GOVERNOR TO CHILDREN.
Sends Message to Them Concerning
 Trees and Birds.

Friday, April IS. will be Arbor and Bird day, and through the state board of education Governor Baldwin sends the following message to the school children:
 What can children do for trees and birds?
 A good many things Here are a few Of them:
 They can keep from breaking branch es off from their neighbours trees; from cutting the bark off their neigh : bors silver birches; from building fires in hollow tree trunks and from leaV- ing any fires burning which they may have set in the woods
 They can Keep from robbing birds nests, and shooting song birds They can encourage birds to nest in their gardens by hanging up on the trees in the Springtine bits of twine or raveled threads that can be used to build the nests. They can put out food in the winter when the snow covers the ground and bushes, for the birds that winter with us to eat
 Let these serve as samples of what any child in country town finds right at hand to do. The city child has fewer chances. but every park and bit of neighboring woodland brings him some.
 If everybody, young or old, does what he can, according to his oppor- tunities, to preserve and multiply our trees and birds, he does his duty by them To do less is to fail of duty of duty to the state.

NORWICH TOWN
EathreP Missionary Society Meets interesting Session of Reading Cir cie-The Days Events.

The meeting of the Lathfep Memo rial Foreign Missionary society held
 Wednesday afternoon in the chapel of the First Congregational church was a pleasant and interested gather ing for the study of medical missions and their work in China After the reading of the report of the last
 meeting by the secretary, Mrs. Walter Potter, the mite box was opened It was found to contain six dollars and eighty-one cents, exactly the sum that was found in the box when opened a year ago. The Easter offering was ten dollars so that the amount to be forwarded to the treasurer of the Eastern Connecticut branch, Miss Learned of New London, will be sev- enteen dollars.
 Sanitary precautions are not general 1y understood in China, hence condi- tions in the great cities generate all the terrible contagious diseases. One of the finest products of missionary pioneering in medicine has been the young Chinese physicians trained in Western medicine.
 The hospitals and training schools established by Women's boards and their widespread influence for good, the great need in these hospitals for bet ter equipment. Some instructive facts about unsanitary equipment. the na- tive methods of treating disease the entire absence of any precautionary measures such as isolation and fumi- gation were told by Mrs G. H. Ewing from her experience and observation.

$aso0o GOO WOULD BUILD
 FINE CONNECTICUT ROADS. Highspay Commissioner Says He Could Malee Trunk Line to Be Proud Of.

Give me s5.e09.oee for the repair and construction or permanently pay ed state trunk highways, and I will give Cunnsctocut a system of roads that It will be proud of," declared State Highway Commissioner Bennett before the committee on appropriations Tuesday at Hartford
 Commissioner Bennett stated that his request. for this large appropriation was based upon careful study of the situation, resulting in the conclusion that only by undertaking the work on comprehensive scale can the state put Its highways in proper condition and get its moneys worth out of the funds invested in road building.
 The commissioner Sa1d that it would be easy to demonstrate the economy of 8 lump expenditure to put a big trunk line in condition through the state, from the New York line to the Massachusetts line along the shore, and through the Connecticut valley, with branch continuing along the shore as far as the Rhode Island line
 That such a highway would be an important competitor of the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad and would enable the economical handling of large shipments by automobile trucks, was one of the facts brought out by the commissioner in response to the questioning of the committee.
 T believe in the construction of per manent1y paved highways, similar to fWarranite in character though not necessarily of that material said Highway Commissioner Bennett to the committee.
 Such a road. with a smooth hard surface, would enable the shipments of goods from city to city and even from one eEd of the state to the other by means of auto truck. in conn petition with the railroad. and at a cost below the prevailing freight rates. The advantages of trunk line high way of this kind would make the cost a good business improvement for the state, and while the first expense of building tn road might be heavy, the subsequent expense of maintenance would be greatly reduced and the ben fits from the highways largely en- hanced."
 The commissioner explained that while the usual amount requested for the construction and maintenance of highways was $2,0o0,000. in this fn- stance he was asking $5,000, 000 to avoid piecemeal work and make a cofn- plete job of it.

