The Kensington Grammar school was closed this morning on account of ting a nurse before this time. John E. Lamb, chairman of the Red Cross committee, stated today that he took up the matter with Miss Stack of the state department about a. month 4go and that she assured him that Plainville is the first town an the list to bave a visiting nurse. Nothing came of it. however, and Mr. Lamb again consulted Miss Stack and learn- ed that it is a very dificuit matter at the present time to secure a nurse for this work. This town filed an appli- cation for a nurse several months ago and received . promise that the first availabie nurse should be sent to Plainville. There are several other towns in oCnnecticut on the waiting list and none of them have as yet been assigned a nurse. The local ed Cross committee has in its treasury betwcen $2,000 and $3,000 to be used to defray the expenses of a public health nurse or visiting nurse as ‘he public has learned. The work o the nurse will be to safeguard the health of the children in the schools and to visit the poor familles of the town who find it difficult or impagsi- ble to secure medical attention. The chairman and members of the Tted Cross committee feel that critic cism in this matter as directed at the committee’s work is unjust and Mr. Lamb believes that with a proper un- derstanding of present conditions on the part of the public the criticism will cease. Concern’s Tenth Annjversary Saturday was the 10th anniversary of the incorporation of the Empire Electric & Manufacturing Co. The concern was incorporated on Janua 31. 1910 as a result of a merger be- tween the Empire Electric company and the Benjamin Lamb Machine company he firm was capitalized at 0,000 with a paid in capital of $1,- 500. The incorporators were Benjamin Lamb, John E. Lamb, H. E. Propson, Joseph F. Lamb of New Britain and W. H. Johnston of New Yor! The concern manufactures electrical fit- tings. Only three of the original in- corporators are now affiliated with the concern. The are John E. Lamb of this town; Joseph F. Lamb of Lan- ders, Frary & Clark, New Britain, and w. H® Johnston ew York. To Raise Church Debt. The congregation of the Methodist Episcopal church have inaugurated a campaign to raise the church debt which at sthe present time _totals about $1.600. A committe of 12 members has been appointed to raise | the sum by subscription. The cam- paign was started at the services y terday. The church will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, by the burning of the mortgage, if the pres- ent arrangements are carried out. To Train Teache All the Protestant churches of this town have approved a movement for the establishment of a union teachers’ training class to develop Sunday school teachers. The class is now or- ganizing and it is planned to hold weekl day,-February 18. The class will be under the supervision of Mrs. Frank Stevens of the Connecticut Sunday School association. The place of meeting and further details of the plan will be announced later. May Make Alterations.

FEARED “SHOCK” So the French Removed “Bust of a Princess” Until Minister of Instruc- I tion Passed By. Paris, Feb. 2, (Havas).—Authori- ties in charge of the independent salon where works of art are being exhibit- ed, caused considerable excitement on Wednesday when they removed Bran- cusi’s copy ‘“Bust of a Princess” from the plact It was asserted they feared it might “shock’” Andre Hon- minister of public instruction When the sculptor arrived at the salon on Wednesday he found his ex- hibit missing, and, surmising that thieves had made off with it he de- nounced the officials in charge for neglect in guarding the plate. Later when he found the bust had been re- moved by the authorities he declared i he had exhibited in New York with- out exciting any adverse criticism. After considerable discussion the bust ‘was replaced but by that time M. Honnorat had passed through that section of the salon. STRIKERS PLACE BOMBS Wreck One Train in South America to Kill Workers Who Are Breaking Strike, Buenos Aires, Feb. Z.—Dispatches from Tucuman, northwest Argentina, report the explosion ncar there of three dynamite bombs under a train on the Central and North Argentine railway, wrecking two coaches and in- juring a number of railway workers and a soldier. The bombs were placed on the tracks where the road- bed ran alonz the edge of an em- bankment, and it is thought the de- sign was to overturn the train. It is said that the bombs were poorly con- structed and badly timed as other- wise it seems probable the entire train carryinz 300 workers, would have been destroyed. The perpetrators are believed’ by the authorities 1o have been strikers from the railway shops. In Belgrano, a suburb of Buenos Aires, a bomb believed by the police to have been placed by striking build- ing workers badly damaged the home of a building contractor carly today. The explosion injured the contrac- tor's wife who. when awakened sud- denly, saw the fuse of the bomb burning mnear a window, and went toward it. thinking the carpet Rad caught fire.
