Clerk McGrail staNd that at the December meeting of Ne board it will
 be necessary to receive all applica- tions for increases in pay as all sal ary increases for next year must be
 presented at the December meeting of the common council.
 The clerk was also instructed to submit to the common council re- ports on the boards action in regard to Corporation Counsel Kirkham s opinion on appointing policemen over the age limit and the petition from the fifth warders asking for better police protection, which was referred to the chief.
 Chief Hart stated that Policeman John c. Stadler had been operated on at the New Britain General hospi- tai folloS'ing a raid on Sunday, Oc- tober 4, in which he was injured He also stated that Policeman William Doherty has been off duty for week with an injury to his foot as the re- suit of being hurt when alighting from the service car at a raid.
 At the request of Chairman David l.. Dunn Chief Hart gave an interest," ing account of the meeting of police chiefs, mayors and chairman of boards at New Haven this past week in reference to traffic regulations. He said that an effort is to be made throughout the state to have uniform colors and regulations in traffic.
 A meeting of the police pension fund committeespreceded that of the regular board. Policeman William O'Mara was present representing the patrolmen. Curtis Sheldon, city treas urea was also present and stated that there is now approximately s42,000 in the pension fund. Of this amount about S20,000 is invested in govern ment bonds and the remainder is in that the fund has grown within the past few years and it does not now seem advisable to take the money from the bank to further in- vest in government bonds.
 Chief Hart stated that there is no prospect of placing men on the pension list although there are two who are eligible and two more will be within year. MT. Sheldon also added that the appropriation given by the city each year is placed in a checking account from which the pensions are paid. In the past few years the amount paid out has been S1,650. The sum this year, Chairman Dunn said, will total sl,SS0 which is a little more than the ap- received from the city. The difference, however, can be made up from the other account, it was stated.

Brazil and Argentina Not Likely

Santiago, Chile. April 12 (By the Associated Press at the opening of the Pan-American confer ence that differences between Argen- tina and Brazil as to limiting arma. ment would make an agreement im- possible are considered today to have been fulfilled.
 The expectation is that the general conference will accept the report to the armaments committee submitted by Chile yesterday. This report did not recommend a concrete plan for reducing expenditures beyond propos- ing that each nation study reduction of armaments by means of interna- tional treaties, each state considering the formula which it deems most dis erect and most opportune for this purpose"
 In her endeavor to find an &C., ceptable solution, Chile has been con- fronted from the beginning by Brazil's determination to continue her arn,a,- ment program until her "internal and external necessities" are provided for and also by Argentina's refusal to subscribe to such program as a. basis for agreement.
 Some delegates predict eventual ef- forts of the United States to reconcile the differences.

ANCIENT DARKEY TELLS OF
 GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE
Veterans Having Enjoy. able Reunion at New Orleans
 Parade Tomorrow

New Orleans. April 12.--Delegates to the 33rd annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans faced a. busy program when they assembled today to wind up the business sessions of the convention. The parade of vet erans will be held tomorrow.
 In attendance are a number of ante-bellum negroes who still recount stories of their white folks" of those days. Of the Confederate leader Rob- ert E. Lee, one spoke thus yesterday:
 An when Marse Robert wuz ridin' along on his big hoss in front uv de battle line an saw me side him, he yels:
 Git away frum dis firin' line, Will liam. an git back on de animal line. Fust thing you know you'll git shot an I won't have no cook, an sho huff I gets shot minute aftuh that right in de wilderness, tool"
 The talker was the Rev. William Mack Lee of Norfolk. Va, who was body servant and cook for the Con federate chieftain. The old darkey, his coat and vest resplendent with re- union badges, was the center of a throng of veterans and members of the Daughters of the Confederacy all day

Miss Elizabeth, or Bessie" as she is known to her friends, will become licensed drug gist when she reaches her 21st birth day. In the meantime the. business is known as "O'Connor's Drug store.'
 A striking feature of what may be expected during the coming future Gs woman grows more and more into the business life of the generation. is the arrangement of drugs on the shelves of this store. Everything is arranged in alphabetical order, almost as care- fully as though it were placed in a gigantic card index and the same thing is always in the same place.
 Another striking phase of modern woman's emancipation is found in the reply made by Miss Vivian to the question, What will become of the store when you get married? ?" Tt will make no difference to the store" she replied promptly. I'll simply run the store and my husband, too, that's all"

 'only partner" replied the young woman. Would you like to speak to my partner?" Thinking that pos sibly the young woman migit be tho wife of the druggist and ,nar hcr al- legged partner" really meant her hus- band. the salesman replied. eagerly. Yes. let me speak to him please"
 Bessie, there's a gentleman to see you" was the message which hoated musically back to the rear of the prescription department, The star tied salesman received another jolt. The partner was a young woman, just as pretty as the one to whom he was speaking, but at least i've years her junior.
 Then he realized the truth. He was interviewing the proprietresses of New Britain's only woman drug store. Misses Vivian and Bessie O'Connor not only are the owners and managers of O'Connor's drug store. but they al- 50 are the druggists and compound their own prescriptions. As independ- ent as the modern woman is. they are demonstrating successfully that a man around a business place these days is not even an Indispensable ornament
 For just about month these young women have been running their own drug store. Prior to that time they worked there, although they were not actually in charge.
 It all happened when their father, the late J. F. Connor passed away in 1917. leaving two daughters. one aged IS years and the other aged IS. The girls had grown up in the drug busi- ness and the father. man of wide vision, saw the opportunities for the coming woman and made arrange ments so that when they became 24 years of age they would own their own business, which would be firmly established.
 Miss Vivian, the elder sister, had just graduated or was about 10 gradu- ate from the New Britain High school when her father died, and Miss Elizabeth was a student at St. Mary's parochial school. Miss Vivian went into the drug store where she worked under the instruction of her uncle, W. F. O'Connor, who had been appointed guardian of the young women until they reached their 24th During the period that the business was managed under the uncle's supervision it was known as the w. F.

Salesman From Hypothetical Drug Co. Finds Women Druggists

The trolley car swung around a corner of North street and turned in- to Hartford avenue as John w. Dope- ster. the salesman from the "Hypo- Thetical Drug Co., sample case in hand. dropped of. Hc breczed into a nearby drug store and looked around while awaiting the proprietor.
 To his left he noticed cast-iron urn of a peculiar Oriental design sug- gestive of King Tut, the Shah of Per- sia, or some ancient Hebrew rite. On second glance he thought 1t might be some of the ritualistic scenery from the Hip Sing Tongs of Chicago or the On Le-on Tongs of New York. and visions of Chinese tea drinking orgies floatcd through his brain.
 The urn stood on a modern marble and onyx soda fountain. behind which gleamed rows of brightly polished nickel plated faucets, reflected in spotless mirror on the wall. Extend ing back to the rear of the store were --ong lines of plate glass cases filled with the very latest word in confec- tionery and modern drug supplies. Up to date tables for ice cream customers stood, unobtrusively about, yet there was q general feeling of plenty of room and comfort over all.
 Gee. the guy that owns this place is right up to date" thought the salesman, ruminating on thoughts of the "spotless drug store from spotless town" as smiling young woman ap- preached from behind the prescrip- ton counter.
 ''Is the buyer in?" queried the salesman of the young woman, who he immediately decided was no less attractive than the store itself.
 I'm the buyer" she sweetly re- piled. "Ye-e-e-s. I know" stammered the salesman. thinking she was in charge temporarily. But I'm looking for the manager"
 Still smiling as though she were enjoying a joke the young woman volunteered the information that she was the manager. Well" asked the
