HuiIook's Orioie.

Like his eastern relative, the Baiti- more oriole,- this birds chief claim to fame is his ability as an architect and builder, They called him BulIock's oriole, and he is distinguished from our other orioles by his black throat and orange cheeks. He is found from South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas to the Pacific ocean and from southern Canada to northern Mexico-that is, he can be found there five CT six months. Fall and winter find him somewhere in MeXico.' sN
 The Bullock's oriole takes kindly to orchards and is an excellent guardian for the fruit trees during the blossom ing season. His favorite morseI is the black olive scale, topped off with nice fat caterpillar or two.
 Emulating the American Indian. the male bird refuses to work, and the tedious task of weaving and suspend ing the nest is shifted to the female Philadelphia North American.

EL0PERS THWART| COPS SEEKING TO|
 HALT CEREMONY

New York, Nov. 21-Details of a sensational elopement in which de- termined young couple escaped the police of several cities who were en- deavoring to thwart their plans, and were married Sunday night at Port Chester, N. Y., became known yes- terday.
 The elopers were Miss Caroline Hin- man Parker of Hartford, Conn.,, and Walton Hall Smith, Yale student, from Kansas City. The marriage ceremony was performed by Justice of the Peace Malcolm Merritt, who had finished the service less than five minutes when in dashed several policemen.
 The former Miss Parker and MT. Smith attended the. Yale-Princeton football game at Princeton Saturday and immediately it was over they went back to Hartford in the young woman's automobile. They then de- cided to elope. t
 Police Put on Their Track.
 The following day they again en- tered the young womans car and started for Greenwich. Their plans became known and all along the line the police began to receive word to stop the elopement. Just who had notified the police could not be learned.
 They made their first stop at Green wich, where marriage license was refused. Then they began to suspect something was wrong and hurried to Port Chester. They arrived there at 9:30 o'clock and went to the home of Town Clerk Charles c. Derby, who issued a license.
 After this Justice of the Peace Mer- ritt was visited and the ceremony was performed, George Harrington, the chauffeur, acting as witness. Then came the call of the police, but the young couple had gone.
 Sold Goods to Get Elopement Funds
 Smith confded to the town clerk that when he returned to college from Princeton he was out of funds and sold part of his wardrobe and room Furnishings to fellow students in or der to get sufficient funds for the elopement.
 Both bride and bridegroom gave their ages as 21, but it is said the girls father objected to the wedding because she was under age.
 The bridegroom Is son of Leon Smith, president of the Smith, Mo- Cord, Townsend Wholesale Dry Goods Co.,, Kansas City. Interviewed there last night, the merchant said he did not know the bride but that he was &C., quainted with her family. He added there would be no objections on his part now, but that he would have stopped the marriage had he known of it in time.
 May Have to Quit College
 It was said at the college office, last night there is a rule that students who wed cannot continue in the un- ,dergraduate body, but that usually each case is' considered separately.
 Tie present Mrs. Smith has been prominent among the younger people in Hartford society and had expected to be one of its debutantes this win- ter. She was educated at the Na- tional Cathedral Washington, and is exceedingly pretty. Her father is John Dwight Parker, assistant secre- tary of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Go.

Advertising New England.
Boston News Bureau.)

Organized local advertising has for
more than a decade been recognized
collective function - sometimes fad.
State or sectional promotion, through
semi-pubhc and more or less individu-
al championship, has become a close
second in some directions. California
is the classic example in state terms.
The Canadian Northwest and our own
Southwest have, largely through sci
entifc railroad collaboration, well typ
flied the broader sectional endeavor.
Now comes recurrent New England
aspiration, somewhat focused by
thought of the coming Pilgrim tercen-
tenary. ~
It is topic fruitful in mixed emo
tions. It is a unique mingling of nat
ural opportunities and artificial adj
versities.
Nature and history have done their
part well. Here is a segment of the
national map that peculiarly lends it
self to individual treatment, in a col
leetive way Geographically it is phe-
nomenally favored as a Mecca of many
sorts. 1t is relatively little, set
apart, jutting area, of pronounced in
dividuality. There is no confusion, no
vague blending. And geographically it
possesses a wonderful asset in the sea.
Perhaps, in the long catalogue be-
ing arranged and promulgated by
united effort, this stands first. The past
and the possible present and future
of New England all smack variously
| of the sea. History, naval and mer-
camille, wraps it with charm. There is
its perennial summer appeal TO the
great interior, that Pacific or mere
| southern strands cannot ever rival
| There is its ''grand circle nearest
ness to so much of the foreign world
| that is now engaging so much of the
business thought of the country.
There is its multiple natural dover
| of beauty, in an infnitude of seem,
variety that no age can stale or Gus
/ climate can vie with the variegatiol
of that scattered, intimate eharm,-
marine or mountain.
Here is the country's educational
4 esthetic, intellectual treasure-house
still opulently productive, despite tn
golden metropolitan lure. Here is tn
mellow antiquity of storied great me-
and deeds, that no other section ca
show. Here is the mother of both car
ital and men, making the universe
appeal of common ancestry. And her
is still the stronghold of beehive il
dustrial craft, not dealing in grea
raw staples, but cleverest with lool
and lathe, in the finer, further pr;
ducts.
And here, too, are certain rare p,
tentialities for the right kind of a:
ricultural technique, as measured i
: terms of land cheapness and marke
: ability Of specialized produce.
