Burns agency about two years ago and he sold tho majority of the company's stock to a MT. Clark of Milford. The defey- dant claims that Burns cannot re- cover commission from both sides of the transaction, he having se- cured commission from MT Clark.

VASES MADE FROM
 SHELL. CASES EXHIBITED
Private Kenneth Adam Sends Pair to Parents from
 Assace

For the first time, we believe, a pair of vases made from the shell cases of the famous French 75 m. type shells are on display ill this town. The vases were sent to MT. and Mrs. c. A. Adam, by their son Kenneth, who is with the American army of occupation in France. Through the kindness of MT. and Mrs. Adam these vases are on exhi- bition at the News office.
 Private Adam, in writing to his parents, stated that these shell cases were picked up by him in Alsace few days after the armis- tice was signed. He broughc them to Recey, France, where he induced French soldier to make them into vases, which are a most beautiful souvenir of the great war.
 The vases stand about eleven inches high and are 31a inches in diameter. The shells were hammer- ed into such shape as to make a vase and on the upper portion the Ameri- can and French flags are em- bossed in colors. Similar shells were used to large extent by the Ameri- cans against enemy aircraft.
 Private Adam also sent to his parents an envelope addressed to him from this town which followed him for four months. The envelope has number of addresses and goes to show that the war department has done everything possible to deliver the soldiers mail.

VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN
 WILL START APRIL 21st
Campaign Closes Three Weeks Later on May 10-Short Term
 Notes to be Offered

The Victory Liberty Loan cam paign will open Monday, April 21, and close three weeks later--Satur- day, May 10. Secretary Glass an Inornced thhe dates last week, to- gether with the fact that short term notes maturing in not over five years would be issued instead of longer term bonds. The amount of notes to be offered was not dis closed, but it has been generalIy un- derstood that the loan would be for a minimum of $5,000, ,000,o0O, with the treasury reserving the right to accept all over-subscriptions MT. Glass said the interest rate on the notes and the amounts 10 be exempted from taxation would not be determined until a week or two before the campaign, as they would be based upon financial conditions at that time. 1t was intimated, how ever, that the notes might bear in- terest in excess of IA per cent the interest rate on the third and fourth loans. .l...
 "After studying financial condi- tions in all parts of the country, said MT. Glass, "T have determined that the interests of the United States will best be served at Chls time by the issuance of short term notes rather than of longer term bonds which would have to bear the limited rate of interest of Az per cert.
 "The Victory Loan will, therefore, take the form of notes of the Uni ted States maturing in not over five years from the date of issue. These notes will be, as were the Liberty Loan bonds, the direct promise to pay of the United States, will be issued both in registered and coupon form, and then coupon notes will be in final from and will have attached the interest coupons covering the entire life of the notes. I am hope ful that the notes in final engraved form, and the coupon notes will be the opening of the campaign on April 20.
 T am led to adopt the plmn of issuing short term notes rather than long term bonds largely because Of teh fact that l ~telieve that j short term issue will maintain a price at about par after the campaign is con- cluded far more readily than would a longer term issue.

ICANTZATION IN THE
 SCHOOLS OF THE STATE
60, 1000 People Unable tc Read or Write Says Mir.
 Light

The following interesting address was delivered by MT. Light of Hart ford at the junior four~;ninute speaking contest at the town hall. MT. Light gives some pertinent facts regarding Americanization in Con necticut.
 I suppose that this is time in America, in Connecticut, and in your town in which there is good deal of heart searching into the things which we will need in order to meet the problems which we as a community and as state must meet in the next decade and in the next half century. It is generally re- ferred to as the problem of recon struction.
 You have heard the speakers this afternoon tell of the problems which face Europe. These are much more intense than ours, but I believe that we in Connecticut, we in America, have just as deep problems, although not quite so sharp as they are facing across the water. Some of the most important of these are those we face in educational work
 It has come to us very forcibly about the need of Americanization. We have some 60,000 people in Connecticut who are unable tC read and write the English language. We have known it long time but it took some of these problems which arose out of this conflict to tell us just what this might mean to us as a commonwealth and as commun- ity.
 We found it necessary Tn the camps in which we trained oar ar mics to teach the English language. We found that necessity in our com munity and in all our camps. Before those men could be trained into American soldiers, before they could understand any of the simple com mands, they had to be taught the English language. But that is only simple thing. American ideals have not yet come to be living, con- trolling forces. It surprises ue all to find that in the public schools in Connecticut there are those who ob- jected to War Saving Drives. etc. They were unwilling that any of the practices connected with the prose cution of thhe war or in connection
