Goodness of Aunt Delia’s Bread.— | | NEW BRITAIN ‘Y General Secretary Barnes Makes Report to Directors ‘The following is the monthly port of C. H. Barnes, general secr tary of the local Y. M. C. A. to the board of directors calling their atten- tion to the effect of the war upon the organizations throughout the country, | and a report from Quantico, Virginia. The report of the physical, educa- tional, boys’ department and religious and social work also follows: “To the Board of Directors: ““Gentlemc: Throughout the coun- try the Y. M. C. A. is feeling the re sults of the war as it affects its mem- bership and its employed staff. So many secretaries have been called into war service that nearly every 0~ ciation is short of men on its em- ployed force, and the membership is also affected, not only because of the number of men who have actually gone into service, but also because of | the unrest and uncertainty in the minds of men not yet called. But, however much the local work may be handicapped there is satisfaction in the fact that through its army branch New Britain is serving more men than ever before. A report from Quantico, Virginia, shows that the Y. M. A. is steadily increasing its scope of work and recommendations which we made while there, as to additional buildings, have been carried out so that the marines are now being served through three buildings. Week by week as our men, now in the service, return on leave they bring the same testimony of the splendid work the Y. M. C. A. is doing for the men of the army and navy. Physical Department. “Mr. Slater has introduced military drill into all the gymnasium classes, and this feature is popular with both men and boys. Although many of the men heretofore most active in the gymnasium are away, the attend- ance is very good. The boys’ classes show a gain over last year and the men’s classes are well filled. The bowling alleys have been put into re- &ood condition, and are being well patronized. Mr. Slater officiated at St. Joseph's athletic meet held at the Berlin Fair. Educational Department. Classes are being offered in Busi- ness English, English for foreigners, Spanish and French.

After three unsuccessful to enter the provi onal training camp for officers at Pattsburg, each time being rejected because he was under | weight, Buell enlisted in the Ameri- can Field Ambulance corps at Boston | in April, 1917, and on July 23 he sailed from New York for France, going by way of Halifax and England. Since that time he has been under fire at the French fronts where he has faced the poisonous gases and other murderous weapons with which the Kaliser hopes to dominate the world and carry out his scheme of conquest. Buell, who is but 22 years of age, is a native of this city. He received his education at the local schools, grad- uating from both. the Grammar and High schools and at the time of en- listment wis a junior at Syracuse Law school. Incidentally he was probably the only New Britain boy in London when “America Day” was cclebrated there in observance of the arrival of United States troops. Only by repeated appeal was per- mission obtained to print this series of letters as Mr. and Mrs. Buell wished no publicity. The first four briefs printed below were written the same day and at in- tervals before and after the ship had left port. They show a son's devo- tion to his parents and illustrate that well known saying “The hardest part in leaving is saying ‘Good-bye’. New York, July 23, 1917.

Dear Mother and Father:— We finally got under way at 2:50 p. m. It was a wonderful sight to see the crowds wave and to hear the whistles blow as we went down the North river to the bay. Nobody in New York knew the troops were leaving until after we got started. Then we cheered and sang all the way to the bay. Every ferry boat changed courses and pulled in near us while the passengers wished us good luck and Godspeed. It made me feel funny. The worst sensation was just as we cast off. from the pier; several women fainted, all were crying. One mother who had ar- rived too late to say good-bye to her son threw a letter and hand- kerchief to him. It fell short and went into the water. The fellow, throwing a rope over the side, slid down and picked it up. Then we had to haul him up on board agaln. He was soaked with wa- ter but was sure glad to get that letter. He said it made him feel one hundred per cent. better. This is the song we sang as the boat steamed out: It’s a long way to Parls, It's a long way to 80, It's a long way to the trenches Over the ocean blue. Good-bye America, Good-bye for a time, We'll all be eating Christmas dinner On the banks of the Rhine. We passed several ships coming from England. All were armed. It took about two hours to get out of New York harbor. It was a sad time but we all wanted the peo- ple we passed to think that we were happy and anxious to get at the Boche. I can never describe or explain the feeling as the ships started to glide away from the pier. T felt for a moment as if I wanted to jump back to land.

Engineers from the middlewest. They are to operate the trains in France. We went past Fort Hamilton and through an opening in the U-boat net, which you have read about. It is stretched across the entrance to the harbor. There were several war ships in the bay. The Naval Reserve boys were training on them. The censor may cut out some of this but I will take a chance. ‘We had dinner at 6 p. m. and afterwards took a stroll about the deck, then went into the saloon and played whist until 9 o’clock. After dark the portholes are all closed and card board put in the windows. We cannot even smoke on deck. It is said that the light of a cigarette can he seen.for one- half a mile at sea. There are curtains around each door. To go out one must go inside the cur- tain, pull it shut, then open the door quickly and go out. We steam at half speed after dark. BILL. Advertised Letters.

There is only one way to cure catarrhal deainess, and that {s by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in- flamed conditlon of the mucous Hning of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it s entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced ard this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is 2n inflamed condition of the mucous sur- faces. Hall's Catarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the sye- em.

CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. ‘Washington, Kulle Farm, Corporation Counsel Files Ruling in Case of Firemen Recently Placed on Retired List. The six men that were recently pen- sioned by the fire board will receive $100 annually. This is the text of a written opinion to Chairman A. E. Magnell of the board of fire commis- sioners, given at the request of the fire board, by J. E. Cooper, corpora- tion counsel. Of the men, at least three expected $150 annually but the new ruling will mean a slice of $50 from the expected amount. The oth- ers did not expect more than Judge Cooper’s ruling provides. Among the six to be pensioned were George Caswell, James Tormay, and Frank Humphrey. all of whom spent the better part of their lives as en- gineers in the employ of the fire de- partment. While on the payroll as engineers they received a salary of $300 a year and, when petitioning for pension, claimed that they were en- titled annually to $150 or one-half of their former pay, as the ordinances provide. At the time when the men presented their petitions they were ranked as engineers but a change was made in ordinance rules that men known as engineers, should hereafter be known as callmen. As a callman’s pay is only $200 a year there was a question as to wheth- er they should be pensioned as call- men or engineers. The fire bcard not wishing to settle the question witheut advice, voted to reter it to the corpor- ation council. BOYS' CLUB HEAD FINED R. H. Crawford Alleged to Have Struck Youth at Maple Hill School and is Assessed $5. Charged with assault and breach of the peace, Superintendent R. H. Craw- ford of the Boys' club of New Brit- ain was arraigned in Newington Town court yesterday afternoon at ;4:30 o’clock before Justice E. Stanley Wells. He was fined $5 and costs. The vic- tim of the assault was a voung boy, Wwhose name could not be learned ow- ing to the reticence maintained by the officials. As far as can be learned the as- sault took place one day last week at the school at Maple Hill. It is said that during a fit of anger Crawford struck the boy several times. ' Crawford, since taking charge of the Boys' club in this city, has been a success and he has proved popular with the boys over whom he was placed in charge INDESTRUCTO “America’s Best Scarf” The only scarf with a written'guaran_tee that actually wears six months without im- pairing appearance.
