The builder who first bridged Niagara's

Before he swung his cable shore to

Sent cut across the gulf his venturing

Bearing slender cord for unseen
hands
To grasp upon the farther cliff and

A greater cord, and then greater yet;
Till at the last across the chasm
swung
The cable-then the mighty bridge in

So we may send our little timid

Across the void, out TO Gods reaching

Send out our love and faith to thread

'SC0VILLE TALKS ON
food CONSERVATION
Addresses ElkS on Necessity Of
Economy on Dining Table

This war may be won in the kitch-
ems of America!
Robert Scoville of the committee on
!, food conservation of the State Council
of Defense is authority for the above
statement. Mr.. Scoville addressed the
members of New Britain lodge, No.
957, B. p. O. E., last evening at Elks'
home on Washington street. He waved
no flag. Nor did he make the eagle
scream or try to thrill the throng by
picturing Uncle Sam wabbling around
the ring with the Kaiser waiting to
put over the finishing punch. But he
did give a sensible, straightforward
talk, impressive because of its seri-
BUSINESS, and told the Elks why Amer
, lea must make sacrifices on it's dinner
table in order that her allies might be
fed, in order that the, men in the
trenches might have beef and bread
to give them the strength to strike
, the Prussian again and again.
Mr.. Scoville was introduced by ex-
Mayor George M. Landers, chairman
Of the committee on food conservation.
. Mr.. Landers congratulated the Elks
on the ready response they had made
to the food pledge cards sent out by
his committee and informed the gath
ering that Dudley T. Holmes, veteran
secretary of the lodge, had been the
first Elk in Connecticut to file his
pledge card at the Office of the COM
mittee in Hartford. Mr.. Landers also
spoke briefly on what the committee
is accomplishing. In introducing Mr..
Scoville, who owns large model
stock farm in Salisbury, Mr.. Landers
said he wanted those present to listen
"to a Rube who can't be fooled by
any of the farmers who visit our Of
fce-and some Of them try It. -"
Mr.. Scoville emphasized the neces-
sity of economizing in America on
wheat, fats and other materials which
are needed in Europe. He described
the work of the food committee and
appealed to the men to help the wo-
men conserve the country's food sup
ply. Unless the men help, he said, the
good effects of the campaign will be
nullif1ed.
After the talks by Mr.. Scoville and
Mr.. Landers, the members enjoyed an
old-f fashion smoker, professional tall
emit furnishing the entertainment.
Lunch was served. 90 -

STARVE IN BOAT
FOR nine DAYS
Captain Of Sunken Vessel Loses
His Life, But Wife Escapes

An Atlantic Port, Oct. 5.-Twenty-
four survivors of the crew of the
American steamer Itasca, picked up
after being tossed about in an open
boat nine days from the time the
Itasca foundered, were brought here
ports. The Itasca. bound from Ber-
muda to New York, sank in a tropical
hurricane $50 miles off Bermuda.
Captain w. Harold Bond of Rock
land, Me-, went down with his ship.
His wife was among those saved.
The survivors. who were rescued
about $50 miles off Nantucket, had
suffered intensely from privation and
exposure. Chief Engineer Elwell Of
Rockland, Me-, died from exhaustion,
and T. Smith of Bermuda, fireman.
who went insane and drank sea water
when the fresh water supply in their
boat ran out, died on the rescuing
ship soon after he had been taken
aboard.
The crew abandoned the Itasca in
two boats. but later those in the
smaller of the two boats were trans
ferred to the larger one. Their only
provisions were one and one-half
casks of water, which had been care
fully portioned out, became so low
that the shipwrecked party could
take turns only in wetting their lips,
and the supply gave out entirely two
hours before they were rescued. At
that time there were only two of the,
biscuits left.
For the greater part of the nine
days stormy weather prevailed and
heavy seas swept the craft. drenching
it's occupants and making it necessary
to bail frequently. When rescued
Mrs Bond was almost dead from ex-
haustion, and all the crew were on
the verge of madness.
The Itasca. an iron steamship
1,416 tons gross, was owned in m
bile, Ala. She was built in Whining
ton, Del. in 1871.

is the juvenile court. Ben Lindsey of
Denver was the first man to advocate
this manner of reforming the young.
At the time when he first tried his
new way he was opposed on many
sides. But the people, seeing the wis.,
dom in the new way, again appointed
Mr.. Lindsey Judge. and so the jul
venile court was finally started
For the first offense a boy COM
mits he is not prosecuted. He is
brought to chambers, where none but
his parents. court officials and the
complainant are allowed. He is then
given a severe reprimand and then IS
let go. At this point it would be
we'll to state that if the parents would
cooperate with the court officials and
apply the rod the boy would not be
likely to do wrong again. But in
some cases the parents let the faults
of the boy go unheeded. The boy
thinks he Is in the right and continues
to do wrong.
ION second offense the boy is kept
overnight in the cellroom. After
night in a cell most boys are content
to reform their ways. Newspaper re-
porters are also requested to with
hold the names of the young Of
tenders as far as possible from the
press. This request is made for two
reasons. First it spoils the reputation
Of the boy in later life if he should
reform, and second it makes him a
hero among his friends and may pos
sibly lead others to be heroes of this
type. Also no record is kept at tho
court of first offenders.
"The third time that the boy is
ri "a h je,
to the reform school at Meriden. Upon
his arrival at this institution he is
supplied with a card marked -.
After each month if his ways have
improved a mark is deducted from his
card. Consequently at the end of a
year he is supposed to be without one
mark against him. If his marks are
all gone he Is allowed to go on pa
role"
Another instance Of the worth Of
the Juvenile courts was pointed out
by Prosecutor Klett when he related
the incident of what honesty will do.
The incident happened in Denver.
When boy is sent to the reform
school an official usually accompanies
him with mittimus which Is given
to the warden at the institution when
he enters. Judge Lindsey placed the
mittimus in the hands Of the boy,
telling him that he was put on his
honor. He was put on the train and
went directly to the institution and
delivered himself. AS reward for
his honesty he was given his imme-
date release. This goes to show
what a boy will do when placed on
his honor.
The meeting last evening was
opened by an address Of welcome by
Mr.. Clarkson, president. Following
him was the secretary, Miss Murphy,
who read the minutes of the last
meeting. Piano solos were given by
Miss Clara Olcott and vocal selec-
tons were given by Miss Marion
Egan, accompanied on the piano by
Miss Gammerdinger Miss Helen
Prest gave an interesting reading.
The entertainment was followed by
victrola selections and a social hour.
Refreshments were served
