Andrews, Today's meoting of the New Brit- ain Auxiliary of the McAl Mission in France took the form of a lunch- eon and all-day sewing affair in the chapel of the First church. Seventy- five members were in attendance; five new life members and 8 active mem- bers were admitted, making the total membership 196 with 14 new life members. A delicious luncheon was served at 30, Miss Frances Whittlesey pre. siding. There were 150 articles of clothing for the sufferers of France completed during the day and made ready for shipment to the distribut- ing depot in Paris. Miss Whittlesey, in turning the luncheon into a businegs meeting, stated that she believed the brain was active at that time as at any other. lelency was conserved and two things were actomplished almost si- multaneously—satisfaction of the in- ner person amnd satisfaction of the spirit, New Britain Praised. Miss Whittlesey stated@ that there were fifty women working for the McAl “box" at the moment at a meeting at the Baptist church. She told of hearing from Mrs. Kelley, president of the association in Amer- ica, who epoke in this city recently, and said that Mrs. Kelley assured her that she had scarcely ever spoken to a more responsive audience than that which greeted her here. Subscrip- tion to the McAll Record was sug- gested by the speaker. Miss Cordelin Chamberlain read a report from the distributing depot at Paris which told of the great joy the American McAll boxes had brought to the suffering refugees who passed through. Thirty-one cases of cloth- ing have been received, said the re- port, and pathetic were the expres- sions of gratitude given by these who came shtvering with cold and depart- ed warmed in body and heart. Of special interest was the description o® the aid@ given little babies, formerly suffering from constant cold; then warmed by the clothing there given them. More Clothing Needed. Miss Chamberiain told further of the need of morg clothing for men, women, girls and children. “A touch of humeor was injected Into the seri- ous consideration by a repetition of an appeal from the Paris depot for soap. With this appeal as an inspir- ation the Auxiliary will call its next meeting a “Soap Meeting’' to which each merfiber is expected to bring a cake of that article. Mrs. F. G. Platt spoke of the play to be given Monday and Tuesday evenings of next week under the aus- plces of the Y. W. C. A. to help fur- nish funds to enabla that organiza- tion to aid the giris in finding suitable places in which to spend their vaca- tione. The ability of the Wellesley club to furnish candy to those wishing to purchase it was mentioned. The new life members admitted to the organization are: Mrs. Ernest Cooper, H. C. M. Thomson. J. B. Wil- bur, Jr., Rev. Henry Maier, Robert Russell. Choose Patronesses . For “Springtime” The catchy music of ‘‘Sprimgtime’’ is heard all over the bulldings these days.

The board of directors of the Con- necticut state farm for women sub- mitted to the general assembly its re- port for the period between October 1, 1918 and June 30, 1920. This is descriptive of the farm and the cor- rectional work carried out there. The superintendent, Anna M. Peterson, points out these needs: 1. An educational. vocational recreational building. 2. Erection of several cottages to house 25 girls each. 3. Conmstruetion of a good within the premises. 4. Employment of a psvchiatrist, that the ipstitution may be relieved of care of mental deficients. The total commitments were 114 for the period. Of these 57 had no occupation at time of arrest, 11 were domestics, 10 factory workers and the others of varied emplorment. The average age Of inmates was 26 vears. It took $56,511 to runm the institution and the report showed 21 cents on hand in this account. The invest- ment by the state in the farm for the period was $106,648. When Speaker Huxford called the house to order Congressman Tilson was on his restrum. Can't Take Over Bridge. The roads, bridges and rivers com- mittee reported that “the state is not a financial condition to purchase and take over the county bridge now ing built between Windsor Mcksjd ‘Warehouse Point,”” and recommended leave to withdraw on the peuuon that the state @o this. The house adepted the bm placing public service motor vehicles under the public utilittes commission. Mr. Stoddard of Woodbridge ob- jected to precipitate action on bills on the calendar when the texts had not been on members’ desks for more than a day. He stopped action on a number of measures for this reason although explaining he had no ob- jection sa far as he knew to the bills themselves. Mr. Steddard epposed two bills, one amending the law con- cerning wagering contracts and relat- ing to iInterest on loans. Both, how- ever, were adopted over his objec- tions. and road (Special &to Herald). Judge G W. Klett of New Britain appeared before the committee on public health to informally oppose a proposed law for the centralization of control ever all healers and prac- titioners. He pretested that it is dis- crimipatory and would mean practi- cal re-examining of all practitioners. As an instance of its unfairness, Judge Klett explained that the bill provides that doctors of medicine need secure an average of only 75 per cent in their examination in ordgr to pass, whereas all others must have an average of 75 per cent in every branch of their work. Dr. Reeks appeared before the ap- propriations committee in favor of a money grant to the New Britain hospital. Principal White of the Nermal school was before the eommittee on education to explain the need for new Normal buildings in New Britain, to outline the plans and to show the need for more teachers throughout the state. The bill was withdrawn and a sub- stitute in which is was said many of the ebjectionable features of the original hill o eliminated was in- troduced by e 12 J. Black, chair- man of the state board of health. Judge Kiett claimed that the bill was long and that all might have an opportunity te familiarize themselves with its provisions at his suggestion the hearing was adjourned to Wed- nesday. March 23 at 1:30. One provides that, in the voiding of the payment of bets, wagers, ete., that “nothing in the law shall affect the validity of any negotlable instrument held by any person who shall have acquired the same for value and in good faith without notice of illegal- ity In the consideraton.” The other measure provides as an amendment to section 4503 that ‘“no provision of this act shall prevent any such bank or trust eompany from reecovering by an action af law the amount of the principal and the interest stipulated or interest at the legal rate, if interest | is not stipulated, in any negotiable in- strument which it shall have acquir- ed for value and in good faith with- out notice of llegalty in the consid- eration.” Measures Adopted. From the house calendar adipted these measures: Autherizing Bristol to issue five per cent bonds on affirmative vote of its electors. Creating a board of, building com- missioners in Meriden.