GAVE TALK ON
 EMBROIDERY AND LACE
Miss Mary Patterson Spoke at Con-
 verse Art Gallery.

Miss Mary Patterson from the l School of Design at Providence, R. l., gave an interesting talk at the schooi
 rooms in the Converse Art gallery on V ednesday afternoon Her subject l WAS embroidery and lace and was I- frustrated by valuable specimens Of beautiful handiwork of many nations. The oldest included several pieces of e1n broidery found in the tombS of the ancient Egyptians There was hand some Spanish altar cloth of the 18th
 century in reticella and several early
 Greek eInbroideries- The first authen-
 tic history of embroidery we have is
 that of Egypt in 5000 B. C. Paintings
 of that date show individuals making
 net and embroidery Garments, cur
 tains and even the. sails of galleys
 were embroidered Tyre and Sidon
 were treat centers for these goods Baby1onia also furnished magnificent
 specimens There are many refer ences in the Bible to these ancient e1n-
 broideries, which were of a soft, rich splendor-gold and colored threads be- ing used in them Greece was the
 lradle of ernbroideries as practiced to-
 day and there are many historical
 references in her early literature to
 this art C1oaks. veils and net works
 of gold thread are mentioned. The
 borders of garments were richly dec
 orated. The earliest designs were
 formless and seemingly taken from
 sea life Later came geometrical de-
 signs and stronger contrasts in color
 Aa1ues- There has always been a tre-
 mendous interest in embroidery
 shown in the extensive wardrobe of the
 goddess Athena's statue and. later, of
 the Virgins. Green embroidery pass
 GG by descent to the Romans, where it
 was concentrated, and comes down to
 us with lapse of time. Its trans
 mission was mostly by sea to other
 countries. It has been fostered by
 the church as well as by royalty. In
 England it became a high art in the
 chief occupation and recreation.
 Knfghtly families sent their daughters
 10 learn of their sovereign lady-all of whom were experts. from Bertha, mother of Charlcmagne,. down to Queen Elizabeth. Early embroidery was largely decorative This grew into the pictorial which was especially used Tn the middle ages. Many famous tapestries date from this period. True was made with the needle upon either q warp or wool. Famous artists made designs for these old en nbr roideries and Ci ca costume for Catherine de Me dIei-made designs which have been 1 copied in all countries. About the l 9th century. France introduced floral 1 de signs. Gradually embroidery be- 1 ! inen, which had always been used in i Egypt and Assyria, became the favor. l .te material, and the reticella the fla | x orite style of work. From this drawn l or cut work it was an easy step to | lace making which began in the 18th | e ntury.

 The new building has been styled by
 association workers one of the most
 up-to- date plants for city of its size.
 The gymnasium wing, 50x70, occupies
 the ground floor. where there are also
 four bowling alleys. Turkish baths,
 swimming pool, locker rooms. etc.
 Outside there is room for several ten

 The loca ton of the association build ing is particularly favorable to the work. It is in the middle of the city, with a factory across the street ern pioying a thousand hands. and the big hi~h school building two blocks away.
 The present secretary of the associa- ton, George D. Beckwith, is to become boys secretary under MT. Starkey and a great development in the boys work is looked for
 With his departure from Norwich General Secretary Starkey will leave behind him a fine record of accom- plishment in the two years he has been here. In one way this is indicated by membership figures when he came here and now Then there was a member ship of 442, now it is 875. When he came here it was from the Buffalo as sociation, where he had been in the work for Il 1-2 years. the largest part of that time at the head of the relig- ious work department. It was his rec ord to bring the Buffalo association up from twelfth 10 fourth place in all- around religious work. What this promised in his co1nino to Norwich has been realized to the satisfaction of the officers Of the local association The religious department of the association work received new and effective im- pulse from General Secretary Starkey, The Sunday afternoon meetings were every week through the winter. shop meetings in five shops m the city were carried on successfully, the Bible study classes were promoted and most recently the association came into line on the extension movement by raising fund of s250 fer work in okio.
