W. Briges at No. 175 Broadway, about 1 o'clock Monday aft. ernoon, Mrs. Clarence E. Hill was re- moved ' in the auto ambulanke to the Backus hospital where she died about two hours and a half later. Mr. Hill, who is caretaker of the proverty, had started a huge bonfire in the rear of the barn and the wind fan- ned the flames so_that the fire got away from Mr. Hill's control. Fe called Mrs. Smith to assist him in put- ting out the fire and she ran from the barn right into the flames. Her cloth- ing immediately caught and almost in- stantly she was enveloped in mames. In an_effort to save his wife Mr. Hill tore her clothing from her body as fast as_he could, receiving serious burns about his hands and fingers. While Mr. Hill was trying to relleve his wife from her burning clothing the bonfire continued to spread rap- idly and nelghbors sent in a telephone call to the fire department and for the auto chemical. Both the auto pumper and the auto chemical re- sponded promptly. Dr. E, H. Linnell who was called was on the spot very quickly and gave what attention ne could to Mrs. Hill who had lapsed into uncensciousness. When the auto pumper arrived the firemen found Mrs, Hill on-the ground, her clothing still burning and Dennis Brennan grabbed a sheet from & clothesline and smoth- ered the flames. She was removew to the hospital in the ambulance and death occurred about 4o'clock. Mrs. Hill regalned consciousness at th hospital and for a brief time was abl to recognize her daughter. She was sufferipg frightfully from the burns which covered practically every inch of her body. Mr. Hill is confined to the hospital by his burns which are mostly about the tips of his fingers and while not considered very serious are painful. extinguished The bonfire was by chemicals. Mrs. Hill was born in County Ker- ry, Ireland. in 1856, the daughter of Michael and Mary Connors. She came to this country at the age of 15 ears and resided in Jewett City for a period of five years and then moved to Nprwich where she had since re- sided. She was united in marriage with Clarence E. Hill of this city at St. Patrick's church “by Rev. Daniel Mullin on June 9, 1872 She is survived by her husband and one sister, Mrs. Ann Shea of this city and one son, George E. Hill, and a daughter, Elizabeth E.

The April meeting of the Baptist ministers’ conference of New London and vicinity was held Monday at_the Montauk avenue Baptist church. New London. _The moderator, Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., of this city, was in the chair and the attendance was large. After routine business, the order of the day was taken up. This was a_paper by Dr. Slocum entitled The Church and Social Service. Among other things the essayist said: There is a pernicious fallacy abroad that the world is already mort- gaged to the devil and that in fear of a foreclosure the church should act as a sort of insurance society and write up as many policies as possible. It is | beginning to occur to the church that it is mot a mere life saving station whose function is to pick up as many victims as possible from the wreck: but that it is rather a lifeboat that goes down into the offing and by a vigilant patrol prevents disasters. Bet- ter still, that instead of forever acting as a sort of Red Cross society to patch up the wounds of the social order, it should take the fleld, conquer the en- ANNUAL BANQUET OF DELTA UPSILON PHI irty Attended and M Gladys B. Beebe Was Toastmistress. Rev. The eleventh annual banquet of the Delta Upsilon Phi, Alpha chapter, a sorority at the Academy, was held in the large dining room at the Waure- Zan house, Monday evening with about 30 in atténdance.

Henry Prentice. , |In other words, the church must do more than administer relief. Teconstruct society. The paper then went on to discuss briefly the alienation of the masses from the church. Dr. Slocum said that the church has not'oeen entirely with- out fault in the creation of this appar- ently impassable gulf; but that he did not believe that all the sins of society should be lald at the doors of the church. Resuming the argument, the paper developed the idea that the spirit and teachings of Jesus must be the basis for social service, simply because there is no other basis in sight. All other ground is sinking sand—quicksand that engulfs. Wherever real progress has been made in improving the social or- der, the credit is due very largely to the methods and ideals of Christianity. In a word, social service needs Christ and Christ longs to permeate with His spirit the entire socal order. The reason that every social move- ment must have Jesus Christ at its heart lies in the fatc at the bottom of The committee in charge of the ban- It must auet comprised Miss Elizabeth M.

