MRS. LOUIS Fl. LAMB
Born Tn Woodstock. Was Nurse at Day kimball Hospital.
 And District Nurse
(By Request )

tBy kequeStl
 The following obituary, printed in the South Hadley Falls news in the Holyoke (Mass) Daily Transcript Telegram, is of interest to people in Putnam and Woodstock. The Patriot carried an item concerning the death of Mrs. Lamb last week, received just as the paper was going to press:
 Mrs. Jessie Hubbard Lamb, wife of Louis II. Lamb, died at her home on North Main street, Wednesday night, after long illness. Besides her bus band she leaves a brother, Winfield Hubbard: e nephew. Paul Hubbard, both of Springfield, a niece, Margue- rite F.. Clemens of Morrison, N. j.
 Mrs. Lamb was born on Aug. 24, 1883. at Woodstock, Conn, the daugh- ter of Henry w. and Maria Moffitt Hubbard. She received her education in the public schools there and after graduation from Woodstock Acad- emy, taught school for year in the same town. For many years she was a devoted member of the Woodstock Congregational church.
 In 1905 she was graduated from the Franklin County Training School for nurses at Greenfield, and was for a time a member of the nursing staff of the Day Kimball Hospital. The World War found her doing private and institutional nursing in Greenfield. Like many other loyal nurses in our country. Jessie Hubbard answered the call of duty by registering as Ma tional Red Cross nurse. When her call to service came, Greenfield was in the midst of a severe epidemic of infiu- enza. As tehre was shortage of nurs- es, special permission was given her to remain at her post there until the crisis had passed. Then she was as- signed to the United States Army base Hospital at Camp Devens. where she was in charge of the hu-pneumo- nis ward Here she remained until after the armistiee was signed.
 District Nurse
 Following some further training, she accepted position as district and school nurse at Belchertown. In the spring of 1920 she left to accept a similar position in South Hadley, in which capacity she served devoted.y and efficiently for nearly i've years. She was assistant agent to the South Hadley Board of Health during this same period She was a member of the South Hadley Women's club.
 In 1925 she resigned from this po- sition to study microscopic bacteria logy in New York City. This plan never materialized. however, as on February 4, 1925 she married Louis II. Lamb, with whom she had been as- soeiated in the work of public well fare. After her marriage, she eonti- nued her work as district nurse until such time as the vacancy caused by her resignation could be filled.
 In her death, the town of South Hadley has lost loyal and helpful citizen. Her willingness to lift all heavy burdens and her personal in- terest in all was quickened by keen discernment that enabled her to give most where most was needed. In heI i five years of service to the town, she made many friends who will learn of her passing with a very real sense oi l loss.

body in the Senate. The leaders OPP
posed to the coalition do not, of course,
admit that there is or has been any
discrimination against the farmer and
in favor of the manufacturer, On the
contrary, they vehemently deny that
they have ever practiced sectionaliSnn-
and they equally vehemently deplore
that the coalition should practice sec
tionaliSm.
Senator Reed Hits Back.
The leader of the regular Republicans
against the coalition in this tariff fight
is Senator David Reed Of Pennsylvania.
He alphabetically with q dirty
look" at Senator Borah:
IT express the sentiment, not of the
farm bloc, but of every Senator in
this chamber, when I say that IL it is
possible for us to improve the condition
of the farmer by what we do in this
tariff bill, then every one of us is glad
to do it. In that sense we are all men,
bers of the farm bloc. and for some of
us to pretend that that benevolent de-
sire Is not shared by his comrades here
is almost an insincerity. We in the
East are reproached for having no con-
Germ for the farmer. My own State OF
Pennsylvania, known as an industrial
State, as 1t is, produces more wealth on
its farms than do the majority of the
States from which our critics come. The
annual farm production of Pennsyl-
vania exceeds that of the States from
which most of those Senators come who
have been most Voluble in their crtti-
cism of our actions"

Yank Bathing Suits
Win Italian SWANS

Sadly but certainly Italian manhood
Is onering up the traditional privilege
OF appearing at watering places In
seanty apparel. The tine-honored
practice Of wearing shorts rather than
q fun bathing costume has not been
censored by the authorities, although
they have taken drastic action against
scantily clad woman bathers. on the
other hand, 1t has fallen before a well
directed campaign of American bathing
suit manufacturers. Sales by one indi-
vidual concern have doubled in the last
year and it is rapidly becoming the style
to appear on the beaches in fun re-
gala. Old-timers who have DISPLAYED
their hoary chests to the mingled
amazement and disgust of American
visitors still cling to their old custom.
but the new generation, particularly
young SWANS who wish to please the
signorinas, are going the American wav.
Under the new agreement between Itaiy
and the Vatican, particular attention is
being paid to women's dress. both on
the beaches and in public places, but
1t remains the privilege of the stronger
sex to wear whatever is most comfort
able wherever and whenever it wishes.

