TAFTVILLE

The Taftvil1e Loom Ffxers held their regular meeting in the Naturalization club July 10th There was a large at tendance of members and at times ths discussions were very lively. Among the various items of new business tha t came before the body was the question Of the high cost of living and how to combat the same. The sentiment of the body was that the retail merchants were responsible for lot of the price- raising, for it has been noted that as soon as notice has been posted for an increase of wages prices begin to jump immedia tely, not even waiting until the advance takes effect The question Of how to combat these prices was discussed considerable and the most popular idea was the co-opera- tive store plan whereby each member is a shareholder and receives his goods at cost price plus overhead expenses If prices continue to raise in the fu- ture as they have in the past, the peo- cooperative store, open up in their midst

DENIES APPLICATION BY
 GRoTCN SHiPYARD RECEIVERS

E Frederick Conlin and P. Leroy Har- wood of New London. receivers of the Groton Iron works. have been denied the application they made in the su- perior court for an order to enjoin the taking and sale of certain properties of the com pany on execution and en- Joining further proceedings in certain attachment actions.

A dozen creditors have secured Judgments against this property in claims aggregating S102,- 0O0.c
 The applica ton made by the re- ceivers for a stay of execution was argued before Judge James H. Reed in the superior court here. Judge Reed handed down his decision Friday. In his memora nduna of decision he says, in part:
 I do not think that sufficient grounds have yet been presented that injunction order restraining these Judgment creditors from proceeding with the levying of their execution. Certainly, in my opinion, their rights should not be imperiled or their en- forcement indefinitely postponed. un- less they can be indemnified in some manner, either by a bond or in some other way. against all loss or damage they might sustain. by having their right to proceed with the levyfng of their executions indefinitely post pened. Such security it appears 1t is fmpracticable. if not impossible, for the receivers to furnish I am com pelled to deny this application. but without prejudice. however. to the re- ceivers, to hereafter sue for an in junction to restrain the impending execution sales and these judgment creditors from proceeding with the Fevyfng of these executions upon any sufficient ground they may be able to present in support of such application

 After crashing into the section car the freight was stopped as quickly as possible and Liegere, the injured man. and Minto's body was put aboard the big locomotive, which was detached from its train and headed at high speed for Moosup.
 For reasons that were not clear on Friday. the locomotive did not slow down to take the siding east of the Moosup station, but came on and crashed head-on into the. locomotive of the milk train. which had slowed down to about ten miles an hour to make the Moosup station stop.

Somebody conceived the idea having the 1919 Santa Claus shave off his beard.
 It's a perfectly bum idea, of course, but it gathered a lot of advocates, mostly barbers, sellers of razors, and mattress makers.
 For years and years Santa Claus has been coming to good little boys and girls, and always he wore those long white whiskers. Sometimes the candles set his beard on fire, and sometimes the beard got caught on a snag and was pulled off But it never remained long from Santa's face.
 Santa Clans beardless Is like an ele- phant minus his trunk, or breakfast cakes without syrup. Not to be thought of. But, as we remarked, the barbers ct al, favor the idea. They'd cut ofS dear old Santas whiskers because some doctors say whiskers are unsan- itary, and the fire department says they're insanitary. l This newspaper votes against pull l ing off Santa's beard. We say, ''let l him wear whiskers." And if you take a good look at the picture above youl 1 say so too.
 A beardless Santa Claus? Not in { million years!

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Women are to grow less beautiful year by year The growth of mental ability in the female of the species is fatal to beauty according to Dr. Carleton Simon, New York physician.
 AS civilization progresses women grow uglier," said Dr. Simon. "The women of today are not so beautiful in form or feature as their sisters of centuries ago. It is a scientific fact that with the growth of the intellect beauty vanishes."
 Actress Says "No"
 "Nonsensei Women are not to be- come less beautiful because of increaS- ing intellectuality."
 This is the emphatic denial made ty Catherine Cozzens, one of the most beautiful women on the stage n New York Her dreamy beauty in ""r L1rt in ''The Crimson Alibi' has fascinated hundreds of audiences this season.
 Women are beautiful Jecl lse inc evolutionary process has made ;t in- evitable," continued Miss Cozzens "The race today is what the ideals of the forefathers and mothers of the race have made it. Men select mate
