the names of a number of other firms to be tenants were given out yesterday.

i Among the tenants on the second floor are the LaBelle Exclusive Milli-nery Shop. Among the fourth floor tenants are the Bradstreet Company.

•/: which is moving from the National Fire building, and M. Abramson, tailor, now in the Hills Block.' On the filth floor, John M. Brady, real estate

' broker, for many years in U. Hills flock, will be located. Elizabeth M. Purtell, with a ladies' wear shop, will be another tenant of that floor.

On the sixth floor will be the offices . of H. W. Dubiske & Co., investment 'hankers;- Trebbe & Berman. real es-I tate and insurance: Herbert F. Fisher, well known insurance and real estate man, who is also agent for the -build-ing, and the F. W. Wheelock hair dressing parlors. On the seventh floor will be Dr. H. A. Dryhurst, dentist; and the E. -M. Grundshaw and C. S.

(Jensen, hair dressing parlor. c On the ninth floor the Second //Church of Christ Scientists will

t

main- tain offices and a reading room, for- merly located in the old Park Church. On the eleventh floor Mary K. Stevens will open a sandwich-shop, and on the fifteenth floor the Manternach Com-pany will have its new quarters. The local offices of the Continental Paper & Bag Mills will be another tenant of the new building.

The large American flag on top of . the building has already been un-

furled in honor of the opening.

th Mary Garden 1. It may be hoped that the appoint-

ment of Mary Garden as director of the Chicago opera may restore peace, yet in her first statement to

c the public she holds up the sword. as well as the olive branch. "I am 'a fighter," she admits; "I am an 'Anglo-Saxon and love nothing bet-'ter than a fight. I am right there 'in the fray, but the Latins would be 'treated with kindness and I would 'pat their cheeks." This last is a detail which even the artistic tem-perament does not ignore; no opera company can run on temperament alone. But the patting of the cheeks also matters, and on this point the new impresaria comes out with an important statement of poliey. For a star like Galli-Curci, Tits Ruff° and others named, "I would have 'no discussion as to the fee, as artists 'who draw are cheapest in the long 'run."

This system of distributing the r wage fund may ,explain why she

finds it unnecessary to ask for a sal-ary as manager, her fees as prima donna sufficiently covering the case. Aside from the stars she would"fill in with good people, but I would

Every young American for generations past has regarded December as a month which has two days marked in glowing colog, the 25th and the 21st.

The 21st of December in the minds of the Americans of every racial stock stands forth as one of the beacon lighted days of tte world's history, as one of the days in which the torch of liberty was taken up and planted firmly in this new

;world never again to be extinguished, even if it seemed at first but a weak and flickering light set-up in limitless wilderness.

The pioneers from the Mayflower have been looked upon by every rising generation of Americans as the real foundation layers of this great republic. And rightly so. 0.

it may be true that a long stretch of time, one hundred and 1 i fifty years lay between the beginning of that settlement in Plymouth and the beginnings of the Revolutionary war in this country but the Pilgrims really brought ashore with them from the cabin of the Mayflower, the seeds of that - Revolution and the seed of that great republic whose birthday was simultan- eous with that of the Revolution.

MONDAY, DEC. 27, 1920 TWENTY -FIVE YEARS OF WONDER'

It is recalled that twenty-five years ago there were only four automobiles in the United States. Buggy riding was still a popular sport among young people, and e dorly women shuddered at the danger of being ,crushed under horses' hoofs at the street crossitgs. But it was the dawn of an era of wonders of which the auto-mobile was one.

There was beginning to be much talk of the possibility that man might Wive the secret of the birds and learn to fly, but sera -

WEDNESDAY, DEC. 29, 1920 AN ELDER STATE8HAN7

When the venerable representative from the eighteenth Illinois district, Hon. Joseph'. G. Cannon, entered the national House of Representatives in 1872, the country wasi!. but a little further removed from a great war, in which its very bases had been well,' nigh aliaken from under it, than it is now removed from a world war which haat, menaced the foundations of human society everywhere. In that year, Mr. Cannon,: with other representatives of the prosper-' - ous regions of the North. found himself facing the problem of shaking the country down to normal conditions. By the time

.

he had seated himself and looked around. el he panic of 1573 was upon the country, .

Grant, the war's hero, was President—and he made himself the hero of peace as well by vetoing a great measure of inflation—a eissue of legal tender notes of a.26,000,000

and a permanent increase of the circulation by a400,000,000--which Congress had passed. Whether or not young Representative Can-non had voted for the measure of infla-tion we do not remember, but if he did, the lesson that Grant had administered ED the country was taken to heart by him. and his influence afterward was on :he whole on the side of .a safe and sound financial policy. He shared In the applica-tion of the policy of resumption of specie payments which became a settled feature of the purposes of the -Republican party.

