PRESIDENT REJOICES OVER 'SETTLEMENT Councilman John Connel.y of Bristol, state president of the Arcient Order of Hibernians, is highly gratified at the outcome of the negotiations which have brought into being the Irish Free State. In a statement published ‘in Hartford he sai “Like every good American -citizen; like every liberty-loving individual, I am elighted at the good news coming from across Atlantic. It is an ut- terly impossibi® task for the average mind to grasp the situation, or realize the full meaning of tae wonderful propo- sition. As no great achievement has ever yet proven satisfactory to every- body, it is to be presumed that a cer- tain amount of criticism will follow the fact that entire and comp'ete separation was ‘mot. attained; but, to my Jimited imagination, there appears nothing but genuine cause for rejoicing, The Irish people were represented by the pick of their race, they know what Ireland needed, and learned how much England would give; they were as competent to judge what was best to do under the ex- isting circumstances as any individuals in the world, and personally, I say with all my heart: What is good enough for them, is good enough for me. “My fitst thoughts are of hearty con- gratulations to Michael Collins, and hi wonderful army of sterling patriots, who are directly responsible for this victory.{ The Irish repubic, not being officially recognized, had to work out its own sal- fsvaton. Many contributing circumstances. no doubt, can be cited, but still it was the’ republican army that did the trick. “I feel confident that the Irish peo- ple will measure up to the highest ex- Dectations, and face, and master, the ob- stacles of geconstruction with a disblay Of magnificent statesmanship that will compare favorably with the devotion and patriotism of her soldiers. “The Ulster question, I can dismiss Wwith no more than a passing thought. T am more familiar with the Ulsterites than the Southerners. and ‘I know they are too shrewd to throw away a. golden opportunity. They also know they wil' get a square deal. T look to the near future. when Ireland will emerge from the effects of centuries of oppression and misrule, and exhibit to th- eyes of the world the most efficient state craft, the most broad-minded administration of governmental functions. and the quick- est and most permanent industrial de- velopment that ever blessed a free and independent state. “As the whole world was attracted by Ireland's sufferings in the past. so will it cheerfully rejoice at its fina' deliver- ance, and congratulate a libertv loving race on acquiring the boon., which for centuries her saints have prayed for, her scholars pleaded for, her soldiers fought for, and her martyrs died for:— ergo, the privilege of erecting and pro- perly inseribing 2 monument to Robert Emmett.’ CHRIST CHURCH PARISH AID CHRISTMAS 'SALE HELD From 3 to 6 o'clock Thursday after- noon the annual Christmas sale of the Parish Aid society of Christ Episcopal church was held at the home of ex-May- or and Mrs. F.

A Norwich smerchant gave bonds for eight of them and another merchant for five. The following Were those arrested: Henry Marks, /s proprietor: Bernard Lahn, Jacob Shapiro.

BABY THELMA REMARKABLE FOR MENTAL TELEPATHY Many people are skeptical regarding mental ‘telepathy, and more especially so ien they see it worked in a tleatre, for known that there has been more or it Iess hoax to it, and the thought is con- ! veycd through the form of quesii:a asked. Many of those who saw Baby Thclmfl.l seven year old g.rl tell correctly the numbers of watch movements, inscrip- tions on coins, dates on coins, ad many other things while she sat blindfolded on the stage at Davis theatre on Thursday, came away still skeptical. Othars be- lieved in the superhuman or rather more developed powers of concentration in the| little tot on the stage. The representative of the press him- self was among the former class and was as skeptical as anyone presenf in the audience until positively convinced by his own tests that Baby Thelma pos- sessed one of the remarkably developed brains in the power of thought transmis- sion. In a talk with Baby Thelma in her dressing room after the performance | it was ably demonstrated that the little tot was fully abie to riceive unspoken thoughts from her father or sister. Lit- tle Thelma was able to tell numbers of which only two people in the room had knowledge. The little tot is a strictly human, nor- mal child, with the interests of the aver- age child -at heart, and does not from any outward appearance show that she is aware of her exceptional qualities. ‘On Thursday evening she took great interest in the feature picture which she watched intently from the wings. She also-tcok a great and childish interest in the other acts on the bill and laughed heartily with the audience at the humorous things. Baby Thelma has only been on the road for about six or seven months and gives great promise of becoming one of the greatest of mental telepathists in the world, and undoubtedly is the youngest. Her remarkable power - was _discovered accidentally through a friend of Mr, ‘Weils, her father, who observed one day that the little tot anticipated his every thought.* This led to her examination by the leading psychologists in the east, and all remarked on her powers. Governor Cox of Massachusetts is decply interested in the little miss and has put some severe tests to her which she ably passed DECLARES 79 PERCENT MAY CARRY TUBERCULAR GEEMS “Probably 79 per cent. of the public.car- ry tubercular germg in their system and yet they are not ill from tubérculosis, neither are they aware of the fact,” de- clared Dr. Hugh B.
