The committee in charge of the
petition for Miss Mary Griswold to be
appointed superintendent. of schools
through the chairman, Miss Adele
Murray expressed itself today as sat
listed with the warm support that 1t
has had in the endeavor to have Miss
Griswold appointed to the office.
Miss Murray said that as far as can
be checked up the committee has
more than 900 signatures to the petit

The personnel of the committee is
as follows: Chairman, Miss Adele
Murray, Mrs Amelia Greene, Mrs.
Florence Griffith, Mrs. Anne Luby

Mrs George DeMore, Miss Ethel
Whitney, Miss Bertha Ryan, Miss Helen

1t allowed itself to complete its work
to get the opinion of the entire voting
population of the town but If there
are any who care to register their
opinion on the matter, they may COM
municate with any members of, the
committee.
One member of the committee said
that it was no doubt very astonishing
to many of the townspeople, that an
ardent democrat was working for the
interests of an ardent republican. But
this member of the committee said |
that 1t showed that the women of the |
town were thoroughly aroused and |
that they were going to make it their !
business to see that the schools were !!
going to be improved and that as for |
as they could see there was no quick |
er or better way to do it than to ap
point Miss Griswold to the position.
1t is understood that in justice to
her superiors in Hartford, Miss
Griswold will not apply for the posi-
ton as she has signed her contract
for the coming year and that 1T would
be, in her opinion, an injustice to
them to apply for the position of SUI
perintendent while she is under con-
tract to the Hartford officials.
The committee has sent the follow
ing letter to Pardon C. Hickey of the
school board:

lzaak Walton League of America Starting Campaign for Breeding

HOW ROOSEVELT
 WON BIG DEBATE
His Sister Tells Long Forgotten
 Story

Chicago. Nov 2.-The circum- stances of the forensic victory Of Theodore Roosevelt when as a 22 year old first termer in the New York assembly he carried the day in a public debate before the aristocratic Nineteenth Century club in New York city against one of the most famous publicists of the day, were revealed last night by the former presidents sister, Mrs. Corinne Roosevelt Rob- inson.
 Speaking before the Woman's Roosevelt Republican club here Mrs. Robinson told of the attempt of a great New York editor to banter tho young Roosevelt before the assembly by engaging him in club debate against n famous publisher renowned for his argumentative bent
 Invited to select his own theme the young assemblyman launched en- thusiastically upon an exposition Of "Americanism, which he defined as "unstinted activity for the national welfare"
 Faint applause was accorded the youths arguments. and as the famous editor rose to begin his 15 minute rebuttal to Rooseveit's half hour arr gument, the laurels rested with the opposition.
 Amcricanism, the rebuttal set forth was only one of thousand "isms"-7- all Of them the creations and fads of zcalous after-dinner speakers. In- deed, Americanism was topic hard ly worthy of debate "in these circles" '"
 T watched my brother with some misgiyings as his vigorous appeal was effectively torn to shreds by the dig niiled address Of the great editor" Mrs. Robinson said. "Then in an instant, his face frightened and saw tho faint marks of a smile which later we learned to hail as the mark oi victory"
 Rising amid the cnveloping ap- niause for his opponent young Roose- welt steeled himself for his final robuttal.
 "Gentlemen." he said with winning earncstness, "my distinguished op- ponent has condemned fsms' most ably.l I am granted five minutes to reply. I shall not consume that time, ! shall not require full minute.
 ''Gentlemen-I commend to your thoughtful consideration but a single patriotism.''
 "A thunder of applause greeted the reply, and thus, with Amerieanism- inc theme of his first and last public address to America--was Roosevelt acclaimed victor in his maiden pub- lie debate.
 That was when was 1s," Mrs. Robinson concluded.

HAST YEAR OF PIG"
 BAD TIME FOR CHINA
Chinese Would Not Re surprised al strange Turn of E,ents a. Su-
 pcrstitions prcyail

Shanghai. Nov. 2.--Busincss con ditions in China are not so good and Chinese merchants are undecided whether to blame politics or the iink of the present year.
 The Chinese calendar is divided into cycles Of Go years. According to their reckoning, there have been 7I of these cycles since time began. dating from 2697 E. C. during the reign of Huang ri. The cycles are divided into twelve sections Of five years each and each section is known by some special designation stsrh as the years Of the sheep. tho years Of the cock, the years Of the monkey. the stork, the pig. etc.
 This happens to be the last or fifth year Of the pig. The years of the pig are always bad and the last year of the pig the last of the Celestial stems meets the last Of the terrestrial branches, to use the terms or the sages.
 Nothing could happen that would surprise the average Chinese in this year. Bad as it was the Japanese earthquake did not disturb tho Chi nese calm. Influenced by this old tradition Chinese merchants are buy ing only what they need 10 keep go- ing. One Chinese banker pointed out that exports had virtually ceased and imports of foodstuTs greatly in creased. Customs revenues. records show. decreased 4.O0O,00o taels during the first half of 1923. No improve ment is shown in the spinning in- dustry and even tho mah jone btisi- ness has fallen off.
 On the whole the people are glum and resigned.
