NORWICH BUREAU SHOWS
 WHAT GAN BE DONE.
Labor Commissioner Hyde Points to
 Its Record as Proof.

Hartford, Conn, Feb. II. - Labor Commissioner William s. Hyde said todayI that the statements that there was a scarcity of female factory op- eratives in the state was true only as it applied to skilled labor. In the east ern part of the state, where there was large number of girls employed, the demand for skilled female help was greatly in excess of the supply. He also knew of a factory in Litchfield county which could be kept running night and day if the owners could se- cure all the female help needed.
 Commissioner Hyde said reports from superintendents of the state em- ployment agencies showed that every one who had the slightest skill what ever could easily obtain employment in factories. It was equally true of male help.
 The commissioner referred to the remarkable increase in the business of the employment agency in Norwich to illustrate his statement and incl dentally to show that the recently ap- built up the office. Last month MT. Chesbro obtained positions for 172 ap- plicants. Up to that time the average was 25 a month. He was not restrict ing his efforts to the time spent in his office, but before and after office hours he was seeing employers to learn if they wanted help. 2
 Deputy Dairy Commissioner ,Thoma s Holt said the trouble this year with the farmers would be the difficulty of procuring hslp to do the farm work; as workmen were all finding employment in factories.

A monument is more work of art than a factory product. Good memo rials are not produced by the hundreds in one design or model. The credita- ble monument is a product of skill and artistic taste designed for the par ticuIar position it is to occupy in the cemetery. No amount of labor or ap- plication will produce an unusually attractive monument unless it is guided by knowledge of artistic de- sign, That is why some firms are unable to produce good monuments although they take great pains in the actual cutting.
 Therefore it pays to investigate by actual inspection of the monuments in the local cemeteries before placing your order.

lies snug. In and about his doorway
lie the remains Of past feasts, which,
