ROTARIANS DINE ON
 R. O. CLARK'S SHAD
Entertained in Royal Style in
 East Berlin M. E. Church

The continuation of one mans ef-
 forts to put to practical use the Rot
 ary theory that "He profits most who
 serves best" was apparent to New
 Britain Rotarians last evening as they
 feasted and made merry as guests of R. O. Clark of East Berlin in the
 spacious dining room that would not i have been there had 1t not been for
 Mr. Clark.
 It was a shad dinner and judging
 from the amount of shad that was consumed there must have been a | feeling of lonesomeness among the
 remaining fish in the Connecticut river.
 Mir. Clark has the reputation of 1 never doing things by halves and that
 dinner was the proof. Starting with creamed tomato soup, the menu ran the whole course through the baked shad, potatoes and all the fixins including green peas to strawberries. ice cream and cigars. And there was i plenty of it. His sleeves rolled up, his coat off, tray in his hands the host time after time pressed upon his guests additional helpings until it 1 seemed as though the supply was in- exhaustible.
 And all through the dinner Rotar- ians made the building rock with their songs and merriment. There were solos by Ralph Britton and Louis Jones. Jim MePherson sang. Scotch song and Howard Sherman sang Far Away" Ben Parker's or chestra furnished music. A group of interested youngsters outside the church were invited to help in the singing, and one young man who. has a reputation "among the fellas'" of being a good singer, volunteered to sing solo, but had stage fright.
 brief address was delivered by Rev. A. c. Fuller, pastor of the East Berlin M. E. church, who told the visiting Rotarians they represented a group of men who had discovered that service is the way to success and happiness. He called attention to a Rotary sign painted on the wall of the church dining room, He Profits Most Who Serves Best" He explained '"es thhs was. tnc poiiey oI MT, CIafk and told his hearers that a short time ago the church basement was nothing but mud hole. Now it is modern. fully equipped dining room and kitchen, with a concrete floor and has overhead a monument to service.
 Because of the interest and ef- forts of Mir. Clark we are able to en- tertain you here tonight" he said.
 Men who enjoy service are to be congratulated because they enjoy rendering to others the service that beautifies and strengthens other lives"
 President Hartwell Taylor an. nounced that the usual luncheon fee of s1 had been collected from mem bers and that over si0o would be turned over to the Ladies' Aid of the East Berlin Methodist church, who had served the dinner.
 Mfr. Clark's assistance to the church to which he belongs is a matter of local pride in East Berlin. His bene- factions to the church are said to have been between s4,oO0 and s5,o00.

NEW YORK PREPARES ID WELCOME WOMEN
Feminine Sex Expected to Be Factor at Democratic Convention

New York, May s.-Women, who
 will be more numerous and more
 powerful at this years national
 democratic convention than in any
 previous conclave of the party, have
 set out to show their male confreres a few things about convention con- duct,
 The authority for this statement is
 Miss Elizabeth Marbury, committee woman from New York state, member of the democratic national executive committee and recognized leader of her sex in councils of the party.
 Among other things, Miss Marbury says men have had political conven- tions all their own way for so long they've fallen into 8 rut:" women in politics s'have been taught to take the responsibility more seriously than men," feminine delegates to the Madison Square Garden proceedings are going to get something more out of the experience than the novelty of voting for a presidential nominee;" and they 'are going to be shown that New York is something besides a AloflOuS JdLH Ddnu OI DlStic anu show-of

 This year women have equal repre- sentation with men on the national democratic committed, and party leaders, including the men, predict that fully a third of the delegates to the Madison Square Garden doings will be women.
 One of the first actions of the sub committee on convention arrange ments, when it chose New York for the 1924 session, was to entrust Miss Marbury with the responsibility of contributing to the comfort, con- ,enience and entertainment of the women delegates, and of installing a spirit of harmony between them and the men representatives" Miss Marbnry named committee of nine to aid her, established women's convention bureau at the Waldorf Astoria headquarters for the party. and set about personally to carry out instructions.
 Many women who will come here, as delegates or convention visitors, will be seeing New York for the first time," Miss Marbury said. 'As a rative New Yorker, I believe there's more to this metropolis than its jazz Land features.
 "A great many women will como here who in their home towns, out in the sticks as they say 1t, are seriously active in municipal affairs. welfare work, prison reforms. health | betterment, public school administra- ton, playgrounds, and even transit | We propose to give | those women some ideas to take home | with them.
 We will take them to ses our prisons, our settlement clubs, our and children's clinics. They may get some ideas that will be of | use when they return home.
