Financial WALL STREET STOCK EXCHANGE REPORTS 10:30 & m.—Resumptidn of trad- ing in the stock market after the holiday showed no material altera- tions from recent irregular ten- dencies. Domestic oils of the several speculative varieties continued to feature the conservative side at frac- tional gains but Mexican and Euro- pean oils were heavy, Royal Dutch losing 1% points. Firmness ‘was shown by minor rails and ‘'metals, but Jood specialties, notably American Sugar’'and South Porto Rico Sugar showed further weakness. Unsettle- ment in the foreign exchange market was precipitated by the extreme weakness of German marks, which fell to a new low record.

PRE-WAR PRICES AT Marvelous Resplts of Dental Su- pervision Shown by Letter A whirlwind drive for the amount needed to complete the sum of $1500 needed to establish a dental clinic in this city was started this morning and will be continued until Saturday night. Twelve solicitors started out this morn- ing to make the rounds of the city soliciting - contributions for the clinic. They are as follows: Rev. Michael Mai- ette, Mrs. Alfred Thompson, Mrs. J. H. girkham. Mrs. A C, McKinnie, Mrs. Mrs. Kenneth Sloper, . Mrs. William Rattenburg, Miss Margaret Foster, Miss Marjorie Crowell, Miss Dorothy Pen- fleld, Miss Elsie Collingswood, Fifteen dollars was added to the fund when the headquarters on West Main street opened this morning. The following letter has been sent out to various fraternal organizations in the city: Oct. 7, 1921. Dear Friend: Fathers and Mothers nowadays, as you know do everything in their power to take care of their children’s teeth. They have even the first ones filled and straightened. This assures better teeth for their children in after life. It can safely be said that nine out of every ten children in the city of New Britain are in need of dental at- tentidn and should be taught how to care for their teeth. Almost eight out of every ten of the citizens of New Brit- ain’ have irregular or crooked teeth, which could have been avoided if, as children, they had received proper treatment. The story .of what Bridgeport has done. for the teeth of its 15,000 children is an interesting oné It appropriates annually $40,000 for this work and the results have been satisfactory above all ! hopes. Decay ‘has been reduced one- third.” Failures to pass school examina- tions have been reduced one-half—a startling gain in efficiency. The death rate of the children from scarlet féver, measles and diphtheria has been reduc- ed more than 70 per cent. because the infection has been cleaned out of their mouths. During the influenza epidemic of 1918 the death rate of Bridgeport was the lowest of any city of similar population in the country. New Britain, as yet, has made no effort at all in this line. Yet, beyond a doubt, it is a constguctive work that will accomplish more for health and comfort, and efficiency, than any other one thing the city could do. Dr, Osler, a famous medical man, has shown that more diseases are brought dbout by neglected teeth than by any other cause. Of school absences, 40 per cent are caused by tooth decay. What a splendid thing it would be if every little; boy and girl in New Brit- ain could have such attention. And yet;, it is. possible, even if the parents re too poor. . s " ¥om, ‘of ‘course, “redlize the importance of such work here, and have read in the papers of the proposed dental clinic and dental education, which we hope to have for the children of this city. + Will you felp us to start our . clinic? We know that you will be glad to have a part in this work, and we assure you that your subscription, whether /large or small, will be {§reatly appreciated. Kindly send your check to' W. 8. Howe, treasurer, 38 Trinity St/ New Britain, Very truly. yours, For the Committee. L RS R H. S.

