WESTERLY EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Celebrate SeventyFfth Anniversary On Sunday and Monday Next--earch for Burglars with Baes-Jug of Kerosene May Serve to Identify Fire Bug-Oeath of Mrs. Michael Collins.


 The local police are on the trail of two young fellows suspected of being the pair who burglarized the Charles w. Willard company hardware store a week ago. On the night of the bur glary two young men carrying bags were seen crossing the new railroad bridge over the Pawcatuck, from Westerly to the Pawcatuck side of the river. Near the river bank they stop ped and examination of the contents of the bags were made and, in the opin- ion of one who saw the proceedings, but did not know of the burglary at the time they were evidently dividing the spells. This done, they went across the Welch lot in the direction of New ton avenue.
 This leads to the belief that the burglars are residents of Pawcatuck or vicinity, as the break was without doubt the work of professionals.
 It is probable that the Willard bur glars are the same who robbed the Girven store several months ago, as entry was made in the same way. the same class of goods stolen, and there was no attempt in either case to secure cash.
 The clue that may lead to the arrest of the frebug in the British club fire lS llC Jug ludI tOlldliltu kNIOStue anu which was found in the telephone booth.
 A careful examination of the jug shows that it had not been used regu- larly as a receptacle for kerosene and was pressed into service for a special purpose. There are conditions con- nected with that jug that were eyi- dently overlooked by the man who used it in connection with the British club fire and which may lead direct to his detection and arrest.
 As early as 1746 there is record of Episcopal service being held in Vest erly, but there was no regularly em- bodied church here until nearly a cen tury afterward. In 1883 Rev Erastus DeWolf, a missionary of the Rhode Island conference, preached in West erly for seven months. In the year fol- lowing Rev. John A Clark. another missionary of the convocation. held meetings and was instrumental in or ganizing the present Episcopal church in Westerly. which dates from Nov 24 1884. The first pastor was Rev. James Pratt. In 1885 an edifice was erected in Union street at a cost of $6,00O and consecrated as Christ Episcopal church. This church was burned in 1872 and new structure was erected on the site at a cost of $2O,000. This building is now owned and occupied by the' Westerly division.

ANGER IS DANGEROUS

1t is well known that a violent fit of
temper affects the heart instantly. and
psycho-p physicians have discovered the
presence of poison in the blood imme-
diately after. such outburst This ex-
plains why we feel so depressed, ex-
hausted and nervous after any storm
of passior-worry, jealousy or revenge
has swept through the mind. 1t has
left In it's wake vicious mental poison
and other harmful secretions IN the
brain and blood.
There Is no constitution SO strong but
it will ultimately succumb to the con-
slant racking and twisting of the
nerve centers caused by an uncon-
trolled temper. Every time you be-
come angry you reverse all of the nor
NAL mental and physical processes.
Everything in you rebels against pas
sion storms; every mental faculty pro-
tests against their abuse.
If people only realized what havoc
indulgence in hot temper plays in their
delicate nervous structure. II they
could only see with the physical eyes
the damage done as they can see what
follows in the wake Ola tornado, they
would not dare, to get angry
When the brain cells are overheated
from fit of temper their efficiency is
seriously impaired, II not absolutely
ruined. The presence of the anger pol
son, the shock to the nervous system,
is what makes the victim so exhausted
and demoralized after loss of self

NEW USE FOR OLD KID GLOVES
Now that the party season has drawn
to close. do not consign your old kid
gloves to the waste basket. Save
them, as they, can be fashioned into a
variety of pretty and useful articles;
and IL you have not enough of your
own, or lack particular colors, you can
beg of your friends, provided that they
are not affected by the leather-work
craze.
The long wrists of rnousquetatre
gloves can be fashioned into dainty
and serviceable bags for opera glasses.
Use the same patterns as for silk, and
line with silk or velvet. These need
not be all of one color, but may be of
two shades or of different colors. Fin
ish about the top with a thick cord.
and draw up with narrow ribbon, or
make in square shape with flap. On
the outside you may put your initials,
monogram or any other decoration to
suit your fancy, either in silk or bead
embroidery. Or you may paint 1t in
oils, or execute it In fine etching.
Party bags are made of smaller
pieces, overseamed together on the
wrong side. It Is pretty to have a me-
dallion of some light color on each
side, embroidered in silk and beads.
and surrounded by diamonds in shades
of color. These bags are made large
enough to hold opera glasses, fan.
handkerchief, gloves, vinaigrette, etc.
A little pocket is often put in the lining
for the tiny powder puff
Exquisite sofa cushions are made or
this kid patchwork, the favorite de-
signs being diamond or hexagons. The
cutting must be evenly done apd the
sewing the perfection of neatness. To
do this you will require regular glove
needle.
Tides, head rests and corners for the
arms of chairs can be made OF these
CASTOR gloves, and are especially APP
propriate gifts for gentlemen.
Last week we saw a lovely little
footrest upholstered with kid. The
frame was of polished brass In shape
of clover leaf, with cushion COW

it a beautiful and healthful place to
live in, and who built Port Sunlight,
has given to Liverpool university a
sum of money to enable that body ito
undertake a systematic study of town
planning, including all architectural
aspects of city design"
But there's something going on in our
country also. Several states have al
ready passed laws enabling their cities
to appropriate private property to be
used for the purpose of making parks,
civic centers and Fairgrounds. Such a
bill is now before the Wisconsin legis-
lature. 1t is a good bill, but we agree
with e. T. Hartman of the Massachu-
sets Civic league, who, after express
ing his approval of 1t in general, said:
1T think it might go a little further
and give the local authorities certain
powers over the construction of dwell
ings So that light and ventilation might
be made possible for all the people,"
Mr.. Hartman touches upon a danger
in all town planning, that it will en-
phasize spectacular and show features
more than the needs of the people in
their daily lives. Take Washington for
example, in many ways the best
planned city in the world. 1t has num-
PEERLESS little parks filled with flowers
and statuary, and it fine broad streets
run criss-cross all over the city. maxi
ing travel easy and quick, but it's plan
did not provide against overcrowding,
as we discover from the report of the
presidents homes commission, which
has just been issued. This has a dis
heartening story to tell of the vain eff
forts that have been made to abolish
the "blind alleys" of the city, where
large numbers of people live under
most insanitary conditions. Let us take
a lesson from Washington and give our
new cities chance to be from the
start not only beautiful but also clean
and wholesome to the core.
Success to the new art of town plan
ming! May 1t cooperate with the old
art of house planning till light, air,
beauty and recreation grounds are the
portion of all the people.--La Follette's.

RETROSPECT
III which we have been

Not all which we have been
Do we remain.
Nor on the dial-hearts Of men
Do the years mark themselves In vain;
But every cloud that in our sky hath
passed,
Some gloom or glory hath upon US cast;
And there have fallen from us. as we tray
Many burden of an ancient pain
Many a tangled chord hath been unraveled.
Never to bind our foolish hearts again.
Old loves have left us lingeringly and slow,
AS melts away the distant strain OF low.
Sweet music-waking us from troubled
dreaws
Iulling to holer ones--that dies afar
on the deep night as II by silver beams
Ciaspt to the trembling breast of some
charmed star.
And we have stood and watched. all visit
while ii1aitterins hopes have died out of our
lives,
AS one who follows with straining eye
A bird that far. far-off fades in the sky.
A little rocking speck--now lost; and still
he strives ,
A moment to recover it--in vain
Then slowly turns back, to his work again.
But loves and hopes have left us in their
place,
Thank God gentle grace.
A patience. belief in His good time.
Worth more than all earth's joys; to which
