There should be increment start ed Cor ste award of Ca 'negie me in' u Roo t Summers. aged 35 years, q houas naiater, who on "Wednesday morr ing, ss Jrtly before noon. made .nade eac of the most daring rescues eve. recorded in Putnam. Summers plunged into the Quinebaug river, swollen by the heavy rains, at one of it's most dangerous points and brought to safety Arthur Zotta. aged two and one-haif years, who had fallen into the stream while playing on the riv- CTS banks.
 Mrs. Michael Zotta, the boys moth CT, saw her little son playing near the river bank in the rear of the home of Nathan Levine. She ran to get him. but the child turned on seeing her and ran towards the river, losing his bal ance and falling into the stream. The child was carried out to the middle of the stream in the swift current, and the mother could only run along the rivers bank screaming for aid.
 Summers was at work painting the residence of Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Kent when he heard the woman's cries. Without a moments hesitation he ran down the steep embankment, tearing off his clothes es he went. Unfasten. ing his shoes he plunged into the stream at a point where it is five or six hundred feet wide. Swimming with great difficulty and fighting the current, he finally reached the l;ttls boy at a point just above Cargil Falls.
 He grabbed the child and turned te swim back again with even greater difficulty, but reached the shore in safety and gave the boy to his moth. CT.
 In spite of the eoldness of the wa. ter. Summers was unharmed by his experience, and after changing his clothing he reported for work as usu. al in the afternoon. The child suf. fer.d little harm from his bath tn the icv river

WEALTHY MANS SON
 WEEDS STORE CLERK
Mir. and Mrs. Henry Waitt Are
 Visiting at West Thomp-
Father of Groom Declare, Son Did
 Not Elope With Bride

Henry Waitt, son of the wealthy Boston manufacturer. maker of Black stone cigars, and his bride of only a few days, Mary C. Stappen, formerly q clerk in a Boston five and ten cent store. are spending this week in West Thompson, where they are visiting with the brides aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Bovia of Pinecrest Farm. They are having a perfectly delightful time and haven't seen any reporters for almost a week.
 A Boston paper seized on the mar riage of the heir to the Waitt fortune and Miss Stappen as an excuse for a first page story, accompanied by a picture of the bride. After their mar riage they were supposed to have come to Putnam in the Rolls-Royee car of the groom's father. But 1t Is determined that they went 'ireetly to the West Thompson farm of tke brides relatives, aABulck touring car providing the means of conveyance.
 Couple Did Not Elope
 The elder Mr. WGitt denies that his son and his bride eloped. As a mat ter of fact" the father is quoted as saying, "Henry was married not only with my consent. but through my assistance. helped secure the five day marriage waiver for them, and took them to tae ..ewton town (. TX by whom they were married. She Is a fine little girl a she tod me she was willing to go to wofA herself, il necessary. She understands and Hen rv understands that 1 am not to sup port them.

 sThe sto es that the boy eloped with Miss Stappen are all bosh. He had known her and kept company with her more or less ever since their high school lays in Newton.

 This action followed talk given before the club by Dr. F. F.

Kennilye Predicts Manhasset
 Plants Centralized In Putnam
TREASURER OF COMPANY TELLS CHAMBER OF COM MERGE OF DIFFICULTIES AND ASPIRATIONS
 OF CITYS BIGGEST INDUSTRY
Merchants Dine end Listen to Addresses-Representatve
 Gathering a Putnam Inn

