These were the first trials before this session of the court, as the case assigned on Tuesday, which was the opening day of the session, was postponed. For Collection of Note. Trial of the suit of Henry C. Lan- phear of Westerly against Margaret Greenwood Barrett, also of Westerly, for foreclosure of $1,100 mortgage on property in Westerly, was started when the court opened. Henry C. Lanphear, 75 years of age, of Westerly, was the first witness and told of glving Mrs. Barrett a mortgage of $450 on some property in 191l Later she gnade the property over to her son, Herbert L. Greenwood, who again took out a mortgage of $600 from the plaintiff in 1913. Since that time the property has again been trans- ferred to his mother. The witness tessified that he never knew Mrs. Barrett in the transactions concerning the property and that he always did the business with her son. Other witnesses were William A. ‘Wilcox, who wrote the mortgages, John T. Murphy and Mrs. Margaret Green- wood_Barrett. The latter is so deaf that her son had to act as interpreter, as she is accustomed to his voice. Her son is employed in the life sav- ing station at Watch Hill and paid his mother $35 a month and she com- mended him in court, but he married and then moved into another house, and it is claimed caused trouble. The defense is that_Mrs. Barrett never authorized the &ecuring of the second mortgage, which her son got without her coneent. She claims that she retained a life interest in the property. Judge Greene took the papers after the arguments had been concluded at 247 by Attorneys H. W. Rathbun and Agard. Claims $3,000 Damages. The following case was the damage sult of Mrs. Augusta Paulsen of this city against Albert G. Greene of Gris- wold, who was driving 4n automobile that hit Mrs. Paulsen and knocked her down on the crosswalk at West Main street and Falls avenue. She claims $3,008 damages. . In the complaint in the case it is charged that between 4 and 5 o'clock on the afternoon of Aug. 5, ‘1914, as Mrs. Paulsen was passing over the crosswalk at West Main street. and Falls avenue, she was struck by the automobile driven by Mr. Greene, who had failed to give any timely warning, and was operating the automobile at an improper speed.

Her lawyers are Judge T. J. Kelly and Allyn L. Brown, while Mr. Greene is Tepresented by Attorney Telley E. Babcock. Shepard B. Palmer, civil engineer, of this city, was the first witness, ex- plaining & plan of the street where the accident occurred. Plaintiff's Testimony. Mrs, Paulsen, who lives at 17 Maple street, was called to the stand and tes- tied that no horn was sounded by the automobile driver and that she was struck as she was in the middle of the crosswalk by the machine which was turning to go from West Main street into Falls avenue. She didn't see the machine until her daughter, who was walking with her, called out, and_the daughter was able to jump back a step and just missed being hit. Mrs. Paulsen testified to what was done for her immediately after the accident and by the medical attendance which she had after the accident. Dr. H. E. Hig- gins was her physiclan for a week and later she was treated by Dr. James J. Donohue. Dr. Louis T. Cassidy also called upon her once. In her testimony Mrs. Paulsen said that she had always been well and strong and able to do Mer housework before the accident, but since then she had had sick turns and felt all tired out, sick and nervous and ready to drop. She had never had any trouble with her hearing before the accident, but since tMen her left ear felt as if there were something dropping in it. She said that at the time of the ac- cident she did not know who was driv- ing the car, but had since learned it was Mr. Greene, the defendant in the case. On cross examination by Attorsey Babcock, Mrs. Paulsen sald she did not see the automobile until her daughter called out, “Oh, Mamma!” and Mrs. Paulsen turned and caught a glimpse of the car within four or five feet of her. She was struck im- | mediately and knocked down on her back. The auto hit her in the knees and body and the wheels passed over her right arm at the elbow, passing bevond her and stopping after it had crossed the sidewalk. Mr. Greene took her and her daughter home in the au- tomobile and came to see her the nevt day, but did not see her as the doc- tor 'had given orders not to let any- one in, & Roast of Beef Saved Arm. Mrs. Paulsen said that she was car- rying a ten pound roast of beef on her right arm and that was what saved her arm from ‘being broken as the wheels went over the roast of beef, but the marks of the tire could be seen on her arm for a week after- wards.

