Air pressure remains low over the entire United States with .the centers of maximum depression over New- foundland and the West Canadian provinces. This pressure distribution is attended by temperatures above the normal over all parts of the country east of the Rocky mountains. Within the last 4 hours there were lacol show- ers in the middle Atlantic stafes. The outlook is for partly cloudy weather with probable showers and thunder storms Tuesday and Wednes- day in the middle Atlantic states and for generally fair weather in the New England states.

Perkins Pres.l The ‘Alumni Association of the Nor- wich Free Academy held ifs annual meet- ing Monday evening at Slater hall, with a large attendance ow older graduates, the guests of the occasien being the graduation class. An informal reception was held previous to the business meeting, during which the Academy musical club furnished music. The reception commit- ttee consisted of Mrs. Willis Austin, chairman, Miss Matilda Butts, Mrs. Al- bert H. Chase, Miss Mary Clene, Miss Alice Cogswell, Miss Gladys M. Fiske, Anna Foley, Miss Emily Latham, Miss Louise B. Meech, Miss Alice Muliin, Mrs. Raymond B. SLyrman, Mesrs. Frank ‘Woodward, Robert C. Johnson, Charies V. James, Benedict C. Pullen Joseph C. Worth .and Raymond . B. Shermban. President Allyn L. Brown . called the meeting to order, and after a selection of songs well rendered by the Girls’ Glee club, the usual reports were heard and approved. The association is in pros- perous condition, in matter of numbers and financial footing. A selection, Loin de Bal, by the Acad- emy orchestra Was followed by the an- nual election of officers, whose names mittee: Frederick W. Cary, chairman; were presented by the nominating com- Mrs. Lucius Briggs and John H. Per- kins. The following wers accordingly elected to serve for the ensuing years: President, Edmund 'W. Perkins; vice ‘president, Grosvenor EJ; secretary, Weston C. Pullen; assistant secretary, W. T. Olco’t; treasurer, Raymond B. Congdon. Members of executive com- mittee to serve four year, Miss Alce Ben- nett, Telley E. Babcock. President Brown stated that a year ago a committee had been named to make tentalive plans for a war memori- al, and Dr. J. H. Selden, one of this committee, brought fo the associntipn last night the suggestion. to take this matter up authoriatively. A committee composed of Mrs. Guy Warner Eastman, W T.yler Olcott and Edmund W. Per- kins was chosen, who will report later on the plans they shall make for a fit- ting memorial to those Academy Alumni who served in fh> sreat war. The chairman then introduced as the speaker of the evening, an Academy graduate who has made a reputati for himself in his chos2n study of as- tronomy, W. of 92, Trinity 96, N. Y. Law School, '98, also secretary of the American A sociation of Variable Star Observer: with memebrs in all parts of the worl Mr. Oleott who gave a most scholarly and comprehensive talk on astronomical activities told in an interes ing way_of ,the country, and of personal interviews visits to all the great observatories in with many of the most distinguished astronomers of the day. But few p:ople have any adequate conception of astron- omers aim_ and the immensity of his scope. - There are different specialties in the realms of the study of the stars, as in any other profrsson; interesting and intricate computatiors as to size, the distance away and rapidity of moves ment, are made every day. The nautical® almanae, velous succession'of 700 pages, is anoth- er wonderful achievement, which tells one where to look for any planet any day in any year. For instance, it could correctly show the position a hundred years from now of Jupiter. It gives data relative to every eclipss, ‘presents posi- tions of every planet and star, and the positions of thousands of stars, and exact time and date of eclipses. The much other valuable data to marirers is contained in thess pages. : Another device at the Naval Observ- atory shows how fast the comets move, and whether they will way again. a most mar- One of the most extraordin- Tyler Olcott, of the class | ever come our, ary of astronomical events was the dis- covery of the planet Neptune, which in 1843 began attracting the close atten- tion of gCientific men. It was conceded that the abservatories in the United Stafes are the best in the world. At| great Lick Observatory there is no time day or night, when a trained observor is | not on the job. The much discussed; question as to whether Mars has canals or not, 1s still ‘a fascinating mystery, with scinetific men ranged on both sides of the argument. Time may unravel this mystery, which, as yet, is unsettled. Mercury and Venus can not be ex- amined very closely on account of the density of the surrounding atmosphere. Uranus and_Neptune are almost too far away to give out any data. The study of the sun is an observing one; few people realize its immensity. As to the moon, we really know mart aboyt that planet than we do our own earth. It is known absolutely that there is no life on the moon, that it is a burnt out world, without air or water. . The observatory at Fort Wilcox, near Pasadena, has an interestirg tele- | scope with the largest lens in the; world, one hundred inches in diameter, largely used for photographic purposes. By it the distance of the stars is meas- ured, and the speed at which they travel each year. It is not generally known that all the stars (including our own star, the sun) are in constant mo- tion. The spectroscope for use of analy- sis of the stars is one of the most re- markable instruments ever invented. Spiral nebulae and star clusters can be readily examined and ascertained through this powerful “aid to the astronomer’s science. The observatory at Harvard is another noted as pos- sessing much valuable data of the stars, worked out by its own profes- sors. The laity really know nothing of the magnitude of this science and the tremendous task achieved by its devotees.. At this time when there is so much social unrest, a study of the stars would seem to be a means where- by the world might cultivate a sense of higher things. Mr. Olcott was en- thusiastically applauded at the close of his splendid address. Mrs. Raymond B. Sherman, a mem- ber of the class of '10, which celebrat- ed its tenth reunion on Friday at the Gelf club, brought greeting( and Frank Murtha, 15, spoke briefly of their an- niversary dinner at the Wauregan on Saturday, while Richard Morgan, pres- | ident of the graduating class, had a few words to say for 1920. The absence of Frank J. Leavens was regretted, and the evening’s busi- ness closed with a few remarks by Principal H. A. Tirrell, who spoke on schoel conditions in general, and the pdrt the Academy is endeavoring to play. It has seemed necessary to in- crease the tuition for next year, by ten dollars for each pupil, as expenses have, and salaries should, incres Six teachers are to leave the facul Miss Taylor, Miss Lathrop, Miss Gil- bert, Messrs. McGorrill, McKay and Latham. The school regrets to lose these teachers, and Mr. Tirrell spoke particularly of the long and honorable term of service of Mr. Latham, who has given eighteen years of teaching to the Academy. The incoming mem- bers of the faculty are Miss Rosa Wil- coX, Mrs. Haskell, William H. Tully, and Raymond Case. Miss Charlotte Gulliver, who has had a year’s leave of absence will also resume her work, 2s will Miss Smith, a former teacher, Wwho has been studying in France for two_years. All business being completed, the meeting adjourned and all were in- vited to the Academy gymnasium, where dancing was enjoyed and cake and ice cream were served, ERECT MEMORIAL TABLET AT T. 8. FINISHING CO. In the main entrance of the United States Finishing Company’s plant a large block of Westerly granite was placed near the office building on which a large and handsome bronbe plate was imbed ded, bedring the names of all those who went from the Norwich branch of the Finishing company to take their places in the great world war. The tablet reads as follows: In honor of the men who responded to their country’s call in the Great World War 1917-1919: Felix Barry, John William Barwell, John Barescien- ski, Frank Beattie, Jr, Eugene Bruno Bolz, Carl Irving Button, Charbineau, Albert Dilworth, Elmer Ericson, John Thomas Kvans, Peter Farrell, George Ferguson, Ignatius Flynn, Archie Furbush, Harry Aloyius Gallagher, Thomas Gauthier, ~ John Grady, Anthony Guertin.

