 IS PAID MEMORY. OF JUDGE SCOTT
Members of Bar of Fairfield County Pass Resolutions
 of Sorrow

Members of the Bar of Fairfield county gathered in the Superior Court today to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of the late Judge Howard B. Scott, of Danbury, for, 10 years judge of the Common Pleas Court of Fairfield county, and a member of the Fairfield county bar since 1878.
 Judge A. B. Beers presided over the meeting of the Bar association, and Judge John R. Booth of Daniblry. present judge of the Common Pleas Court, read resolutions prepared on the death of Judge Scott. The reso- lutions reviewed the career of the de- ceased jurist, expressed the high ap- preciation in which he was held both as man and lawyer by his asso- ciates, and expressed the deep regret of the members at the death of Judge Scott.
 The resolutions were adopted unan- imously by a rising vote, and will be spread in the records of the court, and copy sent to members of Judge Scott's family.
 Judge Scott died in Danbury Feb ruary last He was born in Bridge port, but had resided in Danbury for many years, was a judge of the Dan bury City Court for many years, and was appointed judge of the Common Pleas Court about 10 years ago. He retired last year owing to i'll health.

Coons and Turkeys.

They are hunting coons in Massa+ chusetts and eating them. They are said to be fine substitute for turkey more than a substitute, better. That is all right-they can eat them. Our Pilgrim Fathers can eat all the coon they want. We will take second help ing to turkey, declares a writer in the Columbus State Journal. We try to imagine the eating of coon. We can't do it any more than we can think 1f eating cat. But hunting coons is diff ferent. Here is the process: Take an automobile. Put in guns, dogs, and a companion or two, and then, when far into the country and near for est, unloose the dogs and send them into the woods. Soon they start to barking vigorously and there is a coon. The papers tell of one party of four starting out after dark, returning at midnight with nine coons. That couldn't be done in Ohio, which is not a primitive state, like Massachusetts. Our coon crop is gone. We are sorry. The coon is fine animal for coons but not for meat. John Alden and haA merry men are welcome to it. !

From the bottom of my heart cry

From the bottom of my heart cry with them:
 Long live Italyl. Long live the Ital- ian army?'
 The Italian general made brief but solemn response in voice full of emo ton. It was profoundly impressive.
 All realized that these hundred young volunteers stood there not in their own strength alone, they stood as the visible opponents of all the invisible forces of a mighty nation, for the iIlimitable strength of America, for her ideals, for her vast resources in money and men. What he said about American Red Cross aid made some thing lodge tremulously in many throats.
 The dedication ended, the sections paraded the principal Milan streets and received the ovation of the crowds. American flags streamed from every window; flowers were flung; shouts of "Viva America P filled the air. Shops were closed, and all Milan |, celebrated as for some great victory.
 After the parade the three sections drew up in the big open square in front of the cathedral. There, stand- ing above them on the steps, the sym dice, in the name of Italy, bade them an earnest godspeed and farewell. The crowd listened, thinking that the sacri6cial front to which these strange American youths were hurrying wereu after all, very near to Milan. And America hitherto had been so very far and her position little understood. Now all that was done away with. These men were the promise of Amerf- ca made flesh.
 The syndice finished his speech. The crowds melted away. The American Red Cross Ambulance men drove out of the city gates, taking the road which led toward Austria.

