case concrete, segun ell propio documen-
to que Sc acompafla la denuncia Y
Que es una description detallada del
referido juego, las personals puestas por
la empresa para hacer los disparos de
escopeta son cinco senoritas, expertas
tiradoras, la rueda en- que radica Ell

installation electrical, ''lenta y regular

"Patriotism led tho founder of thu

 after the Proud Bird of Our coun'
 try Naturally. the societies in whiel
 the members gathered were named
 Aeries--that is. Eagles nests. Tho
 complete organization consists oi
 subordinate aeries, or local societies
 State Aeries, having certain geogra-
 phical Jurisdiction. and q grand aerie
 which embraces the entire Order.
 "Now if you ask any member why he has joined the Eagles, ninety-nine times out of hundred he will tell you with certain approving emphasis
 For the Benefits These are the serv- ices of the Aerie physician, the sick benefit. and the funeral benefit, all of which are substantial. For the social ly inclined--and the Eagles are famous for that inclination--there Is also a year-round program of high class entertainment and wholesome have joined the Order. also because of its championship and active leader ship of the movement to establish old age pensions.
 Although membership is confined to men, the benefits and the social life of the fraternity are extended in many ways to include the wives, mothers. and children, and often the friends of members. It is the fathers, mothers. sisters, wives, children, and sweet hearts of the members, indeed, who often set the chief store by the bene- fits and the recreations afforded in membership in the F. o. F. Among the benefits most appreciated by the families is the Aerie physician, who furnishes medical attendance free to them, and who, after the death of the member, continues this service to the widow and children. The next most important benefit is the sick benefits which keeps the wolf away when the member is disabled from working through illness or accident If the member should dies. there is sub stantial funeral benefit. The fund from which these benefits are paid, by law of the order is made absolutely inalienable for any other purposes.
 "These services the Eagles render to the member and his family indi- They have further serv- ice which they render to the com They make 1t a practice to back actively any social welfare which it is seen would eventuate in benefit to society gen. erally. This broader community serv- ice in which the Eagles take keen pleasure has manifested itself to date Tn the enactment in all strong Eagle of mothers pension laws, avs providing for workingmen's com pensation for industrial disease and accident, and laws restricting child abor and establishing minimum wages and maximum hours for wom- sn and minors
 ''The crowning achievement of this order in its role as social benefactor, however, bids fair to be the early | adoption in the strong Eagle states ,f laws establishing pensions for hose who have toiled their due and | -et found themselves at 65 without | ! competence in their old age. This undertaking came about in this wise
New Britain herald., 1923-04-27

Early in 1921 subordinates and stats
 aeries began to pass resolutions in fa'
 vor of old age pensions, and in August
 1921. the grand aerie unanimously en.
 dorsed the proposition. s3o.000 was
 appropriated to defray the expenses
 of q years educative campaign to in
 form and arouse public sentiment, and
 an old age pension commission oi
 prominent members was appointed tc
 conduct the propaganda.
 This commission at once entered upon an investigation of industrial
 conditions as affecting old age. es-
 pecially the old age of the worker. II
 found that the high powered, swift moving machinery of modern factor ies not only requires keen eyesight, steady nerve, and skilled hand, but tends to impair all three, so that the working mans efficiency is destroyed at comparatively early age. It found. too. that civilized states throughout the world are wrestling with the problem how best to care for the worn out veterans of their industrial armies
 "As result of its painstaking in- vestigation the commission was con- firmed in the conclusion previously reached by the several aeries. that the old age pension is the most ef- fective, and. on the whole. the least expensive, method of caring for the disabled toilers. Accordingly, it has, by the preparation and distribution of literature and through clubs and public addresses, sought to create a public sentiment that will secure the enactment of laws providing old age pensions. This work has not reached a point where men and women of the industrial states can begin to rest assured that no poorhouse is awaiting them as the reward of what they have contributed in toll to the general prosperity, for old age pen sions are most certainly on the way. Thanks to the Eagles.
 ''The Eagles have one other pa- triotic record of which they are very proud, and which is bringing into the order many thousands of the war vet erans. They are proud of the fact that 45,oo0 of their members went into the military service of the coun- try in the world war; and of the fact that the order led the way, even for the government, in providing ade- quately for the dependents of those who should lose their lives. With in ten days after our country entered the war. the board of grand trustees of the Eagles proposed a plan. which the grand aerie enacted into law. by which a patriotic fund of one and one-half million dollars was estab- lished, out of which gratuities of $1,o0o each were to be paid to the of those Eagles who should lay down their lives as the toll of that war. At this date 1,4o0 such claims have been paid; and the fund still is functioning-as the serv- lee members die from the effects of their wounds or exposure. Several other societies followed the Eagles first example, but the order of Eagles as the only one of them today that still continues such financial aid to sx-service men and their dependents. I

