Thursday night with a fine banquet
in the banquet room at Odd Fellows
hall, served at $50 o'clock by Mrs.
Florence Norton King, caterer, there
being a large attendance. The ses-
sion, while most enjoyable, was cut
short that all might attend the il
Illustrated lecture of Macmillan. the
famous Arctic explorer, in Music
hall. This lecture was most inter-
esting, including eight reels Of mo-
ton pictures of the far North, and
was secured by the management of
the Pennington State Normal school
after repeated efforts. Seats were
first reserved for the faculty and
those members of the school who go.
after which the balance of the house
was sold to the the general public.

A little reviewing Of recollection
will reveal somewhat Of a contrast
between what is now being said
about the successful development of
our highway system and that which
was said when those in charge were
struggling to make the right kind of
a beginning and establish a system
adequate to the needs. In those
days most of US thought we knew
just what was the right thing to do
and how to do it. We now feel that
we know the right '-'rg to be a con-
tinalation OF the system begun, but
we are not so sure that we know how
to build road better than does the
State Highway Department.

Poorly Aimed
(Rnstnn Pocfl

The radical London Daily Herald
states that America has not under
capitalism discovered the secret of
high wages and permanent pros
perity." This Is meant to be sharp
criticism but it does not sting very
much. Russia under communism,
Germany under mild form of State
socialism, and Italy under a drastic
dictatorship have also failed to find
any panacea for making people per-
manently prosperous. This country
has come so much nearer to the goal
than any other that the Herald's
criticism actually amounts to a con-
fesSion that capitalism is better than
any other system just at present on
trial.

 lotments

A threatened shortage in the spring supply of baby chicks because of a lack of fuel supplies for heating breeders has been averted Co some eN. tent by the securing of T quantity ot nut coal by the state department Of agriculture. The coal WAS secured through the cooperation of the goNer= nor's coal committee. and il IS hoped that the supply will be sufficient for noultrymen who are running brood CTS until shipments can be received from the mines
 Normally 2,000 000 early chicks are matched each year during this season and ? .0a0 tons or more of pea and nut coal are necessary in the operation of Che breeders. The agricultural de partment has checked up the tndiz vidual needs. and, with the help of the committee headed by Major Frank II. Johnson of New Britan, expects to obs tain sufficient supplies.
 The coal will be distributed by dealers in Hartford. New Haven Bridgeport. New Britain. New Lon. don and Norwich In order to pro. cure the individual allotments 1t will be necessary t0 secure written order from the state department. These will be issued for 900 pound lots up on application Information concern. ing the number of chickens Co be rear ed previous to April and later, the number of brooder stoves Co be oper- ated and the capacity of the brooders must be given with each application.

have liked Co have seen Mr Gilnatrie privately and would like to have been accorded the same privilege given the receiver. but it was Hot Co be and do not think it would have done much good except that it might possibly have given me some leads whereby might have helped both the receiver and my clients. l do not think t ad- visable for me to attempt Co get these leads in public hearing One has got to be decent to his friends and to those who are innocent
 Out With the Truth
 "On the day it was determined to bring Giipatric from Atlanta l Was frankly informed tnot by youl that I would not be allowed to question him. l had given in most of my in formation as Co the banks affairs and considered it merely a tempest in teapot At the same time l had been instrumental in making Gilpatric cashier of the bank and considered had a duty to perform and wrote Gil- patric seven page letter telling him that he had not helped where he could help and not Co adhere to any advice his personal counsel might have giv en him or might give him. but to come cut and tell the whole truth. make clean breast of the whole affair and assist in every possible way.
 Il submitted the letter to the coua- sel for the receiver. and. in fact. he mailed the letter. II seemed to me that |. above all others. ought to de. mand of Gilpatrie that he should help
 'I hope he has given the receiver leads which will assist him What ever assistance Gilpatric may have given the receiver does not, of course, concern the bankruptcy court except insofar as t may lead to reeoveries by the trustee in bankruptcy.
 To Come Across
 "It seems to me that after my per. sonal letter to Gilpatrie and my les- ter to au. made public. Gilpatrie ought to have been influenced to come across with the truth.

