MYSTERIOUS FIRE AT
 SUBMARINE BASE.
Several Thousand Dollars Worth of Damage to Docks, Coal Pockets and Storehouses.

A fire of mysterious origin did sev- eral thousand dollars damage to the docks, coal pockets and storehouses at the new United States government base on the Thames river late Mon day night. Officers in charge at the navy yard are reticent as to the de- tails.
 The New London city fire depart ment was sent to the fire and after a hard fight succeeded in preventing the blaze from spreading.
 The monitor Tonopah, the submarine E-1 and the repair ship Fulton, which were tied up at the dock, were hur- riedly lowed out into mid-stream as it was feared that the flames might spread to them. Five other submarines, anchored in the river, were not in danger.
 It is said by the fremen that three unloaded torpedoes. valued at about 5000 each, were destroyed num- Der of torpedoes, stored in large shed, were removed to a safe distance. soon after the fire started, according to the firemen.
 The blaze is said to have started in a coalbin and the firemen incline to the belief that it was of incendiary origin. The naval officers decline to discuss the fire.

KNIGHT OF MALTA IN
 FULL RiTUALIsTic FORM
To Be Worked for First Time in Co.,
 lumbian commandery, K. T.

An event of particular importance to the sir knights of Columbian com mandery, No. 4, K. T., and their guests is to be enjoyed at the Masonic temple on Wednesday evening when there will be witnessed the complication of the order of the Knight of Malta, with the full elaborate ritualistic accessories and proper dignity that accords with this degree. It will be the first time that the degree has ever been present ed in full form in this city.
 The Malta corps of officers who will present the work comprises:
 Eminent Prior = Elm. Sir James c. Macpherson.
 Lieutenant Commander Elm. Sir Albert s. Comstock-
 Captain General-Em- Sir Nelson J. Ayling.
 Prelate-Em Sir E. Allen Bidwell.
 Marshal - Elm. Sir George E. Par sons.
 Captain of the Outpost = Elm. Sir Charles B. Chapman.
 Treasurer-Sir John c. Averill
 Recorder-Sir Frederick w. Lester
 Table Guards = Sir Anton Nelson, Sir Roy D. Judd, Sir Claudius V. Pen dleton, Jr., Sir Arthur G. Crowell, Sir Harry B. Ford, Sir Ernest J. Jones Sir Herbert R. Kind, Sir Paul H. Zahn W. Gale. Elm. Sir s. Alpheus Gilbert Sir Louis H. Geer, Sir Guy B. Dol beare, Sir J. Oliver Armstrong.
 Trumpeters-Sir Aubrey w. Jarvis Sir James A. Parker.
 Sentinel-Sir James c. Fitzpatrick.
 The possibility of Columbian con- mandery having this degree exempli- fled in full form was presented at the conclave or Christmas day, the ritual fstic accessories for the degree having recently become the property of Co., lumbian commandery by gift from one of its eminent sir knights, and the working of this degree in full ritual istic form will constitute the crownine achievement of the present adminis- tration of Columbian commandery
 The Malta degrees are appendani to those of the Temple, the two pre- ceding being that of ulustrious order of the Red Cross and that of the Tenn pie. The ritual and ceremony of the Temple degrees are familiar to every sir knight, but the Malta degrees in full form are seldom seen. Because of the symbolic and historic value these degrees are among the most ceremonious and detailed in Masonry. The Malta corps of Washington com mandery, No. l, Hartford, is the most notable exponent of the work con- nected with the degrees in the entire country. the same group of men hav- ing worked together in conducting 1t for many years, and having exempli- fled in several different states This Malta corps has been the only one in the state and in New England that has exemplified the degrees In full form and it will be an innovation to have a Malta corps in Norwich.

HOW TO GET RID OF CHRONIC DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get perman- ently rid of either oily or dry dandruff is to remove the conditions that cause t and then Keep the hair and scalp in permanent, clean, healthy, viEor- ot1B state 50 dnndruft will never re- turn. This beats shampoos or head washes which merely drive away dand- ruff for a few days at most. Lee 6 Qn9ood and e number of other better druggists in this vicinity are now strongly recommending a harmless. ir- expensive and quick acting preparation called Parisian Sage that they say Ia guaranteed to act directly on the cause of dandruff and which already has become known far and wide as a safe and efficient treatment which cannot possibly injure hair or scalp.
 Here Is test worth trying. Get a package of Parisian Sage. Rub a lit- tie of it into the scalp with the finger tips and see for yourself how the daudrum disappears, the hair stops falling out, the itching vanishes. and a new and vigorously healthy appear ance comes over the hair. Good look ing hair is half the battle in any man or woman's personal appearance and nothing hurts the hair more than dandruf. Try a little Parisian Sage and begin at once to be rid of 1t.

WHAT ALLIED THE PICTURE.
Artist from Lyme Could Not Solve
 Grand Rapids Puzzle.