LOGAL CELEBRATION OF COLUMBUS DAY Halian Societies Hold Reception at Turner Hall The United Italian societies cele- brated Columbus Day with commemo- rative exercises and a reception at Turner hall on Arch street last night. The speakers for the evening were Mayor O. F. Curtis, Rev, Leo Sallivan, ex-Mayor George Quigley, Colonel Al- fred Thompson, Gerardo Casale, and Professor Chiodi. Mayor Curtis spoke of Columbus as a 8hining example to men in America who wish to'.succeed; Father Sulli- van spoke of the spiritual side of tHe life of Columbus; ex-Mayor Quigley said that the late war made a blood- bond between this country and Italy; and Colonel Thompson pointed Colum- bus’ out as an inspiration fo every Italian in this country to succeed. | _S. G: Casale made an. address in {English, and scoréd the agitators and radicals who are trying to disrupt the nation. His speech, in part, follows: Columbus is the first personage in the pages of modern history. Colum- bus it was who locked fast the portals of the Middle Ages and emerged tri- umphant in the new era. Full well has he been called America’s first white citizen. The lesson of Columbus is the les- son of faith untrammelled and una- fraid. The faith that peers into the’ darkness of the night and discerns the cohstellations of light shedding their rays on the shadows of the h@iman soul. The faith of human rea- sbn in the Qivine guidance that leads man from the valley of doubt to the heights of hepe, It is such a faith that we must have today if we are to emerge from the shadows of these uncertain days and achieve America’s true destiny, . the light of the world. It is with such ideals enunciated in the constitution which the fathers ordained as the fundamental law of the republic. Let your faith be strengthened by the contemplation of these immortals. Let your confidence be unshaken. by thé’ appedrance of strange obstacles.” Annihilate those false prophets, the ungrateful wretches who came to these shores penniless, lived under the pro- tection of the flag and prospered and ROTARIANS GREET MANY NEW CITIZENS Men Gather for Luncheon at Elks’ Club Leon W_ Sprague, president of the New Britain Rotary club in a short after-dinner speech today cordially wel- comed more than 40 new American citizens as residents of this city and country, The meeting held at the Elks’ club on Washington street this noon was acclaimed by members of the Ro- tary club to have been the best ever held since the formation of that organ- ization. Each Rotarian had one of the new citizens as his guest at the lunch- eon. Judge George W. Klett presented the certificates of citizenship. John A. Erickson and Philip Pirone, two of the new citizens, gave: short talks in which they thanked the Rotary club. Howard Bracy reet, director of Ameri- canization in Hartford was the speaker_ Mr.. Bradstreet told the men that they came from countries which were ruled by a throng into a country where liberty reigns. But the men were warned by Mr. Bradstreet,K not to take chances but t¢ learn the law of responsibility, as all laws cannot be made by congress, the states as- semblies or common councils. B. T. Bryan of Boston, general cam- paign manager of the Andrew, Swift company will addréss the meeting next Thursday to be held at the Elks’ club. The Rotarians are promised an, interesting talk. H. . NOBLE HALE AND HEARTY AT SEVENTY (Continued From First Page) the world of industry, Mr. Noble said: “Work hard, think hard, play hard. Work alone is not sufficient. You must think, you must concentrate. Do not let ygur mind wander. The busi- ness man who does real thinking must have control of his mind, and by following such Ppolicies, ‘he will surely win.” He also stated that “big business offers unlimited ppportunities to men who do their work tnoroughly and intelligently. That is a positive fact. The man whose work ‘must be . gone over by others because they have no confidence in him- is not only a drag on the payroll, but he also slows up the entire organization and séon severs his ¢onnection with both. Attention to detail is imperative. In addition to accuracy a man of ambition should possess the merit of being willing to work overtime in cases of emergency with no expectation of immediate re- ward. The man who balks at work- ing overtime when occasion demands will never reach thetop; he will never become an executive or hold a posi- tion of great trust. I am telling you something that is true, something be- yond our control, a law of natural now brazenly preach doctrines of dis- content and unhgaval. Denounce thpse opportunists who thrive on the ills o1 the body politic. Purge yourselves of all industrial, ‘intellectual, and politic- al parasites, in order that your pro- gress in American democracy may ad- vance unhindered. Columbus discovered America. The fathers made America. It now re-* mains for us to make the Americans of the future. To aid us in this task we shall need the faith and fértitude of a Columbus. Let us live the lives of normal, clean-minded Americans. Let us inculcate our children with a love for the suitable principles upon which this nation was founded, and with a respect for the law that guards those principles. Let us resolve that the Italian contributor to American democracy shall be worthy of the great navigator. . The last nimber on the program was a spirited address by Professor Chiodi of Italy, in Italian. He spoke of Columbus as the Italian Ulysses and said that his name should be forever on the pages of history in letters of gold. f VASSAR MONTH CAMPAIGN New Britain Graduates Will Begin Ac- tive Work Tomorrow in Effort to Add to Endowment Funds.

By constant application to his work, Mr. Noble rose from the humble posi- tion of bookkeeper, became an ex- ecutive, and later was selected secre- tary and treasurer.. Afterwards he was elected president by unanimous vote of the board of directors and it is said that he has been more responsible than any other individual for the suc- cess of the corporation. With this sentiment all his associates agree. Besides his activity as a manutac- turer, Mr. Noble is connected with many other interests. He is- director of thé New Britain National bank, an active member of the Horse association of America, with headquarters in Chi- cago. He is also president of the Belt Buckle society, with headquarters in New York city.

TRADE SCHOOLS OF STATE GATHER HERE Idea Is to Better Athletic Conditions C. L, The State Trade School Athletic Conference which is meeting at New Britain today has found considerable support among the vocational schools | of the state. To date, nine schools have sigpified their intention of send- ing representatives to the conference. The fact that our present depositors are con- stantly introducing friends and acquain- tances here, gives us daily evidence that our efforts to develop helpful relations with our depositors, meet with their approval. We can serve you with the s‘me care. It is proposed to take up the for- mation of a league of schools of the state and to find means for promoting - better athletic rela- tions between .the schools. In the 1ast there has been considerable fric- tion. at times because of differences of opinion due to, lack of universal regulations. It is° hoped that' th> conference may be successful in set- tng forth these matters clearly. Invitations ‘have been .sent out -to many of the schools and it is de- sired that thesé and other vocational schools will be sufficiently interested lo send representatives. The conference began its session at eleven o'clock today. - A luncheon was served at twelve o’clock. While it is lioped that the conference may be cnded today, it is altagether possible that it may be necessary to continue into Friday ‘Thd following schools have signified their intention of sending representa- tives: Stamford Trade School, Dan- tury Trade School, South Manchester Trade School, Torrington Trade School, Bridgeport Trade School, Mer- iden Trade School and Boardman Tiade School.
