If We we're commission
cd to select that single
piece for you, it would be
well. let us see:
Maybe that superb round
nratter, 10 inches in di-
- eter, of opalescent glass,
with rim of clear glass. II
is partly covered with a
unique design in latticed or
d'aronded effect, studded
With large, raised, oval
shaped blue dots that look
like turquoises.
As an ornament alone
this piece Of splendor would
pay for its keep at only
SIS; but IL may be put 10
work for its living at
watermelon time, or may
be heaped with sandwiches,
small cakes or fruit; while
as a float" for water-lilies
or other fiat floral decora-
tions it would be loveliness
itself.
In that same fascinating
turquoise-studded glass
come several large candy
jars. and a vase or two.
One jar (s10) is of the opal
escent glass. with clear
glass for the base and rim.
while another. also costing
$40, is of a family tinted
green.
THE candy-jar is decid-
i edly the vogue now.
YOU know, and there are
many different styles, at
different prices, to be found
in the Glass and China
Store, but none more at
tractive than those in this
Venetian collection.
One in milky glass, ap-
preaching iridescent effect,
is a thing of art. In shape
it rises in a succession of
spiral swells, like the move
ment of saHd-waves in a
wind-storm, to the top,
which is crowned by a pear
of yellow glass which forms
the stopper. Only So.
Other examples of the
moderateness of the prices
are vases at So TO s12; can
dlesticks at SO pair;
plaques a n d sandwich
trays, 81 to $40; finger
bowls, including plates, S12
a dozen.
The jam jars seem TO at
tract most people (even
without the jam!) They
are cunning little globular
jars, containing just about
enough jam to satisfy any
family that respects Hoov-
er, and they may be had in
both amber and pale green
glass, with lids ornament
ed artistically with tiny,
cunningly wrought glass
pears or clusters of other
fruit in the natural colors.
4 MONG the novelties in
L n this Venetian collec-
tion are the large. grace
fully shaped glass jars
which can be used either as
aquariums, or, if the fish
insist on dying or the own
er's fancy tires of watching
their vivid figures darting
hither and yon, as flower
holders.

Another very beautiful
aquarium or flower-bowl IS
a large globe with pretty
flare rim of glass, light-cut
in a charming daisy cluster
design. S15.
Yet another at $15 is Of
plain, clear glass, in a
graceful jar shape, with
pretty glass handles at
sides.
Simpler designs in small

at only So and SO.
Evidently aquariums need
no longer depend for all
their attraction on the fish. .

bring it within most peo-
pies reach.
Colors run the usual
range-glowing amber, clear
glass, glass of milky or
opalescent hue-and a few
pieces as white as curds.
Then there are pieces in
pale, cool green: in blue of
the larkspur and blue of the
aquamarine; in rich red
and still richer mulberry.
Y sentially a ware for
the dining-room, and like
the youngest daughter in a
fairy tale, is as useful as
it is beautiful.

VOTE MONEY TO
AUDIT REPORTS
FOR PARISHES

Hartford, May 23-Delegates to the
annual convention Of the Episcopal
diocese of Connecticut in their second
days session here yesterday, vote to
allow the diocesan committee on
finance $500 with which to obtain aud
iting of parish financial accounts The
committee had asked for s., 500. The
vote for the amended sum followed a
long discussion and stood So to A.
Further action along financial lines
was the raising of the saalry of the
secretary of the diocese from $3.50 to
$500 and the placing of $500 at the dis
posal of the diocesan board of reltg-
ious education. An amendment which
sought to reduce this amount to $500
was lost by a narrow margin.
The report of a committee appoint
ed by the last annual convention to
look into the matter of making lay
men eligible to membership on the
standing committee was presented.
The committee advocated no change
in the present practive of having the
standing committee consist of seven
clergymen.
A lively discussion followed the re-
port of a committee which proposed
that voting privileges be denied those
members of a parish who had not at
tended regularly the church services
and had not contributed to the ex-
penses of the parish in the six months
preceding a parish meeting.