The new representative participated in the throes of the attempted "reconstruc-tion" of the Southern States. One of the first measures capon which he, was called to vote was an attempt to secure, by means of an act of Congress, the equal privileges of per-sons of color in hotels, public conveyances, theatres and other places—a. bill whiclir Supreme Court threw out as beyond th powers of Congress. This episode also had: , its part in the education of the young statesman. Then came the long straggle, vain in the end, to preserve intact the aria- lieges supposed to be secured to black men by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend-ments—also an abortive attempt as refer!: to the Southern States. The "reconstruc- tion" In which Mr. Cannon, with other hopeful Republicans. had embarked, he saw gradually wrecked, But meanwhile he was witnessing the rapid econoititic social reconstruction of the country"- Re, had the dubious honor of combating the, conservative financial policy of President Cleveland. He early became a' member of the Committee on Appropriations, and ere( long he was the chairman of that commit-' tee, which made him a part of the organ-ized influence .of the country. In that po-sition, he parttelpated In the hearty con-gressional support of McKinley, helping to

priationa• Committee he kept firm the Rm-; dationa of the war against Spain and the; attending expansion of the United States into is world-empire. Between 1872 and 11101), Mr. Cannon had witnealled such a development of the wealth and importance of hie native land as he himself had never dreamed of when he timidly answered the Arta rot' call In 1872. All of it he had seen;

I a part of it he ttad been. Although a member of the House from

the age of thirty-six, Mr. Cannon did not become Speaker until 1903, when he bad reached the age of fifty-seven. By this time he was recognized as one of the

,controlling elder statesmen of the American Republic. As such, his advice was often a d.

.. l astened to and, heeded by Roosevelt, who r; nev ertheless had the faculty of doing Sc. '''- he 'pleased without alienating the elder statesman'a support; and' his counsel was heeded, perhaps too Implicitly, by Mr. • Roosevelt's successor, to his own political • undoing. Sometimes, it must be owned, Mr. Cannon was a politician first and a i statesman afterward. He always had

'; something of the viewpoint, as he also a had the culture and nothing mere, of his

little town of Danville in Illinois. But he has nevertheless made an honorable raoord

Mr. Cannon has been elected to the House twenty-three times, with, two defeats, span-ning the string of Congresses from the 435 to the 00th. The Senate has been beyond

• his reach—which -possibly is Danville's A fault. He has therefore not attained the

1,1 highest rank in our politics, but he has been a useful and an intelligent as well as a

of Chief Farrell's outfit, but a copper of unusual and marked ability. In-stead of a peace officer in one of the quietest cities in New England. one

i after his tour of duty satisfied that no

i stores had been broken into or no houses entered with the feeling, "An-other day, another dollar."

Instead, he has always been on the alert for something which was not in the line of his duty technically, but 1 which he could care for In the in-t gists of the public peace. That is o of the reasons why his name has he n displayed in the headlines of ratttous local newspapers in many sen-sat iNnai and thrilling stories.

It might be well to cite, tlret, the ease which brought Policeman Sheren

resulted in Friable & Co. losing heav-ily on the accounts of margin traders, t and the depreciation In the value of collateral were largely responsible, for fording the company to suspend. The firm had also found difficulty i obtaining loans.

The suspension of the company` comes after a period during which there has been a continued decline of security values, both of those listed on the New York Exchange and in unlisted issues as well. Frisbie & Company men carrying as collateral many stocks for which there is a comparatively inactive market, which. were practically unsalable in view of; the present financial situation, de-spite the fact that many of the shares were those of companies in a prosper-ous condition. Moreover the broker-age firm was carrying as collateral a considerable volume of securities which are not well known and on which It is difficult to obtain loans.

Recently New York banking houses and loan brokers have been requiring that brokers maintain a margin of 25 to 30 per cent. on stocks carried, as comparing with a margin of 20 per cent. or less at times when the mar-ket is in a less uncertain condition. Friable & Co., was also carrying an unusually large volume of several Hartford stocks which have declined very materially from the level of some months ago.

The Old State House, restored within and without to that chaste beauty that made it one of the finest specimens of Colonial architecture in the country, was yesterday thrown open to the public. To say that there was a unanimous demand on the part of the people of Hartford that the building be thus restored would not be an exact statement of the facts for not a few of our citizens opposed the project, But now that the work has been done we think that all of us have a right to feel proud of the building, old, beautiful,

A br,inae. tablet was received yes-terday bfthe superintendent of public buildings and will he placed in the room of the Old Statehouse which will be used by the mayor as a retirin room and committee room when th-

in the restore building again. Th• hoard of alder en hold their rneetine -

, tablet is insc bed a. follows:— "This room; formerly occupied b

es y

the secretary of the state, was _r-tored by the Ruth Wyllys Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolu-tion. Hartford, Connecticut, 1920,"

The Ruth Wyllys Chapter has nam-ed Miss Florence Crofut, chairman of the chapter's committee on the state house restoration, to serve on an ad-visory committee in arranging for furnishings for the state house, and Mrs. Morgan G. Bulkeley has accepted_ appointment as a member of the corn-' mittee. The Municipal Art Society and the Colonial Dames have also been asked to select one member each.

