CEILING FELL
Large Patch of Plaster Descends in
 Primary School Room.

Large Patch of Plaster Descends in
 Primary School Room.
 A large portion of the ceiling over the primary grade room in the school house on Granite avenue became loosened Tuesday morning and fell with crash, but fortunately the teacher, Miss Ostrander, and pupils who would have been directly under the spot, were at work at the blackboards, and nobody was struck.
 The plaster, which had covered a spot about six feet in diameter on the ceiling and was an inch in thickness and very heavy. Large fragments struck the desks and made deep dents and also dented the floor. The force with which the mass landed was suffi- cient to have fractured the skull of a child.
 Janitor Hanlon noticed the loosened mass just before it fell and was about to get ready to have it secured or pulled down when it fell.

Smiles and WiIes.

A valued New Haven subscriber of The News sends the following:
 II see that Canaan is out after a slogan. It really doesn't need one, for Canaan is a slogan in itself. Now if it were only Manchester, with its mills and its Cheneys, one could be slightly apologetic to the Scriptures and sug- gest, The Land of Silk and Money. , But why try to add to Canaan's charm :? It is a land of Summer Smiles and Winter Wiles. 1 am not shouting for Borden when I say it is land of Milk, nor do have in mind only the editor of The News and hts 'financy' when I say it is land of Honey''

War Costs England $o,OOO, 100000
 a Year.

Sir Herbert L. Samuel, secretary for home affairs for England insisting upon the need of national thrift and the necessity of financing the war, as far as possible, out of income, pointed out that the national income was about e2, 400, ,OO0,000 annually. The war, said Sir Herbert, was costing about e1, 800, 900, 900 and the balance would give the population of 45,OO0, 900 per. sons an annual income of some e13 per head, or precisely the income of the national old age pensioner. Therefore, he added, it was clear that the cost of the war could not be defrayed out of the income.
 'tJust as we have been all our lives helping to pay for the Napoleonic wars," said the speaker, ESQ our child ren and grandchildren will be priv1- legged to pay for this war. Hence, it behooves us to observe rigid economy, which, unfortunately, there is little sign that the British people realize, except possibly among the middle classes.''

mother. Il wish you would be good
girl. You will be sorry if you are not
After lunch her mother dressed her
in her prettiest white dress, with pink
ribbons on her hair and Molly began
to smile for the first time that day,
because she thought she was going
somewhere, but when her mother told
her not to put on her hat she began
to cry again.
The ringing of the doorbell stopped
her and Molly, heard the voices of her
playmates in the hall
When she looked over the railing
she saw all the little girls and boys
in the neighborhood standing there
looking up and laughing at her
Hello. Molly!" called one of the
boys. 81 guess we surprised you didn't
we? How old are you today?"
Then for the first time Molly re-
membered it was her birthday.
They played games on the lawn and
dining room was opened and Molly
knew why it had been closed all the
morning. 1t was because her mother
wanted to give her surprise. Molly
felt very sorry and very much ashamed
and she looked at her grandmother
who stood in the door, but she only
smiled at her.
In the center Of the table was big
bouquet of pink roses, and at every
plate was a pink ribbon with card
bearing the name of the little girl or
boy who was to sit there. Pull the
ribbon" said Molly's mother, and they
all did, and from under the pink roses
came little packages which contained
handkerchief for the little girls and
silver pencil for each boy.
There were pink ices shaped like a
rose and pink cakes, and all the sand
wiches were tied with pink ribbon,
and the candies were all pink and
white, too.
Such pretty table 1t was! Every
thing just matched the ribbons that
tied Molly's hat. After all had eaten
all they wanted the table was cleared
and maid brought in cake. And
such big cake it was, with lighted
