P11 P11uAINVUIE NEWS 5O CHILDREN WILL RECEIVE DIPLOMAS Grammar School Pupils Will Be
 Graduated Tomorrow NICE PROGRAM ARRANGED
Many of the Pupils Will Attend High
 School While Others Will Start at Once on Their Life Work-Other News Items or Interest. x

Another June has rolled around and grad uatiOn time has come alm ost unheralded in expectation Of the Com- ing Celebra ton and other events of interest in the town. Tomorrow after- noon one of the largest classes ever to leave the local schools will be gradu- ated from the Plainville Grammar school with the usual appropriate graduation exercises in the auditorium of the Congregational church at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The gradua- tiOns have been held in the church since the destruction of the old town hall by fire
 Of the pupils graduating amanM have signified their intention of con- .tinuing their education at the New Britain High school the New Britain Trade school and some at business colleges. Most of the pupils have been taught the value of an education and are desirOus of continuing fur ther.
 The school year completed tomor- now has been a trying one for both pupils and teachers. Both, however, have labored hard to overcome the difficulties. The epidemic Of influenza caused the closing of the schools for several weeks ands it was a hard proposition to make up for lost time. Next Tuesday and Wednesday the town celebrates it's 50th anniversary and it's celebration to returned Sery- ice men. The school board had plan ned to hold the graduation the same week but changed it's plans when the other two events were learned of. It was then voted to have three half day sessions on Saturday in order to ad-
 
 20th of the month. Tn this ,also the teachers and pupils co-operated and the half day sessions were almost as well attended as were the resalar week day sessions.
 Competition for high honors in the class was most interesting and two young ladies were successful in being victorS. Nathalie Case won first hon. ors for scholarship as valedictOrian, while Alice M. Barden came second as salutatorian. The class numbers just 50, of which 26 are honor pupils The class colOrs are blue and red, the class flower a red rose, and the motto "On to Nictory.'
 Admission tc the graduation will be mostly by ticket. The entire down. stairs and the center gallery seats arc. all reserved.
 The following are the pupils grad uating according to their rank:

ta debater, his knowledge Of congress
sional procedure and his experience in
matters of legislation will all be at his
party's command.
The shearing of the speakership grew
out Of the fight on what was called
"Cannonism" It was charged that Mr.
Cannon as Speaker with the power of
naming the committees possessed too
much power, and abused it. But it has
never been shown that better commit
tees marked the change from the old
order to the new. And, strangely
enough, the man who while in the
Speakers chair was described as a
"czar" has since his return to the
floor been considered one of the con-
servative influences in the chamber,
and treated with the greatest defer
ence by both sides.
The speakership under the odd order
was rated next to the presidency in
potency. It was referred to as "the
second office under the government"
But under the new order it tops the
vice presidency only in the fact that
the occupant is a member of the body
over which he presides, and has a vote,
if he desires to cast it, on any measure
that comes up for action. He is rep
resentative among representatives.

injustice to ascribe, as some do, the
democratic defeat last year to him.
Engaged as he was in war work, he
lacked the time for campaign work !;
and having to choose between the two,
he chose the former, with the Presi-
dents knowledge and consent. He
could not have saved the day. The
President tried, and failed. How, then,

In their new chairman the repub-
licans have a "6nd." The democrats,
If possible, must match him. For the

work produced by the war, and which
cannot be attended to offhand.

The Presidents Return.

If present plans hold, the President
will sail for home three weeks from
today. Allowing him, then, week on
the water, he should be in the White
House ten days before the adjournment
of Congress.
They will be very busy days. His
table will be piled high with business.
His friends will want to take his hand
and hear a word about his trip.
For his part, he will wantssome de.
tails about what has been going on in
his absence-not alone about congress
sional matters, or matters relating to
his department of the government, but
matters in general. "What's the newss"
will come pat to his lips.
Presumably, Secretary Tumulty will
be prepared to answer the question.
He is probably keeping close track of
all the matters his chief is likely to be
most interested in. They work to-
gether with good understanding, each
of the others tastes and duties.
With the Sixty fifth Congress ad-
journed and off his hands, the Presi-
dent must then bethink him of the
Sixty-sixth, and decide what to do
with it. He may need, and ask for,
some counsel on the subject. He knows,
or will know then, something Of popu-
lar speculation about an extra session.

