FOUR DIVORCEES ARE
 NEW BRITAIN PEOPLE
Superior Court Decrces Handed Down Yesterday Are of Interest
 to Residents of New Britain.

Four divorcos of local interest were deoreed in the superior court yester- day afternoon, one of them having as it's principals two local residentc. one having one local resident and the other two having former residents applying for separation.
 Minna V: A. Sanders claimed in tolerable cruelty as her grounds for seeking separation from her hus- band, John c. Sanders, former overseas soldier.

OLD MAIDS IN ENGLAND
Men Cannot Afford to Marry. So Re- main Single. and Married Women Are Moro Rare.

London, Dec. 5.-On considering carefully the great advance io prices of everything these days, it, is not surprising that 2,000,000 English girls are "husbandless' now. Diamonds have advanced 75 per cent. in price and wedding rings have gone up ac- cordingly. It is also whispered that the British maid eats more than she used to, accounted for by the fact that her diet was so strenuously cur tailed during the submarine era.
 A box of good chocolates that used to cost 50 cents now fetches SIPS to $1.50 q pound. Tn the frowsiest movie theater they get 60 cents for a. fairly good seat that formerly sold for 25 cents. To obtain decent balcony seat in an ordinary theater one must pay $2. and for first class "stalP' downstairs, $3.
 When it comes to r-marriage expenses the intending husband finds that household furniture has gone up at least 300 per cent. piano costs $500 or $500. A respectable baby carriage sells for $40 to s6O. Shoes are SIP to s15 a pair. As to rent, if a man cannot buy furniture at it's present exorbitant price. he must pay $40 to s60 a week for a small fur nished fiat or a house, in the latter case a necessary feature being cook and at least two other servants.
 Because of all this the British man declares that he simply can't afford to marry. Som ething must be done.

Charges That Radicals in Hartford Jail Are Being Abused Without Foundation, Officials Say.

Hartford, Dec. 5.--Assertions that Russians arrested in this state and held at the Hartford county jail for examination as radical aliens liable to deportation were roughly beaten while being taken to the jail and were led to the federal building for examination chained with filthy letters and that of seven sick prisoners three had died, published in the Russian daily news paper Lycekin Touoer, printed in New York are denied by federal agents.

William Sloane, chairman of the War

nounced yesterday
The goods shipped last month were
100000 less in valuation than those
shipped in November, as the govern
ment has agreed to furnish supplies
which are to be sold at cost in soldiers
stores. Among the things shipped in
December were 54,473 900 cigarettes,
102,378 baseballs and 1,511,792 tins of
jams. Thirty-six per cent of the sup
plies are to be furnished to the SOL
diers without charge.
"This proportion is somewhat in ex-
cess of that which prevailed prior to
the signing of the armistice," Mr..
Sloane says, "and is due primarily to
the comprehensive programme of edu-
cation, athletics and entertainment set
up by the 'Y' for the period of occupa-
tion and demobilization. How these
features of our war service have been
extended is shown by comparative
figures on shipments of athletic goods.

Mr.. Houston, whose address Was

closely connected@ with the pacifism

propaganda. and it is growing rapidly
The committee decided, after two
hour executive session, to go into the
propaganda of the Reds" basing it's
decision to open up the subject on the
belief that the German influence can

Previously Mr.. Stevenson had traced
the growth of pactism in America,

Senator King. that in the universities
of America there has been a fostering
mess OF atheism and the grcssest kind
OF materialism, and of teachings des-

Tor the second time before the House

The committee is conducting a hear

posing government regulation of the

establishment of central agency to
control shipments of meat animals to

as means Of stablizing prices and
preventing gluts in the market He
SAID, however, that supply was not the
only factor IN fixing the market price
Tor livestock, which depended also on
the fluctuating demand Tor meat.
Replying to Representative Stephens.
CT Nebraska, Mr. Armour said the con-
sumcr could protect himself, in a
measure, against high prices by re-
framing from purchasing, but that the
producer Of livestock, like the packer.
had TO take whateveI the market was
paying at the time.
we are very mucn interested in
maintaining reasonable price. much
more so than in having price too
nigh to discourage the eating of. meat
or too low to prevent the raising of
cattle" Mr.. Armour said.
III there was a little more liberal
thought IN the treatment of the pack
ers 1T would be one hundred times bet
ter Tor the general public. The packers
nave been afraid even to talk together
because of charges of colluson. There
ought to DE some way for the packers
producers and consumers to get together
for the advantage Of each"

statement did not include $4,000 900

Mr.. Armour replied that the packers
