LIGHTS SEEN FOR
 BENNINGTON ROAD Extension of WOrthingtOn Dis
 triCt for Improvements CLERGYMAN GETS DEGREE
Springfield Truck Driver Fined in Berlin Court - Funeral of Mrs Burke - Berlin Congregational Sunday School Picnic Saturday.

With the vote 10 extend the boundaries of the Warrington Fire district so as 10 meet the confines ol the kensington district, taken last evening at the annual meeting of the former organization, the way is clear for the placing of street lights along Pennington avenue from the Red Bridge to Foresters' hall, a sec ton which has not been served, here toforo. The step taken will prob ably allow the Connecticut Light and Power Co. to install lights when ever it sees fit, it is said.
 This improvement will be a great one which has been much needed for several years past. Farmingto on road from Jacobs corner to the Red Bridge is g dark and dismal stretch of thoroughfare at night and resi- dents have felt that lights should have been placed along there before now. However that section was not in either district and it was impos- sible to have the fixtures placed there.
 After some discussion at last nights session it was voted to eT- tend the boundaries of the Worth ington district 10 the northwest to meet the boundaries Of the Ken sington district on the land of the Bodwell Realty company, formerly the old Berlin fair grounds. This will provide many houses in that section with light and water. There has been a great deal of building in the section taken into the district last evening. The Pennington av- enue garage will also come within the confines of the district, The northwestern boundary was former ly the Matta boSsett river.
 In addition to extending the boundaries to the northwest, the district in response to petition from many residents, decided to eX- tend the southern boundary 800 feet south of Peter Farley road. The residents within that limit were anxious to have lighting facilities extended to them and it is not ex- pected that the water mains will be heightened in that direction at the present time.
 Frank l.. Wilcox, chairman of the district committee presided at the meeting which was not largely at tended. Lester F. Deming acted as clerk. MT. Wilcox, Pardon c. Hickey and Mortimer II. Rhodes were elected to serve as members Of the committee for the coming year. MT Wilcox and Mr. Hickey served on the committee last year, Mir Rhodes being new member. He fills the vacancy caused by the death of Francis Deming. Lester r. Dem ing was elected secretary. treasurer and superintendent of the district. The auditors Frederick Troup and Emil o. Shjerden, were reappointed.
 It was voted to lay tax of six mills. two for lights and four for water. the same as last year, This tax does not come due until next June. Reports for the past year were read and all departments were found to be in satisfactory condi- | ton, the financial report being eX- centionally encoura gins

Complete collapse of the human

view of the future for the children

Anderson declares that the span
Of life Is shortening through neglect
in Improvement of the race.
"There are two chief factors
which influence our lives. One Is
heredity and the other environ
ment. Upon the Improvement Of
the. latter by schools, colleges,
churches and social centers we
spend millions of dollars every
year, but to hered ty we give
scarcely a thought and as a re.
suit there is scattered over the
State of Illinois, as in every other
State, institutions for the crippled,
the blind, the deaf, the dumb, the
