He is the High school correspond ent of the Herald and succeeded in keeping his new laurels from the type until today. Bassette defeated his cousin, E. Bassette, for the tennis crown. Both played through the preliminary sets and succeeded in wedding out all other aspirants. When it came to the final clash Harold Bas- sette was too much for his relative.

The war, however, renders many in- vestors somewhat cautious, and cap- ital generally insists upon and se- cures good terms, notwithstanding the abundance of money and credit.
 Tn spite of 8 reactionary movement, which may or may not extend, there has thus far been no real loss of buoyancy in the stock market. Ac- tivity has been maintained at an un- precedented level and there are as yet no material symptoms of it's abatement. The undertone is strong; the speculative spirit is thoroughly awakened, and shows a disposition to turn from the somewhat hazardous war shares to industrials and other securities of more substantial char acter. This change in the drift of speculation is both wise and welcome; the cratic gyrations of the war group having been violent enough at times to threaten the whole market. The recent decline has served to eliminate weak spots and bring in fresh buy ing.

TO UNITE
 FOR CITIZENSHIP
Decide to Abandon Old Country
 Ties For America

Concluding that all home ties have been severed by the terrible mas sacres to which they are being sub- jected by the Turks and Kurds, the Persian-Assyrian people of New Brit ain have decided that America is good enough for them and propose to make this country their permanent home. With the aim of fostering this idea the Tiglet Pieleser society," which was organized a year ago, has taken quar- ters in Begley's block on Main street and will open 8 night school to teach the Persians the English language and how to become American citizens with the hyphen extracted. It will be the aim of the society to bring all their fellow countrymen into the ranks and they will invite prominent law yers and other citizens to address them and aid in the necessary teach ing. The society has a sizeab1e mem- bership and has $2OO in it's treasury.
 Officers have been chosen as fol- lows: M. B. Sulliman, president; Israel Peters, past president; David Benjamin, prelate; Joseph Sarkhoosh, treasurer; Ephriam Isrnail, secretary, e1A1C 4NNAe1 AI ILSIlOO, dSSlSIdHl SSCIS- tary; Abraham Badal, guard; David Badal; sergeant at arms, and Abra- ham Marcus and Philip Palus, trustees.
 The executive committee is com- posed of Israel Peters, chairman; Baba Palus, secretary; David Ella, Foshia B. Babila and Nvia B. Eshoo. The society is declared to be the only one of it's kind in the country and it's plan of campaign is unique and may prove of important and far reaching character, because if it is successful here will no doubt be followed by the Persians in other cities throughout the country.

 Where there are no sidewalks and a trolley line in street, children should be taught to walk on the opposite side Of the street from the trolley line.
 Where there are no sidewalks chil- dren should be taught to walk on right side of road not more than two abreast; better in single file
 Children should not be allowed to cross and recross the road except when absolutely necessary.
 There shall be no playing of games in the roadway or any movements on the part of children to puzzle drivers of motor vehicles.
 Teachers are instructed to spend al least 20 minutes a week in instructing the children along this line and also to watch the children on their way to especially requested to see that the children obey them when out of school The increasing use of motor vehicles on the highways has made 1t impera- tive that extraordinary care be ob- served
