Worcester, Mass., May 11.— (AP) —Fire, believed to be of incendiary origin, destroyed the three-story factory building housing the Atlas Yeast Corporation at North Grafton early today with a loss that U ex­pected to exceed 8100,000,

An attendant at the railroad sta­tion across the street told authori­ties that an automobile drew up In front of the factory about 4:45 a, m. and a man got out. A few min­utes later he hurried away and shortly after the place burst Into flames.

The fire, discovered by William B. Harrington, the attendant, spread qulc’kly and aid was summoned from Shrewsbury and Westboro. Fire­men were In great danger at the height of the blaze during which several explosions occurred. Offi­cials of the company stated the chemical apparatus In the plant was of great value.

Guard and Two Convicts KQIed in Disorders in Two Texas Penal Institutions.

Huntsville, Tex., May 11.— (A P )— The death of a guard and two pris­oners and the escape of three con­victs today marked bloody disorders at two of the many units In the state’s prison system.

A break In which a guard and a prisoner were killed at the Eastham Prison Farm and fights at the main penitentiary here, occurred less than 18 hours after Raymond Hamilton, southwest desperado and his com­panion in crime, Joe Palmer, were electrocuted for slaying a guard.

Authorities said they found no connection between the uprising*, and the execution of the two killers

ho led the Eastham Farm escape ' which Major Crowson, a guard,

killed In 1934.Parolee Heads Break

Jack Peddy, who once gained free­dom by forcing a parole, led the prison farm break 40 miles north of here. Using a smuggled gun, he kUled VlrgU Welch, seriously wounded Homer Parker, convict turnkey, and beat Guard Tom Ste­phens into unconsciousness.

Peddy was shot down as he, two murderers and a robber fled across a field. The guards, thinking the leader was dead, continued in pur­suit of the- other convicts. They returned later to find Peddy gone. He was shot to death two hours later as he walked out of a clump of trees.

The others, Sam Grant and R. C. Tipton, both serving life sentences for murder, and Harry Lutlow, serv­ing 38 years for robbery, fled Into the Trinity river bottoms.

Gang* In UelaeAt the prison here, Ernest Young,

whp last'January came close to kill­ing a convict by cutting his throat over a dice game, was stabbed to death in a gang flght About 100 prisoners took part In the flght. which came shortly after an alter­ation in the prison between two ather convicts. Several other pris­oners were bruised.

New York, May 11.— (AP) Frederick Gross, 49-year-oId book­keeper. waa charged with homicide today in connection with the po)son deaths of his wife and four children

Gross was arraigned in a Brook­lyn police court after he had under­gone an all night questioning which, police said, had failed to shake him in his denial that he had used a rare poison to take the lives of his wife, Katharine, 38, and the chil­dren, Frederick, 9>4, Katharine, 7, Leo, 3, and Barbara, 18 months.

Evidence allegedly obtained by a toxicologist using a spectograph on tissue taken from the bodies of the mother and the son. Leon, caused District Attorney William F. X. Geogban to order the placing of a homicide charge against the prisoner.

A Rare PoisonInvestigators said Gross, a 820-a-

week bookkeeper for an Importing firm, had access to a stock of poison intended for killing rodents. Because it had been uaed so rarely In taking human life, they said, medical knowledge of Its effect on the human body is limited.

The prisoner, wearer of an artifi­cial leg the result of an accident In Philadelphia In 1905, had only the nourishment of half a sandwich and a cup of coffee during the grilling which, had entered Its second day.

Investigators said the deaths re­sulted from poison taken In food.

Thinks Him Innocent Gross’s mother-in-law, Mrs. Olga

Beta, ta a Brooltlyn hospital suffer­ing from symptoms of poisoning, professed her belief ta the book­keeper’s innocence early today when authorities brought the man to the hospital. They had planned to con­front Gross with bis III mother-in- law, but changed their plans when she declared she thought he was innocent.

“He couldn’t have done It," she said. "He thought too much of them all,"

Gross said his mother-ta-law had told of seeing a white, sparkling substance ta some cocoa that Gross had purchased from the firm em

Senate Democrats at a confer­ence backed the plan to trim the Blue Eagle’s wings somewhat and extend its life only until April 1 . 1936.

Washington. May 11.— (AP) — In tho after-glow of a brilliant welcom­ing fete. Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd attacked the task of writing his scientific findings today while the men who spent two years in Antarc- Ica with him began to scatter to­ward their homes.

The admiral, as. President Roose­velt said in his speech of greeting late yesterday, had reports to make on “valuable information" which the expedition added to “at least 22 sep­arate sciences.”

After spending the night with his family at the White House as offi­cial guest of the naUon, the slender explorer, whose hair has been turned somewhat gray by the rigors of the waste lands, was up early to confer with Secretary Swanson and scien­tific authorities.

Geographic Dinner At a dinner last night at which

Byrd received from the National Geographic Society a scroll recount­ing his achievements ta mapping the frigid fastnesses of the world’s far corners, the explorer spoke of some of the data he brought back from his second trip to Little Ameri­ca. He said;

That the ice age was at Us peak at the South Pole, with the Ice vary­ing from two feet to two miles thick.

That the explorers had discovered and claimed for the United States Marie Byrd land, an area as large as the eastern seaboard states from Maine to Georgia.

That an area of 250,000 square miles, hitherto listed as unknown, had been found to be part of the Pacific ocean.

That Antarctica Is all one conti­nent. aa large aa the United States, Mexico and part of Canada com­bined.

That, among other data, the ex­pedition brought back information on cosmic rays, weather and astron­omy.

Greeted By President In the warmth of a Washington

spring that contrasted atriki^ly with the howling winds of the Polar region, the sturdy craft Bear of Oakland pulled to the Navy Yard late yesterday. Amid tumult and the sounds of cannon. Admiral Byrd stepped ashore to be greeted by President Roosevelt, Governor Peery of Virginia, Clabinet officials. Con­gressmen and a long list of top- hatted or gold-braided personages.

“ Dick, I salute you,” the President said.

“Mr. President,” said Byrd, "I herewith report to you the return of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition n . Thanks to providence, every mim reached civilization safe and well."

Nation ProudIn his more formal speech, the

President said:“To have carried these ship com­

rades to a dangerous outpost, to have developed your exploratory and scientific work - through many month*, under the moat trying con­ditions, and to have brought them all safely home to their families. Is an achievement of which the whole nation is proud."

Families of Byrd’s 100 men were on hand, their faces shining with

Reconstruction Corporation head spoke on his own responsibility.

Jones, speaking to a bankers' meeting at Pinehurst, N. C., said he could “not become excited" about the prospect of immediate payment. The capital studied with Interest the portion of the speech in which Jones said;

Not Unbetirabk* Burden “The few billions that the govern­

ment has expended in relief meas­ures including the new 84,880.000,- 000 public-works and relief author­ization will not be an unbearable burden, nor even the two billion additional that it seems likely that Congress may add in payment of the adjusted service certificates to the veterans.

It appears entirely possible that Congress may override a Pre.siden- tial veto of this measure. But aft­er all, we voluntarily assumed the debt ten years ago and paying It now la merely anticipating by ten years something that must at ail events be paid. True, if the full amount of the bill (s authorized. It will be anticipating a payment with­out reduction of unearned interest. I am not sure’ but that It will be worth this extra cost to get this is­sue settled and out of politics.

Should Im|Kme Taxes"Of course we cannot go on In­

definitely authorizing expenditures in large amounts without levying taxes to pay them. And like It or not, that is exactly what Congress should do."

Meanwhile, there was talk In some Senate circles of reviving the Vin­son bonus bill if an expected veto of the Patman new currency measure should be upheld by the Senate.

Republican leaders predicted flat­ly that the Vinson bill, which was rejected In both house and senate, would be sent by Congress to the President If the Patman bill was

COLONISTS REACH THEIR NEW HOMES

67 Minnesota Farm Families Arrive in Alaska— Eager to Start Work.

(Coatlnued on Page T«d)

Palmer, Alaska, Mav 11.— (AP) —Men, women and children of 67 Minnesota farm famillea, given a "new chance" by Uncle Sam, awoke on a chill morning today ta their promised land.

The night was cool—for It’s still early spring in this fertile Matanu- aka valley. Temporary tent homes ta which they spent their first night was not a restful one for many of them.

Bright and early this morning, however, they were up, walking about, getting a better view of the valley and the “boom town" being ^ l l t for them. Among them was Herman , Schlittberger. of Mora Minn.

Good Farmland,“It looks like a fine farming dis­

trict," he said, comparing the ver­dant country with the drought- swept middle-west the Colonists left a few weeks ago,

"1 am not going to ti:y to make good ;1 am going to make good. I’m used to hard work. I’ve expected

here I am, ready for

“ We’re going ahead with smiles on our faces.” his wife added. “We’ll make the beat of everything and there’s doubtless a good comfort­able future ahead.”

Dramatic SceneThe arrival of the Colonists last

night, after their 160-mlIe train trip north from Seward’ at Anchor­age, 45 miles south of here, was a dramatic scene. The children shout­ed. Some of the older folks cheer-

Some had tears in their eyes. Several mothers, with babies In

their arms, were very serious as they got off the train.

Dinner was ready for them at the big commissary which has housed the 500 CCC workers here for the last week. Little time was lost as- signing the families to their tempo­rary homes and ta unp?-king bag­gage and getting settled for the Bight.

erspoon, the future direction of the Metropolitan Opera was once more the topic of dominant interest in music circles today.

Paul D. Cravath, chairman of the opera's board of directors, waa ex­pected within the next few days to call a meeting to consider a succes­sor to Mr. Witherspoon who. but a few weeks ago, had succeeded Gtulio Gatti-Casazza as general manager of the world famous "Met.’’

With much work still to do on the coming season's plana, little delay waa looked for.

Mr. Witherspoon, who had intend­ed to sail with his wife for Europe today, had completed the prelimin­ary announcement of the 1935-36 season but a few hours before his death late yesterday.

Death, resulting almost Inatan- tancoualy from a heart attack, came a few hours after the first 1935-36 posters bearing his name and title had been pasted up outside the his­toric opera building.

Came QuicklyEarle Lewis, treasurer of the

Metropolitan Opera ' Association, who. with Mr. Witherspoon, had Just entered the opera offices, said:

“He simply sank to the floor and that was all . . . 1 thought at Hrat he had stumbled. 1 put out my hand to steady him and he fell. It was all over in a minute."

Until the selection of a successor, these plans will be carried on by the two assistant general managers, Ed­ward Ziegler and Edward Johnson, the Canadian tenor.

Johnson was in Detroit, singing ta performances of Deems Taylor’s "Peter Ibbetaon", with Lucrezla Bori. It waa unde.atood he would return to New York as soon aa pos, sible.

Financial PlansWhile, the directors made no pub­

lic comment, it was emphasized that the basic arrangement for the com­ing season would continue —the ar­rangement by which the JutUlard Foundation guarantees 8150,000 of any deficit.

