Near the very tip Of Mount Beacon,

small white flower known to bot.

three-toothed cinquefoil. Its history
is as long as its name, and goes back
hundreds Of thousands of years. "a
that remote period Of the world tho
glaciers came creeping down from t4A
north, burying under snow and it4
all the country north Of Long Island
and central New Jersey. The ct4:
quefoil came with 1t, for the cinquefol
is a hardy little chap, and loves the
bitter weather as much as the famil-
lar snow blossoms.
When the glacier took up the great
retreat few flowers and a few birds
and beasts were left stranded in 4
climate that slowly but surely warmed
until the summers were almost tropi-
cal in their heat, and, not being de.
signed for such torrid days, the spe.
cies slowly died out, first the flowers,
then the beasts and lastly the birds.
until now there are many varieties
that have been destroyed The cinque

true to type, and is now found in plen-

strawberry plant both in blossom and

In the superior Class.

It takes more than a name to put
things In the superior class. Some
names are at to conjure with. Men
are willing to stake their all on what
the men who own the name say. Other
fellows with the same name are sub
ject to ridicule. Names refer to IN
dividuals, but individuals must put
personality into what the name stands
for If they are to be badges Of merit.
Plus signs always mean more. It's not
enough to be a son Of your father In
name. You must be a son in deeds II
you are to be worthy of him. Leaners
never create Plus on the things they
do. They are too content to pass mus
ter. They must learn to add worth
to the maine If they are to belong to
the Standard Plus claSs.-Grit.

MAY BE
 ASKED TO AID ENFORCEMENT l
Redgate Expects to Get Re. quest to Cooperate With
 Federal Officers.

Although Bridgeport police have so far taken no hand in the enforce ment of the federal prohibition amendment, it is likely that they will be called upon to do so in the near future. The dry law will be en- forced in Connecticut through the Internal Revenue offices in New York. James Shevlin, supervising federal prohibition agent, will be in charge of the district.
 The police of New York city have been called upon by the federal agents to assist in enforcing the pro- hibition amendment, and it is consid- cred very probable that the Bridge port police will be included in similar general orders which will be issued from Shevlin's New York office.
 Superintendent of Police John H Redgate stated this morning that ;1e has received no orders as yet relative to raIice cooperation with the gov ernment officials, but expects to re- ceive notice at any time. When the looked.for orders arrive, the local police will comply with them and as- sist the federal agents in their task of running down illicit liquor sellers and other persons who attempt te violate the prohibition amendment.

William H. Benzel, president of the East India Tea Company, was exam tned before Referee John T. Keogh at the bankruptcy court today in refer ence to the property of the bankrupt estate. The examination was con- fucted }; Attorney Joseph Shapiro and most of the session was occupied with detailintg the former proceedings that were taken in the affairs of the Tea company and in describing the activities of Samuel Bernstein. a for mer employe who was adjudicated a bankrupt last November while en- broke street
 time that Bernstein went into bank ruptcy, Solomon Badesch had been attorney for the Tea company and
 that just before the Tea company went into bankruptcy. Attorney Badesch bought a baby carriage worth s51 wholesale, and a higE
 chair, from the company for whicE Badesch has not paid. Bernstein while employed by the Tea Company
 was married and purchased S1,00(
 worth of furniture on which he paid
 about S45O. Benzel said that short
 ly before Bernstein went into bank
 ruptcy he informed Benzel that h.
 was going to take the furniture tt
 New York and when Benze1 went tt look for the lease which Bernstein
 had signed for the furniture, he could not find it. He has not been ab1' to ascertain since what became of tn lease but he believes that Bernstein distracted it from the papers. in tn | offices of the Tea company.