BATTLESHIP COMING 2 TO NEW LONDON, Will Bg in-Harbor There on Memorial Day. United States .Senator Frank B. Brandegee has notified Capt. George Haven, head of the police department and past commander of W: W. Perkins post, G. A. Rfin New London, that ar- rangements had been made whereby one of Uncle Sam’s battleships will drop anchor in New London harbor Memorial day. The crew will be given shore leave and a detail may possibly participate in the parade. Two years have elapsed since a bat- tleship visited these waters. Then a trio of sea fighters remained for near- 1y a week. It is likely that later in the season other battleships will be in New Lon- don In connection with the manoeuvres which are being planned to test the coast defenses of the New London ar- tillery district. It has been decided that these will take place in September after the return of the Atlantic fleet from the Panama-Pacific exposition. In the Memorial day parade will be four companies of the United States Coast artillery from the island forts and the Eleventh Coast Artillery band. FAVORS $10,000 FOR 5 NURSES’ DORMITORY Humane Institutions Committee Se Backus Hospital Need: Senator John H. Barnes, who ac- companied the dommittees on humane institutions and appropriations on their recent visit to the Backus hos- pital and the Winslow Williams farm, has been busy on the propositions con- cerning these places ever since. The committee on humane institutions has reported favorably a bill appropriat- ing $10,000 for a nurses’ dormitory at the W. W, Backus hospital, and this matter was referred to the appropria- tions committee, sald to be favoranle to the project. The commiitee ‘on appropriations will probably report favorably the proposition to remove the School for Imbeciles from Lakeville, with an ac- companying_appropriation of $20,000. The bill submitted specified that the new location be left at the discretion of the trustees of the School, who are wedded to a site in Simsbury. The committee will change that section so that the governor will appoint a com- mittee of one senator and two repre- sentatives to select the site. If this plan prevails the Winslow Williams farm site will receive consideration. Seems to Prove Reason In Dog. Frequently dogs and cats awaken sleepers who are in danger.

The regular meeting of the Norwich Amateur Press club was held this week at the home of Harry A, Covey. President Covey presided over the bus- iness. Financial business was discuss- ed and very favorable reports re. made from committees. Another issue of the official organ of the club, called the Norwich Amateur, is now belng prepared with John Hughes as the of- cial editor. During the evening a con- cert on the plano was given by Ar-. lington Turner and George and James Cook. The Cook brothers rendered two fine duets. A debate was d betwgen the fol- lowing teams: John Hughes captain, Henry Jotkowski and Leonard Purvis; Harold Tarbox captain, John Condon and James Cook. The topic for debate was, Resolved: That Fire Is More Destructive Than Water. The team captained by John Hughes won, having the affirmative side. Captain Hughes showed his- debating _ ability very largely in his rebuttal. A series of debates is to be held by members of the club, with four teams formed to further the interest of the members in_speaking and English. Refreshments were served and after a pleasant evening of business and pleasure the meeting adjourned at near midnight. Exceptionally Good at Carving. M.

Pot- ter, accompanied by ~Miss Letitia Kramer. The shop talk was given under—Y. M. C. A. auspices and Rev. Charles H. Ricketts, the speaker, took for his subject, Potential Present. Rev. Mr. Ricketts said every man has some mission to perform. some duty to discharge. Three very import- ant adverbs are connected with this idea—when, where and how. Today our thought will be occupied with the first of these, the object being to fix our minds on the time element. When are we to do our life work? Is it possible for us to establish time limits? Niebuhr éays that the life of nations falls within three periods, their rise, blossom and decay. There are also three stages in the life of the indi- vidual man to which we affix different titles, but which virtually mgan pre- <cisely the same thing, the past, pres- ent and future. The rise of a nation is not unlike the past of individual ex- istence. In both cases it includes growth from small beginnings; it re- fers to the period of development from weakness to strengt in both cases it is the time of struggle to get a footing, and oftentimes a strugsle for. existefice. The rise of any nation and the past lives of all its people seem to flow along parallel lines from babyhood to maturity. It is likewise true that a nation fn £l bloom is not unlike the present in individual life. Mommsen, another great Roman historian, has followed Niebuhr's idea by putting emphasis on work done by nations in the noon- day of their splendor. With a nation the period of blossoming is the period of work. It is the time of her life when she puts her conquests to_good uses; It is the time of internal de- velopment and improvement; the sea- son for the making of laws and the administration of justice; the time for building up industries and advancing the general culture and well being of the people. Both nations and_individ- uals “must work while it is day,” be- cause ahead of both of them is the “night when no man can work” The Almighty has set the bounds within which both nations and individuals must do their work, and just how long that working period is He only knows, for He surely has not revealed it to us, Nations and individuals are both facing the future dimly—dimly be- cause in both instances it is full of mystery and uncertainty. The great- est man in the world cannot bank with full assurance on doing his best work tomorrow. He does not know that he will be able to do any work tomorfow. Of one thing every in- dividual as well as every nation, may be well assured, and that is, some- where in the future will be the period | of going down hill, and perhaps the turning point may be nedrer than we think, Sooner or later there comes to every nation a period of decay, and to every individual the season of decline. ‘We ought not to be cocksure as to our ebility to do things on the morrow. ‘The time for doing our work—and the only time we can safely trust—is now, and that is why the present is potential. The door of the past is be- hind us and is securely locked: the door of the future is befors us and as yet unlocked, and the space that les™ between spells opportunity and the only opportunity of which we are sure. Of course the past is dead as far as opportunity is concerned, and the future has not yet given it birth. We are then forced to conclude that the real time for working is now. The present_only is potential, i. e., full of power, because it gives us a real op- rtunity for filling our little sphere in this life with the richest quality of life. I do not say that every man has the chance or the ability to rénder a conspicuous service, but when a man ps the chance he has and does his s t, in God's sight it is a rich ser- ce. I am inclined to think that our past experience is helpful to us not so much in the amount of knowledge we have acquired as in the power to judge of values. To be able to separate the gold from the dross; to sift the main thing out of a mass of incidentals; to ses what is important and what is non-essential. To do first things first and the right thing. Men, I am not here to hold up be- fore .you a gloomy picture of the fu- ture, much less to dwell on possible bodlly or industrial ills that may come, 1 wish. merely to hold up before you the present and the future in their true relations. .As wise men I would have you see clearly the fact that the “night cometh when no man can work.” It is then merely a matter of common. prudence that “we take time by the forelock” and do our best here and fiow. BOY SCOUT LEADER WILL ADDRESS MEETING HERE. Organization of Local Council Planned —Parade Monday Night Before Town Hall Meeting. Final steps towards the organization of a local council for the Boy Scouts of Norwich will be taken dt a meeting of the Norwich troops to be held next Monday evening in the town hall. On that evening Scout Commissioner E. L. White of Waterbury will deliver an address on the need of the local coun- cil and his experiences with the coun- cil. The parents and friends of the scouts are invited to attend the meet- ing, and an invitation has been ex- tendeg to out of town troops to attend also. Preceding the meeting there is to be a parade which will form in line promptly at 7.80 o'clock at the town hall on Union square, and the line of march will beas follows: Broadway to Chelsea bank, countermarch to square, where the troops will draw_up to wel- come Scout Commissioner White, Who will arrive on the 7.45 o'clock Willi- mantic car; Main street to Broadway, and thence back to the hall. The parade will be headed by the colors, followed by the marshal, then a pla- toon of assistant scoutmasters, and next will come His Honor Mayor Tim- othy C. Murphy with Scoutmaster White, escorted by six second class scouts, and finally the visiting troops, with the local troops bringing up the rear. In addition to_the address to be de- livered by Comnissioner White, there will be a tenderfoot initiation cere- mony and also a demonstration of scout work in all its phases. Follow- ing the demonstration, Commissionier White will take charge of the recruit- ing of prominent Norwich gentlemen to serve as members of the council.

