GREENEVILLE Men’s Club of St.'Andrew’s Church Hold Annual Entertainment — Fi nance Committee Meets—Notes. The newly completed Guild room of St. Andrew’s church was filled to its capacity Monday evening when _the Men's club of the parish gave their annual vaudeville entertainment. The entertainment was furnished by local talent and each performer received a large amount of merited applanse. The violin solos by Herbert Smith were exceptionally well rendered and show- ed a careful study and understanding of the instrument. Three local boys, Arthur Rydholm, Thomas Sears and William Hall, were warmly applauded for their fun-producing sketch, The Skeleton Minstrels. The program closed with an address by R. C. Plaut. ‘The programme was as follows: Over- ture, Geer's orchestra: America; soo, ‘William Delaney; duet, mandolin and violin, George Humbolt and Herbert Smith; trombone solo, Harry W. ‘Ward; feats of magic, Prof. La Mon- tague; violin solo, Kiss Me - Again, Herbert Smith; Skeleton minstrel act, Arthur Rydhom, Thomas Sears and William Hall; trombone and saxo- phone duet, Harry Ward and George E. Geer; aadress, R. C. Plaut. Following the entertainment refresh- ments wers served and a social hour was enjoyed. Disregards Auto Law. A _motorist who in disregarding the trafic rules in passing a standing trolley car, narrowly averted a seri- ous accident by turning his car into a side street to avoid hitting several passengers getting on_the trolley. A trolley bound for Franklin _square stopped at Twelfth street to take on the few passenzers waiting for the car when the automobile approached, going the same way as the car, and without slowing down tried to pass the car when a passenger alighting al- most stepped in front of the machine which would have struck the person if the driver had not turned quick in- to Twelfth street. Automobile drivers along Central avenue seem to have not the slightest regard for the rights of pedestrians. inance Committee Meets. The finance committee of the Fed- erated church met Monday_evening at the home of Mrs. W. A. Lund. The regular business wa transacted and the reports of the penny social were read and accepted. There was a good attendance. The Ladies’ Aid of the Federated church will meet with Mrs. Willis Hill this afternoon for their regular ses- sion. The Sunday school instruction class will be held in the vetry of the church Tuesday afternoon. Rev. A. W. Bur- don wiil instruct the class. NO NEED TO FEAR BALDNESS Tells How to Make Hair Grow Thick and Lustrous on Bald and Thin Spots. Thousands of men and women are growing bald’ every day and don't know fhe reason why. This is indeed a pity, says a hair specialist, who states that baldness usually comes from carelessness, and that anyone who gives the hair just a little atten- tion should always have an abundance of good, healthy hair. Dandruff and dirt cause baldness by clogging the pores in the scalp, and giving the dan- druff germs fertile ground for prolific breeding. The treatment is very simple re- move the dirt by shampooing at least once in ten days and destroy the dan- druff germs by frequently applying'a little of the real Parisian Sage, a most efficient preparation that the best druggists everywhere are now recom- mending as one of the quickest and safest treatments to surely stop itch- ing scalp and falling hair, remove all dandruff and to properly nourish and invigorate the hair roots. Parisian Sage is also the discrimi- nating woman’s favorite hair dressing because it zives her hair a _softness and luster that fascinate and compel admiration. A generous bottle costs but little from Lee & Osgood Co., who guarantee it to you. A yery large audience listened and enjoyed the evening’s entertainment given in Slater hall Monday evening by a male quartet from Hampton In- stitute, Virginia. The voices, sweet and well balanced, were a delight to hear and many of their selections were rather unusual. The opening group comprising Stay in_the Field Until the War is Ended, Humble Yourself, and_Roll, Jordan, Roll, was foll by a short introdugtory talk by Fran< cis H. Leavens, | ing of the inter- est Hampton should hold for us by reason of the keen interest and sym- pathy manifested by men and women from our own city. One of its great benefactors was Jjohn F. Slater and & building was erected as a memorial to him by his son. Moses Pierce gave the money to build a dormitory. Ed- mond A. Rice was actively interested as.a teacher. One of the women of Norwich, Mary F. Mackie, was des- tined to exert a great influence over the life and work of Booker T. Wash- ington. When he applied for en- trance at Hampton, dirty and ragged, he was set to work to clean and dust a room as his examination. Three times was it swept and five dusted, ] ere he considered it proper for inspec- tion. When, however, it was looked over it was pronounced satisfactory by Miss Mackle, who continued his faithful friend and guide. Mr. Leavens introduced Miss Sco- ville, who in a short talk on music, gave the origin and characteristics of negro music. It is really folk sons, not_written but simply sung. Some of it is the Bible set to tumes of Af- rica. This was illustrated by a sroup of three work songs, perhaps the most interesting of the e first, Shucking, sung to give the time for shucking ' the corn, second