Husband Was Cruel From the Start The first case to come up was that of Elizabeth B. Lasenbach of this city against Frederick-J. Langenbaeh, formerly of Norwich but now of parts unknown., In answer to_questions by her ate torney, Judge John H. Barnes, Mrs. Langenbach sald that hef malden name was Hunter and that she vu married in Groton on April 2, 1812, ir., of N n.uer Lhelr nmrrhca she satd he be- gan being cruel to her, hitting her in the !ace. biting her in the shoulder once, and making unreasonable de- mands upon her. At one time when she was at her home in Montville she said he threatened her with a razor, saying he would kill her and himself. She escaped by running out of the house. This was in the middle of July after they were married. She left him in August. She sald that al- though she had known him for a long time before they were married, she did not know that he drank and he had never smoked in her presence, but after their marriage he was drunk most all the time and sometimes came home so intoxicated that he ha2d to lie_down to sleep it off. She testified that he never sunported her and that he did not keep his jobs. She had to work to support herself and at the same time stand his abuse, which became unbearable. He told her one time at a train that he was gomg to shift for himself and she could do the same. That was the last she had seen of him, but she had heard he was in the army. Marion Hunter Dunbar, who became acquainted with Mrs. Langenbach through calling in the neighborhood e e e MAIL YOUR CHRISTMAS PARCELS EARLY. Postmaster General Gives Special In- structions for the Holidays. Postmaster General Burleson joined the “shop early” cempaign Iriday when he issued his Christmas sugges- tions to the public headed with the in- Junction: iail your parcels early.” Official sanction for the use on parcels of the caution “Do not open until Christmas” also was announced. Among other official suggestions is a warning that names and addresses of senders should be written on each package and also included in the pack- age. The postoffices annually are con- fronted M(h the problem of disposing of thousands of parcels that have lost their tags or outer covering and bear nothing .ta identify the sender or ad- dressee. The suggestions point out that books or sets of books may now be sent by parcel post, Dackages weighing eight ounces or less taking a rate of one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. Regular zone rates apply above thal weight. Following are additional official rules applying specifically to Christmas packages: You may insert in parcel mail writ- ten or printed inscriptions such_ as “Merry Christmas,” “Happy New Year” or “With Best Wishes.” TUpon flyleaves of books you may write sim- ple dedicatory inscriptions not ‘of a personal nature. Other written addi- tions or insertions subject a parcel to letter postage. If you desire & written communica- tion to accompany your parcel, enclose it in an envelope affixing first class postage, and tie securely to outside of , the parcel. Place the stamps to cover | the postage of the parcel upon its wrapper and those to pay postage of the communication upon the envelope- QUICKSAND AND SAND, The Difference They Make in a Life— Shop Talk by Rev. Dr. Slocum, Quicksand was the subject of the shap talk ‘Pven at the plant of the Crescent Firearms company at noon on Frnisy under the auspices of the Y AL C. A. by Rev. Joel Slocum, D. D, Dastor of the Central Baptist church. “Quicksand, said Dr. Slocum iIs com- posed of waterworn and rounded pars ticles that will not pack together but which act like a fluid when under pres. sure. The moment a heavy object is placed on the surface it at once be- gins to disappear and unless rescued at once will quickly sink. There is a very decided difference between sand and quicksand. Sadpd is not dangers ousu. On the contrary it is a very useful article. If a man has plenty of sand, he will live & successful, useful life. If the quicksand has him, his chances for usefulness are exceedingly slim. It is the quicksand, econtinued the speaker, that I wish especially to em- phasize this noon. There are moral quicksands that threaten us all at almost every step of the way. 1t is »ery easly to get into these places, but t is difficult in the extreme to get out, One of the most dangerous rhings about moral quicksands is the fact that they do not appear dangerous. There are a good many dangers, that we are not able to.locate until it is too late. I appeal to you men today to avoid, not simply every ap- pearance of evil but every invisiblity of eviL The psalmist cried: Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink. But it is Détter not to get in- to the mire. The ¢ry may be too late, Fortunately there i3 one who is able to save. We speak of .the long arm of the law, but the arm of love is longer. God's arm is not shortened that He cannot save, Choose today the Rock of Jesus Christ, and aveld the quicksands. Report on Navy Yard Goal Tests. In a report by the chief of the bureau of engineers of the navy department he says that the bureau has not yet been able to determine the advantage to be- derived from the-storage of coal under water. For three years tests have been going on at the Thames river nayy yard without so far de- veloping any marked difference in value between coal in the open, under cover, and under water.
