0f Veterans to Plain For Memorial
 Day-Case of Scarlet Fever.
 The finest banquet in the history of the organization is the opinion held by the members of the Mems Lyceum of Kensington in reference to last nights affair at the Kensin gton Con- gregational church. The feature of the evening was an address on "Delinquen- cy'' by Superintendent Charles H. Johnson of the Cheshire reformatory. MT. Johnson was accompanied by his wife and they came by automobile but owing to a misdirection took the wrong road at Meriden and in conse- quence were somewhat late in arriv- ing. MT. Johnson proved a witty as well as interesting speaker and he made humorous reference to his mis- hap in choosing the wrong road.
 Speaking of the reformatory at Cheshire in reference to "Delinquen- cy'', MT. Johnson told of the work be- ing accomplished there. But the greatest problem is prevention rather than cure and he argued that in com nunities like Kensington a strong eff fort should be made to help young men and when it seen that they arc taking the wrong path something should be done at once to place them on the right road.
 At Cheshire the problem is to achieve what society has failed to ac- complish and it is a big task The ma 1Cr1fV che reformatory lack training. Few indeed who have been trained in some useful trade or occupation are sent to the reformatory. And so one of the problems of the officials is to train these erring young men. Besides han dicraft, educational classes are con- ducted. AS Q result the great majority leave the institution improved in body and mind. Of course some fail to profit by the training and falling into evil ways again are sent to pris- on. These exceptions cause unthink- ing people to condemn the reforma- - tory and declare it to fail or it's pur- pose. But the fact is, said MT. John son in conclusion, that fully eighty per cent. of the graduates of the re- formatory make good and prove them selves deserving of the trust society places in them.
 Thomas Emerson gave a ralk OH "Eatriotisn" and proved that he had his subject well in hand. MT. Finer son emphasized the need of installing patriotism into the youth of the coun- try He recalled his own emotions when as q school boy he rccited such patriotic pieces as Paul Revere's Ride" He declared that the country

Definite action concerning the salaries of the teachers will prob ably be taken at the June meeting of the school board to be held next Wednesday night. The committee is scheduled to assemble on that date and the matter of engaging the staff for next year will then be settled.
 Members of the board admit that contracts in which higher salaries were stipulated have been forwarded to some of the teachers but they are reticent about giving any information concerning them. The teachers some time ago petitioned for a general in- crease in pay.
 The outcome of the difficulty is eX- pected to be that most of the teach CTS will remain, getting more pay for their services, while vacancies will probably be created in cases where the board declines to give the compensa- tion demanded. .
 Wed In Bristol.
 Williams Fuchs of East street. and Miss Ruth Hoerle of Bristol, were united in marriage yesterday after noon at the home of the brides par ents. After the ceremony a recep- tlonyWas given to the immediate rela- tives of the young couple
 The couple will spend their honey moon in New York and vicinity and on their return will reside in Bristol.
 Big Demand For Tenements.
 The demand for tenements con- tinues to Plainville without a let-up and instead of an improvement, the indications are that the conditions will be even worse in a short time. the opening of the Rockwell-Drake com pany's employees have already made canvass of the town for the purpose of moving their families here but dearth of empty tenements, suited to their requirements, seemingly will necessitate their committing for lsev- eral months anyway
 People working in Bristol have also been attempting to get rents here but for the most part they have been un- successful.
 A number of property owners have considered the erection of buildings, but the high price of material and the scarcity of labor has had a ten- dency to discourage them and the building boom anticipated during the winter is not now expected to be realized.