upon the men.
 They. motored for eighteen days. Their path from Paris to Milan, via most beaming, wonderful adventures among the hospitable country folk of Northern Italy. Everywhere the mag ic word American" painted on the ambulances, was a passport to the Italian hearts. Flowers, food, red wine, the white eyed admiration of the young women, the laughing confidence of the children with whom the north ern provinces are filled to overflowing were thrust upon them. None of the young Americans spoke Italian, al- though one had developed a sort of a pateis of his own. His attempts to make himself understood sent the na- lives into peals of laughter.
 It was a hard ride-this shift from the French to the Italian front. Yet it was a ride that not one of them would have missed. The Riviera coun- try, with its uplands, headlands, sky and water, fascinated them. Their climb up the mountain cliffs so steep that the roads were fairly chiseled out of their rough breasts; their chugging passage through villages, ancient and picturesque, will stand out in their memory for all time. And the chief memory of it all for them will be that compelling, unforgettable Italian smile, different from anything else in the world.
 At Nice, on the Italian frontier, the section met it's first benefactress. A few hours after day had famed across the night the Americans arrived at this resort. Begrimed, news of their arrival brought an English woman, Mrs. Cutler by tame, to their garage, bringing flowers, apples and cigarettes. Thus was "Section 1, Italy," given it's farewell to France on the frontier.
 There were no formalities or GUS tom difficulties about crossing into Italy. Whenever any guard, sentry or official was dubious about letting the units proceed without strict inspec- tion, all that was necessary was to rub grime off the ambulance and point to the Red Cross. That worked the magic change. America" and the American Red Cross" were each an open sesame to Italy. Through the village of Ventimiglia, San Reno, St. Pier-d'Arona, Savona and Pontedecimo they motored, Italian hospitality striv- ing to outdo itself at every point.
 "Pres-ee-dent-ee ViIsonI"
 There were many adventures. For instance, the interpreter assigned to the convoy, a young Italian of the Bersaglieri, with the brassard of Brit ish Headquarters Service on his sleeve, proved to be real cosmopoh- tan.

RED CROSS SENDS PROMPT AID TO
 ITALIAN FORCES
A BULAHCE MEN FROM FRENCH FRONT FIRST TO
 REACH ALPINE SECTOR.
Now Attending Wounded Men of General Diaz's Army on
 Snow Capped Mounts.
(RY A RED CROSS REPRESENTA-
 TIVE IN ITALY.)

LEY A RED CROSS REPRESENTA-
 TIVE IN ITALY.)
 High up on the snow-capped Alpine rampart that guards North Italy, the battle sector where the enemy drive has been at it's fiercest, a hundred American Red Cross Ambulance men, the first actual representatives of the United States in the Italian Theatre of War, are ministering to the needs of the maimed and wounded in General Diaz's army. These are picked, sea- soned men. They have driven on the shell exposed roads at Verdun, on the Aisne and the terrible Chemin des Danes. Some have been decorated with the Croix de Guerre. There is not raw youngster among them.
 These men have dumped from the frying pan into the fire" as their con- freres back in France have expressed 1t. Straight into the middle of a tre- mendous offensive they were pitched, there to perform a service which will require every ounce of stamina, ev- cry atom of physical endurance that youth can summon. The American Red Cross accepted with gratitude this post of peril and honor for her men, thus making the war-bond be- tween America and Italy a thing of flesh and blood.
 Americas first contingent of Am bulance men in Italy-other contin- gents will arrive soon-motored into the Italian war zone just four days after the American congress declared war on Austria Hungary. And this providential coincidence was irresisti- ble in it's appeal to the Italians. They sent up shout of joy that rang from Brandisi to the northernmost hamlets of the Alps. Such swiftness in get ting into action, the blow following hard upon the word It was just this sort of quick work that America stood for to the people of Italy. Here were the Americans, they said, before the ink was dry on the declaration of war on their hated enemy that President Wilson had signed!
 Three American Red Cross Ambu- lance units appeared unheralded on the Italian country side. Word soon was passed around that the "Ameri- cans are here" Welcoming groups loomed up everywhere. The air be came vocal with cheers, not we'll timed salvos, like the "Rah, rah, rah l' of college groups, but shouts that seemed to run the whole gamut and sound. An answering shout and the cavalcade rode along.
 i Welcomed at Milan.
 Milan staged the most enthusiastic welcome of all. The three units re- ceived their applause. They drove off { to war. That was what the public saw-the surface drama of that small valorous band. Behind all this there lay a story worth the telling. It is a story which faithfully describes the work of the Red Cross in all emergen- cies.

