NEW BRITAIN PLANS PLEASE NEW YORKER Interested in Methods of Local Amer- icanization Bureau—Local Boy May Adopt Mecthods. Becoming favorably impressed with some of the modern methods of teach- ing Americanization used by canization Director James E. O'Brien and his assistant, Iver Axelson, a former New Britain boy now in Am- ericanization work in New York will try to have the same methods adopt- ed in the Empire City. Mr. Axelson, who is visiting his folks on Stanley street, has oeen 1aterested in Ameri- canization work in New York ever since he left this city Hearig that a new Americanization director had been appointed here he went to the local bureau last night and attended a session of the Italian- American classes. Miss Esther Mil- ler, one of the teachers, demonstrat- ed some of the new features of teaching Americanization which are proving so popular and which Mr. O'Brien was instrumental in devel- oping. Mr. Axelson was so well pleased with the system that he said he is g0ing to present the idea to a meet- ing of Americaniation directors in New York next week.

A Junior City was organized at the Chautauqua yesterday morning at nine o’clock under the direction of Misses Viola Wagner and Dorothy Blackburn. Municipal officers were elected by the children and will ad- minister the affairs of their juvenile city for the balance of the Chau- tauqua week with as little turmoil and strife as possible. Those who will head the community are as fol- lows: Mayor, Carl Ramsey; law and or- der commissioners, Thomas Loomis, Philip Davis and William Atwood; city clerk, Dorothy Parker; police, ; Louis Landon, Charles Dehn, Louis Dehn, Walter Herman, Bliss Clark, | fJohn Unwin and Oscar Stienke. « The principal characters to take part in the children’s pageant will be selected later. All were given badges indicating their positions. ‘‘The Town Song,” which is expected to help in- still the community spirit .into the children, is being practiced and will be sung on the last day, which will be Tuesday of next week. A series lecture by Superintendent Kent in the afternoon and a lecture which was characterized by a woman commenting upon it after the per- formance as “simply wonderful, I never dreamed it was anything like this,” was given in the evening by Leslie Willis Sprague. Two concerts were rendered by the Shirly-Leadbet- ter Concert company. This afternoon a lecture “Your Boy and His Voca- tion,” was given by Harry H. Bal- kin. = Tonight the feature lecture of the hautauqua, “Acres of Diamonds,” will be given by Rev. Dr. Russel H. Con well. Despite the fact that many lo- cal people have expressed a desire to meet Dr. Conwell, it is stated that this will be impossible. Dr. Conwell is 79 years of age, and is completing his final year on the lecture plat- form. He does not feel equal to meeting large crowds of people at his age and cannot see anyone. He will be driven to the tent in time for his lecture and will leave on a wait- ing automobile as soon as he finishes his talk. TRUCK STOLEN HERE IS NOW WORTH MORE Returned With Some Extra Parts—Is Thoroughly Overhauled—Claimed Worth $100 More. The old saying that, “It's an ill wind that blows nobody good,” is ex- emplified in an unusual manner by the return to the Farmers Milk com- pany, of this city, of the Vim truck which was stolen from that concern early in July. The truck, which is one of a num- ber of cars taken by a group of men whom state police are confident are an organized band of automobile thieves who have been operating in this and nearby states for the past three years, was worth at least $100 more at the time it was returned, than it was at the time it was stolen. When found at Wallingford, the truck had been, thoroughly over- hauled and cleaned by one man in the gang who is said to be a good mechanic. The body had undergone some improvements and was painted; 2 new windshield was installed as were new lights, front and rear. The engine was overhauled and cleaned. All the old parts were left in the hody of the truck and these were returned by the rolice to the milk company, thus giving them some extra parts. The only loss sustained by the milk company is the cost ot hiring another truck for abeut six weeks while the one owned by the company was missing. Three men are mow awaiting trial in superior court under $1000 bail and one man is under $500 bail, charged with being implicated in this and other thiefts. TO DOUBLE ATR MAIL WEIGHT.

Argentine Official Has_ Conference With Delegate From De Valera. Buenos Aires, Aug. 19.—Laurence Ginnell, envoy of the Irish republi- cans in Argentina was received yes- terday by Foreign Minister Pueyrre- don at the foreign office, but Ginnell explained later to The Associated Press that it was strictly a private interview. He said he did not at- tempt to present his credentials from Eamon De Valera as he realized their acceptance would mean the recogni- tion of the Irish republic, which he could not as yet expect. Mr. Ginnell declared he had in- formed the foreign minister of the situation in Ireland and had voiced the hope his mission to South Amer- ica eventually would result in the recognition of Ireland by the repub- lics on: this continent. HOT FIGHTING REPORTED. q Spanish and Moroccan Troops Said to Be Engzaged in Bloody Battle. Madrid.

Stories upon stories have been writte1 in various magazines and napers on this subject and all seem to about agree on the subject—that jazz is on the wane and is dying. Local dancing teachers, orchestra leaders and musicians have been in- terviewed and as far as can be learn- ed, jazz music is still popular in New Britain and it is destined to be so for a’ few ars more to come. Li Old_ Fashioned Waltze. Jamcs F. Kitson, dancing instruc- tor, says he does not think that jazz will be popular much longer, although he admitted that this form of music stayed in style longer than what he thought it would. “You can't beat the old fashioned waltz,”” Mr. Kitson said, “and most all of the dancers of today who do the fox trot and one step, make a very poor showing when it comes to executing the waltz pro- perly.”” Mr. Kitson also added that new music may come and go, but the old waltz will go on forever and it is destined to soon become popular again. 3 | chestra at ihe Lyceum theater, said that although jazz music is not played so much during the showing of the feature pictures at the theater, jazz music is still popular. Miss Murphy has played at the Lyceum for several vears and states that the vaudeville acts which play at that house today have as many popular and jazz pieces to thewr turns as they did one and two years ago when jazz was sup- posed to be at its height. During the shorter reels and for comedies noth- ing but jazz music is plaved and often times the audience will whistle the refrain of the piece while the odches- tra is playing. In the opinion of Miss Murphy, jazz is still here to stay. Sale of Jazz Records Leland Pierce of the C. L. Pier Music Co. on Main street stated this morning that popular pieces were sell- ing as fast today in proportion to the amount of business done, as they were last year. In the opinion of Mr. Pierce, howe the original Dixie- land jazz music is dying out and no longer popular. The so-called pop- ular music is still greatly in dem: although Mr. Pierce states that there is a greater call for good and classical music today than there was a year ago. At the Grafanola shop Mr. Warner, in reply to a question, stated that he thinks the sale of popular music is holding its own. “Of course,” he said; “the sales today are not as large as they were a year ago but this is due to the present depression and not be- cause jazz is one the wane. Persons attending various dances held at summer resorts throughoit the state declare that jazz and popular music is the only sort that the dancers care for. It is also noted that when waltz numbers are played there 19, 1921. Just 43 High Cabinet Phon Regularly Sold At $100 To $225.
