practically no danger of their over
eating, says the United States Depart

siderable importance in the case of
sows which. are sucking their litters.
An additional advantage CT the celf-

 What, then. did they have that we miss?
 First of all. perhaps. they had a unity of purpose and a solidity of organization that it is hard to main tain in these latter days. The chap ter was the chapter, and many a tired companion went on foot and out of his way to attend its meet ings. They were small body, very serious and much in earnest. of ho- mogeneous ancestry, all well known to each other. and very much inter ested in each other, individually and in the chapter as whole.
 Secondly. it seems to me, the were much less reserved and muc' more outspoken, than we are il these times. unmasonic conduct was a thing that could be spoken oi without beating all round the bush. and to reprimand an erring brother, even in open lodge, was not infre- quent, though, if the truth must be known. it was not always done in the gentlest manner A spade was a spade. And there were some spades in those days.
 And the third thing that they had, probably, more than we, was a snugness, even a smugness, If yo' will, that was in many ways delight full"

Guests Present.

Among the distinguished guests present were the following members of the Grand chapter: G. Percival Bard, M. D., Stafford Springs; R. G.. Collins, Greenwich; William L. Cort. New Haven; George Duval, Meriden; Edgar B. Ellis, Bridgeport, and members of the grand council from Pythagoras chapter of Hartford. Eureka chapter of Waterbury, and Keystone chapter of Meriden. Bliss Clark. Jr.. of this city. who Is grand master councillor of the Order of DeMolay of New England, also was a guest.
 History of Chapter
 The history of the chapter given by William s. Fay was, In part, as follows:
 ITO picture, for moment, the be- ginnings of Giddings chapter. will you consider the town of New Brit ain, as 1t was in 1851, when the charter was granted by the grand chapter. Remember that it was only one year previous to this that New Britain had been divided from the township of Berlin and that it an- tedated the formation of the city of New Britain by 19 years. It was even before the old Baptist church was erected on the present sight of the National bank; the Humphrey house, with its great sloping roof. and wide front veranda and foun- tain in front, faced the village green, standing where the Hadley block is now; the South church, of course, was not built until l. years leater, and the Methodist church not until fl years later. The village bandstand where the soldiers monu- ment now is, every store with its hitching post to tie old Dobbin. while the family did its Saturday shopping. I say, family. for the man of the house shopped. too. in those days, and had not made his wife the family purchasing agent, as in these latter days. Streets filled with mud, and lighted at night by kerosene lanterns on posts.
 "But, what of those old men, whose faces told the most of human experience? Listen to their names: Loyal Dudley. Hezekiah Seymour, Emanuel Rapell. Ebenezer Wet more, Moses Becllley. Elisha Brandegee. Horace Camp. Ashobel Dickenson, Pliny Slater. Then go up to the lodge room, and look at their pictures,- whislers. whiskers, and still more whiskers. Why, those old duffers, had they any financial acumen, could have cornered the market on bird-nest soup. Poor old Moses, Ebenezer, and Ashobel, your whiskers have departed forever, we fear, along with your euphonious old Biblical names, and if your de- generate successors are not bald headed, they consider themselves blessed. to say nothing of boasting whiskers enough to fill hair pillow.
 "But whiskers, or no whiskers, human nature changes very little, and we find that Moses Ebenezer, and Ashobel, differ very little, after all from Frank, and Jim, and Bill.
 "For example. they had the same indomitable spirit of independence. When our old friend Lockwood (sacred to the memory of Frank Dohrenwend) codified the ritual of
New Britain herald., 1926-12-10
the chapter degrees. Giddings chan

the chapter degrees, Giddings chap ter had the proud distinction of be- ing the only chapter in the state of Connecticut that refused to invite the ritual committee or the grand chap ter to attend meeting to even ex- plain its ritual. Old Ebenezer pro- bably quoth through his whiskers: What. In the name of little fishes, has the state of Connecticut got to do with New Britain? And we feel, some of us, about the same way, now. Perhaps this is why our ritual Is probably little bit different from other chapters. It's ours. anyway.
 ''Then, too, our illustrious prede- cessors occasionally displayed that old Connecticut thrift which has not added much to the good reputation of the old Yankee. Some of these old timers may have had Jewish names, but their nervy scriminess was purely Yankee. You know the Jew looks pretty good against the background of some of our old Yankees. In so great a number as eighty thousand, it would be natural to suppose that some one would be defrauded: and at one time it look ed as though chapter of only fifty companions might also be imposed upon. One companion. the old rec ords tell, applied for financial as- sistance, and it was learned that if the chapter did not grant this assist ance, he would certainly have to take his own money out of the bank.
 T suppose that is what some of these old faces tell of human ex- perience.
 "When the city of New Britain ob- tained permission to construct water system, and it was proposed to run water main from Shuttle Meadow, Alvin North said it couldn't be done, and he offered to drink all the water himself that would ever be drawn from Shuttle Meadow to New Britain. But that was before the constitution had been amended for the 18th time.
 But, on the whole, think 1t is interesting to look back on those early days, and think too. that the chapter then had some things we miss today. Not that those days were the good old days. They were old, all right, but their goodness is another
