Some dealers in monuments will argue that other cheaper granites are just as good and endeavor to persuade you to use them. But a short visit to a cemetery with someone who can point out the different granites will con- vince you that the best material for the modern types of monuments is Westerly, There is some difference in the pro- duct of the principal quarries at Westerly. Each of the companies has a stone that is preferable for certain kinds of work. The best quarry for hammered work is not the best for polished monuments.

He piciured hoefly the official opening of thy transcortinental telepinona sine BeWl in the offices of the American To'ephone and Telegraph Co., at 15 Duy sticot; on_Monday, January 25, 1815, when Dr. Bell spoke to Mr. Wat- son cver the transcontinental line 3,- 400 miles in length. He also pictured tlie building of the line and how thousands of men and women have expended their labors over years cf persistence with telling efforts. The spealter also showed thaat it was not the effort of one man or the product of any one single invention and that the work ol actually building _this cross-continent line had takea yvears fiiled with all kinds of cunstruction problems and that the histery of the werk of making the poles and wires, se* and strung by copstructlon crews, runs back over the space of many WILLIAM A. SOMERS. The annual banquet of the Eastern Connecticut Development _committee, |an event anticipated for weeks past, was held in _this city on Monday even- ing, when 250 business and profession- al men, representing the five chambers of commerce in this ection of the state gathered at the Wauregan house to partake of the excellent banquet menu and to hear the highly interesting ad- dresses delivered by the several prom- inent speakers. The arrangements for the banquet were made by the members of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, and to_them is due the credit for the de- cided success of the event. The dec- oration committee, L. M. Crandall, chairman, put in much time and thought in their work, the results of which were both novel and elaborate, a Washington birthday scheme being very effectively carried out. Small Amerlcan flags at each cover gave the banquet tables a patriotic touch, and Dout the walls of the large dining room were large American flags and pictures of Washington. Beautiul baskets of flowers and ferns graced the _tables. The delegations from the five towns n eastern Connecticut began to arrive v in the evening and were met at "auregan house by the reception tee. few minutes after 8 o'clock the filed into the large dining room and took seats at the long tables.

Romeyn Danforth of New London presided as toastmaster and Joseph T. Cruttenden of New London, president of the Eastern Connecticut Development committee, the first speaker, extended a most hearty wel- come 16 ‘all in behalf of the develop- ment committee. Although brief, his remarks were listened to with very cloes attention and as he resumed his seat he was loudly applauded. In Behalf of the Norwich Chamber. welcome in Dehalf of the Nor- h Chamber of Commerce was given by Willlam A. Somers, the pres- ident Mr. Somers said: “It is a great honor and pleasure for me, as pres- ident of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, to welcome you here this evenin; “I am sorry that the banquet hall is not large enough to accommodate all the members who desired to be with us.. “The Chamber of Commerce two vears ago, was composed of a small zed body of business men. To- is the largest civie body in Norwich. “Those same business men, who, by working—Boosting _everything that was good for Norwich, have increas- ed their membership to 275. I trust this banquet will always remain in your memory as a_delightful even- inz spent in Norwich.” The next speaker, His Honor Timo- thy C. Murphy, extended the freedom of the city to all. The Telephone Demonstration. Then came the _trans-continental telephone demonstration which proved one of the features of the banquet. Just before the connectlons _were made with the western citles, W. F. Schmidt, of New York, lectured for the Trans-Continental Telephone demonstration and gave a talk on The Triumph of Sclence. The Triumph of Secience. Mr. Schmidt's talk was accompanied by ininteresting views taken along the route of the original transcontinental line. This talk was of a_historical nature “and exceedingly appropriate. Fle took his hearers back to the early days of telephony, when there was nothing short of two telephone in- struments, crude as they were, which were used by Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson in our nelgh- bor state, Messachusetts, when in the vear 1876 Alexander Graham Bell in- vented the telephone in Boston. In referring to the growts of the telephone industry in 1less than forty years, the speaker remarked that the first few feet of wire through the progressiveness of the Bell system had been sthetohed forth to over 21,- 000,000 miles and that the original room to room communication has been extended to over 70,000 cltles and towns, villages and hamlets joined to- gerher by, innumerable highways and byawaye of telephone speeh. In than forty vears the