In my recent visit to the home I found everything satisfactory and was unable to obtain a single complaint from any of the inmates.” Speaking of his visit to Cromwell Home, he said he found the location ideal, the dwelling first class, the rooms airy and light, and twenty- ren inmates, twenty-four women and three men, all of whom ‘‘seemed to be contented and satisfied.” Women Are Praised. The department commander praised the work of the Women’s Re- lief Corps the Sons of Veterans aud Auxiliary organizations as being of great assistance to the veterans in carrying on their work. Among the recommendations was one ‘that the state encampment be held either in May or June hereafter as the weather is likely to be more congenial than earlier in the year. He also urged that some action should | be taken by the national organization whereby members of distant posts could be enrolled in some other post “and retain their standing as mem- bers of the order so that they might continue to wear the button.” Membership Now 2,181.

New Britain camp, Modern Wood- | men of America, held one of the | largest attended meetings in its his- | tory last evening in St. Jean de Bap- e hall. The feature of the even- | ing was the presentation of a ban- ner to the camp for its record in- ; membership during the vear. The presentation was | made by State Deputy A. O. Palmer | of Vermont and its receipt was ac knowledged by Counsel Angelo M. Paonessa. The winning of the ban- ner is due to the husling of Mr. Pa- onessa and D. Dube and Peter Winter during the past vear. The exerci opened by Mr. Paonessa who turned the program | over to Mr. Dube. Numerous speeche were made, the guests being District Deputy J. R. Hughes of Hartford, J. Morgan of New Haven, State Coun- sel George H. Nye of New Haven and | Dr. Pace of Toledo, Ohio. After the exercises refreshments were served. AUTHENTIC STYLES -l IN- DAMONS SHMOES 26G7MAIN ST STOLEN AUTOMOBILE | FOUND ABANDONED ‘ Johmstone Vance’s Machine Discovered | On Avon Mountain—Taken Last i | Night in Hartford. i | The Hudson “Super Six” automobile ! belonging to Johnstone Vance of the | New Britain Herald which was stolen from in front of the Putnam Phalanx armory in-Hartford last nigat was found today after an all night search by the Hartford police authorities and others interested. It was located on Avon mountain where it had been abandoned. One rear wheel wa slizhtly out of place and the batteri run down. Although too much credit can not be given to the Hartford police for their diligent search for the machine it was located by an employe of tne Harrington Hudson Co., dealers for the car. The loss was reported to them and it developed that one of the drivers had seen the abandoned car beside the road. It is thought that the machine was taken .from where the owner left it with the intention of theft. An accen- tricity of the carburetor adjustment made the car difficult to start unless the driver is familiar with the ma- chine. The car started easily on the first “get away” as allowance had been made for starting it again. However it is thought that the driver hit a rock on the mountain, accounting for the sprained wheel, and the car was stalled. The tnieves then found they could not worlk the starter and ran the batteries out in an endeavor to do so. The fact that the crank had been found and an endeavor to use it proves that the thieves had no intention of abandoning it as they did. Mr. Vance fecls that he is extremely lucky in re- covering his property. RADIO CLUB MEETING. The.New Britain Radio Club hela an interesting meeting at the Y. M. C. A. last evening with President Franéis Mulvihill presiding. Mr. Yuon gave an address on his theory of sound, a subject in which the club members are much interested. Clar- ence D. Tuska of Hartford will de liver a lecture before the club later in the season, it was announced. Re- ports. were made by committees and it was announced that the book to be published - will be widely circulated. The financial success of the venture is ssured.

McKEE REFRIGERATORS The two features of a refrigerator that make it either a money saver or a money waster are its insulation and its air circulation. No expense has been spared to make the McKee as “heat-proof” as a refrigerator can be made. And careful designing of ice and provision chambers has resulted in a steady and brisk circulations of cold air all through the refrigerator, insuring the utmost economy in ice. Probably no other refrigerator gets as much cooling effi- ciency out of its ice as the McKee does.
