A movement, deserving of even greater attention than it has been got- ting, which favors the formation of a local symphony orchestra similar to the Hartford Philharmonic orchestra is slowly gaining strength in this city. The United Parents and Teachers as- sociation is directly responsible for the original impetus given to the scheme. The plan is to procure the services of about forty of the best musical talent obtainable in the city and blend the members into an or- ganization which will be able to fur- nish music par excellence when the occasion calls. Concerts at stated in- tervals will probably be the rule if the plan succeeds. Joseph Clair Beebe, organist at the South church now has charge of the formation of the orchestra and is trylng to obtaln the consent of musicians to appear at concerts. In addition to this W. C. French, principal of the Grammar school, G. B. Mathews, instructor of music and Herman Zahnleiter have promised to give ald. The benefits to New Britain of fuch an orchestra aré scarcely to be under- estimated. Musicales at various times, produced by home talent, will prove to be events that music lovers will eagerly look forward to, and the cause of music will undoubtedly be fur- thered very much, . x s Considerable interest was aroused locally Wednesday when cards were received informing friends and rela- tives of the marriage of Dr. Frank Zwick and Miss Lurene Mitchell, of Mt. Vernon, N: Y. Dr. Zwick was born in Naugatuck and received his training for medicine and college courses at the Vermont Academy, class of '08, and the Uni- versity of Vermont where he got his degree in /medicine in 1913. He played both football and baseball during his college years and upon his coming to this city took an active in- terest in High school athletics. He is at present a member of the staff at the New Britain General hospital. Mrs. Zwick is a daughter of R. C. Mitchell, of New York and a niece of Lawyer Charles H. Mitchell of this city. The late Charles Elliott Mitchell was grandfather of the -bride. Mrs. W. F. Brooks of 48 High street entertained a number of society ladies at her home Thursday afternoon when the subject of organizing a branch of the Natlonal Surgical Dres: ings association was taken up for dis- cussion. . .. During the past week the members of the older patrol of St. Mark’s church Girl Scouts enjoyed a social evening at the church parlors. Miss Lillian Bertini, leader of the patrol, had charge of the successful affair. At the Woman's club meeting this week Mrs. Martin K, Pascoe read an interesting paper on ‘“Norse Mythol- ogy" and Mrs. George W. Traut read a paper on ‘‘Sagas and Folklore.” «now Miss Flora Humphrey of the Red Cross stamp committee reports that to date there are a number of per- sons who have failed to make re- turns. It is hoped to have a com- plete report next week. 'HAIR COMING OUT? | rorsamarre- i —— Dandruff causes a feverish {irrita- tion of the scalp, the hair comes out fast.

WANTS TAX REDUCTION Mayor Quigley Hopes to Be Able to Reduce It to 18.3 Mills in Place of 19.6 As At Present. Mayor George A. Quigley has called a special meeting of the heads of the various departments to be held in his office on the afternoon of January 20 when there will be a general discus- sion of plans for next year. The mayor wants each board to economize as much as possible and yet accomplish everything that is nec- essary, and in this manner hopes to cut the tax rate from 19.6 to possibly 18.5. Among other economic measures, the mayor thinks that the board of public works may be able to get along on less money this year. He feela that with the greatly increased cost of all materials, to say nothing of the larger wages that must be pald to all laborers, it would not be in the best interests of economy to plan for the paving of any more new streets than are absolutely necessary. In this re- spect, however, the mayor would want BABY COLIC A THING OF THE PAST American Mothers Have Be- come Wise Mothers can end baby colic and up- set stomachs by a few doses of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. It is a positive help to indigestion, prevents ' gas and settles the little one’s stom- ach as nothing else can do. You can easily see the baby's condition speed- ily improve for where before twas pain and distress, soon all is smiles. good nature and restfulness. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup is made for children only, not a grain of “dope or a drop of alcohol, the form- | ula right on the bottle. It cannot do a particle of harm and it always does a lot of good; even the leading physi- cians prescribe it avith success where all other remedies have failed. It sure {s a panacea for the habies, Mrs. Winslow’s: Soothing Syrup is used and recommended by thousands of mothers, who have given it the bardest tests and are all loud in praise of the one preparation they can bank on for sure results. Get a bottle today mother; join the rarlks and reduce the *Colic Percent- age,” . give baby a chance and the Whole family ‘will have peace once again.

By 'economies in some boards and the balance in the treasury enough money might be saved to permit the additjon of more permanent firemen and other fire department improve- ments and at the same time reduce the tax rate to some extent, the mayor thinks. It is to secure the expert opinion of each department in order that a comprehensive plan may be evolved that the special meeting has been ‘called. MASONIC HONE NEAR REALIZATION Gampaign iaunched to Raise Funds for New Building | Preliminary plans for the raisin of $50,000 for a new Masonic ?n?llv:l‘IE ing meeting' of a. committee allied with the Masonic. hall committee in the Masonic rooms last evening. ' It was decided to put. into operation a plan similar to the one' recently car- ried out to raise funds for the local Boys' club although of course Masons only will be approached for subscrip- tlons, A share of stock in the Ma- sonic hbuilding corporation = will issued at par and it is by the sale of this stock that the Masons. hope to ralse the amount needed to insure a permanent home for Masonry. Land Purchased. * There is at the present time sev- eral thousand ‘dollars in the treasury of the organization which has been raised by the activities of a few in- dividuals. Land on High street has been purchased and is available for the site of the proposed building. When' the money has been raised work on the building will probably be started at once and the lodge mem- bers will be assured of a large hall, lodge rooms and club rooms,’ of which | | be ! they have been in great need for sev- eral years as the body has entirely outgrown its present quarters. : A circular letter to every Mason in the city has been prepared and will shortly be sent out, telling each of the plan and asking that the solici- tor be received. The solicitors, of which there is a large number, will be equipped with pledges in order that partial payments on the stock may be made for a period extending over one year. One share of stock will be issued for each $25 subscribed. Tt is planned to raise the money in a thirty-day campaign.
