NEW POST OFFICE
 FOR SOUTH|NGTON
Modern Building to Be Erected at Main Street and Berlin Avenue

southington, June 2o.--The Hos pital corporation of southington has awarded the contract for the new two story brick building to be erected on the corporationIs property at the cor ner of Main street and Berlin ave hue to A. T. Lindsay of this place. The plans for the building have been drawn by Architect Walter T. Arnold of Meriden, and will provide quarters for the post office and two stores on the ground floor and six offices and tow nurses rooms on the second floor.
 The main entrance on the Main street side will give access to the post office, the corner store and the up- per floor. while there will also be en- frances to both stores on the Berlin avenue side of the building. The fact that the building has been designed by Mir. Arnold insures an up-to-date building of the most modern construc- tion.
 The property. which has been own ed by the Hospital corporation for oDlllt stdtSt IS hpN oltupieo ny a small wooden two story building. oc- cupied as a meat market by the South ington Beef company.
 The corporation was given 8 fund of about s190,000 through the will of the late Julia A. Bradley. widow of Frank Bradley, to go toward a hospi- tai in Southington at some future date. This fund has been invested, and amount is now between s240, GOO and s250.00o. This property is DOT ton of the fund, and the corporation decided to erect a better building in order to improve the property, which has been neglected, and thereby in- erase the income from it.
 The plan Is to have citizens of Southington contribute the s35,ooo or s4O,on0 necessary 10 build the new structure and hereby help the hospi- tai fund to accumulate more rapidly, 1 Arrangements have been made for | the hospital to occupy g portion of the lower floor of the building, and the plans have been drawn by MT. | Arnold with this Tn view. The stores and offices will be modern in every way, and the headquarters of the visiting nurses, who are now located over the post office, will ha in the new building.

Laws.

Los Angeles, June 20.-What hap pened at the gay party here last New Years night in the court of which Courtland S. Dimes, Denver oil man, was shot and seriously wounded. to- day remained food for the imagina- ton of those who hopefully attended session after session of the trial of Horace A. Greer on a charge of at tempting to murder Dimes. The de- fendant was acquitted by jury of 10 women and two men in the superior court yesterday without having said word from the stand
 If they were disappointed, so was Greer; he had scarcely finished shak- ing hands with the jurors, when he was arrested on charge of violating the state prohibition enforcement act, Pending preliminary hearing on this charge. he was released on s25o bail.
 Neither Miss Normand. Greer's for mer employer. nor Edna Purviance, the other motion picture actress with Dimes, when he was shot, were in court to hear the verdict. Miss Nor mand said she was not entirely sats- fed with the way the trial turned out.

JAPANESE BITTER
 AT AMERICAN NOTE
Radical Newspaper Says "Fine Words But False Heart"
rr The As.ociated Press.

By The Associated Press
 Tokio, June 20. -- Disappointment and bitterness mark the editorials in the vernacular newspapers on the re- ply of the United States to the Japan ese protest against the exclusion leg islation of the American congress. The comment ranges between the re strained articles of the more sober journals to the denunciation of Ameri- ca by the lingo papers.
 The Asahi says the Japanese are not satisfied with the reply which evades the real issue, racial discrim- nation"
 The Kokumin declares that the Japanese nation now expects the gov ernment to re-Orient its foreign pol lev in view of Japan's alter int"rna- tionsl position as q result of exclu- sion"
 The Yorozu says the "onlv thing left is to leave the question thus un- settled"
 The jingoistic Yamato asserts; The note is filled with sophistry from be ginning to end. This injustice is in- tolerable. It is the duty of the Jap anese people to fight it to the end"
 The Jiji Shimpo thinks America has merely wasted thousands of words. The reply is complete dis appointment to Japan. If the United States had been genuinely sincere she would not have indulged in empty theoretical arguments"
 The Chugai shogyo calls the note sophistry, Ian empty profession of friendship. 1t shows fine words but false heart"
 Under the heading mot s reply" the Nichi Nichi avows: Perhaps it is better to drop the matter here. since the reply shows that the United States will not really answer the rehl points raised by Japan"