first recelving and transmiiting instrumonts had been multiplied by the Bell system 20 tlav today the United States, with but six per cent. of the world's pop- viaticn has over fifty-four per cent. of the World’s telephones. Interesting History. Mr. Schmidt led his heuvers down through years from the days of the years. It brings one back to the ei- veriment stations, test .rooms ané lab- vrutcries. It covers innumerabie ex- periments «nd improvements. Every step fcrward in the develoment of telephony has been over the gigantic scrap heap. Bell's original trans- mitter has had _seventy-three de- scendants and fitty-three types of transmitters have been introduced since 1877. The audience enjoyed a real treat when Mr. Schmidt exhibited the orig- inel telephone used by Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas A. Watson, in 1876. It was a crude looking instrn: ment but it was the seed from which the fourth largest industry in the world—telephony—has been develop- ed. The trans-continental _telephone line was then opened with Edward J. Hunt, local manager of the S. N. E. Telephone company, presiding at the transmitter in_the banquet hall and with M. C. Bates ,of the Pacific T. and T. company presiding at the terminal in San Francisco. First came the roll call of Trans- Continental wire chiefs which was in charge of Mr. Hunt. The roll call was as follows Norwich, New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Omaha, Denver, Salt Lake City, Winnemucca, San Francisco. The demonstration program was as follows: Exchange of greetings be- tween Mr. Hunt and Mr. Bates, Nor- wich to San Francisco; Joseph T. Cruttenden, president Eastern Connec- ticut Development League, to Col John P. Irish, member executive com- mittee California State Chamber of Commerce; Mayor T. C. Murphy, Nor- wich, Conn., to Edward Rainey, secre- tary to Mavor J. Rolph, Jr. Mayor Murphy’s Greeting. Mayor Murphy's greeting was as follows: Hello Mayor James Rolph of San Francisco. This is Mayor Murphy of Norwich, the Rose of New England. It gives me great pleasure to extend to you greetings from the Rose of New England. Assembled here with me are about 250 men representing the Eastern Connecticut Development League, who are joining me in extend- ing to you their hearty greetings. The object of the league is the improve- ment and betterment of the industrial conditions of New England but par- ticularly of Eastern Connecticut, and now that we are brought into closer connections with San Francisco and all the west through this telephone I see no reason why we should not in- clude the west. Now that we are able to converse so eastly, I hope you will feel nearer to us, and also hope to either see you or hear from you some time in the future. It you come to New England at any time please consider yourself a very welcome visitor in Norwich, the Rose of New England. While Mayor Murphy was trans- mitting his greeting the court house bell rang out on the clear, cold air. OHARLES A. PEASE.

Every man in the banquet hall was supplied with a telephone receiver over which he heard the exchange of greetings and the musical program. As tho next speaker the toastmaster introduced Charles A. Pease of Hart- ford, president of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce. President ‘Pease’s Addre: President Pease sald that the Con- necticut Chamber of Commerce is not an organization apart from the local chamber. Your membership It its membership; your strength is its strength. The local was joriginally formed to promote the good of the community in which it exists, and most such matters it can best seek to bring about through its own unaided efforts. But there are some things which It can do better for itself by combining_with other similar organ- izations. This it does through the state bodv, and accomplishes things which it could net alone. For inetance, in the enactment of beneficial laws. The law passed by the last legislature reducing the amount of wages exempt from foreign attachment from $25 to is devoting much A ‘strong committee has been ap- pointed mufl.&m and it is the of committee to have ite with it all the inter- ests subject to state taxation; the pub. lic utliity corporations, the insurance companies, banks, manufacturers, To make a scientific study of tax laws in this other states, in the hopes that all_these interests can unite on some scheme that will be fairly satis- factory to and to t such plan to the re of 1917, and save much or all of the wrangling and dis- pute that ly accompanies such proposed laws. Such a thing accom- v‘I‘l ‘would be of the greatest ben- efit. Relation Shauld Be Brought Closer. Now 1f there is_ this intimate con- nection between the state body and the local, it follows that that relation should be t closer and closer all the time; by lar attendance and active co-operation of your represent- ative on the state board of directors, ing the views and opinions of the local, and by ever increasing know- ledge on the part of the local body of what the state organization is at- tempting to_accemplish. Here is & of development which stops with no section of the state, but embraces the whole. Here is a glori- ous opportunity for the local