L. M. KEITH ORDERED TO APPEAR IN COURT
Prominent Citizen Charged With Destroying "No Bath
 ing" Signs
Were Put on His Property Without
 His Permission

Luther N. Keith. former select man and prominent Putnam citizen, commissioner in charge of beautify- ing state highways for the state high way department. was arraigned in the borough court of killingly, Fri day morning. charged with tearing down signs fcrbidding bathing, plac- ed on the shores of Alexander's lake The signs. which Mir. Keith admitted. ly destroyed were placed in front of his summer cottage on the lake shore. Mir. Keith, it Is understood, claims that the state board of health had no legal right te place signs upon proper ty which he leased. without his per- mission. The case was adjourned to Monday morning. August 26th.
 Bathing in A,exander's lake is brought to public view every year. lt is an open secret that eottagers are wont to take a dip in the forbidden waters. Annually in midsummer of- ficcrs become active and bathers are threatened with arrest and prcseeu= ton. There have been attempts to make test case of the aggravnting situation but so far no one seems to want to be ''the goat" In the past, meetings of lake shore cottagers have been held with a view Co having the legal status of the situation definitely determined but SO far the matter has not reached the superior court.
 Active and Inactive
 The situation seems to be that at the opening of the season no active effort is made to stop bathing in the lake. Then about this time of year officers appear and "post the lake" Signs are attached Co trees warming hathers that they are liable Co arrest and prosecution. Officers patrol the lake for period of time and then the matter seems to adjust itself and ac- tivity ceases.
 In the early part of last week off cers from the Danielson state police barracks posted the usual ''no bath ingn signs. The lake is seurce of domestic water supply for the village of Goodyear and for years bathing has ostensibly, at least, been prohib- tied. It SO happened that some of these signs were placed on the proper ~ leased by Mir. Keith directly in front of his cottage. It Is under s.ood that Mr. Keith did not object Co thc officers going upon his proper " to investigate but that he did cb- ect te the signs being affixed to his property without his permission and therefore tore the signs down. The situation that has arisen is technic- al enc and will determine the rights of cottaeers. who maintain their sum mer homes under leasholds, as to whether or not the state may erect
 igns against their wishes. IL will not however. determine the import. ant question as Co whether CT mol bathing in the lake is lawful or un lawiul.

 Exercises for laying the corne stone at the ''New Haven" were hel' Sunday afternoon at The Haven a 4 ?. m. A large number of peopl, were present and expressed their ap preeiation to Mrs. Murray for he generosity in helping to carry out ths work of caring for the aged and in va.id people of this state.
 This work was started few years ago by Mrs. A. C. Griggs but through the aid given by Mrs. Murray a much larger number have been cared for in the Home than otherwise would have been possible.
 Mrs. Murray Speaks
 Mrs. Murray gave a very inspiring talk and told those assembled of her great interest in the Home and some Of the things which The Haven meant Co her and to the older people them selves. She said in substance, "As lcok at this corner stone it seems to me as seed of The New Haven that will mature as a plant and so long af- ter we are gone will bloom as a beau tiful flower"
 Rev. E. P. Ayers, state chaplain and head of the state society for the blind the deaf and crippled and shut-ins. also gave very inspiring talk. Mir. Ayers, himself a blind man, has been able to go about and do a great deal cf good Mr. Ayers said, in part. that no matter how beautiful the brick, the stone and the mortar was, the building could never be as beautiful as the soul of the donor.
 He commended Mrs Griggs work very highly and touched upon the wonderful work the future holds in stere for The Haven.
 The program was as follows:
 How Firm a Foundation; scrip ture reading. Rev. George Barker, Congregational church, Pomfreti blessing the corner stone, Rev. Mir Richards, Pomfret; laying the corner stone and talk by Mrs Murray; talk Rev George Hawkes.. Congregational church Arlington: song, "He Walks With Me, Chaplain and Mrs. F. r 1 Ayers; benediction, Rev. E. r. Rich ards.

