Practical Joke Costly
 For ParChim ReVellers

It is not safe to play Q practical joke on tax collector in Germany, even in carnival time. At Parchim in Meckienburg, three joyous ravel- lers. masauerading as Frederick the Great, complete with his famous crutch- handled cane. his court marshal and his master of cere- monies, invaded the office of the To- cal tax collector. who had made himself unpopular on account of his chronic reluctance in allowing ahate- nlentS.
 "Old Fritz,' as all historians agree, had a free and easy way with his cane. and his impersonator had learned his part to a nicety The up- shot of it all was that the local court, considering 1t was carnival time. imposed on the roysterers a lenient fine Of 100 marks each flor insult and injury" but higher court trehled the fine. with an alter native of % days Imprisonment, plus costs.

commission believes, and it is cher ishing it's project in the hope of carrying it out at some future date
 The proposed alternate route would diverge from the existing one at the East Main street crossing in ricd out. and would end at Corbn avenue in this city. The town of Plainville already owns major part of the right of way. but this is not improved and there is little right of-way In this city. A similar situation exists on this side of the town line.
 Route Of Boulevard
 II is planned to have the boule- yard run beside the trolley tracks along Pine street and Woodford av- enue in Plainville. passing the in- portant factories Of the Trumhull Electric Mfg. Co.,. and the Standard Steel and Bearings, Inc. At Whites crossing it would either continue along Woodford avenue extension, at present little better than q COW path, or would swing across the tracks and run along the existing road there until fl reached the tow Il line at what Is known ns "Sharp's."
 The present road ends here, but it is planned 10 have the boulevard pass along the southern shore of White Oak pond and, still paral- lelling the trolley tracks. come into Barnesdale on Warren street. This section would also benefit by the planned roadway From Wooster street 1t would continue with the tracks past the Hart X Hutchinson factory and terminate as it swung into Corbin avenue from Hubert street.
 AS said above, no steps have yet been taken to further the creation largely a fisment of imagination. Yet the idea IS concrete enough for Chairman John r.. Lamb of the Plainvilla town plan commission 'o fight 2 possible obstruction which threatened 10 d. v-fop at recent hearings over the elimination of th" grade railroad crossings in Plain vile. IT these crossings are abolish cd. th" projected road takes on q greater importance. as 1t will be q much better east-and- west rout. than that which now exists. Even if the crossovers are lefts as at present. the alternate boulevard will hay" the advantage of not crossing the railroad tracks as the present high way does.

CONSIDERING NEW
 PLA|NV|LLE ROUTE
Project, Still Far Of, Would
 Quickly Develop Territory

4 second highway leading vest ward from New Britain to Plainville is envisioned by the Plainville town plan commission and other officials Of the neighboring town and. while no definite plans to advance the project are being made, the com mission is alert 10 block any move which might interfere with it's pet plan"
 The purpose of the proposed boulevard" as it is known, would be two-fold: to establish a second route as an alternate to the present highway between the two places and 10 provide an outlet for the settle ment.s in the eastern end of Plain vile, encouraging development in that direction. The volume Of trat iic along the existing road between New Britain Is not only large but it is also composed Of two sorts Of traffic which directly interfere with other fast -travelinR pleasure and delivery cars and the heavy. slow lHDfiHR liuths pl tIlt SAili anu 'idi rock companies located along and near th. highway. This results in a great deal of "cutting out and in as the speedier vehicles pass the numbering trucks, while frequently the former are retarded by th. slow progress of the latter The sec- oni highway would be less used by trucks, it Is believed. and could be employed by passenger vehicles as q rapid travel artery.
 New Homo Developments
 The second and more important is also responsible for the suggested location of the proposed boulevard. placing it south Of the present high way. The geographical center Of Plainvilla Is well to the east of the business hub, and the town is devei- oping and must have it's future de- velopment toward the rising sun. There are many settlements anl new streets in the cast end of Plain vile. and the town plan conmis- sion is constantly being faced with problems regarding expension in that direction. The Mountain View, Whites Crossing. and West wood Park districts al present have no di- rect eastward outlet and their resi- dents can reach New Britain only by poor and circuitous roads. The proposed boulevard would form A direct means of communication with both Plainville and New Britain would increase property values in eastern PIainville. and would great ly speed up it's d"YeIopm "nt. the

With Mrs. James w. Glassford
giving a remarkably fine intcrprc-
tation of the role of Olivia, and
Mrs. \. b. Hanson as Casario dcliv-
ering the message of the Duke, Or
sino, this scene was particularly
we'll done. Able support was given
by Mrs. Osborne. lady in waiting to
Olivia, and Mrs. NJ. J. Dowd as
Maria, a servant.
The scene was made decidedly at
tractivc by the rendition of song
from the play, IF Music be the
Food of Love, Play On given by
Mus. Osborne, accompanied by Mrs.
Cster
Mrs. GlassfogG 5 characterization
in this scene was worthy of special
mention, her manner being free
from artificial restraint and marked
by realism which made her an
incarnation of the beautiful Olivia.
Decided credit was reflected on
Mrs. HirkcoX for her work IN train
ing the members, cutting the scenes
and planning costuming and stage
arrangement. Costumes were de-
cidedly effective, particularly that
of Lady Macbeth.
During the bricf business session
following the luncheon, announce
ment of a number of club activities
were made. The treasurer 5 report,
given by Mrs. Guy G. Bcvnon and
followed by the report of the audit

The banishmcnt scene was the
one presented by the section, the
great love Of Celia and RoSalind be
ilrg shown. Miss Agnes Ferris took
the part of Rosalind and Mrs. Con-
tos. that of Celia. Miss Ferris was
decidedly successful in her role.
while Mrs .Contos was equally pleas
ing. Mrs. Edwin O. Carter as Duke

Scene from Macbeth
From Macbeth the we'll known
sleep walking scene was reproduced
with Mrs. d. B. Roberts in the role
Of Lady Macbeth. The atmosphere
of the tragedy, preceding the scene
was given by Mrs. Jacobs. \ brief
resume of the plot which is partic-
ularly we'll known for the deliberate
and INSCRIPTIONS sacrifice of every
virtue by Lady Macbeth to advance
her. her ambition to make her lord
king, in place of Duncan of Scot
land was included.
The whole career of Lady Mac
beth in the play is one long mental
war, the strain ending as such
strain should end, in madness. Mrs.
Roberts, who has been conspicuous
for her intelligent Interpretation of
Shakesperian roles in former pro
ductions given by the section, added
to her previous reputation by her
excellent reproduction of this diff
ficnlt character.
The selection from Twelfth Night.
again introduced by Mrs. Jacobs,
was that charming scene where the
beautiful Olivia, beloved by the
Duke Orsino. governor of the coun-
try where the plot is laid, is being
wooed by his Messenger, Casario.
Casario, all unknown to the duke. is
Viola who with her twin brother.
Sebastian, has been ship wrecked on
the coast of Illyria Both brother
and sister believe the other to be
dead, and Viola, lacking a protector
in the strange land, has disguised
herself as a boy. But her maiden s

soon finds herself required to plead

while she herself is secretly in love
with him.