That in time the entire interests of .hs Nanhasset Manufacturing Com ranv may be centered in Putnam, was ,bs message that Treasurer William Vsrmilve of that company brought to inc annual banquet of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce on Monday evening. Mir. Vermilye was one of three interesting speakers at the hanauet. one of the most important and successful ever held since the Chamber became working part of Putnam business and civic life.
 Resides Mir. Nermilye, the members heard an interesting address from Richard B. Watrous, executive officer of the Providence Chamber of Com merce. Albert F. Ralston. secretary af the Putnam Chamber, reviewed the sceomplishments of the organization since it's beginning some years ago, and President A. Newton Vaughn, who acted as toastmaster, pointed out the clements in the Chamber which made it powerful organ for work in and for the city. The guest of honor of the evening was Mayor Victor Chapdelaine.
 Mir. Vermilye's talk and his visit to pu.aam were especially appreciated in view of the fact that the evening afforded an excellent opportunity for prartically all of Putnam's business men to hear the executive officer of the e.ty's largest industry describe the progress and the difficulties of his company.
 His address was as follows:
 aMr. Mayor, MT. President and Mem
 here of the Putnam Chamber of
 Commerce:
 T had not expected when l came here this evening that 1 would be asked to speak to you, but it gives me great pleasure to say few. words. as this IS the first opportunity l have had since 1 took over the management of the Manhasset Manufacturing Com pany. little over IS months ago, to speak to so many of you together.
 No Absentee Management
 When I became associated with the Manhasset Manufacturing Com pany had never had any contact with your very delightful city. and l want to say now that all of my associations nave been pleasant ones, and l want to thank you all for the cooperation and friendly spirit which has been shown towards the management of our enterprise. l hope that the day will come. in the not very distant fu- ture, when We will be able to consol idats all of our manufacturing enter prises in your city. am not be- lever in absentee management, and l hope that when We have accomplish cd the consolidation of our manufac- turing enterprises that l will be able to live with you here in Putnam, and l hope that in so doing 1 will be able to toe of greater service to the com munity and to our mills.
 Managing the mills as we do from Providence, it is difficult for me to place in my mind any picture of what you know about our business. and

hope it may perhaps interest you to know something about us. asgssne that you all know that We have been engaged exclusively in the manufac ture of tire fabrics. This business is dependent upon the new automotive industry, and like so many things connected with this industry the de- velopment of il in the past few years has been so rapid that it has led so many people to build for a larger production than the present time de- mands.
 Condition of Ancestry
 Now this is nothing new in the cotton manufacturing industry, how ever. For many years the history of the cotton manufacture in this coun- try has been an attenuation of four lean years and fat enc, and we hope that this experience may be repeated in our case. Certainly these years

HOUSEWIVES OBJECT. WANT TIME CHANGED
Mill Workers and School Chil- dren Keep Them Cooking
 All Day
All Because of Two Kinds of Time In
 Force Here

Putnam is in about the same mud die al the present moment over the question of time as it was about a year ago. The majority of the mills are on daylight saving time. and this means that better than half the resi- dents of the city are observing this shour earlier" time. The rest of the community is working and sleeping on standard time, and in the mean time the housewife is working her fin- ger tips off cooking, serving meals. and cooking some more. Her life ap- pears to be just one meal after an- other. And chiefly on her account and some on their own behalf, work CTS in the mills are grumbling a whole lot, and, under present conditions. want to go back to standard time. If the whole city was observing daylight saving time, they say, they would have no objection, but with half the city keeping one kind of time. and the other half another kind of time, it is too much for them, and they want to turn their clocks back an hour.
 Look to City Council
 Many had hoped that the city eoun- eil would take definite action on the matter at the monthly meeting on Tuesday night. Anticipating that a vote would be taken recommending to the people of the city the adoption of a uniform time, upwards of 40 mill workers assembled in the council chamber
 In view of the fact that a bill was pending in the state legislature. which if passed, would cause heavy fines to be imposed on anyone displaying clocks in public showing anything but standard time. the council decided that it would be best to wait a week to see if this bill was enacted into law If it is there will be nothing for people to do but observe standard time. Any action on the question locally would be needless. There was sentiment among the aldermen that definite action should be taken, and for this reason Mayor Chapdelaine had to call twice for vote on the mo- ton to table the question. as the first vote was not clear The vote the sec ord time found six favorable to put ting of action for week, and two opposed.
 Mill Workers File Petition
 The council received petition, signed by several hundred people. re- questing action on the standard time question.
 1t Is announced that on Monday the Beachmont Worsted Co.,, formerly the French River Textile Company al Mechanicsville, will start operating on a daylight saving time schedule, with the clocks turned ahead an hour
 The State Trade school in this city adopted daylight saving time Tuesday, as it was found very ineonvenient for students from out of town who arrive early and must wait until school opens
 It seemed probable today that mills and others will take no further action on the question until next Tuesday night, when the city council will have the opportunity of clearing the air" !"
