Paul’s Dramatic Society Adds TDaurels--Improvement Society Whist Tonight—Lyceum to Meet Tonight— | to Brickmakers Busy. Final preparations are being made = at the local schools for the state con- vention,. which will be held in New Haven, Friday, May 5. This conven- tion is for all the schools which are under state supervision and will be held in the state normal school. The teachers and Superintendent J. H. Dows had considerable difficulty in , picking out the children who are best fitted to represent the town. The en- tire expense of the trip is born by the state and the following children -will represent the town: Lita Cowles, Rose Kiniry, Helen Nelson, Ruth Graham, Léna Padelli, Gretchen Larson, Stelle Golon, Aida Martino, Cathryn Gulong, Margaret Corr, Francis Griko, Jose- “ phiné Orsie, Marian Hall and Mildred Kalen. The program for the convention fol- lows: Morning. 10:30—How to secure results in arithmetic, L. K. Chance, superintend- ent of Watertown schools. 11:00—Demonstration lesson in ~ arithmetic, grade 1, Clare Rice, North Haven. 11:15—Lesson planning, W. S. Dak- in, Hartford, state inspector of super- vision. 11:45—Demonstration lesson, Bessie Curroll, North Branford. Afternoon. 1:30—Address, Charles D. Hine, sec- . retary of state board of education. 00—Public speaking. 0—Folk dancing, Adele Murray, Berlin. The public speaking contest, will consist of selections, that have been part of the curriculum of the upper grades of the local schools and is not especially prepared. Four students of t Keasington Grammar school have “. beea selected to compete in the con- test. Josephine Orsie of Room 8 will recite “How Did You Die?”; Cathryn Gulong of Room 7 will speak on “The ngels of Beuna Vista: Marian Hall, Protect Your Family From Winter Coids with Hale’s Honey Of Horchound and Tar § 1t stops conghs betors they become seri: Strong,” and Mildred Kalen, Room 7, “The Wind and the Moon.” After a :strenuous competi- tion, the committee decided on these »four children, as ones most competent to represent the town. All the children: will participate in the folk dancing, which will consist of the Hop. Nur Ainka, German Hopping Dance, Swedish Clap-and the Danish Dance of Greeting, Rose Kiniry and . Lita Cowles have also been entered in the Highland Fling contest. All the teachers will he present at the entire meeting “and the children will' leave here at 12:56 o’clock and will return at 5 o'clock. Superintendent Dows and the school faculty feel confident, the children will make an excellent showing and bring home some of the prizes. All will compete on an equal basis, espe- cially in the folk dancing, as the schools, which secure state aid, do not have a special instructor in this branch. Room 7, “Be Play a Success. A large crowd attended the per- formance of ‘“‘Shaun Aroon”, in parish hall, Kensington, last night and every- body came away satisfied they had seen a remarkably clever performance. The members of the cast outdid the efforts of their first performance and the action of the play ran along smoothly. A local orchestra, composed of Dean and Miss Kathryn Minor, L. Hall and Miss Minnie Gibbs, furnished music prior to the play and between the acts, and their work compared fa- vorably with the evening’s entertain- ment. Afterward dancing was en- joyed until a late hour, music being furnished by Judd's orchestra of New Britain. The play was given for the benefit of the street lighting fund and although the returns are not all in as yet, it is expected a neat sum will be realized. Brick Makers Busy. Despite the inclement weather of the past few days, the local brick- yards are very busy. Labor, which is reported scarce in almost every line, has been secured in sufficient quantity and the work is going on rapidly. In some yards, over 500,000 brick have been made already the only thing nec- escary now is the advent of warm days so the burning process may be started. Whist Postponed. The whist which was scheduled for Friday at the Peck Memorial library for the benefit of that institution has been postponed until next week. As the season of Lent is passed, the com- mittee felt a two evening affair will be the proper stunt and it was decided to have two nights of play on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. It is hoped a large crowd will turn out on both evenings, so a goodly sum will be re- ceived for the benefit of the institu- tion. Grange Carnival. The two night carnival of the Red Roses of the Berlin Grange will be opened this evening. An interesting entertainment, consisting of piano and cello selections and a sketch hy Rur- ritt Grange of New Britain, will be given. Dancing will be enjoyed and the committee feels everyone presant will have a good time. That Rural Route. The agitation against the proposed change in the rural maii routes still keeps up and residents of the town are not slow to express their opinjon. That no stone will be left unturned to have the order recalled is chown Contains no opium nor anything injuriou Sold by all druggists. Pike's Toothache Drops Stop the Pain by the fact that Democratic National ! Committeeman Homer Cummings’ aid has been enlisted. Part of the work will fall on the rural carriers of New Britain and it is said a protest will 1bo sent frem that city as it is felt the new routes can not be carried out satisfactorily. Tmprovement Society Whist. The Berlin Village Improvement so- ciety will hold a public military whist in the Berlin Tea Shop this evening. Many tickets have been sold and a large crowd is expected. The pro- ceeds will be used for the benefit of the