FRATERNALISM IS
AT CROSS ROADS
Speaker Says Taxation
Threatens Societies,
En- Times Special

By Times Special
MONTREAL, June 27.-Fraternal-
ism is at the crossroads, according
10 W. r. Shirley. president Of the
National Fraternal Congress OF
America with 1 0 1000, 900 members. in
an address here before the con
vention Of the Canadian Fraternal
Association.
Shirley pointed out that recent re-
adjustments of fraternal beneficiary
societies on a sound actuarial basis
through rerating had meant a loss
Of membership and. in some cases,
insurgency. Rerating, he said, was
necessary to insure absolute
solvency.
Many societies." he said, dis
covered that the structure they had
builded was not on a sound founda-
ton and ultimately fail"
Shirley called attention to taxation
as ian imminent danger threatening
fraternal beneficiary societies" A
law taxing fraternals already has
been put int effect in Tennessee.
Other States, he said, are threaten
ing similar legislation.

JOint-EaSe for
Burning Feet

Now that We know that aching. burn
ing feet are caused by troubles in the
small bones in the arches of The feet
And that trouble can only be reached
by Joint-Ease, an active emollient that
soaks right in through skin and flesh
direct to the joints and ligaments.
Isn't it about time to discover pow
ders and medicated baths that only
reach the outside of the skin?
And rub on Joint Ease. that in two
minutes starts 10 soothe and heal the
inside troubles thta cause soreness and
burning.
Rub it on tonight and If there is any
burning left in the morning, it won't
be enough to bother.
Always remember when Joint Ease

GAS CONSUMERS
GET LITTLE HOPE
OF CUT IN BILLS
City Engineer Sees No Gain
if Quality Is Lowered
With Rates,
Lower gas rate-fewer B. T. US

Lower gas rate-fewer B. T. US
requireG-same old gas bills.
This probably would be the net re-
suit of the proposed agreement be-
tween the city and the Citizens Gas
Company, Frank Lingenfelter, city
engineer, said today.
At an informal conference last
week Mayor Shank asked Clarence
L. Kirk, secretry and general man
ager of the gas company, whether
rates could be reduced to 81. Kirk
said they might if the city require
ments for gas of 600 British thermal
units be reduced to 475. Kirk is
preparing figures for the mayor.
"I doubt whether this arrange
mant would result in any saving to
the public" Lngenfelter said. 1T
might even result in more expensive
gas.
Under the rates which 90 into
effect July 1 the rate will be S1.10
where bills are paid promptly. A
81 rate would be only a 10 cent re-
duction. Cutting the B. T. u.
standard to AIS would mean that
more gas must be used to obtain the
same amount Of heat"
Although gas of 500 B. T. U. is
required by the contract between the
city and company, records at city
hall show that gas for the past year
has averaged 574 B. T. U. Lingen-
felter said no objection has been
offered by the city unless the gas
fell below $40 B T. U.

SELLS CIRCIS COMING

The writers that like to picture clowns as studious fellows, often me- lancholy, are not hewing to the line, exactly, for clowns are very much like you and me. and they are not a bit inclined to sulk off to one side, wtSn there are ladies around. With Sells floto circus, coming to New Britain Tuesday, there are among the funny fifty many "joeys" who ore at their best when encouraged by pretty girls with the show or in the stands. Let any pretty girl laugh heartily at any clown, and you'll see the poor chap work his head off in front of her seat in the grandstand. Yes, the clowns arc not a bit different from you and me.
 The Sels-Floto clowns this year take part in The Bride and the Beast,' the mighty opening spectacle of the big show, a lyrical eXtravagan- "a of the harbaric antiquity with a wild animal climax that will raise ones hair, The funsters will be seen in parade. the largest in the world, by the way, and one which has more cages and dens of performing wild creatures in line than ever before seen in America.

 The judges were Scout Executives Beebe of Torrington, Harmon of Naugatuck, and Breckbill of Bristol.
