Action of the resoluion, which was offered by Rev. Joseph H. Selden, D. D., followed a stirring talk on the need of proper recrea- tion for the public, especially the working | man and woman, by Dr. William ‘A. Par- ker, professor of philosophy of: Columbia | tniversity. Dr. Parker in' his' address told in brief of the plans of the com- munity service workers, T. J. Parry, and his assistagt, Miss Maud E. Tomlin, who have cume o Norwich for the purpose of carrying out this recreational idea. 2 The meeting, which was largely at- tended. was-presidedsover by’ Charies F. Wel:s, president of the Chamber of Com- mer e. The program opened With com- munity singing led by Edwin ‘Hill, gen- e.a' secretary of the Y. M. C. A. Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag, Keep the Home Fires Burning'and Old Black Joe were sung Vith a will, after which. the assemblage listened" to several selections on the harp and “sweet potato” by a traveling musician.

Salvation Army Drive, Norman Hicks, campaign direetor for the Salvation Army drive for funds to be held in Norwigh May 10-20, spoke brief- ly on what the Salvation Army is en- deavoring to accomplish here in Norwich. Mr. Hicks sounded 'a call for volunteer ‘committee workers to swell the commit- tee already organized and working and mierce, whose topic was A Modern Cham- ber of Commerce. / Mr. Hammond said the success of the chamber in New London is due to a hap- Dy system installed through the American Civic bureau. Mr. Hammond said a business man should not join the cham- ber of commerce from selfisR~ends but i from an unselfish desire to render service for the £cod of the community. A rear ago the New London Chamber of Clinmerce had about 200 members who paid $5 or $6 dues annually—sometimes, and they took about $5 or $6 worth of in- terest in the chamber, naid Mr. Ham- mond. We realized something had to be done. We called in the American Civic bureau. They made an exhaustive sur- vey of tae town. After a six weeks' edu- caticnal cimpaign we had 550 members. Then fo..cwed questionnaires in which eacih member was asked to name some plan or idea which he felt the chamber should put through. Picking out the best and most important of these answers, we had 26 planks in our platform, and I am pleased to say that we have put 20 of them over. (Applause.) Mr. Hammond suggested that one way to stimulate interest in the chamber is by admitting women to membership. Referring to a statement made earlier in the meeting by President Wells that the dues should be $25 a year, Mr. Ham- mond said: Your president was right when he said your dues ought to be $25. When a man pays $25 he is gning to take 25 worth' of interes Community Recreation Plans. The final speaker of the evening was Dr. William A. Parker, . professor of philosophy of Columbia university.

It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

And, fourth, what do the people do during their leisure hours? ‘What are the standards the people set for extended an invitation to any who care to serve on the committee to attend the committee meeting this (Thursday) after- noon at 4 o'clock in the Chamber of Com- merce rooms. He said the Salvation Army is, endeavoring to raise $6,300 to carry on the local work for ancther year and is also trying to get a building fund started. Mr. Hicks mentioned the present Y. M. C. A. building as a possible home for the Salvation Army. Teaching Crisis. The next speaker ias Edward J. Gra- ham, superintendent of schools in Nor- wich. Mr. Graham spoke' of the crisis which is facing the country foday, edu- cationally, viz., the lack of teachers to carry on the schools. There are 600,000 teachers in this country, said Mr. Gra- ham. Of this number, 200,000 teachers have had less than four years’ study after leaving the eighth grade, and 300,000 have had no special training for teaching. One hundred and fifty thousand of the Jatter, he said, are under 21 years of age. Last vear there were 50 per eent. less graduates from normal schools than in previous years. In Norwich, where we have had between § and . 14 graduates from normal schools, we had -two last year, and we will have two this year. The question is, where are we going to get teachers from? One-half of the 20,- 000.000 children in this country are being trained by teachers with no special train- ing for the work. Mr. Graham said that all teachers in Norwich have had a nor- mal school training, this being one of the requirements. Speakers on Welfare Work. Rev. Joseph H. Selden, D. D., told of what is being done along welfare work lines in the schools of Norwich. Two assist Miss Albertine, school nurse. One of the additional nurses is working with the children in the parochial schools and the other is working with the clhildren of the public schools. Rev. William A. Keefe, rector of St. Mary's church, spoke very highly of the excellent work being done along welfare lines in St. Mary’'s school. . Father Keefe extended an invitation to the m~mbers of the chamber to visit St. Mar®s school and see the work which is being done under the direction of the nurse, Miss Moriarty. Modern Chamber of Commerce. President Wells then introduced as the next speaker James Hammond, secretary Qf the New London Chamber of Com- METHOD OF ENFORCEMENT OF PROHIBITION REGULATIONS Many persons in Connecticut, who find it necessary to consult the United States internal revenue department relative to the sale of distilled spirits and wine for non-beverage purposes have -mnot vet learned that the work in connection with the prohibition law is now. being taken care of by a government branch apart from Collector James J. Walsh's office. The enforcement of the act was placed under the supervision of the commission- er of internal revenue who immediately issued regulations providing for a sep- arte district bureau to handle the en- forcement of prohibition. John F, Kram- er was appointed prohibition commission- er and pending the organization of his force Collector of Internal Revenue Walsh was appointed prohibition enforce- ment officer for Connecticut. Until the appointment of . Julius Stremlau, di- rector of prohibition, who assumed office on March 1, all permits for the use of distilled spirits were issued through Col- lector Walsh's office. James Shelvin the supervising prohi- bition agent, took charge in March, and iappointed Thomas MecAuliffe prohibition enforcement agent in - this state. 'The seeking of violators of the prohibition act remained with Collector Walsh and in spite of the fact that his office was burdened with other internal revenue work his district showed . more arrests and convictions than any other district in the country. Today Collector Walsh recelves for de- posit all fines and offers il compromise Tequired under the _prohibition act but since March 1, has had absolutely noth- ing to do with the enforcement of prohi- bition which, since that date, has been handled by Tnforcement Agent Me- Auliffe. Therefore Collector Walsh .and his deputies no longer seek violators of the prohibition law, but db seek out vi- olators of the internal revenue laws in so far as they pertain to distilled spirits and wines and any knowledge ; gained by his men of violations of the prohibition law is called to the attention of En- forcement Agent McAuliffe, who in the two months he has been in charge has caused the arrest of over 150 violators of the prohibition laws. = This was done with a limited force of twelve men. Many of the cases also involve a vio- lation of the internal revenue laws and in such cases a substantial offer in com- promise will ‘have to be through Collector Walsh in lieu of prose- cution. This is the procedure provided by the revised statutes. in addition to any fines or costs impos- ed by the United tates courts for. viola- tion of the prohibition law. ° Tt persons desire to make applicatiol to sell or use distilled spirits-or wine, (o transport or purchase, to prescribe they must get in touch with ~Director Stremlau .in the- Allyn House building, in Hartford.

