Ahlgren of this city | swept aside precedent and on he chestnut tresses was placed th crown which symbol the highest compliment which the student body pays annually to one of its numnber. In the several years during whicl the Normal school girls have pre- | sented their annual May Day exer- cises there never was one which equalled that presented on the souta | campus of the school yesterday. ac- | cording to members of the school | faculty and graduates which were in | attendance. Seating accommodntionsi prepared in advance were practical- ly doubled and many present stood during the exercises. The entire program was held un- | der the direction of Miss Katherine | Colton, assisted by Miss Rachel | Spencer. The success of the event | reflects credit upon these two facul- | ty members who worked several | weeks in preparing the students for | the drills and dances. | Heralds Lead Procession | At exactly 4 o'clock, i when the event was scheduled to| start, the entire cnroliment of the | school marched in solemn procession | preceded by velvet-clad heralds. The | last part of the group formed a | guard of honor through which the | May queen and her assistants pass- | ed. | Miss Alhgren who was chosen Queen of the May on a vote of her| classmates, finally made her appear- | ance. | The May Queen presented an at- tractive picture, dressed in white With her were her maid of honor, Miss Hulda Bengston of New Britain and here three attendants, Miss | Anna-Mae Havlick of this city and | Misses Sybil Lake and Catherine Thompson of Hartford. | Program for Queen’s Delight Miss Bengston placed a wreath of May flowers on her head.

Several pyra- | mids were formed and crumbled fn graceful fashion by the agile for- | csters. The only individual effort of the afternoon was that given by the “court jester. Everyone in the gathering includ- ing the students who had no parts | in the exercises, danced about the | May pole for the enjoyment of the | queen and her attendants. | STOLEN AUTO DRIVEN | TILL GAS GIVES 00T Machine Found Abandoned Long the time After Theft is Reported—Man Seen Driving it Away.

P. Marsh of this city, a director of the state Chamber, representing the Connect- icut Motor Truck Assn. The plan has the approval of the !New Britain Chamber having been voted unanimously by the directors {last January. The resolution is as follows: “Whereas the necessity has be- come increasingly apparent for an additional bridge or other means of wccess across the Connecticut river to expidite highway traffic, and “Whereas the New Britain Cham- ber of Commerce has been recorded epproving the location of a new (Connecticut river bridge at or near Rocky Hill at such time as provis- is made for additional bridge, fore “Be it resolved that it is the sense of the Connecticut Chamber of Com- merce in annual meeting assembled that the contemplated additional ridge or other means of access across the Conmnecticut river when It To Re-Built and | Re-Finished | No Nails Our New cnables us to restore that new lustre and flexibility to a provided be located between ford and Middletown at or near Rocky _ Hill, thereby affording =2 freer flow of east and west highway traffic outside of congested traffic areas.” Another project which the New Britain Chamber has taken up. with the state highway department, and which is expected to result in action is the improvement of the detour through Berlin to make it poasible to avoid the underpass near the railway station on stormy days. The righway department has been unable to construct the underpass so that it will be properly drained during a heavy storm, with the result that water becomes so deep there traftic is tied up. A short detour over a rough road avoids this underpass. The proposal is to have the detour repaired. BRIDGEPORT FIRE " DESTROYS 2 SHOPS Damage Is $10,000—Several Firemen Receive Injuries Bridgeport, May 23 (P—Losses in the fire which last night de- stroyed the former plant af the Co- lumbia Nut and Bolt company and gutted the Hathaway Mfg. Co. plant at Railroad and Boswick avenues will aggregate more than $10,000, it was indicated today when fire insurance adjusters had {an opportunity to survey the dam- | age. l The economic Iqes will be con- siderable, for the fire threw about 160 employes of the Hathaway com- pany out of work, and has halted production in that concern until power lines can be restored, ma- chines repaired and the machine shop rebuilt. The tentative figure of $10.000 on the loss may be changed when machinists determine just what amount of machinery can be sal- vaged from the wrecked Hathway | plant. Four persons reccived medical treatment as a result of the fire. Hoseman Bartholomew Farrelt was taken to the emergency hos- | pital for treatment for a severe laceration of the foot received when he stepped on & nail at the fire. Hoseman Earl Sylvester Jennings | of Engine Co. 11 was overcome by smoke while fighting the fire in the | Hathaway plant. Lieut. Elmer V. Fitzgerald of | Engine Chemical Co. 2 was treatrd | at the scene of the fire for a bad- ly cut foot, and Michael Roman. 24, was treated for contusions and lacerations of his right hand, re- ceived when the fire broke out. Tanks were first used in warfare by the British. How to get your monoy'i worth In coffee Buy full-flavor! Buy full value for your money.