McMahon lays blame for the dissafis- faction arising out of last I‘nda\s city meeting to President F. S. Cham- berlain of the board of finun(‘e and taxation, and to Lawyer M. A. Sex- ton who stood in the way of the mat~ ter going to the polls. Mr. McMa- hon’s statement is as foHows: “Of all the men in this eity who might be blamed for the failure of last Friday night's city meeting there is no one mere at fault than Fred- erick 8. Chamberlain. I saw Fred Chamberlain Friday morning and explained the difficulty of having a fair and impartial expression of opin- ions+on low taxes and the tyo pla- toon. I was down street Friday aft- ernoon and I saw Michael Sexton going into City hall. I followed and looked into the office of the mayor where I found Michael, Fred Cham- berlain and the mayor. The mayor, I had been speaking to and I knew that he was ready and willing to do anything that was right. Michael used his legal mind. He told the mayer what the people would do to the high taxes at the polls and what he thought he could do at the city meeting. Then Mr. Chamberlain was a completely changed man. When Mr. Chamberlain came out I asked him what they were gzoing to do and he replicd, ‘We’ll push it through.” T told him that it couldn't be pushed through but he answered, ‘Well we're going to do it There's the story of how the whole thing was railroaded throug! Mr. '\lc‘\kahon has announced his intention of being present at a meet- ing of the charter revision commit- tee next Monday and to those who are interested he promises to tell the complete story of how the high taxes were railroaded through at the city meeting. The matter of doing away with the present form of city meeting will come up for discussion at that time. Native Fggs, 2 doz. $1.00. Russell Bros —advt. CITY ITEMS. All Victor Products.

PAONESSA STILL GLAIMS VIOLATION States That Health Supt. Is Trying to Belog Issue in Veal Case | A. M. Paonessa, alderman from the ixth ward, today stated that ha hed to reiterate his claims that Superintendent Harris, of the board of health, had allowed the violation of a state statute when hae advised that the owner of some veal that was underweight take it to Massachusetts to be sold, notwithstanding other claims. The letter follows: March 9, Herald: . 1921. To the Editor, Dear Sir: In a recent letter ad- dressed to superintenddént of the health department and made public through your columns, I accused the superintendent of violating a state statute. In reply to this accusation the superintendent and the health de- partment te that no federal satute or no provision of the interstate com- merce commission was violated. This is a flagrant attempt to throw dust in the public's eves hoping to obscure the point at issue. It appears from the discussions of the health de- partment and the admission of ,its superintendent that a state law was violated not only with his permission but also at his suggestion. The fact that he did not also at the same time violate a federal statute is fortunate’ but has nothing to do with the case, Out state laws are made to protect out publie. Our public servants are holding office to sce that they are en- forced. Now one of these public servants admits that he permitted a violation of a state law and attempts to pass the matter over in a high- handed manner. He deserves to be censored for neglect of his duties and to be made to understand that out state laws are not his playthings. In one instance he relies on the strict letter of the law to justify his action and immediately after runs to the other extreme and tries to show that the state law should not be regard- ed. Whether or not our state laws good laws should not concern health department unless they make an attempt to have them changed. Until they are changed they should be enforced. We have competent courts within our state to interpret our laws and do not need the assistance of our local health department or even of the state dairy inspector. When the dust settles the superin- tendent is still guilty in neglecting his duty by permitting a state statue to be violaed and that is the only claim made in my original letter. A. M. PAONESSA are our Pure Lard, 15c 1b. Russell Bros. —advt. INTERESTING TALK | ON WELFARE WORK Miss Helen Wallace Addresses Woman's Club Miss Helen K.
