He also came into possession Of books used by the Nashi. or Moso priests. containing ancient writing in picture form.

 Tcdsy's Total Sl,s4O
 The goal of the New Britain fresh air fund Ia almost in sight. Todays re- port brings the total to S4,slo.o5, Or just ssss.s5 less than the full amount needed. The fresh air directors are confident now that they will not have to disappoint any boys or girls this year, al least among those who expect ed to go to the camp at Burlington,
 One of the reasons why the fund hss mounted is told in the story of "The United Soda Co.," S. F. Avery a New Britain soda manufacturer re- gently made proposition to Wilits and Godfrey Young, whose father is | L, W. Young, treasurer of the fresh sir fund, that he would supply soda if ths children would sell it for the bene- fit of the fund. The boys organized The United Soda Co.,, with Willts Young as president and treasurer and Geoffrey Young vice. president and secretary. Other youthful financiers who joined the corporation included 3 younger brother Howard Young, George Lindner. Billy Atwood and Donald Bartlett. The seventh tee on the golf course at the Shuttle Meadow club became the 'ninetenth hole" and . soda stand was erected there. Last Thursday the company opened for business and took in, $3.65. Friday business was good and the proceeds $s.10, Saturday it slumped 10 $5.61 and Sunday showed an income of S4.so, making a total in four days of $.o.26.
