APPROVE MEASURE
 LEGALIZING BEVO

Hartford, April 3.---The legislative excise committee yesterday voted to report favofab1y on a bill which pro- vides that malt or hops may be used in the making of beverages in Con- nectisut- At present, beverages con- taining malt or hops are classified as intoxicating, but under the proposed law, they would be considered non intoxicants. If the General Assembly adopts the bill on the favorable com mittee report, brewers in this state will be free to manufacture near-beer drinks, and the breweries which might otherwise be unused may be operated for the manufacture of Bevo or near products.
 The committee voted to report un- favorably on other bills, which were up for consideration, among which was one providing that the license fee for clubs be increased from s100 to s750, a bill which was strongly op- posed by representatives of lodges and other organizations that might come under the heading of clubs.
 The committee will report unfaEor- ably, also, one a bill providing that beverages containing "3 per cent. or less of alcohol,'' are not intoxicating.

FOSTER NEW ERA
 IN ENGLAND
Believe in Spirit of Go operation Between Labor
 and Capital.

Washington, April 3.---A new era in Great Britain's industrial system s being fostered by the government, the employers and the workers, declared the Employers Industrial Commits sion, sent abroad by the department Of labor, in it's report to Secretary Wilson, which was made public last night.
 American business men, said an an- nouncement accompanying the conl- missions findings, must quickly re- wise their ideas regarding methods of handling labor, if the movement to- ward radical socialism, generally de scribed in a, loose way as BolshevisTn, Is to be offset in the United States.
 In general said the summary of the commissions investi gations in the British isles the government and most employers and conservative en- ployes appear to be agreed that the spirit of cooperation between labor and capital is highly desirable; that the spirit of conciliatiOn is important for the benefit of the employer in stabilizing his business and for the benefit of the employe in preserving his regularly organized unions; that in collective bargaining the right minded employe will not attempt to crowd his demands 10 the point at which the stimulus for private busi- ness enterprise would disappear"

URGE PASSAGE
 OF AMENDMENT

The recognition given to the women
 of the Allied nations at the Peace Conference, and the two fresh suc- cesses in Maine and Minnesota were
 duly stressed by Mrs. H. Toscan Ben
 nett and Miss Catherine Flanagan at
 a meeting held yesterday. afternoon at The Stratfeld. The meeting was a gathering of members and friends of
 the Connecticut branch of the Ma
 tIonal Woman's Party of Fairfield
 county Mrs. George H. Day of Hartford presided, and the chief pur
 pose of the meeting was to promote
 interest in the Federal Suffrage
 amendment, and arouse local women to the need of impressing their Sena-
 tors and Representative with their
 desire for its passage.
 Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Anne Por-
 ritt spoke again in the evening before
 the members of the Bridgeport PhiIo- sophtcal society. Mrs. Bennett, who has served a jail sentence in Wash ington for picketing the White House, described the conditions of the jail
 and her experiences as a picket. Mrs. pPorritt took as her subject''The League l of Nations and Its Relationship to American Womanhood." She noted | that no league would really represent the nation unless both men and
 women were on an equal footing in | government affairs.
 | Womankind can never be free, she
 asserted, unless mankind were free, since mankind possesses a warlike na- i ture which leads to suppress woman ! kind. In order to equalize the nation ! and make rapid progress it is neces-
 sary that tho women, who possess by
 nature a peaceful temperament, be allowed to have voice in the gov l ernment.
 As for the Minnesota and Maine victories, Mrs. Bennett observed that | not half of the New England states | had given women the right to vote l for President. Connecticut had now voting women, able to have voice in | the choice of the chief executive of 1 the nation to the right of them and | to the left of them. She hoped that | the legislature would pass the Presi- l dential suffrage bill, but in any case
 the anomaly of some women being l enfranchised and other women, living i practically next door, being disfran- 1 chised was too great and too obvious ! to last.

LONDON BUTCHERS.
 NOW DENTISTS

London, Apr. 4.-(Correspondenc of The Associated Press drillers and turner's are practicins dentistry in England. The only re- striction, aside from possible damage suits, Is that the "operator'' does not call himself a dentist practitioner T. is unnecessary to register and any one may start in the business.
 This condition with it's resultant health injuries has long been discus sed in medical organizations without remedy but at last 1t has been in vestigated by a governmental commit tee. The whole system Is criticized and the many American dentists in London are hopeful that Parliament will standardize the practice of den- tistry as it has medicine and at the same time, recognize dentistry as a profession. There is no such recog- milton now.
 Some of the American dentists in London enjoy an exclusive clientele | but the reputation of the United | States for good dentistry has been seized upon by unqualified persons in 1 their flamboyant advertisements. They | may and do advertise American den- l tistry' and escape the technicalitie>
 of the law by not using the word 1 "dentists''

 tors'' work. One had twenty canvas 1 sers some of whom carried theil tools with them so they could "op- | erate'' at the home of the victim l Another made a speciality of correct

tune of Darius increased. At no time, however, was his head turned by the wealth at his command. The little old-fashioned drygoods store was run along the same old lines. Modern cash registers did not replace the cash drawer. MT. Miller, while pro gressive in his ideas, did not care to undertake the task of managing a big business. He preferred the closer relationship between the merchant and patron. A dissatisfied customer was treated on the old-fashioned lines. Your money back without quibbHng" was the policy and there was no attempt at trading out' the amount of purchase. Despite his millions, MT. Miller was never re- luctant to go out on deliveries. A lover of a good horse, he found pleasure in driving out, and it was no uncommon sight to see him with a roll of Hnoleum on his lap making delivery to a patron. No other de- livery was maintained. The little store did a big business. With a change in general business policy there was a noticeable change in the business at the little store. There were times when MT. Miller carried accounts to the amount of $2o,000. Today the business is practically all cash.
 MT. Miller was a member of the First Congregational Church. He Joined the church soon after com ing to New Britain and was always a contributor to it.
 Keen enjoyment at hunting was al ways taken by MT. Miller. Despite his advanced years he took out his hunting license even last fall. En- joyment was found by him in a game of billiards. Every night when his health permitted he visited the New Britain club of which he was q mem- Der, and played a few games with members, and they found in the aged man a skillful player. When the clock struck 10 he ceased his playing and his appearance on the street late at night was usually sufficient tc name the hour.
 Darius Miller, like his brothers, al ways avoided politics. "Stick tC straight business. This country Is al right, but 1t has too many politicians and too much politics. said MT. Mil Ter on one occasion.

He admitted the theft but said it was s1O he took Instead of $20. A peculiar feature of the case was that of a woman who gave the name of Cath erine Conway. said she was the wife of Barnes, that she was married to him a year ago in Bridgeport. and that the woman from whom Barnes was charged with stealing the money was her sister. There was a possi- bility what the woman said was true, but if he was ever, married to the woman Barnes said he had no recol- lection of 1t. Barnes was sentenced to Jail for 30 days.

SALVATION ARMY.

Adjutant George H. Phillips of the Salvation Army has arrived in Bridge port to select a building to be used by the Salvation Army as an Indus trial Home.
 The industrial work in the Salvation Army is on a different basis from the relief work. In the industrial work no soliciting is done but the work is on a self-supporting basis. Waste labor takes care of waste capital, says Adjutant Phillips.
 He wants a building large enough to commodate 25 men with sleep ing room, and a workshop where furniture can be, repaired, a store room and a sales room- In return for work done by the men who apply, they will be fed, clothed, given lodg- ing and a small amount of money.
