CONN. NATIONAL GUARD IS TO BE FEDERALIZED

Within a short time, possibly three or four weeks, every unit Author:E red py the war department for the new Uohnecticut National guard will have been organized and offered for Liberalization. This was the opinion of Adjutant Genera al George M. Cole Friday and was based on reports concerning active recruiting being con- ducted. throuhgout the state.
 Under the recently revised plan of the war department, Connecticut,'is now as signed maximum of 1851 officers and
 men men, to be included in a regiment of motorized coast artillery, with six bat teries, headquarters company and a service unit, one battalion of infantry and two troops of cavalry. N An interesting situation that has de- yeloped is the fact that while the order providing for field artillery in Connects cuts allotment of national guard forces 1 is omitted from the revised order, the Branford battery had already been or 1 ganized and accepted by regular army officers attached to the First corps area headquarters at Boston. so that soon this state will have more units than the wal l department scheme at present calls for.

MAY REFUSE DIvoRCEs
 FOR CONSTRUCTIVE DISSIPATION

Judge Maltbie of the superior court is not satisfied with the presentation of di- vorce cases on grounds of constructive desertion and said in court at Hartford Friday that he was not sure but that in the next court year he should refuse to grand decrees on constructive desertion. which he did not find provided for in the Connecticut law.
 The judge has always hesitated about granting decrees to peLple which claim ground of desertion when they them selves were the ones who left the other parties. Judge Maltbie says most of these cases are presented oil the claim of desertion when the real ground proven is more in the nature of ihtolerable cruelty.

Chapman said when he awoke he did not know whether the house was afire or whether 1t was the heav- enly voices singing. But at last he made up his mind that 1t was only the sound of earthly voices. The crowd was invited in. There were re- treatments served, after which there were music, games and social time, and as each guest left for home, con- graduated him on his active 80 years. MT. Chapman is the Wye postmaster, and is more active than some men at 40. Everyone voted good time, and wished him many more birthdays.

From the Hollands we went back to the Mabelvale fair, where we re- mained until the middle of the after noon and then on to Little Rock. It was after 4 o'clock when we got out of town, but 1 parted company with Mir. Nelson at Cross Roads and went afoot to Capt. W. L. Herrick's, where I spent the night. Their two oldest children were sick with malaria, but nevertheless 1 was hospitably enter tained. If l had not had so much luggage to carry l might have gone on home, but 1 was too tired to go further.
 The Monday night before, which was the day before 1 started for the Mabelvale fair, I went to the post office and did not get started for home until about sundown. As l ap- preached my woods from the north west 1 could hear a lady scream every once in a while as she approached from the southeast. Apparently she was in distress. As possibly the sole cause of her distress might have been due to her inability to get an early supper, and just because she might have made her supper off of me had she met me, l was glad when I got home without her seeing me. With such creatures roaming around in my woods an old bachelor has to be careful.
