COUNT ON THE
 INDUSTRIES TO
 GIVE EDUCATION
Americanization Gan Best Be Handled Thru Them, Says Educational
 Director.

Members of the Manufacturers As sociation are urged to give serious consideration to the accompanying statement prepared for this associa- ton by MT. Deming, director of Amer icaniza ton, State Board of Educa- ton:
 'fIt is the opinion of this Depart ment. that the Americanization prob lem can be attacked more effectively through the industries of the state and by the cooperation of all em- p1oyers than in any other way. It has been incontrovertibly shown that la Dor unrest and discontent go hand in hand with ignorance and non-Eng- fish speaking employees No greater menace has confronted our country than the present unassimilated mass of foreigners, absolutely ignorant of all things American, agitated by liter ature and radicals of the worst type whose arguments and fa1sificaions are unrefuted the year round
 "The world war brought but one great fact to those at home---that America is in danger Of being not q unified America, but a polyg1ot board ing-house- By the last available fig ures from the Census of 1910 there were 64, ,327 foreign-born uersons in Connecticut unable to speak English. Fifty per cent of those employed in gainfu1 occupations were foreign born, and 50 per cent of the foreign born in Connecticut were males of working age. The figures of our army for 1918 as presented by the surgeon general to Congress show that 24.9, or one-quarter of our draft army was iliterate, unable to write or read or ders in English. The call comes for you, both as Americans and industrial leaders, to take definite action regard ing those who live in America but in whom America does not live.

BETTER THAN CALOINEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets
 are a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub stitute for calonel-are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calornel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calonel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct 1t. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Colonel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong Equids. It is best not to take calornel. Let pr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.

.what made Amos Rusie as great pitcher?' was the question put 10 bliiS Murray. the veteran ballplayer, former big league manager and now scout of the Boston Red Sox.
 "Terrific speed. a bewildering out curve and a wonderful drop ball" re- piled Murray. During all the years that I have been connected with base hall have never seen man who had a .smokebalI that eclipsed Rusie's, at his best. Nor have in 40 years seen a hurler who could throw faster breaking and wider outcurve than Ru- sic. And. with the exception of Jack Coombs, Rusie was the only man who could throw drop ball that swerved neither to the right nor to the left; that was a perfect drop.
 .sWhen Rusie mixed up his speed with the roundhouse curve and his mystifying drop ball. he was invinc- ible. His speed was in the truest pos sible sense blinding. Every batter who faced Rusie always had within him at least a small bit of fear that Rusie might bean him or crack a rib with one of his fast ones. And Rusie. knowing this. always played upon that fear.
 "One of Rusie's great tricks was to send the ball. with all the speed at his command, straight for the ribs of the batsman. The ball would come