The art critic of the New York Sun day World writes: George Bellows, whose skill has ample inspiration and reward in current art, has just nar- rowly escaped fame as a futurist in Grand Rapids. Mich, owing to the hanging of his painting entitled The Blue Pool. Since Dec. Grand Rap ids has been enjoying an exhibition of the work of twelve eminent Amer ican painters among them Mir Bel lows. The examples are all good, but MT. Bellows presented itself as a rid dle, and on that account caught and held the public eye. No one professed to understand it, but it had arrived with strong New York endorsement and hence it challenged the art intel ligence of visitors.
 There was brown splash with gray edges in the center of the picture at the top. with interlardings of blue. Tiny specks of white hanked this sum- hit Colors ran in browns, grays and blues to the bottom. Grand Rapids society hocked to the picture daily and speculated on it. It was fast becom- ing a social issue. when a local art oracle and a visiting artist from Lyme, Conn, were invited to give their yer s1ons of the picture.
 They pointed out that the brown splash at the top was doubtless a mountain and the white spechs in the zenith a cluster of planets. It was ex- plained that the eye must be spiritual ized to interpret a futurist produc- tion, but if that sort of vision could be gained and the picture could be viewed in the proper perspective it would become an unclouded delight. This explanation was so impressive that the school authorities sent class es of children to the show to study Bellows.
 Early in the last week a woman yis- itor at the exhibition complained to the managers that the Bellows picture gave her headache. Turn 1t up- side down and let me see how 1t looks" she demanded. The managers yielded after protest
 Suddenly the brown splash that had been at the top settled at the bottom into fine mass of natural rock fhe overhanging white planet specks be- came tiny craft spreading their sails over an expanse of blue sea, a blue pool nestled within the rock shelter and what had formerly looked like a bit of ragged blacl1ish sky fell into a bottom corner, where it was easily read as the signature of MT. Bellows.
 As an example of futuris1n the pie ture had monopolized public attention and Bellows was an idol. The picture ceased to be the whole thing in the show as soon as 1t was turned the other way up and Bellows dropped from his lone estate. The other pie lures in the show now have a chance to be seen, after hanging for nearly a. month.

LECTURE ON vELAsoUEZ
 BY HENRY B. sELDEN.
Given Before Art Students Associa-
 tiou-Wlfh Stereoptioon Slides.

The regular monthly meeting of the Art Students association was held in Slater hall annex on Monday even- ing and was conducted by the presi- dent, Miss Nancy Lucas. Besides the
 usual reports, resolutions were pass Woodman Burroughs who, with her husband. Bryson Burroughs of the Metropolitan Art Museum. was at one time prominent member of the sum- mer art school in Norwich.
 Announcement was also given of a paper on MuriIlo by Mrs. A. N. H. Vaugn to be read at the next meet ing.
 After the business meeting there was a lecture by Henry B. Selden of the Woman's college, New London upon Velasquez. This Spanish painter is absolutely unique. he said. He is more personal than any of the others. He has a painters fine draughtsman- ship, sense of design and color. But Instead of building up elaborate com positions, he paints more like Sar- gent-in a. direct and simple way. Born in Seville, in 1899. he was more fortunate than some in being en- couraged in his art and his father sent him at 13 years to Herrera. After a year there. he went to the studio of Pacheco, whose daughter he married and through whom he gained inffuen- t1aI. Ir1enQS, especially count OfVlareS to whom Is due his appointment as court painter at the age of 24 to Philip ". Here he met Dubens who spent g months at Madrid copying Titians and interested Ve1asquez in this work, so much so that he was granted leave to go to Italy where he stayed for 2 years studying. Velasquez was al- ways a great student-the outward aspect of things appealed to him ard in this study of truth he laid a good foundation of art facts. Then he tried to give the impression of the whole thing as it appeared to him. The paintings owned in this country are from his earlier ones.
 Slides of two in the Metropolitan showed a. portrait of the Kingdom with dignity and simplicity and Christ and two disciples. Tn these he shows later work. The Topecs also shows this same distribution of portraits The Forge of Vulcan Is between his early and later styles. In Italy he became interested in decorative work and the surrender of Breda, for some pie of this flat composition. Several nictures were shown of men on horse haclS-on the little round ponies then in fashion After his second trip to Italy he came back to his search for realism and his style changes to it's peSt. A master or DruSn WOrks ne can now put on his subject and to getting the quality and right distribu- ton of attention. Among his pic- lures showing this skill are portraits of an old man. and of the Queen, The Spinners, graceful and one of his best the Indanta, and The Maid of Hon. or. It was planning the festivities connected with this Infanta's Mar rfage to Louis XIV. lasting 72 days, which wore Velasquez out so that he died in 1860.
 Dr. Browne assisted with the slides. After the lecture light refreshments were served by the house commit tee.