Worthington Ridge street lighting fund. Men’s Lyceum Meeting. The Kensington Men’s Lyceum will hold an open meeting in the Metho- dist Episcopal church tomorrow eve- ning. The feature of the meeting will be a talk on “The Reporter and the News” by Edwin N. Lewis, for- merly of the Herald and at present on the city staff of the New York Tribune. Solos wil be rendered by _M!ss Gladys Moffatt. Afternoon an informal discussion will be held on the proposed change in the rural mail routes. From the conversations heard about town, every citizen has an opinion on this subject and each will be asked to express his views. The general public is cordially invited to attend the meeting and take part in the discussion. Briefs. Mrs. Mary Delaney of Worthington Ridge left yesterday for Haverstraw where she will spend the next month with her daughter, Mrs. Laura Han- nigan of that town.

HETTY GREEN NOT ILL, New York, April 26.—Published re- ports that Mrs. Hetty Green, consid- ered the wealthiest woman in the world, had been stricken with paraly- sls and was serlously ill, were denied today by her son, Col.

T its ‘While it will probably take at I three weeks longer to get all of equipment in position, the Rockwell- is hopeful of begin- scale Drake company ning operations on small in its new Plainville plant next Monday One of the officigls of the that there in the | a morning. company said today is a single large machine set up | plant, and the power will be turned | on for its operation next week. Mechanics and other craftsmen have been hustling for the past few weeks to get things in shape at the factory, as the company has a large number of unfilled orders on its books and is anxious to get the plant run- ning. Much of the machinery which will be used has already been con- structed in the company’s Hartford plant and besides that which has already been brought to the factorye there is considerable equipment at the freight depot awaiting cartage §o the new building. ‘Within three weeks the concern ex- pects to have enough machines in place to give employment to forty or fifty men. Some of the mechanics now working in the factory in Hart- ford will be transferred here and it is believed a number of new hands will also be engaged. If the plans of the men back of the enterprise mature in expected fashion the growth of the local branch will be rapid and in a year or two much additional floor space will be required, making necessary the erection of extra buildings for which drawings have already been made. Ball bearings will be the company’s chief product. The demand for these is heavy throughout the country, and abroad as well, and the concerns en- gaged In this business cannot begin to fill the orders sent to them. The Rockwell-Drake people are expected to become important competitors of the New Departure company of Bris- tol, the presidency of which was held until recently by A. F. Rockwell, who is said to be responsible for organi: ing the new corporation. Tt was through him that the Woodford prop- erty was purchased as a site for the factory, and while his name does not appear with those of the officers, he is thought to be interested in the cor- poration. His son is pres concern and will be ac management of its plant. Wed Day Ahead of Schedule. Rather than consent to a postpone- ment of their wedding pending action on the matter of securing a dispensa- tion from the bishop, Miss Helen Eliz- abeth Conlon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Conlon of Pierce street, and Sidney J. H. Hemingway of New Britain, surprised their friends this morning with the announcement that they were married last evening at the rectory of the Church of Our Saviour, Rev. R. H. Burton performing the ceremony. The couple had made ar- rangements to wed this afternoon, and a number of invitations had been issued for a reception to be held at the bride’s home after the ceremony. The reception will be held as planned and the couple. will later leave on their honeymoon after which they will reside in New Britain. As the groomsman is not of thes Catholic faith, a dispensation had to be secured before the ceremony could be performed by the priest. Rather than walt for permission the couple changed their plans and were united last evening at the Episcopal rectory. They were attended by Mason An- drews of New Britain and Miss Hazel Conlon, a sister of the bride. Their wedding announcement made this morning was a complete surprise to their friends, who had been ad- vised that the ceremony would be performed this afternoon. Mr. Hemingway is emploved in the Corbin Screw factory in New Britain. His bride until recently worked in the local plant of the Bristol Manu- facturing company. Program Still Incomplete. According to committees in charge of the annual banquet of the Busi- ness and Improvement association to be held on May 12 in the Town hali, the post prandial program is still incomplete. The members hope, how- to announce the full list of speakers before the end of the week. Plans for the banquet are pro- gressing satisfactorily and the com- mittees have reason to expect that the affair will prove a big success. There is the usual interest in the ar- rangements and the demand for tick- cts will undoubtedly be big. The speakers already selected are: Charles B. Chandler of Rocky Hill, compensation commissioner for this district; Charles Pes of Hartford, state president of the Chamber of Commerce and F. T. Wheeler, pres- ident of the local association. The latter will deliver the address of welcome. Rev. J. W. Dentor will Le toastmaster. Can’t Get Material.

