COUCH HAMMOCKS ALL REDUCED—PRICED LOW FOR SPEEDY CLEARANCE Berlin News POLITICS AWAKES AFTER LONG SLEEP Carter Expected to Be Candidate, Tor Re-clection NO STATEMENT ISSUED Fire District Holds Session For Tax Abatement Appeals—Mott Funer- | al Held in New Haven—Back Road to New Britain Fixed. | Friends of First Selectman George | B. Carter are confident that he will seek re-election on the republican ticket this year. At the special town meeting of Monday evening he said that the proposed building code; would mean a lot of work to “my- self if I am first selectman next| year or to whoever is first select- | man.” The political pot has started its preliminary simmerings earlier this year than in the past, politicians say, and a_ record campaign season is expected when the party caucuses bring out the vote for candidates. | With Selectman Carter instituted as & probable candidate for the position he now holds, the question has! arisen concerning the possibility of | an opponent for the nomination on the republican ticket. Ex-Judge Willard 1. Alling of Kensington, who last year was defeated by Carter at | the caucus, has made several state- ments lately to the effect that he would not seek nomination this year. Another position which will war-| rant a large portion of the interest | is the open position on the board of relief, being vacated this year by Alling. It 18 improbable, residents | ¢laim, that the Kensington ex-judge | will accept re-nomination to this board as he has, since the new sys- tem of assessment has been put into force, refused to sign the roport of the board, clalming that the assess- ment valuation now in effect is un- fair to property owneres. According to leaders of the demo- eratic party, that group has also he- gun preparations for the coming| season with the selection of candi- | dates for nomination at the caucus | in September. It is probable that Raymond F. Dyer, present third se- lectman, will be named again as the democratic choice for first select- man, although he has made no defi- nite announcement. Persistent rumors from Kensing- ton are to the effect that a resident | of that district will be named as| republican choice for position of first selectman. While no definite nformation is available regarding the identity of the possible candi- date, 1t 18 generally believed that he will have the support of the Ken- sington T.eague of Women Voters. Ofticials of the organization claim that they are not prepared to make any announcement regarding the truth of the report, but it is widely credited as being a fact, Missionary Meeting The Woman's Home Missionary society of the Kensington Congre- gational church will meet this after- noon at 3 o'clock at the home of Mrs. C. W. Emerson of Kensington Mrs. A. J. Benedict of Tucson. Triz., founder and first president of the organization will address the gathering. Fire District Meeting Ofticials of the Kensington fire | East Berlin. jed on distriet have announced that a “ . meeting for the pfirpose ot filing | petitions for abatement of, water| and light taxes will be held this eve- ning at 8 o'clock at the Berlin Sav- ings bank. The first meeting for the purpose of hearing pleas for reduc- tion of taxes was held last evening, a fairly sizeable gathering of Ken- sington residents attending.

Baschall News The Kensington Tabs baseball | team will go to Fort Trumbull on! Sunday, to mect the Fort Trum- | bull nine at their home field. The | down-state aggregation has already administered one defeat to the Ken singtonians and the locals are out for revenge in the coming encount- er. | The All-Kensington team, after | reporting that there would be no | series between the All-Ks and the Falcons of New Britain, have ar- ranged a series of five games to be- gin Sunday at New Britain. Fans | of this community have hailed the | latest announcement with enthusi- asm and a large attendance at the serics is expected.

Guis- wold for disposal were continued. The local magistrate reports that | activities in police circles are ex- | ceedingly quiet this time of year.

Mrs. Hamilton was the recipt- ent of many gifts. Refreshments were served Game Plentiful Reassuring local gunners who have expressed opinions that this season’s hunting season would not equal last year's excellent results, comes the news from outlying parts that plenty of game is being ob- served daily in the secluded portions of the town. Pheasants are at present busily engaged in rearing the voungsters and are not seen as often in open places, they state, but a hunt through the more thickly wooded sections of the community brings them forth in great quanti- ties, Rabbits and partridge are also reported plentiful but a marked ab- sance of squirrels is noticed. rlin | sington, | good jafternoon cival avenue grounds on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

CHINESE POLITCS ABSORBING CLERGY ;Prolessor Finds Missionaries Not (ualified Williamstown, Mass., Aug. 24 (#— Treaty revision negotiations in China should be undertaken with American diplomacy leading the way in dis- regard of conventions, Prof. Harold S. Quigley of the University of Min- nesota told the Institute of Politics teday. Steps to this end should be taken, |he =aid, to give the Chinese greater faith in themselves and in foreign powers and to avoid the possibility of interracial war. Discussing intervention. he held that business communities in Shanghai and Tientsin have shouted “Bolshevism™ to precipitate _inter- vention, in order to check the com- petition of of Chinese meérchants. Dr. Stanley K. Hornbeck, of Har- vard univereity, dealing with the subject of the Chinese missions sald: ‘The Christian missionaries had more to do with bringing on the revolution, the nationalist move- ment and the efforts toward a better organization than any other class.” He thought that two things would be helpful to the missionaries: They should belleve that they have a su- perior gospel to offer, and they should concentrate on teaching and living Christianity. He deplored sionaries in Chinese and interna- tional politics, “The fact that a man has lived in Switzerland,” he said, “does not qualify him to be an Al- | number of missionarjes have ted upon telling the world exactly what should he done in China.

The fourth burglary 24 hours occurred last® night when a thief gained entrance to the apart- ment of Dr. George F. Cook on the second floor of the ntral square but was frightened |off before he had found anything of value. The prowler entered by means of a rear window opening on a porch, removing a screen and opening the lower window. He then apparently unlocked the back door from the inside and left it open te provide a means of escape if, as bappened, he should be discovered. He attempted to open a drawer in the dining room sideboard. but this stuck, and his efforts moved the whole piece of furniture, awak- ening Dr. Cook and his wife. The midnight vieitor beat a hasty exit when he heard them. Dr. Cook found the hammock on the porch still swinging, and Mrs. Cook heard a man run down the Ariveway to the street, where he jumped into a waiting car and shot off at a high speed. Constable E. W. Furrey was noti- fled and he and Constable Thomas Royce investigated the burglary. They felt inclined to dis- credit the 1dea of a walting auto and made a brief search of the neighborhood. | A short while before the break i{was made a tslephone call was re- ceived at the doctor's office, and Mrs. Cook, who answered. told the inquirer that the doctor was not at home. She asked if the party wonld leave name and address. but the person at the other end hung up {suddenly.

Moltrup, fiying the plane “Miss Youngstown,” from Cleveland - Bettis field, circled the field until the sound sensitive apparatus turned |the flood lights on and then landed. Spooner's invention is attuned to have the hum of an airplane operate it, so that other noises will not af- fect it functions. A tiny current is amplified when the airplane noise is picked up by a loud speaker which igerves as the “ear” of the invention and within one minute is strong enough to close the lighting switch. After the plane lands, the lights are turned off by hand.
