'D. AR. ID PUBLISH
 NEW N. B. HISTORY
Excerpts Read by Mrs. Tryon, of \. Y, at Home Of Mrs. Brooks

Excerpts from the proposed his- tory of New Britain. based principally
 upon the work of Mortimer Warren,
 now residing in Collinsyille, which is to be published under the authority of the Daughters of the American Revolution of New Britain, were read Saturday afternoon at the home of
 Mrs. w. F. Brooks by Mrs. w. F. Tryon, of New York, who is editing the work and amplifying it by the latest authorities and newly-found facts which confirm or develop refer thoritatiye history.
 Mrs. Tryon spent 40 years Of her life in New Britain, moving to New York city comparatively recently, re- taining her intense interest in the history of this city and having gained the prospective which broadcns the editors viewpoint, according to state ments made by the guests of Mrs. Brooks who were present Saturday and who promised their aid in de reIoping the work along lines with which many were especially familiar.
 Mir. Warren Complinented.
 Approval of the plan of the D. X. R. to issue this history, to the end that 1t might make a valuable addi- ton to the library and the schools and a work of peculiar interest to members of the organization, was given freely. Many compliments for Mir. Warren were heard. not the least of which were those paid him by Mrs. Tryon who emphasized the charm of the writer's style and its harmonizing with the spirit of the days which it so accurately described. The D. X. R. has pur- chased the history from its author. although his work in it's original form has been published, feeling that his labors should not be lost to the pres ent or coming generations. This was the expression of representatives of the organization which will be re- sponsible for the new history.
 The portions Of the history describ- ing the pilgrimage from Plymouth to Farming Town. now Farmington, by a few hardy spirits: the expeditions and finally the settlement of. the Great Swamp. later Kensington and New Britain, together with the description and placing of the old roads and homes. was of particular interest to Mrs. Try2n's audience. many Of whom are familiar with the individual history Of the old homes. Another feature of tho history has- ing a great value today, was the ref srences made to the old-time black smiths. or smiths" considered to be | leaders in the community. In these blacksmith shops came the begin | nings of tho great manufacturing | plans of this day. and in them were made sll sorts Of sr'teles now turned put In huge quantities by our manu- plants.

 Ainley rose abruptly to his feet. IL was very clear to the girl that the in- formation she had given him had astonished him. His manner be- trayed perturbation as hc replied in short. icrky sentences: You amaze me. What yon say is-most aston- ishing. Are you sure? You hate not dreamed this by any chance9"
 "IF have" answered Helen. 'an. other shared my dream. For when heard the shots I thought that Mir. Staue had fired them: if was the half breed who told me that I was mis- taken. and that the shots had been fired by some one in the forest"

 < Surprise for Aiulcy
 Without preamble Helen began the narrative of all that had befallen her from the time she had left her uncle's camp to inspect the beaver colony. When she gave the account Of Stane's accident at the deadfall and of the camp she had made there, Ainley broke out in chaErin That eK- plains how it u'as we never found you.

 You were once within quarter of mile of me-

 Ainley rose suddenly 10 his feet.
 "Out acauaintsnces would say" he began, with 8 note or bitter malice in his voice, but Helen interrupted him,
 "I wonder what our acquantanees would say if they knew everything about tho crime for which Hubert Stane became a convict""
 You believe some lying tale of Stans's?" said Ainley. tn s sneering attempt to cover up his own disCom- fture.