a so-called spiritual, used by the Sea Islanders as a rowing song, then Juba, a game song, very interesting and character- istic. Miss Scoville gave a little his- tory of the Bible songs of negroes, il- lustrated by the singing by the quar- tet of four and twenty elders, Wrast- ling_Jacob and the great hero song, Go Down Moses. Then followed two reels of motion pictures, the scenes laid variously in the island of St. Helena, Hampton In- stitute and Titustown, Virginia, the latter being a model negro commu- nity. St. Helena’s population is composed of about 6,000 negroes and less than 50 white people. The primi- tive conditions on the island = were shown and the real missionary work done by returning Hampton grad- uates. The industries and trades taught at the school were shown in vivid contrast. During. the pictures various songs were given by the quar- tet. Mr. Frank Whipple of Hartford, field secretary for Hampton, spoke most _earnestly of the work being ac- complished there, the aims and ideals, the eagerness to get in and remain in the school. The need for money to endow scholarships was touched up- on, the fact that for every’pupil ad- mittea four were turned away. Every pupil acquires the habit of work and Boesh out from the institute a skilled workman. Two fine arts are taught —namely, the art of knowing how to live and 'the art of knowing how to earn a living. Following a very tuneful and ryth- mical song, The Roads and the Moun: tains Shall All Flee Away, Mr. Leav- ens made a very happy plea for con- tributions, large and not so large. The _cl number was to have been Swing Low Sweet Charlot, but the quartet was forced to respond to an encore and gave by request, No- body Knows What Trouble I see. The Hampton quartette is the best rial | Negro quartette in America and is known from coast to coast for their singing of the plantation melodies or spirituals of the South. “This music is”, as Mr. Walter Damrosch bas said, “unique and in- imitable, and is the only music of this country, except that of the Indi- ans, which can claim to be folk music. In it the Negroes pour out their joys and _sorrows in maive, but wonderfuily moving fashion; ané in the face of such testimony of emotional and es- thetical beauty, who dare deny them wider future possibilities in the great ‘work of liberation of mind and soul, ‘which is now going on?” Hampton Institute trained the late Prof. Booker T. Washington. ~Today it is sending Major Robert R. Moton, another graduate, to take up Dr. Washington's work at Tuskegee. For nearly fifty years Hampton has been sending into the South and West bands of well-trained, Christian lead- ers to help colored and Indian people live richer and better lives. Nearly nine thousand graduates and former students, who have felt the in- fluence of Samuel Armstrong and Hollis Burke Frissell, have been spreading the Hampton idea of educa- tion—education for service. This army of leaders has literally transformed the lives of thousands and has brought to hundreds of communi- tles—rural and urban alike—more friendly relations. Hampton Institute is an Industrial village with some 1400 students, 200 teachers and workers, 140 buildings, and an instruction farm of some 600 acres. Whatever work the Hampton School needs to have done, the stud- ents are usually prepared to do. Farming, home-making, teaching, and the common industries are vital parts of the training of Hampton In- stitute boys and girls. ‘Blacksmithing, bricklaying and plastering, carpentry. cabinet-making, machine work, painting, printing, shoe- making, steamfitting and _plumbing, tailoring, tinsmithing, upholstering ad wheelwrighting—these trades are offered to ambitious and earnest Ne- gro and Indian boy: Girls receive thorough training in cooking, sewing, laudry work, gard- ening and methods of teaching. LIBRARY WILL CIRCULATE GAMES AND PUZZLES. New Plan Originated by Wheeler Li- brary at North Stonington. On Wednesday, weather permittins, the librarian of the Wheeler library at North Stonington will make her third trip to fhe Pendleton Hill district with the book wagon. She will have-a large assortment of books and maga- zines, as before. The library is trying a rather novel experiment. Beginning this week there will be circulated from the library, in the same way in which books are cir- culated, a number of different games, picture puzzles and anagrams. Not only will such games and puzzles prove a boon to young people who per- haps are not acquainted with such home games as authors, chess, par- chesi, etc., but it will make it possible for people to borrow games for any special occasion. The following books have recently been added to the library: Bacon, Japanese Girls and Women: Somderville, Story of the Discontented Elephant: De Quincey, Essays: Roose- velt, African Game ' Trails; Seton, Nimrods' Wife; Wormeley., Our Do- mestic Animals; Bannerman, Story of Little Black Sambo: Rauschenbush, Christianity and the Social Crisis Crothers, Among Friends: Dunne, Mr. Dooley Says: Kipling, Collected Verse; Lincoln, Cap'n Warren's Wards; Peat- tle, Lotta Embury’s Cousin; Schauffie: Memorial Day; Scott, 13 Washington Square: Stories of the Norsemen: Van Vorst, Big Tremaine: Chubb, Teaching of English: McMurry, Elementary School Standards: Monroe, Text-book in the History of