A meeting called by the Board of
Trade at the Town Hall, Tuesday
evening was largely attended by the
citizens to discuss the local fire
situation. The meeting was called to
order by Harry Henderson, president
of the Board OF Trade. Action look
ing to the protection Of the town
against further fires at the earliest
possible time was approved by all.
Timely remarks were contributed to

pany and w. @. Soule, fire chief, aise
J. M. Pierce, DR.. II. w. Smith and
others, Representatives OF building
concerns and manufacturers OF fire
apparatus were present and gave inn
portant information to the meeting.
One of these estimated that three
business buildings suitable for the
needs Of the trade could be erected
according to his specifications for
$500. Mr.. Cook OF fire concern

pumps and chemical engines at a

house should be constructed to be
used solely for the housing of the
fire apparatus. The following COM

at a town meeting to be held at the

columns of names, each extending
considerably higher than my head.
1.-The thing about those names
that most drew my interest was the
form of so many of the names
themselves. Very few of our pure
Anglo Saxon names. Many of those
names were too difficult for me to
undertake to pronounce. There
were names that it was clear were

names 1 took to be Polish or
Bohemian; Catholic. no doubt.
There was a large number OF names
of men who evidently were
Italian, for New Haven has many
Italians. They were, OF course,
nearly all Catholic. Then there
were names l took to be Hebrew,
from the form of the family name.
Others whose given names were
such as Abraham. and Isaac, and
boys who had been born into Jewish
homes, and had been given the
names of the Old Testament Heroes.
And those men, whose names
were together on the Roll of Honor,
Hebrew, Catholic and Protestant,
had marched shoulder to shoulder,
with no mark OF distinction between
them; they had encouraged each
other as they stood knee deep In
the muddy trenches; they took each
other by the hand as they went over
the top; in death their blood