Special WE ‘HAVE NOW -COMPLETTE SPRING LINES OF THE “MADAME LYRA,” “AMERICAN AND “FROLASET” CORSETS THAT ARE various parts of the town, most of them in the outskirts, Permission to increase the number of lamps was given the selectmen by a town meeting held early in the winter and anticipating an order the company sent to the factory for the necessary material needed in connec- tion with their installation. While they have received several promises of shipment the metal has not as yet arrived and the management is un- able to give any definite information as to when it will reach here. The manufacturers’ last letter advised that there was a strike among the workmen in the plant and orders had to be pigeon-holed pending its set- tlement. The selectmen are anxious to have the lamps put in place as soon as possible as the sections where they are to be located need them badly. In picking the locations the select- men considered the men of the town who have to leave their homes for their places of employment early in the morning, rather than outsiders. The company claims to be just as anxious as the selectmen about fill- ing the order. They are losing money by reason of their inability to place the lights and they propose to permit of no delay in the work after the materials get here. Interest in Campaign. Efforts of the Business and provement association to assist in the extermination of the fly have created general interest in the town and dur- ing next week when the swat-the-fly campaign will' be conducted, it is ex- pected considerable assistance will be rendered by Plainville people, both voung and old, The association’s committee has done a great deal of work in prepar- ing for the war against the pest and when the campaign begins the effects of their efforts are expected to be at once apparent. The co-operation of the school children has been assured and it chould prove an important factor in the success of the movement. There will be a general distribution of literature giving information as to the fly as a menace to health and containing suggestions as to how his extermination can best be brought about. The fight will be made general for next week but it is likely that the school children will continue the campaign at least until vacation time. Principal Judd is considering a con- test among the children for captur- ing flles, the youngsters accomplish- ing the death of the largest number of the insects during the next week 1eceiving prizes. Dog Owners in No Hurry. The collection of tags intended for use on the collars of dogs, sent to the town clerk a few weeks ago is not diminishing in size to any appre- ciable extent and unless business picks up within the next three days a Im- number of dog owners will have to | coparate themselves from an extra dollar if their pets are to continue on this mortal coil much longer. Dog licenses were due on April 1 and the owners of canines were given an entire month in which to settle. An extra dollar will be tacked on the hills not settled by Monday, accord- ing to law. The town clerk has no choice in this matter which is gov- erned by the statutes although he expects to receive the usual number of complaints from those who are called upon for the additional dona- tion. There are a large number of dogs in town for which the license fee has not heen paid for the coming year and the town clerk expects to be busy issuing receipts during the next three days.

Dr. Landes, who obtained a summons charging bith with dis- orderly conduct, contends that neither has any right in his home at 140 E Twenty-second street and that his office business has been seriously interfered with by the in- stallation there of a kitchen range, The trouble dates back to Septem- ber, 1913, when the doctor and his | wife, who had been married eighteen years, had a disagreement and de- cided to separate. At that time the doctor gave his wife some property and agreed to pay her $40 a wee She and her son went to live else- where Last May financial troubles came to Dr. Landes and he notified his wife tha the would be able to pay her only $20 a week until his affairs could be | adjusted.