Education: Robinson, Readings in Medieval History: Tap- pan, Story of the Greek People: New- ton, Once Upon a Time in Connecti- cut! 3 Y. M, C. A. NOTES. Attractive Events Planned for in Ath- letic Meet—Contests in Junior Class End Today. Physical Director Crosby has com- pleted arrangements for the track meet that will take place between the local Y. M. C. A. and New London on Wed- nesday night. The events will be run- ning high jump, three standing broad jumps, pole vault, 12 pound shot put, six potato race, regular relay race and medley race. Suitable prizes will be offared to the winners, and preliminary to the meet there will be a volleybail contest between the business men's classes of the two associations. For the past two years the New London business men have captured this event, but the local men are determined to turn tables this year. New London will send here 15 to 18 entries, while the local association will huve an entry list of about 15. The athletic contest that has been conducted between members - of the junior class will conclude this afternon. Two teams are battling for first place and it is expected there will be keen rivalry for the championship. The team captains follow: Vernon Randall, Joseph Hartley, Louis Covey and John Young. At the weekly boys’' hour this week Teels of mo Pictures will be Shown. _ Litchfield—Rev. Storrs O, Seymour, D.

NOTED SPEAKERS AT BANQUET (Continued from Page Five) who come from outside the borders of Massachusetts is steadily moving ‘westward and southward, being now on the extreme west of Ohio, but, of course, an industrial state like Con- necticut stands high in the list of con- tributors. Recently the institute has entered into an alliance with the oldest national institution of learning in the country—Harvard university, and the combination of these two national in- stitutions should make it possible to build up a great school of applied sci- ence well equipped for the great task of supplying, on the educational side, the industrial needs of the nation. Now it goes without saying that such an institution, if it is reaily to supply these needs, must have the acti co- operation of far sighted business men who know what the industries are to- day and have a clear vision of what they will be in the future. You will perform a national duty if you make practical suggestions for the develop- ment of the Institute of Technology, and to enable you to do so I may tell you some of the things that are being done now and some of the things that are about to be begun. We recently purchased a tract of 50 acres on the Charles river embankment and have expended about seven millions of doi- lars in developing that site with build- ings and equipment. The great series of laboratories that have been erected are in many respects unrivalled in the world, and there is certainly no school anywhere whose laboratories comprise a wider range in the field of engineer- and allied subjects. There are laboratories for the testing of mater- rials, steam laboratories. gas engine laboratories, hydraulic_ engineering, electrical engineering, heat. chemical engineering, naval architecture, min ing engineering, metallurgical engi- neering and so on. By a proper com- bination =nd organization of all these 1aboratorles, with due regard, of course, to the all-Important question of man- ning them properly, there is scarcely a practical problem with. which the institute would not be in a position to cope. The primary purpose of these laboratories and of the institute as a whole is, of course, to train men who can be useful to industry, but one of the special needs of Industry that will evitably be of far greater importance in the future than it has been in the past is the meed of investigation and research to solve its special problems. As you know, many of the great busi- ness organizations of the country have their own research departments and find it profitable to spend huge sums annually on_their maintenance. The Institute of Technology, amongst other things, must supply men for service in these research laboratories, and the demand will soon grow out of all pro- portion to the supply. These great re- search laboratories are. of course, cost- Iy affairs and many of the smaller co cerns will soon find themselves In a pecially difficult position. They will not be able to afford research labora- tories and they 80 n c - rmed ipto reality with a boldness of conception that is uni que in the history of education.” The fundamental equipment of the Insti- tute. It may interest you to know that the operation of this plan has brought this state within the fold of technology for we now have labora- tories In Connecticut as well as on the banks of the Charles, namely, the works of the American Synthetic Color Company at Stamford. Other works that are now part of our lahoratories are those of the New England Gas and Coke Company in Everett, Massa- chusetts, the Fastern Manufacturing Company. a paper company. in Bansor, Maine, the Carborundum Company’ at Niagara Falls, New York, and the Atihs Portland Cement Company at Allentown, Pennsvlvania, so_ that you see that we now have great laborator- ies In five different stations. In each of these industrial plants we have a professor permanently resident in the plant, who, with his assistants. is