Ohe condition o f this arrange­ment was the selection of Mr. With­erspoon, who was closely identified with the Jullliard school of music and the foundation.

John Erakine, the writer and Columbia professor, who is chair­man of the JuIUard trustees, was recently made a director of the Metropolitan.

Some persons close to both the opera and the Julltard Foundation thought It likely Ersklne would be named as general manager of the "Met."

If he refuses, the choice would probably fall between Ziegler, who has been assistant under Gatti- Casazza for the last 20 years, and Johnson.

Strict Censor^ip Clamped Down On AO Movements of W a rx ^ ^ t — Nothing Is Known of^^ereabonts of 46 Seaplanes Which Hopped Off Yesterday.

Honolulu. May 11.— (A P )—Hint* of even more amazing aerial opera­tions came from high naval sources today while the Navy’s great arma­da of 46 seaplanes continued Its un­precedented secret maneuver* somewhere ta the Pacific weet of Hawaii.

Reports were that 460 aircraft would take part, but amplification was not forthcoming here, nor would naval officials at Washington Comment.

The aircraft are aboard surfac* vessels of the fleet now maneuver­ing under simulated wartime condi­tions in a great triangular area in the Pacific bounded by the Aleutian Islands on the north, the western seaboard of the United State* on the east and Hawaii on the south.

Sketchy preliminary announce­ments concerning the maneuver* in­dicated that planes aboard three huge carriers would figure conspic­uously ta the war games.

Censorship la OnSo effective., meanwhile, was a

censorship clamped down upon the movement of the 46-plane patrol, that Honolulu waa without even a hint as to its whereabouts, although Navy officials said frankly they knew what the planes were doing.

It was pointed out that the air­craft were of utmost Importance to the present activities of the fleet and that to acquaint a mythical enemy with their operations would destroy their effectiveness.

SECRET RADIO HOOK-UP FOR FEDERAL AGENTS

Washington,. May 11.— (AP) — Justice Department agents soon may have a new weapon—a secret radio system—to aid them In their efforts against kidnapers, bank rob­bers, jewel thieves and other crimi­nals.

An Informed source said today that radio engineers have been ex­perimenting for some time along this line. Plans call for putting the central broadcasting system atop tin new justice building here, with the country divided Into reception zones

Tbe radio plan has been mention- e<l as a po.sslblllty by both Attorney General Cummings and J. Fldgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bu- reiiu of Invc.stlgatlon.

Hoover's Idea, he said today, would be for a continuous hookup with key points In 32 cities and with mobile radio units in fast au- to uobllea and possibly airplanes.

The system should be capable of instent expansion to link state and metropo dan police and even sher­iffs irtl crpstahles whenever a wide .search was needed over a large area Hoover said.

He said the solution of technical prfjblemfl now being studied would make wireless an effective weapon In such hunts as the one last Janu­ary for Alvin Kurpls when ho es­caped after a gun battle with offi­cers at Atlantic City, N. J.

If a radio had been available then thousands of ,)ollce officers could have been warned quickly and con­stantly informed of the chase which extended along the Atlantic sea­board, Hoover Indicated.

Local 2125, U. T. W. A., will hold a meeting at 2:30 thia afternoon In Odd Fellowa hgll to dlseuaa the conferenoea between a special com­mittee representing ttic union and Cheney Brothers regarding the pro­posed wage adjuatment program.

It was said today that the re­sults of the conference will not be known until next week. Union of­ficials and. members of the Cheney firm this week have been equally reticent about discussing the wage proposals, although It Is reported tl'st tbe U'<lon hat asked that the so-ralDd non-produotlve workers be given the greatest reduction.

Local 2127 will hold a dance to­night starting at 8 o'clock in Odd Fellows hall. A union orchestra from Hartford, which has donated Its services, will furnish music.

For the first time In the history of Manchester High school, the lead­ing social event of the school year - the Junior Prom will not be held this year, It was announced today, due to the lock of Interest In the affair on the part of students. The Prom was scheduled to take place next Friday night, after having been postponed several times, but now It has beeh deemed advisable to cancel the date.

The Junior Promenade has been a fixture at the local' school for many years. It Is always given by the Junior Class In honor of the Senior Class, all members of the lat­ter being invited guests at the af­fair. The expense of the Prom, therefore, Is home by the juniors and other! who attend.

The expense of conducting a Prom Is high, it being necessary to ex­pend funds on a good orchestra, re­freshments and decorations. After the Prom date was set this year. It was found that the probable attend­ance would be small and that to go through with the affair would mean a heavy deficit. Rather than shoul­der the finanelal rfsponslblllty, the Junior Class voted to omit the Prom.

Jamea Tierney, f chairman of the committee that has had charge of the arrangements of the communion breakfast at the Army A Navy club tomorrow, announced this morning that the sale of ticketa reported to him Indicated that 250 would be at the breakfaat.

ONE BIG REASONiWhy Manchester Ought to Own Its Own

ELECTRICBUSINESS

During the time that Samuel Ferguson’s Connecticut Power Com­pany has owned the stock of the Manchester KIcctric Company, from 192H to 19.3.5, more than #600,000 has been paid out in dividends on the local company’s stock. <

This sum is just the dividends that have been paid on the stock, not the profits. The actual proiits have been much more than that.

This amount of #600,000 and mure, approaches ^hat might be deter­mined as a fair valuation of the Manchc.ster Electric Companv’s proper­ty. and

In the entire history of the Manche.stcr Electric Company, only $80,000 have been invested In the business from sources outside of the company Income, and that was previous to 1913. Dividends of $44,000 were paid during that time.

It looks ns if the Manche.ster EIcctlic Company ha.s been a verv profit­able venture.

The Town could make a good thing out of the electric business, also. It is one of the most profitable lines in the world today.

It is a public service that ought to be owned by the Town and operated for the benefit of the people.

Vote YES next Wedne.sday. May 15, and start to put the business where it belongs—in the hands of the people.

These dividends and profits would look good In the Town treasury.

A public meeting for the discu.ssion of a municipal electric plant for Manchester will be held next Tuesday evening. May 14. in High School Hall at 8 oclrck. The matter will be explained with facts, figures, and opinions. The public Is invited to come and take part in the discussion.

. Manchester was visited by a rain and electric storm last night that resulted in some people finding that thalr electric clocks were Stow this morning. It was about 10:30 when the first Indication of the storm was given. This was given to radio list­eners who found an exceptional amount of static*ln the air.

Suddenly all lights went out. This not only included the lights In the homes, but the street lights. The rainfall was heavy and the thunder loud. The tights were cut for about three minutes when the switch over was made and lights was again re­stored. It continued to thunder at in­tervals for over an hour after the lights went out. There were not many people on the streets last night with the exception of the State theater where there was a capacity house.

Started YesterdayThe planes soared awav from

Pearl Harlior early Thursday, but I whether all had gone on to Midway I island, 1,323 miles westward, as It was supposed they would do. or whether some had stopped by tiny coral atolls eh route was unknown.

Officials ended to minimize the unusualncss of the flight, explaining that ma.sa non-stop flights had been made to Midway several times be­fore.

It seemed highly probable that should a gigantic display of the Navy’s aerial strength be contem­plated at sea it would await the presence of Assistant Secretary of the Navv Henry L. Roosevelt.

"Child’s play" was the vague phrase used by one Washington of-

Naval officers here are emphatic that the war games are serious business designed to train the Navy for battle. In fact, most Naval strategy 1s based on an analysis of these annual tactical exercises.

How serious the simulated war­fare Is has been' felt by several of­ficers who have been reprimanded bv radio during the last few days bv superior officers for Inadvertent adni'fsl ins concerning operations of ships and planes which became pub­lic.

The radios of all ships are tuned to catch any Information of the op­posing aide, hence the slightest leak might well be turned to the advan­tage of one aide or the other.

Connecticut Tercentenarir the prob­able personnel may depend on the selecUona of the Connecticut Ter­centenary Commission.

Tbe bill to which the House con­curred when Representative Kop- plemann brought It on the floor In its original form without awaiting action by the chairman of the Library Committee, which had con­sidered it, provides for a -commis­sion of six to be named by the Speaker of the House, five Senators to be named by tbe President of the Senate and five persons to be named by the President.

The provisions regarding member­ship from the House was changed from five to six In the Senate com­mute reputedly for the purpose of providing for the entire House dele­gation from Connecticut. On the same basis, both Senators Maloney and Lonergan will be named from the Senate while Vice President Garner must select three others, it is expected both he and President Roosevelt will chose nominees rec­ommended by Senator Moloney.

Maloney said It he wore asked to suggest nominees for tbe commis­sion, he would accept the recommen­dation of the chairman of the Con­necticut Tercentenary commtasion.

The members wll serve without salary, but $10,000 was appointed in the bill for their travelling ex­penses. Their duties which are ex­pected to be light will probably in­clude calling on the President to In­vite formally him to visit Connecti­cut for the services and attending him on the trip.

With four days left for the pay­ment of the first Installment of this year’s property tax, approximately half the levy had been collected up to last night. Town Treasurer George H. Waddell said today.

The amouht of $228,000 had been collected Friday. Except that Che­ney Brothers' aaseaament has been appeaded to the Superior Court and the firm’s tax has not been paid, the percentage collected w o u ;b e high­er than last year, according to Mr. Waddell. Cheney Brothers' tax aa computed by the Board of Aases- sora and Relief for the first Install­ment is $109,000.

Temporary notes Issued by the town in anticipation of taxes and,., due May 20. total $375,000.

Next Wednesday la the final daji for payment of the first Installment* of taxes before interest charges of three-fourths of one per cent monthly are added to the tax.

Governor Cross hopes Connecticut might participate In tbe benefits to be derived if Cong'-esa enacts the bill Introduced by Representative Fiilmner, (D., S. C.) appropriating $20,000,000 for the purchase of land for state forests.

"While we have made a beginning In Connecticut by acquiring 65,000 acres of state forest” he wrote Representative Citron, "the forest area of the state is so extensive that It would be very helpfu for the state to take advantage of this bill, if it should pass. As you piobably know about 56 per cent of the area of Con­necticut Is In forest land."

Five months having passed since negotiations for a reciprocal trade agreement with Switzerland were begun, reports have been received here that an early announcement of its terms might be expected.

Watch and clock manufacturers in Connecticut have demanded that It contain no concession tc possibly In­creased Imports of Sw:bs time keep­ing devices or movements. Represen­tative Smith however, said he was unable to obtain any Information at the state department regarding the expressed provisions of the agree­ment or the time It will bo announc­ed.

The State Department maintains close secrecy during its negotia­tions.

RFC CHIEFTAIN COMES OUT FOR BONUSPAYMENT

,‘Contlnned from Page One)killed. They forecast also that It would be passed over a veto.

