Following the luncheon the members of the club were the guests of Dr. Franklin 8.

Joseph C. Worth presided at the ‘meeting which opened with the sing- ing of America. James L.

Brandegee returned to his home in New London Tuesday fter having atferded the cere- monies incident to the notification of Gov- or Coclidgze of Massachuaetts, of his nation for viee presidest at North- . Mass., Senator Brandegee made utomobfle. orthampton he was met enator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Mass- achusetts, a fellow member of the sen- ate foreign relations committee, and the two went together to the field where the notification ceremonies were .held. As they took their places on the small plat- form that had been erected at one end of a natural amphitheatre, Senator Brandegee was greeted with hearty ap- plause from the hundreds that had gath- ered. Col William H. Hall of Willing- ton, as Connecu.ut's member of the -no- cation committes also was seated on platform as was J. Henry Roraback of New Canaas -hairman of the republi- can state central committee -and chair- n of the committee which arranged for the notification of the nominees. Compensation Claim Dienled. The appeal for compensation made by Henry Schmeider of No. 274 East Man Rockvlle, aganst the An- drews, Swift Company of New Britain, man claiming that while carrying a forequarter of beef, he was struck by a snank bone and injured to such an extent 1at he was operated upon was dismiss- 1 at Hartford Tuesday.- The hosptal records chow that the operation was made necessary by other causes than those given by Schneider. Wives of henpecked men should know row. sent a request for a straw vote. Alder- man Charles F. Wells was asked for an opinion on _this matter. Alderman Wells said “T'm agin ‘em” and express- ed the same opinion regarding action by the club. The labor party also sent a communication of the same na- ture regarding their candidates. President Worth called on_ Joseph Mayo to say something regarding his views of the present coal shortage in New England. Mr. Mayo said It was my privilege recently to at- tend a meeting of the purchasing agents’ association and the traffic man- agers of New Haven and I learned many facts regarding this situation. The chief cause for the high price of coal in my opinion is the stampeding of the small manufacturers in an ef- fort to get coal. By the small manu- tacturer I mean thc one who uses less than 5,000 tons a year. He has gone to the mines to buy coal and there they told him a price of $10 to $12, he had to have the coal so he bought it. It would have been the same if they had asked $20 .and so the price has jumped because the coal can be sold to the small man at more than the big buyer is willing to pay. The small dealer would do well to buy from his local dealer rather than take the matter into his own hands. It appears that New England is now to have coal and it is up to-all the manufacturers (o get it. We want a 100 per cent. coal supply to run our plants. The cities on the coast can get it by tidewater and they should do it and see that they get it. After Mr. Mayo's talk the meeting was turned over to James L. Case who introduced Rev. Peter C. Wright, a former pastor of the Central Baptist church, as the next speaker. Dr. Wright's subject was The Relation of America to the Rest of the World, a topic which the speaker dis:ussed thoroughly in the few minutes in which he spoke. Dr. Wright said in part: 1 do.not believe the relation of Am- erica to other nations should be a po- litical issue and the danger that con- tronts the country today is that it may !be drawn into the maelstrom of politic About 500 years ago the Atlantic ocean was practically an_impassable barrier, but today we talk with the rest of the world both under the sea and over it, under by the cable and over by the wireless. We can travel across this water in a week and we are linked to the other nations through our commercial interests. Then again we are held to the other nations by even stronger ties, those of blood. We have held our doors wide open to the people of the world and they have come to our shores. Now practically every nation hag some of its sons in our homes. They look to us as their bene- factors. These reasons tie us up with the rest of the world by strong bon When the world war broke out stayed out as long as our honor and ideals would let us, then we went in to defend: them. ‘Once in it we saw it through. We have thousands of boys over there who gave their lives for ideals. We are linked to the other na- tions of the world by invention, ideals, and other reasons and we simply can- not cut loose. America can not sit by and see the Christian Armenians mas- sacred by the Turks any more than we could watch Spain oppress Cuba. I believe that all men believe in an association of nations, whether it be a league of nations or other form of as- sociation® where -international difficul- ties can be settleq without legally and without war. Americans want to prevent future wars, whether by the present proposed league or otherwise but we want some sort of international relationship, - 1 would like to speak of the condi- tions in China, Japan and Russia and also some of the other nations of the world and how they feel toward Ameri- ca. “Russia is in a state of chaos now but she wi when the people the They all look to America as the great nation of the world. America has a_responsibility to the world that no other nation has. Our intitutions are the light of the Every American should get to thin ing on this question of relations the-world and think in an unprejudiced manner. . Dr. Wright was given a rising vote of thanks at the conclusion of his ad- dress. After the meeting the members went by automobile to