HAVE A LOVE TUTOR IN INDIA
Indian Declares That Women az We'll

posing.

London.-shridhar w. Ketkar, who
Is advertised as cultured East India
gentleman, is now lecturing in Eng.
land on ''The Art of. Making Love in
Ancient India" that, is, prior to the
year 700 A.. D. He is attracting the
attention of elderly ladies with mar.
r1ageable daughters, especially girls
who are becoming somewhat passe,
and may next be heard of in this
country, leap year giving to his in.
formation and instruction an impor.
lance that would otherwise be lacking.
One is most struck says this
guileless Indian, ''by the fact that the
love affairs Of the people of this ear.

classes, were guided and influenced by
the professors Of love. These were

the world, who were paid we'll J; for
their advice. They taught men how to
pay their addresses elegantly and, how
to make good impression upon a
Woman's mind. AS women proposed
as well as men, the professors devised
ingenious means SO that the girls or
the men, who proposed, would, If re.

fessors instructed the young women in
the art OF love making. More often
than not the woman took the initia.
tive and let the man know that she
loved him. M
He thought the present system to
be faulty; that while girls are taught
all the arts Of love by their mammas
and aunties, the boys get no advice
from their fathers, and, growing up
ignorant and inexperienced, become
victims to be stolen by the more OK.
Derienced and intelligent women.

found that they were in such friable state as to
necessitate the strata in which they lay being
dug up In large Jumps; and it was of the
greatest Importance to have them at once placed
IN the hands of experts, they forwarded the
same evening to the Royal College of Surgeons,
LONDON, where they were most carefully and
sktlfully examined by Prof. Arthur Keith the con-
servator of the college. During the next week the
strata each side Of the place where the skeleton
was found were examined and reported on by Mr.
w. Whitaker. FRS, DR.. ]. E. MARI FRS, and
Mr.. George Slater, FIGS. The chalky boulder
clay. under which the bones were lying covers an
immense area in East Anglia, and is a landmark
IN Plelstocene geology. 1t owes it's origin to the
1ce-sheet associated with the last episode of the
great Ice Age, and it's antiquity may be gagged
from the fact that since it's deposition most of
our present river valleys have been formed. Be-
1ore the chalky boulder clay was laid down there
was apparently sandy land-surface to the north
OF Ipswich, and on this and-surface lived the man
whose remains have been found. The flint imple-
ments he and his associates made which were
no doubt, lying on the land-surface before the ad-
vance of the ice have been found in some abun-
dance in the boulder clay, and at the junction of
the clay with the glacial sand and therefore, at
exactly the same horizon as the bones themselves
occurred. These implements, and those from the
underlying middle-glacal gravel, though very
skllfuly made, are Of pre-Palaeolithic FORMS and
there Is no doubt that in pre-boulder clay times
the true Palaeothdc stage of culture had not been
reached.
Yet the man who lived in Britain in the inter
glacial period before the boulder clay was laid
down, and who is, therefore, of vast and un-
known antiquity, was to all intents and purposes
modern man. He stood about 5 feet 10 inches in
height; his head was perhaps trife smaller and
fatter than present-day examples but there was
nothing brutal or simian in his appearance.
Now, the Neanderthal men whose remains have
been frequently found in caves and rock shelters
In the south Of France and elsewhere, and who
lived in these districts in midi alaeolithic times

FAIRFIELD
ABSOLUTELY NO TRUTH
IN EOID-UP STORY
Especial to The Farmer)

Fairfield, March 26-Last evening
we printed short account of an al
legged holdup on Friday evening Of
last week. Since the publication Of
the article we have made investiga-
tions and find absolutely no founda-
ton for the story. No complaints
have been made to the authorities.
and none are to be made. Early yes
terday morning Sheriff Ellwood look
ed up the parties named in the story
of the affair and found that they had
experienced nothing rf the sort. The
story as told by the principals is that
they were in Bridgeport attending a
moving picture show, and arrived in
Fairfield rather late and were some
what frightened on their way home.
They said they imagined someone was
cha sing them and they run upon the
porch of a nearby house. Their do
ing this aroused the inmates of the
house and finding the two girls on
the porch in a rather, excited frame
of mind gave rise to the wild story
of a hold-up. In running home one
of the girls claimed to have dropped
her purse, said to have contained ten
dollars. and when she returned to look
for it wes unable to find it. The two
girls. and the parents of one were
much chagrined at hearing of the
story and asked that it be contradict

STURTEvANT MILLINERY
OPENING FOR SEASON

The millinery opening at the paflors
of Mrs. Sturtevant in the Court Ex-
change building on State street as an
nounced in the Farmer yesterday for
today and tomorrow need no formal
announcement to attract the crowds.
Today the parlors have been thronged
with ladies who seem to enjoy the ex-
hibition, and many favorable COM
ments are heard about the individu-
atty Of the styles shown. The par
lors are situated on the 3rd floor OF
the Court Exchange and are taste
fully decorated for the opening. In
the room where the exclusive styles
are shown Is a look of refinement and
good form. Displayed in attractive
order may be seen some of the most
fetching models exhibited in this city
models which testify highly the ar
Isle ability of the designers Of this
exclusive shop.
The popular primrose red here finds
it's most artistic creations in millin-
cry which will suit the most fastidi-
Gus. The shapes are we'll selected and
the color scheme subdued and exquis-
lite. Ranging from the dainty crea-
tons which best suit the conserva-
tive taste to the more dashing Pari-
sian creations which meet the de-
mand of the stunning dresser 1t seems
almost impossible that any lady
should leave these fine parlors and
this exceptionally attractive display
without finding something in stylish
headwear to suit her.

Demand Resignation
OF Bank Directors
DeposItors Of Windsor Locks
Savings Bank Take
CTdStlC Action
Especial from United Press.)

Windsor Locks, March 26-It will
take at least three years to clear up
the Windsor Locks Savings Bank 8
muddle started by the late A. w. Con-
verse defalcations of $4,000. accord
ing to Bank Commissioner F. P. Holt,
today. If the directors carried their
obstructionist tactics to the Supreme
court it would take three or four years
more, he said.
Meanwhile, considerable suffering is
coming to light among the poor mill
hands who largely made up the bank S
depositors. What saves the town from
complete pauperization is the plentiful
work in the mills.
The depositors in mass meeting last
night voted unanimously for recei-
yership, a step that is being vIgor-
ously opposed by the directors of the
bank. These men deny they are liable
for the deficit, a point that has never
been decided by Connecticut's courts.
Prominent lawyers and the bank COM
missioners contend that the directors
are liable.
The dispute cannot be settled until
receiver is appointed. He would put
the question to the courts at once.
Receivership proceedings will not be
brought until a new judge sits in the
local circuit court, the present judge,
Reed. himself a director of the savings
bank, having declared that directors
are not liable in such cases.
The popular feeling against the d.
reetors was manifested in last nights
mass meeting by the sweeping adop-
ton Of a resolution asking the direc-
tors to resign. A more rigid banking
law for Connecticut was also favored.