Backers of the Vinson bill, which provides for cash payment of the bonus but leaves the method of fi­nancing open, have contended thrfiughout the long bonus con­troversy that It had a much better chance to pass over a veto than the inflationary Patman bill.

They made this argument to the Senate In.trying to stop the Patman drive, but the Senate would not lis­ten.

Battle Not OverAdministration leaders, who

favored the Patman bill on the theory It was easier to beat, dis­counted the possibility of further bonus action after a veto of the Patman bill. They have main­tained. throughout, that senators would not have another chance at this session to pass a bonus bill.

Nevertheless, with overwhelming sentiment In both houses for cash payment of the bonus In one form or another, some veteran senators were confident that a veto by the presi­dent would not end the bonus battle even fr*r this session.

While they were looking ahead, veterans' leaders had not given up all hope on the Patman bill. The.v were directing a terrific pressure at the White House to persuade Presi­dent Roosevelt to sign the bill and at the same time working desperately for votes In the Senate to override him if he wouldn’t.

In the senate yesterday. Senator Long (D., La.), referred to Presi­dent Roosevelt's war record and drew from Senator Tydlngs (D., Md.). an angry warning that he might face something more than a "vocal” argument.

Tydlngs called upon Long to com­pare his own record, fully aware that Long did not serve, and when the Louisianan refused to discuss it, Tydlngs said that he would.

What stirred Tydlngs’ Ire was a statement by Long that Mr. Roose­velt received $10,000 as assistant secretary of the navy during the war, without facing a gun.

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCHText: Acta S:41-45; Eplieataiis

4:1-7. tl-lS .The International Uniform Son­

ny Sekool tiseaon for Blny IS.BY WM. E. ODLBOT. D. D.

Editor of Advmooe.Out of faith and experience comes

fellowship. Such was the origin of the Christian Church, and such has been the o'Hgin of every new movement and organisation In the history of the church.

Sometimes the faith and the ex­perience are narrow, and the result­ing movement and fellowship are aectional or sectarian. This, also, has been the history of the Christian church.

But In the beginning the church arose out of a very definite experi­ence of repentance and salvation. Tbe church had no great temples. There was no organization with worldly strength which men might join for thO' sake of social prestige, or for the sake of power.

The church con.ilsted of small zroups of those who had found the lew experience of salvation nd life in Christ. These groups

''met In a measure of seclusion, with the threat of persecution constantly upon them.

One can hardly think of anyone joining the church In those days ex­cept from strong conviction and be­cause the church represented h fel­lowship In something more precious than anything that the world offer­ed. Tlie marvel Is that even under these conditions the members of this early church were not always Ideal. « « «

We need only read Paul's epistles to see how even In this primitive church, where everything connected with It seemed to involve sacrifice, there were tho.se whose lives were not proof against vice and whose spirits were not free from narrow' ness.

But here in our lesson, in the record of the first gathering and fel­lowship, we have the revelation of an ideal and practice so glorious that there seemo little hope of h’a- manity rising to it. So seriously did these early Christians take the words of Jesus concerning brotherly love and the surrender of all to God, that they were willing to disregard their personal possessions, to have all things in common, and even to sell what they had so that any man who needed might be supplied.

If one' could find that quality of Christian character and Christian courage more widely exemplified the solution of life’s problems would be easy, particularly in an age when we have discovered that man’s con­quest of nature is able to provide an abundance of all that is necessary for human life and far beyond man's need.

To imagine, however, that such a state of society could be organ­ized out of a world of unregeneratc men, whose hearts and habits ade dominated by self-interest, is to trust to a vain delusion.« • •

Yet the Ideal in this picture of the early church la one that should not lightly be obscured. The church In its true character represents a fellowship of love and service with life on a plane far above that of worldly ideals and motives.

The hope of the world Is that. In a society dominated largely by self, interest, there are so many, like these early Christians, who live for liigher things. They are In the world, but not of the world. They are subject to the conditions of so­ciety In which they live, but they recognize a higher loyalty to a Master who came not to seek bis own, but to live for others aind for the building up of the Kingdom of God.

The church,! making Its growth and progress in a world so differ­ent from itself, is often colored and marred by its environment. Yet to the eye of faith there is hope m the number of those who'strive with sincerity and earnestness'to live ac­cording to the teachings of Jesus and who seek through the fellow­ship of the church to leaven the world with righteousness, love and truth.

What real hope Is there for the world apart from that?

THE IDEAL SO C lE nBy GEURGE HENRY DOLE

International Snnday-Schol Lesson-^namely; just aa .the various mem- Text, May 12: “So we, being j ijcrg of me body make one, just osevery one members one of anoth­er.” Rom. 12:5.That was a profound and aearch-

Inig perception revealed when Paul said; "So we, being many, are one body In CJhrlat, and every one mem­bers one of another.” He so valued It that he repeated It. No higher

the Lord la the soul Consider heaven, all there do the

will of the Lord and think Hia tnith. Then the will of heaven is the Lord's will and the thoughts are tlic Lord's thoughts. Now go one step further and get the mighty Hash of light

. . . - . Illuminated Paul and that heIllustration of the harmony in the ; attempts to convey to us. If the ideal society can be given. The I ^^d thoughts of heaven are the physical body Is composed of many i t,ord’s will .md theughu, thenorgans, each serving ah and all serv­ing each In so perfect order that all make one body. Reflect upon this.

The hand never rebelt against the foot, nor the foot against the hand. So of all the organs and members of the body. (Consider how the fin­gers make one hand. Conflict be­tween the members of the body Is unknown, impossible. Herein is a perfect example of what society and the whole world rhould be like.

But go deeper Into this unfathom­able illustration. In the same har­mony that members of the body serve one another, they serve the soul, the mind. The body never goes contrary to the mind It is the obe­dient servant of the man himself. Soul and body are one. Here Is the truth that Paul tried to make clear.

heaven 1s to tbe Lord as our bodies are to our minds; or In other form, the loving and think­ing In heaven is the Lord's loving and thinkiflg givtn to the angels. It is easy to conceive of this sacred re­lation of heaven to the Lord: wi are also to realize that.* such Is the re­lation of all true Christians to the Lord; for we, being many, are one body in Christ. The kingdom can make of all nationo one body of which the Lord is the soul. Then the ecstatic blessings of the life eternal will rejoice the world with harmony and peace. Jesus fervently prayed that His glory might be given us that we might be one. His measure­less love, and it alone, can make the world one in Him, on: body of which He is the life and soul.

Plans for a campaign to double the membership of tbe Manchester Townsend Club were discussed at a meeting of the club held last night

Nathan Hale assembly hall, .ere was a smaller crowd than al at the meeting last night,

iliout 50 being in attendance. Among those In the audience were several visitors from the Hartford Club.

The secretary reported that the membership of the club at the pres­ent time is 413. It was the opinion of many of those present that the membership could be greatly en­larged. Tbe discussion resulted In the decision to start the campaign.

At present the club meets twice a month In the Nathan Hale assem­bly ball. With the approach of warm weather and the closing of the schools the plan was advanced to hold only one meeting a month, out of doors. This question will be considered further at the next meeting.

takes him to Appomatox, and then describes his final years at Wash­ington College, in Lexington.

We come, then, to Mr. Freeman’s summing-up ot Lee’s character — that character which so many writers have found deeply and irre­sistibly mysterious.' Mr. Freeman sees no mystery in it: rather, he finds things crystal-clcar.

Lee, he says, was simply a CThrls- tian gentleman. In the exact and literal meaning of those two much- abused words. He was Incidentally a military genius, to bo sure; but the key to the map is to be found right there — he was a CTbrlstian gentle­man, fully and completely, every moment of his life.

We do not need to take this on Mr. Freeman's word. The record makes it abundantly clear.

MAKES CORNERS SUFFER,Memphis, Tenn.— (AP)— The su­

perstition still persists in these parts that $2 bills bring bad luck—un­less a corner is tom from each bill as It is received.

Henry Meyer, a railroad cashier, recently tried to get 40 new $2 bills at a bank. The bank couldn't sup­ply him. Neither could any other bank here. He went to the branch of the Federal. Reserve bank. It didn’t have any new ones, but It did have 1,000 that had not bee.'i used much. The clerk obligingly said he would look through the stack and pick out the 40 cleanest ones.

Out of the 1,000 bills, Meyer said, there wemen't 40 that didn’t have at least one corner torn away.

One of the model munlclpaUy* owned and operated electric light plants which the Manchester Select­men visited on their recent tour of three Massachusetts cities on April 8, was the Diesel plant In Hudson, Mass. According to Information given tbe Selectmen the Hudson plant had to weather the criticism of the people of the community for six years before it was started aa a municipal plant.

It was nearly a half century ago Hudson first entered the municipal electric light field. The Hudson Electric Light (Company was organ­ized by a small group of representa­tive citizens in a small shoe shop and was operated successfully for about five years. After five years of operation as a small. Inadequate unit, some of tbe leading citizens of Hudson conceived the idea that It would be good business If the town of Hudson could purchase the elec­tric light plant and operate it muni­cipally.

A violent agitation arose, lasting over several years. There were many objectors, many who could see no real value in public ownership of utilities. However, in 1891, a cam­paign was launched and the town voted to buy the Hudson Electric Light Company. The asked price was $18,000. Then ensued six years of litigation deferring the actual sale until January IS, 1897.

The first ten years of existence under public ownership was shaky. The management of the municipal electric light plant was not under any definite control, outside tbs borders of possible political influ­ence, until the passage of an act by the Massachusetts legislature In 1908, and which was accepted by the Town of Hudson, creating a board of public works, sewer bosu'd and water board, also governing tha superintendent of streets. This board since 1909 baa bad general supervision of all these utilities and by law the light and power depart­ment is under the control of the manager appointed by this board.

Connecticut baa no such law as Massachusetts under which munici­palities owning electric lights plants may operate without political inter­ference. 'The jurisdiction over mtml- cipal plants in this state lies wholly with the voters. It is entirely pos­sible for the voters ot this or any other town operating an electric light plant to exercise their legal option on the turn of any political cycle, unsealing qualified admlnls- ctrators and tending to disrupt tha operation of any established utllitiy.

The early difficulties of establish­ment and management of the Hud­son plant arc outlined in the des­criptive circiilara given the Select­men by Lclond D. Wood, plant man­ager. Tbe circulars state that tbs plant was first operated aa a steam generation plant with a small 60 h. p. Ball engine coupled to a small alternator and street lighting gen­erator. The company, soon Mter changing hands, built a new steam plant with sidetrack facilities.

From 1897 until 1918 boilers, en­gines and turbines were added until at the outbreak of the World War in 1917, the station consisteo of four boilers of a total horsepower of 580, two engines of a total of 1200 k. w. capacity. The Hudson municipal plant was forced to tie in with an outside transmission company In 1918, utilizing 1000 k, w. privUeges and so operated until 1928, a period of ten years.

