NEW BRITAIN LAGS IN FELD OF ART Institute Alone Has Gallery Suitable for Exhibitions | Although there are many persons, particularly young people, in this city who are interested in art, New Britain is singularly deficient in fa- cilities for art enjoyment. There are some rather good private galleries here but there is no public gallery worthy of the name, while the art classes in school form the only spe- cies of art education provided by the city. There is only one art gallery in New Britain, that being located at the New Britain institute. The pic- tures in it are excellent works o wodern painters and the gallery is heing slowly built up, but it is still almost in its stage of inception and contains only 21 canvasses. From time time the rary also houses temporary exhibitions of paintings and sculptures, such as that of the Grand Central galleries which came t0 a close during the past week. These were specially selected worl ny of them by the same men a hose owned by the institute, and they offered almost view of American painting of y. Yet the library has so littie room for art exhibitions that it was necessary to remove its own paint- ings to make room for the show. nd there was no opportunity to compgre the various pictures by the came artists or observe any sort of trend. These exhibitions when hrought here attract only a modicum of at- tention from the adult population of New Britain, but thc children flock to them in great numbers. L the guidance of their s and of their own accord. Many of them come several tim nd - several earnest young men fairly haunt the exhibi- tions, making notes and sketches of the works they sce and showing how much they appreciate the op- portunity to see the best type of painting. Miss Fannie J. Brown, who has charge of the muscum and art gallery at the institute, gives all possible help to these enthusi but there is no means provided by which they can receive instruction. There has been some agitation fos an art school in this city, and the suggestion has Lecn made to Miss Brown that it would he possible to hold art classes in connection with the evening schools. A number of cities offer such instruction in this way, and it is believed that there are enough budding young artists and others interested in painting to make a course worth while here. At present art students are forced to obtaln their instruction in other citles—in Hartford or one of the larger metropolitan centers — at a rather high cost, and if they find themselves unfitted for the work or for other reasons are unable to eon- tinue they find they have put tfime at quite a loss. A school in New Britain, its proponents would offer an inexpensive enterin wedge through which young stu- dents might learn whether or not they had enough artistic ability to go further. New Dritain public schools now offer very good drawing and art courses, attention to art appreciation as well as to the making of pic- tures, but when the student has finished wih these no higher school is available to him here. This more advanced instruction could be pro- vided by night classes, it is argued by thosc who favor the plan. They also state that there are many older people in New Britain who have a sort of longing, semi- understanding liking for art. It is said that this class would also profii from such instruction, for eve the though they never did anything in art creation, they would be gainers | in that they would have acquired a wider cultural viewpoint. No official action has ever been taken along these lines, and in the meantime the New Britain institute, has to do its necessarily rather poor best in a field which must remain subordinated to its library, and Miss ffannie Brown remains the guardian angel of aspiring young sketchers /nd painters. \ CODLIDGE TALKS AT BOK'S TOWER Dedicates Carillon of 61 Bells in Florida suntain Lake, Fla., Feb.

The work of National Commander McNutt in the Legion is consistent with his other lines of endeavor. Al- though dean of the Law 8chool, he accepted the office of Commander of the Burton Woolery Post No. 18, of the Legion, at Isi0omington. The post had less than eighty paid up members. When he completed his year of leadership, the post had more than 400 members. The post 1ow owns a fine home and has held its place as one of the strongest posts in Indiana.