It will be the Senate of the new Con-

that one piece Of business.

They are coming every day,
and the woman who buys her
clothes early, or the woman who
is planning a Southern trip, will
find many very delightful new
modes from which to choose.
Smart Frocks are shown in the
new chemise models, fashioned
from printed tricolette, with
skirts of plain white. And others
are of printed voiles. The new
Kumsi-Kumsa silk fashions
chemise frock of distinction.
Suits that feature the loose,
long vest demanded by Dame
Fashion. appear in tricolette.
One box coated model in black
has its vest of sapphire blue.
Another of rich seal brown has
the vest and the lining of the
stunning scarf collar that falls
to the bottom of the coat, or
wraps gracefully about the
throat, of soft beige.
Sport Suits appear in gay col
ors of rose or turquoise in both
tricolette and wool jersey.
Serviceable pongee, in both white
and natural, is used for jaunty
suits, unlined, and cut with or
without belts, but featuring patel,
pockets on coat and skirt.
The vogue for white and black
is beautifully expressed in a suit
combining a short box coat of
black satin with skirt and vest
of white Paulette. The satin coat
is banded with a deep fold of
tucked satin, and the bottom of
the vest, as well as the bottom of
the Paulette skirt, is finisheN
with six-inch cuff or French
hem.
Dominette Trico of soft beige
fashions a cape that boasts a
self-colored satin lining, and that
hangs in long graceful folds,
making it as suitable for Spring
and Summer wear at home as it
is for sunny Southern chimes.
Each day brings new models,
new ideas, for the woman who
follows the whims of Dame
Fashion.

The Speakership Of the House.

It seems to be assumed that the re-
publicans in organizing the next House
will not restore the old order respect
ing committees, but continue the order
established by the democrats, whereby
assignments are made, not by the
Speaker, but by committee acting for
the majority membership.
Under this new order the Speaker
exercises no power but that of q pre-
siding officer. At most, he rules upon
motions, and uaon points Of order
raised in the debates. He helps to
shape no policies; and if he is con-
suited about business, it is through the
courtesy and necessities of members
needing and seeking advice.
Mr.. Clark, after eight years spent in
the Speakers chair, is returning to the
floor He has served well as a presid-
ing officer, having been fair in his deal
ings with both sides. But that service
has been at the expense Of q larger
service he was abundantly qualified to
perform. As an old congressional
hand, he might have contributed good
deal to legislation had his power as
Speaker been greater.

A Murderous Maniac.

An extraordinary crime or series of
crimes was committed in this city yes
terday morning and the police are fac
ing difficult task in the apprehension
of the criminal. A man, evidently
maniac, entered three houses, shot two
women and choked a third and made
his escape. A thorough search Of the
city by the entire police force, aided
by soldiers and civilians, has not yet
resulted in his capture.
That the man is insane is the first
assumption. He may have escaped
from some institution, or he may have
been suddenly stricken with the homi-
cidal frenzy that caused Friday morn
ing's outburst. There are but few
clues to his identity, though general
description Of him has been obtained
from one Of the victims.
Crimes Of this character are neces-
sarily terrifying, They recur from
time to time in large cities. Almost
every community has record of such
mysteries. Some Of them have been
solved and some Of them have remain
ed without solution. Police work in
the circumstances is difficult, as the
criminals work with exceptional
shrewdness. one of the phases Of their
peculiar condition of mind. Some
years ago London suffered series of
these atrocities, which continued for
weeks without check, although every
possible effort was made to catch the
fiend. Washington has had several
visitations Of this general character,
though never before Of a murderous
type.
While the search continues there is
especial reason for every householder
to be particular about door and win
dow fastenings. Friday morning the
intruder gained entrance into the
premises by the easiest means, through
unlocked doors in two cases and
through half raised window near the
ground in the third. Every possible
precaution must be taken to safeguard
houses and apartments.

