NATURE, PRODIGAL MOULDING STATE Lavish in Bestowing Her Gilts Upon Conesticnt To the motorist who roams far from home in an effort to find pesutiful scenery comes the surpris- ing infcrmation that the Nutmeg State parts fairly easily nccess}h!e to the New Britainite are regions which will completely satisfy the longing for virgin forests and leap- brooks that send Mr. and Mrs ing long and expensive Motorist on trips. Granby, Barkhamsted, Hartland, Colebrook River, Riverton, Pleasant | i Valley and Winsted each has its un- oxplotted features which should ap- peal to the tourist. Different types of scenery, if beautitul views are the goal of the expeditions, are found in each of the districts named. Granby gives to the auto- mobilist & vista of beautiful and prosperous tarms, spreading through ‘he east branch of the Farmington River. Hartland lends its tangled wildernesses and towering moun- tains to those who are seeking soli- tude. Barkhamstead presents beau- titul views of the Farmington Riv- ar and has, within its boundaries, Compensation Reservoir which is one of the prettiest large bodies of wa- ter in New England. Colebrook Riv- er, situated on the west branch of the Farmington river, holds VIEWS: o, ppe yn o thunder storms be- ar which rival in beauty those which adorn the national parks in the Far ;.30 "y oever, since every camp is | cocks on West, the boulder strewn river with is bolling, hurrying water. giving the effect of a jer stream.

This, in brief, is the belief of Mrs. John B. Henderson, noted leader of “In the name of a poor kind of freedom,” says Mrs. Henderson, “the American flapper, in indecent ap- parel, threatens not only America, but the world itself. “In certain foreign countries | American women are considered un- desirable and even dangerous. In other countries respectable families bring up their young women with the very greatest care. “In_China, American women are thrust aside as teachers or com- panions for their young. Mission- aries are discredited. “In Japan, American business flappers are invading the land, and in one case, policemen were called for Japanese relief, says a Japanese journal. “In Ttaly, the Pope of Rome fis an active ecclesiastical chieftain with banner flying for moral right- cousness. A proclamation in the Osservatore Romano, the official Vatican organ, broadsides against the American film industry now much too often a representative of flapperism. “The glory of America has been not only its ideal manhood, but also its ideal womanhood—the latter intelligent, efficlent, largely self- supporting, 99 per cent free of drug habits, and above all inherently and naturally respectable. “That former high stanfard of American women now needs a re- adjustment. “How much longer must one en- dure public streets. filled with wom- —— e — d to the knees—as evi- denced by carefully selected stock- ings of flesh color; high heeled slip- pers, upsetting the natural balance and rhythm of the spinal organs; faces painted beyond the trade sig- nal of the former underworld” This | occurs not only in public strects and drawing rooms but in business offices and industrial establishments every- ‘where. “Do not our sons, husbands and fathers now need protection from our women? “It is natural and proper to lpok one's best, also to desire the &d- miration of men. Poor fools! Not to know that the best of men hate a brazen disrespect of modesty and the proprieties generally; they give a certain attention, but seldom mar- ry the kind here indicated. “For three years American re- spectability has waited patiently for a desirable change from French fashions in women's apparel. We have had atrocious French fashions before, tight corsets, long heavy skirts, high heels, etc. But in America they never before were in- | loose waists are easy. There is ne reason why American manufactur- ers assisted by French artists should not supply the world with the most beautiful and approved of women'r apparel. . “Let independent America now become a world leader for norma’' health, efliclency, and propriety. “Let eriployers employ only wom- en properly dressed. Let schools and colleges, women's clubs, the press, individual leaders, become the alljes *‘Aux Armes Citoyens!" “Fashlon is a tyrant but America is not a good place for tyrants.” The land at the southern tip of |Manhattan is known as “The Bat. tery” after the Whiteside Battery, consisting of 92 cannon) Tt was erected during the closing years of the 17th century.

X-RAY, GAS and OXYGEN PARDON US, BUT—MAY WE TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT OUR NEW 7.STORY BUILDING? Why A It's Both Bank And An Office Building When the patronage of 23,000 customers forced us to build a bigger home, we didn’t have to tack four floors of modern offices on top of our “three banking floors. Certainly not. We could have taken the same money and put up a monumental, all-bank building, letting the office floors go. \ “But wait a minute,” we said to ourselves. “New Britain’s a big, rich city. It needs more good office dations for space. The foun- our bank will sup- port several additional stories. A bank that’s really in step with a live city shouldn’t over- look achance to boost it along.” And the T, Byild eAnd Help + Build n—we just had a suspicion that some day, at the rate we've grown in 12 years, we might need an of working quarte selves. 7 Everything told extra floor rs for our- us not to hedge, but to put up a real building. So, ladies and gentlemen of New Britain, allow us to intro- duce you to a bank and office building that expresses our at- titude toward our own future prospects, and testifies to our faith in the future of New Britain as well.