WHEN HORSES HAD FIVE TOES

"rhe three-taeti herses' was a great side .show attracfiO,R wlth a circus some years ago. Yet most of the pe0pie who looked at him disln't know that this freak merely took after his aReestars. scme of whem had three tees. and, going away hack. five.
 Same of the scientists who aie in tbe rocks and go sn dangerous trips in the s.ssertR to find seketHRs of these animals of by gone days have discosered bones belieTetl to have Ae9ongeA to an cestors of the horse which show hew, gradually. the nambeF of tees became less and less until there N&s enly one. as there is today.
 Ancient Herse Was Small.
 They found one skeietaR ct an am maj. which is believed te be the most speieut horse, that ioSks rerT little like the horse we know today. That animal, as it probably looked running about the plains, is shown 5n the illus trati0n. It was very small, PFehably about the size of large deg, kaA five toes. and had a tail like member of the cat family.
 As the ages passed horses Erew laFg- CT and began to lose the extra toes. This was to their advantage, fSF they were always very swift sni1Rais. and for running over bard earth and for supporting their greater size, the hoOf is better than the five toes. DSd y0u ever notIee how animals are thus suited for the way in which, they live?
 The rhiBoeeres, for instance. is a very large animal that doesn't have heOfs, hut he lives on the borders of streams and marshy places, or i'll the shady depths of forests, where the ground is soft and yielding, so he doesn't need hard h0ofs, as the horse does.
 Brain Was Small.
 The brain of the horse today is very mnch larger than that of his early an- cest0rs, who had very small brain in deed. Of course life was quite simple for these ancient hsrses. And they didn't need to exercise tbe jAAgmeBt and mem orY thaa a horse neeas t0eAy.

A Cup of Tea

Have u cup of tea?' says China 10 the rest of the world, for frem that .iana of dragons and Nah Jongg comes most of the tea we dFink.
 Fhe frees in the great tea gardens are raised from seeds, and are kept trimmed to about five or six feet high. If they were allowed to grow, they prRhahly weald reach a height of about twenty-five feet. In about three years after planting. the first ersp of leaves caa be gathered, and from then on they are asiaIiy gathered four times each year, the trees yielding for about twenty five ar thirty years
 Leaves Are Dried
 The leaves are first dried. as\ they are full of sap or juice, after they are picked. The drying is done in several ways. Usuaffy it is done On trays made of maboe. The leaves are FalsbeSl and rolled between the palms sf the hands, so that they may dry nssre quickly and evenly
 Next they are "fired," sr placed a few at time. in iron pans over char coal fire. They are left in these but sh0rt tome, for they are hot If the kaves are sufficiently dried after the first fiRiDg, they are finished; if not, they are fired once again. The tea is then spread cut. and the broken bits of stems are removed
 ROlf Leaves
 The large tea-hongs use peculiar method of rounding the leaves. In one of the places several Chinamen rsll and toss balls about with their hare feet. Tine halls arc about the size af foot halls and are partly filled with tea. Although this performance looks like . game, it~is really very hard work. As the balls are tossed about. the tea leaves are given their rounded or twist e1 appearance,
 In the iargest tea-honSs there are professional tasters whe grade the tea and fix its value before shipping. They do nothing but sip tea fram small cups, and this is considered a gery important line of york; requiring particular ex- perienced taste.

BEWARE OF THE FAKE
SOLICITOR

This is the time Of year to be-
ware of the fake solicitor who seeks
funds under the guise of charity.
This fellow is one kind of swindler
who preys upon human emotions at a
time when hearts begin to open and
respond to the Christmas urge.
Know to whom, and for what, you
are giving. If a proposition is not
worth investigating, it is not worth
giving toward. Every unworthy cause
that makes a successful appeal may
not harm the mistaken giver to any
great extent, but it causes every
worthy cause TO suffer by making it
more difficult for the worthy cause
to find needed response. 1t is the
unknown and stranger-solicitor that
needs the watching.
