In the fourth bout Alex Socquet of Danielson elashed with Arthur Polowitzer of East Hartford. This was a furious mixup from start to finish. The Danielson boy worked hard to Kayo his opponent and in the third had him running to cover. Dur ing his aggressive tactics, however, the Danielson boy. according to the judges score cards, was receiving some damaging body punishment. 1t was due to this, it is said, that the decision went to East Hartford. The ruling was a bit of a surprise 10 the fans with whom the Danielson battler was clearly favorite.
 Frank Socquet of Daniclson lost tho next bout. He was against Rocco Curfi of East Hartford. The watch es had ticked bare 1 6 seconds when Rocco found the right spot and it was all over with the Danielson per formeA

EMUSIC IN THE AIR"

There's music in the air
 When the infant morn is nigh,
 And faint it's blush is seen
 On the bright and laughing sky.
 Many a harp's ecstatic sound
 With it's thrill of joy profound,
 While we list, enchanted there,
 To the music in the air. There's music in the air
 When the noontide's sultry beam
 Reflects a golden light
 On the distant mountain stream:
 When beneath some grateful shade,
 Sorrows aching head Is laid,
 Sweetly to the spirit there
 Comes music in the air There's music in the air
 When twilight's' gentle sigh
 Is lost on evenings breast,
 As it's pensive beauties die.
 Then. oh, then, the loved ones gone
 Wake the pure celestial song,
 Angel voices greet us there,
 In the music in the air"
 Then came the curfew or Evening Bell;
 ''Harkl the pcaling, softly stealing,
 Evening bell,
 sweetly echoed down the dell Welcome, welcome is thy music,
 Silvery bell.
 Sweetly telling days farewell"

 One flower, associated in point of time. but a familiar sight. is the mea- dow ornament. which has yellow disk with white petals.

"Violet." and "Roose- welt tRose Field).
 The Walloons, whose speech was French. were from the southern part of Belgium. and the Huguenots from France were one, as were the Pilgrims and Puritans. The smaller company was lost in the larger, but all held the Reformed Christian Faith They set tied in the Middle States; New York or (Nova Belgical, New Belgium was their territory so named when given civic organization in 1926. and com prised the present states of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della ware. They brought us many things for our improvement. In the colonial period the interior of their homes were more attractive than those of the Dutch and English settlers. Oiled parchment or Rreased paper at the windows. had white linen to soften the glare of their lights. On the floor. in place of sand and rushes. they spread textiles, made of odds and ends of dis carded clothing. These, woven in their looms. made what we call rag carpet. From these French speaking colonists were developed the quince and grape culture. which these people brought over. As rule apples were grafted on Indian stocks, and manufacturers and quaffers of new cider were they. Some of these enterprising people set tied in Mortlake, portion of which became the Society of Abingdon. To these early settlers we are indebted for the invention of slap-jacks lgriddle- cakesl or buckwheat cakes. and sup.

Abingdon, Connecticut, a parish, was named from a parish of Cam bridgeshire. England. The Society Of Abingdon, comprising the western part If Pomfret, was chartered May End, f749. IL then numbered about fifty families. Meetings were first held in inc house of James Ingalls, Ito have preaching in," also that the commit tee shall provide a good minister No minister was engaged but money was spent to provide a schoolmaster. In I75l the meetinghouse was raised and covered and q minister provided. In 1753 the interior of the westinghouse was made more complete. The largest land owners built pews for themselves. Schools received more and more at tention as the years flew by. Improve ments were made in schools and the house of worship. 4 bell was given by Samuel Sumner in 1900 and leave voted to build steeple." Two years later the expense of hanging and rais- ing the bell and rope to hang ft and further repairs brought the house in good condition. The society continued to care for the schools. A parsonage was built in 1852. This house of wor- ship claims the honor of being the oldest one in the state still in use, hav- ing been built in i751.

COLOR SEEN As
!, VITAL FACTOR

Color, according to Charles A.
Tucker, sales manager OF the Peer
less Motor Car Corporation, will be
q decisive factor in the public's
choice of motor cars in 1928.
The growing appreciation OF
color by men and women alike, has
caused the leading manufacturers
in all lines OF business to employ
this appeal in selling their prod.
ucts," says Mr.. Tucker. Makers
OF furniture, hosiery, textiles. and
shoes say that the demand for
their brightly colored articles is con-
atantly increasing while sales of
aomber colors is on the decline.
This is even more true In sell
Ing automobiles. A few years ago
practically all cars were painted in
deep blues, greens, or black. Today
the demand is for color, and more
color. This trend is even being car
ried to the point where top mate.

tainly 1t is the most colorful. Deal

Damages to Auto Ruled
Deductable From Tax

The loss sustained in accidental
damage to an automobile, even

poses, constitutes a permissible de.

has just ruled.
The decision is called to the at
tention of automobile owners by

in order that the automobile owner
may deduct any losses that he
