 particular feature of the plan is the seating of the entire congregation within the columns, thus providing all uninter- rupted view of the altar from each seat. Between the columns and the exterior wall are ample aIsles for processional, and, terminating these two aisles at the sanctuary. end are placed the devotional chapels. These are ociagonal in form and provide greater accommodations than usual for the side aitars. They also re- serve to the main altar it's proper position as the focal point of the design. At either side of the sanctuary are located the priests and boys, sacristies. Preceding the sanctuary at either side Uf the church
 are located two exits containing also the
 staircases connecting with the basement chapel

RATIONAL GUARD AND
 STATE GUARD DIFFERENT

Hhero seems to be some misconception la .t2se minds of prospective recruits as b wAak the state guard and the national guard are, said an officer of the Third company, Coast Artillery corps, National vaARd of the United States and Connecti- EA Sunday night The officer in question s1sa eAAt he understands that several re- xuiAB who enlisted recently in the local HAks gard company enlisted under the An1Eession that they were going into the lAtiaRAl guard
 Inc national guard and the state guard gro two entirely different organizations, Ae @A- The state guard company is in- tAAExY, while the national guard is artil- lRy. The state guard uniforms differ m1tse4AI1y from the uniform of the na- tDun guard, which is the same uniform WURn by the regular army men. The AAk1SnAl guard is a paid organization, that is. the men arc paid for each drill, lwhile GAe state guard Is not a paid organiza- dA.
 At present, said the officer, there is but ga national guard company in this city, asa any man who desires to enlist in the Raaicnal guard company should apply to tse cfneers of the company at the state 4Ryaory on Mckinley avenue.
 The company Is now practically outfit ted assd new recruits are being taken care ef as fast as they enlist. The company Yreeents very creditable appearance on the drill floor and is making very rapid progress in the manual of arms and in infantry work. which has been the drill erder for the past three or four weeks.
 The company will hold it's regular driI1 thb QAonday) evening at the state arm. sfy and anyone interested in the national grA<d Is welcome to watch the boys iron LhA gallery. The company is rnakins $eAAS for another dance to be held soon.

PALESTINE PIcTUEE AND

TALK AT Y. M. c. A. MEETING
 The Sunday afternoon meeting at the Young Mems Christian association at 4 o'clock had a good sized attendance Of men who were greatly interested in two reels of moving pictures and an, ia- spiring talk by Rev. George H. Strouse upon the subject of the main picture, A Pilgrimage to Palestine.
 The meeting opened with prayer and the singing of hymns. Robert W. Otis playing the accompanimcn:s. Rev. MT. Strnuse spoke in part as follows.
 Size does not necessarily indicate strength; TOT bulk of value; nor noise power; nor activity spirituality
 These pictures give. US concrete illus tration of this truth. Palestine is a very small land-about the size of Connect cut. An express train can travel it's length in about three hours and it's breadth in an hour. history affords abundant proof that extent of territory and vast natural resources do not stand for national greatness. Egypt. Babylon and Persia stand for empires whose con- trolling passion was greed and wealth and extent of territory. But Athens Rome and Jerusalem stand for sornethihg vastly different. They suggest to us poetry, art. philosophy, science and religion f The 1 very runs or theSe nations reveal ] natchess spleudor and an inperishabIe Freatness. Athens stand for beauty !: Rome for power and Jerusalem for re ia- i ion ard G2d. Ard religi7n meets mans l deepest need and in Palestine the true re,ieion had its birth.
 1 Palestine is supremacy great because
 Jesus lived there. And yet Jesus can't ] b bottled up in Pales inc. He is the cos l mopolitan Christ a world figure Palcs- ! tine is supremely great because the 1 Christ was born there and lived thera. l Other great men came into this world hut not one stands on par with Christ. He
 is unmatched and unparalleiedy
 1 In little town in this lard Chriet was l born. The town of Bethlehem. One of history's greatest events took place there. Ire incarnation. The sea of Ga'i,ee wit messed what no other body of water ever saw. Jesus walked and taught on it's 1 banks He stilled the tempest on tts bosom. Gethsemane just outside of tie Holy City was the scene of the most
 terrific battle whic;i has ever been
 fought. If JAsus had lost that battle all would have been chaos. Bethany was
 a small town near Jerusale-n and near this town Jesrs bade his discip!es fara-
 well and ascended. There were angels
 there to. he his esc2rts bacl, to. the land of endless day and they said: He is

At meeting last week in Hartford held by Connecticut association of seal CTS iof weights and measures various matters pertaining to the inspection of weights and measures were discussed and proposed new legislation for the protec- tion of consumers were given considera- tion. It was decided to ask the legisla- ture to enact law requiring that the net weight of bread be stamped upon the wrapper about each loaf. or, if bread is sold unwrapped, upon the loaf itself.
