DIR. CROSS TO SPEAK
 x IN ORIENTAL CARE
Baptist Church Pastor Will Speak on
 Somewhere East of Suez'' at Sunday Evening Service.

Rev. Earle E. Cross at the evening church last Sunday, announced an in- teresting service for evening of Feb ruary 25th, and the subject warrants some comment. The theme of the eve- ming is "SomeWheres East of Suez' which the lover of kipling will at once recognize as quotation from the poem "On the Road to Mandalay". !. The address of the evening will be in { fact, personal recollections of a boy hood spent in Burma in the shadow of pagodas and amid the palm trees and the spicy garlic smells of that orien- l tai land. pr. Cross will appear in na- tive costume and this will add a charm to the narration of incidents and the i descriptions of scenes Amusing anec- l dotes will lend humor to the evening, 1 and an occasional native song will be an unusual feature. In peculiar way the land of Bur- | ma is of interest to the Baptist people, ! because one hundred years ago or i more, the pioneer missionary of that ,
 
 gan his work in that country in the ] Antipodes. The story of Judson is well i known to all Christian people, and l this address may serve to give q back ground thoroughly in sympathy with l the work and the achievements of Jud- son.
 1 pr. Cross is able to speak under the i sway of his inborn love for the land of 1 which he speaks, and from first in- i pressions of it's scenes and people, which are all the more vivid because i they were gained at the most impress | sionable period of life. Dr. Cross was born at Rangoon, Burma, and spent the first ten years of his life in that country. His playmates as a boy were natives, and in association with them he gained a lasting impression of the language and life of the people. These impressions have been preserved by reason of his continual relation with the country through his parents. pr. Cross is the son of Rev. B. P. Cross missionary at Tavoy, Burma, at the present time. and is the grandson of Rev. E. B. Cross. who throughout his life was a missionary at Toungoo, Burma.

ADAM COOK GIVEN
 TICKET TO FARM
Last Straw When He Spent Wife'S Hard Earned Cash

Because Adam Cook of 212 # Elm street. for whose reformation the au- thorities have labored long and earn estly over a considerable period of time through sympathy for his wife and children, objects to making the traditional Eden of his home, the state will have the benefit of his serv- ices for, at least, six months at the farm for inebriates at Norwich. Los ing patience, because of his continual Jumping over the traces and oppo- sition to work, Mrs. Cook and Pro- bation Officer Edward c. Connolly de- clded that drastic treatment was nec- cssary. As a result, Adam faced Judge John H. Kirkham in police. court today and before His Honor were cards with the long record of the accused.
 Mrs. Cook and Probation Officer Connolly showed no mercy. The for mer said that she gave him twenty five cents yesterday to pay his fare in 1 looking for work in Hartford. This came out of her hard-earned money, secured by taking in washing and scrub work. Adam, it was testified, 1 did not swell the dividends of the 1 Connecticut Company but did the cash 1 register of one, or more, bar rooms 1 Probation Officer Connolly said that ] he would see that Mrs Cook is aided in caring for the home and children i during the time that Adam is en- 1 gagged in farm work at Norwich. 1 Unless Thomas Nolan of 600 Arch street keeps away from the home of l relatives in that vicinity, until invited to visit them, he will be taken to jail for fifteen days. This sentence with judgment suspended during good 1 behavior was imposed after it was tes- tified that Nolan went to the home of relatives yesterday, created a dis turbance and broke a rear door and window. He contended that a dot 1 ran between his legs, causing him tc ! fall against the door. Policeman Frederick Wagner made the arres upon complaint
