Forest Rhodes with his family re- turned from Boston last week, having been staying there through the win ter for treatment for his lameness. A very marked improvement IS notice able in that he moves about some without the aid of even one crutch. Arnold Lawson, son of the Boston fnancier, with his two young sons, has been stopping a few days at the
 Vernon Stiles Inn He was here to visit his two daughters, who are pu- pills at the Marot school, and was wearing the olive drab of the U. s. army.
 Letters received from Dr. Newton I. Jones, a former pastor here in the
 Congregational church, now located in West Tisbury, Mass, contain in- formation that his son Chandler, who served as ensign in the navy, has been discharged and has resumed his place as teacher of modern languages at Montclair Academy.
 The services at the church on Sun day were in and for the interest of the Connecticut Sunday School asso- citation. The address by the state sec retary, Wallace l. Woodin, was on the work being done throughout the country by the association, and was very interesting, furnishing an excep- tional opportunity for the people of Thompson to hear and learn of the need of helpful encouragement of ev- cry religious organization. Unfor- tunately the weather conditions were not favorable for a larger conerega- tion than was present Next Sunday Rev. Charles A Downs of Killingly, chaplain of the Quinebaug Pomona Grange, is expected to occupy the pull pit.
 Schuyler Davis, whose burial was in East Putnam last week. was one of the few of that name that was once SO numerous in the town of Thomp- son. MT. Davis belonged to the fam fly by that name whose members have figured in the affairs of town and nation quite prominently, beng a son of Marion Davis, whose broth CTS were the late Deacon George DaV- is of Brandy Hill district; Ebef, who was a farmer in Wilsonvllle district; Eden Davis of Webster, who at one time represented that town Tn the Massachusetts legislature His cous. in. the late Gen. George w. Davis of Washington, D. C., figured at one time in the affairs of governing the Philippines, serving the '. s. govern ment in that capacity MT. Davis has not been a resident of Thompson for about fifty years, going away to Prov idence at that time. where he died, but for a few past years he has been frequent visitor to relatives in our community, and some years spending vacation of week or more meeting old acquaintances, seeming to have 2 fondness for the scenes of his early life.

MERCHANTS ENCOURAGE
 WISE SPENDING
Home Sewing Provided For.

Dry goods merchants in every part of the country report radical changes in their customers buying habits, due to war experience People seek sound values in clothes. There is no disposition to be parsimonious, or ments by wearing quality They nc longer purchase short-life gowns or fabrics for the sake of showy ap- peatapce. Thrift has brought in a new fashion era-quiet models which will be in style several seasons in stead of the one season Creation. ,
 The merchants are cutting down wasteful methods in their stores, and eliminating superhuous service. un wise credits. unprofitabie deliveries and other happy -go-lucky. hit-or- miss extrayagances for which the public had to pay.
 Another interesting development Is the sale of materials for home sewing. One store seeks to interest schoolgirls in making their own dresses. Prizes are offered for we'll made garments. sewing instruction is given in the store; suggestions are made for the purchase of material trimmings and patterns,
 Some stores mase up ~u03les con taining all the requisites for a given garment-the fabric and all findings needed.
 Money saved by thts sort Of wist snendinr can be safely Invested ir War Savings and Thrift Stamps.

SERVICE IN THE HOME
What is .1e Actual Cost of Each
 Servant?

How many American housewives understand the actual cost of maid In engaging a household helper the average woman figures only on what the maid asks as wages. The food she eats, the light she uses, the dish es she breaks and the material she wastes are not considered. It would De diffiuolt to figure such items cor rectly, but the amount is consider able. because a maid does not have he interest of ownership to make things go as far as possible. The extra man about the place is also worthy of consideration as an item of expense.
 A housewife who is trying to econ omize by doing her own work should, at present prices, reckon al least S5 per week for the items mentioned Should she save $5 in wages. 1t will be equivalent to s10 weekly.
 Many a woman is thus saving for a future need, education for the ehil- dren, to own home, or some other worthy object. Of course she invests in War Savings Stamps, but does she realize that from her savings as her own home worker she could buy two stamps where now she buys one?
 She may wish to teach her little daughter thrift, as well as household duties. In that case, why not pay her small wage for washing dishes, dusting, etc. She could also teach the child to invest portion of the sum iu Thrift Stamps, and thus bring down the proverbial two birds. teach ing usefulness and thrift.

clar.ng that the hardships endured by

them by the Salvation Army. The letter,
mailed in Paris, reads:
II have great pleasure IN sending YOU
this letter to say how highly think OF
tho great work which has been done by
the Salvation Army among the allied
armies In France and the other theatres
of war. From all sides hear the most
glowing accounts of the way in which
your people have added to the comfor,
and welfare Of our soldiers. To me 1,
has always been great Joy TO think
how much the sufrerings and hqrdsh.ps
endured by our troops In all parts Of tho
world have been lessened by the self.
sacrifice and devotion shown to them ny
that excellent organization, the Saliva

conduct the second entertainment and
they cherish hopes that he will become

Quoted the symphony orchestra as a
guest in the absence of Emil oberhofer.
Mr.. Bodanzky Is not at all inexperienced
as symphonic director. and his achieve
ment last evening gave evidence of his
knowledge Of the routine OF the spe-
cialty.
The programme consisted of the FIRST
symphony Of Brahms, BerlioE's "Carni'
val Roman" overture, Debussy's pre-
Jude to The Afternoon OF q Faun." the
scherzo from Mendelssohn's "Midsum-
mer Nights Dream" music and Wag-
ner's ''Tannheuser" overture.
The orchestra played much better I'M
der Mr.. Bodansky than under his prede-
cessor. The tone was more compact,
solid and vibrant and the attack had
more precision. The nuancing was at
times labored, as one would expect from
some rough passages. But on tho whole
the ocoa sion was one of promise. Mr..
Bodansky showed q prediction for
analysis, exposition of method and de-
iiberste tempt. but the slow movement
of the symphony was excellently done,
while the coda of the last movement was
a brilliant achievement. The audience
was very enthusiastic.