EAGLES CELEBRATE
 l9TH ANNIVERSARY
New Britain Birds" Make Merry at Banquet and Vaudeville Show

More than 300 members of New Britain Aerie. No. 7o2, r. o. F.. were present at the 18th anniversary ban quet of the order held last night at the Elks' club on Washington street Colonel Herbert Choynski of Califor- mia, grand worthy president of the order, was the speaker and guest of the evening.
 Guests were present from New York, Hartford, Waterbury and stam- ford. Louis W. Fodt, chairman of the banquet committee, was toastmaster and following the banquet called upon many of the out of town guests for short addresses.
 A cabaret entertainment was fur nished by the Seeley entertainment bureau during the course of the dim ner. Barshall X Barshall of New York entertained in dancing and musical numbers, George Sutherland rendered several old time minstrel numbers. Marie Ducy sang, Miss liar per of Hartford danced and Thomas Mahoney rendered several Irish ball. | lads.
 Preceding the talk by Colonel Choynski, Edwin A. Parker presented | the guest with a carving set on behalf of the New Britain order. Among those seated at the speakers table was James Tevlin of New York, John Bohl of Stamford, Senator John Har- ter of Bridgeport. William Kelly of Naugatuck. John Mclaughlin of New Haven and Sheriff Thomas Reilly Of New Haven.
 Col. Choynsli's Address
 The speaker said in part:
 "The FNraternal Order of Eagles is now in its twenty fifth year. As it rounds out its quarter of century of healthy helpful existence, it finds it. self stronger in numbers than it has ever been in its history, stronger in its financial status, stronger in the good will of the communities which it strives to serve.
 Tt had its beginning in Seattle. Washington. in group of about a dozen men who had banded together for companionship and mutual help fulness. That little group has since be- come what is known as the Mother Aerie, numbering today approximate ly 1000 members. This human de- sire which held together the original group has become the inspiring mo- tive of the half-million men who are now members Of the Order
New Britain herald., 1923-04-27

| Annually. moreover, the Eagles commemorate Armistiee Day with m impressive ritual which attracts the entire community and keeps alive a wholesome regard for what the veterans of the World War achieved and suffered, In this also, they stand alone among American frater- nities. That the men who served appreciate the unparalleled patriotic record of this order Is indicated in the fact that it has today on its rolls more than 72.000 world war veterans. The order is forward in many other less conspicuous but not less worthy good works. Never do the aeries fail to distribute Christmas offerings and Thanksgiving bounties. Scarcely is there an aerie that does not support some charity---it may be n shoe fund for poor children, a charity ball. the baby clinic. the local branch of the Salvation Army or of the Red Cross. They can, be depended on in any community to lead and CO., operate in any worthy cause. In some of the stronger Eagle com munities the aerie home has become Q kind of civic center, and this is the goal to which every aerie aspires.
 Now. measuring the capabilities of any organization in these times. its financial condition must also be care- fully considered. The impregnnble financial strength of the Eagles was demonstrated during the influenza years of 1918-19, when sickness and funeral benefits ran into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Not one aerie defaulted or even delayed in making the payments required. This, it will be found, Is an enviable record.
 "In short. the Fraternal Order of Eagles stands forth among the first Ill the land as patriotic, community and indiVdual-serving social welfare fraternity and institution"
