While words almost fail to express the deep grief and intense sorrow felt by the many friends of Mrs. Hattie Maine Duro, because of her death, which occurred on the evening of May 4, 1918, at her home on the East Side, vet it seems only meet that a friend should pen a few words on such a useful life, which was indeed round of helpful, kindly service for others. During the many months' of ill health, even in the midst of most ex- crutiating pain, she bore her suffer- ing with rare patience and Christian meekness. When in the quietness of the even- tide shadows, the heavenly summons |came to her, we can but feel .that “her suffering ended with the day: she passed through Glory’s morning gate, to walk in Paradise.” Mrs, Duro was born in Ledyard, Conn., forty-two years ago,. the youngest daughter of the late Amasa and Lucy Maine. She was a teacher for several years previous to her marriage with Edward J. Duro on Jan. 6, 1896. Since her marriage she has always resided in Norwich, where she has made a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Mrs. Duro was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand to neighbors and friends or to any who needed help and sympathy. She was especially tender-hearted to the poor and needy, and often, as opportunity 2rose, became, a personal friend to them. Modest and quiet in her man- ner and disposition. she performed deeds of charity and service in the same humble way, and they were of- ten unknown by those outside of her family. They are a lasting memor- ial, and the incense arising from such a noble life will still live on and scat- ter its fragrance in the hearts of those who knew her best. Mrs. Duro is survived bv her hus- band and three sons, Edward H. Frederick E., and Theodore. also by four sisters. ‘Mrs. Betsey Maine of North Stonington. Mrs. Urban Whit- ford of Old Mystic, Mrs. Park Maine of North Stonington. Mrs, Otis Cha man of Westerly and three brothe: Lafayette Maine of North Stonington, Everett Maine of Iowa City, Iowa, and Luther Maine of Los Angeles, Cal The funeral was held at her home on Fox Hill, May 7. at 1 o'clock. Rev. Arthur Purkiss. pastor of the Cen- tral Baptist church, officiated and spoke appropriate words, reciting very touchingly Crossing the Bar, by Ten- nyson. Mrs. Richardson sang with fine expression two selections, One Sweetly Solemn Thought and I Have Read of a Beautifal City. There were many beautiful floral forms which testified of the high esteem in which the deceased was held. Burial was in the Union cemetery, North Ston- ington. The bearers were Dr. Thur- man Maine, Oscar Chapman, Grover Brown and Archie Duro. Edias Patrick. Elias Patrick of South Canterbury died Tuesday afternoon. He had beer in poor health for several years, but had on'y been confined to the house!} four days before the end. Mr. Patrick was born in Pawtucket, R. July 29, 1849, and came to Brooklyn, Conn, with his parents when a child. In his early manhood he worked in the dyehouse at the silk mill at Brooklyn, after which he mas- tered the trade of a carpenter, which he followed until he moved about 29 years ago on to the farm which he owned at the time of his death. After coming to Canterbury he taught sing- ing school several winters. He was a member of the choir of the Congregational church at Brooklya and of the Congregational church at Canterbury Green. Since residing in South Canterbury he served the town as selectman several years and was at one time a member of Canterbury { grange. He is survivkd by his wife, son, E. L. Verne, and daughter, Mrs, Grace I. ‘Barrows. FUNERALS. Arthur A. Ockrey. The funeral of Arthur O. Ockrey was held from the undertaking par- lors.of C. A. Gager, Jr., on Thursday afternoon. Rev. C. H. Ricketts officiat- ed and friends acted as bearers. Bur'al was in Maplewood cemetery where a committal service was read at the grave by Rev. Mr. Ricketts. Peter Weiss. Funeral services for Peter Weiss were held at 8 o'clock Wednesday ev- ening at his ljate home on Watrous avenue with relatives and friends at- tending. There were delegations from the ‘various organizations to which the deceased belonged. There were many beautiful flowers. Rev, Peter F. Werth of the German Luth- eran_church conducted the services. On Thursday morning the body was sent by Undertakers Church and Allen to Boston where they were cremated in the Ferest Hill crematory CORN FoR MINE Mrs, Aliyn L. Brown?

BOAT LINE SOON TO BE IN OPERATION Will Carry Passengers and Express to Submarine Base From Smith’s Cove Possibly by the end of next week the boat to carry passengers and ex- press from Smith’'s cove at Best View across the Thames river to the submarine base will be in operation. The service will start just ‘as soon as_it is possible to do so. It will all depend on whether the pile driver from the T. A. Scott com- pany can get into the cove next week to drive spiles for the dock, said President R. W. Perkins of the Shore Line Electric Railway compa.ny on Thursday night. The passenger station at “the south end of the trestle at Riverside grove is under construction now and will be ready before the dock is ready. The dock wiil be reached by a stairway leading down from the station. The boat that will be used on the line can negotiate the Central Ver- mont bridge at the cove all right without any changes at the bridge, it is stated. There is a clearance of over six feet at the bridge, even at high tide, and this will be ample to let the boat under at any time. AT DAVIS THEATRE. Douglas Fairbanks Portrays Role Dif- ferent from His Usual Line. In Mr. Fix-It, a five part Artcraft comedy-drama, featuring that acro- batic film star, Douglas TFairbanks, now showing at the Davis theatre, the star leaves his usual role of a west- erner and is seen in a parlor role and as-a fighter in the slums. The picture is full of good humor and funny sit- pations, drawing many hearty laughs from the large “sized audiences which saw the production. : 3 Another feature on the bill is | Pauline Stark in Until They Get Me, a five part Triangle western drama, full of many thrills. The third chap- ter of The Son of Democracy is shown featuring Benjamin Chapin in the role of Abraham Lincoln. The Cur- rent Events film concludes the excel- lent bill. The augmented orchestra which played for the super-production: Intolerance has been secured to play for the motion pictures during the re- mainder of the week. The playing ef the symphony orchestra is in itself a valuable feature of the program. SURVEY AT SALSBERRY’S. Civil Engineer Gets Material for Ex- hibits at Possible Trial.

Pitcher discovered some faint writing on one of the gate posts. The inscrip- tion was: “Good bye. Good luck. God bless you. May never see you agali while living-on earth.” Mrs. Salsberry claims it was written by her son some’ time ago and referrel to a popular song. There have beey several theories advanced as to meaning. i3 A deputation of the Council of Flan- ders, says the Echo de Belge. is about to proceed to the Kaiser's Headquar- ters to offer him the title: of Grand Duke of l:hmden.

Our aim is to bring home to the people “the fact that every dollar which is con- tributed to the second Red Cross war fund will be used for war relief pur- poses, and in addition, that the ex- penses of running this campaign will be borne by the various chapters out of the dues paid by the members of those chapters, or in some other way by voluntary contributions of money or space, which we are receiving from 2 good number of sources as we have progressed in our plans during the past two or three weeks.

B e — Uae.ComntOil Fqulhngl'lm If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared sha.mm By cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless) is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can’t possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea- spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly " and evenly, and it leayes it fine and d silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man- age. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyome in the family for months. DINNER PARTY FOR TWO GUESTS OF HONOR. Mrs. Clarence A.

Strange to think of times when forks were unknown or so new that people had to be instructed as to their use and urged to em- ploy them “to the sparing of napkins.” Today, refinement and custom make Knives, Forks and Spoons unquestioned necessities.
