Wnsted, March 1.--When the pas senger train from Hartford over the Central New England road arrived at 1 D. m. today it being due at 10:13 a. m., the fact became known that the engine and tender had been de railed at Terry Brook station, be- tween New Hartford and Collinsville by reason of a washout.

PAYS TRIBUTE ID
 MISS ALICE MAXON
Mrs, ]. A. Traut ExtOls Work of
 Boys Home MatrOn

The following tribute to Miss Max son, matron of the Boys house on Corbn avenue, the Children's home, is submitted by Mrs, J. A. Traut:
 By the passing out of Miss Alice Maxson, matron of the Boys house on ~Corbin avenue, for 13 years, not only was a foster mother suddenly remov- ed from the home circle of 30 boys who needed her loving, judicious ad- ministration and practical help; it means more--it means the loss of a woman gifted with a true grasp of the, situation-a woman cognizant Of the fact that true love and hope of effcency lie in the cmbination of affection, united discipline and the cheerful fulfillment of duties without protest and question on the part of a child
 Miss MaXson possessed the Qualifi- cations which brought the results no- ticeable in our Boys home. Tn fact. all the children of our Children's s
 home are known for their good be-
 haYior and thughtful conduct every where.
 Miss Maxson, ever regardless Of her own personal comfort, perVaded
 with vigilant eye every hour and cor
 ner of her boys daily life. She watch cd them as they trotted off to school
 she ran to meet them on their return,
 ready to suggest corrections of any act of her charges that did not come
 up to the highest standard of con- duct on their part.
 "She hoVered over them, she loved
 them with that mother spirit fraught with sacrifice of self, ever praying for them. demonstrating, working, be-
 seeching. So that the ideals she had
 in mind and heart for them might
 be achieved and they be found pre-
 pared to meet the manifold demands
 life would make upon each and every
 one of her precious boys on leaving
 the home.
 Mothers, with y01lr brood of little 3 ones around you, may be two, three or five little or big children in the home nest, can you realize what the care of 30 boys, ranging from the ages of to 16 years means and must have meant to their dear departed mother-friend? To have each one well fed, properly clothed and well-be- haved, not cowed or depressed, but just lot of natural, fun-lov1g, glad to-be-alive and to beloved children. ITO be able to imagine this means to have the heart throb with genuine admiration and regard for the woman who so ably performed this Christian task:
 May the memory of Miss Maxson, her fitting qualifica tions as a home maker and disciplinarian help to form the lives and prove a lasting inspira- ton to the dear boys to whose advance nlent she wholly and gladly devoted her life.
 ITO Miss Alice Maxson, this tribute
 to her memory by her friends

ASSOCIATION PROPOSED

Some Of the leading men interest.
ed in New Mexico oil development
suggelt that some general a~ssocia.
ton of oil companies would be de-
sirable. Under the auspices Of such
an association it would BIO possible
to interest outside capital, which is
necessary, shall there be a thorough
test of tho various promising oil
districts in the tate.
This argument is sound. For thirty
odd years has the state tried to find
oil. But every attempt failed be-
cause money was not at hand to make
the test fully. Abandoned shallow
holes tell where much money has
been spent, but these holes e%mphazi.e
the fact that the funds gave out be-
fore any oil pos sibly could be reach
ed.
New Mexico must depend on out
side capital to a great extent to dew
elop it's generally. An as
ISOLATION would be of great value to
promote the growth Of the state
otherwise. We therefore think the
matter should have the immediate
of the oil companies. The
State Record will further discuss the
of forming such an assoc
citation.
