ful domestic trait hidden away in
every hubby's heart which women
may do well to cultivate. That is, the
latent desire TO cook.
Most married women have discov-

they discover that the lamb chop or
Sunny-side egg they have been super

out on the plate.
, The home-service expert points out
that encouragement of this desire to
cook on the part of the man of the
house will inevitably lead to the pur-
chase Of more modern cooking and
other kitchen appliances, as men arc
progressive by nature and cannot bear

1t is claimed that several house

fallen heir to the gift of handsome
electric cooking ranges due to this
progressive tendency. as the man has
tried to excuse his lack of success in
cooking by claiming that the range
was unreliable and behind the times,
and that he considered it next to mar

Large Project May Include
New Speedway for
Coast City.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, Apri
Hi.-Padre Island, long stretch Of
land skirting the South Texas Gull
Coast country, will be developed into
veritable pleasure island, according
10 plans announced here a few days
ago. The island is from one to two
miles wide, and swings down the coast
line for more than 100 miles.
Under the plans announced it will
be developed by the George +. Young
Company, Inc, of Tampa, Ella. The
property was recently acquired
through option by T.. d. Nix of St
Louis from Colonel Sam Robertson, OF
Brownsville, who, for the last several
months has ben promoting a beach
highway down the island, and which
now is open to traffic for a short dis.
tance. The option acquired by Mr..
Nix covers $4,000 acres, the unit price
being $50 per acre. the total consid-
Grafton being S1,725,000. Colonel Rob.
ertson paid about one-quarter million
dollars for the property when he pur-
chased it from Pat f. Dunn, a few
months ago.
DEVELOP IN UNITS.
The Young Company, according to
announcement, plans to develop the
island in units, the first of which will
be 5000 acres, located on this end OF
the long strip. Il. L. Green, general
sales manager, was here the end of
last week. He said that lights, water
nd nth ,,ti L. n
to the island, and that large hotel,
golf courses, paved streets, and a sea
wall were included in the plans.
Mr.. Nix, it was said, has also Oh
tanned an option on 1000 acres on
the mainland, opposite the island, and
here nurseries will be installed in Or
der to furnish flowers and shrubs
for the island.
A concrete causeway will be con-
structed from the mainland. Colonel
Robertson stated, however, that he
would proceed with the erection Of a
wooden causeway from the mainland
TO the island, TO be used in connection
with the Ocean Drive project.
Sale Of the island will, in no way
interfere with the operation of the
iOuB uriFtWdy, sdlu COlOuel hODeTI-
son. Completion Of this project will
be rushed, he said.
PLAN SPEEDWAY.
The George +. Young Company,
Inc. according to information made
public here, has been active in de-
velopment projects around Tampa
and Miami, Fla.
Another project mentioned In con-
nection with the island project is the
erection Of speedway.
Mr.. Nix has been in correspondence
with W. ID. Jones Of Dallas, saying
that the latter has been in touch with
interests desiring to promote an au-
tomobile speedway in Dallas, and
that he thought they could be inter
ested in the island project here.
The representative Of the Young
Company has asked that local inter-
osts post sum of money, merely ms
an evidence of good faith. The sum
was not announced. It is understood,
however, that the required amount
has not only been pledged, but paid
into the hands Of the local commit
tee.

RED GROSS MAKING
 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Annual Campaign for Funds in Progress in PlainYille
 DISAPPEARS WITH MONEY
Joe Gnazzo Reported to Have Stolen S42 and Watch-Steel Cable Breaks at Thcater Building Church Notices-Briefs.

The Plalnville chapter of the American Red Cross is now con- ducting its annuals campaign for members and Chairman John F. Lamb has issued an appeal to resi- dents of the town to make the generous response which they have been accustomed to do in the past. Following precedent. there will be no houset toulouse canvass. The factories will canvass their em- pIoyes. however, and the merchants will also be personally solicited. There will be ample opportunity for others to take out their member ships. for booths will be established in the post office and the Plainville T.'ust Co. where contributions may be made. The drive will continue until November 23. w. A. Bailey will aid Chairman Lamb in direct ing the campaign.
 Out of each s1 membership 50 cents remains in Plainville and the other half is forwarded to national headquarters, while of Il other and larger donations all except 50 cents Is retained by the local unit. This is kept in reserve to meet a pos sible emergency, and while no such dire necessity has yet arisen here the possibility of one and the means of combating 1t are always to be prepared for. The Red Cross helps out locally in several smaller ways, such as aiding needy war veterans and others to meet temporary straitened circumstances: all such appeals are carefully investigated and those deserving of help receive 1t while fakirs are rebuffed.
 The nation wide work of the Red Cross is better known. It has prov ed of invaluable assistance in such disasters as the recent Miami hur- ricane and in floods, fires and plagues. It is hoped by the work CTS that Plainville will again re- spond to the call of this worthy or eanization and will set new rec ord for memberships.

CARTER DISCUSSES NEW BRITAIN BILL Doesn't Believe There Is Any
 Cause for Fur0re
 HASN'T BEEN DUNNED YET
Two Year Old Boys Dies After Short nIness-League Elects Nominat-
 ing Committee Big Bag of Game From Blue Hills Reported.

Tn an interview with First se- lectman George B. Carter in refer ence to the recent action of the New Britain fire board al which it was voted to give the local official a written notice that 30 days from that date interest would be charged on q debt of s7oO which had been outstanding for a considerable length of time. the leading mem- her of the local polite board stated that he could not see any reason for undue anxiety that the New Britain board would sever re- lations with the town and cut off fire service to this place.
 The selectman further stated that at one time in the towns his tory, $500 was owed by Berlin to New Britain and no action was taken by the board towards pay ment Carter stated that he had received no letter from the New Britain department up to that time and he believed that the action of the fire board had been over-em- phanzed and the situation was not as acute as was generally believed.
 New Britain knows that it will be paid In good time." Carter stated "and 1t is not worrying over the debt any more than Berlin is worrying over the payment of the amount. Upon receipt of the letter that is claimed 10 have been writ ten us, the matter will be taken up before the board of selectmen and acted upon but in the mean time Berlnites should not fear that fire service will be cut off from this town.
 "The best of feelings have all ways existed between this town and New Britain in regard to fire serv- ice from that city. Chief Noble has told me that although the New Britain department was not anxious to serve this town it would give Berlin service. I do not think that the feeling has changed in the least since he made that statement nor do I think there is cause for alarm in the present situation"
 The situation referred to arose from an action at the meeting of the New Britain fire board held in that city on Tuesday evening when the s700 debt was discussed by the members of the board. It was brought to the attention of the board by Clark Thomas Meskill that since the organization of the new board last May not a cent had come in from Berlin towards the payment of the debt. Clerk Meskill pointed out that the amount should be in the New Britain pension fund and drawing interest instead of be- ing liability on the books of the board. Chairman Dehm of the board stated that he was never anxious to see the New Britain ap- paratus leave 10 answer Berlin calls.