(Under Grant's Store) 'POLISH SURNANES PUZLENON-SLAVS Masculine, Feminine, Plural and Possessive Have Own Spalling Polish surnames have often been the stymbling block for all except Slavic race insofar as pronunciation and correct spelling are concerned. Despite the fact that many Polish- American familles have changed the spelling of their names or even changed them entirely, legally or, otherwise, there are hundreds of thousands of families in this coun- try that still cling to 'he original spelling and nothing will force them to change. As one prominent Pol- ish-American citisen stated. “I have | inherited my surname, as did my | father from his, and he from anoth- er of my ancestors, and it would be gross injustice to the memory of my forebears to change it in any re- spect. It is a hard name to pro- nounce, I know, but it is a nomen- clature, whose bearers fought and died for their country and their names were inscribed in the pages of history for their descendants to witness and be proud of the deeds of a brave house. Why should I change it?" Feminine Ending “Ska.” Men and women in this country of Polish extraction still cling to ¢ cus- tom centurics old—that of differen- tiating the spelling of their sur- names. In addressing or writing of a female member of a family whose name ends in 'ski” the ending changes to “ska. This ending strictly in conformity with the rules of correct spelling in the Polish lan- guage when speaking of a woman The same rule applies to names ending with “cki,” as for instance— Mr, Rosicki, Mrs. or Miss IRosicka. The plural form also changes ani the name of a married couple, when spoken of, becomes Rosiccy, and in speaking of more than one female member of the family, the proper form is vhe Misses Rosickie, Changes For “Cy” In names ending with “cz" the endings are still more puzzling. Take for instance the name *“Mon- kiewicz,” which designates thc male member of the family. In address- ing a female, unmarried member of the. family the name changes to “Monkiewiczowna” and a married woman is addressed as “Mrs. Mon- kiewiczowa.” The proper plural form for a married couple is Mr. and Mrs, Monkiewiczowie, although in recent years the form of Mr, and Mrs., or “Panstwo” (which is the Polish equivalent of Mr. and Mrs.) “Monkiewicz" has become popular. Speaking collectively of female, un- married members of the family, the form is “Misses Monkiewiczowne."” The greatest difficulty is found in names not ending with *'ski. ki or “cz.” In olden days families hav- ing names cnding with any of the above syllubles were termed as “szlachcice” or people whose birth- right gave them the privilege of be- ing included in the exclusive circle | of noble families. Today however | the term “szlachcic” has been dropped. Puzzle to Non-Slave Characteristic Polish names such | ATCH Main t. Store o Rent $125.00 per Month BDeW. 1. HATCH Co.

In the first name, the proper form used in designating » married woman is “Mrs. Roskosz- owa,” whereas the unmarried girl is addressed as “Miss Roskoszowna,” which forms do not change from the names ending with “cz.” In the case of the name Wrobel, the mar- ried woman’s nomeclature becomes “Wroblowa™ — the letter “e” is dropped entirely, and the same ap- plies to the girls when speaking col- lectively. Therefore the “Misses Wroblowne” is correct as is the form “Mr. an1 Mrs. Wroblowie” when addressing or epeaking of a married couple. The “e” is evident only in the male form of address. In the case of the name “Krupa,” the letter “a” is dropped when ad dressing any of the female mem- bers of the family as well as mar- ried couples. Thus: a married wo- man is addressed as “Mrs. Krup- owa” and a married couple as Mr and Mrs. Krupawie.” Posacesive Form In contrast with che English form of expressing the possessive of any surname, the Polish forms are of & varied type. In the English lan- guage, the possessive of any of the names mentioned herein is obtained by adding an apostrophe and the letter “s.” The correct form, or forms in the Polish language differ widely, To wit: the possessive of Rosicki (masculine) is “Rosicki- ego”; of a woman, married or single, “Rosickiej,” and the plural of eith “Rosickich.” In the case of names ending with ‘‘cz,” like “Monkiewics,” the possessive in the masculine gender would be “Monk- iewicza”; the feminine (married), “Monkiewiczowej,” and *“Monkie- of expressing possession in the case of young ladies.' The possessive in the case of a married couple is “Monkiewiczow.” and | Possessive of young ladies i§ “Monk- iewiczowych.” In expressing the possessive of names ending in any other way than the three syllabies “ski, *“cki” and *“cz," the cases vary. Thus, the pos- sessive of “Krupa” is “Krupy” (masculine) ; married ‘women, “Krupowej,” unmarried ownej"”; married couple, “Krupow" and the plural of young ladies, “Krupownych.” In the case of “Wrobel,” the posscssive of the masculine is “Wrobla,” | wiczownej” is the proper expression | ,case out of ten the names do not the plural | “Krup- | (married) “WroMowej” and “Wrob- lownej” for young ladies. The plur- als are the mme as in the case “Krupa " = 3 ‘There are five different forms of designating the possessive in Polish names, and it is difficult to follow the strict ethics of correct Polisn spelling for anyone but a Polish person, and even then a large per- centage of Polish people don’t know that such rules exist. It has bes come perfectly natural to American. ized Poles to stick to the Engliah form, making it easier for them ay well as those who are not versed in the Polish language, and in nine undergo any formal changes reason of choice—therefore, “Ro- sicki” is spelled alike when used both in the masculine and feminine genders, and the possessive is desig- nated by adding the apostrophe and by ALBERTA RUM PROFITS Edmondon, Alberta, Feb. 2 (By Canadian Press)—1de Alberta Ilqe uor control board made a profit dur« ing the 12 months ending Decem- ber 81, 1927, of $2.038,622.53.
