Mrs. Traver Observes
 Her 9lst Birthday

Mrs. Margaret Traver, one of the
 oldest residents of New Britain,
 passed her 91st birthday anniversary quietly today at 16O Maple street. where she is making her home with her son, Harry A. Traver. Mrs. Ira yer was born in New York state on July 30, 1883. Her life has been far from one of ease, for she was left . widow when almost 50, and, to sup port herself, conducted a hve-cent restaurant on the Bowery of New York. Those were the days when this section of the metropolis was at it's worst and was terrorized by the gangs, the days when horse cars were the latest thing in municipal transpor- tation, when womens skirts swept the ground with majesty but without sanity or sanitation, and when, as at her own establishment, square meal for a husky stevedore could be pur- chased for one dime.
 This environment failed to make any impression on Mrs. Traver. whose watchword in life has been, Live up to the teachings ot Gods word". With this motto. she has survived her past troubles and, is looking confidently to the century mark. A year ago cell ebration was held on her 90th birth day anniversary, but this year, al- though she is able to be about every day, she Is not so we'll and there was no celebration

DISCUSSION OF DAIRY
 SYSTEM IS ON PROGRAM
Farm and Home Week Meetings At Mass. Agricultural Col
 lege Continue

Amherst, Mass, July 31.--Discus- sion of the New England Dairy sys- tenn, the recently organized coopera- tive milk marketing organization, was to the fore at the farm and home week meeting sessions at the Massa- chusetts Agricultural college today. The plan, which has been critized by representatives of this college and of the University of Vermont, was en- dorsed by the executive committee of the Massachusetts farm bureau fed eration last night.
 S. R. Parker of the Massachusetts agricultural college In an address to- day pointed out the advantages and dangers of local cooperatives.
 "If there is any loss," he said, "the' producer owner shares It. Employes of a. cooperative if they own shares are often more efficient than others. Incomplete and obscure accounting hts caused many failures in coopera- lives. A cooperative concern must usually be conducted by directors who have had little experience with cor porate management"
 Professor E. H. Ellenberger of the of Vermont said that Yer mont would ship milk to Boston so long as the price of fluid milk made this more profitable than to manufac- ture it into dairy products at home. He said that vermant at present pro- vided half of the Boston supply Of sweet cream and milk, cheap pastur- age and labor offsetting the distance from the market.

YOUNG COOLIDGE WILL
 NOT GO TO CAMP DEVENS
Son of President Will Remain in Washington With Parents
 All Summer.

Washington, July S1.-Plans made by President and Mrs. Coolidge to permit their son, John, to attend the citizens military camp this summer at Camp Devens, Mass, have been abandoned and John will remain with his parents at the Whiter House until fall, when he enters Amherst college.
 It was the plan and desire of MT. and Mrs. Coolidge at the time school closed last June that both John and his brother, Calvin, Jr., should at- tend the camp, but since the death of the latter the question of Johns at tendance at the camp has been held in abeyance. John has been spend- ing almost all of his time with his and his presence was found to be such 8 comfort to her that the president finally decided it would be, better for him to remain here until school opens.
 This would have been Johns sec- ond summer in Camp Devens, where he was taking training year ago when his father became president .
 The president, accompanied by John, meanwhile, appears to have resumed horseback riding as his form of exercise, having been observed several times recently by early risers on the bridal paths south of the White House.

READY ID ASSIST
 BRITISH AVIATOR
us. Boat at Aleutian Islands to
 Give Him Aid

Aboard U. S. Coast Guard Cutter Algonquin, July 30 (By wireless to the Associated Press by St. Paul Island) After giving medical and dental attention to S5 Aleutian island Indians at Nazan harbor, Atka island, off the Rat island group, between Atka and Attn islands, where aid will be given to any persons in need. The present schedule calls for the Attu island, the farthest westerly point of the Aleutians where stop of two or three days will be made. Assistance will be given to A. Stuart MacLaren, British globe f1ier and his companions, if they arrive during that period.
 Although no word has been re- ceived from Petropavlovsk wehre the English aviator was reported last, officers of the Algonquin believe that MacLaren has been delayed by high winds, heavy fogs and rough seas, prevalent at this time of the year.
 The Canadian trawler, Thiepval, which established supply bases for the aviator left small supply of gasoline at Nazan harbor for Mac Laren. Splendid landing facilities have been provided at the harbor. The village of Nazan on the harbor is the only human habitation for hum dreds of miles. It contains about 2s huts.
 Flying conditions about the Aleu- tians are. considered dangerous dur ing August due to fogs. wind and rough seas.
 If the weather is foggy at the time MacLaren reaches the vicinity of Nazan, he may be unable to find the harbor and be forced to continue to Atka island.

 Became Familiar With Girl Clerk.
 Probable cause was found in the case of Charles Sapko of Grove street. charged with indecent assault upon a 16 year old girl, and he was bound over to the September term of the superior court at Hartford. Bonds for release were fixed at $500.
 Detective Sergeant William P. Me- Cue testified that he was called to in- vestigate complaint made to the po- lice at about Ii o'clock last night and upon investigating learned that the girl. who was employed in her fathers store at 105 Broad street, had been assaulted by Sapko. Ac- cording to testimony presented today Sapko entered the store, ordered a drink, became familiar by putting his arms about the girls waist and when she cried and screamed left the store. He admitted having put his arms around her waist but denied having made further advances. He was rep resented by Attorney William F. Mangan, who pleaded for leniency on the grounds that the case could have been disposed of under sim pie assault plea rather than indecent assault.
 The cases of Mary and Andrew both charged with | breach of the peace and assault were continued until September 13.

In fact, Mr.. Brown thinks its all
over In that State. Coolidge already
has the States electoral votes. is the
way he puts it. He said the nomina-
tion of John w. Davis by the Demo-
Gratis failed to arouse anw great en-
thusiasm and that there is no reason
to fear La Toilette.
He admitted that there is some
little La Toilette sentiment, princi-
pally in the industrial sections, but
Toilette followers in Ohio are princi-
pally Democrats. He figures that the
La Toilette votes in Ohio next No

out of ten Democrats.