To Meet In Old State House. Mayor Brainard read a message re-

ating to the restoration of the old tate house and suggesting that the eetings of the board of aldermen be eld in it. In the discussion which &lowed the mayor remarked that in 'der times meetings of the court of

common council were held in a tavern. The sentiment of the aldermen was that, the first meeting in the renovate L building should be held early In Ja uary when the work of renovation wa completed. The city clerk was d rected to ascertain the date at whit the meeting could be held and th mayor will then issue a call for th meeting.

"As the work of restoring the 01 state house is now nearing completio this seems to be a proper time to a gest to your board the advisability o returning to that building for you meetings. There are several reason why such action seems appropriate.

"First—The court of common comic at present has no legislative chambe of its own, occupying the city cou chamber by suffrance. When the Mun cipal building was planned, the cou of common council was composed two (2) bodies, and it was planne that they would continue to occup their former chambers.

"In the old state house which pr ceded this building, was held the fir. meeting of the court of common con cii In 1784, and in the old state hou itself the meetings were held from i opening in 1796 until the city hall o Market street was built in 1829, an again from 1879 to 1915. when it w known as the city hall. The old sta house has been rebuilt and restored large expense by the generous contr 'butions of our citizens, and this woul be a most suitable use ler one of t legislative chambers.

"As to the practical objections, I c see none. It is even more convenie than the present location, and the p pers of the board can be brought the as well as to the room which the now occupy.

"I would suggest that in order properly consider this matter yot board, either as a whole or by a co mittee, inspect the room formerly o cupied by the house of representative so that you may properly apprecia the beautiful quarters available, whi are considered by good authorities to among the handsomest specimens Colonial architecture preserved In th country."

11111 PROPOSE BRONZE TABLET

FOR OLD STATE HOUSE

Public Buildings Commission Considers .-Sketches and Plans.

At a meeting of the public buildings commission this noon a sketch was sub. mated by Arthur Perkins for a pro. posed bronze tablet to be placed in the corridor of the old state house. The tablet, if accepted, is to contain refer-ences to the Important historic events which took place In that structure and is to be dedicated to those who helped to rejuvenate the building, a movement in which the late Morgan G. 13ulkeler took a leading part.

Arthur Fifoot, secretary of the Hart-ford Automobile club, proposed to the commission that a zero stone be placed at some point near the old state house from which all distances from Hartford are to be calculated. The club will as-sume the expense. The commission is to give fuller consideration to these matters later, as only two members or the four were present,

It is early to be selecting next year's candidates for political offices, but the republican legislators from Middlesex and Windham counties Who cheered Lieutenant Governor

• Bingham as "our next governor" presumably were not far off the track of the republican program. The state machine is understood to regard Colonel Bingham as persona grata and there is reason to suppose that he nurses an ambition to move from the third to the second floor in the capitol. True there are others 'who are ambitious, like Senator Trumbull of Plainville, but the lieu-tenant governor has as good a chance ao?y of them. What, how-ever, will h,e do for an icsue? He already has worked the little red schoolhouse about as much as it 11111 stand.

THE BULFINCH TEN.

They were by actual count thirty-11. e, but in :spirit only one. Who were—are—the Bulfinch Ten? The title will stir memories but in *many cases only sluggishly. Al-though they helped preserve and re-store the old State House no bronze tablet there perpetuates their

First and foremost of the Bul-finch Ten was Morgan G. Bulkeley. He had viewed with great concern, at the city election in April, 1917, the defeat by the people of Hartford of an appropriation of $45,000 de-signed to save the historic Btilfinch building from going to decay. The Minding was in disreputable condi-

roof iripanger of falling in,

Not to mention any subscriptions less than $5,000, though there were many ranging from $1,000 to $2,500, the following groups later made their subscriptions:

11—Ex-Senator Patrick McGov- ern $5,000

12—Mrs. W. Stuart Glazier...— Walter S. Schutz Tucker & Goodwin..... Edward M. Day Thomson, Fenn & Co... ... . Frank C. Sumner ($500 each) Ferdinand Richter ($1,000) W. H. Putnam ($1,000) $5,000

Mrs. T. Belknap Beach ($100) Anonymous ($4,000) $5,100

The Society of Colonial Dames had a fund which amounted to $12,000, the Sons of the American Revolu-tion $2,000, and Ruth Willys chap-ter, D. A. R., $2,867, all to be used for the restoration of rooms.

