At the conclusion of business at the
Board of Trade session Samuel H.
Davis. upon invitation of the educa-
tonal committee, gave a spirited ad-
dress on The Natural Facilities and
Needs of Westerly that evoked consid-
cradle discussion. Mr.. Davis told of
Wilcox park being the handsomest in
New England, the striking feature of
the model civic center of Westerly, of
the unexcelled beauty of the coast, of
the warm bathing at Watch Hill, the
water being warmed by the nearness
to the gulf stream and the heated
waters that come from the coves AMI
ponds through the breachways, of the
many commanding hills for cottage
sites. of the many available sites along
the Paweatuck river for industrial pur-
poses. of the superiority of Westerly
granite over all other GRANTEES, and of
Westerly as the most desirable place
for residence and business in New
England. He spoke at length upon tbs
natural facilities of Westerly and laid
stress upon what the granite business
of the town should be, and by way +
illustration read advertisements from a
trade journal in which many firms ad
vertised Westerly granite as especial
~. but undoubtedly furnished inferior
stock. He said that the world should
know of Westerly granite and be given
to understand that Westerly granite
could be obtained in Westerly. Mr..
Davis said what. Westerly needed was
hand of hustlers a band of rustlers
and widespread advertising so that
the resources of Westerly should be
known elsewhere. He advocated sys-
tematic advertising.

John J. Carney took exception to Mr..
Davis intimation that some of the ad-
vertisers who advertised Westerly
granite We're palming off an inferior
granite to customers. He personally
knew two of the firms, mentioned, had
worked at stonecutting with some of
the members 20 years ago, and that
two of the firms at the present time,
although located elsewhere, owned and
were developing granite quarries in
Westerly. Mr.. Carney said one of the
needs was a return to the old plan,
when the principal business in the
granite trade was the furnishing Of
finished stock. quarried and manufac-
tured in Westerly. while at present the
bulk of the trade was the furnishing OF
stock In the rough. The time was when
over 500 skilled Stonecutters were en-
ployed or Quarry HILL while now there

The fate of the amendn ent to
the United States Constitution,
which is now before the States for
their action on it, giving the gov
eminent power to tax all incomes
in excess of $1,000 is still uncer-
tain. There are 46 States which
have to act on it, so it takes 35
of them to ratify it, as the consti-
tuition requires that at least three
fourths of the States must vote IN
favor of an amendment in order to
make it part of the constitution.
The Legislatures of 80 of the
States have already acted 6 hav-
ing rejected it and 80 accepted it.
This leaves 40 States which have
not taken any action in regard to
it. and if 5 of them should vote to
ratify it that would insure its
adoption. In this State the last
Legislature had the amendment "e-
fore it and the Senate voted to
ratify, while the House of Dele
gates voted against it. This leaves
it so that the next Legislature c; n

KILLS WAR CHIEF.

Henri Maurice Berteaux. Minis
ter of War of France, was killed
and Premier Monis injured when a
monoplane driven by NJ. Train
plunged into the Ministerial group
at Issy les Molineaux, France, May
4.
Train, who piloted the machine
causing the havoc, carried a passen-
ger, but neither was hurt, although
the monoplane was wrecked.
Premier Monis was buried beneath
the wreckage, sustaining compound
fractures of two bones in the right
leg; his nose was broken, and his
face was badly confused.
The Minister of War was horribly
mangled.
The race was abandoned.
The general opinion was held that
the lesson learned from the catas-
trophe was that the rule prohibit
ing spectators on the aviation field
is one that should not be violated
even by official of the Government.

ADVISES BOYS AND GIRLS To PAINT

In a practical tolk on landscape
painting for boys and girls, in the
June Woman's Home Companion,
the author says;
eff you wish to discover the real
beauty of the out of doors, learn to
paint. Even though you do not
yet draw very we'll, you may still
attempt to work in color, and may
learn drawing and painting in the
same picture. If you can get the
shape of objects fairly well, and
can set them down in their relative
proportions, that will do for a be-
ginning.
If you con study with a good
landscape teacher by all means do
so. If that is not possible, there is
still much that you can dolby your
self, for nature is the great teacher,
and everyone who wants to paint
we'll goes constantly to nature. Go
out into the fields, and look, and
then with the best skill you have
pat. down what you see. Every tine
you look and study, you will paint
better for it.

and fidelity have always been com
mended. Always generous III his
contributions, the successful com
pletion of the attractive new church
