ELMER L. REITzENsrElN
 E presents an interesting study
 4 as the author of the success ful play, "On Trial" wnich will be seen at the Jefferson next week. Reitzenstein is 21 years of age, and without previous knowledge of the theatre he evolved a drama that is more like a moving picture than a play. Bright lines, dramatic situa- tions are all handled with the fla cile finesse of a master. This all goes to show that if you write some thing novel-with a punch-it makes little difference whether you are 21 years old or 100. What the managers want is a play that the people will want. And the public is always seek ing novelty

NORWICH YOUNG MAN
 CHOSEN FOR COMMISSION
Leonard A. Smith of Park Street Has Seen Service in the Philippines.

Leonard A. Smith, brother of Miss Bernice Smith, 25 Park street, Nor WiCh, now a non- commissioned officer in the United States marine corps, was designated by the secretary of the navy on July 20 to appear before Q, marine examining board at Washington D. C.. on Aug. 1 for examination for ap- pOintment to the rank of second lieu tenant in that highly efficient military arm of the government service.
 Although the law provides for the promotion of worthy nOn-commission- ed officers in the marine corps to the commissioned rank, such promotion is not easily attained. and only men pos sessing exceptional qualifications are so promoted. It will be a source of pride to the many friends of Corporal Smith to learn of his designation as a candidate for a commissioned rank in the marines, and he will enter upon his examinations with their best Wiches for success.
 Corporal Smith first enlisted in the United States marine corps at it's Seattle, Wash, recruiting station on March 26, 1912, and has extended his enlistment one year.

COUNTY SUFFRAGE CONVENTION
 COMING AUGUST 23.
By That Time Organization of This
 Section Will Be CompIet.

All through July the five Connecticut counties in which suffrage conventions were held in June were being kept alive on the woman suffrage question. The plan adopted in each county was individual and depended upon the county chairman. But the general ob- ject was the same in all the counties, this object being the complete organ lzation of the whole state previous to the elections in November. The active summer work following the conven- tions began first in New Haven county, and this county is now furthest ad- vanced in it's suffrage organization. Excellent work is being done in Hart ford county, where Mrs. Alice Pierson Swetman and her husband, Ralph w. SWetnlan, are spending their vacation in suffrage work. MT. and Mrs. SWet- man, who are working under the au- spices of the Connecticut Woman Suf- frage association, are busy stirring up suffrage sentiment in the small and remote towns of the northern part of Hartford county. These towns include
 Iartland, Granby, Canton, CoIlinsvil1e and Enfield. Enfield is the only one of these towns that has so far been or ganized for suffrage, and it is accord ingly not receiving such early atten- tion from MT. and Mrs. Swetman as the other towns. In Granby, Hartland and Canton, MT. and Mrs. Swetman began work by a house to house can NaSS, ana IOilOW6Q JnlS up WlCn puD1G meetings, usually in the open air. They have been supplied by the c. w. s. A.
 with atn automobile, without which their work would be practically i'm possible, and they go from one of the small centers of population to another until they have covered the whole of each township.
 New London county has not yet had
 its suffrage convention. It was the
 desire of Miss Katharine Ludingtor
 to have the county fully organiZsd first and to hold the convention when or ganization was complete. The meet
 ing will be held in Lyme. With this in view, she fixed the date of the COun-
 ty convention for Aug. 23, and in the meantime she and Miss Daphne Sel- den, the organizer, are hard at work bringing the suffrage propaganda into every towns. This week there has been meetings in North Stonington and StOningtOn and Miss Selden has been making several visits in Norwich during the last few weeks. Next there will be public meetings at Mantle on Monday and at Flanders on Tuesday. At Mantle the principal speaker will be Mrs. Thomas N Hepburn and at Flanders the speakers will be Mrs. w. | J. Bartlett of Putnam, Miss LudingtOn 1 and Miss Selden. Other meetings are l already arranged or in process of ar ! rangement for the latter part of the month.
 There was a good meeting last Wed | nesday at the home of Mrs. Fannie | Dixon Welch at Columbia, at which l Mrs. Edward Porritt was the principal l speaker.

NORWICH MEDICAL MEN
 SHOWED FORM IN WESTERLY.
Great Rally in Last inning Won Base-
 ball Game at Annual Clambake.

Once again the Norwich medical men accepted the invitation of their Westerly brethren to partalxe in their annual cIambake and outing at Browns s The Norwich men were unanimous in their opinion that the bake was the best ever After allowing sufficient time for the digestion of the excellent food which had been served, the phy
 SicianS adjourned to the baseball field, where the Norwich men took sweet revenge for their defeat of last year. In the last inning, with the score 12-11 against them, the Norwich doctors kHOcked out eight runs. This was due to a succession of home runs and three baggerS by Drs. Agnew, GildersleeVe, Driscoll, Freeman and Brophy. When the Westerly men took their last turn at bat the score was [9-12 against them. They succeeded in getting three men on bases. but the next batter was struck out by Dr. Gildersleeve, who was pitching for Norwich, and a rat ting double play pulled off by Drs. Driscou, Agnew and GiIdersIeeve wound up the game. At one period of the contest the umpire, who was a Westerly man, threatened to put sev- eraI of the Norwich men off the field for disputing his decisions. But after the cigars were passed around during the heated argument the umpire changed his mind. Dr. BrOphy, the Norwich health officer, threatened to keep the umpire and all the Westerly physicians out of Norwich by quaran- tine if they did not retract their deter imitation to put the Norwich men off the field.
 Dr. Payne, who started to pitch for Westerly was knocked out of the box and Dr. Scanlon, who took his place, fared only a little better. pr. Tingley was coach for the Norwich players and Supt. Hutchins net only served capa- bly, in giving away the signals of the Westerly aggregation but he proved to be a splendid mascot, for when he took his place on the Norwich bench | the team proceeded to score its eight