re- sponsible for the use of the plant as an educational machine, of course un- der the general direction and In inti- ‘mate cooperation with the manawers of the plant. Of course the plan has long been followed of taking studsnts -on brief visits to different plants but the scheme that I refer to is some- thing very different. Here a select group of students ac- tually work in the plant for a con- siderable period of time and worf under the direction of a professor of the Institute. They move around from one plant to another in regular cycle. and so get a training which is very different from anything possible in any other system that has been de. vised. Those of the students who have shown a special aptitude for reserrch will, after graduation, return to the plant in which they are specially in- terested or In which a special onpor- tunity presents itself, and with the Institute’s professor who directs in- struction in that plant, carry on re- search and investigations for the ai- rect benefit of the industry concerred. T hope that this brief sketch will at least serve the purpose of indicatinz the trend of things in the school. The Dbest brains of the country in the world industry must be concerned at least occasionally with the problems of the scientific schools. In the indust-al welfare of the future, science will surely be in the saddle and no nation, however well placed, can_ survive in the struggle by the use of any other weapons than scientific weapons. For the needs and ambitions of this coun- try our schools of applied science must be the best that are to be found any- ‘where. The Coast Guard Service. As the last speaker of the evening Toastmaster Selden introduced Capt. F. C. Billard of the United States Coast Guard, Fort Trumbull, New London. Captain Billard said he con- Siderca it an honor to be invited to address such a notable gathering. You gentlemen are members of the Cham- ber of Commerce, he said. The term “ommerce seems to me to indicate palatial marble halls. cludes those men who are progressive and who foresce. You gentlemen are business men. We are all more or less buiness men. The world today partic- ularly honors business men, men of action and who do things. With considerable familiarity of va- rious parts of this country I may say that the people of Connecticut mani- fest a_hospitality and a kindness for the stranger that is not excelled any- where. The United States has become a great world power and it recognizes the fact that it must become a great sea power. Captain Billard then went on to tell in an interesting manner of the origin of the Coast Guard service and of the great work it is doing. One of the principal duties of the coast guard in time of peace, he said, is to assist vessels in distress. Another im- portant duty is the removal of dere- Itcts and another the patrolling of the ice fields in the vicinity of the grand banks of New Foundland. WHAT THE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION BILL Is. Proposes Plan of Federal Co-opera With States. The Smith-Hughes vocational educa- ion bill, which played €o large a part in the addresses at the Eastern Con- necticut banquet Monday evening, pro- poses a plan of federal co-operation with the states along the following lines: (a) payment of salaries of teachers, supervisors or directors of agricultural subjects, (b) payment of salaries of teachers of trade, home economics and industrial subjects, and (c) preparing teachers, supervisors and directors of agricultural subjects, and teachers of agricultural trade, in- dustrial and home economic subjects. For this purpose there would be three funds created by annual appropriations of $500,000 each with arnual incre- ments_which in the case of (a) and (b) above, would amount in 1926 to $3.000.000, ‘and_in the case of (c) to $1,000,000 in 1921, and be continued an- nually- thereafter at those figures. States receiving the benefit of the federal appropriations would be re- quired ot contribute an amount equal to that furnished by the federal gov- ernment, the joint funds. in the case of the states, to be disbursed by the state through a board of vocational education. The allotment of the funds above in- dicated_would be respectively on the basis of rural population, urban popu- lation and total population of the state as compared with the total population of the same class of the United States. In the case of funds (a) and (b) aboye the minimum allotment prior to 1924 would be $5000 and $10,000 thereafter, and in the case of fund (c) $5.000 prior to 1920 and $10,000 there- after. For the purpose of providing for allotments under the different funds the following annual appropriations are made: Fund B. Fund C. Year Fund A. 1918 366,000 346,000 1919 46,000 32.000 1920 34000 | 24,000 1921 28,000 90,000 1922 25,000 . 1923 22,000 1924 10,000 1925 56,000 50,000 ¥ * Thereafter at that figure. ** Thereafter $27,000. b A state might accept the benefits of all or any one of the funds above men- Honed. ith the m-fl':uan that no state after June ‘30, 1919, may avail itself of fund (a) unless It shall have least the 5 DIy a few drops of freezone upon a tender corn or painful cal- lus and instantly the sore- ness disappears, t h e n shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can just 1ift it oft with the fingers.