Following the business session, the officers of the Norwich Building and Loan association, President Frank H. Smith, Secretary Ernest C. Cherry and Treasurer Herbert R. Branche, ad- dressed the men, explaining the merits of the assoclation and the benefits, Secretary Cherry, the first speaker, spoke In part as follows As the Norwich Building and Loan assoclation, Inc, is at present in its infancy, 1 shall necessarily have to confine my remarks to building and loan associations in general rather than attempt to particularize on our own association. ‘To quote from our own by-laws, the object of a building and loan associa- tion is to encourage home building and saving among its members by accumu- lating the savings and loaning the same at a fair rate of interest. The building and loan association is not a money making institution exploited by a few persons for their own partrcular benefit. It is a co-operative institu- tion, and while our own by-laws pro- vide for the establishment of a rea- sonable reserve fund, they also provide that when this reserve fund amounts to 5 per cent. of the dues capital the association is not obligated to set aside any specified amount for this fund. A great many so-called co-operative in- stitutions are under the control of a board of directors or trustees who seem to forget that accumulated earn- ings belong to their members. Assoclations of the nature of build- ing and loan socleties were originally started in England about the year 1798 and are still thriving there. They have a membership at the present time of about 600,000 and assets of about $300,- 000,000. These associations were first introduced iInto the United States about 1831 in the city of Philadelphia. They are more numerous in Pennsyl- vania than in any other state in the union, and according to the latest avallable figures there are at present over 1,700 in Pennsylvania alone, with assets of about $233,000. Ohio comes next with 649 associations and assets of over $224,000,000. New Jersey has about 650 associations, with assets of about $120,000,000. New York has 250 assoclations and assets of about $64,- 000,000. There are associations in the city of Newark alone. Philadeiphia, T am told, has been largely buflt by institutions of this character, there be- ing a great many homes valued at from $2,000 to $3,000 in that city. Hence the name City of Homes. In New York state there is a small town of about 00 people and 57 per cent. of the in- habitants, or about 1,100 people, belong to an associdtion having $380,000 of assets. In these states this movement is so strong that 21l that it is neces- sary to do is to open a new series and dvertise the fact that such a series is pen. The people simply flock to take up the shares. They know what it means. Is it any show such wonder that these states a_tremendous growth in population and wealth? The man who is paying for his own home or is sav- ing his money is conscious of a fecling of responsibility that makes for better things. He has an object in life aside from having a good time. The thrifty itizen is the citizen that the com- munity needs and must have if it pro- gresses—and building and loan asso- ciations promote and foster thrift. There are about 6,506 building and loan associations in the United States, with a total membership of over 2,800,- 000 and assets approximating the gerinf figure of £1,250,000,000. In Connecticut ‘there are, counting our own, 18 associations, hayving about 10,000 members and having assets of about $3,500,000. These range in size from those having ass of about $5.000 to the largest, which is in Meri- den, having assets of about $1,300,000 Providence has an association having assets of cver $3,000,000. In our own vicinity there is one in New London imantic and one in West- y. They are all governed by boards composed ‘of high grade citizens. A building and loan account means no anxiety about fluctuations in mar- ket value of securities. The savings banks in our state have recently been placing the great proportion of their available funds in real estate mort- sages—and why? Because their offi- cers realize that there is no asset that promises such stability of value as the loan on real estate.

There is not the remotest possibility of one man or one group of men getting control through stock ownership because no matter how many shares are owned by an in- dividual he only has one vote, Meetings are held monthly. In this association it will be the third Tuesday in each month. At this time payments on the shares is due. There will be an entrance fee of 50 cents per share in addition to monthly payments of 31 per share. The entrance fee applies only to the initial payment and is for the purpose of meeting legitimate ex- penses, such as stationery, advertising, postage, etc. The board of manage- ment is composed of the officers, who are ex-officio members and have no vote in the management, and nine other members who are elected annually. No member can subscribe to over 15 un- pledged shares in any one series nor more than 30 pledged shares. A pledged share is one that is pledged to the sociation in connection with the mal ing of a loan. The limiting of the number of shares is for the purpose of limiting the size of the loan. Experi- ence has shown that comparatively small lgans are the most desirable. The board of management approves bills, fixes salaries, legal fees, etc., passes upon all loans after proper ap- praisal, and is responsible for the con- ducting of the affairs of the associa- tion. President Smith said that he thought Mr. Cherry had covered the ground pretty thoroughly He said that the association was of great benefit to the workingman and we have seen the ad- vantages arrived at in other cities Treasurer Branche said: Among men of every calling the power of organization is being em ployed, and if strikes are more easily settled it is not because employers are more amenable but rather because la. bor is better organized. It is an age of organization for mutual protection.

Former Commissioner Downer in his annual report on building and loan associations said that every live city in_the state should have a build- ing and loan association, first, to pro- mote thrift, second, to encourage home owning and bullding, and third, to make better citizens.