There is something wrong with the world. If we set out to cure the world by the war, and think we have cured it by bullets and bayonets, we have only to read the records. What is the matter with us? Politically speaking, we have more freedom than ever before. Econom- ically speaking, we have less freedom than ever before. The trouble is the average worker doesn’t like his job. He realizes he is giving manhood in return for his job, while his employer is gaining manhood. Dr. Parker then went on to speak of the need of recreation for the working- man and spoke in support of the work which the community service is doing. He referredwo the two recreational work- Mr. James H__Allen, the discoverer of Allenrhu, who Tor mdny years suffered the torments of acute rheumatisd, de- sires all sufferers to know that he does not want a cent of anyone's money un- less Allenrhu decisively conquers thi: worst of all diseases, ‘and he has in- structed Lee & Osgood to guarantee it in every instance. WILL REALIZE $75 FOR METHODIST PARSONAGE An evening of song and recitations was given at the Trinity Methodist church on Wednesday evening under the auspices of the Loyalty class. The entertainment was largely attended and the proceeds will be about $75 which will be used by the Ladies’ Aid society to help furnish the new parson- age. entertainment, “Col.* Calfax’ Plantation Singers”, included planta- tion singing, banjo and guitar selec- tions and recitations. Those taking part in the programme were: Col. William Crowe, Jr. ers which the community has sent to Norwich and urged the chamber to get back of them and endorse their efforts. They are asking nothing but public sup- port in their efforts to organize recrea- tional facilities in Norwich, he said. Secretary I. M. Crandall announced three applications for membership in the chamber and they were favorably acted upon. Rev. Joseph II. Selden, D. D., intro- duced a resolution whereby the chamber endorses the community service recrea- tional plan for Norwich, and it was adopted unanimously. The meeting adjourned about 10.45 o'clock and refreshments were served un- der the direction of Emil Fox ard Fred G. Thumm. The reception committee comprised Nelson Parker, J. N. Weymouth, Arthur L. Peale, Roy Judd, C. J. Isbister, W. H. Cruickshank, C. L. Stewart, C. J. Twist, George Chesbro, Edwin Hill and = Rev. George N. Welch. CHARMING LECTURE ON POETS One of the most dangerous things to do is to talk in public about your friends, said Mrs. Aline Kilmer of New York in opening her lecture Wednesday evening upon Poet Personalities, when she spoke before an audience of about 360 in the Elks' hall in the second number of the entertainment course arranged by Mer- oier council of Catholic Ladies of Co- lumbus. But evidently there is one thing more dangerous than that, in the estimation of Mrs. Kilmer, and that is to be reported in the newspapers on what you have said in public about your friends. Which accounts for her request Wednesday night that quotations from her lecture should be avoided. Mrs. Yilmer charmed her audience with her cultured manner, speaking in a quiet, well modulated voice of good cagying pows reached all in the 1 zen of poet friends ok? were Margaret Wid- hall. Among of whom she dener, Sara Teasdale, Marguerite O. B. Wilton, Theodosia Garrison, Edith Thom- as and Anna Hempstead Branch, .the last named of New London. With the sympathetic touch of an ar- tist, Mrs. Kilmer filled out _ intimate character sketches of her poet friends, showing a nice sense of humor in her descriptions and an aptness in coining happy phrases. She recited verses from each one whom she mentioned and closed her lecture from some of her own verses. She was sponded with the remark, “If you don't mind it, I don’t,” as she gave her sec- called on for more and generously re- ond encore. Miss Rosalie Riordan, chairman of the lecture committee of the council, in- troduced Mrs. Kilmer, whose lecture was preceded by two selections played by the Ladies of Columbus orchestra.
