Much of the success Of the Am phion club at the Senior High school has been due to the ardent efforts of Mrs. Amy c. Guilford, club supervisor since she came to the school in 1918. She has brought the club from obscurity to it's present high place, both socially and finan- cially.
 Following the retirement from the service of the school of Mrs. Nc Graw, Mrs. Guilford took over the advisorship of the senior mid-year class and the activities preceding graduation were all held under her supervision. The class which receives diplomas this evening despite it's size will leave the school without a
 deficit.
 Mrs. Guilford was graduated from Chelsea High school and Boston University. She taught French when she first came to the school but at the present time she teaches prob lens of democracy and German classes,

SUMMER HOMES AT LAKE BOON BURN
Three Are Destroyed With Loss
 of $40,000

Hudson, Mass. Jan. 2s (UP)- A summer lodge and two cottages on Lake Boon were destroyed by fire today at $40,000 loss.
 Two other cottages were threaten led, but, after a, three hour battle, firemen believed the flames had been controlled.
 Mrs. Frank Wilson, wife of the Boston Braves outfielder. discovered the fire, which started from undeter- mined cause in Lake Boon lodge, a 14-room structure.
 Before flremen arrived from this town, the fire had enveloped the en- tire building and despite their efforts, the flames spread to the Alhambra cottage and the cottage of Mrs. Thomas P. Hurley of Marlboro. Both these buildings were destroyed.
 Lake Boon lodge was owned by Bartholomew Dooley of Brighton. None of the buildings were occupied.

'I have yet to meet an author, no matter how famous. who is not pleased to have one of his stories filmed" MT. Roberts said. Yet this is one of the most dangerous ten- dencies among novelists today.
 When their story is sold for film ing. it might be compared to a corpse for it is immediately dissect- ed and loses all resemblance to its former self. When, then. a writer, has sold and subscribed his name to a product which is no longer his, he gradually loses his essential integ- rity.
 Tt is a well known story in Lon don that John Galsworthy saw the filming of one of his books along with several other pictures and failed to recognize which was his own product"

PUBLISHERS TEST i READERS WANTS
Find Majority Demand Browning Trial Accounts

New York, Jan. 2S (UP)-That supreme court of censorship. the great American public. has decided 1t must have It's Browning case.
 Honking African ganders may be foolish: rubber eggs absurd; there may be no particular point to the picture of a middle-aged millionaire said-papering shoe trees all night; and lot of the testimony may be such that it can't we'll be discussed around the fireside-at least not un- til the children have gone to bed.
 But be that as it may. with varia- tions of degree in various parts of the country, the public has decided it wants to read all about Daddy" Browning and his wife, Peaches.
 Accordingly, with a few exceptions, American newspapers are giving gen. erous space to this remarkable TO- nance.
 The Christian Science Monitor is the only major eastern newspaper which has excluded the Browning story entirely from its columns.
 The Washington Evening Star an- nounced that acting on the convic- ton that full details of the Brown ing trial are not proper material to appear In its columns, the Star will print only such facts as contain gen. uine news value." It printed about three-quarters of a column yester- day-with court not in session.
 In the south. St. Petersburg. Fla, Times has excluded the story en- tirely with the simple declaration that it was sanitary measure"
 Oklahoma City has proven the city where the Browning case has been least to the taste of newspaper read ing public as interpreted by editors. The News, Times and Oklahoman of that city all have excluded the story on the grounds that it is ''salacious.
 With those exceptions which have developed to date. the public is get ting its daily recital of how the Browning family is getting along with it's troubles.
 But probably New York, being the home town of the principals, pre- sents the most interesting study in how the public is being served.
 The Times carries the story inside; the Herald Tribune and World give it page one position. The Evening World, Telegram and Sun all give large, front page prominence to the story. So do the Brooklyn papers the Times, Standardization, Citizen and Eagle.
 And the tabloid newspapers have found the Browning case subject on which they cannot dwell too heavily.
 In New York, on the subWays. in the theaters. in the restaurants. wherever people congregate, the Browning case has eclipsed every thing else as a topic of conversation. It has no real competitor. l Reporters assigIied to the case and who are supposed to know the real inside dope" have become celebri- | ties among their acquaintances. They receive letters, telegrams and tele- phone calls begging for the Tow down on Daddy and Peaches" Meantime morning newspaper has begun a campaign to exclude exotic pictures and magazines from sale.
 A bill has been introduced in con- gress along the same line.
 A play. dealing with, sex eccen- tricities, has been taken from the stage before presentation after be- ing in rehearSal two weeks.