Dearth of Physicians. The serious _situation which has arisen in Scotland owing to the dearth of physicians is emphasized by a notice issued by the Scottish Emer. gency Medical Service Committee ap- pealing to the public to refrain from calling upon doctors unnecessarily. The apeal says: “It will help materially to relieve the great strain now imposed on med- ical practitioners remaining at thelr posts_throughout the country—many of whom are at present working fif- education, by compelling him to attend the public school in order that he may be properly trained for his citlzenship duties later on, but interested alsoi in his play, when that play wholesomely and happily contributes, as it does in the scout programme, to his physical, mental and moral development. The local council makes an asset of the boy. It makes him co-operative in promoting the community’s interest and places a value on the minority years of his citizenship life. It gives him something tc do; teaches him to do things for himself and others; it makes him self-reliant, courageous and manly. The officers of the local council are a president, one to five vice presidents, @ secretary, a treasurer, an executive committee of five or more, & court of honor of'five, and a scout commission- er. The duties of the president, vice president, secretary and treasurer are the same as those of similar officers in other organizations. The executive committee should consist of these offi- cers and as many more business men as may be considered necessary for the proper promotion of local affairs, The court of honor passes upon examina- tions of scouts for merit badges and makes report of such examinations through the scout commissioner to the national council. It investigates all cases of life saving and presents aM- davits to the national court of honor for the award of honor medals. At the, earliest possible date after organization of the council and the se- lection of the scout commissioner, ap- plication should be made to national headquarters for a local charter and for the officlal appointment of the scout commissioner. - Charters when granted are issued for one year and must be renewed annually. 2 The most critical point in the or- ganization of the scout werk in any community is the selection of the scout commissioner. Much of the value and success of the wark depends upon the decision reached in this matter. The duties of the scout commissioner are four fold: First—as an executive in his rela- tion to the local couneil. Second—As a representative, in his relation to national headquarters, for as such he must investigate ail appli- cations for scoutmasters’ certificates, so that these may be issued only to men of good character, Whose influ- ences will be uplifting to the boys an by safeguarding the sale of the officlal badges and uniforms only to boys who have passed the various scout ex- aminations. Third—As a leader of scoutmasters, he organizes and presides at the scoutmasters' couneil, plans scoutmas- ters’ meetings, outlines courses of in- struction for scoutmasters and their teén or sixteen hours a day—if pa- tients will send for the doctor early as possible and to allow him to arrange his daily round with a view to econo- my of time. When the case is not an urgent one and a visit the next day would suffice, this should be stated. “Local educational authorities are asked to note that, important as is medical inspectiolf of school children; it is not nearly so urgent as the care of those who are dangerously ill. An appeal is therefore made for the re- lease of school medical officers entire- 1y or in part during the present emer- gency.” Retired doctors are invited to offer their services, and the younger lec- turers and stant in the medical schools and hospitals are asked to forego their usual Easter holidays or to substitute for them a ‘“change of work. g Bet He Lost the Girl.

When it had reached its six- tieth number, the name was changed to_the “Sun,” because of a threatemed injunction in chancery by a magazine bearing a similar title. ‘Shortly after- wards it ceased publication, and mo other farthing newspaper has yet arisen in this Bountry to take its place. —London Chronicle.
