The Chicago Glee Club.

Those who were fortunate enough
to be present at College Hall We'd
nesday evening enjoyed the greatest
treat ever presented to a Hartford
audience. It is not often that town
the size of Hartford can secure such
talent as the Chicago Glee Club. The
College Lyceum Course made it pos
sible. and Mr.. Brown and the teach
ers associated with him deserve
much credit for the marked success
which has attended their efforts for
several years. For almost two hours
the audience was keyed up to the
highest tension. and every number
was a thriller. Every member of the
club was an artist in his line. Mr..
Dixon's presentations were SPLEEN
did and his portrayal of the Hoosier
and Riley's poems were features of
the evening. Hartford is Justly proud
of her Lyceum Course and of her
school which renders 1t possible.

Edison Plant DESTROYED,

West Orange, N. j.. Dec. 9.-Fire
destroyed virtually the entire main
plant Of the Edison company here
might, with damage estimated at
100000, with about $4,000, 900
insurance. 1t started probably from
an explosion in the inspection build
ing.
The entire block of modern rein
forced concrete buildings, supposed
to be fireproof. was burned. The
only building saved in the block was
the laboratory building containing
valuable machinery under the imme-
date supervision of the inventor.
Thomas A. Edison. Special, efforts
to save this were successful. Il is
estimated that 5000 men and wo-
men will be thrown out of work by
the fire. Edison said he will rebuild

Bumper Crops In Germany.

Germany, according to a German
agent in New York, convey an off,
cial statement just issued by the Ger
man Agricultural Council, a semi
official body showing that the crops
have turned out better than the Az
erage yield, and that the country Will
be able feed iself for year. In
the same manner as Germany made
military preparations said the agent,
it carefully considered the question,
of feeding its army, navy, aud people
at home during possible war. Proof
of this is the German export of grain
in recent years, Germany in 1913
produced almost 1850. 900 tons of
rye and 4,666,000 tons of wheat. It
was able to export a million more
tons of rye than it imported, yhile
the import of wheat exceeded the
exports by 100000 tons.
Taking these two kinds of bread
stuff together, the home supply
lacked less than a million tons Of
meeting the requirements of home
consumption. This shortness, at the
present time, is being made up by
feeding cattle with oats in place
Of the usual mixture of rye and oats.
Although Germany's crop this sea-
son was heavy it has been gathered
during the past two months as ex-
peditiously as in times Of peace.
This work was effectively aided by
the action of the students of univef-
stiles, scholars of the lower schools
and women from the industrial CEN
tiers. who went to the country dis
tricts to assist in the garnering Of
the crops.

AMERICA SAVED
BELGIAN PEOPLE
Prevented Starvation of Citizens
Whose Grain the Germans
Had Taken.

Rotterdam, Holland, Dec. =
For the past fortnight we all have
been living on American food, and
1t saved US from Starvation was
the statement made by a Belgian
committeeman distributing American
relief shipments in Liege Province.
"All our grain was exhausted" he
continued, because all of 1t was re-
Questioned for the use of the Ger
man army. With the exception of
a small supply of meat and a meagre
quantity of field crops we had moth
ing.
"Our people knew food was ex-
pected from America. and it's arrival
was the sole topic of conversation
throughout the province. Because
1t did not arrive the first day they
heard Of its dispatch the poorer class
es began to become anxious, and their
anxiety increased daily. When they
became aware that food from Amer
lea actually was in Liege. they were
almost frantic with joy.
The Americans have saved us
from starvation was the cry on
every lip. Every American seen in
Liege was hailed as q benefactor.
Whenever an automobile carrying
the American flag passes in the
streets the people take off their
hats"
The Belgian citizens stated that
the Relief Committee has estab-
lished system of virtual commun-
ism. Bankers are the servants of thex
in which they live.

WOMEN CROWDING
men IN PROFESSIONS
Increasing Share Of Work is Be-
Ing Performed by the
Weaker Sex.

Washington, Dec. 5.-A constant.
ly increasing share of the brain
work of the United States is being
performed by women. according to
United States census figures just
published. Women are crowding
the men in the professions. The re-
port on occupations shows that in
the professions there are total of
1,S25,127 persons. OF these. 1.151.-
709 we're males, and 673,41S were
females, the males constituting SO. 1
per cent of the total and the females
36.9. Thus, in 1910. there were four
women to every seven men in pro-
fessional work.
That women are more largely en-
gagged in professional work, as COM
pared with men, than in other occu-
pations, is shown by the fact that in
1910 the males constituted 1873 per
cent of the total of all occupations
while the females constituted only
21.2 per cent of all, as compared
with 36.9 per cent of professional
occupations.
OF the elevn classes into which
professional occupations are divided
by the census experts, women had a
preponderance over men in actual
numbers in two classes, constitut-
ing 60.6 per cent of all the "musi-
clans and teachers of music" and
1872 per cent of the school teach
ers and professors in colleges" In
every class except (actors) the per-
centage of increase was greater
among the women than the men.
The most notable increases occurred
in the professions of "clergymen
religious and charity
where the increase for the
women was 1898 per cent as COM
pared with 14.9 for the men; and in
the profession of journalists,
where the females increased their
by 90.7 as compared with
only 81 for the men.

"WOmen DO Drive Men To Drink,

George E. Page of the District Court

when his dream of a tidy. orderly

disgrace upon themselves.
"And don't forget the cooking" is
his warning. MANY homes have

An official announcement was
made from Berlin this morning that
the German forces occupied LODI
Sunday. Storms interfered with the
transmission of meager news from
the Russian and German headQuart-
ers. and until this flash from Berlin,
little had sifted through from the
battles in Poland more than state
ments to the effect that severe fight
ing was in progress. Since the dar-
ing attempts of the Germans to force
the Russian center near Lodz had
apparently failed. reports indicated
that the Germans had formed an en-
tirely new battle line on which fight
ing had begun. For days past all
interest has been conferred in Poland.
Little fighting has occurred in the
western field recently, and last
nights official statement from Paris
said there was nothing to report.
The Turkish cruiser Goeben was
struck by fifteen shells and lost 126
men in the recent battle with the
Russian feet in the Black Sea, &C
cording to dispatch from Athens.