The foregoing- accentuates tha fact that Hudson’s early troubleh were such, that for a period of tsn years—from 1918, at the close of the World War—the 1934 annual report of the Hudson municipal plant citeo the company operated parallel with an outside electric company, utiliz­ing the privileges of 1000 k. w. energy provided by this componyi Ii further proves that the progres­sion of this so-called model plant, for the first 21 years of its existenoa was fraught ■with difficulty and In­decision.

Long before the contract with tha "outside company ” bad expired, in 1926, to be exact, again quoting th# annual report of the company, “It was -seen that the boilers and en­gines were fast deteriorating, and that a definite method of power generation would have to be decided upon.”

For a period in excess of tea years the Hudson municipal electric company produced 1200 k. m. or less, depending upon the peak de­mand, aided by the parallel line serving Hudson from the outside. An investigation, lasting a year and a half was conducted, resulting in the decision to scrap the existing steam generated plant for n Diesel plafit. The Commissioners decided that a Diesel plant would beat suit the needs of the town and In April of 1928 a contract was signed be­tween the Hudson commissioners and the Diesel engine manufactur­ers for the purchase of the engines. The plant was remodeled at con­siderable expense for tbe lutallo- tiOD of the Diesel engines.

Today the Hudson Diesel engines are six years old. There arc stilt $28,500 bonds outstanding against the company with $20,093.39 {^d In on construction bonds Issued in 1928. And —"believe It or not" — quoting Mr. Ripley, the tax levy of Hudson, Mass, for 1935, recently voted, jumped from 35 H mills ta 40)4 mills. ‘

BANKING BILL

Perh^ia it is not even now; per­haps ths thieves who have been emptying clothing atorea have taken the long chance of carrying the stuff all .the way to New York or Boston: but the odda would seem to be in favor of a shorter haul.

At all evfnta. It would seem to he the part of wisdom for municipal and atate police to make a spcdal point of ruiKlng about for clues as to the existence of a recently estab­lished large scale "fence." Per­haps they might discover It In some of the fly-by-nlght garment “factor- lea” which have been coming and going with such frequency In the last few years.

It does not, really, signify much to the people of the country whether the administration Banking Bill, adopted by the House of Represen­tatives yesterday, passes the Senate or not—whether It becomes a law or falls.

Large peacetime profits rise to fantastic rates in war, when pro­ducers of essential materials, In common with makers of guns, ships, and explosives, hold the government up for all they can get.

That's the background built by the Nye Investigating Committee for ita proposed wartime limitation of individual incomes to $10,000 and corporation profits to 3 per cent and for Us forthcoming plan to control the munitions business In normal j'ears.

A dogged, determined committee, steered by the brilliant chief inves­tigator, Stephen Raufhenhush, has plowed up 400 pages of testimony and exhibits which rank the Investi­gation even ahead of Teapot Dome.

The navy has coat $7.000.0(X),000 Klncc 1920. Whetaer the nation got ita money’s worth, nobody knows. The navy has no way of learning production coats from the private companies which lobbied naval build­ing programs through Congreas.

Nearly all the navy's ships are buOt by the “ Big Three"—the New York, Newport News, and Bethle­hem companies.

Theoretically, they bid competi­tively—as the law requires- -on each cruiser, destroyer, or other warship authorized by Congress.

But, actually, evidence indicated intimate relationship among tbe “Big Three." Ckmsultation before bids was shown.

Laurence R. Wilder, former pres­ident of New York Ship, once hand­ed John P. Frey of tlie A. F. of L. a correct sealed Hat t l the com­panies which would get awards for certain ships—10 days before the bids Were opened.

When Wilder aought to open a new shipyard in Florida and was after an RFC loan, CXi Bardo, then head of New York Ship, enlisted Senator Moore of New Jersey and Postmaster-GeneraJ Fariey to aak Roosevelt to prevent the loan. Wilder didn't get the loan.

In wartime, it was charged. New York Ship, asked by the govern­ment to build additional capacity with government fimds and com­pensation, refuseo for weeks.

Bethlehem, while its chief stock­holder, Charles M. Schwab, was di­rector general of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, refused to build for prices accepted by other firms.

Shipbuilders were far from alone in that sort of thing. The duPont In­terests, the commute showed, were a.skcd while we were at war to build a new powder plant. They held oft for three months while fighting over the profit margin.

Other testimony said duPont profits on Invested capital during the four war years reached 400 per cent. Charges of "sti'ikc" and 'hold­up” in wartime were also made against steel, copper—whoso profita ran from 06 to 800 per cent—and other Industries.

New York Ship reported taxes of $2,941,627 for 1918-21. Internal rev­enue agents insisted the treasury had $14,561,000 coming. F'inal set­tlement in 1928 was for $5,705,000.

Hartford, May 11.— Hiatoric Pow­der HIU In Middiefleld will be the ■eene of the third annual apple blos­som festival on Friday and Satur­day. May 17 and 18, from 5 to 7:30 p. m. While Connecticut has not adopted the policy carried on m other sections of sponsoring an apple blossom festival, the Middle- field event ha.s become of state-wide Interest.

No section of New England, it Is believed, offers the visitors an op­portunity of seeing more apple bios- aoms a t one time than the view offered from Powder Hill. More than a thousand acres of apple trees slope down into the valley from tec %mw of the hill, making a spectacu- I r and picturesque setting for the

'crowning of Connecticut's "Apple Quern."

Governor Wilbur L. Cross will officiate at the crowning ceremony on Friday evening at 6 o'clock. The U. S. Coast Guard band will furni.sh music for the occasion and the wo­men of the Middiefleld Federated church will make it possible to se­cure a lunch which may be enjoyed In the midst of tee huge apple orcard.

The featival is held under tec aus­pices of the Federated church of Middiefleld and the "Apple Blossom Queen" is chosen by vote of the townspeople. In connection with the festival an apple blossom dance will be held on Friday evening in the Town hall.

Powder Hill Is the setting for the famous Lyman orchards and every­one interested in viewing the spec­tacle of thousands of trees in full bloom, an interesting program of dancing and singing—mainly by the achooi children of tee community— will be welcomed where tec mar­velous vlqw, the fragrance of apple blossoms and entertainment arc all provided Without cost.

MARKETING SERVICE FOR POULTRYMEN

T £7V -SHC/N

Buddies

The New England Crop Reporting Service at Boston, a branch of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, cooperating with the six State De­partments of Agriculture in New England, is about to establish a special crop reporting service which will include facts and figures con­cerning the commercial poultry in­dustry of New England.

It haa been the contention of vari­ous poultry organizations, argicul- tural economicts and public officials throughout New England that be­cause of tec relative importance of the poultry industry in this region there should be more accurate in­formation concerning tee extent of and changing trends within the In- Hustry.

According to a recent statement Issued by the Stete Department of Agriculture, the accuracy and value of this service as a true guide will depend very largely upon the will­ingness of commercial poultrymen to cooperate by promptly returning the questionnaires mailed by tee New England Crop Reporting Service.

Further information regarding the scope and Importance of thjs service to commercial poultryme* may be obtained from tee State Department of Agriculture at Hartford.

In 18CM Abraham Bishop of New Haven said In a speech;- "Connecti­cut has no constitution. We demand a constitution that shall separate the the legislative, executive, and Judicial power, shall extend the freeman's oath to men who work on the highways, who serve in the army, who' pay small taxes but possess no estates,' These were the uimes brought up at various con­ventions and elections until 1817.

In 1817 Oliver Wolrott of Litch­field was elected Governor. Thus, he became "Father of the Constitu­tion” and was rboaen to preside over the convention. The convention of 1618 was prepared In the same building In which the Hartford Con­vention of 1814 was held. It Is generally aeknowlc<iged thu the Constitution of 1818 was the great- aat political event of the nineteenth century.

last thirty years. An attempt was M^-'fcdson* Bali;:^ ^nd' m'^"'Chr^"'''made In 1690 to Introduce the Australian ballot. A bill was pre­sented and passeti, hut it was op­posed by the Governor. A substi­tute was provided; it was the cn- vcloyie act. The voter took a bal­lot and an envelope which were given to him at the polls. He then went to a bovith to put the ballot In the envelope which was scaled and ca-st as a vote. There was more secrecy In this method than the old open ballot which was deposited by the box tender. Party workers hung around the voting place and over- Iixrked the box in order to sec how the voter voted. In the. envelope bill this could not be done, but in some ca.ses ballots and envelopes were obtained from outside and pre­pared for the voter who took a bal­lot in.'fldc the building but put In the one that was already prepared.

On .Inne 19, 1903 a board of vot­ing eommissioners was chosen by the approval of the General Assem­bly. The Governor appointed Uie board which was to select a votuig maehlne to be used a t all elections. In 190.5 a Constitutional amendment was adopted In order to make this method legal.

Four teachers of M. H. 8., Miss Weethaver, Miss Paine, Miss Put­nam, and Miss MacLean drove to Washington, D. C„ during the week's vacation. While In the capitol city they vfalted several govern­mental “high spots” Including the Senate, where a filibuster was being carried on against the Anti-Lynch- Ing Bill; the House of Reprc.centa- tives, the White House, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, where they saw the Connecticut Tercen­tenary Stamps being made and the Oongresslonal Library.

The Smlthscmlon Institute, which holds many collections of Interesting articles dealing with American Hls- toiy. Interested all the teachers. Everyone. In Washington ueemed very courteous and ready to direct or help In every ixi.ssihle way. The teachers were a little loo late for the cherry blossoms, but neverllioless were Impressed by the Judus tree, whose blossom Is a deep pink and dog wood, familiar to most people.

On this motor irip they also pass­ed through and vi.sltcd Ml. Vernon, Alexandria, Arlington, Gettysburg, ■Valley Forge, West Point, and Annapolis, all places of historical In­terest.

One hundred and forty-five out of six hundred girls In High school here bite their finger­nails! !

Miss Feder, physical educa­tion director, compounded the above startling statistics by a scries of class talks accompan­ied hy a thorough Inspection of nails In her gym periods during the week before vacation. She had noticed quite often the varying sizes, sii.ipes. nnd colors of nails and. surprising­ly enough, many that looked bitten. With the object of cur­ing this bad habit. Miss Feder proceeded to devote the entire, week's elns.ses to talking on general nppeiirnncns, cspecinlly eniplialslzlng the care of the nails.

"We all know It Is especially hard on the girls who type, cal­culate, and go to gym," advised Miss Feder, "but that only gives us the more reason to 'watch our nails.' "

A regular eampalgn la being staged, and each girl Is to see, by "hook or crook" If she can't either stop biting her nails, or improve them. If she doesn't or­dinarily bite them, hy June!

Some remarks which we found most Intrrc.sllng were:

"Each runner has an allotted store of fuel or gly'cogen In his muscles, each has a delicate ma­chine made of tender, brittle parts that will wrench or break If mis­treated and pul lilni out of the run­ning."

