REUNION OF CLASS OF 1916.
Restless Spirits, Pining for Outing,
Going to COmpOunce.

A big event is being planned to
startle the inhabitants of this swelter-
ing city Here it is. The class of
1916 of the New Britain High School
is going to hold a reunion" (the
quotation marks are used advisedly).
The committee has realized the
need of the class for recreation and
refreshing in the cool shade and gen.
tie breezes of some shore or lake re-
sort. The committee was unanimous
in it's opinion that something was
lacking in the class and decided that
it was this. Then came the question
as to what place the class should
grace with its presence. After thor
ough consideration of, and delibera-
ton on, such far famed picnic
grounds as Walnut Hill Park and
White Oak, the committee came to
the weighty conclusion that Com
pounce was the ideal spot for the
class. There under the shelter of the
towering Compounce mountains, by
the ripping waters edge the class
will re-convene and re-tell the glories
and stories Of the most illustrious
class that graduated from the High
school in the year of 1916. The COM
mittee decided that the outing would
be held in the evening.
The committee believes that re-
freshments should be served and that
the Reunion should be carried out in
approved intercollegiate style. Very
soon the date of the reunion will be
announced and the rest of the class
is awaiting this with bated breath.
Those who are making the ar
rangements are: John Kiniry, Robert
Boul, Richard White, Miss Ruth Ba-
con, Miss Catherine Finnegan, Miss
Margaret Begley, Harry Protass,
Thomas FIawksworth, Louis FIeischer,
Harold O'Meara. Saul WaskowitZ,
Miss Margaret Cowlishaw, and Miss
Gladys Stevens.

SATAN is UNEARTHED.
Body With Hsoofs and Horns Found
Buried.

Washington, Pa, July 31.-Satan is
dead. His petrified body has been
unearthed and is now at Elm Grove,
West Virginia. There is no doubt
about the Identity, for there are the
horns protruding from the forehead,
the spiked tail and the cloven hoofs.
Hunters dug up the petrified form
on Big Wheeling Creek, near West
Alexander. First the horny head was
unearthed by one of them who, badly
scared, rushed to his companions.
They continued the search in a body
and finally removed the buried form.
One of the oldest women of the re-
gion recalls that a woman in her
youth declared she would rather have
Satan come into her home than the
Bible. Her next child was the image
of Satan. The child never was seen by
others after its BIRTH

best investment any young man could
make.
"Billie, If you will go up to my room
and bring my small handbag, will
let you see two photographs Of the
same young man, showing what only
five months of intensive training on
the Mexican border did for him."
The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: swell,
here they are. They tell their own
story and 1t is a mighty interesting
one. The young man, before training,
has a discouraged look; he has seen
but little of the world. There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When he Joined the colors
and Uncle Sam took him in charge,
life for him took on a new meaning.
He saw a chance to do something and
be something. He woke up. His cap
tain says he Is twice the man he was
when he Joined the army. This may
be one of the extreme cases." said
Uncle Dan. II can tell you. though,
that war or no war, no one thing will
do the young men Of this nation SO
much good in 80 short a time as few
months Of intensive military training.
1t fits man to fight his own life bat
ties In the business world as well as
to defend his country and its flag.
"Nearly every civilized country gives
Its boys military training. 1t Is COM
pulsory. 1t is based upon the fact that
1t Is the duty Of everyone to help de-
'fend his country; and as war is now
carried on, no one can do much unless
he is trained. Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among
unframed troops is nearly three times
as great as 1t is with well-trained men
who know how to fight and how to
protect themselves. BY this plan q
nation has trained men to defend her
and the individual is a stronger and
better man for the training.
'If the Chamberlain Bill for Mill
tary Training is passed by congress,
us 1t ought to be, the same thing would
be done for millions of other young
men throughout the land. Everybody
ought to demand Of his congressman
and senators the passage Of this
bill"
"All right, sir, exclaimed Jimmie, we
will see Judge BrOwnell, Mr.. Haskell,
and Professor Slocum, and get them
