An astrologer, who was famed for his great learning and his knowledge of the stars, went out for a walk. As he walked, all the time looking up at the sky, he sald to himself: *“Oh, how much wiser am I than most men. All the secrets of the stars are known to me. I read them as other men things te wear, and I've forgotten what | read books. . . .” Thus speaking. they are!

A resolution demanding _that the government of the United States rec- ognize the Irish republic as the only form of government rightly existing in Ireland was adopted at the state convention of the A. 0. H. and the Ladies’ Auxiliary at Danbury this week. Tt was also resolved that the Ancient Order of Hibernians be un- alterably opposed to any, League of Irish republic and at is . so constituted as to impair the sover- eignty of America and strengthen the imperialism of Great Britain and Ja- pan. The reports of John S. McCarthy, thesstate secretary of the A. O. H., and Edward T. Lyons, state treasurer. showed that although the number of divisigns in the state have been de- creased, owing to the fact that in sev- visions they were consolidated, the membership of the order is the same. ‘The secretary’'s report showed that on December 31. 1918, there were 5.- 725 members of the order in this state. But there are 630 soldiers on the rolls of the organization whose names were not included in this number so that the total membership at the present time is 6375. Z The report of the state treasurer showed that up to September 5. 1919, the total expenditures amounted to $3,767.99 and that the total receipts amounted to $4.199.25, Jeaving the balance on hand in the bank $431.26. The state arganization also owns one! $100 Liberty bond which brings the total amount on hand to $531.26.

The Knights of Columbus commit- tee on war activities have zone on rec- ord to protest the movement started by the war department which would oust all welfare organizations in their work about the camps and military reservations. and put such work in_the hands of the army authorities. Just |pow the Knights stand in their att tude towards this project of the gov- ernment developed at a recent meet- iug of the committee held at the Cop- ley Square Hotel. Boston, Mass. Their protest came in reply to a suggestion ! from Col. Jason S. Joy, executive offi- cer of the commissi on training camp_activities of war department. Col. Joy wanted to know what the viewpoint of the Knights of Columbus regard to “the cessation of all ties in the camps by welfare so- NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURBAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1919 ready to comply with amy “order of his commission representing the war department, including of course, the withdrawal of all war activities in the camps. If, however, it is the inten- tion of "the department to ask the with@rawa! NXnights 32 Columbus and all other war agencies within the camps. we feel that we ought to state our position on the broad Guestion in- volveq. namely as to the conduct in the future of all welfare, recreational ary educational work by the war de- partment as a part of its regular work. We are oppesed to any attempt to in- stitutionalize the activities heretofore condueted by the so-called war wel- fare voeeties. From our experience we can safely say that the men in ser- vice welcome a relief from war su- pervision and military methods. They welcome the relief and willingly re- spond to the services of ecivilians to whom they owe no special duty of mil- itary deference and obedience. It is a relief from the restraint of official supervision for them to receive a touch of home life and neighborly as- sistanee within the camps. The ser- yice in spiritual matters by outside ministers. rabbis. and priests has al- so been a grateful relief from mili- tary life. Ready to leave the ser- vice, if so ordered, we nevertheless wish to record our protest against the proposed new policy and feel that the action of congress in refusing funds asked for these purposes by the war department. the very willing contribu- tion of the public for the maintenance of this work by welfare societies, the hearty response and appreciation of the men in the service, the very in- herent contrast between military rule and discipline and recreational and educational work at the hands of friendly civilians all speak. against the taking ever of this work by the army as one of its regular functions.” UNITED WORKMEN. A rousing grand union meeting of members of the New Haven lodges of the Ancient Order of United Work- men _and of members of lodges in Hartford and Bridgeport was held in New Haven in Odd Tellows hall last Monday evening. /The meeting was held in Purtheranece of the state cam- paizn for an inerease of membership instituted by the Grand Lodge of Con- necticut and New York states and lod by Grand Master Workman Brown of Hartford.

Compare its Qualities With Large Costly Machines, the Only Type by Which Essex Performance Can be Compared From This Viewpoint We ask you to ride in the Essex that you may know how it matches the performance of costlier, larger cars. Until you have experienced its perform- ance you will not know that it is an unusual car. Its size and cost naturally leads you to re- gard it as you do other cars of similar size. But 10,000 awners and other hundreds of thousands of motorists know that except for its price, its size and the economy of its op- erating cost, the Essex bears no relation to even cars of the better quality light weight medium priced class. Choose the Essex for Performance Any Essex owner will tell you the most inspiring things about acceleration and speed. We have many customers who tell us they prefer driving the Essex to any car they have ever known. Its ease of operation, the power which eliminates much gear shifting, the speed that puts the Essex in the lead of any car they wish to pass, are qualities that account for much you hear among motorists.

It meets every service and tell their friends how little attention they are required to give their cars. Let Those Qualities . Decide You Regard the Essex in the service you ex- pect from it, as you would any car regardless of size or cost. If the Essex were as large as the cars whose performance it matches, the price would have to be as high. But because it has no usel uscless weight, costly car quality in every detail, is possible with proportionate saving in cost. Let us show you the Essex i reveals its true qualities.