NOW ASSOCIATE JUSTICE
Judge HinmAn Formally Take. Seat
 on Supreme Court Bench


 As Justice John E. Keeler of Stam- ford on Friday stepped from the bench of the supreme court of CT TOTS. where for the past four year, he had been an associate justice Judge George F.. Hinman of Willi mantle formally began his six year term as a justice of that court to which he was appointed some months ago Justice Keeler reached the age limit for justices, 70 years, on the day of his retirement from the bench
 Six years ago Judge Hinman was appointed tO the superior court bcnch one of the youngest judges in Che state. In effect the vacancy caused by Judge Hinmap's advancement will be filled by Edward NJ. 4eomans of Andover. former referee in bHnh ruptcy for Hartford county
 Many changes have taken place m the states judiciary iu the past r." years The fact that Judge Hinmah after but six years as trial judge becomes member of the highest legal tribunal in Connecticut, is eyi dence of how fast the personnel of the judges changes. This will con. tinue for several years more and m all probability in very short tilne the justices of the supreme court will be comparatively young men.
 In the passing of Judge Hinman tc the supreme court Windham county is without representation on the su- perior court bench.

Thomas F.. O'Donnell was the speaker at a public meeting of Put. nam Aerie of Eagles held in Eagles Hall. Providence street. Saturday night. Mr. 0'Dennell was here to further the campaign of the order f II old age pensions for all employees After outlining the benefits of the order which are attracting a continu- ing stream of new members Mr. O. Donnell concluded his address as follows.
 "Our campaign to secure justice for aged workers was begun three years ago when the Grand Aerie of the F.. O. F. appointed a National Old Age Pension Commission and subsequently, appropriated to it's use the interest amounting to substantial number of thousands of dollars annually, on a permanent fund of the Grand Aerie The plan of the work has been to sci the acts of old age poverty before the public in community meet ings. by the distribution of command ing literature. and by the enlistment of the major parties and their eandi- dates on the side of legislation 10 establish old age pensions m each CT the states In this way We have sue ceeded to such an extent that we no longer have any doubt of the out. come Three states now have old age pension laws. In twenty -siN other states bills are pending.
 Tt can be confidently affirmed thai wherever an Aerie is organized and grows strong in membership ite h. mane policies are very soon felt ln every home of that city There afs more good times for everyone less poverty. and more help for the Red Cross. the Salvation Army, the church. es. and other welfare agencies. There are more patriotic celebrations of national holidays. And there is the glowing prospeet-not far off old age pensions for those who have travelled a hard journey and can toil no further.

Attorney J. F. Carpenter of this city. counsel for large creditors of the First National Bank. has written a second letter Co Saul Borman. referee in bankruptcy. in which the Putnam attorney sets forth more of his views on the way the matter of Gilpatric's questioning has been handl- ed
 Mr. Carpenter repeats that he mas given the receiver full information as to his knowledge of the bank 8 affairs While he did not consider his appearance at the hearing very important he would have liked to have been there so as to have known exactly the plans.
 Mir Carpenter again states that the questioning of Gilpatric without having either the trustee or referee present is illegal and that in his Opin- ion the transcript of the records of the hearing in Putnam. taken by an ordinary stenographer. can not leg ally be made a part of the bankrupt proceedings. He says that neither he. nor any lawyer of standing. would go before such a hearing take the chance of having his client bound by state ments made by the bankrupt under such circumstances. He Is glad, how ever. that the receiver of the bank was allowed opportunity to privately question Gilpatric concerning the af- fairs Of the bank but states that there has been much criticism of the inves- tigation being carried on in the re- ceiver's absence.
 Mir. Carpenters letter continues.
