A succession of interesting storics illustrated with stereoptican pictures, a big room filled with tables covered | with games, and a bank where the boys deposited their pennies and were encouraged to become thrifty made about sixty boys happy vesterday af- ternoon at the first session of the Boys’ Friday club at the Center Con- gregational church. At 4 o'clock the stairs of the chapel were crowded with boys ranging from eight to fourteen years of age. “Is it all free, Mister?,” was the first ques- tion of most of the boys. Assured that such was the case, they were greatly | relieved. Rev. E. T. Thienes explained the pictures to the boys. The picture of Upper Egypt interested them., Tt was just like moving pictures they all agreed. When the announcement was made that games were in order in the base- ment of the church, the boys clattered down the stairs as if running to a fire. Mr. Thienes's assistants were there to take care of ‘them, keep them in order and teach them the games. Checkers was the most popular and a checker | tournament will be started next Iri- day afternoon. Twenty boys regls- tere'd in the contest. : ""The Misses Eda Beale and Pauliné Curtis: were in charge of the ‘penny savings bank and opened sixteen ac- counts. Mrs. Laura T. Seelye assisted the boys in their games and the boy leaders yesterday were Robert Buell, Andrew Robb, Clyde Paro, Emory Corbin, and Harvey Doolittle. It is expected that an appropriation more games will be passed at the meeting of the Young People’s socie- ty tomorrow evening. The indications are that the club will be successful and it is expected that the attendance next time will be greatly increased. C. B. UNION SOCIAL, Taxation at First Baptist Church Last Night Based on Height, A tax was laid on surplus height at the New Britain Christlan Endeavor social at the Baptist church last night. Every person five feet in height or less was charged an admission of two cents for every foot and a tax of one cent was placed on every additional inch. The young ladies, therefore, left their French heels at home. ; The musical program consisted of selections by the Philathea Mandolin club, flute solos by Lyeford Bigelow, and vocal solos by Miss Jennie Swan- son, Miss Marie Goodrich and Rev. E. T. Thienes. A social followed, during which games were played and refreshments served. Miss Anna Ward, chairman of the social committee, presided. The next quarterly meeting will be held Tuesday evening, March 23, at the Berlin Congregational church, when Rev. Scarborough of Hartford will give a talk. Jutch E WON 89¢ a hox Dutch confeclinn.

HOUSEKEEPERS BREAD SALES During the high prices of flour and the high cost of living we hope by elim- inating the cost of wrapping and deliver- ing our bread, we can sell our regular 6¢ loaf of Homemade Bread at our store for 4c¢ per loaf. This is not cutting the price of our bread. It is cutting the price we must pay from the time our bread leaves the ovens until it reaches your table. In co-operating at this time with the housewives of this city and vicinity we have the assuring support and indorse- ment of the citizens in general and the citizens’ committee on the high cost of living. We hope to continue this sale as long as flour remains at the present price. Sale will begin Thursday, Feb. 25. Respeptfully yours, HALLINAN BREAD ICE CREAM CO. NAUGATUCK HIGH 1S VICTORIOUS New Britain Receives Sclback in Championship Hopes. The New Britain High basketball five received a serious setback in their march towards the championship when they lost to Naugatuck last evening in Naugatuck, 38-20. The game was fast, rough and exciting, but nevertheless was somewhat one- sided. Naugatuck took the lead in the first minute of play and held it safely throughout the game, which was ‘ed amid the hoots and jeers of an unsportsmanlike Naugatuck crowd. Kenny, the captain and star of the Rubbertown team, scored the first followed this up shortly by a foul basket. Schade made a hasket next and this was the only field goal New Britain scored this half. As the period progressed Naugatuck put distance between their scare and New Britain’s and the half ended with the score 15-13 in Naugy's favor. New Britain's form improved some- what in the second half and for a brief period the locals looked dan- However, Kenny, Zwick and Hubbell by spectacular shaoting, again placed Naugy's score far to the fore. In this half Martin took Schmidt's place and Root replaced Dudack. The substitutions were unavailing, if the lo- cals hoped to win by them, for Nau- gatuck could not be headed.

The probable situation ig that all the | allles are now ready to quit and that means not only France and Russia, but England; that Germeny is ready to make peace with Russia and France, but never with England. The possible consequences of such a aituatlon are eagily discernible and merit the most serfous consideration by the people of the United States.” ' ESTIMATES FOR lL\luTY Would Increase City Physician's Sal- ary—Also Add $8,000 for Help.