The increase in cost is due to the scarcity of beef and lamb owing to difficulties in tramsportation. It is t1so reported that the scarcity is duc largely to the fact that the packers are nable to keep tsock on hand at the yards and all that is killed is shipped mmediately. In Norwich during the past week the wholesalers did not receive a car of beef and only one arrived on Monday which Was immediately snapped up by the re- failers. The prices on beef and lamb tre the only ones to be raised as there is no scarcity of pork. Many of the markets are handling New Zealand lamb which is considered as good, if not bet- ter, than the native lamb. PROPOSE TO PLACE EMBARGO , ON THE EXPORT OF SUGAR ‘Washington, June 14.—An embargo on the export of sugar is included in the plans of the department of justice for relieving the nationwide sugar shortage, A. W. Riley, special assistant to the at- torney general, today announced. Sugar exports during 1920 already have exceeded exports for the whole of last year, Mr. Riley said. Exports for 1919 included 211,000 tons of American- owned sugar while from Januwary 1 to May 1 exports of American = sugar amounted to 220,000 tons. ABSOLUTELY= Grrs LIQUID - QUICK EFFECT SACRED HEART CHURCH RAISES NEARLY $65,000 Amid & riotous scene of color, with horns blowing, belis ringing and drums beating, twb thousand pzopie cheered themselves fidarse when Rev. U. O. Belle- | rose, pastor of'.the Sacred Heart church of Taftville, announced thal the, church had gone over the top in its drive for money to wipe ouf.the debt of $59,000, shortly before midnight at Parish hall, The whole evening had,been one of mer- REV. U. 0. BELLEROSE riment, far exceeding any demonstration ever witnessed in the history of the town, and when the final result was an- nounced and the people were told that they, through thsir generosity and loyalty to their church, had not only raised the necessary arount but that the grand total was $64,888, their joy was unbound- ed. The happy throng took possession of Father Bellerose, placed him on a pony* which had been brought into the hall showered him with flowers and forming in a procession marched avout the hall cheering their pastor to the echo. The demonstration Monday evening was the climax in a four-day drive which first started for $40,000 to reducé the church debt and when that amount had ! been reached at the” emd of the thil'd[ day’s canvass members inspired by the enthusiasm of victory took upon them- selves to wipe out the whole dept. The members set to work on Monday with added zeal arnd inspiration and when they met in the evening the amount to- talled ' $57,006 about $2,000 short of the total debt. This was ' about 10:30 o'clock and in a little over an hour the subscriptions taken at’ the hall for amounts ranging from $5 to $1,000 to- talled approximately $65,000, a magnifi- cent sum considering the size of Taft- yille and the Sacred Heart parish in which there are less than 500 famliies The per capita contribution is estimated at about $200, a showing that will be the envy of many a richer parish. Fath- er Bellerose is to be congratulated on being the pastor of a parish with such a spirit of loyalty and devotion. Earlier in the evening supper was served to the members of the various teams, the visiting clergy and invited guests. The supper was served in the prettily decorated hall, the tables being arranged in a square in the center. The decorations of the hall were festooned i I!oyalty of the parish. today’s wholesale cost.

There was also a dele- gation of 42 from Willimantic, where a drive is to start next week, and also a delegation of 20 from Hartford, where a drive has just been completed. Among the generous contributions was one of $2,000 from the Ponemah com- pany, to which Agent F. B. Ricketson added $100, and one from the J. B. Mar- tin company for $1,000. TPhe J. B.
