After a . trip .through England Mr. and Mrs. Moore will de in Regding, Pa. wannn leaves the position he has held just when the office has reached an ex- cellent state of effieiency, many good laws were now in effect, and when the opportunity ‘was aliead for much labor for. the good of the people of the state. ‘But,” said Mr. Lippitt, “as much as I regret giving up my office as commissicner, 1 realize that the course of ' politics is’ very uncertain.” As bank commissioner his term would have expired on July 1, 1915. He was appointed in 1307 to succeed George F. Kendall. At the time of his appointment as bank commissioner, Mr. Lippitt, who was born in this city on December 25, 1866, was the youngest man ever ap- pointed to that office, but his extensive experience with banking matters fit- ted him for the place -and - in the duties of the position"he has earned a reputation for efficiency in examination and given the department .a high rat- ,ing. Mr. Lippitt’s banking experi- ence began when he enteréd:the Mer- chants National bank. of this city In 1884. -~ Three years later he entered the service of the Norwich Savings so- ciety, of which his ‘father, Costello Lippitt, a former state’treasurer, has been reasurer for’'a number of years. When he was appointed bank com- misioner Guring the legislative ses- sion of 1906-07, Mr. Lippitt was re- ceiving and paying teller of the Nor- wich Savings society, having been ap- pointed to that position in 1905. His new duties will call for the Te- moval of his residence to New Have:, although during 'his term as bank commisioner he had retained his resi- dence In this city: He will take up his residence In New Haven almost immediately .but his family will not remove from here until the end of the vear. Their departure from the city will be greatly regretted by their many friends. Mr. Lippitt is a 324 degree Mason, with a membership in all the Masonic bodies in Norwich, and his genial and obliging disposition has made him many friends locally and throughout the state. .

John Fitch, native”of Coniecticut, is to be honored at Windsor Saturday afterncon when Admiral Bunce sec- tion, Navy league of the United States, will unveil a granite marker at the birthplace of ‘“the inventor .of the steamboat,” an invention which has ad |been credited to this son of the old town by many students of history. The marker is in a position midway dpposite the houses of Alvah Alexan- der and A. S. Bidwell near the tobacco fleld of Clinton Burnham. Already— for the marker was erected this June —many -automobile parties have stop- ‘'ped to examine it and read its inscrip- on. The marker is the gift of Samuel B. Elmore, former president of the Connecticut River Banking Co. Its inscription is as follows: Birthplace of John Fitch Inventor of the Steamboat. ‘The house stood a few: rods east of this spot. Erected by the Admiral Bunce Section of the Navy League - of the United States. A gift from Samuel E.'

Professor Phelps.of Yale Says Modern Novel OBeys Law . of Supply and Demand. ’ The popllar lecture course opened auspiciously at Slater Hall on Monday afternoon with a good attendance and a good_lecture by Professor William Lyon Phelphs of Yale University on The Novel of Today. Principal Henry A. Tirrell introduced the speaker and took opportunity to thank Philip John- son for his part in oblaining the course. Prof. Phelps also commending him as a fine impresared. After speak- ing of his former visit to Norwich Prof. Phelps turned to the contempofr- ary novel. Just at present the mnovel is the most prominent form. of literary art. It is ten times as popular as the esss®, drama, or sermon. More novels are published and read than all other kinds of books combined. This has not always been the case. There are literary fashions just as much as fash- ions in-clothes. As a Yale rpofessor he always sees the latest fashion in men's garments, Compare these changing styles with the history of ‘tlie-sonnet, which reap- peared in. 1900 after-long years of exile. or the theological poetry which was all the fashion in 1800. . Now the novel has taken their place. ‘What is the reason?. The same.rea- son as rules in the commerical world— the law -of suppl$ and demand. There is’ a -demand for the .novel, which writers are forced to obey. Meredith much preferred to write poeiry. - The grocer-has:to keep the goods called for,-or go out of business. So does the writer. There is only one exception-and. that is in the case of genlus. Bul people do mot like genius and he has to create a demand for his own ‘supply. Examples noted were Magner and Robert Browning. Next, what has created this demand? A glance out of the window will tell The great increase in the number and quality of secondary schools. Reading has become a mental resource for peo- ple who work. The supply has leaped to meet the demand. The bad side of this js that many read stuff just to keep.them from thinking and this has its effect ‘on novel writing as an art. Then, 100, everyone writes: a novel whether he knows how or not because this is the only way to get an audi- ence. A mnovel is a good story, well told. How many are all that? One just out is really a ftreatise on electicity. Other -treatises on various subjects are ‘The Inside of the Cup, Robert Elsmere, Looking Backward or The Fruit of the Tree. Putnam and the Wolf was a gold brick in prose. The three coun- tries most successufl in the nove. are Russia, England and France. Ger- many has no success with it whatever. She leads the world in music, but lacks the sense of proportion necessary to novel writing and has an excess of sentimentality. | She carnnot get rid of unnecessary detail. America is also backward. She has one good novel, The Scarlet Let- ter, which is good enough for anybody, and, perhaps Huckleberry Finn will also become immortal. But most of them are trivial. - Of the old guard Howells’ may survive, James, after his wonderful ghost story, has fallen into evil ways, others have survived ;.heir reputation, like James Lane Al- en. Prof. Phelps V. V.s Eyes, Squirrel Cage, of Providence, recommended Queed, The Way Home, The Ethan Frome, Partners The Rosy World, and Our Mr: Iwen. Russia leads in fiction. - This has all been writen within 100 years and all the writers are now dead. An in- estimable loon is thie recent transla- tion from the works of Dostolefevski, their best author.” The French have a Tong list of writers, all dead, _too. Though the present gives us Jean Christodphe by Romain. ‘The "English are always successful with the novel and. have a great roll of powerful names. Among them he mentioned Mr. De :Morgan, Arnold Bennett, Joseph Conrad, Galsworthy, Oliver - Eiden Philpots, Wm. J. Lacke, H. G. Wells, and Thomas Hardy.

The adjourned town meeting of Lisbon was held at Newcut Saturday afternoon with a large attendance. As former Selectman John G. Bromley had made no move to correct or com- Pplete his report, claiming that the town could not force him to do so, the meeting voted to pass over it with- out action. His report, therefore, is indefinitely tabled. A tax of 15 mills was laid to meet the expense of the current year and the matter of fencing the new New- ent road was left in the hands of the new board of selectmen, Charles A. ‘Whittaker, Fred L. Kanahan and Charles Budeit. Many voters expressed their pleasure quite forcibly over the fact that the town was now free from the Bromley regime. The meeting, which had already been adjourned twice, was adjourned without date. Bronstein Expelled. By vote of the Independent Order of Birth Abraham lodge of New Lon- don, Abraham Bronstein was expelled from membership Sunday.
