RAIN HALTS BATTLE
 OF GETTYSBURG

The battle of Gettysburg had to be called off on account of rain and a muddy field
 All of which means that Raymond Griffith and several hundred Union and Confederate soldiers remained en- camped on the spacious Mojave Desert for an extra week until this impor; ant episode of his newest Paramount starring picture, "Hands Up" could be filmed to the satisfaction of 3i- rector Clarence Badger. Old Sol fin. ally smiled and allowed the battle to be refoueht and Che company Co re turn to civilization.
 Raymond Griffith is rolhckin 3 Confederate spy in this new comedy Arrayed with the Union forces against him are Montagu Love and Mack Swain George Billings appears as Abraham Lincoln.
 IL remained for Director Badger and Griffith to evolve new film triangle " The high hat comedian is shown to be in love with two beau tiful girls, Marion Nixon and Virgin la Lee Gorbin. Both are in love with him and yet each girl deeply admires her rival for the flashing young sol dier's affections. How Griffith solves this romantic problem is the pictures outstanding highspot.

Washington, D. C., March l6.-The settlement of the claim of the First National Bank of Putnam against tho directors of the bank for s25. 900 car ried further indication this week that the business of strengthening out the financial tangles of that institution is proceeding apace. Washington au- thorities believe that Federal Receiver Coffin IS making progress and that matters are getting settled up.
 The settlement of the clam against the directors did not come till after considerable negotiation. It is under stood-though streasury officials don't care to commit themselyes-thatt the bank directors first made an offer of 1 Sl 5000. This was turned down. Lat CT they suggested s20 900. This was turned down. Then came the S25. .000 proposal which the comptroller of the currency was ready to accept.
 Connecticut Judgeship
 Another event of the last few days has been the reported willingness of | Congressman Freeman to accept ap- paintment ta the extra federal judge ship which this Congress is expected to provide for Connecticut. Mir Free. man won't say that he is candidate | but he won't deny that he would ac. cept the position if offered him. One report has it that one or two promi. nent men. and friends of the Roraback machine. would like to represent the second district in Congress, and that Mir. Rorabaek Is considering the idea of getting Mir. Freeman out of the way by giving him the iudgeship. Mir Freeman has been most quiet mem. ber of Congress. by the way
 Frederick H. Wiggin of New Haven is getting much mention here as a pos sibility for the iudgeship. Several others are talked of, including Floor Leader Tilson. who is not after the po- sition. The job is an attractive one being for life. and Congress is now considering raising :he salary of such iudgeships from S7.500 to SIP. 500 or Sl0.000 a year. Mr. Freeman states that he will support Col. Tilson if the latter is a candidate But Tilson isn't
 An obstacle to the appointment go- ing to Freeman lies in the statute that no member of Congress can accept ap- pointment te an office which has been creoted or the pay thereof raised dur ing the term for which he was elected to Congress. If Freeman is selected the appointment could not bc made for about a year. or till after this term of Freeman'S ends. And in view of the cry that an extra judge is badly and immediately required in Connecticut such delay might prove embarrassing to the state machine.
 Change In Senatorial Situation
 Recent days have seen a manifest change come over the senatorial situ- ation. Where. short time back. it was very likely that Senator Bingham would meet opposition for renomina- tion, today it is an even guess whether he will. All of which consummation is due to the strenuous and so far sue

Entire Trunk Line system to Be Re
 constructed

The entire trunk line highway sys- tenn of Connecticut will undoubtedly have to be reconstructed within eight or ten years if tho state is Co keep pace with the wear and tear of motor sportation. according to a state ment issued by the state highway de- partment This would call for an expenditure of approximately S7O,- GOO GOO 1t is estimated, which would require every cent of funds already in sight and would not include bridge improvements.
 There are about 400 miles of roadway in the present so-called trunk line system of which $50 are yet un- built and for which the state has no appropriation of funds to construct.
 With the state reasonably well cov- cred by trunk line roads, the main problem facing the highway depart ment concerns the reconstruction of existing routes, it is pointed out. The department feels that whereas it's chief mission previously might have been to reach out and make all points of the state accessible to modern motor traffic, now it has become neees- sary Co make adequate for some years hence the roads already laid out.
 4 tentative program for recon structing the 400 miles now in use has been prepared by the department, in which # is estimated the within the next two years an aggregate of 2o6 miles should be rebuilt, in the following two years yeriodfi 436.4 miles t is believed. should be recon structed h the two years after that or six years hence. the rebuild of G4I miles would be called for and in the next two years. or eight years from now, 222 miles are allotted for reconstruction.
 This covers the entire 400 miles which on the basis of present day increases in traffic and population will be in need of reconstruction, and without taking into consideration the new highways which undoubtedly will have Co be built to take care of the increase in the number of motor vehi- cles and in population.
 We have a wonderful investment in Connecticut in our highways, Commissioner John A. Macdonald said and to avoid waste of funds, 4t will be a wise policy for the state to protect that investment and keep the state in he same prosperous eOndi- 1 tiou it now enjoys.
 "The saturation points in automo- bile traffic and progress in the build l ing of highways have not yet reached the limit, he said.

Peace emissaries from Rorabaek have been in Washing ton on sundry occasions the last few weeks and months, one of them being Lieut.-Gov. Brainard.
 The state machine is doing it's best to smooth the way for Bingham. Floor Leader filsen, most formidable of the possible candidates for the senatorial nomination against Bing- ham. others being Congressman Mer- ritt of Stamford and States Attor- ney. apparently victorious in his fight to get Gerald Chapman hanged. are staying silent. He won't say whether he plans to run.

PUTNAM NEEDS A
 GET TOGETHER CLUB

 Means
Work to Bring Back Pay Roll and
 Prosperity
Communication

fNhilf4HiitAAAbiA
 To fhe Editor of Tie Putnam Patriot |.
 My very wise father used to say that no lawyer in Putnam should ever bring an action against his own town unless it were for the public interest, and that in every way he should advise for the interest of his community and not profit thereby.
 My time is too occupied with my own business interests at the presen. time to share in the burdens of public administration even if it was desired that should do go.
 Permit me to advise in all sincerity that the house owners, house renters and tax payers should sit up and take notice in two matters. First. the mat ter of taxation. which l have not time at present to go into, but which is all important; second. the question Of water supply and fire protection.
 have faith to believe that the may or and common council will work ont scheme within the limits of the means of the city so that adequate fire protection will be furnished within a reasonable cost. If the proposition al ready presented by the board of water commissioners lN HIhiAAAAAtl k' AtAt AAhf l hope that the tax payers will vote "No."
 Use Local Experts
 do not know the experts retained by the board of water commissioners. but my experience has been that high ly paid experts are extravagant. We have competent engineers within the State of Connecticut whose local pride would require recommendations eff cient and still within the limits of the means of the community to adopt The Chamber of Commerce Is constantly calling our attention Go the fact that We should trade locally Why not re tain local experts on the water ques- tion who are res sidents of the state and within easy communication and who will have local pride in their work l have had a large experience in water problems in the middle west. in the south. and through the New England states. and t has been my experience that much is Co be saved and more efficient work accomplished by employ ing experts having local Knowledge and local interests.
 In recent matter concerning E Wa ter company in a community about the size of Putnam adopted the princi- ples above set forth, and we are to accomplish exactly what is needed at less than one-fifth If the cost set forth in the report of the highly paid ex- perts.
 Get Together Club
 What we need in Putnam is Get Together Club formed br the voters We shall never get anywhere if the people do n0t work together.