Success having crowned the work of raising the fund of over $100,000 work was soon begun. Room after room was gradually overhauled by the architects, who followed out the original Bulfinch plans, and thi handsome old structure was at length completely restored. The work continued during the war and finally, in January, 1921, complete and refurnished, the state house was thrown open to the public. The his. toric ground to the east of the State House is still occupied by a hideous pile of granite, and no one can say when, if ever, Mr. Bulkeley's vision of a restored park will be realized.

MR. COOLEY'S SERVICE.

Few citizens give their commun- ities more efficient or more faithful set-1, ice than has been rendered by l'raneis R. Cooley as a member of

(the municipal board of finance, Serv-ing under flie mayors Mr. Cooley holds the long distance record—ex-cept for ex-officio members—for membership In this Important

'body, which makes heavy demands upon the time of its members, espe-cially during the period of budget

,making when whole days must be devoted to Its work. It isn't neces-;try in Hartford, of course, to say

that, Mr. Cooley is a wise and able

lccurisellor in financial matters. That tnttde his appointment to the board in the first place highly desirable and it accounts for the fact that suc-ceeding mayors, regardless of poll-tics, have retained his services. Pre-sumably Mr. Cooley would not resign, but for the fact that he is to be

--4a.bsent from the city during tiler period of budget making. He has ren-1 tiered such conspicuously fine service that is entirely proper to hope the future may find him agatn a seem-

- ber of the board. 11 nit

ACTRESS FIGHTING FOR MILLIONS OF

f. MARSHALL FIELD

.Tchnson, of this town,• member of a protninent New York and Cleveland fam-Hy was married to Peggy Marsh, the English actress, on January 5, It . was learned to-day. The ceremony was per-formed by Justice of the Peace Albert

IN Meade. Mr. Johnson is the son of Al-bert L. Johnson, brother of the late Tom

I L, Johnson. who served four years as mayor or Cleveland.

1 The bride is in a sanatorium here, where she recently underwent an opera-

+, :, tiot: for appendicitis. She came to this 41 , i country a few weeks ago and announced:

! site would institute new legal proceed-ings to ol.taln part og the fortune of the

■ late Henry Field, 2nd, of Chicago, in behalf of her four years old son, Henry

• Anthony Marsh. Chicago, January 20.—Peggy Marsh,

a fernier chorus girt. met Henry Field, grandson of Marshall Field, in London. Aftetr -Henry Field's death In Juty,, 1917. she instituted suit In Chicago for the construction of Marshall Field'sh. wilt_

According to her story she received from Henry Field at least $50,0011 In cash and presents. He was further said to have signed an agVeement to pay her, 9100.00n. ,

A claim for this latter amount was died late in 193.9 in, the prbbate court. The claim was not Contested h the Field family, who let it he known that the," recognized her son as the child of Lienry Field. /

The suit to construe the will of .farshall Field so as to give to the at:tress's son a share in his great grand= • father's millions was unsuccessful. En1

rt. decisions held the child heir to t e $4.020.000 which Henry Field left when lie died intestate.

The unsuccessful fight for a share In tho undivided principal GC Marshall Field's estate turned on a single phrase in the will. Certain conCngencies were matte, by the will dependent upon the tcsiotor's grandchildren dying "without lawful issue." The attorneys for the Marsh interests, led by Edward F. Dunne, former governor of Illinois, eon:ended vainly that A child born out

r. of wedlock might be a lawful heir and Iliac therefore Peggy Mdrsh's son Came within the meaning of the will. The winning contention by tl.e Field estate attorneys was that the Chicago merchant

I had m mind the founding of a family ;-to perpetuate the Field name and expand

■ ,, Oita interests and that only legitimate

chlidren could share in this purpose. - :-. r- • • A

Respectfully, LUCIEN lit BURPF..E.

In accepting the resignations Gov-. ernor Holcomb replied ae follows;

Dear General Burpee: I have de-layed acceptance of the resignations of yourself and Colonels Holden and Ives as members of the military emergency hoard, received last month, until con-

.ditions developed which justified it. I note that the staff select by Governor-elect Lake includes Colonels Ives, Major Lucius B. Barbour and Paul H. Water-man, M. D., -who have had extensive military training and experience. I therefore now accept said resignations, to take effect at the expiration of my office as governor, on January 5, 1921. I shall inform Governor-elect Lake of this action, that he may take such steps as he may find advisable.

