DAVID HALE BANNING.
Sends Gift Of $1,ooo For Windham
 Hall, For Connections Woman's Col


 The nunifcent gift of $1.o00 by Da- vid Hale Tanning of Worcester, form erly of Jewett City, was received here Saturday morning by Mrs. Rienzi Rob-
 inson toward the fund that is being created for the erection of Windham AhaI, one of the proposed group of buildings at the Connecticut College for Women at New Seondon.s
 Some months since MT. Tanning had the proposal of building Windhan hall called to his attention and discussed it with interest, and at the time prom
 ised that he would do something lat
 CT toward forming a nest egg for the fund. The work of creating it
 has Jagged somewhat during the wint-
 CT months, chiefly on account of con-
 ditions created by the war and, in
 lesser degree, for other reasons
 That MT. Tanning does not forget,
 however, was amply illustrated by his
 great generosity when Mrs. Robin
 son opened her mail Saturday morning,
 There seems little doubt that the fine
 gift from MT. Tanning will produce
 the impetus necessary to quickly
 swell the fund to proportions that
 will speedily insure the construc-
 tion of Windham hall and may prove
 an incentive for others of means and
 interested in the grand old county and it's history of liberally supporting ed- ucational projects, to come forward with gifts that will stir enthusiasm and gratitude, as MT. Earnings has done.
 Mrs. Johnson Breaks Leg. Mrs. Frank P. Johnson, 59 years old, of 154 Asylum street, sustained a frac-
