leaves the position he has held just when the office has reached an ex- cellent state of efficiency, many good laws were now in effect. and when the opportunity was ahead for much labor for. the good of the people of the state But" said MT. Lippitt, .:as much as regret giving up my office as commissioner, realize that the course! of politics is very uncertain.
 As bank commissioner his term would have expired on July l, 1915. He was appointed in 1907 to succeed George F. Kendall.
 At the time of his appointment as bank commissioner, MT. Lippitt, who was born in this city on December 25, 1866, was the youngest man ever ap- pointed to that office, but his extensive experience with banking matters fit ted him for the place and in the duties of the position he has earned a reputation for efficiency in examination and given the department a high rat l, ing. MT. Gippitt's banking experi- ence began when he entered the Mer- chants National bank. of this city in 1884. Three years later he entered the service of the Norwich Savings so- ciety, of which his father, Costello Lippitt, a former state treasurer, has been reasurer for a number of years. When he was appointed bank com missioner during the legislative ses- sion of 1906-07, MT. Lippitt was re- ceiving and paying teller of the Nor wich Savings society, having been ap pointed to that position in 1905.
 His new duties will call for the re- mova1 of his residence to New Have l., although during his term as bank commissioner he had retained his resi- dence in this city. He will take up his residence in New Haven almost immediately but his family will not remove from here until the end of the year. Their departure from the city will be greatly regretted by their many friends. MT. Lippitt is 32d degree Mason, with a membership in all the Masonic bodies in Norwich, and his genial and obliging disposition has made him many friends locally and throughout the state.

DECLINES TO CORRECT
 HIS ANNUAL REPORT
Former Selectman John G. Bromley Says Town of Lisbon Cannot Com Del Him,

The adjourned town meeting of Lisbon was held at Newcut Saturday afternoon with a large attendance. As former Selectnan John G. Bromley had made no move to correct or com plete his report, claiming that the town could not force him to do so, the meeting voted to pass over it with out action. His report. therefore, is indefinitely tabled.
 A tax of Is mills was laid to meet the expense of the current year and the matter of fencing the new New ent road was left in the hands of the new board of selectmen, Charles A. Whitaker, Fred L. Kanahan and Charles Budeit. Many voters expressed their pleasure quite forcibly over the fact that the town was now free from the Bromley regime. The meeting, which had already been adjourned twice, was adjourned without date.

What the Charity Organization SO.
ciety thinks Of the International Sun.
shine Society appears from a state
ment recently issued by 1t In which
it says, in part:
"The fundamental weakness of the
Sunshine Society lies in It's misuse
and abuse OF sentiment. 1t was not
founded to deal with definite social
problem. 1t was founded to encour-
age its members to deeds of kindness.
The fact was overlooked that kind
deeds, il improperly directed and If
unintelligently done, though prompt
ed by good intentions, really are not
kind in effect. The society's policy
brought it money. In finding ways
to spend this money it became In

An excellent example of the man
ner in which prominent names are

Anybody can start charity. The
"aims and objects" OF the society are
always worthy. There is never any
difficulty in getting list Of patrons
and patronesses whose names are
calculated to inspire confidence. And
1t would appear from recent disclo-
sures that It Is easy 20 solicit funds.
But how much Is really known of the
work actually done by the society or
in what spirit the "aims and objects"
are really carried out?
William e. George, the originator
and founder OF the George Junior
Republic, has been removed from con-
troll or personal relations with the
little men and women under his
charge. For many months the affairs
of this splendidly conceived charity
have been under investigation and
the shocking disclosures are imprint
able. SO little did the worthy spon.
sors OF the Junior Republic know Of
this man George and the real conduct
of things within the society that
these wretched conditions have been
going on for years unsupported. What
did the guaranty of their names
amount to?
Everybody has heard Of the Inter.
national Sunshine Society. This or
ganization came into existence in
1896 ito scatter deeds of kindness"
It's activities have been SO broadened
in recent years that in addition to
homes for blind babies and children,
which 1t runs, it also conducts num-
Der of sanatoriums or boarding
houses.
But the emotional appeal it makes
for contributions is based almost eX-
clusively on its "blind baby" work.
Even mcying-pictures of "blind
babies" have been used in this emo
tional campaign. How effective the
appeal Is may be Judged from the
fact that the society succeeded in
collecting upward Of $4,000 during
the single year ending May LIST, 1913.
Two Of the sanatoriums conducted
by this society are the Bensonhurst
Sanatorium for convalescents at

This Mixing of Both Sexes Is Criticised.

But sometimes this investigation
Ia q little too extensive and much
too expensive. In the case of a
worthy widow. Mrs. Maggie Ustich,
for instance, it was discovered that

and last in investigating her WORTH
ness and she finally received
various sums aggregating less than
S300-i- Cost $1,000 to decide about
disbursing $500.
Many other instances might be
cited to show how necessary 1t Is
for the person who desires to give
TO exercise little discrimination In
doing so.
The Merchants Association OF
New York issues some very valuable
"don'ts," which it might be well for
every one to observe:
I. Don't give to collector just to
get rid OF him. Frauds flourish upon
the folly of people who do this,
>. Beware Of one-man organlza-
tons.
3. Don't give to any organization
which does not have it's accounts
satisfactorily audited yearly and
which is not willing to make public
annually financial statement.
4. The fact that woman appeals
to you for contribution does not
necessarily imply that the charity
In which she Is Interested is worthy.
Fraudulent charitable enterprises
are quite as often conducted by
women as by men.
s. Many appeals for money en-
large upon the sufferings OF the poor.
Because there is misery In New York
is not proof Of an agency's efficiency.
Find out what the society in aues-
uon is doing to stop this suffering,
and give accordingly.
6. Always Investigate before you
subscribe. There Is no disgrace In
giving wisely.