1 desire to express my appreciation of the faithful and efficient work of the military emergency board,az,hoee sera-. ices have been without ermpensation other than the 5atisfaAtion of serving the state during the emergency created by the removal of the Connecticut Na. tional Guard in 1917 by our entrance. into the World war.

I acknowledge my personal obliga-tion to you who, on my personal solici-tation, in March, 1917, accepted the po-sition of head of the military emergency hoard. under whose direction an ex-ceedingly efficient Home Guard wa promptly organized, equipped and main taMed, and which during the Won scar and since has safeguarded the peso of the state and its industries.

To you more than any other is du he efficiency of the State Guard. ro save assumed the burdens incident t laid appointment In addition to th cork connected with your position as. udge, taking no vacations for nearly, our years. • The history of Connecticut luring the Woral war will recognize he value of your services, ■

Board Created in March, leri. ' The military emergency board was,

appointed in March, 1917, under an act peened by the legislature at that time creating the Connecticut State Guard. Under the law, the emergency board,

_acting with the governor, is required to raise, maintain and governor all mili-tary forces in the state except the Goy-

a ernor's Foot Guards. But the military forces can be called into service by -the

BY doing this he saved le-al expensee which would have been I. ansiderable and the depositors and the Lockholders had the benefit of his de-ision not to appoint an attorney to as-ist him. There was pressure brought' ) bear on him to appoint one and at meeting of depositors held in Shelton was publicly stated that he had ao-

olnted a New Haven lawyer his at-3r ney. The announcement of the appointment

.11,s well received by the meeting. But iovernor Holcomb promptly undeceived hem by telling them that he had not ,ppointed any 6ne to advise him as an tttorney and that he "did not intend to topoint any one. A motion was Passed ,y the meeting that the receiver be re-luested to show the books of the bank o an attorney who was named in the notion. Governor Holcomb told the neeting that he would be glad to show he books to him but that he was not .esponsible for his conduct as receiver o the meeting. "z am responsible to to one but the superior court by whom was but said Governor Hot-

tomb to the, meeting. Calls Hartford Best City.

Governor Holcomb deplores the ten-ency to encroach on the rights of the tates by congress and he was afraid

would lead to trouble. He recalled hat, when he was a democrat the party 'tood unswervingly for state rights and hat it was a cardinal principle of the arty. In a reference to the .city of iartford he said that this city was "the nost desirable city in the country .to ive in." Governor Holcomb has views.. )f his own on education and they do not iarmonize with some of the modern no-Ions.

He recalled that when he was a young man he taught school in a town In Litchfield county for $12 a week and -boarded around." He had twenty-nine pupils and four of them went to college and were graduated. ' "Nowadays these twenty-nine would, I suppose, he divided into eight different" grades," said Gov-ernor Holcomb. "The school boys when I taught school thought nothing of walking for several miles in ail kinds of weather, and, often through snow drifts to school, but to-day must )e carried," said the ex-governor. Ile has a strong objection to the frequent changing of text books. "It made the limning of schools more expensive and no one is benefiteed but the oublishers. School committees now chTnge text books for the slightest reason at the re-quest of school superintendent," he said

Governor Holcomb does not like the -.change that has been made in the state police department. Under the old law the departtnent was developed and was doing good work under the superinten-dency of Mr. Egan. Hd did not hesitate to say that it was a great mistake to depose Mr. Egan from the position of

The general assembly of 1521 ad-journed without delay at 4:31 standard time, Wednesday afternoon after Gover-nor Lake had read a brief address to a joint convention of the senate and house, Sheriff Caleb had proclaimed his "Oyez, Oyez, Oyez" and State Secretary Donald J. Warner had declared the assembly dissolved and pronounced the "God save the state of Connecticut."

These were momenta of decorum coming at the end of a turbulent day of mirth and tomfoolery in the house and the senate as well although toward the close the house settled down to seriousness long enough for the presen-tation of gifts to prominent members and speeches of good-bye.

"HIGH SPOTS" IN LAKE'S INAUGURAL

Any new projects or undertakings involving new con-struction, and incidental thereto new approporiations of the state monies, should be deemed inadvisable at the present time.

Revenues should be increased by any fair means. I believe that the state should be represented upon

the. governing board of every private institution receiving state aid, and that the representative should be an active participant in the workings of such board.

I believe that many of these (state) departments as they now exist could be consolidated and reorganized with very great advantage * * * present conditions mark this as the logical time to undertake this matter thoroughly.

The maintenance of the roads already constructed should not be neglected * * * and registration, license and other lees assessed on motor trucks and other motor vehi-cles should be revised with the idea of placing a fair bur-den of this cost upon such large users of the highways.

I am strongly of the opinion that financial aid, wheth-er temporary or otherwise, cannot constitutionally be ex-tended to street railway companies from the public treasuries, either state or municipal.

