 Miss Gladys ". Pettigrew, of New London, sang in a clear soprano voice, with feeling, sympathy that masterpiece, Face to Face. Miss Pettigrew's accom- paniments were played by her sister, Miss Maude Pettigrew.
 The speaker of the afternoon was W. A Towne, principal of Bulkeley High school of New London. MT. Towne, who is .an exceptionally interesting speaker at all times, took for his topic, The In- fluence of the Puritans on the Life of Today. In his opening remarks he paid tribute to MT. Bill and later in his ad- dress spoke feelingly of the influences that had prompted Mir. Bill in his gener- osity, saying that Mr. Bills motto was unto others.
 In speaking of the. Pilgrim fathers he reviewed the history of freligion from the time of Henry VIII up, to the time the Maydower left. Southampton on Aug, 16,. 1920, on thes first step of her journey to this country, He told of the hard ships that were endured by these hardy pioneers and It was their determinatlon that has; made this country what it is today. Their laws were stringent but they had the courage of their convic- tions It is their influence that has giv- en to this country her great colleges, her churches and many other influences that are of the highest. s'
 In closing MT. Tewne said that al though We fear the radical menace of the doctrines of Lenine and Trotsky, radicalisrn can never live as long as that old Puritan faith and influence remain and they will forever.

OVERWORKED MEN
Will Always Exist So Long As They
 Neglect Their Bodily Health

Mer who are in good physical con- d;tion do not feel the strain of daily work. It is those who are under nourished, and allow their blood to get into a thin, devitllized condition that are always tired and consider them selves overworked. It is not the work but the condition of body, that makes them feel so.
 There are many men here who can prove from personal experience that VinoI is just the remedy such men need. We know of many cases where it has quickly and permanently re- stored normal health with a quicken ing of energy, mainly because it en- riches the blood and makes the food they eat nourish and build up bodily health

NEW BOTTOM FOR
RAPID TRANSIT
Postponement of Fare Ques-
ton Provoked Fresh Liquida-
ton in Al Traction Shares

The utility shares. more especially
the street railway stocks. held the fore
most attention in today's local market.
The action of the Public Service Com
mission in deforriug action on the fare
adjustment question until September
gave the street another unpleasant jolt,
as well AZ did the ruling of the COM
mission in diSmiSSing the demurers filed
b. the underlying companies.
BY yesterdays action the entire tran
sit situation was made on open book.
1t was generally recognized that all pos
sibiliticS of continuance of the divi-
dcnd had been swept away. In better
informed circles. however. it had been
appreciated for some time that dividends
on stocks was only matter of memory.
Of course, everybody was disposed to
look upon the unfortunate position of
| the company in its worst light. Doubt
ing Thomas was present by lpgonS.
In fact, there was a whole lot of un-
reasonable talk, and behooves those who
! have had the temerity to hold on, to
just become deaf and dumb for little
4 while. ana then start to study the real
situation in Il calm and sensible man
nCr. There are many reasons, after all
has been said and done, for believing
that the situation from shareholders
viewpoint is lot half so bad as it is,
or will be painted.
Under the depressing conditions and
circumstances. II was naturally to be
supposed there would be a fresh out
hurst of selling when business was re-
sUmed today. The opening revealed con
siderable accumulation of selling orders,
which promptly caused the price to
drop to Il, equaling the low made Il
week ago. This brought fresh wave of
liquidation and before the decline was
checked the price had been carried TO
new low level Mt 1875. 1t was stonpcd
here by coverings OF shorts and some
of the very best kind of buying.
The stock during the decline was
hard pressed for sale while the buying
was found very limited and nearly 5000
| shares changed hands during the morn
ing including one block Of 1900 shares
at 13%. The offerings Of the under
! lying companies were much smaller
/ but they worc all weak with Union
| Traction making new low at 90 and
! Philadelphia Traction on small sales
yielded to 81 y
The whole market was weak, partly
out of sympathy with the further drop
in market values in New York and
! growing uncaSinPss manifested over the
strained credit situation. The market.

Commodity Markets
COTTON MARKET

New York. July 81. - The cotton
market opened steady, with May D
points higher and other positions to
12 points lower. Selling was promoted
by continued favorable weather in the
belt, unsettled financial conditions,
weakness at New Orleans and reports
Of frcer offerings of the spot article.
The South, led by New Orleans
houses, was seller. Wall street local
operators and the West sold. The trade
was again an active buyer of October,
one firm taking about 5000 bales at
80. 10 on the opening. This house had
been a large buyer around $3.50 late
yesterday.
Liverpool bought, and there was
scattered short covering, but demand
failed to absorb the offerings, which
carried prices off to net loss of from 3
to u points soon after the start.
Liverpool reported further calling
by Spinners.
Receipts at the ports for the day
are estimated at 5000 bales, against
S455 bales a week ago, 1870 bales a
year ago and S0l7 bales two years ago.
