DIDO.

Dido was the daughter of Be1us. King of Tyre, and wife of Sichalus
 high priest. Her brother, Pygmalion when he succeeded his father to the throne, murdered Sichalus to get pos session of his riches. Dido, disconsoI- ate for the loss of her husband, set sail with numerous followers for a new settlement, taking her husbands s treasures with her. During the voyage she stopped at the coast of Cyprus. from which she carried away fifty young women and gave them as wives to her followers. Storm drove her on the African coast, where she bought land and built a citadel, which she named ByrSa. The rapid. increase in the population of the new settlement soon made her enlarge her dominfons. Her beauty and fame gained her many admirers, and her subjects wished her to marry Jarbas, King or Maureta nia
 who threatened to make war on them Dido asked for three months time to
 consider before giving her final an- a funeral pyre and when all was ready, she called upon the people to
 assemble before it. Then , mount ing the pyre, she sta bbed herself to death in the presence of her people. Thus she chose death rather than infedelity to her husbands memory. Dido lived about 9S0 B. c.

are placed in these family homes throughout the State. In the child placing work the Society exercises great care to keep in close touch with every child placed in a family home. This requires a staff of competent workers, without whom the value of this effort would be greatly re- duced.
 Many homes in trouble have been restored, and children are placed tn adoption.
 Cottage at Woodmont-o where summer outings are provided each year for a large number of needy children and their mothers.
 The financial support of this So- ciety is derived from private dona- tion, partial help from parents. and some assistance from our State.
 It is proposed to erect a new fire proof Home suitable for all needy crippled children and credit to our State-to eliminate the three-story wooden fire traps at Newington, now from every standpoint inadequate for this important branch of the Society's $ activity.
 It is believed that approximately 50@o of the stated amount can be used as an Endowment Fund.
 We trust an organized Drive, such as conducted during the war for Red Cross, Liberty Loans, etc, will not be necessary, but such a Campaign will be inaugurated in September if the citizens of Connecticut do not respond without this great expenditure of time and effort.
 It Is hoped the full amount will be pledged at an expense so small that drive experts will be amazed.
 Before asking for any definite do- nations we will compile a list Of pros porous concerns and individuals wish ing to co-operate-who will deter mine the amount of their gifts later in the Campaign. Cards will be dis tributed for these names and ad- dresses.

WALT MASON PRESENTS
 HOUSING SITUATION.

From out west the Curt1S com panies have sent to the United States Department of Labor a characteristic poem written for their service by Walt Mason. The poem encourages building as follows:
 Houses Scarce.
 Oft I hear discordant slogans, hear the loud and sad lament; men are wearing out their brogans hunting houses they can rent. Every village, town, and city sees the same dis couraged crew; and it seems to me a pity that good houses are so few
 In my native burg, Empory, I see women chasing round, and they tell the same old story-houses simply can't be found. And the same sad word is spoken everywhere I chance to roam; from Topeka to Hoboken folks are hunting for a home.
 When they're sick and tired of chasing, when their souls with woe are filled, maybe they will be some bracing; maybe they'll decide to build Rents are higher now than ever, and the prices won't slump back, and that man is really clever who will build himself shack.
 But the cost" I hear men yawp- ana they put roars, for they never have been shop ping at the modern lumber stores Building goods today are cheaper than all other goods you buy; all commod odities are steeper-ask the lumber dealer nigh.
 Moneyed men are often questins for gold bricks. and dern the price; always ready for investing in blue sky and pickIed ice. If they'd build a lot of houses they might dwell in Easy Street, where the catawampus browses, and the dingbat's song is sweet. Every time they'd build 8 dwelling crowds would come, and still increase, crying. clamoring, and yelling, begging for f1ve-year lease. There's no better proposition than this thing of building homes. and the fact should find position in the pluto cratic domes.
 And the man with modest bundle should be renting nevermore; he should take his wad and trund1e tc the lumber 6eaIer's store.
