922 XMAS TREE. INSEARCH OF HOME Yuletide Emblem Loses Site ad Another Must Be Found Where will New Britain's municipal Christmas tree stand this year? The Chamber of Commerce directors are worried. The pride of the city over the yuletide season is its evergreen tree with the golden star of Beth- lehem surmounting it and its myriad twinkling, red, green, blue and other colored lights. But where will the children stand to sing their publie Christmas car- ols? It is obvious the old site is gone. No more will the 40 foot monu- ment of spruce ornament the southern extremity of Central park, That site has been requisitioned by the health department and like the old town pump the Christmas tree's. favorite | site has given way to the demands of a growing community. But the city will have a tree. A long time ago the Chamber of Com- merce directors voted to purchase said evergreen token of the Christmas spirit. Mrs. J. A. Traut, to whom all credit for the beautiful custom in this city is due, was authorized and forth- with did purchase a tree. Now the tree is the property of the city, the Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. Traut or somebody. But it is all dressed up and has no place to go. North of the monument on Central park the park commission has plant- ed some expensive imported bulbs from Holland. Again the Christmas tree is out of luck. South of the monument, the only available space is inadequate. The Chamber directors wrinkled their brows and puzzled their intel- lects over the problem at the regular Monday luncheon today, but to no avail. The site of the proposed new hotel was mentioned. W. L. Hateh, who is chairman of the building committee was unable to state wheth- er r not construction work will be under way at that time. Objection was made that because of the hotel project it could not be permanent. Some directors said it was the only logical place. The South Congregational church lawn was suggested, but no action could be taken because the officlal board of the church has not been ap- proached. i In the meantime the committee of last year, with A. 8. Jourdan as chair- man and Mrs. J. A. Traut as advisory chairman, was declared re-appointed and the committee will discuss the problem at greater length. Superintendent Stanley H. Holmes of the school department, was invit- £d to lunch ‘with the directors next Monday and explain more about Am- erican Education ‘week, a program which was published in The Herald several weeks ago. .~ R. W. Poteet of the Stanley Works, ¥ member of the traffic bureau, was elected to represent the Chamber at a New England rallroad consolidation imeeting in Hartford tomorrow. There was much informal discus-: ‘ slon about program advertising and the failure of some members to abide by the ruling. The by-laws prohibit members advertising in programs, booklets or publications having less ‘than 12 regular issues per year. | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1922, the mouth of the Ohlo 69 more, to the mouth of the Red river lnnther‘ 147, thence to the Gulf only three N City Items Large coats for large women at Dgsse-Lelands —advt.

Beer Is Provided in Bill Re-presented to Congross, Washington, Nov. 20—~A soldlers bonus to be paid in cash from taxa- tlon of 2.75 per cent. beer and cider was proposed in a bill re-introduced in the house today by Representative Hill, republican of Maryland. The measure modifies one introduced by Mr. Hill during the last session of congress which provided for four per cent. beer and 12 per cent. wine. The new bill provides settlement of a bonus in three equal cash payments an June 1, 1928 1924 and 1925 and Mr. Hill declared the beer and clder tax would take care of the outlay which he estimated at one and a half billion dollars. A tax of 20 cents per gallon on beer and clder is stipulated. Representative Hill said the local option feature of his former bill was omitted “because Mr. Volstead has officially stated that cider containing three per cent. of alcohol is not in- toxicating and not prohibited under the Volstead act and because the pas- sage of this bill in no way disturbs the dry laws of Kansas and states having similar prohibition laws to those of Kansas,” ‘while at the same time it permits New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, Illinois and . other states to have the beverages.” MAN, 60; DROWNED IN TUB Clifton Resident Accidentally Loses Life in Passaic Bath Passiac, N. J., Nov. 20.—Anthony Sinnon, 60, of 88 East Orchard street, Clifton, was ’accidentally drowned in a tub at the public baths last night. One of the attend- ants, George Zwicker, who made the discovery, pulled the man from the tub and then called an ambulance from St. Mary’s hospital, but the sur- geon after working over Sinnon for some time, was unable to resuscitate him. Sinnon was married and leaves a wife and family.

The immense and varied physical resources of Africa are virtually un- known to clvilization, says Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, author of the report, because previous researches were made fqr private or government- al use, and the results were not pub- lished, He regrets that the popular conception of Africa was derived from journalistic aecounts. He found evidence to convince the most skeptical that Africa is the “undeveloped treasure house of the world,” with every colony possessing precious metals in commercial quan- tities and possibilities in agriculture, animal' husbandry and water-power that scarcely have been touched. Misconceptions Four general misconceptions are| limiting investment of capital in Af-] vican industry and agriculture; ham- pering the efforts of colonial govern- ments, and discouraging the support of missions, Dr. Jones continues. The first concerns natural resources and | ditions of the continent, the third the improvability of the people, and the fourth the BEuropean and American influences. ““The most unfortunate and unfair of all the misunderstandings is tha. the African people do not giv. Mom- ise of development sufficient to war- rant efforts in their behalf,” Dr. Jones reports, adding that the con- trary is shown “by their response to the missions, governments and com- mercial organizations.” “Africans’ he goes on, ‘“‘occupy; posions of importance in every col- ony visited. There are physicians, lawyers and ministers who have completed the requirements of Euro- pean universities, and, while the number s small, it is sufficient to prove th: capacity of the people. African Men Estimated With Tasks “The clerical tasks of government, industry and commerce are very largely entrusted to young African men. The mechanical operatigns on railroads and in construction are more and more being taken over by Afri- can workmen. Every mission gives emphatic testimony to the value of the native teachers and ministers. “Nor are the possibilities of the Africans to be judged only by those| who have entered the ranks of civili-| zation, whether in Africa, Europe or America. Their folk-lore, their handi- craft, their native music, their/forms of government, their linguistic pow- ers, all are substantial evidences of their capacity to respond to the wise‘ approaches of civilization.” | Evil influences originated with the white explorer and still persist, but| Dr. Jones is convinced that the na-| tive has gained more than he lost through the white man’'s advent. “Ignorance, injustice, unrest in Af- mankind elsewhere,” he concludes.| “The only cure for the so-called ‘ris-| ing tide of color’ and the revolt against clvilization,’ heralded abroad | with such anxiety by some alarmists|gos not with his first wife, who was |evening Miss Goodwin ‘will give a talk of the present time, is in the devop- ment of genuine and sincere co-opera- tion of peoples of all races, based upon an education of the native mass- es and native leaders in the common essentials of life.” Modern Samson Foils Vamping Delilah The Biblical strong man whose strength vanished when he permitted a fair lady to bob his hair, has been a horrible example to the modern Samsoy, Sascha.

FURTHER ARRESTS IN WHISKEY CASE (Continued from First Page) highway toward Berlin, Chase Algng Turnpike. , Jumping into their automobile, the Giardinos put.out after “their man.” The speed of both cars was terrific, according to Charlie Giardino, who said that his machine traveled 62 miles an hour at times. When Stan- ley was cvertaken, he agreed to pay back the $50 but before he did so, he stepped on the accelerator and headed his machine along a different road. He was again overtaken and the next time he gave up the money at the point of a gun held at his head, it is alleged. After being relieved of the $50, Stanley went at once to'the Newing- ton authorities and lodged a, com- plaint. He said that there had been six men in the group and he was positive in his identification of the Giardinos. Their arrest Saturday night followed.