I recommend that street railway companies be relieved in part or in full, for a limited period, from the duty now imposed by statute of contributing to the cost of street improvements.

Until it has been convic.eingly shown that the motor bus or jitney * * * can at all times fill the place of the electric car with the same degree of safety, I believe it to be your duty to see that the present street railway service is rendered possible, and to prevent by all reasonab means any interruption of such service.

Your ratification of the eighteenth amendment, o your failure to ratify it, has no bearing whatever upon your duty to enact legislation which shall insure the posi-tive enforcement of what is now the law here and every- where in the Union.

You should either repeal the act (civil service law), which action would receive my approval, or amend it in such a way that it would be workable and effective.

STORY OF ADVENTURE TOLD BY LIEUT KLOOR

Crowley, La., Jan. 11—Hardahips of the three navy balloonists in the Canadian wilds are recounted in a letter from Lieut Louis Kmor. Jr.,. written after their arrival at Moose Factory, and made publics here to-day by his father. The letter follows:—

Manse Factory, Ont., Can., Dec, 21, 1920—Dear Dad and Mother: By the time this letter reaches you. you; wor-ries will probably he over for the cap-tain will have informed you of my safety, I can only tell you the trend of the story now and explain all in a long letter next time I write.

I took a balloon out on Monday, December 13 and carried two passen-gers. Lieut Farrell and Lieut Hinton. who was the pilot that flew the NC-1 across the Atlantic with Reed.

A tierce storm hit us that night, „and finally we were forced to land ;`next day on account of low ballast.

We found we had flown miles out ct 4 civilised country and north over fields,

lakes and forests covered with snow and ice. We had to land Tuesday at 1.30 p. rel, We did not know where we were. We had no Charts, only a com-pass, three carrier pigeons and no food, our food had all been eaten in the air, for we flew 25 hours before landing. We were wet and cold and

' hungry, Our flying suits were S.) heavy we had to cast them off and walk in our thin Uniforms. I had on my light summer underwear as al-ways. It was hell and misery. Had to Stop and Build Fires to Keep

From Freezing We could only walk for about two

hours at a time and build a fire to keep our feet from freezing, then tart walking again. At night we ould not sleep, regardless of how hot ur lire was, it snowed so hard and he ground was so wet. Snow water as all we had to drink. We lived on two carrier pigeons

hick luckily I did not send back with essages. The misery lasted for

hree days, lost and no signs Of hope r habitation in sight. Friday, after eying followed a small river from here we first landed in the balloon. discovered sled tracks in the ice,

it we tet off to follow them. If we ad ilot found these sled tracks we ould not be living to-day. We fol.

owed the tracks for at least the iles. They led into a large lak > I

f ice at least two miles wide. Aft...) •allcing along for about an hour on he lake, in the direction the tracks ed, we spied a man abodt a mile head of us.

Spoke Only Indian Tongue After many wild shuuts and signalit

f distress I managed to stop him nd got to him to tell him to help as nd a town or some house. food and lathing. Much to my dismay I found he

!could only speak in hii) native Indian tongue, but, after many signs I made him understand the conditions of my-self and my companions. Isteuts Farrell and Hinton were played eta, He (the Indian) led me Mr two ho irs 1-aretigh snow and ice to the Di: ce, where, to my joy, I found a settlement of whit.. fur traders and Indians, Af-ter dispatching a rescue party for friends, I ate ferociously for about an hour to satisfy the cravings of my tarnishers self. We are now doing well and recuperating at this port, being taken care of by the manager

Moose Factory, It Is. located at the CI ti tnauth of Moose river, which runs ./

I 'rite lower Hudson bay, part of Hud-son bay. I 'figure to-day that. by dis rect air lime, I was about 52a miles from Rockaway heath and about 1000 sniles by rail. I never conceived when lost in the woods that we were so far north.

God Was With Vs and Saved Vs The settlers tell us that this is the

mildest winter they have had in 20 years, so you see God was with us and saved us from death, as last year at this time the weather was 20 30 degrees below zero,

We are 200 miles from the nearest railroad station. Mattice, and as soon as suitable clothes are made for us to stand the climate, we are going to

• ...start by dogsled from here and walk t4it. to that point.

Apt take at least 10 days to make the trip • and then about four days to go from

Mattice to New Ycrk. I should be in New York again January 10, my 23d hlrthday. I had planned to see you then, but you know now why that a.as impossible.

Regrets Worry Caused It makes me feel very sad to think

this Incident in my lite will have caused you so much worry and dis-

stress during the holidays,, when. in-stead of enjoying yourself, you were sad, dejected and believed the dead,. and. if you can realize how near we were to death and how miraculously we were snatched from death, you would forgive and forget it all, so pray for me and with me and give thanks to God for me for my safe return home. Just as soon as it is possible after I get bank to my station and

Hartford chamber of commerce, held Monday evening, a large part of the time was devoted to talk of improving Main street. There was a good at-tendance and many prominent citizens expressed the hope that the improve-ment would be made this year.

