BAY STATE REMARRIAGE BAN
 IS NOT BINDING HERE

On the ground that any time limit which Massachusetts courts may fix as to when divorced persons may remarry in that state, does not prevent such per sons from remarrying in Connecticut be- fore the time limit has expired. Corpo- ration Counsel Robert P. Butler has ad- vised the brreaus of vital statistics that it can legally issue marriage licenses to such persons. It very rarely happens that persons from Massachusetts who ap- ply here for a marriage license admit that, if divorced, there is a court order against their renaarrying within a speci- fled period, but recsntfy such a case came up and local officials asked the corporation counsel if license could be issued under such conditions they do so at their. own hazard should prosecution be brought against them for having vio- lated a Massachusetts court order.

HOME SERVICE WORK IS
 OBLIGATION OF RED

 Last year the executive committee of the Norwich Red Cross tried the exper- iment of employing d full time paid ! executive secretary, q trained worker | Miss Edith Rockwell organized and iS- | rected most successful campaign, with | a pageant and house-to-house canvass | carried on the home service work, re- vived the Junior Red Cross. organized classes in home care of the sick in the auXiliaries as well as in the city, and did the general secretarial work of the chapter.
 In March a policy of retrenchmeutI was adopted and the general office was closed. Arrangements were made with the family welfare department of the United Workers to administer the home service work. still financed and direct ed by the Red Cross. In the hands of Miss Edith Moran, this vital obligation of the Red Cross to the ex-soldier is be- ing met with admirable efficiency Home service work would show a | steady decrease but for the fact that two state institutions are within our 1 territory. In the state hospital for the | insane and the state sanatorium there are fifty ex-service men from different | parts of Connecticut who are paying 1 the toll of war in shell-shock and tu- i berculoSis. Home service offices all over | the state keep in touch with these men l through the Norwich chapter and our l obligations to them is one that cannot be denied and must not be forgotten.

MAKE BEST START IN

 TWELFTH LAYING CONTEST

TWELFTH LAYING CONTEST
 The twelfth Storrs laying contest started off promptly on Nov. 1st with 100 pens of 10 birds each, total of 1000 choice outlets espeically groomed for the annual egg race. These selected we'll matured birds are the cream of the foclzs they represent The prime consideration in each case has been to pick bullets that the owner believes would lay the most eggs in year. There is wider geo graphical distribution of the birds than in some of the earlier contests. Of the 1000 bullets participating, 300 are owned by Connecticut breeders; Massachusetts supplied the next highest number. total of 1S0 birds; New York and New Jersey tied for third place with 110 birds each i; Vermont and Rhode Island have each sent 50; Maine and Michigan each con trfbuted 30; Pennsylvania and New Hampshire have 20 each, and the remain ing 110 come from Delaware, Maryland, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, California, Washington, Ontario and England.
 These birds got away to the best start ever made in any laying contest in Storrs. They came across with 1,109 eggs and thus set a new high mark for first weeks performance. This looks as if the birds were better bred and better trained for the job they nave to do than some or their predecessors have been. Obed G. Knights pen of White Wyandottes got away to the best start with mark of 46 eggs for the first week Jacob E. Jan- sens pen of Rhode Island Reds from North Haven, Conn. was second best pen with a score of 42 eggs. Another pen of Rhode Island Reds entered by E. Newton Searles from Pomfret Center, Conn, was a close third with yield of 41 eggs. Three pens of Leghorns entered by Mrs. J. l.. Theusen from New Haven, Conn, Roy H. Waite of College Park, Md, and W. E. Atkinson from Wallingford, Conn, all tied for fourth place with S8 eggs each. The average production for all pens was approximately Is per cent The management of the contest is entirely satisfied with the splendid start that has been made. In another week 1t believes that the birds will be thoroughly accus- toned to the plan of having o'clock evening lunch by electric lights This scheme ought to mean more winter eggs less moulting in the mature birds and quicker development of those unfortu- nate enough to be matched a little late.
 The four leading pens in each of the principal breeds are as follows:

tries to exact blackmail from everybody
who knows OF the fraud. His scheme
comes to nothing when Cristilindd
knocks him down and robs him of the
receipt which reveals the true subject
OF the picture. Without the receipt the
blaclSmailer Is helpless and the play ends
with Cristilindu and her friends gazing
at the picture which will continue to be
worshlpped.
The play appears to he a pleasant
enough mixture OF comedy and pathos.
but the speeches are trifla long and
scattered over four acts the lines some
times seem to draw out the performance

The New TarLington Play.

There was comfort in the air and
sense of we'll being everywhere at the
Empire last evening, for at that
memory crowded theater where there
have been so many merry Christ
masses a new play by Booth Tarking-
ton was produced-a new comedy that
is wise and gentle and buoyant and
gay 1t is called Rose Briar"--the
piece he wrote for Billie Burke Once
before she had appeared in a play of
his, but it was one that he had writ
ten for Maude Adams and though
some rare materials had gone into the
making of it one could always sniff
and say that it looked as though it
had been made for some one else. 1t
had been. And one did.
This new piece is a more adroitly
fashioned play, all a-twinkle with Mr..
Tarkington's notions about life. and
not showing until the third act any
OF the fatigue Of keeping the ball al
ways in the air. Toward the en1 it
grows a little effortful and out of
breath. but we found it mostly de-
lightful and place it next to "Clar-
ence' in the list Of his plays.
1t is the tale of poor Mr.. Valentine,
who had been in what sounded to us
like the encaustic tile business, but
whose wealthy wife persuaded him TO
give 1t up and hang around her. This
was rather a life work, for she kept
going to Europe good deal, had a
large unrestful place on the Hudson
which she was forever having redec-
