DECORATORS PREPARE
 ARMORY FOR ANNUAL AUTOMOBILE SHOW

Decorators today took charge of the state<armory and began the work of transferring the dreary\ drill shed into harmony color scene the like of which has not been seen here before The decorations are for the fourth an nua1 autotonaobile show, which, under the auspices of the Connecticut Coast Artillery corps and Naval Reserves, commences Monday, continuing all week.
 Garlands of tropical foliage will be suspended between the trees of "Palmland" at the show. These will be trained in graceful festoons, ground pine, southern smilax and ern forests, being used.
 From the intricacies of these gar lands will peep many lights. their ra- diance softened by the shadows of the greenery the whole giving the effect of myriad gigantic fire flies. The idea of the foliage will also be carried out in the decorations of the balcony front, some being painted on strips of canvas which will conceal the balus- trade. A profusion of real foliage will also be used to beautify the gal lery extending around the armory.
 The properties required for the setting have already arrived and all indications point to a more beautiful at a similar exhibition before. The idea of "Palm1and" lends itself to the construction of the wide spaces in the state arnlory and the decorations are expected to reproduce in full the lux uriance S~ a tropical forest without detracting in any way from the view of the exhibits.

 A certain great ball player has a spouse who is inclined to be just bit henpeckish. She is very particular about her home. and everxtI.:.:=-= has to be just so-so. She is not at all interested in hubby's profession, and iL was only after several years of pleading that she was induced to wit ness ball game late last season. Hub by wanted to show off before his wife, and he played the game of his life. In the ninth inning-such things aI- ways happen in the ninth-his turn came to bat. The game was tied, and a run meant victory. The bat boy had arranged the Diff sticks in a neat row, and gave hubby his favorite ash.. After two strikes had been call ed on him. he landed on the pill for what looked like a sure home run. Throwing his bat to one side, hubby streaked off for first. Tn the silence that preceded the storm of applause a feminine voice rang out from the grand stand:
 Obadiah, you come right back and put that bat where it be1ongs!"

GERMAN BUTCHER GETS COLD

Berlin, Feb. 18-Most of the gold in Germany is in the imperial bank by now, but that there is still some in hiding was proved recently when a Fuerstenwa1d butcher advertised that he would sell fat in five pound lots to persons who paid in gold, and in one pound lots to those who paid in paper or silver.
 The advertisement caused a verita- b1e run on the butcher shop-so scarce is fat-and at the end of the first day the butcher was able to turn in almost a. thousand marks in gold. People came not only from Fuersten- wald but from neighboring towns and villages with the gold they hoarded up.

THE NATIONAL BIRD.

Some of the Pacifists have recently been expressing their dislike of the Eagle, used as a national American symbol. To their minds, the eagle is a bird of prey, a robber and thief. arrogant and overbearing. They re- gard him as unsufted to represent peace loving, industrious America.
 The eagle is of course a militaristio bird. His great power and daunt1ess courage make him typical fighter. His picture displayed on the banners of Ancient Rome gave the battling 1egions confidence and courage.
 This aspect of the eagles nature seems inappropriate to our national habits. But the eagle also stands. for a marvelously clear vision, He rises to vast heights, and his clear seeing eye over1ooks the whole landscape. That is certainly symbolistio of our American freedom of thought. Our properity and social advances are due to the c1earness with which our people have discerned certain truths which the Old World has been slow to re- cognize.
