HOSTESS OF TORCH-LIGHT
FISHING LAKE.

Lac du Flambeau, Wis.,, seemed in
1915 very deserted little Main Street.
Originally it was a sandy trail through
great white pine trees, from Indian
fishing village to Indian hunting
grounds. Then French voyageurs in
search of beaver followed it and trans
lated it's Indian name, Was Wah-Gam-
ing, Near the Torch -Light-Fishing-
Lake" into their own tongue. Fol
lowed Americans who persuaded the
descendants of Hiawatha to make Lac
du Flambeau the center of a perlna-
nent reservation. But year after year,
generation after generation, say the
old men, the trail remained the same
plne-shadowed, moccasin-printed high
way.
Nineteen fifteen saw it sun-bitten,
dusty, desolate, running through a de-
vastated country past wrecked saw
mill, beyond rows of implanted, desert
ed cabins that mill workers had used
while the company stripped the reser-
walton of its timber. One painted
house stood apart at the end of the
trail where the lake waves up to meet
1t. One of the two remaining clumps
OF trees stood near. One of the few
spirits which had absorbed from ruth
less business the good to be learned
and avoided the i'll, dWelt in the paint
ed house. The one pair of eyes that
saw the green beauty that would soon
clothe the land, and the fish that
begged for fishermen in the long chain
of lakes, belonged to the dweller in the
painted house.
There was question from her hus-
band when Mrs. Benedict Gauthier
proposed to put all the family savings
into a summer hotel for fishermen and
their families. There was opposition
from the Indian tribe, only TO be over
come by long and patient councils
There was argument even from some
Of her most progressive advisers
when it became known that she want
ed an architect to design the hotel,
and proposed highly paid man cook,
and maids in crisp black and white
uniform.
But the architect and the cook and
the maids became realities. The In
-dians found guiding fishermen both
lucrative and pleasant as a change
from their farming. OF the many
guests who drift back to Lac du Flam-
beau summer after summer, not few
have become fast friends of both Mr..
and Mrs. Gauthier, friends such as
would never have crossed the doorsill
OF a couple marooned in the painted
house on the lonely trail.
The final dramatic touch in the
story to many folk lies in the fact that
Mrs. Gauthier, like the village, has an
indian name, given her by a pagan
godmother. in a wigwam, in token Of
her own Ojibway blood.

VIII Permit Trainees
to Retain Their Books

Through the instrumentality of the
American Legion recently an order
was issued from the United States
Veterans bureau which permits re-
habilitated vocational trainers to
retain their books and supplies furn-
ished them by the government for
use during their training. Hereto.
fore it has been the policy of the
bureau to insist upon the return of all
books and materials charged to
trainees upon the completion Of this
course. The Legion argued that this
material when returned to the govern
ment was secondhand and had little
or no salvage value, whereas it would
be real asset to the graduated
trainee.

 Washington, D. C., May 9.-The unprecedented wave of prosperity and industrial activity which has been evident throughout the country in re- cent months is keeping up at steady rate in Connecticut, so far as is .evi- denced by the continued increases in postal receipts in the leading cities of the state.
 1 Receipts in April at all four of the leading offices of the state showed gains ranging from six to 20 per cent over those of April last year. Water bury, one of the 50 industrial cities of the country selected by the post office department to typify conditions throughout the United States, led the other Connecticut cities with an in crease of 20.6o per cent: Bridgeport, the. other Connecticut city in the in dustrial list, had gain of 10.94 per cent. and Hartford and New Haven, on another list of 50 larger offices reported increases of 6.34 and 6.S2 | per cent. respectively.
 l Waterburys total April receipts were $S5,500.4S, against $2s,437.00 in April, 1928: Bridgeport's were $es,- 405.54. as compared with s61,622.20; Hartford's, $152,S71.91, against sl4s,- 2sS.53, and New Haven's $f2o,S65.os a gainst S113.205,30.
 The average increase in April re- ceipts for the 5a leading cities wal 10.44 per cent. and the average for the 50 industrial cities 1c.4s per cent Twelve of the 50 industrial cities re- ported increases greater than 20 pel cent.

RIG RECEPTION IS
 PLANNED IN N. YORK
Chicago Also Arranges Welcome
 for Cardinal Mundelein

New York, May 9.-George Car dinal Mundelein of Chicago returns 10 America today on the Berengaria to receive an enthusiastic greeting from of l76 priests and laymen of his na- tive city. The reception here, how ever, will be but preliminary to the welcome awaiting him in the metrop- olis of the middle west.
 The new cardinal will be met down the bay by a special reception com mites and will be transferred from the liner to a smaller steamer which will bear him to the Battery.
 From there the entire delegation will proceed to the residence of Car dinal Hayes, where Cardinal Mundel- ein will make a short and formal visit He will then go to his hotel, where Cardinal Hayes will return his visit.
 In the evening he will be the guest of the Chicago delegation at dinner and will leave for his home tomorrow morning.
 Heavy fog which hung over the At lantic seabord and New York harbor early today delayed the progress to- wards port of the Berengaria, and it was believed in marine circles that she might be held up several hours.
