INSULTED HIS COOK
Albert Joseph. Who Also Threatened to Kill Girls Brother, Pays Fine
 of $10 and Costs.

Soloman Sargis came to the police station last night and complained that his sister, Miss Helen Sargis had been insulted by Albert Joseph, a boarder in the house where Helen is cook. He was walking home with his sister, he said, when they met Jo- seph who at once hurled verbal barrage of vulgarity at both of them Officer Frank Hahn was notified and arrested Joseph at the home on Ma pie street. Judge James T. Meskill imposed a fine of $10 and costs in court this morning.
 According to the story of the brother and sister Joseph causes much trouble for both and publicly has threatened to have both of them run out of the city. Soloman claims that Joseph has threatened on several occasions to take his life.

There is but one institution in the state caring for crippled children. That is the Connecticut Children's Aid society's home at NewingtOn, where today there are housed 103 crippled children in a home condemned by insurance companies because it is an absolute fire trap.
 A new fire proof home suitable to care for all the crippled children in the state, is the aim of the society and the one way in which it can be accomplished is through the success of the $5OO,O0O drive.
 Three frame buildings, all old, where conditions are crowded to the limit cealings falling down and plumbing inadequate, now hold only one-third of the states helpless chil- dren and a fire would jeopardze their lives.
 The lack of a suitable home and funds enables the society to reach only a small percentage of the un- fortunate children. Neglect in many cases, where children could have been cured, has caused many to be- come helpless cripples for life. The financial support of the so- ciety has heretofore been derived IOJil pI INdlS oOlIdClO1lS, pSIldll uSlI from parents and some assistance from the state. During the past year 113 operations were perform ed at the home, through which 69 chil- dren were cured and all others defi- nitely improved.
 It will be seen therefore that a great deal is being accomplished un- der trying conditions and it is na- tural to assume that the society S work will certainly be increased to a great extent with the construction of a modern home.
 The drive committee consists of Austin Cheney, president of the so- ciety, Cheney Brothers, South Man chester; Frank C. Sumner, president Hartford Connecticut Trust company, Hartford, and Clarence E. Whitney, president Whitney Manufacturing company, Hartford.
 Conditions at the home, together with the amount of money on hand, make is impossible to care for all the states crippled children. Two thirds of them are being neglected and getting worse daily. Their plight is a serious one. No one can doubt the necessity of the $5OO,0OO cam paign.

IN AUTO COLLISION.
Local People Arc Injured in Accident
 At New Haven.

Two New Britain automobile pal- ties have come to grief on visits to neighb bring cities during the past few days. This report was made by the victims of one of the accidents, who has just been discharged from a hos pital. A. J. Carlson, builder, of 157 Dwight street, was in New Haven Sunday with his wife, daughter and a young man, making the trip in his auto. A large special model McFar- land touring car bearing a New York license crashed into him and pinned the occupants underneath the ma chine. All occupants of the smashed machine were injured. Mrs. Carlson and daughter were removed to the Grace hospital for treatment and were discharged only yesterday. The men in the car were also injured but not badly enough to require hospital treatment.
 Another local autoist reports that while he was IT. al1n, an auto trip in Waterbury yesterday, one of the po- lice patrols of that city crashed into his machine, doing serous damage.

HALF MILLION IS
 SOUGHT IN DRIVE
To Be Used for Welfare ol
 Crippled Children

The welfare of every crippled child in Connecticut will be provided for if a generous response is made by the people of the state to the COnncCti- cut Children's Aid socictys campaign to raise $50O,00O.
 This may seem a broad statement but true nevertheless. A realization on the part of the people of the state of just how pitiable is the condition of some unfortunate boys and girls of Connecticut is all that is needed to convince one of the importance of this work and the necessity for rais- ing the money.
 An organized drive, such as con- ducted during the war by Liberty loans, etc., is not contemp plated un- less made necessary through lack of response to the appeals for aid.

appears to have been offered until the
middle Of the sixteenth century, when
the Egyptian sultan sent new gov
ernor Chair Rey. to Mecca. The gov
ernor knew nothing of the beverage
and became greatly enraged at the
sight Of the dervishes drinking cofee
in the mosques. Upon consulting with
two Persian physicians he decided
that coffee was a substitute for wine,
which was prohibited by the Koran,
and that, therefore, coffee drinking
was a violation of Mohammed's law.
The result was a decree forbidding
the use Of coffee. All berries that
could be found were gathered and
burned in the market place. When
Chair Bey reported his action to the
sultan, it is said that he received this
written reply:
"Your physicians are asses. Our
lawyers and physicians in Cairo are
better informed. They recommend
the use Of coffee. and declare that
no faithful win lose heaven because
he drinks coffee"

EARLY HISTORY OF COFFEE
Traditions Differ, but the Beverage
Has Been Appreciated for Many
Hundreds Of Years.

There is q tradition to the effect
that coffee was found growing wild
In Arabia some 600 years ago by Hadjt
Omar, q dervish. Hadji Omar was
dying Of hunger In the desert, when
ho found some small, round berries
ana tried to eat them. They WERE
hoWever, too bitter. After roasting
thDm he finally stepped them in water
and found the decoction AZ refresh
iny % If he had partaken Of solid food.
Upon his return to Mohka, he brought
bio discovery to the attention OF
the wise man." who were SO well
pleased Herewith that they pro-
claimed Hadji Omar . saint.
In. the BibliotheQue Rationale at
Paris there IL q manuscript written
n Arabic by one Abdelcader, who
AYERS that coffee was drunk for the
drst time in Arabia in the fifteenth
century. Other authorities have It
that coffee was used in Persia as early
% the ninth century, but there is lit
tie evidence to bear out their conten-
ton.
Abdelcader's story Of the discovery
Of coffee is as follows: A certain
Arab. Gemalledin, a Judge IN Alden,
while travelling to Persia-or, as the
historians correct the manuscript, to
Abyssinia- people using cof-
fee as medicine. Gemalledin so EN-.
ployed 1t, and was cured Of an illness.
Later, on becoming a monk, he taught
his brethren in Alden the use Of the
berry.
No oppOsition to the use of coffee
