'That Letter Doesn't Do
 Me .IuStice''

How often you have felt that, after reading over one of your dictated let ters. You knew it would reflect credit on neither you nor your firm. ut you signed it. and let it go. You hadn't time to rewrite it; perhaps you couldn't quite satisfy yourself as to what was the matter with it.
 A KNOWLEDGE of the basic prin- ciples of Business Building English would have enabled you to put your finger on the fault you knew was there.
 A TRAINING in those principles will enable you, day in and day out, to write the kind of letters you want to write; letters each of which will be @ profit producer for your firm and a rung on the ladder of advancement for yourself.
 YOU CAN GET that knowledge and treining this fall here in New Britain, by giving to it a few hours of your spare time each week and paying a very moderate fee.
 THE PLAN for conducting the class now being formed com pines the ad- vantages of individual criticism of your own letters with classroom con- ferences and instruction. In conduct luS LiiS COul lSS we snail nave the CO., operation of the Business Training Corporation of New York city whose methods have been thoroughly tested and endorsed by hundreds of promi- nent firms throughout the country. The Director of the Course in Bus mess English is George Burton Hotch- kiss, Head of the Department of Bus mess English in New York Univer- sity. Other well-known specialists will deliver the lectures and have charge of the round table discussions The class sessions will be held on Tuesday evening of each week dur ing the twelve weeks of the Course. It is safe to say that a more favor able opportunity for advanced and intensive training in modern business correspondence will never be offered in this city.
 COME IN, if convenient, and talk with L. w. Bruemmer about the course. Or we shall be glad to mail you descriptive booklets on request. Take action at once, as the class is limited in size.

COMPANY M ID
 HAVE B|G YEAR
To Have Extensive Social and
 Athletic Program During Winter

Company M, State Guard, held is weekly drill at the State Armory on Arch street, Thursday evening, and began drilling under a new schedule formulated by Lieutenant w. l.. Will Hams. Under the new system, the private is given more individual in struction so that he obtains a more comprehensive knowledge of military tactics The drills now are, for che most part riot drills, special atten- ton being given to the squad wedge and sllirmishing. The new arrange ment of drilling is becoming very pop ular with the men, as was testified to by the interest of the men last evening. The attendance of the com- pany, is running good and new re- cruits are coming in constantly. Dur ing the drill last evening, Major R. K. LinsIey, of the Third Battalion of the First Regiment paid the company an unexpected visit and was cordially received. Major Linsley was very favorably impressed by the company's appearance.
 The company is planning an exten- sive social program for the coming winter and expects to hold a Ladies Night" in the near future to which the wives and friends of the company will be invited. An entertainment and dance will be. part of the eve- ning's program. It is probable that the company will hold number of dances during the winter.
 The members of the company erected the backstops for the basket ball team which is being organized to play about the state during the winter. The old wire backstops, which have bothered in previous years, will be replaced by wooden backstops, making the entire equip ment at the armory the best in the city. The floor will be marked off as a regulation floor and games will be started in the near future.
 Target practice will be started soon, as the range has been made ready for winter practice. It is pro bable that the company will par ticipate in the state shoots during the winter, as there are a number of crack shots in the company. Some of the eX-serVice men who are eX- pert rifemen are applying and there is no doubt but what the company will be recruited to it's full strength in the near future. now that the boys have all returned from overseas.

 as unfinished business, If the sen ate refused to reconsider the matter, the contention was that the question of ratification by Connecticut was ended.
 The supporters of ratification after protesting against the effort to re consider, on the ground that 1t was not a necessary procedure, attempted to table Senator Brooks motion to re- consider but lost to 20. The mo- ton to reconsider in hope that 1t would not prevail was carried without a division,
 The matter now goes to the House. Tts future still remains @ matter of tious1t in the opinion of some Iegisla- tors, It was Speaker Healy who ruled that if the House refused recon sidera1ton of e. measure that matten could not again come before it. Ap- piled to the action Of the Senate in this ease the House could not send back the ratification resolution in non-concurTenOe, But on this point opinions differed,
 Some legislators claimed the House, if 1t adopted the ratification reSolu- ton would return it to the Senate and the decision as to receipt would rest with t1le presiding officer, probably lieutenant Governor Wilson. If he ruled that the resolution was again before the Senate there could be an appeal from his dechsion.
 The present condition Is one of par hamentary law only as Connecticut wi7I not retify the amendment at this saszion. It was known at the capitol that several lawyers had examined the action of the Senate of yesterday to determine if non-ratffScation now wUuld stop Introduction of the matter in 1921 or following sessions, Sup Gporters of tne amendment claim that the matter is Of an extraordinary na- ture and thtt 1t can foe brought up at any dIne within seven years and that it can be introduced on the volition ' of any member.
