 As Guests.

The Woodstock League of Women Voters was hostess to the town ofii- cials of Woodstock at a Discussion Supper" on "E.iiciency in Govern ment" held at the Community Club, East Woodstock, Wednesday, June 2J. About seventy-five persons were pres ent. including most of the officials of Woodstock. After supper the presi- dent of the Woodstock League, Mrs. Adelaide r. Merritt. spoke a few words of welcome to the guests, later intro ducing Miss Sally Fanny Gleaton, field secretary of the State League of Wom- en Voters, who led the discussion on the topic of the evening.
 Miss Gleaton. before taking up this subject, gave a brief outline of the purpose of the League of Women Vot- CTS. explaining that it is an organiza- tion of women who believe that democ- racy can succeed only through an in- telligent electorate, that the League has two purposes, 10 foster education in citizenship, and to support needed legislation--that 1t is non-partisan, and urges every woman to become an enrolled voter in the party of her choice.
 After this brief explanatory talk as Co the purpose of the League. Miss Gleaton spoke upon the subject under discussion, Efficiency in Government" 1" touching briefly on the following sub. jects: The presidential primary and national nominating conventions; tax ation; methods of amending the cons stitution; shorter ballot; federal suffrage in the District of Columbia. and a merit system of civil service. Miss Gleaton also said few words on completing the franchise in Connecti- cut, by giving women jury duty, ex- planning how twenty-three states had passed such n law and that jury ser vice for women Is another step to- ward universal justice, for which the American nation stands.
 Miss Gleaton touched briefly on the 1921 Juvenile Court Act" in Connec- tieut, which was extended by the 1927 legislature to. every town in the state, stipulating that in dealing with chil- dren under sixteen, juvenile court procedure must be used in communi- ties where no such courts exist, by the justices of the peace and probate judg- es.
 After Miss Gleaton's talk there was a general discussion.

CHECK UP BREAK
Coiored Men Arrested In Stam- ford May Have Committed
 Crime Here.

The arrest of three colored men in Stamford after burglary in ladies' furnishing store In that city, has re- called q similar break in the store of Noel Dupre in this city last April At that time investigation disclosed that negroes had been seen in an automo- bile that headed toward Providence in the early morning hours. Along the Providence pike were found articles that unquestionably came from the Dupre store. The burglary in Put nam has always been thought to have been committed by these colored men.
 The Stamford break, having many of the earmarks of the Putnam break, led Captain Jarvis to get in communi- cation with the police of Stamford, making 6 eheck-up. While the captain has little hope of connecting the men under arrest with the Putnam crime. the matter will be given thorough investigation.
