LEGISLATION RATIFIES
 18th AMENDMENT
House Vote for Ratification Is PIG Against
 II

The Connecticut legislature Tues day afternoon by concurrent action, ratified the 18th amendment to the federal constitution, making Connec- ticut the 37th state to ratify.
 The vote in the house on the reso- lution of ratification was:
 Yes 216; No II.
 The action of the legislature was in direct opposition to the attitude of the governor, who earlier in the day called a special session for next Tuesday to act upon suffrage ratifi- cation. Although the governor said that the legislature may not pass other legislation, the house adopted a bill to make the resources of Fitch's home at Noroton available for veterans of the world war.
 The following is the proclamation of Governor Marcus H. Holcomb, calling another special session of the Legislature for next Tuesday, which he read to the joint convention of the Senate and House of Represen- tatives:-
 Whereas when I called special session to enable means to be pro- vided for the making of women cleo tors, it appeared by the proclamation of the Secretary of State of the Uni ted States that thirty-six states which included the State of Tennes- see-had ratified the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and that it was in force, and
 Whereas it now appears that the Legislature of the State of Tennes- see subsequently, reconsidered its act ratifying said amendment and then refused to ratify it, and
 "Whereas if it shall be hereafter decided that the Legislature of Ten nessee did not ratify said amendment and that the same is not in force, and if in the meantime the November elections shall have been held and women shall have voted at said cleo tions, and it shall be decided that women in those states where women did not have full suffrage rights had voted illegally, it would throw doubt and uncertainty upon the election of the President and Vice-President of the United States and of the state officials, United States senators and congressman in several states, in cluding Connecticut, which would be disastrous to the business and in dustrial interests of the country, would add to the present unrest, and result in serious controversies and complications, all of which should be avoided if possible. The possibility if not probability of such condition creates a very serious special emer- gency which it is the duty of Con necticut to meet in the same patrio- tic spirit it has met every crisis

METROPOLITAN STAR
 COMING TO CANAAN
Miss Marie Tiffany, Famous Soprano Will Sing
 Here

Music lovers of Canaan will re- joice in the announcement that Marie Tiffany, the famous soprano, will give a concert here in the near fu- ture.
 Miss Tiffany is a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company, one of the all too few American opera singers. She joined the Metropoli- tan Company very suddenly, too. It seems that in 1916 Miss Tiffany came to New York from her home in Los Angeles. She only came to visit but while there she concluded to try her hand, or rather her voice, in opera. So she gave an informal addition for MT. Gatti-Casazza, the manager, and he was so delighted that he engaged her on the spot! She has been with the Metropolitan since that time.
 Before the World War Miss Tiff any sang in the American Church in Paris. She also made appearances in concerts at Chaigneau and at the Sulle du Foyer. Tehn she sng in opera with the Compagnie Interna- tionale Lyrigne.
 Although Miss Tiffany belongs to that "highbrow" set of singers who are real opera stars, she includes in her programs all kinds of songs, from the most classic to the ultra modern, She has a very wide reper- toire indeed. And not the least Of her interesting accomplishments is the Scandinavian Songs in which she specializes. She sings these in the original Norwegan, and she is parti- cularly partial to the works of Ed ward Greg.
 Miss Tiffany's concert will be an unexpected pleasure to her many devoted admirers in town. Admis- sion will be by invitation, and it is predicted that muse fans will be out in full force. ..

TO PROMOTE THRIFT
 IN THE SCHOOLS
Purchase of Stamps to be Made Feature of
 School Work

In connection with it's plan for greatly extending the teaching of thrift in the public, parochial and private schools all over New Eng land, the Savings Division of the First Federal Reserve District also has undertaken to advise teachers in regard to their personal finances. Miss s. Agnes Donham, associate director of the Division, and Schuy- Ter F. Heron, educational director, have prepared and will send free to teachers suggestions for budgets, varying according to the amount of income.
 A foot-note, under the budget for teachers receiving $500 year, says that this is not Giving salary" |" that the teacher must either live at home or have some other income, and therefore makes no allowance at all for shelter. The $500 budget is ''barely living salary ", allow ing but $108 a year for shelter. With shelter left out the $500 bud get shows that teacher may be able to save SIP a year and double that on the $500 budget The saving item for the 1000 budget is $36 a year, for a s1,200, $60; for $1,400, S96; for $1,600, $132; for $1,800, $168, and for the $2,000 budget, $204. All except the lowest budget have items covering War Savings Stamps to be set aside each year for an emergency fund for the teachers benefit, arranging from one for the $500 to twelve for the s2,000 tea cher.
 The Division proposes to extend the thrift work in the schools along new lines this year, and as more than $1,000,000 was put into Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps by the pupils of New England during the past school year, and as much more into savings banks, the broad ening of the movement gives great promise. During the latter part of 1918-f9 the thrift work in the schools dropped considerably, but during the past school year, the idea has been accepted quite generally that thrift is as important in peace as in war. Previously, children bought War Savings Stamps to help win the war, but now throughout New England there is an entirely different sentiment in~--rcpard to thrift, and it1s recognized as per manent feature of school work.
 In connection with its budget work, the Division also is prepared to make suggestions for sound in- vestments for teachers. The whole idea now being followed out is two fold; to help the teachers handle their own finances and to incorpor- ate thrift instruction in the schools. A revised outline for teaching thrift has been prepared this summer and now is ready for distribution. Rev. Augustus F. Hickey of the Cathedral School, in cahrge of the paroehial schools in the Boston Archdiocese has approved the outline as the basis for the instruction i1 thrift this year All of the state depart ments in New England have approv- ed of this outline, and it has been generally adopted by the local auth critics for use in the public schools of New England. Private schools also have taken up che Divisions plan. Emphasis is being laid on the Happy Jack Thrift Clubs" and the school savings societies, the for mer being used in the primary grades.
