Those were high and deserving tributes which were paid to the de- | ceased members of the New London | county bar before the county bar | association and the superior court| by those who had been close- 1y associated with them mem- | bers of the legal fraternity, and vet| they were only such memorials as were deserved by men who had been | %0 prominently identified with the public life of the county and In some instances the entire state. They were all men of weight influence and made a success of thgir | profession. While this was widely | known by the public at large it was perhaps the best understood by those with whom they were brought In closer contact through office or court relations, as contemporaries. There they were at the height of their pro- fession, men of distinction and force whoseability and character was under- stoodl and recognized for its full worth. Each and every one had his opportu- nity and left his mark. They may not | have been without thelr faults—no man Is—but through their example, thefr knowledge and the pursuit of their calling they won the recognition from their fellowmen and associates which indicates so conclusively their standing as respected citizens and | successfal barristers.

That the govermment should be dis- appointed at the action of forelgn bankers In making a loan to Provi- sional President Huerta at this sta of the policy of “watchful waiting but natural. It simply gives important ald to the dictator in his determina- tlon to remain in control of the re- public and gives him the opportunity to again snap his fingers at the en- deavors of this country to force him from office. The loan comes at a time when it will be of particularly 'valu- able assistance to the republic. It was upon it that reliance was placed for meeting the interest on national | bonds and for quelling the ill feeling | which had arisen in the federal army | over the failure to receive their pay.| Huerta has been making the stro est kind of efforts to replenish shis money chests and there is reason to believe that he has not obtained all that he desires, but the loan serves to meet the bond interest and some of the back pay of the army and gives him temporary satisfaction in passing | an important crisis. Tt prolongs his power of control so much longer, but the insistence of the bankers who made the loan that the money must be devoted to the specified purposes, makes it evident that sooner or later the money question is going to be a serious one concerning the operation | ©of the government. That with the in- ereasing strength of the.rebels remains as an important factor in the future of Mexico. Both are bound to give Hnerta much concern and worry.

Of course, if she really knew Evangeline I am sure—" “On, 1 think we can live without the Bertons!” declared the woman in grape color, frostil “Pm sorry you take it so hard,” said the woman in heliotrope. “But we were speaking about Miss Etterick.

Why not talk of new kinds of cocktails and slit skirts? For the simple reason that ex- travagance and display and all manner of tom-fool novelties are gquite as old and motheaten as the homely virtues. Besides, if you will get out the old virtues, clean them up and dust them off, you will find them serviceable, while luxuries perish rapidly and are gone forever, ‘What is the goal in your mind?

It may mean dissatisfac- tion with your present task, shame of your present surroundings, irritation at your lack of finery, anger at your parents for not furnishing you un- earned money, an aversion toward per- sons of sound sense, discretion and de- cent self-respect and a fondness for flashy people. ‘The home and bank account vision means to you the determination to in- crease your financial force by saving and not by speculating. It means the will to make the best of your present employment as a stepping stone to a better one, a proper pride in the fact that your clothes are suitable to your means, & love and a eherishing of hon- est hearts, noble natures and genuine friends, a desire to, improve yourself more than your environment, and a wholesome contempt for luxury, dis- | play, vanity and all the microbes of moral lesion that so-called “success” bears upon ite ferwerd crest ;: Now that there has been an ex- change of compliments between Col.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR i iy | Coit's Recom- mendation. i Mr. Editor: The Statement publish- | ed in this morning's paper that my | name was never brought up for dis- | cussion at any meetings of the Gas| & Electric commission is so prepos- | terous that I feel.that I am justly entitled to state a few more facts. ! At a meeting of the commission kield one evening last week it was decided that my recommendation to install a:book- | keeper to fill a vacancy which had oc- curred would not be heeded. It was further decided that I should perform ! said work in addition to my already extensive and exacting duties. The ! article also intimates that the book- | keeper, Mrs. G. P. Smith, left sud- denly and unexpectedly, which is far from the truth. She notified the com- mission that she would be oblized to give up the position several weeks ago and expressed her willingness to assist in familiarizing such successor as they might appoint with the details of the work. She was unable to get any definite idea from them -as to when they were willing to dispense with her services, 4nd they made no move toward appointing someone for the position. Mrs. Smith was a very competent employe, performing cheerfully many tasks besides the work on the general books. It is the custom in gas and electric offices ior the superintendent to have a stenographer, but it has not been ecarried out here since the city took over thc business. She has done | the greater ount of this work and without extra compensation. That she was permitted to leave without a word of appreclation or commendation from the superintendent or from the com- mission is a “burning shame.” The attitude of the present commis- sion toward me has been unbcarable. They have given me no support, ng consideration, wholly disregarding the various suggestions I have made, which I felt were for the best inter- ests of the department. I have work- | ed In a vastly different atmosphere from that prevailing under the former commission and Superintendent Bogue, | A friend recently said fo me, “We have changed the Gas and Electric commis- sioners from a board of three men to one of only two.” His statement was not a jolke.

In nearly every community you will find women who have been restored to health by this famous medicine. Almost every woman you meet knows of the great good it has been doing among suffering women for the past 30 years. In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seek- ing health, in which many openly stats over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E.

Then as there are 480 grains in an ounce of the composite metal and what is coined from it is of the value of 1869-480 sov<-reigns, there are as many grai: in one sovereign as 1869-480 is contained times in 480, which gives the 123.27447 grains desired to be found to verify the problem. Now for the second solution: If the value of 1869-480 sovereigns can be coined from the composite metal con taining 11-12 of an ounce of gold from the composition an ounce of gold con- taining the value as many sovereigns would be coined as 11-12 is containei times in 1569-480, the result of which represents the value of 1863-480 sov ereigns. This quantity of the composite metal would contain one ounce of gold and 1-11 of an ounce of alloy, which com- bined would igh 12-11 times 480 grains, which 60-11 grains. Hence, if 1869-140 sovereigns weigh 5760-11 grains, one sovereign weighs s as 1869-440 is contair.- 60-11, which gives,123.- 27447 s the standard welght of a sovereign, referred to in the prob- lem. wi .