THE GOOD OLD TIMES

MANY of the old timers are con-
v;nced that these are extremely ue-
generate days, and things were mucn
better in their youth. People nave
the idea that in the older days OF
this country, when life was relative
w simple and many modern avenues
for dissipation and fraud did not
exist, people lived purer and health-
Ter lives. =,
Rut records of conditions prevail
ing a hundred years or SO ago III
this country suggest that there was
on enormouse amount of fraud An
unsound banking system was one
thing that made a Tot of opportuni-
ties for sharp practice. A vast tribe
of swindlers were operating all over
the country getting the money Oh
honest people away from them
Judging from the accounts of those
times conditions were far worse than
they have been of late.
In these times there are plenty oil
frauds. and a lot of sharpers are
proving on the public. But the
great majority of business men I'M
derstand perfectly that it pays to
be honest. They are doing their best
to serve the public faithfully.
The public find that the honest
business man is the4rule and if the
people get taken in, it is usually be-
cause they have not exercised com
mon prudence, and have not taken
the good advice that was 50 easily
open to them in their home city II
they would only look for it.
The past is seen by many people
in kind of haze of idealism and
romance. 1t was not so easy to
steal and cheat on a big scale in
those times, since there was relative
ly so little wealth to prey upon. But
if the old timers of those days were
to come to life now, they would
think the world had advanced by
many stages in moral progress as
we'll as scientific achievement.

MONEY IN THE HAND

INHERITANCE of money being al
ways interesting, especially to thosJ
who look forward to receiving let'
acy, II Is well to note what the hanl
has to say on the subject. Signs q
the acquisition Of wealth in this man
ner are observed In various ways. FoI
example, note whether the top phalan1
of the finger of Jupiter (the fOrefn'
ger) bears on the inside, toward the
other fingers, q deep vertical line. II
the same finger has a number of short
horizontal lines crossing the bottom
phalanx, 1t is also the sign of the in
heribance Of money.
Next, inspect the rascette, or brace
let, at the wrist. If there Is we'll
marked small cross there money will
come to the fortunate pOssessOr Of the
cross, through inheritance.
OF all the signs Of the inheritance OF
money, however, the strongest is a line
running from a star on the mount OF
Venus (the ball Of the thumb) to the
middle Of the plain of Mars. the "hOl-
low" Of the hand. This indicates a
large inheritance through the death Of
a near relative.

Life Saving Work
Of Red Cross Corps
Wars on DroWr1ings

The insignia Of the American Red
Cross Life Saving Corps on the bath
ing apparel of men, women and
youths Is seen everywhere at favorite
bathing places along the coasts, riv'
ers, lakes and ponds. In Its unrelent-
ing campaign to reduce loss OF life by
drowning the Red Cross Is making
constant Roadway. The demands for
instruction from organizations in all
parts of the country were so numer'
GUS the past year that It was neces-
sary to more than double the stan OF
Red Cross instructors. This work Of
training for water ife-saving showed
an enrolment of over 10000 vOlun.
teers enlisted for duty on patrol, for
rescue and Eesuscitation, all coEape-
tent to instruct others in the standard
Water-safety methods. The Red Cross
by request of the War Department
gives water first aid training at the
United States Military and Naval
academies and in the military training
camps for reserve officers and civil
ians. The four cash prizes awarded
by the Red Cross last year for heroic,
rescues were conferred upon two girls,
a boy and man, indicating that the
youths of the country stand well at
the top in conserving life along our
water courses.

OfAction Covers
All the World

Represented by 1868 members, the
American Red Cross penetrates to
nearly every part of the world. The
insular and foreign roll call statistics
for the past year are most conclu-
sive manifestation Of the Red Gross
spirit carried into the most remote
lands. In Europe there are 4,0S8
members; in Turkey, and active In
the Constantinople Chapter, 3,545. Chi,
ma has an enrolment Of 2,252; Africa.
1856; India. 224, and Australia. 80
Even Vladivostok, in frigid Siberia
has a live chapter with 100 members.
The Philippine Islands can mobilize
5S,747> under the Red Cross banner
and Hawaii 1858. The total funds
raised through foreign and insular
membership enrolment and sent to
national headquarters In Washington
mounted to $60,216.54, while an add
tional $33,S50 was forwarded for the
endowment fund of the American Red
Cross. The high seas roll call in 1922
was an inspiring success. The Navy
signed on 1891 for the Red Cross and
the merchant ships 4,141. OF the to
tai membership outside the United
States $500 are registered with chap
ters in foreign lands, the insular pos
sessions and dependencies.
