 In another way, Christmas club
 are of indirect benefit to the public
 even to those who do not join. Know
 ing that they can depend on the club
 to some extent, merchants are more
 apt to increase their stocks so tha
 shoppers have a larger variety from
 which to select and can, therefore
 derive more pleasure from their trip
 through the stores.
 We have been fortunate, or per
 haps unfortunate enough. during tho
 past two months to attend Sunday 1 evening motion picture performances
 in all but one of the four loca
 theaters. There is nothing unusua in doing this but in each theater nnd
 on Sundays nights only, we have found certain disagreeab'e features tc
 exist.
 During the week at both matinee
 and night shows there is nothing to
 complain of; the performances are
 mt interrupted by loud. noisy and
 often times boisterous disturbances
 such as is most always the case o''
 Surday nights.
 Tn the Sabbath most theaters are
 6led to capacity. T. see,ps as though all of the younger set in town attend the movies" and especially Is this so Boring the fall and winter months when the air Is none too warm out of dcors. But on these nights when shc amusement place, arc filled with :, ct pie of all ranc5, crce1s and classes it seems as tho lyh there are several 50 :, allied gangs who hold what right be termed rallies in certain sections of the thcan' and cause dis terbing noises that are anything but pleasant for the casual attendant of tho movie to sit nni listen to.
 We do not know what the policy of inc managers of the theatcrs is in regard to policemen, who are stationed at the house to keep order, but 1t seems as though they should allow the policemen to pass through the aisles occasionally in an effort to stop the disturbances If all other methods fall. Better still would 1t be to have the young men learn the meaning of the words bride and re- spect' and discontinue their distur- bances.
 Peculiarities of nature are found on all sides, if one only kept ones eyes open. Two very striking examples of how nature, slowly but surely goes about her work, brooking little in terruption from the insignificant and puny hand of man, are found in New Britain. Probably there are many others.
 Near the intersection of Mill street and Kensington avenue years ago the department of public, works placed a street sign. The avenue at that time was known as "Kensington street" and it was so stated on the sign.
 Instead of placing the sign on an iron pole it was nailed to tree. Years passed by. The nails have rusted and no doubt had the sign been tackled onto dead wood or metal it would have rusted to pieces. But 1t was attached to the living tree and the tree has adopted it into it's bosom.
 Passersby now are attracted by a sign, upon which can be seen the first and last letters only. The other let tefs are covered by the tree trunk, which kept on growing until the sign looks now as though it had been showed clear through the trunk. And the tree grows on. undisturbed.
 On Park street not far from the Corbin factories there is barber shop Years ago the barber pole was built in the form of a tree box and placed around young sapling in front of the shop. That sapling continued to grow. It not only accumulated a larger waist line, but also it grew up from the ground. Today the tree box Is about a foot of the ground and one side is split open several inches. This tree also grows on undisturbed.
 It was. in the library of the New Britain Institute. Crowds of people were observing the exhibit of modern paintings under the auspices of the Woman's club.
 Across the hall a group of boys were seeing for the first time the re- collection of birds, small an mals, beautiful stones, etc, in the institute museum. They stopped at he largest showcase. where minia- ,ure forest scene is reproduced, the frog in the small pool of water for while, making various as to whether or not it vas real live fs9g, etc. They passed ,n to the birds, the stones, the rab- ,its, squirrels, foxes, etc., and then truck the case of bird eggs. "Ah. int that some collection" admiring- y calculated one youngster. "Oh, See, l know where there's nest of obin eggs" replied companion.
 Huh, youse guys don't know noth- ng," said third, T know where's here's a nest O canary eggs" His tatement was not disputed.
 But there was a fourth youngster n the crowd. His complexion was what might be described, eonserva- ively as dark ebony closely re- the painting of a piece of harcoal done in coal tar and ex- libited in an unIighted room at mid light" He surveyed the curios very ~ ~nS,,yixv aslu~~I r~r~h SntaeaSA ~ tke
