COMM EMORATE CENTENARY
 OF MISS PORTER
Former Pupils of Famous School for Girls Will Endow Parish House at Pennington.

There are several New London wo- men among the members of the com mittee arranging for a commemoration of the centenary of the birth of Miss Sarah Porter, for so many years at the head of the noted school for girls in Pennington. Her former pupils will hold a reunion in October, at which time they will endew the Sarah Porter Memorial parish house.
 The date of Miss Porter's birthday is Aug. 16. but the difficulty of getting many of the alumnae from their sum mer homes at that time decided the committee to postpone the celebration to Oct. 15. Luncheon will be served in the Sarah Porter Memorial at 1.3o, the hostess being Mrs. Keep, present head of the school. a former pupil, and widow. of Dr. Robert Porter Keep, nephew of Miss Porter, and until his death principal of the Norwich Free Academy. Following the luncheon, a brief memorial service will be held in the Pennington Congregational church.
 Miss Porter was the third of fam fly of seven children She was born Aug. Is, 1913. At the age of nineteen she entered the school of Dr. E. A. Andrews, the lexicographer, at New Haven and was a member of the fam fly of Prof. Chauncey A. Goodrich of Yale, from which college her brother Noah, later president of Yale, had just been graduated.

PROVOST GUARD FOR
 SOLDIERS FROM THE FORTS.
Expected That 1t WiII Be Located in New London-Police Like the Idea,

It Is reported among soldiers visit ing in New London that a detached provost guard from the island forts will soon be stationed in that city per- manently to deal with soldiers who are unruly while on leave, or who absent themselves from their posts without leave. The proposition is looked on with pleasure by the police, who say the provost guard has a more effective way of handling fraetieus soldiers than they have.
 One rowdy soldier said an enlist ed man, does more to hurt the reputa- tion of a whole company than a whole company of decent soldiers can elinlin- ate in a lifetime. These soldiers do not seem to fear getting into custody of civil authorities, who treat them leniently. A provost eAard will keep them down. for they know what's com ing if they go back to the post for trial in the custody of tho provost"
 In nearly all cities adjacent to army posts provost guards are maintained to govern the conduct of the men not under restraint of garrison life. It is said that the plan will be followed in New London Violators of the military law who conduct themselves unbecom- ingly will be taken by the provost to the forts and tried by summary courts or court matrial. according to the se- verity of their offenses.
