The law that provides for the additional pension of S10 a month was passed by congress last April, and states that the name of each surving person who has served in the military or naval service of the United States in any war and who has attained the age of sixty five, and has received a medal of honor for havng fin action involving actual conf1icr with the ene- my distinguished himself conspicuously by gallantry or intrepidity at the risk of his own life. above and beyond the call of duty" shall be entitled to a place on this new roll of honor and to the additional pension.

Both sexes work hard, and where there is such uniformity of poverty the strug- gle for existence makes life a serious matter and engraves deep lines in the faces of the breadwinners.

STONINGTON
Two Members of School Committee to be Elected Today-Sale of the Cap ron Property.

Prior to the recent annual town meeting when a vote was passed to reduce the membership of the school committee from six to three, each of the party caucuses nominated candi- dates for the committee. Lorenzo D. FairbPother, republican, and Thomas w. Hickson democrat. Both will be elected today, their names being on the official ballot. They will probably insist lon serving for the term to which they will be elected. That would make the committee six mem bers as heretofore. When the terms of two committeeman expire next year, probably no successors will be nominated. and in 1918. nn'r ona can didate will be nominated, if the vote of the town in annual meeting is to be observed. Therefore it will be three years before the committee will be reduced to three from six members. This will be the plan unless some way is found to prevent the two to be elected today from qualifying, and a way to legislate one of the two hold overs out of office.
 Stonington's Senator.
 No matter which party is successful in tho state election, the senator from the Shoestring district will come from the town of Stnnington. The repubii- can candidate is Frank II. Hinckley, of the Mystic section and judge of the town court of Stonington, and the democratic nominee is Cornelius Gran dall, for over fifteen years warden of the borough of StoninSton.

 Washington, D. C., Oct. 1.-When peace once more broods over Mexico and the See America First,'' cam paign is made to embrace the wonder ful scenic beauties of the southern republic one of the most popular re- sorts for tourists will probably be "The Venice of the Valley" graphi- cally described in a communication from Walter Hough to the National Geographic Society, a part Of which is issued today in the following bull letin:
 ''One of the pleasurable experiences among those that delight the traveller i'll Mexico is visit to the home of the Asztec lake dWellers. Much of the charm of the great, Valley of Mexico, where they live, is due to the stretches of water among the trees and verdant fields in landscape framed in beautiful mountains and bathed with clearest air of heaven.
 ''Taeir lalIes-Texcoco, Xochimilco, Zumpango, and Chalco,-do not reveal themselves except from the, high mountains encircling the valley. They are shallow bodies of water in the midst of extensive marshes, unap- proachable and lacking the effect of our lakes with their definite shore
 
 been highways of civilized commerce, nor has navigation flourished in their shallow waters; but they were from these very hindrances destined to be jealous mothers of ancient and re- markable States, whose people. pro- tected in the fens, dug out canals and developed an indigenous commerce and transportation to the fullest ex- tent.
 Long before Cortez came the In- dians of the valley worked in the boggy lake lands and dug canals hith- CT and thither-main canals between the lakes and to the great city of Tenochtitlan and smaller canals be- tween the fields. Through this maze of waterways, then as now, they sent their boats and in the fens built their thatched houses.
 "Pere Saha gun, the Franciscan, re- cords that the City of Mexico is like another Venice and the people them selves are comparable to the Vene- tians in urbanity and savOir.' This was written in the 18th century, but in the lapse of several hundred years the city's onderful water environment has become dry ground, and the seek CT for lake dwellers will have to look
