Southwick, a of the United States Chamber o! Commerce, of Washing- ton, D. C., was the guest of the Ro- tary club at the weekly luncheon giv- en at the New DBritain *Machine fac- tory lunch room tpday. Mr. South- was called ubon to give a talk relative to the work of the Chamber & Commerce. He briefly told of how the United States Chamber of Commerce is one of the greatest ‘“‘non-profit paying” organizations in the country. There are about 1,400 of these organizations in the country with over 200 on the Atlantic coast and through these or- ganizations over 800,000 Dbusiness men are represented, he explained. Captain Southwick, speaking of the present business condition of the world, said he expects that conditions would again become normal in a short time. Rev. John L. Davis, pastor of the Trinity Methodist church, was the next speaker. He had as his subject “Character.” The talk by Mr. Davis was one of the most interesting heard by Rotarians at their meetings. In giving a definition of the word *‘char- acter’” Mr.- Davis said, “Character is theemark of man. Character is what the man really is while reputation is what you think the man is.” SHOOT AT CLERGYMAN Belfast Captain representative Promincnt Orangcman in Made Target of Sinn Fein Bullets— One Man Wounded.

Washington, May 5.—Sailors are bigger eaters than soldiers. That's the reason the Senate Naval Affairs com- mittee had to add $8,000,000 to the House naval appropriation bill in the item for rations, bringing the total up to $29,000,000, instead of the $21,000,- 000 approved by he House. These facts were brought out when a complaint was made to the Senate committee that the army paid only 43 cents a man for a ration, whereas the navy was asked 68 cents a man. Naval experts defended the increase on the ground that better ‘and more varied food was required for sea life than on land. The committee looked into food costs and finally split the difference, fixing the individual ration cost at 60 cents. TO HAVE CAKE SALE."