Vance McCormick's Successor.

. SuVOV00V4s
The democratic national committee
will meet in this town next month to
choose a new chairman, who will serve
until the assembling Of the next ma
tional convention. Whether he serves
longer will depend on the nominee of
the convention, who will name the
campaign manager.
If Mr.. Wilson is the nominee he will
practically manage his own campaign.
He was the controlling force in 1912,
and again in 1916. Although in the
former year making his debut as ma
tional quantity, he showed quick
sense of the requirements, and met
them. Since then he has made q study
Of politics, and is reckoned by both
sides now as an expert player. He
has the game by heart. With him,
politics is never adjourned.
But the new chairman, whether his
term be long or short, should know his
trade. He will be no mere stop-gap.
Politics has entered upon new phase,
in that, now, "the show never stops
The performance is continuous. Some
thing is doing all the time.
This makes national committee work
important and imperative. Much is
expected Of those who are commits

their eyes open, and rolling over the

must be noted, and whatever steps they
suggest promptly taken.

he is not already familiar with the

snd meet them.

A Warning to Claimants.

Notice is given by the interallled
council at Paris that all efforts of ma.
tions aspiring to territorial enlarge.
ments to establish their claims by force
in advance of the peace decision arc
to be regarded as prejudicing those
claims. The council announces that "it
will create the presumption that those
who employ force doubt the justice
and validity of their claim and purpose
to substitute possession for proof of
right and set up sovereignty by coer.
cion rather than by racial or national
preference and natural historical asso-
citation"
This warning is inspired by several
instances of premature action which
have caused serious trouble in the area
Of territorial dispute. In some of the
cases force has been a necessity of self
defense, as in eastern and southeastern
Poland, to prevent inroads by the boil
sheviki. But elsewhere the object Of
military expeditions has plainly been
Paris decision, which, if there is to be
any stability in Europe, must be final.
This warning should not only stop
dangerous military activity on the part
Of nationalistic claimants, but it should
make for sounder decision when the
cases are finally disposed Of as indi-
Gated. When the three armistices were
signed it was hoped that, save for mill
tary necessities to prevent the enemy
powers from renewing the conflict,
everything would be left in statu quo,
in state Of trust as it were, pending
decision. Impetuous action, however,
was taken in some cases, and those who
had been fighting in alliance against
the common foe became enemies. Ra-
cial antipathies were aroused, jealous
les were engendered and undoubtedly,
as the warning Of the council at Paris
indicates, cases were prejudiced.
If Jugoslavia's claims to the Dalma-
tian coast are sound and justiiable as
against the Italian claim based imme-
diately ON the treaty Of London, the
existing military situation, established
as means of peace insurance, will not
govern. If the claims Of Poland to the
Vistula outlet to the Baltic at Danzig
are well based and just German occupa-
tion Of that area meanwhile will not
prevent the award Of the territory to
the new state. If the Greek claim to
the Dodecanesos, the "twelve islands"
Of the Aegean, are good Italy's present
occupation Of them as result Of the
war moves of 1912 and the treaty of
London of 1915 will not estop the Paris
conference from confirming it. If Ru-
mania's claims to Transylvania or the
new Czech states claims to Slovakia or
Denmark's claims to Schleswig are JUS
+ ti6able no military activity there is
necessary to insure an equitable find
ing.
It is to be assumed that this warn
ing will be promptly needed. It does
not signify that the countries, little or
big, that have sought to clinch their
claims by premature activity will Sc
cure them by remission or, on the other
hand, will have lost their rights by
the moves they have already made
The cases are to be considered and
Judged on their merits alone.