REMINGTON NEWS

The annual meeting of the Center fire district will be held in the town hall, Thursday, February 3. at s o'clock. The district buys its water from Hartford which has changed its date of payment. Because of this the water bill which will be due shortly will cover several months more than usual and will probably necessitate the local district levying an additional charge this year. Two years ago a tax of 21a mills was charged but because of surplus of s1G6, it was decided not to charge last year. E. A. Elliott, treasurer of the district. thinks that the charge will not be large because of the in creased number of customers. Not long ago there were only S5 patrons but this number has increased with in few years to 1G5.
 A joint meeting of the Newington Congregational church and the Ec- clesiastical society will be held i'm mediately after the morning service Sunday.
 Rev. John A. Moir, temporary pastor, will preach the sermon as usual Sunday morning and Herbert l.. Welch will lead the meeting of the Christian Endeavor in the eve ming at the parish house.

EUGENICS MARRIAGE
BILL FACES DEFEAT
Surprise Move in Kansas Senate
Heads Measure Toward
Graveyard.
BY the Associated Press.

Hy the Associated Press.
TOPEKA, kans., February 19.-The
eugenics marriage bill. which, among
other things. would require every
bridegroom to prove he has at least
81 900 before he could get a marriage
license in Kansas, is headed again for
the legislative graveyard.
1t happened so Unexpectedly in the
course of parliamentary procedure in
the state Senate that even the author
of the bill voted for the motion which
is expected to mean death to the
measure.
House bill No. 102, the eugenics bill,
was on the Senate calendar ready for
debate Senator Finley of Chanute,
chairman of the Senate judiciary COM
mittee, asked that his committee be
given q chance to check the legality of
No. 102. Put to a, question, unanimous
approval was given with only a few
Senators realizing it was the eugenics
bill they were dealing with.
The committee killed the bill earlier
in the session, but it was introduced
in the House, passed and sent to the
Senate. Senator Finley said his com
mittee would kill it again.
It was not until after the bill was re
referred that it's author. Senator Par.
ker of Emporia, realized what had
been done.

BRlTAIN'S RUBBER PLAN
] EXPLAINED BY ENVOY
Policy Measure of Protection Not
Price-Fixing, Counselor Brod-
erick Declared.


NEW YORK, February 19.-Great
BrStain's restriction on expectation of
rubber was described here by Joyce
Broderick, commercial counselor to the
British embassy at Washington, as "a
measure of protection not a price
fixing monopoly.
Speaking at the first annual dinner
of the New York Rubber Exchange,
Mr.. Frederick said the restrictive move
was made with the sole purpose of
saving an important industry from too
harsh working Of the law of supply
and demand not ito push up prices
of the greatest commodity of the EN-.
pire."
He compared the action to efforts of
the United States to reduce acreage
and regulate production of wheat and
cotton, upon which other nations are
dependent.
Expressing the hope that American
capital may flow into British concerns
financing production of crude rubber
Mr.. Frederick said this would tend to
make the American viewpoint not
merely one Of the consumer, but also
of the producer of rubber" and would
help take the hard edges out Of the
situation

among them being Mrs Washington
Howard. the last member of the fam
| lily born at Mount Vernon.
| In 1926 the benefit was called IAN
Evening Of Music at Mount Vernon"
Then. too. the students in architecture

SUM the music room at Mount Yer
non, where, before an audience that
taxed the big room, Carmela Ponselle

songs, and other artists contributed to
make the event truly representative
Of those days at the estate upon the

dent of George Washington Univer