Try 2 Drops of Magic “Gets-it” There’s a wonderful difference be- tween getting rid of a corn now and the way they used to try to get rid of it only four or five years Rgo. “Gets-Tt” has revolutionized corn his- tory. It's the only corn remedy today that acts on the new principle, not only of shriveling up the corn, but of loosening the corn off —so loose that you can Ifft it right off with your fingers. Put two drops of “Gets-It” on that corn or callus tonight. That's all. The corn is doomed sure as sun- rise. No pain, or trouble, or soreness. You do away once and for all with toe-bundling bandages, toe-eating salves and irresponsible what-nots. Try it “Gets-1t” is sold everywhere, Z5c. a bottle, or sent on receipt of price by E. Lawrence & Co., Chicago, il unless it shall likewise have availed itself at least of the minimum appro- priation provided under fund (b)- Provision is also made for a federal board for vocational education to con- sist of the postmaster general and the secretaries of the interior, agriculture, commerce and labor. The commission- er of education would be the executive officer of the board, which would, through the respective departments, conduct the necessary investigations to properly co-operate with the states. For the expenses of the board there would be an appropriation of $200,000. The senate in passing the bill added amendments submitted on July 19 by the chairman of its committee on edu- cation and labor providing, among other things, for the employment by the board of vocational education of a specialist in vocational education work at $7,500 per_annum, in agricultural education at $7,000, education in trades and industries at $7,000, home econom- ics $5,000 and commercial education at $7,000, and authorized the selection of an advisory board of seven members, representing the mechanical arts, ag- riculture, commerce, labor in general and general education. The members of this board would receive no com- pensation but would be paid their traveling expenses and subsistence to the extent of $10 per day. Their ser- vices to the board could not exceed 30 days in any year. In the form above indicated the bill passed the senate, 7-31-16. The dates have been advanced one year to make the appropriations properly effective. An amendment to this effect was in- corporated in the house bill. ‘The house in acting upon this mq ure substituted for the senate bill a bill which had previously reported from its committee on education on 2-12-16. (H. R. 11250.) The particulars in whicP the house bill differes from the senate measure are indicated below: There is a provision that not more than 20 per cent. of the money appro- priated under fund (b) above (payment of salaries of teachers of trade, home economics and industrial subjects) may be expended in any year on salaries for teachers of home economics. The personnel of the federal board of vocational education would consist of the United States commissioner of education and four citizens appointed by the president who would receive a salary of $5,000 per annum each. These members of the board would represent respectively the following _interests: () manufacturing, (2) commerce (ther than manufacturing), (3) labor. and (4) agriculture. Members would serve for normal terms of four years and annually select their chairman from their own number. . The specialists and advisory board provided in the senate bill are omitted from the house bill. ‘The vocational education bill is now in its final stages. The house passed the bill on Jan. 9 and on Jan. 13 named conferees. The senate named its conferees on Jan. 11. : WALKER MEMORIAL OPENING AT MASSACHUSETTS TECH. Cornerstone Laid in Presence of Thousands of Alumni.

The Walker Memorial was #iis: ed shortly after the death of Pres Walker and a fund was - subsecr which touched about $100,000. It wa. to be a memoria that was peculiarl appropriate since in his life. and whi he was president he realized the funda mental need of the Institute for wh may be termed a social side. Witho dormitories, with the students seat tered through homes and lodging houses in every part of greater Hos ton, there could be no student life distinctive of the college.