The meeting was called to order by George Westbrook, president, and as he had another meeting to attend Wil-liam G. Squires was elected chairman of the meeting. A committee consisting of William B. Lewis, Percy S. Bryant, John J. Burke, Homer Chapdelaine and James Johnston were appointed to make arrangements for the annual banquet. It was left with the commit-tee to decide on the date of the ban-quet and the speaker. Mr. Lewis has already called a meeting of the commit-tee for Monday evening, January 17. in Wells ball, in order to organize and start plans.

Samuel G. Harrison, Thomas Murray, Frederick E. Fuller, Representative Howard E. Bidwell and many others spoke in favor of having the widening done this year. On motion of Mr. Ful-ler, seconded by E. K. Smith, it was voted: "It is the sense of the chamber of commerce that tbe fire district corn-y issioners take up and promote as ex-peditiously as possible the improve,nent of Main street from Church corner to the railroad cut, or ag far north as practical."

-- • es• ••• OLIDGE GOES HOME.

If YfA srAtfig1'horrias Jefferson were in the vicinity of the Massa-chusetts state house on Thursday it must have smiled benignly upon Calvin Coolidge, who that day gave up his office of governor of the commonwealth and retired to his tenement in Northampton to prepare -for his induction into the vice-presl-dency of the United States on March 4. For Calvin Coolidge did not go out of office in a blaze of glory. He almost slinked out, and we use the word in , no unfavorable sense. To his successor, Governor Cox, he handed the key to the executive chambeis the Butler Bible, and the arrowhead and flint that symbolize the state's duty to its dimihishing Indian wards; then he picked up his hat, and, without official escort. slipped out a side door where he joined a group of friends, had lunch-eon with them, met Mrs. Coolidge and fought his way through the crowds at the railroad station and got into a Jay coach, where his wife began knitting what "looked like a sock in its first stages," while he Burled himself in a. newspaper., Cal Coolidge was a plain citizen, out of office for the first time kin many years, traveling like a plain citizen and probably glad of the respite from official cares.

We like the figure of Calvin Cool-idge. He typifies the mass of the solid people or the Country. Firm in his• convictions as the hills of Plymouth in old 'Vermont, where he was born, free from mannerisms and affectation, possessed of hard common sense, he has solidity and strength of character that make him genuinely a' representative of the best that is New England's. When he speaks he does it well, and people know he iseans what he says, and that he says what he says after due deliberation. Not swept off his feet by emotion, not moved by threats, not to be swerved from his line of duty, not catering to one element oe another. he is one the plain people of this country may well be proud of as their vice-presi-dent, and though we do not agree with all his political principles or those of his party, we know that Calvin Coolidge rill be a faithful servant of the people in Washington and a inan well entitled to the pea- hle's

One of the most unique parties given this season was the last "Sliest', Ball," which Mr. and Mrs. Seymour N. Robinson gave last evening at the Hartford Club for their daughter, Miss Beulah Robinson.

The decorations transformed the ballroom into a veritable fairyland Oni , '1}, all sides of the wall there were green decorations, from which hung icicles and at one end of thesroom there was a large snow fort. The stage, where Wittstein's Orchestra from New Haven played with all its pagic, was banked in green trees, which were covered with snow and at one end there was a large snow man and at the other side of the stage a huge snowball, Just hefore,the intermission for supper several of Miss Robinson's house guests went behind tho snow fort and others went upstairs on the halany and they gaily pelted the guests with huge snowballs.

Among the factory associates were seven who will have been with the "Underwood company twenty years dur-ing 1921. They are: F. W. Helmondi P. J. Mclntee, J. H. Garsden, Frank A. Cook, W. F. Griswold, E. P. Story and awgril Araermau, The following

of his connection with the Underwood company, Mr. Hire said the outstanding

in diplomacy and finance. in leav- ing the Trappist order 'two years ago, after twenty year of silence,

seclusion, piety and religious exclusive. !less, took a step that has few parallels.' Seldom have monks repudiated their vows, though fiction presents the figure of the monk in the " Garden of Allah " who wandered from the cloister and married, but returned to his cell, a re-pentant man.

