NORWEGIAN BOOKS hTEIf F..
New Department Started at New
 Britain Institute.

A new department Of the New Britain Institute will he opened next week when the first volumes of a col lection of Norwegian literature will be placed on the shelves. The com- pIete works of Henrik IbSen, the Norwegian dramatist and poet, and the complete works of BjornstjeTne Biornson the Norwe gian author, par ticularIy famed for his novels, haze just arrived and are now being in deXed.
 Norwegian literature has been well represented in the New Britain lr- stitute in translatio but heretofore not one book in the original has been on the shelves. This has been due largely to the fact that the proportion Of Norwegians in the city is small compared to other nationalities and also to the fact that the NorWegia ms residing here have taken Swedish books from the library, the differences ir the two languages being easily mas tered with a little study.
 Ibsen and Bjornson are the best known of the modern Norwegian writers and their works form an ex- cellent nucleus for a select collection of volumes. Some trouble is experi- enced in getting the books from Nor way because of the war, but other books will be added shortly

COLLEGE HEADS TO MEET.
Conference of Massachusetts 1nstitu'
 tions to Be Held January 6.

Boston, Jan. IA conference of presidents of Massachusetts univer- sites and colleges will be held here on January for the purpose of forming a cooperative organization for public service on broad scale. The invitation for the meeting was extended by the commission on eX- tension courses of those institutions in Boston and vicinity which for five years have offered courses of college grade to the public.
 The successful working of our eX- periment' says the invitation, has suggested that cooperative organiza- tion for public service on a broader scale on the part of all the college and similar institutions of Massachu- setts might make possible an advance in university extension and might also aid in bringing about other desired ends, such as the formation of com mon plans for thetraining of teachers and more systematic provision for expert technical service by academic officers to the state and municipali- ties.'

BRODERICK BROTHERS
 SETTLE DIFFERENCES
Bishop and Brother, Who Have Been Antagonistic to Each Other Drop
 Litigation Proceedings.

Hartford, Jan. 1.-David k. Broder ick of Pennington and his brother, Bishop Bonaventure F. Broderick of Saugerties, N. ", who. at one time, was connected with the Roman Cathol- ic diocese of Hartford, have settled all of the differences in which they were antagonistic to each other, it was learned yesterday. As this necessa1>- ly implies, all of the litigation in which they were on different sides has been dropped, and the bishop and his brother who had been on the outs for considerable time, are in frlend- 1y relations, it was indicated yester- day. During the summer of 1913, Judge Marcus H. Holcomb, then a su- perior court judge, and who, on Wednesday of next wek, will be in augurated as governor of Con necticut, was engaged for several weeks in hearing a suit in the super for court in which Bishop Broderick and John A. Sullivan, an ex-congress- man of Massachusetts, were plaintiffs, and David F. Broderick, the brother of the bishop, was the defendant. Bishop Broderick and MT. Sullivan had the contract, operating as Dono-
 
 sewers and a water system in Clen- fuegos, Cuba. David was their man. ager for the construction. On the final settlement with the Cuban govern ment, they alleged that David Brod- erick did not turn over to them all of the money they were entitled to and they sued him. Judge Holcomb rem dered a judgment against David for a trivial sum IS compared to the amount which Bishop Broderick and MT. Sullivan claimed was due. They were aggrieved by that decision and they gave notice of an appeal to the supreme court and David was also aggrieved and he gave notice of an appeal. Both appeals have been With drawn in view of the amicab ble rela- tions that now exist between the brothers.
 During the trial before Judge Hol- comb each one of the brothers got ex- cited when talking of the other They both have many friends hereabouts and it will be a glad New Years tid- ines to many to know that the broth- CTS have adjusted their difficulties

NO WARRANT FOR
 GLOOM OR DESPAIR
Secretary Redf|c|d Tells Merchants and Manufacturers of Country.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Heartened ness outlook of the nation, Secretary Redield of the commerce department wrote yesterday of the New Years greeting to the merchants and manu- them, in characteristic language, to reach out for the prosperity which he sees within their grasp.
 There is no warrant, MT. Redfield declared, for gloom or despair The ill effects of the Europeans war on American enterprise are passing and new Vistas for commercial ventures are opening with each new day. His mes sage follows:
 Do Your Share.
 If you want prosperity do your own share to bring it-afd DO TT NOW! Get that addition on your shop going; it will cost you less to- day than six months hence. Is trade a bit dull in the works? Get those improvements begun. Prices are low and likely to rise. You've been think ing of that contract work; better start it yourself before things get the start of you.
 This country slows down a bit now and then, but it never stops growing and it always moves up and not down. We don't know what it means in most of the United States to have real, general distress. Think of Belgium and Poland, o man with grouch, and slink into your hole and pull it after you. There think of your sins and your blessings and come out with your courage in working order.
 Good Examples of Pluck.
 'Therc are lots of good American examples of pluck. Do you remember San Francisco and Galveston and Chicago-Boston, Charleston, Balti- more and Dayton and many others like them? Remember Thomas A. Edison and lots of others of your fel- low citizens who showed pluck when things were hard.
 "Nothing's the matter with the man with a grouch except an absentee heart and missing nerve. Cheer up, 20 to work do your level best. quit talking misery. The wars over yon- der--not here. Men are slaughtered vonder--they are living here. It's all clouds there-clear day here.
 Good Place After All.
 Get out and sell some goods. Plant so1nc more acres; do more work than vou planned. Talk cheerful talk and you'll find this country ot ours pretty good place after all.
