BUILDINGS BURNED
 IN 600 ACRE FIRE
Elton and Churchill HOmeSteadS
 Destroyed by Southington Blaze
Special to Tine Heraid.l

Southington. April S1S.-Two farm houses known as the Elton and Churchill homcsteads and several barns and other Farm buildings were destroyed in the Flanders section of Southington late yesterday afternoon by a forest fire which swept across an area of more than 600 acres.
 Although hundreds of residents joined with the fire fighters in an at- tempt to stop the flames, the dwell- ing houses and other buildings could not be saved. The terrain was cov- cred with a dense growth of under brush and small trees and the dryness of the saplings made the fire literal holocaust which ate everything be- fore it. The flames were not sub dued until they had reached the grass land.
 There was no water available in the section and those combating the flames were forced to use shovels, brooms and other improvised imple- ments and attempts 10 back-fire the confagration were unsuccessful ow- ing to high wind.
 The fire started on Queen street and went straight over Red Stone Hill. The damage to the buildings was placed at s15.000 while the full extent of the damage caused by the fire could not be determined.

URGES WOMEN ID
 EXERCISE RIGHTS
President Coolidge Wants Them
 To Vote at Elections

Washington, April 15.-Some action designed to encourage participation by women in the coming elections was predicted today by leaders attending the 33rd continental congress of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion.
 President Coolidge, addressing the convention last night, pointed out that for the first time in a national election the women of the United States have known far in advance that they would have a voice in the decision, and urg- ed that they exercise their right Of suffrage to the fullest extent.
 Declaring the people of the nation may well be summoned ito the pres ervation. the guardianship. and the gradual perfection'' of the American system of government, MT. Coolidge at the same time warned against de- parture ''in this current troubled per- fod" from the principle of coordinate legislative. executive and judicial au- thority. The recent clashes between the executives and executive branches of the government, however, were not mentioned specifically by the presi- dent.
 The value of preparedness was em- phasized by General Pershing, who, with Ambassadors Jusserand of France and Howard of Great Britain, also addressed the congress last night. Asserting that .the stability and fu- ture of the republic depends upon the intelligence and patriotism of our young men and women," General Pershing said the citizen training camps were attempting ito train young men to an understanding of their responsibilities as citizens"
 The reports of the resolutions and other committees occupied most of the attention of the Daughters this morn- ing and meetings of state delegates

The committee reports included those on the Pilgrim Mothers Memorial foun- tain, at Plymouth, Mass, and the painting to be presented 10 the war museum of France, the Ann Rogers Minor essay contest, the society's magazine, preservation of historic spots, the national old trails road, correct use of the flag. the Liberty Loan fund, the liquidation and en- dowment fund, the student loan fund, publicity and the memorial to Caro- line Scott Harrison.

TWICE STRICKEN,
BUT CARRIES ON
Actor, Going Blind, Not Dis
Couraged,

By CHited Press
MUSKOGEE, Okla, Sept. %
The second great tragedy in Harry
Benefits life is settling over him
like dusk at sunset.
Bennett, an actor, artist and mu-
stefan, is going blind.
Nature for a second time has
thrown a physical barrier in his
way.
Years ago, Benefits voice was
stricken in his appearance at the
opening of the $1,00O,O0O Keith
Theater in Boston.
That eccentricity of fate was
enough to crush an artist standing
near the peak of his career. Not
50 with Bennett. Starting anew he
centered his efforts at the piano
and pipe organ and became a thea
ter photoplayer. He has been play
ing in Muskogee's leading theaters
for some time.
Now, the keys of his instrument
are becoming blurred. For him the
sun is setting.
But, Bennett is not giving up. His
mind visions a travelling minstrel
show. His wife. once known to cir
Gus celebrities as "Ohvette Martin
and famous for her ability in Rom
an riding. will be the eyes" Ben
nett has not forgotten the trick
card performance he learned from
a Hindu seer years ago. Blindfold-
ed. ne visions mystifying his audi
ence by his deXterity with cards.
When Bennett embarks with his
new venture, the closing chapters
of an adventurous professional life
covering period Of forty-five years
will begin.

GIFT OF SAILOR
IN 1878 UNUSED
For Marine Hospital Never
Constructed,
BIZ Times Special

bW IiMeS CptttuE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-In 1878
a grateful patient of the Marine hos
pitaI service, now the Public Health
Service, donated $3.523.5O for the
benefit of the Marine hospital at
Bath. Me" The amount was placed
at interest by the collector of Gus
toms and is still on deposit, because
there was no Marine hospital at
Bath, Me, and never has been, the
nearest one on that coast being To-
Gated at Portland. Me, and Boston.
Practically all cities in the United
States are increasing in size, and the
city of Bath is no exception. 1t is
not all improbable that the time may
come when a new Marine hospital
will be needed on the Maine coast
to serve those who go down to the
sea in ships, in conformity with the
Government policy established in
1898 to provide medical care for mer-
chant seamen. Students of compound
interest may compute the period
necessary for the donation to grow
TO the necessary size.

Then there is another way, and
that is that you shall borrow. borrow,