In a way, the life of Mr. Biddle, • known until two years ago as Father Alberlc in the Abbey of Gethsemane, y, Kentucky, is a counterpart of this work ' of fiction. For, like the monk of fie_I Lion, he married only a few days ago Miss Mary Lena Gaines of Warrenton, Va., as was annoinced in press dis-patches. The honeymoon was passed In Washington. but now Mr. Biddle and his bride are at the country estate of the latter. Paradise, one of the beautiful , e Colonial homesteads in Virginia, where the bridegroom is devoting himself to a study of the questions that have pressed upon the world in the last twenty years. ,. , The League of Nations, he says, is the greatest thing that has been offered to the world in centuries, and he believes, that the United States will finally enter' into an association of nations which will I be effective in preserving the peace of the world.

Having entered the broad highway of affairs at the age of 52, unfamiliar with Ai what has occurred in a definite way in world development Mr. Biddle is more eager than a college boy preparing his a commencement speech. He Is saturating : himself with the things that have hap- • pened since his entrance upon noorechood some twenty-two years ago. In the last( week Mr. and Mrs. Biddle have been In 4. Washington. where they were married, • - Much of Mr. Blddie's time has been Passed at the Congressional Library,. reading about the questions of the day, and In the shops buying books on his-tory to carry back to his Virginia home.;

Mr. Biddle, who is a tall, ascetic man,' with a well-developed head, slightly bald on top—the hair slight and gray—looks through snappy eyes which follow You as he talks and hold your attention. He seemed not unwilling, a few days ago, to give his views as to political and in-ternational questions, but was rather reticent when asked to discuss the rea-sons that Impelled him to return to the world and marry. He talked rather slowly, frequently hesitated for a word, or was indecisive as to whether he

- should say what was in his mind. He remarked that he did not desire to ex-press his opinion in a polemical spirit which might injure the affections of others who did not agree with him that he took the right course when he left the monastery.

" When I was about 23 years of age,

with insufficient study of the questions." he said, " I embraced the tenets of the Roman Catholic Church, and later study of the early Christian writers and authors, such as Jerome, 5\1 eletius and

men

regarded both In the East and West saints, led me to accept the view t the early Christian and original Chure organization was that generally ex-pressed In the Episcopal or evangelical

I movement, ruled by a Council of Elders and presided over by a Bishop.

" The original Church government was democratic In, form, ruled by 'leading wise men of the Church, which furnishes a basis for the Church remaining upon a firm foundation. The essential char-

,, acter of religious truth is expressed in the Apostles' Creed, and other matters which are not essential are left to indi-vidual freedom.

" It Is not my desire to express in a polemical spirit anything that may in-jure the affections of others. My views en e oun learnedly expressed in such

recent works as Angelical Pullers,' ' Primitive Saints,' ' The See of Rome ' and Denys' ' Papalism,' and other learned ancient and modern historical and eeciesiasticai works. St. Jerome, while a youth, entered the Church of

, Rome, and in his writings declared that e it was not as in this time, but ruled by

• a Council of Elders, of which the Bishop was the presiding one. In the Acts of St. Paul and his writings the terms bishop, eider and priest are synony- e mous.

" After many years of study, there-fore. I became convinced that St. Paul was right and that celibacy was a mat-ter of choice with the individual. One day my relatives came to see me and I went with them to Philadelphia fo medical treatment and never returned to the monastery."

"But had you not taken, the vow?" " Yes, but I did not regard the vow as

binding upon me because later I took he Protestant view of the matter," he xplained.

I Mr. Biddle was told that his case reilt eemed to be similar to the monk in -

r re

e Garden of Allah," and it was sug- ested that he might follow the course f that monk. " Oh. no! There is every difference. left out of conscience and he was

ever at rest itith his conscience, as ou know. He returned because his oneclenco drove him back. I left my eclusion because my conscience con- • I

JUDGE brink,

When you proclaim that Man is lord and master--

cut would you try it here? I Scarce- , ly think!

'Ms well you live in those delightful regions,

For there you can the flag of Man uplift

Without a fear that Amazonian legions

Will bring upon you vengeance dire and swift.

But if you uttered such a dictum here, sir,

Where suffragists are going fairly strong,

Well, all that I can say is that I fear, sir,

Our "militants" would make short work of long!

To your interesting account of the 4 - Perils undergone by Benjamin Kilboern at Wyoming in /778, it might be of interest to add that two of his sons were soldiers In the American army in the revolution.

Benjamin leilbourn was horn in Nova .Scotia in 1761. He was a "sergeant" of a company of light infantry at the

John Kilbourn was born in Nova (Scotia and at the age of eighteen was ,enlfeted as a volunteer for the defense

Fort Trumbull at New London. While the British were on their way to destroy New London. they were much annoyed' by the firing from the fort and a de-tachment -of the enemy was sent to capture it. The fortification had been

As she is understood to be possessed, through the kindly laws of inherits nee, of considerable posses-s ions, it would answer the inutilries of many readers if you would publish the beneficiaries of her decision to "go sell that thou bast and give to the poor."
