u. M. G.. CHAPTER OF
RED CROSS FORMED

Favorably Endorsed by C. c. Tyler,
vice president of the Remingto n
Arms UniQn Metallic Cartridge Co.,
and periodically supported by L. F..
Hall, manager of the military division
and Jarvis Williams, manager Of the
Commercial division, the movement
to coordinate the various departments
of this vast plant in a strenuous drive
towards utilization of every employe
with the American Red Cross, an en-
thusiastic meeting of the divisional
and departmental heads this morning
resulted in the formation of the U. M.
C. chapter of the American Red Cross,
Bridgeport division.
1t is expected that the organization
will have enrolled every available
member among the force by noon to-
morrow. The swiftness and sponta-
neity of the movement towards pro-
posed perfection of the organization
is characteristic of Remington-U. M.
c.. aggressiveness The first meet
ing was called one morning and the
enrolment completed the following
morning.
The response OF the factory work
ers in support Of this patriotic ex-
preston of loyalty to American in
stitutions is highly gratifying to the
managers as significant index to
the prevalence of the preparedness
sentiment not only among its native
woEkmen but also a fairly large per-
centage of foreign employees as well.
OF the 10000 odd employees about the
plant it is expected fully 90 per cent.
will enroll; truly commendable
showing. Among those responsible
for the success of the movement are:
Harry E. Harvey, president; vice
presidents, P. J. Ryan, military Equip
ment; F. r. Banks, commercial equip
ment; C. S. Toucey, engineering de-
partment; J. G. Macdonald, CONNER

LABOR
BILLS REJECTED BY
REPUBLICAN, VOTES
(Special to The Farm cry


Hartford, March Tabor meas
ures, which had been introduced into
the general ASSEMBLY by Democratic
members early In the session, Jared
badly yesterday. Sen. O'Sullivan's bill
forbidding the employment Of import
ed armed guards for strike duty in
this state, unfavorably reported by the
Judiciary commmittee, was lost In the
Senate.
Senator O'Sullivan's bill which
would compel persons advertising for
help during labor troubles, to specify
that such troubles existed, met the
same fate, although the author of the
measure said such law was written
on the statute books Of other states.
Other Democratic measures defeat
ed today in the Senate were those pro-
viding penalty for distribution of po-
litical literature without the name OF
it's author; providing penalty for the
contribution of more than $1,000 for a
campaign fund; and providing for the
registration of lobbyists.
The lobby registration measure
drawn by Senator Hemenway, was Ia
vored at the hearing by both the SEN
ator, and Miss Pierson, state organizer
Of the suffragists and their legislative
agent.

NAY REQUIRE LIGHTS
AT RAILROAD CROSSINGS

If either Of two bills is favored by
that committee and is passed by the
General Assembly, all railroad cross
ings in the state will be protected by
lighted danger signals at night. One
of the, bills calls for a light of some
kind to warn the automobilist that a
railroad crossing is near while the
other calls for a lighted sign bearing
the word ''Stop.'' It is probable that
both the lighted sign and the light
called for in a bill introduced by Sen
ator Brooks will, be provided at the
railroad crossings of the state, as the
supporters of both bills were in abso-
lutte accord with each other.

HEADQUARTERS ASKS
CONCERTED EFFORT
IF So. the Full Allotment of
$4,000 Members Will
Be Secured

Burlington, Dec 20-The Red Cross
Christmas membership campaign is one
half over 1t is impossible, owing tc
the meagre returns received at head
quarters in this city, to give the actna
number of new memberships. Based on
the figures received and the predictions
made by some county managers, the
closing hours of the campaign will see
the full allotment of $4,000 for the state
filled This, however, does not apply to
all counties. Some localities are slow in
getting to work. 1t is hoped that this
condition will be overcome before the
week ends and that they will fall into
line and do all that is expected of them.
The town of Weston in Windsor coun-
ty, with population of 632 and quota
of 80 in this campaign, has secured 45
memberships and there are 25 additional
persons ready to enlist as soon as new
supply of buttons are received. If every
town in the state would do as well as
Weston the $4,000 quota for the state
would be doubled. Between 600 and 700
new members had been obtained in
Windsor county up to noon yesterday
This is approximately one half of the
quota.
I'm Lyndonville, Caledonia county, the
new members number 457 and lib old
members have renewed their member
ships Every store in the village of Lyn-
donville has enlisted 100 per cent of all
employed. Hardwiek and st. Johnsbury
are getting into the drive and both com
munities are expected to come up to ex-
pectations.
In Bennington county 400 new mem
bers have been obtained, but lack of sup
plies has retarded the work. Bennington
county has never fai}sd to fill require
ments in its aid to the Red Cross and
the record is expected to be maintained.
Addison county has $50 new members,
Middlebury contributing 1866 Of this mum

Franklin county reports i'll excess of

report that comes from Washington
county. Excellent work is being done
among the granite cutters OF Barre. Of

Orange county has secured 500 new
members and the work in that section
is moving more rapidly than the first
two days of the canvass.
Burlington has 600 new names and
house house canvass began this morn
ing. Chittenden county towns are slow
to report actual figures, but word reaches
headquarters that the work is progress
ing as well as could be expected,
A mass meeting is to be held in Shell
burne tonight and much is expected to
result from this gathering. In Richmond
the average has been eight members to
every five families. On one street so
members were secured. =
Headquarters in this city is working
with zeal. Chairman Darling is confident
that the state will go over the top, but
he wishes all to keep up the pace and
not in the least to let up till the last
hour of the campaign.

The Question of Pictures.

The indiscriminate hanging of pictures
which has been so long the vogue is
much to be deplored, A picture that Is
intriusically good, and bears relation
ship to other things of interest. can al
ways be used, but there are many pic
lures used to fill up space, or because
they have beautiful frames, and not be-
cause the subject is appropriate or the
picture itself is good. If one has no pic
lures to start with, good photographs
| of old masters or old colored prints
are interesting.
The decorative quality of picture is
euhapced by the right background, the
height at which it is hung, and its jux.
Imposition to other pictures. A modern
picture is usually out of place on an an
tique background, and an antique pic
ture has not a good setting in a strictly
modern room. 1t il, indeed, special
talent to know just how much decora
tive object really decorates. To crowd
the walls, even with very beautiful
things, is TO fall far short in artistic
taste. Unless it is an exhibit where all
things of certain type or class are to
be kept together, proper space should be
allowed for each object, so that it may
have its full decorative value.
The frightening or lowering of cell
ings can be accomplished effectively by
the use of picture molding. In a low
eeilinged room the picture molding should
be placed within two inches of the top;
in high-eeilinged room eighteen inches