ALBANY WITHOUT NEWSPAPERS
Printers strike Despite Union
OmciaIs' Warming.


ALBANY, May ALBANY was with
out afternoon local newspapers to-day
and tonight the management Of the two
morning papers sent their editorial force
home and announced that they would
be unable to publish tomorrow on ac-
count OF the strike OF the printers, which
started at midnight last night. This Is
the first time since newspapers were
established here that editions were not
published.
The printers struck despite a warm
ing from NJ. G, Scott, president OF the
International Typograp hicai Union, that
they will not be upheld by the Execu-
tive Council, because three OF the
four Albany dailies have contracts
whereby differences between publishers
and printers were to have been sub
mitted to arbitration. International Of
ficers are said to be on their way to
Albany.
The men asked a fiat increase of ten
dollars week. with a seven hour day.
Publishers say the printers demanded a
settlement OF wage questions before
anything else was taken up. and the
strike resulted because they could not
agree on the wage award. The men
were offered two dollars a week increase
for six months and four dollars for the
next six months. but they voted to strike
unless they got six dollars,

BELGIAN RELIEF IS :.
FORMALLY ENDED
Commissions Work Taken
Over by Commercial Organ
ization Here.

The activities of the Commission for
Relief In Belgium SO far as they con-
Germ shipments Of food to that country
came to an end yesterday. and the work
and the feet OF merchant ships hitherto
operated under the direction Of the COM
mission have been taken over by p. n.
Gray Co., Inc, which Is a CONNER
cial organization, however and not a
successor to the commission, Associated
with Mr.. Gray in the venture will be
Alexander J. Hemphiil OF the Guaranty
Trust Company. who was treasurer OF
the commission, and William b. Walsh.
The ending of the work of the commits
sion brings to an end the most preten-
tious and notable effort which the
American people have ever made to re-
lieve stricken people, Since the be-
ginning of the war the commission has
shipped to Belgium more than 5000. 800
tons Of food. costing more than $780,
100000. in addition to clothing. agri-
cultural implements and household arti-
Giles. 1t operated 3s7. 1000 tons Of ship
ping. all of which is TO be turned over to
the new concern.
Mr., Gray. who heads the new COM
pany. is the OFFICIAL buyer in the United
States for the Belgian Government. and
has been given a contract TO purchase
here and ship the food supplies needed
In King Aibert's country. His company
will undertake to ship a total OF 10000
tons a month. To pay for this food the
Belgian Government has established in
the United States a commercial credit OF
$5o.o00.Ooo, and many orders for tex
tiles and machinery have been placed.
Food for the first months shipment has
already been obtained.
Mr.. Gray said yesterday:
shortly after the signing Of the
armistice the commission announced to
It's supporters in the United States that
the Belgian people required no further
charitable contributions, as on regaining
their liberty, they desired to stand on
their own feet and take care OF their
own people without outside Assistance.
The Investigations which made recently
In Belgium for Mr.. Hoover convinced
him that the time had come when the
Belgian and French populations OF the
invaded districts could arrange their
own food imports through their own
Governments and normal commercial
channels Therefore. 1t was arranged
that on May l shipments from America
by the Commission for Relief of Belgium
would cease.
THE whole endeavor for the Belgian
people Is headed toward a restoration
Of normal commerce and for this reason
It was deemed advisable to allow the
laws OF supply and demand TO govern
the food trade of the country. For the
time being. however. there must continue
governmental restriction on selling
prices In Belgium to prevent inordinate
profiteering and consequently the Bel.
gian Government determined to establish
its own agency for the purchase OF food
and supplies in this country"

was announced yesterday by Lee Shut

that they will visit New York and the
larger cities In limited Shakespearian
repertoire. .,
.'"In reality" said Mr.. shubert, Miss
Mariowe never has retired, because she
was compelled to stop acting while
playing in Los Angeles. According to
present plans they will open IN New York
in October in REVEALS of their greatest
Shakespearian successes. Afterward
they may be seen in Boston, Philadel-
phia and Chicago, but q further tour is
a matter for the future to determine"
For their returning vehicles they have
chosen Twelfth Might" The Tanning
Of the Shrew" and Hamlet" These
only are to be played because they en-
body the romantic, the comic and the
tragic. and the feminine roles give Miss
Marlowe her greatest opportunities. Mr..
Sothern. who has spent much time In
France entertaining American soldiers,
while. his wife has also devoted herself
to war work. thus explained their re-
turn yesterday:
The matter simply resolved itself
into this, that there have been so many
affectionate calls for Miss MArlowe
that she now feels herself able to take
UP her work once more. When abe lief:
the stage so suddenly II was sad to
think that she was not even able to say
