investigated a number and many of
them absolutely are correct. In the
absence of ordinary food he found
human flesh actually being sold.

 Mechanical Branch to Hold Meeting in
 New York.
 At the next meeting of the Mechani- cal branch of the Association of Licens- ed Automobile Manufacturers, to be held in New York on April 12, the sub- jects to be discussed will be self start ing devices, standardization of tires and rims and alcohol as fuel. These sub jects have attracted the attention of the engineers of the branch for some time, and experiments and investiga- tions regarding them have been under way. It is expected that some results of material value will be obtained and immediate action taken. The work of the committee appointed for standardl- ga tien of tires and rims will be one of the most important accomplishments of the branch and in keeping with the standardization of bolts and screws and the odopion of uniform spark plugs. The tire situation is one that has both- cred not only automobile manufactur- CTS and motorists alike but the tire manufacturers themselves. The co-op- eration of the tire manufacturers with the members of the licensed association is one that will undoubtedly afford con- siderable satisfaction to all interested in the industry.

NoRRIs C. osBoRN's NEW WORK.

NORRIS e. OSBORN'S NEW WORK.
 The announcement that Colonel Nor ris c. osborn of New Haven is to leave that of the Journal and Courier will interest all who know anything of Con- necticut newspapers. Colonel osborn has been editor of the Register for twenty five years, and his father occu- pied the same post for many years be- fore that time. But that would concern relatively small number. The person. ality of the man, his very wide ac~ quaintance, his activity and efficiency in newspaper work and in politics, make him force to be reckoned with at all times. If there is a serious prob- lem of state or local administration or a discussion of the principles of gov erLment he is sure to have his part in it and to contribute something worth while to the solution of the problem. He is student of public affairs, with very little of the doctrinaire about him, but a great deal of hum2nity.
 It is a pleasure to believe that the change madu by Colonel Osborn will add to his opportunity for work to the best advantage.
 The Journal and Courier is an old in- stitution in New Haven, solidly estab- lished, prosperous and affording ample opportunity for effective work on large scale There is no lack of money for any judicious improvement or ex- tension, and the new arrangement should be to the mutual advantage of the paper and its new editor Hartford Times.

ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATION.

The Sth Anniversary of the Organiza-
 ton to be Duly Celebrated at Bridge
 port April 26.
 Grand Patriarch Nestor E. Wedge of Bridgeport and his associate officers of the grand encampment, l. 0. 0. F., have been quite active this spring in organizing a movement in the encamp- ment branch of Odd Fellowship in this state, which they hope will be most effective in adding to the membership of this branch of the order.
 At this coming anniversary of the order on April 26, the S8th since it was founded in this country, an effort Is be- ing made to place before every member the advantages of the patriarchial branch of Odd Fellowship in an effort to secure individual cooperation to the extent of asking each member of the encampment to induce a member of the order from the subordinate lodges to join the encampments and also to in- dividual members in which the grand patriarch says:
 'tThe encampment is Odd Fellow slips crowning glory, and the degrees are the most sublime and instructive of any of those grand lessions of which Odd Fellowship is justly proud Every member who truly loves the order should try to bring others into closer relationship with the teachings of these degrees. The spirit of fraterni- ty is that element in man that loves to do good and to bring others into the same circle of friendship and protec- tion. It Is this element that prevades the encampment branch and every odd Fellow should give this subject his best consideration Don't let this oppertu- nity pass, but put in your application now and become one of the patriarchial famils'."

TAKEN OFF IN BREEoHES BUOY
Ten Persons, Including Two Women,
 Rescued from Stranded Schooner.

l Norfolk, Va, April 7.-Ten persons,
 two of whom are women, were rescued
 from death by Captain Etheridge and
 his crew of life-savers at the Nags
 Head (N. O station early to-day,
 when the -masted schooner Louis Bossart was blown ashore by the heavy
 northeast gale that has prevailed along the Virginia a-Carolina coast for the past forty-eight hours. The schoon- | CT was bound from New York to Wig | gins, s, C., for cargo and was spent out of her course by the storm. Short ly after midnight she ran on the beach and was discovered in the breakers by coast guard from the Nags Head station. On account of the high sea no attempt was made to launch the boats. A line was s&lot over the schooner and the brooches buoy was run out, When the surfmen pulled it in they were sur prised to find young woman as it's passenger. She is the daughter of Cap- tain Fletcher of the wrecked craft. Then one by one the seven members of the sctDooners crew rec hauled to safe- ty through the seas, and on the last trip Captain Fletcher came in.
 Reports from Nags Head over the governments coast wires say that the schooner is high on the saore, but seemingly in good condition. The Louis Bossart is owned by Louis Bos- sart & Brother, of New York. She is of 61O gross tonnage and was built at Bath, Me, in 1904.
