HAS ANYBODY SEEN DIR. COOK?

DR.. Frederick A Cook, who dis
covered" the North Pole and who
made the King of Denmark famous,
as he was born June 10, 1865.
The man who has been called the
greatest modern disciple of Ananias,
and a direct descendant of Baron
Munchhausen, and the monumental
faker of all time, and the perpetra-
tor of the worst hoax in history, and
a few other things, does not look, act
or talk like the sort of Cook who
would cook up such a mess of Hes as
he has been accused of doing. With
great frankness the doctor admits he
| may not have reached the exact,
rethematical, geographical spot o.
the map where the North Pole ought
to be, but he still insists that on April
Fl, 1908, he was somewhere in the
immediate neighborhood of IT,,
earth's northernmost point.
While DR.. Cook has, of course, many
enemies, he has also a large numb ar
of adherents who insist that he is
the real discoverer of the North
Iole. They point to the fact that ex-
periences such as his are not without
precedent. In an article several
years ago Edwin Swift BaIch pointed
cut that From time immemoriai
travellers have been called liars" and
added that sit is on the general as
sumption of their Munchausenlike
proclivities that much of the weight
of argument against DR.. Cook ae-
pends," The author pointed out
that Marco Polo, greatest of medic
val travellers, was generally discred-
tied and Fernao Meudes Pinto,
thaniel B. Palmer, Robert Johnson,
James Weddell, Nordenskjold, Bruce
| and many others were for a time re-
viled as fabricators." Henry M. Stan
ley, who explored darkest Africa"
suffered the same fate for a long
time.
All of which, of course, doesn't
prove that DR.. Cook is another un-
justly maligned hero. In conclud-
ing one of his lectures, DR.. Cook de-
clared:
1.-THE Eskimos believe in a heaven
and they think that it is very hot
place, naturally picturing it a happy
contrast to their cold earthly home.
would say to you that if you are
still in doubt as to the truth of my
! claims as to the discovery of the
| North Pole, to be convinced you will
have to go either to the North Pole
or to the-Eskimo heaven"

GIVE FREE ICE
TONEEDY BABIES

The Naugatuck Valley Ice Co., of
which Harry Walker is president, has
offered to supply free ice to families
with babies after an investigation dis
closes the fact that owing to the price
of ice such families would be debarred
from purchasing it. The ice com
panies maintain that it is the in
creased cost of labor and other COM
modities that is responsible for the in
crease in the price of ice. Owing to
the fact that those at the head of the
Ice company realized that there
would be a great many families who
would be hit very hard by the raise
of twenty per cent. for ice President
Walker promised to give free ice in
all cases investigated and the need
proven.

Liquorless Cabarets
Having Hard Time

Detroit, Mich, June 10-Cocktail-
less cabarets, wineless winereoms
and peerless bars are making a de-
termined play for existence in dry
Michigan.
When the amendment to the state
constitution prohibiting the sale, i'm
portation or possession of wines,
beers or distilled liquors became eff
fective May L, it failed to close all the
saloons. In Detroit especially the
bars continue in business in a ma
jority Of cases, the only change being
the substitution of near" beers and
the elimination of drinks prohibited
by the amendment Similar condi-
lions prevail in other cities of the
state, in the copper country on
Lake Superior.
In some cases wineroom proprietors
have taken advantage of the new
regime to. bid for prosperity along
temperance lines Jazz bands have
been retained-in some cases have
even been augmented The same
tables-the same walters; the same
bars-the same bartenders; every
thing is the same, apparently, ex-
cepting the beverages
Proprietors in most cases are op-
timistic concerning the future. Many
believe that with The elimination of
alcoholic drinks there will pass a
major percentage of the drawbacks OF
their business These changes, they
hope, will not interfere to any appre-
ciable degree with their patronage.
Some cabaret owners hope to profit

HELP RAISE FUND
GIFT TO SOLDIERS

United Spanish War veter-
ans of the N. W. BishoA
Camp, are to be actively en-
gagged from June Is to II in raising
it's share of the Pershing Fourth OF
July Fund. This fund is to be pre-
sented to the Connecticut men in
France on July as it is felt that such
a gift although it may not amount to
a great deal per man will be much
appreciated. Restrictions have been
placed on the sending Of gift packages
and so this other form of rernem-
brance will be all the more appre-
ctated 1t is hoped to obtain the sum
of $500.

LICENSE RENEWED

John A Shea of Main street has
had his license application granted
again by the County Commissioners

in the long history of the place have
there been any complaints about it
which is very much. in its favor. The
decision by the Commissioners is a
