Walt rarely spoke to his wife of the

Jenet almost never consulted Walt
about her affairs in her realm sup

Without appearing ever to step
one inch from his regular course,
Roy managed always to be about
when Janet needed consul. His ear
was ever ready to listen to her prob
lens; his advice was invariably kind
keen and encouraging. Janet al
ways had a renewed sense of sue
cess and stimulation after she had
talked with him.
She was so astonished at her own
undreamed-of capabilities that she
exclaimed one day to Nicoll: Isn't

as Nicoll wanted him to write it, she
would have called him unreasonable
Exasperatingly and stubbornly I'M
reasonable.
Would ii hurt him just to change
a few things in the story to conform
to popular opinion and taste? Could
it hamper his career as writer to
do just one story for money?
Wouldn't he gain enough by little
compromise to do just as he pleased
in future stories? Having a plump
bank balance would in itself give
him confidence and dash, and make
his success the more soon and GER

But no! He choose to sacrifice
everything comfortable to his fana-
tic adherence to principle Well,
then, she, Jenet, would subordinate
all other things to HER WORK! She
would make it her love and her re-
fuge, her ambition and her reward!
She would have no ideal save Sue

cluding the wars waged against the French before the United States be- came a nation, Connecticut has al- ways furnished more than its share of fighting men and performed more than it's proportionate share of the other tasks which are incidental to carry ing on of war. Now that we are en- gagged in the greatest war of all his tory, which is being fought under con ditions that require the service and active participation of every man and woman in the country, 1t goes with out saying that Connectcut will main- tain the highly honorable position 10 which it's hitherto patriotic record en- titles it.
 Since all of Connecticut's inhabf- ants and all Of her material resources must be made useful and active in prosecuting the war-it has been nec- essary to institute a special organiZa- ton through which these human and material agencies may be made avail able most effectively. with the least possible duplication of effort, and the co cooperation. To this end the Con- nectfcut State Council of Defense has created ito mobilize the resources of the state in such manner as to make them available for war" The present is the first time in our history when such widespread concentration of pur- pose and effort has been attempted. Manifestly the effort cannot fully suc- ceed without the willingness and de- termination of every Connecticut cit izen to give assistance in every pos sible way.
 The activities of the Connecticut State Council of Defense except in a few conspicuous instances are not such to arouse great public inter- est or create excitement. The work of it's committees, while -arduous and comprehensive, is for the most part of a sort which does not arouse much comment. In order more widely to disseminate information concerning the work of the state council and it's sub committees and to provide a channAl through which matters concerning the activities of Councils of Defense in other states may be distributed this Bulletin has been established and will hereafter be issued weekly.
 The hard. and .exacting conditions imposed by modem warfare must be met. The self-sacrifce and incon- venience involved will at best be very great but it can be materially lesseI,- ed by wise and united co-operati6l. This Bulletin is intended as means to that end and solicits on behalf of the work of the Connecticut State Council of Defense the support and in- terest of all to whom it may come.

SAW SHARKS DESTROY BIG SEA TURTLES
Groton Man Witnessed Terrific Battle
 of Nantucket.

Capt. William Healey has just re- turned to his home in Groton from a cruise in the auxiliary yacht Zoe, own ed by Lewis J. Atwood of the Colt Arms Co. of Hartford. They went as far east as Nantucket stopping at Block Island. Newport, New Bedford. Vineyard Haven and also cruised about Narragahsett bay.
 The captain reports a very pleas ant trip with the exception of one bad scare which occurred about half way between Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. MT. Atwood asked the captain If that was a sandbar ahea d. Upon investigation the captain said he thought the yacht was doomed, for not a cables length away was what he termed lone of the most horrible sights of blood and carnage that hu- man eyes ever beheld."
 A school of sea turtles, not less t,.kn 800, we're being smashed and devoured by about 100 sharks of the type known to old whalernen as "sowenas." They are much larger and more ferocious than the man eating shark and weigh from 300 to 500 pounds.
