But the men at the front are not the only ones dis- playing heroism of the highest type; not the only ones making the great- est of sacrifices in behalf of others; not the only ones experiencing all the horrors of modern warfare. This is brought home vividly right here in New Britain for those for- tunate enough to know Mrs. Tee who is living at 56 Winthrop street has made, is making every hour out of the twenty-four, and the fight she is experiencing so that ‘“her boy” may come home, if he comes home at all, to a re-united family. It is fortunate to know her for ta know her is to know a real woman, one willing uncomplainingly to experiencc the greatest of privations for her loved ones. Her friends are compar- atively few, for she i{s a comparative stranger in the city, and is not the type to make known or make cap- ital of her heroism. While “her boy" is, making his fight “somewhere’” on the Dhlood-stained fields of Europe, is making her fight for herself, and their baby in a com- trange cit. It is hard enough to make such a fisht when equipped with all neces- sary for it, friends, money and other material adjuncts. It is doubly hard when friends are few, money is only | what comes :n as a remuneration for work and the other comforts and ne- ties are only what can be bought adl Whatever privations Mrs. Tee has experienced, whatever worry she undergoes, whatever trials have come to ler are locked in Ier own breast and can Be only surmised by those who know her. She does not wanr charity, she is not secking friends, but she do2s admit that, at times, the struggle scems hard and it is lonely. But, however dark the out- look may be, she has faced it with a brave smile that cannot help cause admiration ond has won respect. She feels that it will be all worth while, if “her bo: urvives the horrors on | tHe other side and comes back to her and “baby” again. Oftentimes silence from the other side, unce tainty as to whether tier loved one is one of the many reported as “dead” or “misking” is her heaviest burden. For a time after she was left alone she went out to work ir a laundry bu* lately has had to give this up be- cause, as her few friends understand it, she either could find no competent person to take care of “baby™ or could not afford to pay for such care. Since she has. supported herself by taking work home Mrs. Tee is boarding at 56 Winthrop street. This is her battlefield, her Gethsemane, and the scene of just as grent heroism as “somewhere in Eu- rope” where her loved one is cham- pioning the cause of the weak and doing his share to break the mailed of Teutonic miltarism and op- on. fist pre HITS DETECTIVE AND IS FINED IN COURT €hauffeur Just Wouldn't Believe Hen- and Fistler Were Members of Police I'oree. “Kidding Hartford cops” proved ex- pensive for Herbert C.

L. Thompson this morning failed to show whereby the Stanley Works acquired by any recorl owned by k. S. by the property formerly Hart on Plainville road him to that concern about ten years and sold ago. Yesterday Mr. Hart appeared before the hoard of relief against the action of the assessors in assessing him for $9,700 on this prop- Mr. Hart told the board that ago the Stanley Works purchased this property from nim but the deed was never recorded. He s that by a verbal agreement with the Stanley Works he continued to collect the rents and pay the taxes on th property until two years ago. He asked that the $9.700 essment againsy him be erased and credited to the Stanley Works. Assessors Deny Error August Burckhardt, of the board of essors stated this morning that th controversy i ay an error i He said that the knew very well that. ihe Stanley Works had purchased th property from Mr. Hart many yvears ago, but without a legal change of re- corded dceds his department could make no changes on its hooks. Saturday the assessors office receives rom the city clerk’s officc a complete ! list of dceds recorded, thereby keep- ing on their own hooks an accurate :cord of every property ownef.

This enabled Mr. Hart to pay the Staniey Works' assessment levied against him and then collect the amount from the factory. Fa office may sometimes ca embarassment to the owner alent explained today in dis Hart's case. When one owne property to another and record the deed in the city oftice, the transfer is valid and binding between the two principals. Inasmuch as the deed on record how- ever, is still in the name of the orig- inal owner any suits brought against him may be protected by attachment of the property in ‘name, even though he has sold it.