the state hos- pital where they were met by Dr. Wil- cox who showed them through the in- stitution. The Rotarians were met at the hos- pital by.Dr. ‘Wilcox and the tour of in- spection started with the execative building Where. are located the offices, telephone _exchange, Waitinz room and other rooms and offices. The party then went to the women’s ward where the convalescent patients are quartered. This is a large room with dormitory and rest room all immaculately kept =2nd airy. From here the Rotarians were taken to the ward where the more violent patients are kept. Dr. Wilcox explaining the causes of insanity and the treatment. The sights in the wards were at times laugh- able; but yet one had a strong feeling of pity and sympathy for the afflicted, jn fact it”affected two of the members of the party so strongly that they gave up the. remainder of the tour. Perhaps the most interesting feaiure of the tour was the inspection of the me- chanical end of the institution. A visit was made. to the laundry where about 30.000 pieces of clothing are washed each week. Everything is done by machinery. There is a large washinz machine, Where the clothes are first put. After wash-| ing they go to the wringers and then to the driers. After leaving the driers they are taken to the mending room Where mild patients mend the clothes. From there they go to the ironing room and from there to the sorting room where the clothes for each ward are placed in bags and sent back to the patients. The employes of the laundry include six from outside, the remainder being patients. From the laundry the party went to the kitchen, where the meals for the 1, 371 patients and attendants are prepar- come out all right in time | ecome educated in | powers ‘of governing - themselves. | 1d. | hi ed. The kitchen was spotless, large, and extremely sanitary, modernly equip- and in charge of competent chefs. The meat is bought by the quarter and kept in a refrigerator that is cooled by a small refrigerating plant. On Wednes- day the temperature was very low and the Dipes in- the room were covered With snow. A watér cooling system, that cools tHe water for drinking purposes is also located here. The party was then taken to the car- penter shop where a good deal of the fur- niture used in the wards is made, to- gether with any other things in this line that are needed at thé institution. Con- nected with the carpenter shop is a paint room where all the painting is done. Next the laboratory where blood tests are made was visited and the party had the opportunity of seeing a test for syphilis being made. -Tests for tuber- cular troubles, diabetis and other eases are made here. The labratory is finely equipped With all modern medical apparatus. One feature that interested the par was the pasturization plant where 1 zailons of milk is pasturized each morn- ing. The plant is a small one costinx about $1,600 but giving excellent service and insuring the finest and purest milk obtainable. From the pasturization plant the party was_taken to the barns where 90 head of Holstein cattle are kept. The is as neat as wax, all concrete and pa ed white on the inside. The cattle are excellent condition and ‘the 60 milk produce the 175 zallons of milk that is used daily at the institution. The pie. gery was another interesting place. 11 are kept 350 Berkshire pizs. The qu ters are neat and clean and the Digs are*in fine shape. The tour of inspection ended at the newly constructed tubercular ward. The buflding is situated on a hizh snot over- looking the Poauetanuck c There is plenty of good air and the dormitories and the side rooms are o sit they zet the sunshine nearly hour in the day. The location is ideal aad the ward itself is one of the most modern | in the state. Everything that is needed in the treatment of the white plague Will be there when the building is ready for occupancy. PUTS FIRST NORWICH NAME IN HEBREW GOLDEN BOOK Hebrews of this city celebrated lnst Sunday by making contributions to the Jewish national fund, as this was the 9th of Ab the fifth month in the Jewish ca endar and the anniversary of the expu sion of the Jews from Jerusalem upon the destruction of the temple 1850 years ago. An incident of speeial interest in con- nection with the contributions was one of $100 made by Jacob R. Slosberg in mem- ory pf his son, Michael Asher, who died duri the influenza epidemic here in the fall of 1918, at the age of 7 1-2 years. Such a contribution secures the inscribing of the boy’s name in the golden book memorial which is Kept i the Jewish na- tional museum in Jerusalem by the na- tional society. This is the first in- stance of a Norwich man to give $100 to this fund and the first Norwich name to be inscribed in the golden book. De- sides the $100 contribution received Sun- day. there is $152 collected by a com mittee which consisted of Michael Levine, chairman; Simon Blum, Charles M. Gor- don, Abraham Cramer, Reuben Kad D. Sevitz, Rabbi Max Stamm, Samuel “ | Raucher and M. I Silverman.

NORWICH MARKET REPORT FOR GROWEBS AND DEALERS 1 The first shipload of Dotatoes was de- {livered at the local docks from = Long phia Van Name. The potatoes are direct- ly from the growers' fields. The short route and quick delivery entails a_min- imum of expense for the product which !s evidenced by the instantaneous drop {in the prices for potatoes. Wholesaler's trucks were busy carting loads from the docks to the retailers. This nécessi- tates a minimum of storage and hand- ling. The Long Island potatoes to thus market are shipped from Orient, ‘and the trip is somewhat less than six hours. It is expected that there Will be two or three shiploads of 240 barrels each ar- irive weekly. Cabbhge is now belng ffered in abun- dance and the market is unstable.