was kid. When 1 left to come back here was dancing with a Spanish girl in the Hippodrome show. Some change, isn't it?"
 At Pontedecimo an Italian Sergeant dominated the details of hospitality and proudly exhibited the fact that he was not altogether unacquainted with the English language. He ordered bottle of wine and, filling his glass, strode over to the Americans table in the inn.
 Lifting both glass and bottle high above his head, he rose on tiptoe and in a voice like the Bull of Basham, roared "Pres-ee-dent-ee ViIsonr and he shouted the name again and again. The Americans tried to converse with him, but found that his vocabulary contained only tho one magic name. After days and days of this sort of thing the caravan finally arrived at Milan, within striking distance of the front.
 The severe journey had knocked out four of the cars. Tired out, they re SlSICu Cll1 luS ShlII Ol LlIC L1CNhSlA11NAGLSS and it was not until garage specialists spent a night in work over them that they were whipped into shape.
 In the meantime news of the ar- rival of the first American contingent had spread over Milan like wildtire, and a triumphal reception was pre- pared for the entrance of the men. Reaching Italy, the men believed that they were to devote their efforts to the relief of the civilian population, but the Italian government demurred.
 eve want those men right on our firing lines to carry the wounded" they said. "We could use another hundred"
 It was arranged that the dedication of this American unit should take place in the historic old city of Milan in the spacious interior court of a mellowed old Italian palace, the facade of which had turned green with time and from whose balconies trailed ban ners of the entire Allied World. The cars had been parked in the shape of a horseshoe, two ambulance men in frent of each car. Thus were the units reviewed by the commanders of the Italian, French and English troops.
 In offering the services of the con- tingent to Italy, Major = said: "Ex- cellency, on behalf of the American Red Cross, which represents the whole people of the Unitd States of Ameri- ca, and with the deepest feelings of affection, have the honor to present to you, the representative of the he roic Italian soldiers, the first three sections of the American Red Cross Ambulance corps in Italy.
 "Long Live ItalyI"
 ''The Americans who are to operate these cars have volunteered their Serv- ices. It will always be their pleasure and distinction to remember that in farthering the effort which America will make in helping Italy to combat the common enemy they were the first American unit to reach the front.

wv World of Finance
BILLIONS FOR DEFENSE.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo will offer for subscription every cwo weeks between now and the opening of the next Liberty Loan Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness in amounts of five hundred million dol lars or more. If all the banks of the country do their share, and it is con- templated that they will, three billion dollars of the certificates will be taken by them between now and the fota- tion of the next Liberty Loan.
 The raising of five hundred million dollars every two weeks seems a tre- mendous task, yet in relation to the banking resources of the United States it seems easy of accomplish ment.
 The resources of the National banks of the United States on November 20 last were more than eighteen and a half billion dollars and the resources of state banks and trust companies on June %, 1917, were practically twenty-one billion.
 The resources of both have in creased since the dates named when the latest reports were made. The three billion expected by the Secre- tary of the Treasury is less than 10 per. cent of the banking resources of the Nation.
 The banking power of the world in 1890 was estimated at fifteen and g. half billion dollars; the banking power Of the United States is now two and a half times as great as the banking power of the world as late as that year.
 The United States Is just beginning to demonstrate it's unexampled power and might. It is called upon to- de- fend the liberty of the world, to pre- serve civilization and humanity. It is answering in a way to demonstrate that it is equal to the tASk in courage, in genius, in men, and tn money.

Careless Use of Soap
SpoiIs the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkalf.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
In. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft. and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every member
Of the family for months.-Adv.

EREcKLES AND TAN
SOON FADE AWAY

A freckle is merely a discolored,
rusty" spot lodged in the skin itself.
Some skins are peculiarly sensitive
to the effect of sun and wind. If your
skin is of that kind, here's good news
for you.
A chemist, whose freckles used to
embarrass him quite bit, one day
found out that danthol tetrate was a
simple and pleasant way of treating
this trouble The skin seems to alb
sorb it quite promptly, and the way it
gets after those rusty freckle spots Is
really wonderful.
Get an ounce of danthol tetrate from
any we'll known druggist, and apply it
with the finger tips twice day for
few days and notice the result. This
is also an excellent way of removing
tan and similar discolorations of the
skin. 1t costs very little and is not
a bit unpleasant to use.-Adv.

Select Registers for
Voting Instead of
With Army Board

Too many registrants at the court
house confused one young select who
went to sign for military service under
the draft call Saturday. The regis
trant entered his name with the board
that was registering voters. and not
with the army draft board, as he had
supposed. He did not learn his mis-
take until he sea nned the list of reg
istrants In the newspapers and learn
ed that his name was not among them.
When he came to the court house to
investigate the matter, he learned
that he had registered IS voter. but
not as an army select. He was per
mitted to register.
The draft board believes that other
young men may have made the same
mistake. II there are any men who
have become 81 since June 5, and who
did not register with the conscription
board, they are urged to do 80 at once.