"No athlete living Is fa.ster thpn the raschine he Is driving around th( oval track. Once I he fuel Is ex- periled nnd the over-hi'ated, over- wiirked mn.scio hearings are burned out, human will power Is at a ; standstill. The machine will take j

Colonial Hcliool House The next scene represents a Col­

onial scene which was modeled by the Manchester High school stud­ents. Uncomfortable seats and desks, and the tall desk, which looks like a pulpit from which one would preach a sermon, stands In the front of the room and shows us a typical Colonial school room. The nlil school bell Is lying on the desk beside an ink stand near which Is placed some large quill pens. On the wall In buck Is a huge map ot Connectlc\it from 1633-1788.

First ( heney .Mill Around the edges of the map are

scenes of Colonial times, Washing­ton. statue of Hale, Putnam learn­ing of the first battle of the Revolu-

Nathan Hale HouseA Nathan Hale landmark was

made by the Nathan Hale School showing the Hale mansion In Coven­try, Nathan Hale school a t East Haddam, where Hale taught, and the Union Grammar school. New London. Unusual busts were made by some of the Manchester High school students for this exhibit. Busts were made of Governor Jona­than’Trumbull by George B'lscher, Thomas Hooker by Kenneth Ted- ford, Israel Putnam by William .McPartland. Governor John Wln- throp, Jr. by George Fisher, and a statute of Nathan Hale by Adelaide Howell. Two scenes were made idiowlng the whaling Industry which was thriving in New London, one of which shows a 26-lncb whaling veasel used for chose and attack.

The Trade School exhibit shows old tools compared to modern equip­ment. The modernistic home de­signed by Krannart Kilpatrick la placed In the exhibit to show the difference In the homo of today and the home of yesterday.

mlniuature scenes. The Webb House parlor, which was made by Barnard school, shows three ladles quilting. Children of the Lincoln school de­signed the Interior of a Colonial kitchen with its fireplace, dishes on the wall, cradle, table, and gun over the fireplace. A public meeting room was made by the Washington school. A section of the room in a Colonial meeting house, which was known as the "Gallery” was used to discuss matters of local interest.

Moving on we see Colonial Le­banon, which was designed by the Hollister Street school. This Inter­esting scene pictures Lebanon Green about 1776 at which time the Green WHS the winter quarters for six French regiments In command ot Count Rochambeaiu Around Uie Green are the tiny houses of the people, the village church, school, am the war office next to the small, log-cabin barracks of the soldiers.

SEE “AUTUMN CROCUS”, SMITH COUEGE PLAY

•Miss Helen Page, a member of the faculty, and Mary Alice Andrews, 36B saw “Autumn Crocus" by C. L. Anthony a t Smith College, Thurs­day evening.

Emily Andrews who. as a former member of M. H. S., was very ac­tive in dramatics, played the part of Audrey with ease and workman­ship.

The performance may not have been Identical with the one which was given in New York, starring Francis Ledcrer and Lillian Gish, but was well done. The play was coached by a senior and the male parts were taken by the professors of the college.

j The scenes during the entire play were laid in 'an Inn In the Austrian Tyrol.

Many of the students atended the performance and It was Interesting to sec everyone busy knitting be­tween scenes and acts.

The Smith College Dramatic As­sociation has but fifteen members, all of whom are senifirs. The girls work for almost four years to per­fect themselves in the theatrical arte in order to gain admission. Each of the members is the head of a specific department such as coach­ing, scenery, make-up. etc. When a play Is to be produced, tryout.s tor the parts are held for the , entire student body.

The association has Its own little- theater to pu* on Us productions.

TENNIS TEAM WINS ITS THIRD VICTORY

Drabs West Hartford 5 to 0; All Players Performed Admirably.

Thursday afternoon the Manches­ter high school tennis team turned In their third consecutive victory, dnibbing West' Hartford, 5-0. West Hartford was unusually weak; In fact this is their third defeat this year. S'Jevenson. West Hartford captain and only veteran, was their be.st player, forcing Della Fcra to go 8-6 in their second set. All the players on the Manchester team performed admirably.

Urbanetti drubbed Lilly of West Hartford 6-0, 6-0; while Della Fera was beating Stevenson 6-2. 8-6. Stn- namon then came through with an­other victory over Perry to the tune of 6-3, 6-2. In the doubles, Man­chester's second double team Georgettl and Della Fera defeated West Hartford’s best doubles team 6-0. 6-2. Then Urbanetti and Sin- namon downed Perry and Fallow. 6-3, 8-1.

This puts Manchester a t the fop of the League standing with two wins and no defeats, having previ­ously defeated Bristol 3-2. Man­chester has also defeated the Alumni 4-0. In all three meets the playing of Captain Lebro Urbanetti has fea­tured, although his opponents have not been the stars, as the opposing team usually has placed their beat man .second. The doubles team of Urbanetti and Sinnamon also has been undefeated so far. The team as a whole has played well although they have not yet developed to the quality of last year’s team.

It is highly Improbable that tbe team will go undefeated this year, aa they meet some stiff opposition, especially next Tuesday In the Wes­leyan Freshman. The Frosh have a very strong team which Includes as No. 2 man, H. Lander of Meriden wh'j reached the quarter-finals of the State tournament last year.

Pequot and Mohawk Tribes Struck Terror Hereabouts

The Dutchman, Adrian Block, the r first white man to navigate up the - Ct'AnecUcut rivet, found various i tribes of Indians on the river banks between what la now Hartford and ; Long Island Sound. In locating their | vHlagcs the Indians, for the most • part followed the seacoaat or river courses. The dlvialons and connec- tiens which existed between various tribes were extremely loose and be-: cause of this tact It was sometimes j difficult to distinguish one from i another.

M eak TribesThe Qulnnlpiacs, a tribe of In­

dians who Itveu along the shore from ' Milford to Madison, used tbe bay of | New Haven and small rivers empty-1 Ing Into IL as fishing places. It Is > known that some small clans In­habited the coast from Greenwich to Fairfield, but they were so weak and insignificant that not even their names are preserved. In tbe region which is now Fairfield lived a small tribe called che Unkowas. Because the names of the same chieltalus ap­pear In the records of both Stratford and Milford, It Is an accepted fact that tbe Paugusetts, who inhabited Stratford, Huntington, and sur­rounding towns, and tbe Wepa- WBUgs, who lived opposite to them on the east bank of the Housatonlc, were one tribe.

Podunk IndiansNorthwest of the Paugusetts, In

the region of Newtown, Southbury and Woodbury lived a rather In­significant tribe callec tbe Pata- tucks. A large clan, commonly called Tunxls, lived along the Farmington river, about eight or ten miles we.st

of the Connecticut. A tribe, after­ward called the Wangunhs, resided In the region between Hartford and Middletown. The Podunks Inhabited what are now the towns of East Whidsbr and East Hartford. The ter­ritories of the Western Nehanttes extended from the Connecticut river, eastward alonfi the rhore, to the Nehantlc river. The Nlpmucks, who.xc principal seats were In south­ern Massachusetts, were scattered □omewhat aparseiy throughout Tol- land and Windham counties.

Pequota WarlikeThe largest tribe of all, and also

the most warlike was the Pequots, who inhabited New London count; fi^'m the Nianttc river to ten mil cast of the Paucatuc river. Tli Pequota arc believed to have mlgral' C'l from the region about the Hud- aon shortly before the arrival of tha English. By terrorizing the sur­rounding tribes, a large part of the Connecticut v.-Oley fell into the hands of the Pequota. The Indians ot western Connecticut w e e cruelly oppressed because they had enemies on both sides of them. The Mohawks who lived In eastern New York and were part of tiio Iroquois nation, a t­tacked the Indian villages in Con­necticut from t;me to time. They sent representatives annually to Connecticut who Isued orders from the great council a t Onondaga. The Pequots were rever visited by these representatives but on the contrary demanded tribute for themaelves, so that Indians of wester-. Connecticut gladly joined forces with the whites when they came, or cowered- under their protection.

The letter following In praise of the local hospital haa been submit­ted by Talbot Mimdy, noted author, who now resides In Mancheater: The Editor The Mancheater Herald, Dear Sir:

May I have space In your col­umns for an expression of opinion? I hope, and sincerely believe, It Is not a minority opinion, and ^ rb a p s there Is no need to express It a t all; but the Impulse la Irrealsttble to air my view of aomething that la better than T ever thought a local Institution could be, In a city of such moderate proportions aa Man­chester.

t refer to the Manchester Memo­rial Hospital, which, I have heard, la In need of funds. T don't believe that In the w-hole wide w-orld there la a better money’s worth than this community receives from Its Invest­ment In the Manchester Memorial Hospital. That It paya no cash dividends 1 all to ths good. I t U not a commercial proposition, but an Investment In civlltzed aelf-re- epecL Notlilng la better than that. In this wrorld, in which so many other, sometimes more glamorous things prove disappointing. In the Manchester Memorial Hospital we have an Institution of w-hlch a far larger and more prosperous com miinity might rightly be proud.

Today, it goes almost without saying, the natural reaction of a harassed public to an appeal for funds Is to say “let the government do it!” The almost countless agen­cies of government are spending billions on public projects, some of which are no doubt excellent, and all of which, perhaps, may ulti­mately be good. But those are new projects, new ideas, and we don’t know yet what their outcome will be.

There la no “perhaps” about the Manchester Memorial Hospital. There it is. It haa made good. It has made astonishingly good. Quite modestly, it stands aa a true ex­pression of the spirit that haa made New England great. To let It fall w-ould be cataatrophlc. To let It per­ish slowly of neglect and lack of In- •tcreet would be evidence of failure of the old New England spirit, w-hlch has weathered worse storms than this one. I t la almost an Im­pertinence to say I don’t believe that spirit la dead. Of course It isn't dead. But I do dare to appeal to that New England spirit, and to offer my reminder that the things which are good, that w-a know, that are our owm. that we have tried and not found wanting, are better and more w-orthy of our determined ef­fort than quite a number of things whose success la atill over the sky­line.

My own subscriptibn la necessari­ly so small that I would be ashamed to send It If I did not know how many other people are also In re­duced circumstances. I have had to budget It out by Ingenious means, hut without a trace of regret or feeling of self-sacrifice. Doing It doesn’t feel like a privilege, or a duty. I t feels more like applause. I have been a patient In that hospi­tal. I know how- w-ell It is managed.I know the home-llke gentlcneaa and generous, genuine, good humor­ed and faithful care that one re­ceives from the staff of nurses. Having been a patient In rnsmy. oth­er hospitals. In many lands. I have good ground for my opinion that Mancheater should be very proud indeed of its Memorial Hospital, and of the trustees and staff w-ho have made It what It Is.

Even though very many of us. this year, can’t subscribe as niuch as decent civic pride w-ould make US like to do, surely w-e can all do our best. New England's best has never yet failed to meet and defeat any genuine need. This Is surely one of those occasions; and I hope I may he forgiven for letting ap­preciation for something grandly good Impel me to be publicly en­thusiastic about w-hat everj-body know-s.

