mously elected to club membership.

of the new books just reviewed and
mentioned a number worth while
buying in fivtiOn, biography auto
biography, anthology and phlloso-
ply. ..,.,,,
Mrs. Scott prefaced her remarks
nv saving Buying new books is
lottery; it is taking a leap IN the
dark. You are apt to find that even
those authors in whom you had per-
feet confidence are likely to betray
that confidence by following the Ia
mentable fashion of dipping their
mems in sewage instead of ink. she
urged that women help remedy the
notification of Objectionable litera-
ture by writing protests to the puD-
fishers of such books and stories.

ORGAN SCHOOL COURSE AS
 MUSIC PRIZE

Warren Hale is evidently to be taken into consideration when the youthful assets of New Britain are checked up. The young man promises to be a musician of re- nown, judging by his success in win ming a scholarship from a New York school of music as chronicled yes- terday in the Herald.
 Mir. Hale deserves the plaudits of his townsmen in his achievement, he has earned them through his knowledge of music and his technic as demonstrated before judges in New York. His chosen field of ven- ture has to do with an art, success in which means application and study more than that of other fields. It Is to be sincerely hoped that he progresses from his already high point and aids in bringing the con- munity in which he lives to public attention generally.