cham- ber to enlarge Its vision and to in- crease its usefulness mot only to its own community but also to our be- loved commonwealth. George Grafton 'Wilson, professor of tnternational law, Harvard university, followed Mr. Pease. Professor Wilson said: Events of recent months have called attention to the instability of international rela- tions. Many of these relations were presumed to be firmly established through the contractural obligations of treaties. Treaties ran in every di- rection, covering all civilized states. The United States has over a thou- sand pages of treaties in force, and this would seem to be sufficient to make _international understandings rare. There 18 a collection of treaties known as the “map of Europe treaty” in four bulky volumes. The lack of ‘written agreements among states can- not therefore be offered as a reason for the unsettled conditions in the world. It might be questioned as to whether these egreements are of the right kind even if sufficient in quantity. A read- ing of treaties would show aspirations which would meet general approval. As an instance may be cited the treaty of 1846 between the United States and Colombia (New Granada), the preltm- fnary article of which states: “The United States of North Amer- ica and the Republic of New Granada, in South America, desiring 0 make lasting and firm ‘the friendship and 800d understanding which happlly ex- ist between both nations, have re- solved to fix, in & manner clear, di tinct and positive, the rules which shall in future be religiously observed be- tween each other, by means of a treaty, or gemeral convention of peace and fiiendahip, commerce and naviga- n.* It is under this treaty that the United States in 1846 guaranteed “the rights of sovereignty and property which New Granada (Colombia) has and possesses” in the isthmus of Pan- ama. It is of this strip of territory that a former president of the United States said in a speech May 23, 1911: “I am interested in the Panama canal because I started it. If I had followed traditional conservative methods I should have submitted a dignified state paper of probably two hundred pages to the congress, and the debate would have been going on yet. But I took the canal zone, and let congress de- bate, and while the debate goes on, the ‘canal does also.” How far the policy of the United States in regard to the Panama canal has been justi- fiable is still a matter for wide dif- ference of opinion. To Guarantes Peace. The protocol of the treaty of 1831 signed ~ by Austria, France, Great Britain, Prussia and Russia stated that it was their unanimous opinion that they should labor not for any in- crease of their territory, exclusive in- fluence or separate advantage, but to give to Belgium itself as well as neigh- boring etates the best guarantees of peace and security, and a later article provides that Belgium “shell form an independent and perpetually neutral state. This perpetual neutrality was supposed to be continuing in August, 1914, by many who read only the werds of treaties. There was therefore sur- prise and protest when it was discov- ered that the words of the treaty were not sufficient to secure their observ- ance. The neutralized states had themselves feared this might be the fact, and Belgium had been planning a larzer army and Switzerland was maintaining a well organized military force. Indeed, within ten years the neutralized states of Europe and other minor states of western Europe had under contemplation a league for the defense of their neutrality. This atti- tude of the states seemed to imply a lack of confidence in treaty engage- ments unless a somewhat adequate military force was behind the party desiring the observance of the treaty. Certain statesmen of wide experi- ence and of great influence had an- nounced that treaty agreements im- plied eomething of “the character of a moral sanction to the arrangements.” Others asserted that the observance of treaties would be conditioned by the political convenience of the state, and one of the latest characterizations in a “scrap of paper. To Secure Stable Relations. Facts such as mentioned in regard to the Panama canal and in regard to Belgium, which are but two of many that could be cited; the attitude of fear upon the part of many etates that treaty agreements would not be ol served if contrary to a strong state’ policy, and the frank statement of those in control of national affairs have particularly led thinking men to con- sider what can be done to secure and maintain stable relations among states. Many of the treaties and national agreements have been clearly formu- lated and penalties have sometimes Dbeen prescribed for failure to live up to the treaty obligagions. Indeed, many of the early and some of the later ‘treaties open with a call upon deity to witness the agreement, but even these treaties seem to be disregarded when one of the contracting partles regards it as advantageous to violate the contract. Make International Obligations Re- spected. “These facts and a desire to promote better conditions for the future led to a searching for a means to make in- ternational obligations respected. Meet- ings of men familiar with affairs were held