' Yours sincerely.TALBOT MUNDY.

l€ l l u 6 n H 6 inO D gn t r o s - ; trlct. a plant to serve thie tow-nwould be email in comparison with moat utilities. For lighting and in- duattrial power w-e would require a maximum output of from 4,000 to5.000 kilowatts. Tbe average re­quirement would probably be aome- what leas than 1500 kilowatta. This means that the generating capacity of at least 5,000 kilowatts with an­other 5,000 kilowatt standby would have to be secured and maintained In readiness to assure the public ot contInuouB, uninterrupted aervlcc. A large plant such aa the Hartford Electric Light Company, having a generating capacity In exceaa ot100.000 kilowatts with a reserve capacity unlimited, and with other interconnecting steam and hydro­electric stations located miles away, does not need an equal amount of standby equipment and, therefore, la not required to make Investments for such equipment and la not bur­dened with these heavy carrying charges.

The load factor with the maxi mum capacity required, that the investment and carrying charges on this equipment spread over the yearly production of the plant would Increase very materially the unit production coet or cost per kilowratt hour.

The most economical plant to operate today la a hydro-electric station, but as there are no streams of aufficient capacity within our roach, the harnessing of such natural resources to supply our needs la out of the question. The ateam turbine Is the next in popularity among prime movers used for power gen­eration. A ateam turbine with the necessary steam boiler capacity, ex­citers, condensers and various other auxiliary equipment would be a very expensive plant. The Diesel propelled plant, a type least used by utility companies, with the nec­essary starting equipment and many other auxiliaries certainly la not the kind of plant we ahould rely on to supply our electric current.

The service which the present company has rendered to the con­sumers in Manchester has been of a very high order. I t is extremely doubtful If this could be duplicated under municipal control. The H art­ford Electric Light Company, par­ent of the Manchester Electric Com­pany, haa establtabed a record for efficient service and economical operation which haa been nationally recognized. The rate atructure of the present company has been set up after exhaustive study and year.s of experience In producing power and figuring power costa. The writer haa examined the rates of many other utilities In the state on file In the Public Utility Commis­sioner's office and also haa Investi­gated the rates of similar utilities in adjoining states, with the result that the rates of the Manchester Electric Company compare very favorably with those of other com­panies nnd decidedly to the advant­age of the consumer. The finding and decision handed dow-n by the courts In the rate case recently brought against the company bears out these facta.

The writer has also communicated w-ith pow-er plant engineers whose profession It is to study these pro- blema both from the standpoint of municipalities and utilities and it is their opinion that for a commun­ity of our size a municipally ow-ned plant aoom becomes a "political football” w-here efficient and econo­mical operation are least considered and the plant soon becomes a bur­den, rather than an a.saet to the community.

Let us settle this question by voting “No" on May 15th.„ „ R. W. GOSLEE.May 9, 1935.29 Elwood Road.

the age where we can no longer carry on wrlth aa much vigor as for­merly, have a right to look to our pastora and to our churches for sympathy and help In pushing for- ward a plan which promises so much of security not only to the aged but to the youth as well. Our club motto 1s "'Youth for w-ork, age for leisure." And when seven mil­lion flye hundred thousand w-ho are sixty years of age or over, give up their Jobs, there will be that manv of our jroutha put to work, and many of these will thereby be saved from Uvea of criminality. We glean from reliable statistics that the av­erage age of all crimlnala In our country is a little over nineteen years, whereaa before the depres­sion it was a little over thirty years. The Towmeend Plan Intends to put these youths to work and thua save a large portion of .he nineteen bil­lion dollars being spent annually by our government for crime alone.

The Townsend Plan, aa It will be explained by Mr. Nyetrom no doubt, Is not asking for one single penny from dear old Uncle Sam after all. I t proposes to lay a 2 per cent transaction tax which according to leading actuaries and economtata w-lll produce a revenue sufficient to pay each person sixty years of age or over, two hundred dollars per month, the same to be put in cir­culation each month as It Is receiv­ed. This transaction tax will not add more than ten or tw-elvo per cent to the cost of living and w-lll Increase w-agea by a t least twenty- five pet cent. The increase In busl- ness for our manufacturers and merchants w-lll take care of the tax for them ao that they w-lll notice It not a t all. I t has been estimated that there are about tw-o thousand In our towm who would b4 entitled to thle pension. Two hundred tlroea

4 two thousand equals, according to Mae Vlcora arithmetic w-hlch I studied in the old Ninth District un­der Dwight L. Bidwell, four hun­dred thousand dollars (8400,000.00) to be circulated in our town each month, In addition to what would be spent by everybody who wants to work working a t a living wage. Anyone can plainly see that with such conditions existing In every city, town and hamlet in our great country, the tw-enty-seven billion dollara spent annually for all kinds o( relief for the needy would be re­duced to a very Insignificant sum. And the aged men and women w-ould no longer be In the way but would be w-elcome guests In every home.

We Invite you then to the South Methodtat church next Sunday eve­ning where you will hear a man who knows what the Townsend Plan is and who believes In It w-hole-heartedly. Come “Argo," we want to see you there also. Don’t say, "It can’t be done,” "It’a cock­eyed" or "too fantastic." Come and think this thing through with us, there must be something to it in or­der for It to receive the Indorse­ment of so many men and women who think, and think deeply. You who are sixty and over come, you who are approaching sixty come, and you w-ho have to support the aged come, and spend a happy eve­ning together w-lth those w-ho arc trying .to solve this greatest prob­lem of the present age. or of any age.

A COMPARISONEditor of The Herald,

Dear Sir:You published an article In yes­

terday's Herald regarding the stand, w-hich our Local '2125 U. T. W. A., la taking on the possible wage ad­justment made necessary by the forthcoming reorganization plana of Cheney -Bros, and the competitive situation concerning lines of manu­factured merchandise by the firm, adding that union officials arc with­holding the nature of their propos­

als. Tbe extent of the wage cuts have not been divulged.

Workers, whose pay envelopes average from f 18 to 822 a week are said to be wrondering bow they can possibly continue to msks ends meet If a further sites Is made in the scale of their pay. I t waa *ug- gcated that one result may be, that local rentals must come dawn. I think that people generally would like to get 0 per cent on their money invested.

If rents are reduced It would make the one rent owner, with no other Income, "go to the wall." For example one home owmer In this towm whose property waa assessed in 1919 a t 82.925 with an 11-mlll tax rate, rented his six-room rent for 4 S-e per cent on tbe assessed valuation. He had a poattion and the Cheney Bros! were giving him a livmg wage. In 1-920 bUi aasessed valuation wraa raised to 83,185 w-itb a 14-mlIl tax rate. In 1921 it waa raised to 84.000 w-lth a 12-mlIl tax rate. In 1022 It waa raised to 84,- 250 with a 14-mlll atx rate. In 162:1 it was lowered to 84,225 with a 15-miU tax rate. In 1924 It was lowered to 84.200 with a 18-ralll tax rate. In 1925 It waa raised to 84.765 with an 18-miII tax rate. He then raised hla rent but yet received only 8 1-3 per cent on hla aaaeaaed valu­ation.

In 1626 the assessed valuation wa-» raised to 88, >70. with a tax rate of 13 lutlla. He then raised hla rent to 825 per mo. But yet, that was only around 8H per cen^ on hla assessed valuation. Now had he charged S41-.85 per month he w-ould have been getting 6 per cent.

The worker getting on the aver­age of 820 per week or 880 per month and paying 841.85 for a 6- room rent wmuld have" 888.15 a month or 89.54 a week on w-hlch to live and support and educate hla family. If he paid 825 for rent ho would have $55 a month left or 813.75 per week.

While tbe property owmer with a double bouse, living in one elde and renting the other six rooms for 825 per month, gets 8300 a year. He haa to pay 8227.81 for property tax, school tax, fire tax, water and in­surance. Hla Income leas his over­head expensea, not allowing for re­pairs, Is 872.19 a year or 81.38 a w-eck on which to live amd support his family. He has to buy food, clothing, heat and light the same aa the worker. But If he geta 6 per cent on his money Invested ha will have 8502.20 a year less hla ex- peuaea 8227.81 and he haa 8274.30 a year which Is 85.28 a week on w-hich to live and also repair his buildings.

In 1926 his valuation remains the same but the tax rate has raised to 22 mills on a dollar and now be haa to pay 863.13 more taxes. He has no work. The Increase In taxes leaves him 81.21 less to live on or 84.07 per week. But getting 825 per month, he has 81.38 a week so the higher taxes leaves him only 17c per w-eck.

Editor, The Herald;Some of the members of our pres­

ent Board of Selectmen have recom­mended that the Tow-n of Manches­ter purchase the Manchester Elec­tric Company and go into the bual- ness of producing and selling elec­trical energy. Even though such steps have been taken, \-ery careful consideration ahould be given to this action. by ever voter In the com-

pany, the construction of a Pow-er Plant and the operation of such a utility have not been given the proper study which this vital question should receive before being presented to the voters for action. This plan should not be considered without a careful and detailed In­vestigation by an unbiased and competent commission of engineers '..'ho arc fully capable of making cuch an Investigation and recom- : •"ndatlon.

N B Nyatroro, who Is the state dlrector of the Tow-nsend Plan, w-ill be the speaker. Thlh la the first church In our town to open Ita doors for the discussion of thla most Important and most sensible plan for the end­ing of unemployment and poverty that haa been brought to the atten­tion of the American public. I sin­cerely hope that every other church. Including the Salvation Army, will throw open their doors for an honest diacuasion and presen­tation of the gospel of Security For Old Age.

Aij appeal w-aa made aome months ago by one of the members of Man­chester's Townsend Club No. 1, for our churches to offer the club a place to hold their meeting!. Up to date, I am informed, that only two pastora have responded to tha t ap­peal, Rev. Harris of the South Methodist church, and Rev. Green of the Swedish (Congregational church. Perhaps the reason for lack of Interest may be tha t our pastors In the multiplicity of their duties have not had time to Inform themselves thoroughly upon this plan w-hlcb haa the indorsement of eome thirty millions of our voters including some of the moat noted economists In the country, and which la sure to be adopted by our government within a very few years a t the longest.

CHAPTEP. in 'Long ago Katharine Strykhvirst

had decided to .shut love out of her life as much a* was humanly po8.«'.- hle. ■

Her mother had died when die was nine. People iay, "Children don't under.stnhd. " But some ehil- dren do. Katharine still remem­bered that day with a .liuddei Bursea hurrytng to anu fro in th - old stone house; her father's racked sobs. She had understood only too well. The lovely, falr-hnired, gra­cious mother had gone. There was BO one In her place. Katharine was by nature a lonely child. A siu- eeaslon of govemea.se.- only Intensi­fied this lonehne.s.s Many night.s her pillow was wet with chlldlan tswa. Later her father bad brought her a pet; a little Calm terrier »he dearly loved. When he wa* run over by a tradesman s car Kath- ■rine had dried her tears and had aaid angrily and stoically to her- •elt: "A ll right, .1 won’t love any­body or anything -^aln."