The German Ambassador, Herr Won

muter on the trains to New York, at
tending anniversary occasions and ban
quets given for compelling reasons
This Is true also of the Spanish and
italian Ambassadors and the envoy from
the Netherlands and many others.
Twenty years ago members Of the dip
lomatic corps did not acknowledge such
obligations, and momentous indeed was
the event which led to long railroad
trip. such as to Chicago, while the
Pacific Coast was entirely out Of the
question.
AS it appears to be strong posi-
bility that M. Tytus Filipowizc, the
Polish minister. soon will become Am
bassador from that republic, a resplen-
dent diplomatic uniform may be added
to the pageantry of the New Year re-
ception at the White House. AS the
Kingdom of Poland sent gorgeously ap-
pareled ENJOYS to the great courts of
Europe in the years before this West
ern world was dreamed of, the present
republic has the right to revive all this
splendor and has done so in the per-
sons of the Ambassadors to the Holy
See and to France. DR.. MaSaryk could
take over the diplomatic array of the
ancient Kingdom of Bohemia and such
a step is contemplated. The Baltic re-
publics of Latvia, Lithuania and ES-
thonia-for reasons of economy and be-
cause they desire no reminder of their
subsection under Muscovite rule, have
adopted no uniform and the majority of
the Latin American diplomats at the
court of Europe have discarded the
finery they had formerly worn and now
wear evening dress and such decora-
tons as they may possess. So the Am
bassador to the court of st. James, Mr..
Charles @. Dawes. did not find himself
in splendid isolation as the late White
law Reid did. and so he did not take
advantage Of the permission granted Mr..
Reid to don knee breecheS, silken hose,
buckled shoes and gold embroidered
evening coat In fact, with the sole
exception of the late DR.. George Har-
vey, none of the Ambassadors from this
Republic adopted Mr.. Reid's court APP
parel. But London has gorgeousness to
spare In such matters, whereas in
Washington a brilliantly CARRIED Am
bassador from Poland will help to fill
the void in picturesque mode when the
German and Austrian republics cast
aside the gay habiliments of their land
in the days of the empire.

President Hoover, because of the mo-
mentous and pleasant interlude OF
Premier Macdonalds visit, has been
compelled to revise his plan Of travel
made prior to that event. For one
thing, although he made a tentative
promise to visit Ell Paso, Tex, during
the celebration of the seventy-fifth an
niversary of the signing of the Gadsden
purchase documents, this visit will have
to be deferred. There are many rea-
sons, the principal being that FL Paso
Is a good three-day journey from Wash
ington. and as the anniversary comes
on December 80, the President could not
return to the capital in time to hold
the New Year reception. But 1t is
assumed that the Secretary of State
and others earnestly engaged in trying
to improve the relations between this
republic and the neighboring one to the
South will not seriously regret that this
plan has gone awry. The Gadsden Pur-
chase was a friendly gesture, according
to some historians, and the payment of
conscience money according to others,
since $10,000.000 we're given for an UNI
important strip of Southern Arizona and
New Mexico, presumably to rectify the
border between the two countries after
but $15,000,000 indemnity had been Of
1ereQ following the Mexican war as
consolation for California. Nevada,
Utah, big slice of Colorado and all
of Arizona and New Mexico, except the
small strip bought through the con-
ciliatory efforts of James Gadsden of
South Carolina. who was sent as en-
voy to heal the breach between the
republics after the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo.
DR.. Marc Peter, Minister from Switz-
lerland, who will soon count 10 years
of service in this capital, may be said
to have set fashion now universally
followed by important diplomats in
Washington-that is, to visit colonies
of their people established in various
parts Of the United States and to par
.ticipate in celebrations made sacred in
national history. DR.. Peter visited that
beautiful section of Oregon known as
New Switzerland. where, in an environ
ment of mountains and fertile valleys,

the Prince of Wales. His brothers go
up perfunctorily but they prefer horses
or motor cars for general travel. The
king, still fragile from his recent illness,
has only few short flights to his
credit, taken before his illness, and in
this he differs from all other European
monarchs. Albert of Belgium, like Col.

LONE SCOUT TESTS

Among the tests of the Lone
Scout division of the Boy Scouts, we
find some very interesting facts. We
learn that we can determine direc-
tions when hiking or camping, by
merely the natural growth of tim
Der and underground. We also
learn how to tell directions with a
sun dial, also by time piece and
straight stick. We are able to de-
termine the height of trees without
climbing them; able to measure the
width of a stream without crOssin 6
it, or having someone cross it. BY
the aid of the semaphore code and
the international code. scouts who
are first class are able to talk to
each other in the daytime when a
great distance apart, with flags, and
at night by lantern, flashlight, or
fire brand. A scout who has really
taken an interest in the tests, and
passed them, is able to take care of
himself, no matter in what situation
he is placed, much better than the
average boy.
Boys, this work is not something
far out of your reach. 1t is placed
by means of the Lone Scouts SO that
you can, no matter how isolated you
are, enjoy the benefits of the seoul
work and that service. If you are
interested why wait? Write at once
