 oiaht he true his experience Of mtr- ing towns in other sections is that no one should rely solely on min ing as the everlasting backbone as the permanent and ever growing industries, in this section so far as he can see is the Reindeer industry, and did not care who knew about it that he considered the efforts, loyalty and display of energetic endeavors in this respect of the Lomen family are worthy of com mendatiOn and success, He pro- phecied that the reindeer in this section will out reach gold in very few years. He warned the Chamber that their efforts must he directed to all other industries possible in this section as to develop permanent. lasting, per petuating industries. Fishing might develop in this section If the proposed survey now conteplated by our national government is carried out.

A beautiful ceremony was enacted this morning at 10 o'clock at St. Mary's church when a class of more than 400 boys and girls received the sacrament of confirmation al the hands of Auxiliary Bishop NJ.

 The girls in the class were dress cd in white with white veils while the boys wore white ribbons on their arm. Two by two they proceeded up the aisle to the solemn strains Of the organ each with bowed head and clasped hands.
 The bishop, clad in his robes of high office was seated on a throne at the top of the altar and the chil- dren approached him and knelt be fore him while the sponsors stood aside witnessing the confirmation of the souls as Christians. Having re ceiyed the reminding tap, the mem bers of the class filed slowly back 10 their seats by the side aisles.
 The body of the church was filled with relatives and friends of the girls and boys and the occasion pre- sented one of the most solemn and impressive spectacles of the entire church year.

UNKNOWN SOLDIER
 COMES ID LYCEUN
Is One Of Ten Classics Of the
 1926 Movie Season

''The Unknown Soldier" and Out of the storm" are the Lyccum head liners starting Sunday, while for the last half of next week this movie house presents The Checkered Flag with Elaine Hammcrstein. and Forbidden Waters" starring the viyacious Priscilla Dean.
 "The Unknown Soldier" is q pie ture story of love, war and peace, filled with tears, laughs and expect ancy. In the leading roles arc Charles Emmett Mack, Marguerite De La Motto and Henry B. Walthall. The story, in brief. concerns one Fred Williams, q mill worker, who enlists at the outbreak of the World War. He is madly in love with Mary Phillips, daughter Of his en- ployer. Over in France Williams again meets Mary, doing relief work, and renews his protcstations of love. His love is returned and the two are married by an army chaplain but when it is too late Mary learns that the chaplain was a deserter and the ceremony was not binding. She vainly tries 10 mo- tify Fred but he has volunteered for q hazardous duty, starts across No Mans Land and is not seen again. Comes the end of the war but Fred is missing. Mary lNturns homo with her child and il is at this gripping point that the story takes an uneX- pected turn and develops one of the most dramatic climax scenes imag inable.
 The scenes in "The Unknown Sol dier" are historically correct and in the war action sets the bursting Of shells. the flare of rockets and the machine gun fire makes a setting of dramatic intensity. As the pie lure hears the end comes the scenes of the burial of the Unknown Sol di,.' at Arlington. Mary. her child and Fred's mother attend, believing 1t possible that this unknown hero may be the man they loved. It is during this sacred service that the stupendous climax occurs.
 Jacqueline Logan, Edmund Burns, Tyrone Power and Montague Love all have | .e parts in "Out of the Storm" a narrative of a girls un- dying love and inc great battle she fought to save the life of the man she married. The story tells of the many GbStaCleS q young couple had 10 overcome before they could live in peace and happiness after stormy courtship and marriage. chain of circumstances both young people become involved in shooting affray that ends tragi- cally for one and nearly sends the young husband 10 his doom.

Greatest Interpreter of Lincoln

New Britain has a veritable feast of features in store in the presenta- tion of the Chautauqua the entire week beginning June 1f at Walnut Hill Par,
 The tremendous increase in the demand for a ission tickets can
 be justly attributed to the success
 ful efforts Of the officials in charge ! to take the talk" out Of Chau-
 ,auQua.
 The outstanding feature of the
 New Britain engagement is the pre- scntatiol of the remarkable play of
 John Drinkwatcr, Abraham Lin coln." Frank McGlynn In the title role has won everlasting fame for his truly amazing portrayal of The Great Emancipator. Seldom has play of the historical type made so profound an impression with it's
 tensely ~matic moments of gen. uine gripping appeal. There is only one play like Abraham Lincoln"
 and only one Frank McGlynn. The combination is said to be irresist- i iblc.
 Another big feature of this week 1 of masterpieces of real entertain lment, is the hilarious comedy of home life, "Applesauce," by Barry Corners. To hear Papa rasp. and | Mamma squawk. and to see the 1 family battle in full tilt is indeed
 another illuminating example of supposedly typical American home 1 life. Daughter and her beaus and : Bill McAllister, the enterprisng young loafer, good natured withai iare easily responsible for the laugh a minute that this sure fire comedy hit promises and delivers. The play has an excellent cast. perfectly cos tuned, and in every way ranks as i a first class production.

 FINDS NEW CHAMPION
(Continued From Page 1.)

Young people need amusement and the church by trying to supply such needs is losing out on the spiritual side. If the church would stick to its main business and the other organizations would stick to theirs, the spiritual work would progress faster"
 Rev. Emil Berger of Bridgeport has been elected clerk, It was re- ported at the session last evening that the church is increasing in at tendance and finances. Mrs, Louise Bullmann of Madison was introduced to the convention as the new matron of the Young Peoples home at Madi- son. Mrs. Bullman was formerly matron of the Old Peoples home in Philadelphia.
 A defense of modern young peo- pie was made this morning hy Ed ward w. kieswetter, New Britain architect. Mr. KieSwetter stated that newspaper reports of activities and actions of the modern young person cannot be accepted as a criterion, since newspapers are in terested only in the unusual or the situation which is not normal.
 He said the newspaper story can not be accepted as an indication Of the average life or normal living con- ditions of young people since average things do not make news stories He asked his hearers not 10 judge all young folks by newspaper reports of individuals.