She had tried to keep that prom- Iwt. The entrance of her .stepmother into her life, when Katharine was 13. had not really 'meant much. Katharine had been fadite to the well-dressed, plea-sant-ifaccd Bertlnc. She bad never called her mother. The second .Mrs. Stry’khurat. who had a good tigiire and a sensi of humor, hadn't tried to "win Kath­arine over" by fall means oi foul. Now. after more than seven ycais, they were friends, if not (.omplctclv allies.

So. this fine summer moinlng. When Zoe Parker, wrappe.l. ■ m thoughta of the man .she loved, ac- euaed Katharine of being a victim Of the grande pa.ssion. It is small wonder that the tall, fair girl in riding clothes Uirned on her com­panion almost angrily, denying it.

" I never heard anything so rl.lle- b Ious." Kathanne aaid.

"A ll right, all right," Zoe -oolhed her, amiling. "1 vnly thought .. you looked at nun so . ,

Katharine fluahed tc the routs o,t her hair. In .•. hleli gold ahlninieied and deep waves were Imrnialied. Back at the entrance to the utalile.s Michael was di'ep in’ a confcieiicc With one ot the men, 'Bometliing about that limp ol the de.pjile gray's.

“ You can't oee a man and a wo- a»an together,' Katharine began hotly, "without imagining

"Well, hone lly, Kaj ' cncil Zuc, Bettled In her turn, '•'anyhoily’d think falling In love V OS a disgrace "

"Well, leave me out of it, won i you?h Katharine saidWith eool dignity.

“ I ean't. You ri one ot the hlooiii- ing human race,' Zoe cried, with ii peal of laughter. All at once lailh girl* were restored to giKid humor. Michael, hearing the sound of laughter, glanced up ami smiled. Something cuii;.jlit at Kalhiirlne's heart. There was something r i> ,so darned attractive aboi •. that tall, rangy, lean young westerner when ha amlled. Those little laugh wrink- >*a about hta eye.s. . . .

'There, that'* betterl" cried Zoe. •Now, can yon ride over to the Ridge and back? I l l only lake 1,Y Btinutes. I want to talk to you."

“All . right," Katharine agreed, ashamed o f her earlier flare of tem­per. There was Ju.*t no use flashing But at Zoe. She was the mo.st amia­ble person In the world, if a trille aUly......

“But my car’s -lere,'' ahe piotest- Bd, after deliberation. 'T'll have to atop by again and pick it up"

Would Michael think she was making excuses to see him'.’ .Men were so terribly conceited. After the Other day when he had .so tudely poized her wriat and' spoken' so •harply, whc.a they were taking shelter from the storm in that way­side cabin, she scarcely knew what I to think of Michael Hr had apolo- (tsed, had muttered something in- ooherent; but they nad both been ' •elf-consclous ridlnc home later I Katharine assured herself that If | things were going on this way she ’ would have to give up her morning rides, much as she adored them. But this morning the tall westerner had been, casual and unsclf-con- aelou*, as usual, it was going to be all right. Katharine had thought with satisfaction. They could just be oomrades. Peopii wh<> said that fHendshIp— and mc*ely that was Impoasible between a man arid girl were Ju»t crazy.

Zoe piloted the little car skillfully n the hilly road winding westward

, at a .zig-zag pattern away from ' telloock. From the rise you could

back and zee the village, lying IB the morning haze, and a

o f blue beyond that marked leland Sound. Church bells in one of the steeples three

by a suburban development com­pany. There would be Moorish villas and golf tees where all was rustic

' .simplicity nowKatharine dreaded these Incvlta-'

ble "Improvements." But meantime she could enjoy the peace of the un­touched countryside. Below she could see the blenched roof of Mtcbacl's atablea. The thought of him, moving and working quietly in that peaceful place, brought a lit­tle glow of contentment to her heart. He wax nice; he did like him. But it would spoil everything if Zoe— and the real of the world—would think she'd fallen In love with him.

"Tfa about Gibbs," Zoe was say­ing. in a amall voire, breaking Into her reverie

Katharine had lived through half a dozen more or less Intense love affairs, vicariousiy, with Zoe. She was only six months older than the

I little creature hcsldc her, with the■ roumi blue eyes and flashing white teeth, hut Katharine told herself she

, felt old enough to be Zoe'* grand­mother. at the very least,

"1 1 haven't forgotten him." ZoeP'oteeded "Mother and Daddy— everyliorly think. I have. But 1 c an't Kay. I just can't "

She went on, pleating the folds : of her handkcrcMef. "I can't think ; about anything else." Shs looked I suddenly very .-solemn, her little girl■ face taking on lines of intensity.

"K.'cy, I've got to see him."; "He he's away," K.itharine miir- I murc.'d. mpdequatcly i "I know It. He's got to come back

-or else I'm going to him.""Oh, you can't do that," Kath­

arine protested. What a mesa thla I was! Poor Mrs. Parker had confld- I ed to Bcrtlne Strykhurst only the I day before that Zoe hod had a whirl ! on the boat, and In Paris, too, and that the affair with Gibbs Larkin

j was definitely off. Parents! thought I K.atharlne, suddenly and angrily!! Whatever did they know about what i went, on"

"I think you re b'einK very silly,"1 she caid rather coldly.

Zoe began to i ry .She cried pret- tii.v: -he didn'l twist ccr screw her lenturrn up a.- so mariy women do, .She just sat quietly and let the huge. ery.Hlal drops gather and fall, touching them every now and then with the folds of the now delicately pleated handkerchief.

Katharine felt a .wrge of Impa­tience "Oh. do stop that!" ahe said < ro.ssly "Gibba la almost 40 and

I he'll he fat m no lime at all. And you know wed enough he’s had

I heaps of affairs with married wo- . men. too .N’o w-ondei your mother I is against him! Sh" l;a,s a perlect right to hr "

"But I lo-ove him," Zoe protested, blue eyes swimming, -cd lips poiit-

' mg " i ’ ou just won I understand.‘ Vou’re so so hard about It, Kay. •lust wait till VOII fall. . . '

" I f * nothing lii do with me," KnUmnne .said "Why drag me in'.’ "

"Von II know some day," cried Zoe I with spirit, moppioc her.eye*. 'Then■ you’ll be sorry . c ,i wre-e so unkind "1 Katharine meltecl. "I didn’t mean ! to be. hone.stlv What can I do tohelp" "

Then coide; i ni'ea usually ended tli.;. way Katlmrinc wa.s the strong­er of the two, yet the soft, yielding Zoe could usually bend her to her

! way of thinking."I thought we might get our jiar-

enl." to let us like a trip t'.gether," i she liegiui

"Hut vou've i_ii,ly hist got hack." j Katharine said,'

"I know, hill we could sav we j wanted to do .N'evv Kiiplami the iinUc|iie idmpa and .so on

I "And illp up to M.cme and si-e I tlihlec" Is that It " ■

Zly noddedKatharine 'rowned '''It* much

"She'd never suspect you," said Zoe slyly, "of deceit"

Katharine fluahed. It wa* true. Bcrtlne would think that ahe would look after 2kie properly. Well, and ahe would, too!

^ “No. I can't (asslhly do it!""Oh, Kay, darling, think about It,

won’t you?" Zoe looked as If ahe might burst Into tears again.

"I don't really like Ulbba," Kath- aiine began. doubtfully "Why .-hould I foster this affair? 1 think it would be* the worst thing you could do, to marry him. . . . "

"Oh, m arry"’ Zoe opened her eyes. "Well, Isn’t that what you’re

a lter?" ,"He hasn't asked me. but he will,"

said the younger girl with a note of soft triumph

" I ’ve simply got to get . back," Katharine said suddenly. Of course she loved Zoe a.* a staler, but this morning there was something pe­culiarly irritating In Zoe’s aaaump- tlon that she could bend a fullgrown man to her will. Maybe Gibba want­ed to marry her and maybe he didn’t. Katharine didn't know. But Zoe was aure of her powers, Katharine, from her chilly heights of superiority to feminine wilos, felt annoyed. She was rcmerabcrlug. with lightning clearness, the way Michael had .■■tared at her the other day; so angrily, almost as though he had, for an Instant, hated her! Zoe would have known wh.at to do In such a sUuatlon. ^

The little i.ar whirled about, be­gan the down grade. A t the lane leading Into the riding club Zoe obediently stopped.

"Ixiok, r i call you up later." ahe began Importantly

Katharine nodded. Then her heart plunged aickenlnglj. Something strange happened to her pulse: It wa* pounding in her throat. She was conscloug of a swift surge of rage.

Riding together, heedless of others along the path, came a man and a girl.

HoW long Is public memory and how enduring national gratitude? This question will be answered here. In the reception of the Poppy Drive. It will be an.swercd m bright red poppies worn over the hearts of ail who remember and arc grateful to those who sacrificed their live.* in the nation's zlefense seventeen years ago.

The women of the American Le­gion Auxiliary, and the members of Legion will distribute the flowera on the streets. They remember. Some of their own lie In the poppy-studded battle cemeteries in France, Ever since the war they have been devot­ing their cncrgio.s to aid those left dependent, to help those who came back disabled, and to carry on In peace for the cause of American democracy. And on Poppy Day they will give their services so that the rest of us may show that we, too, remember

"The i 'Y’caring the poppy Is (he individ- , mil act of tribiile to the World War ; dead. Everyone can wear a poppy, i The Au.xiliary will offer them in I exchange for a contribution for the I welfare ot the war's living victims.I A dime. If that is all the person. Is jnhlc to give, or a ten dollar bill. If I that amount can be contributed. It I Is all the same. The .-jame symbolic j poppy will be given m exchange. It j is not the amount that counts, It is j ti;c willingness to help, and remem- ;bir.

The money uhicli goes into the I coin boxes of the Poppy workers on j the day of the sale will all ho ex­pended In the welfare work of the Legion and Auxiliary during the coming year, every bit of It right here In our own town. Thus the little poppy will give us an oppor­tunity to prove tliHt our memory ami gratitude for the sacrifices made for America during the war still endures by enabling us to honor those for whom we can tlo no more and aiding tho.se yet within the reach of human help.

pect better than secord and third place thla year,” said Coach Cffiarles L. Wigren of Manchester High be­fore leaving for Kingston, R. I. yes­terday afternoon with a picked squad of twenty athletes to defend the out-of-atate tr.ack and fleld championship which the Red and White has captured two years a-run- nlng. Coach Wigren made this state­ment several days ago but did not wish to have it given publicity be­fore bis team left for the meet be­ing held today.