RED CROSS CAR
PROVING A VERY
PROFITABLE ONE

Team No. of the Red Cross under
the captaincy of E. T. Buckingham is
certainly putting pep" into the cam
paign. The idea of a. Red Cross troll
ley car to be run on the various lines
is novel one and the sale of tickets
for this car is booming. This is ac-
counted for in the main perhaps from
the fact that the tickets are being
sold by pretty Red Cross girls with
very persuasive manners. Edward
Nora is in charge of the trolley car
and with his witty remarks through
megaphone from the sack of the
car he persuades many to take a ride
on this car. Again here pretty Red
Cross girls take your tickets or fare
and they give you a pleasant smile
and a transfer to show that you have
ridden on the Red Cross car.
Last night at the corner of Fair
field avenue and Main street an en-
tertainment was given by this team
under the direction of Earle Colby
and during the entertainment pretty
High school girls under the leader

Among the entertainers were the

ILLECITIMATE
CHILDREN COME
IN FOR SHARE

Washington, May 23,-The rights
of illegitimate children and the States
responsibility for seeing that every
child. no matter what it's parentage,
has the nurture, protection, and edu-
cation essential to his usefulness as
a citizen are for the first time given
complete national reception in the
Norwegian laws concerning illegiti-
mate children, according to a report
issued today by the Children's Bur-
eau of the U. S. Department of La
Dor.
These laws make. the state in
stead of the mother responsible for
establishing paternity. The State
holds both parents equally and con-
tinuously responsible for the illegiti-
mate child-'"The child shall be en-
titled to bringing up-maintenance,
training, and education-from both its
father and its mother" The report
contains a translation of the several
Norwegian laws, with amendments, on
illegitimate children and their care.
The attitude which looks upon il
legitimacy as a child-welfare prob
lem that must be solved for the sake
of the child and of the State is ex-
empli1ed by this Norwegian legisla-
ton. In connection with it's studies
of bearing Of the war upon child vel
fare the Children's Bureau examined
the evidence obtainable but could not
find that it justified the statements
that have been circulated of wide
spread increase in illegitimacy since
the war. The Bureau believes, how
ever, that the needs of the fr11egiti-
mate child must be considered in the
Children's Year campaign "to save
100000 chi1drens lives during the
second year of the war and to get a
square deal for children" In the
Children's Year Working Program
attention is called to the necessity of
providing opportunity for normal de-
veloment to the child of unmarried
parents.

DESTROYING BIRD
LIFE IN THE PARK
To the Editor of the Times:

To the Editor of the Times:
My Dear sir-Residents in the i'm
mediate proximity to Beardsley park
have been reporting to me because
of my interest in the protection of
bird Iife) thew anton destruction of
nests, eggs and young birds which
they noticed being done yesterday and
just previous by boys and others old
enough to know better, so I am ask
ing you to give this publicity by print
ing this letter as statement of the
Nervousness of the acts and of the
utter disregard of principle for
which we as nation are fighting
the protection of weak peoples Is
the destruction Of bird life less wan
ton and heinous than the destruction
by the cruel Hun of the peoples of
Poland, Belgium and elsewhere?
Let those who have been guilty of
bird destruction take warning that the
matter is being taken in hand by the
authorities and that all offenders will
be severely dealt with.
It would help matters If the teach
ers in the various schools would speak
of the matters of the protection of
bird life at this very time.
Very truly yours,
Benjamin F. Root,
May %. 1918.

PATIENT JUMPS
OUT OF WINDOW

A patient at the Bridgeport hospital
today jumped from a second story
window at that institution and ran
rapidly down the street in the direc-
ton of the center Of the city. While
it had been generally believed by
physicians and nurses at the hospital
that the invalid who had chronic mel
ancholia was incurable, all attempts
to catch him were futile and at noon
today the search was abandoned, A
note being found which read as, fol-
lows: Have started for the News

for Melancholia."
