MEMS LEAGUE OF
 THE SECOND CHURCH.
Address by Lewis s. Welch of New Haven on The Masculine Arm of the Church-SupPer and Delightful Social Time.

Forty members of the Mems league of the Second Congregational church passed a delightful evening in the church parlors on Friday at a rally meeting of the organization. At 7.30 o'clock a clam schowder served by w. E. Geary, followed by cold meats. doughnuts, cheese and coffee, opened the affair, and during the supper hour as we'll as later in the evening music by the Victrola was a pleasing feature. The tables were prettHy decorated with ferns and potted plants, while at each plate was a carnation.
 President Arthur l.. Peale welcomed the large gathering of members and as the speaker of the evening presented Lewis $. Welch of New Haven, who has been prominently identified with the Mems club at the United church in New Haven and also in newspaper work in New Haven and Hartford His subject was The Masculine Arm of the Church. His talk was heard with marked interest by the entire gather ing as he told of the various forces which worked for the upHft of the church and the part that the Mems league can do in 1t. Men who are not identified with the church should be interested in the work, not simply for themselves, but for the betterment of all, for their association and Christian ity. He told of the success that some such clubs have in arranging special evening services, the influence the or ganization has in the church work and the arousing of cooperative action.
 Rev. H. J. WycRoff made pertinent remarks upon the value of such a club and it's influence and aroused his hear CTS to determination for renewed united effort. Past President J. D. Haviland spoke briefly and urged the men to follow the pace the women have set in their organization All were loudly applauded and at the close vote of thanks was extended to MT. Welch for his Illuminating talk, while votes of thanks were also extended to the committee of arrangements and The Plaut-Cadden Co. for the fine music.
 It was decided that the club would have an outing some time next month and Nathan A. Gibbs invited the mem bers and lady friends to hold the out ing on his grounds at Gales Ferry. J. D. Haviland also invited the club to have an outing at his cottage at Pleasant View. one of which, and pos sfbIy both. will be accepted.
 The committee arranging the sue cessful evening consisted of Ebenezer Allen, John Trankla and Frank A. Bill.

DIRT TO FLY SOON. Contractors Making Estimates O Westchester Line.

In an interview a short time ago Leverett $. Miller of New York city, president of the New York, Westches- ter and Northern Railroad company, said that within a few weeks after the New York state public service commis- sion had given the plans for the portion of the proposed line in New York state it's approval dirt would be flying along the right of way of the new road in both New York state and Connecticut
 The legal prelminaries in New York state are practically complete and that MT, Miller's prediction is to be fulfilled is indicated by the fact that contract ors are now making estimates of the cost of construction of various sections of the line for the purpose of submit ting bids for the contractors.
 A party of New York contractors who had been traveling over the line of the proposed road in automobiles were in Hartford Friday and earlier in the week several parties of engineers and contractors spent considerable time in and near Ridgefeld upon sim liar missions.

have been sent all over the county re- garding the changes, and under this new service some additional routes have been started throughout the coun- ty. Where patrons have beeen chang ed from one route to another, or the carrier has been made to go another way to accommodate a greater number. notices have been given the patrons so they can relocoate their boxes so that they will still get the service. Many additional boxes will be found along the routes thereby.
 The cutting out of the star route to Preston City results in the carrier on route No. from the Norwich main office taking the pouch to the Preston station. while it is brought back to this office by No. 3 carrier
 There are nine routes from the Nor wich office and sub-stations, one route going from the Preston station and two from the Norwich station. but they are all under the direction of Postmaster caruthers, whose indefatigable efforts lave resulted in this thorough and far reaching service. There are $500 pa- irons who are served by these nine routes daily, while the county patrons will be much larger in number

MEN TEACHERS
Have Salaries Reduced in Meriden-
 Women Get More.

Official notice of the following cal ary cuts was sent to the male princi- pals in the Meriden public schools Thursday. says the Meriden Record:
 H. D. Beebe. principal of the East grammar school, from $1,60O to s1.20O. w. E. Gardner, principal of Church street school, from s1,600 to s12OO. Joseph Gerard, principal of West grammar school, from $1,S00 to $1,40O. $. w. Warden, principal of North Colony street school, from S1,350 to s1,200. G. Frank Goodale, supervisor of singing, from S1.s00 to $1.40O.
 None of the principals cared to dis cuss the reductions that had been meted out to them by the school com mittee, and, judging from what has happened resignations will be enter tained by the committee at their next meeting or at the end of the present
 MT Beebe said: My self-respect forbids any discussion of the sub ject."
 MT. Warden's comment was: ''If [ was worth $t.350 before as teaching principal. which I always have been, I should certainly be worth more now, instead of less"
 The aggregate sum of S1,800 shaved from the principals salaries goes into the increa SC of the teachers salary appropriation, which must be S3,00O more this year. The women princi- pals will continue to draw their $S50 year. A teachers limit is S750 and it is said that a large number are re- ceiving this salary, which compares favorably with other cities, and it has meant a falling off in resignations.

COUNTY RURAL DELIVERY SERVICE
Will be Started June FrstNne Routes Supplying $500 Patrons Go from the Norwich Office and Station Congressman risgins Hastens the Change.

When Inspector Campbell was in this county last winter looking over the rural delivery routes for the purpose of establishing county service. it was thought that it would be ordered at once. It was delayed, however. but Congressman Higgins has been busy in regard to the matter, and announce ment has been received by Postmaster Caruthers to the effect that the county service will go into effect on June 1st. This will make practically the entire Third congressional district under county service, as it is in effect in Wfndham county.
 This county service will give no addi- tiona1 advantages to the present pa irons, although there are changes made at the suggestion of the inspector on ali of the nine routes except one and five. These changes consist of length ening routes, changing the roads trav- eled and giving service to residents on side roads who can have boxes at the crossroads. The intention in this coun- ty service is to cover the county en- tirely, so that everyone can have rural free delivery by doing as the depart ment directs in placing boxes. Notices

Can Jeffries Get Back?

A wide range of men, not individ- uslly or immediately interested in the prize ring, will watch with keen per sonal attention to see if James Jeff ries "can get back"
 Here is a man once doing with amazing success the most difficult. dangerous and taxing of physical tasks. A fight calls for the highest physical endurance. supreme strength. even temper. quickness, dexterity and skill, all exerted after months of pa- tient preparation. whose fruits must be plucked or lost in moments of extreme tension, when seconds are as long years in their earnings.
 Can he "get back?' Experience is all against him. The moral and phys ical laws are both memorable. What a man sows that shall he reap. What a man builds into body, nerve and mind that will he find when he draws on his reserve. No one can restore to him the years that the iocusts of Ieis- ure and pleasure have eaten. He may like Esau. seek his early birthright of strength, nerve and decision, but he will not obtain it again. though he yearn for ft with tears and with raining-Philadelpf Press.