and finally a cail was issued for an assembling of representative men 2 at the old Independence hall in Phila- delphia. This was held on the, Wle enniver day in Episcopal ps, leading Jews, college presidents, political lead- ers ang hard-headed and successful business men. 2 The final Zeal for a patriotic development of every best department of American welfare has always marked the won- derful achievements of the sons of Connecticut, “the Land of Steady Habits.” It marked the journeys, en- nobled the purposes and st ened the hearts of Hooker and Winthrop and Davenport and Fitch and the other pioneers who laid the corner- stone of Connecticut _progress _at Weatherstield and Windsor and New Haven and Norwich. Patriotic progress inspired sons of Connecticut to write the first state constitution in the U. 8. A. and made Hartford's Charter Oak an everlast- ing reminder that our state led the way to the Declaration of American Independence. Q The American patriotism that hung the signal lantern in the tower of Bos. ton's Old North church and sent Paul Revere dashing through every Middle- sex village and form rousing the heroes of Lexington apd Concord to their duty, lighted the sentry fires on the hills of old Windham and New London ard all the other counties of Connecticut and made our own Israel yomel erful healing, antiseptio bt nts. *You breat) little pocket inhaler and other leading ich and vicinity &re Every s, you-Tanade ‘oe wras, v ® you In f iy ‘thie’ 1itt v)el oy dra into levice you are n swollen, inflamed, germ laden m branes a medicated air which will only reduce all the swelling and in- Ill:lln(l(lon and a:l n your flofi and stopped- r passages. 2haolutely and positively desiroy ev rade of catarrh germ life it rllr‘il!l are so sure of lasting rellef that catarrh sufferers that they sell it in. yariably on the gositiy tee money pald will el tul results are not s Putnam and his Connecticut warriors heroes at Bunker Hill.

We turn the key in a lock made in New Britain, Stamford or Terryville and 80 into our bathroom supplied with values and faucets from Bridgeport, Middletown, Waterbury and Hartford, soap from Glastonbury we put on a union suit from the same town, a Star shirt from Norwalk or Bridgeport and a coat, vest and trousers made of cloth from Windham woolen _mills, sewed with Willimantic thread and Torrington needles on machines from Wheeler & Wiison's great factorits. Your wife darns garments of sil trom the Cheney mills of Manchester or Hemminway's of Watertown with hooks and pins and buttons from Wa- terbury and Torrington, while the ook prepares your breakfast on a Norwich-made Richmond range, you read about the battles being fought in Eurcpe with guns and ammunition from Colts of Hartford, Hopkins & Allen of Norwich. Union Metallic of Bridgeport or Winchester of New Ha- ven, you pour cold water from a Nor- wich Thermos bottle into a cut glass gchlet from Meriden and with silver- ware from Rogers' factories of Meri- den, Wallingford and Waterbury eat America’s best apples from Windham or peaches from Glastonbury, esgs and milk and butter and fancy vege- tables second to mone from the farms of Connecticut. After Dbreakfast you enjoy a Con- necticut wrapper srown and made somewhere between Hartford _and Springfield while you take your Dan- bury hat and your Naugatuck rub- bers and get into a Bridgeport Loco- mobile. You drive through busy streets macadamized with Connecti- cut trap rock to your office built of Connecticut made brisk or stone. All day long a Waterman pen, made in” Seymour or an Underwood type- writer, made in Hartford, writes your letters amd figures your accounts— your life, your wife, your auto, your business, all you own are insured against all sorts of dangers by Hart- ford Insurance companies. Naugatuck Diamond_ginger ale is your favorite drink and a graphophone from Bridge- port or a plano from New Haven de- light your recreation hours and_when your life work Is over a New Haven church organ accompanies the funeral musc. A graduate of Yale Medical school attends vou in vour sickness, a Yale lawver makes and breaks your will and a graduate of some Connecticut school officiates at your burial ser- vices. There is much that is inspirinz in all theso reflections. my friends, with the enerzy and thrift that enabled Connecticut business men of _other days to make our industries factors in human progress we must use and develop our present opportunities. Encourage Scientific Study of Soil. In the soil of Connecticut we are told by those who know lies one of our great opportunities. Your great organizatian of eastern Connecticut business men should do all in your power to encourage scientific study of soil conditions, economics and va- riety of production and improved | methods of selling and distribution. How often and with how much enthu- slasm have we cooperated with Storrs college In this matter? How ¥ach interest are we arousing In the work of our granges and agricultural so- cleties. If Hood Valley of Oregon can afford to make apples profitable by modern fertilization, . spraying, packing and marketing why can't we in Windham. The best soil and mar- kets and distributing facilities _are here at our very door.
