 TO KEEP OUT OF POLITICS

The state department of the American Legion. has issued the following waning in regard to mixing politics with the business of the organizetien
 Tt has come 10 the attention of these headquarters that some posts are using the influence of the legion to obta'n postmasterships and other political ap- pointments for members. This is con- trary to section 2, article :. of the ra- tional constitution. For your informa- tion there is no attempt to curtail the effects of Legionnaires as individuals, but activities tending to involve the le- zion in making preferment Is contrary to our constitution. If the individual members Of a post desire the appo:nt- ment of a esptaja Pefeen as' postma ster it would be perfectly fitting and proper for them as individuals to wire theil senator regarding the apointment of said person.

FRANK GARDNER HALE ExPERT IN THE JEWELLERS RARE CRAF1


 Of interest locally is the successful career of Frank Gardner Hale of Bos- ton, formerly of Norwich Town. MT Hale, who is dean of the Jewellers guild of Boston and master craftsman of the Arts and Crafts society, was expected to return to Massachusetts Tuesday follow ing nearly months stay in the west,
 MT. Hale left Boston March seth for Chicago, where be remained one week from there he went to Omaha for weeks stay thence to Kansas City, where he spent the third week of his journey. During his stay in these western cities MT. Hale had on display beautiful as- sertment of jewelry and precious stones also gave very interesting talks along the lines of his chosen profession. While in Omaha he lectured at the pub lie library under the auspices of the So- ciety of Fine Arts. The display included S5 pieces of his own handicraft-ex- quisite emerald. ruby and sapphire set tings. MT. Hale places at the head of the group of precious stones, beyond all question, the ruby; when a perfect ruby of the right weight or 10 or more caFats enters the market, it has three times the value of diamond of the same weight he says. The fact that diamond holds i second in place is the occasion of sur
 
 simple test which was most interesting l in order to help the amateur distinguish a diamond. Scratching glass is not 2 | good test, he said. as some pastes vii cut glass An unset diamond loses bril- l liancy when placed in water but continue: to flash With uAdiminished brightness There is a saying, tyeu cannot wet g diamond" tiny drep of water on fent of the facets remains rollea up in a bal and does not spread over the surface a. it does on glass. Mir. Hale also explained the various processes that precious stone. are put through in varied and charrnins 1 color effects. It has been said of MT Hales jewels that .fto look at them is t, woman most tantalizing joy, they ar, so exquisite"
 MT. Hale was one of several hsno guests entertained at luncheon at tn Fontenelle by the Omaha Society of Fin Arts. He was also special guest at ; sinner party of eight at the home of MT and Mrs. Willard Hosford befcrs return
 Mir. Hale is the son of Assessor an, Mrs. AIhie L. Hale of Lath.op avenue Norwich Town. For 2 number of year he has been located in Boston. He i considered one of the most aecomplishe craftsmen in this Country, having studio unner Ihe Guild of Handicrafters of Chin ping Campden, also with Frederick Pay l'tridge in London, England. MT Hale wa graduated from Norwich Art school abeu b years ago, having received a scholar ship to the Boston Museum of Fine Art, where he took a special course.

EXPECT AMENDMENT TO STATES LOOSE BIGAMY LAW

. As a result of the now celebrated case Of Herbert T. Andrews New York brok CT, who was discovered living with two wives, one of whom he married in this state last January, it is expected that Senator Alexander Delaney of Bridge port, senate leader and chairman of the committee on the judiciary, will intro duee bill in the legislature which will wipe out that feature of the Connecticut law upon which Andrews is depending for his defense in his forthcoming trial for bigamy
 The present statute states that 'Every person who shall marry another, if either be then lawfully married, and shall live with each other as husband and wife or shall so marry in any other state or country in violation of the laws thereof and shall knowingly cehabit and live with such other in this state as husband and wife, shall be imprisoned not more than five years. Any person violating the provisions of this section may be tried for such offense either in the coun ty where the marriage took place or ir the county where they have SC lived to gether as husband and wife"
 Not only Andrews but New Jerse, lawyer named Lane have sought to es cape punishment in this state by claim ing that, though they were married to second woman here, they did not iiyi with each other as husband and wife
 within the borders of this state ant hence could not be punished under tn Connecticut statute.
 It is probable that the bill to be fin troduced by Senator Delaney will elim
 mate the clause in the present statut
 alluding to Niying together as husban
 and wife within fhe state and thus mak
 the new law applicable to eases such 3
 those of Lane and Andrews. The bi may come before the committee on tn
 judiciary this week and seems sure of r favorable report and prompt passa g through the gSneral assembly.
