 The home of MT and Mrs Albert Hull of High street, Ansonia, was the scene of brilliant gathering. Friday even- ing, November 20, when they celebra- ted the twenty-ifth anniversary of their marriage.

Before Mir and Mrs Hull could leave the house the first of the guests ar rived, and during the afternoon each train brought two or more from out of town. In the evening the local guests gathered until some 25 or 30 were as- 'embled. Mir and Mrs Hull received he congratulations of their friends and he hours passed pleasantly with music md singing, while many merry remin- scences of the bride and groom of p | ,ears ago were told.

for California fruit growers to work
up an exhibit of California products
to be placed in conjunction with the
canning machinery exhibited as usual
with the National Gamers convention.
This convention this year will be held
in February in Louisville, KY. and
Mr. Gorrell advises that the exhibition
hall will have ample space. and space
for an exhibition of California fruits
could doubtless be arranged for if such
could be got together. We are sug-
gesting this to various interested

Would Amend Laws

Editor Call: While am not a law
yer, still / have had considerable ex-
perience in law matters during the last
20 years or more, and l think / can
see where the fault OF our criminal
laws lie. Under the state constitution
as it reads at the present time appeals
in criminal cases may be taken TO the
district courts OF appeal on questions
OF law alone in cases not involving the
death penalty; in cases involving the
death penalty appeals may be taken to
alone.
Now, to simplify matters, why not
change the constitution so that ap-
peals should be taken upon questions
OF fact. instead of questions of law
alone, as now? Certainly it seems to
me that If the facts warrant a convic-
tion for a crime the verdict should
stand. regardless Of trivial errors in