A Detailed Study’The local mentor’s outlook on the

ehaners of his team to gain its third straight triumph is not meant as ian advance alibi, nor Is it founded on false pessimism. Anyone ivho knows Pete Wigren knows that he isn’t the kind of a coach who makes cxcuaca for failure.*. His outkxk is based on an extensive, careful study of the <»llbre o f the compering teams and he has spent many hours In com- paring pa.*t performances in order to size up the .altuarion as accurate­ly as possible.

Coach Wigren figures that Mon-

30 points in al land points out that normally the winning team has had to have more than th.it to cop the title. In 1932, N ot! Terrace was the winner with 69 points and In 1983 and 1934 Manchester scored 41 and 68 1-2 respectively In emerging as the champion. I f the same bolds true this year and the athletes per­form as expected. either Norwich Free Academy or New London Bulkeley xbonld edge the Red and White.

The I'nloiown Quantity 'Not that Coach Wigren la resign­

ed to such an outcome. Far from it. He has attempted to take every­thing Into eonaiderarion and points out that Manche.*ter may come through for the third straight year i f the points are widely distvibuted between the competing teams and If the local athletes turn In better per­formances than anticipated. It's al­ways extremely olfficult to master mind a meet of this kind before­hand as there's always an unknown quantity to be rcckoneu with, but the unknown qiiantftv will have to favor Manchester If the locals are to return victorious today.

Kovis Is a fast hall pitcher and burns them across the platter with an imderhand motlou. A husky, strapping lad he has plenty of wbal It takes to tame opposing batters and he is reported to be considerably improved In ability as a result o f hi.* southern trip. Kovis has had experience In facing teams o f the high calibre of tho Giants, as last season be turned back the celebrated House of David team, no mean feat.

Katkaveck, his battery mate, needs no introduction to local fan­dom. He’s a natural when It comes to handling the deliveries from tha mound and his all-around ability makes him a most formidable fig­ure. Should Kovis find the going tough against the foriner world col­ored champions, C:6ach Jim Foley has t"wo veteran burlers to call up­on In BUI Jones and Bill Neubauer and a promising newcomer In Hlck- ing.

The brand of baseball displayed by the Giants is equal to that found In the major leagues and It seems certain that this outfit will give th» fans a performance to remember. Bill Jackman, regarded as one ol the world’s greate.*t colored pitch­ers. la exi erted to twirl at least a part of the contest for the visitors with Campoell or Brown taking ujr where ne leaves off.

By OBSERVERStarting from the High school to- i

morrow- at 12:30 p. m„ the Olympic 1 Soccer club will travel to New Haven to meet the Harugari S. C. : of that city in the first o f the two ' game serica for the Connecticut State Intermediate P. A. cup, and the title of Connecticut Intermediate Soccer champions, which also goes , to the winners. The second game will be played in Manchester on Sunday, Alay 19. Total goals scor­ed in both games decide the issue.

This is a crucial test for the local soccer representatives. I f they sur­vive, the honor o f having the first Intermediate champions will belong to Manchester. Stiff opposition will be encountered In the Hanigan team which has not only reached the finals of tills cup but is also tied for first place In the Connecti­cut Amateur league and is rated as a Bcilous contender for the Protec­tive Association cup.(XJmposcd o f a combination of young and old players. Reports from New Haven Indicate that they have a young center-foi-ward who la a deadly shot. He has scored ap­proximately 50 goalB this season.

Much o f the success o f the local team will depend on how soon it gets settled down to play ball. For some reason the team as a whole has not started to function properly until the opposition had gained a one or two goal lead. Then there would be a driving finish to erase the deficit and to gain the lead. That this Is not always sucesslul Is evidenced by the fact In two league games the margin obtained by the oppoalOon was retetaed. As a re­sult the l(x;als lost three valuable points to weak teams.

Manchester Green is entertaining St. Mlchael'a of Hartford tomorrow aftenoon on the Greena’ home lot at Jands Grove.

In selecting this faat. hard-hitting aggregation of ball-toasers, as their opponents for the second game of the season, the Hublardites have perhaps grabbed a Mger by the tall, and despite the best efforts of John­ny Mankus, and some o f the other outataading playera on the Green team, whose work last Sunday In the opening game indicated great form, may taete defeat rather early ta the aeason. However, It is Coach Kotch’s and Manager Hublard’s an­nounced Intention to "take ’em as they come" and the Green's sched­ule for this season Includes nothing even remotely resembling a ’ ’push' over” for the Green.

Tomorrow’s contest is called for 2:30 p. m. Thla afternoon at 2 o ’clock. Coach Kotch is putting the G r ^ team through a ariff pracUce drill, and will probably make certain changes in the team’s lineup for to­morrow.

I t ’s still a long way from Fourth ydeep ditch was cut between of July but there should be a whale ' ~of a lot o f flreworlcB at ML Nebo Monday afternoon when Manchester High and Manchester Trade’ get to­gether In the first o f two engagemente between the local schools this season. The game ia set for 8 o'clock but when it win end is a matter of conjecture i f the proceedings are anything like last year.

The schoolboy rivals met for the first time last season and what a meeting it was! In one of the most hectic and weird oontesta seen in many moons, the Mechanics wsl- loped out a victory by the amazing score o f 26 to 17. so many runners tripping around |he baaaa that a

. -------- theqaga. The second game was al- moet a duplicate o f the firsL the high school gaining revenge to the tune of 15 to 4.

Judging by the manner In which both teams have been socking the old pill around thus far this sea­son, Monday’s game should produce plenty o f hits and runs. The Trad­ers, with a lineup studded with vet­erans. loom as the favorite but the way the high sch(x>l has been step­ping It’s going to be a ball game. ^ U e r In the year. Coach Tom Kelley expreaaed the belief that 0 )acb Frank Crowley’s nine would be the toughest team on the high Mhool’s elate but thet waa be^re his boys knocked o ff Bristol and West Hartford.

hoTn ‘ hlril round really decided the battle, besides furnishing the most M elting momentn of the entire pout. A fte r bolding hia own with the cagey, cool veteran in tha first two rounds. Ambers suddenly was nailed vrtta a short right hand, fol- Icwing a left hook, and went to the Mnvas with a resounding thud Too ^ r t le d to consider the situa­tion from a reclining poaitlon, Lou boiuif ed up after a three-second count, and ran sii:: cli .nio another heavy voBey. Re went down again put wa.s up and flailuig away aftur the tlmekeeper’e mallet had struck twice. The bell saved Ambers from further damage.

Recuperating rapidly in tha in­terval between rounds, Ambers car­ried the light to Clanooneri fo r the next two rounds, Jobbing; And book* Ing effectively with hts left but he

obviously wondering when Tony’s terrific right would connect again and hie pace soon alackened. Tony, cool and calculating, wasted few punches and no morion. He forced Ambers to move in and gen­erally either tied up the youngster or flailed him with a anarp attack, first to the body and then to the hea-d.

Keeping command at all times, Ctanzoneri rated himself perfectly and offset Ambers’ youthful speed by his super ring' tactics. The 29 year old little veteran had plenty in reserve for the stretch and never was in serious danger. He emerged with a painfully a it Up, caused by a glancing left by Ambers In the second round, but otherwise was unmarked. Tony scaled 133 pounds, two under the class UmlL to Ambers' 183 3-4.

Canzoneri regained the Ught- weigbt title in the same ring where he first won It, in 1930. with a one- rotmd knockout victory over A l Singer.

And now we come to what you've been waiting for with bated breath namely, our selecriona tor the Preak'^ nesa this afternoon. As we said be­fore, we planned to Ignore the race put on second thought have decided that wc haven't the heart to disap­point mir public.

We can sec 'em coming down the stretch now. Omaha is in the lead but tiring fa s t Right behind him, taaalBg neck sad neck, are Flre- thom and NelUe Flag. They’re com­ing up like the wind M d Omaha is « back. It's ten yards to theflmah. Firethom responds to the whip. He's in there by a head, Nellie F lag second and Omaha third. That s the order, dear readers, and w on t you be surprised If we hit em one, two, three? For that mat­ter, so will we.

Warren''r ig h t 8 Nellie Flag, daughter of tho famouR Nellie Morse, today wught to avenge her defeat In the Kentucky Derby when sbe faced William Woodward’s Omaha, victor at the Downs, and nine other three- year-old thoroughbreds in the 45th running of the $25,000 Preakness at Pimlico.

Beaten but not disgraced When she finished fourth in the Derby Nellie Flag came up to today’s race with both her owner and trsdner, Burt Williams, confident sbe would stop short the parade of Wood­ward’s big red horse to the cham­pionship of the division. Her work­outs this week have consisted of nothing more serious than short breezes but from the stable came the word she waa ready to accept the Issue over the one ‘and three- sixteenth mile jaunL

Although lacking some of the glamor that attended the running of the Derby, tha PresLkness promis­ed a real horse race with three oth- ei horses, which had mud kicked, In their faces at the Downs by Omaha, opposing the Derby winner. Like Nellie Flag, E. R. Bradley's Box- thorn, Mrs. Walter M. Jeffords’ Commonwealth and Mrs. Dodge •Sloane’s Psychic Bid were left far behind as Omaha roared through the stretch but each owner was con­fident that there would be a differ­ent story today.

Of tha six horses yet to clash with Omaha only Walter M. Jef­fords’ Firethom. like ‘ he Woodward colt, a mediocre performer as a Ju­venile, was given a chance to be In front at the end o f the journey. He will run coupled In the betting with Commonwealth.

The decision of the party confer­ence, it was said, virtually assured Senate approval next week of the ten-month extension.

King’s Conunent■'ll' the House changes this,” com­

mented Senator King (D., Utah), "It will be hung up here In the Sen­ate Indefinitely. If they send It back with a Richberg tag on It, It will be here Indefinitely."

The resolution which the Senate Democrats agreed to support would eliminate price-fixing In almost all codes and place outside the code structure all business which docs not cross state lines.

Donald R. Richberg, chairman ot NRA’s governing jioard, has recom­mended a broader Interpretation of interstate commerce.

The possibility of a prolonged o c ioversy was given serious con­sideration in the capital In view of the fact that House Democrats al­ready had decided to seek a two- year extcns'on of the recovery act.

DENY MOBIUZINGAddla Ab^ba, Ethiopia, May 11—

(A P )—The Ethiopian government today requested Filmier Mussolini of Italy to declare his government’s Intentions toward the relationship of the two nations.

The request was a renewal of de­mands of April 17 and May 1 bear­ing upon the arbitration of questions under dispute, neither of which brought any reply from Italy.

Ethiopia asked April 17 that an -Interpretation of the Italo-Ethlopian treaties be submitted to arbitration as well as responsibility for border Incidents along the Eritrean fron­tier which started the trouble last fall.

The May 1 demand was that arbi­trators bo designated. Emperor Haile Selassie’3 government now Is awaiting the result of the next League Council session and officials reiterated that no military steps have been taken by this country.

Italian reports ot Ethiopian mobilization and the massing of war materials were categorically denied.
