HUMANE AGENT INVESTIGATES
 CASE OF DEsTITUTIoN

Arthur T. Young of Hartford, general agent of the Connecticut Humane socie- ty, is passing this week in Norwich, New London and vicinity. examining cases in the interests of this society. some of which have been serious enough to war rant prosecution. When leaving head quarters Monday morning Agent Young had 19 cases on file to dispose of in this part of the state, most of them in the two cities mentioned One of the cases recently brought to the attention of this society was that of a Norwich family residing not far from the center of the city. In visiting this so-called home Agent Young found most depiorable con- ditions. There was little food in the house, which indicated Serious destitu- tion- The furnishings consisted of a stove, table, one chair and two beds. the last mentioned being very filthy. From all reports this condition of affairs has been one of long standing neglect The parents were married in 1911 and there are four children. the oldest one living with the grandmother on the fathers side. For the future welfare of these little children in all probability the cage will come to trial in the police court and thereby rectify the situation.

CANNOT RETURN TO BE
 SHELTERING ARMS MATRON

Mrs. Olive W. Ellis of Brockton, Mass, is unable to return as matron at the Sheltering Arms. as she had expected to do, April 1st. Word received in this city Tuesday stated that she was compelled to cancel her appointment owing to quite unexpected changes concerning her per sonal affairs. Mrs. Ellis retired from this institution and left Tor Brockton the first of July, 1920, after three and one half years of efficient service, resignlng to make a home for her mother, Mrs. Lucy A. Wilbur and the latters sister, Mrs. Mary W. Sears. It was her inten- ton, had she returned to Norwich, not to break up her home in Brockton. A com fortable boarding place in a private fam fly had been secured for Mrs. Wilbur and Mrs. Sears until the closing of school in June, when Mrs. Ellis sister, Miss Will bur, was to open up the home again. The fact that there has been a recent death 1 in the family where the two elderly wo-
 men were to resde has completely upset | all. plans for the present.
 It is regretted by many that Mrs FL
 lis is not to take up her residence in Norwich again, as her return to the
 Sheltering Arms was looked forward to
 with much anticipation by those most | interested in the welfare of this home. Il
 also has been stated that she, too, was
 more than disappointed not to be able tC
 carry out her Intentions.
