AT VICTORY SUNDAY
Powerful Drama Is Burnt Winas,"
From WELLER Play

A pretty girl, starving with her
young artist husband in a Paris attic,
makes the greatest sacrifice there is
for a woman, when he is dying from
lack of nourishment and they are pen
niless. With the money she got--she
alone knew how-she nursed him back
to health and strength. Then came
success.
How her very heroism in giving
herself for him nearly wrecked both
their lives and caused a pitiful family
tragedy, only to glorify her in the
end. is depicted wildly in Burnt
Wings" the Universal screen adap-
ton of Bayard Veiller's famous play,
''The Primrose PATH" which comes to
the Victory Theatre on Sunday night.
The story of the play is unfolded
! simply and has a powerful appeal
without any of the sordidness that
might have crept into the picture had
its production been in less capable
hands.

KING OF AMERICAN ELK

The king of all the elk surviving ca
the North American continent is be-
leved to be the leader of herd Of
5000 animals on the Riding mountains
reserve in western Manitoba. This
magnificent specimen of dying race
was reported by woodsmen sent out
recently by the Manitoba Government
to take census of the herd. After a
closeup view of the noble beast, they
estimated the spread Of its main ant
lers at eighty inches, believed to be
the greatest in the world. With the
prongs included, they declare, the
eighty inches wanld be greatly in
creased The great bucs, according to
the woodsmen, is in his prims and ir
physical proportions stands out in the
herd like veritable monarch.
The Riding Mountain herd is one ~
the two great herds of elk left on the
continent. Protected by law and
carefully tended, it is living sleek and
fat, while the great American herd Of
80 900 animals is said to be starving
in the Jackson Hole country on the
borders of Yellowstone Park in Wy
oming
The four woodsmen sent out to take
the census of the herd watched for
days at the feeding places. Thcu
combined estimates on a strictly coz
servatiye basis placed III number Of
elk at 5000. At distance Of forty
yards, they counted as many as 1000
animals in "A single bunch.

Necessary boards. After fitting all the
timbers for the framework and col
lecting the boards and other materials
they were ready to start.
Governor Winslow appointed Viii
liam Holmes commander of the vessel
Besides the white men Nattawanut
and other Indian Sachems had come
lon board to return to their homes
from which the pequots had driven
them. They sailed to the mouth of
the Connecticut and up the river un-
til they reached the place where the
city of Hartford stands today. There
they found Dutch fort. The Dutch
traders from Manhattan Island had
heard that the English were coming
to make settlement and had built a
fort in order to get ahead of them and
thus prevent their entering the Con
necticut Valley.
When Holmes vessel was opposite
the fort the Dutch commander called
out Strike your roIors or eye win fire
upon you
Holmes replied, II have the commits
sion of the Governor of Plymouth to
go up the river and ] shah GO"
He sailed past the fort and the
Dutch did not dare to fire. He ascend
ed this river until he reached the
mouth of another about six miles
above the fort. Here he and his com
panions landed and erected their trad
ing house.
When Wouter Van Twiller, the
Dutch Governor at New Amsterdam,
heard what the English had done he
sent seventy soldiers to drive them
back. The English saw these soldiers
coming with their flags waving in the
wind.
Do you think they ran away?
No, they said, 1--WE will fight" and
when the Dutch found they could not
brighten them they turned back and
went home The English then pur-
chased the land from Nattawanut and
his Indians and were troubled no more
by the Dutch.

TO SECURE FIGURES ON TRUCK
Fire COMMITTEES Reports to Common
Council On Hook & Ladder

There was a special meeting of the
common council, Tuesday evening, at
which time the fire department COM
mittee reported on the matter Of pro-
curing motor driven hook and ladder
truck. The committee was requested
to get figures at which piece Of ap-
paratus can be bought or Of the posi-
bility or advisability Of buying used
truck.
The committee set forth much Of
the matter that has been discussed be-
fore, including the fact that no horses
are now available to draw the present
piece Of apparatus, which is therefore
useless except in the business section.
They had discussed the matter Of re-
modelling the present truck or of get
ting some kind Of tractor to draw it.,
but did not deem either practical. IL
was estimated that new piece Of APP
paratus would cost from seven to nine
Thousand dollars. Without hook and
ladder truck that can get to fires the
committee deems the situation dan
|gerous and may result in loss of life
and property unless provision is made
TO relieve it.

unpleasant memories of his military

after resuming his civilian clothes to
write to his former colonel;
Sir. After what | have suffered

much pleasure to tell you and the

In due course he got this reply:

must be entered on Army Form 2132,

HISTORY STORIES
OF CONNECTICUT
-----
For the Boys and Girls
The r irat Settlement

In the old town of Windsor, near
the place where two rivers meet, rests
! u rock. On this rock one may read an
inscription that has been chiseled
| there at the request of several patriot
! ic women who belong to society
called the Daughters of the American
| Revolution.
/ Who can guess what story could be
so important that these women would
take the trouble to have it chisheled in
stone?
If you cannot guess ] will tell you.
The inscription says, This rock
marks the first English settlement in
Connecticut by members from the Ply
mouth colony, 1888"
! How do you suppose a settlement
came to be made here at this time?
1t happened in this way
| In 1851 there was war going on
between the River Indians, who lived
! in the Connecticut Valley. and the Pc
quots, who lived in the Thames Val
! ley. The Pequohs Were stronger than
the River Indians and Pekoath, the
great sachem Of the Pequots, came
with his warriors and drove Nattawa-
nut and the other sachems OF the Riv-
Ter Indians away from their homes. 1t
/ looked as though the Pequots we're
going to drive away .ar destroy all the
River Indians.
What could they DO to save them
selvesf
They had heard that white men had
come 10 live in Massachusetts,. This
was true, for the Pilgrims had settled
Plymouth in 1920 and the Puritans
+ had made several settlements in and
around Boston before 1881. So the
River Indians decided to send Wah-
ginnacut, one of their sachems, 10 Wis
it the English settlements at Boston
and Plymouth and invite the white
people to come and live near them.
They wanted the white people to pro
tect them from their enemies.
When Wahginnacut arrived in Bos-
ton he told Governor Winthrop that
the land in the Connecticut Valley was
very fertile and produced fine crops Of
corn; that the woods and streams were
full of beavers, offers, and other ami
mails whose skins were very valuable,
and that the valley was a delightful
place in which TO settle and live. He
invited the Governor to send colony
Of white men to settle near his home
and promised that every year he and
his Indians would give these white
neighbors eighty beaver skins and all
the corn they needed. This seemed
like a very generous offer, but Cover
nor Winthrop courteously refused to
help the Indians. Wahginnacut told
the same story and made the same Of
fer to Governor Winslow of Ply
mouth. Governor Winslow made no
nrornise to the Indian Chief but he de-
cided to visit the Connecticut Valley
nd learn whether or not these Indians
spoke the truth.
He travelled through the wilderness
To the Connecticut River. The Gov
ernor was delighted with what he saw
there. The next year more white peo-
Die from Plymouth came to see this
new country. They, too, were so well
pleased that in 1888 Governor Wins
low prepared TO send men to make a
settlement.