Kappel of Hartford, Conn, has come
into prominence as an etcher. He Is
still a comparatively young man, hav-
ing been born in 1901. Between 81 and
"a he studied at the Pratt Institute,
Brooklyn. In 1928 he received a prize
at an exhibition held by the Marblchead
Art Association, and the following year
was prize winner in the Brooklyn
Society of Etchers' exhibition at the
Brooklyn Museum. Since that time
his prints have more than cnce been
selected for the Fine Prints of the Year
and have found their way into the per-
manent collections of the leading
museums here and abroad.
For the most part Mr.. Kappel's
etchings have to do with the seacoast
and with boats, subjects which every
one, or almost every one, finds at
tractive. His work Is simple and direct,
spirited and inspiriting; he is a con-
summate craftsman.
Philip Little, painter and etcher, of
Salem discovered a collection of pencil
drawings by Philip Kappel on view in
the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
of Boothbay Harbor, Me-, and he was

so enchanted by them that he sought
out the artist. Direct, exquisite, GER
tain" he writes, was each one of the
10 or IL specimens. The beautiful
simplicity of the subjects, the well
composition, perfect perspec-
tive and luminosity Of sunlight. con-
veyed by the transparent shadows, stood
forth as the work of a man who lived
his work and gave himself wholly to it,
who had the power of selection and
knowledge of composition, and who
knew how to draw" Since then l
have come to know Philip Kappel," he
adds. ito love him for his charming
simplicity and genuineness." Great,
but well merited praise.

STAND ON CRUISER
WORK EXPLAINED
President Believed Funds Not De.
sired During Present
Fiscal Year.

By the Associated Press.
President Coolidge recommended Sl2.-
100000 available after June 80, 1929,
for construction on the ships called for
in the cruiser bill because he understood
that no funds were desired by Senate
and House leaders for work on the
warcraft during the current fiscal year.
which ends June 80.
The President got this impression
from conferences with legislators and
he feels that it will make little differ
ence, so far as The building of the ships
Is concerned, whether work is postpon-
ed on them until after the beginning
OF the next fiscal year, or not. He
thinks that construction should be post
poned until after June 30 because of
the condition Of the Treasury.
However, in some quarters the Presi-
dents recommendation was interpreted
as a move to forestall work on the
cruisers during the present fiscal year,
despite the fact that a time clause in
the cruiser bill specified that of the
Is cruisers called for should be laid
down, respectively, In 1929, 1880 and
1881. The Chief Executive opposed the
CAAAC CAduSc, out At WAS retained against
his wishes. Following the Presidents
recommendation, the Senate appropria-
tions committee voted to make $T0O 900
available for construction of the cruis-
ers during the present fiscal year.
On the House side some feel that
the $12,370,000 recommended by the
President is inadequate and Chairman
Britten of the House naval affairs COM
mittee has announced that as soon as
the Senate completes work on the naval
supply bill that he would inquire as to
whether the Budget Bureau did not
arbitrarily" cut down the sum pro-
posed by the Navy Department to get
the building program under way.
The Senate seems satisfied with the
amount recommended by the President
but after the measure Is passed there
1t goes back to the House for consid-
Grafton of amendments. Chairman
Britten could move then to add to the
amount recommended by Mr. COOLIDGE

SALE Of OFFICES
IN TEXAS CHARGED
"Enormous Amount" COL
Iected Since 1921 by State
G. O. p, Wurzbach Says.

BY the Associated Press
Representative Wurzbach, only Re-
publican member of Congress from
Texas, told the Senate patronage COM
mittee today that since 1921 an "enor-
nous amount" of money had been
collected by the Texas Republican
organization in return for Federal
appointments.
He declared that from May, 1921
when the Dallas headquarters were
opened, to January l. 1929, promissory
notes made payable to the organization
controlled by r. B. Creager, Republican
national committeeman for Texas,
totaled more than 100000. most OF
which was not given voluntarily
"If this money had been paid In
cash." Wurzbach said, "these contribu-
tions might have been voluntary, but
the large proportion of promissory notes
shows that they were not voluntary,
because men do not usually go under a
legal obligation to make donations OF
this sort"
The notes. he said, were made by
postmasters, United States marshals and
customs collectors, all, or nearly all, OF
whom were Republicans.
Terms Of Office Expiring.
He declared that from May. 1921, to
January l, 1922, the notes totaled
5000 This. he said. was because
terms of office were expiring and new
notes were being asked by the organi-
zation.
Just when the pie counter opened
up?" Chairman Brookhart asked.
YES" WurZbach answered, "tht
plums had just begun to fall" This
was soon after the Inauguration OF
President Harding.
After January |, 1922, Wurzbach said
that the contributions fell of, but that
they rose again in 1925.
Il am looking for another rise this
year." he added.
Brookhart said that his committee
had found $50 notes. and that the
names of the signers had been sent<tC
the Post Office Department for identifi-
cation. The department replied that
242 were postmasters or postal en-
ployes.
Of the 88 unidentified by the de-
partment, WurZbacn 4uenGineu nine, M
cluding Henry zweifel as Federal dis
trict attorney at Fort Worth, S. L. Gross

Tells Of Complaints.
Wurzbach said he had received many
complaints about the situation in his
State, among them letter from w. E
Talbot, former director of the Repub-
lican organization, to J. M. Parker OF
Eastland County, which, Wurzbach said
corroborated his testimony that con-
tributions were involuntary.
Leonard wilmington, the present direc-
tor has told the committee that con-
tributions were voluntary.
Wurzbach entered general denial ol
charges that he had demanded contri-
buttons to aid his campaigns, In which
he said he was opposed by the Demo
cratic and Creager machines"

Boiling Field Men Think He
May Have Landed to
F. Await Fog Lifting.
PLANE BELIEVED HIS
PASSES WILMINGTON, N. C.
Left Charleston, N. c., at 6:45
A.M.-Conditions Poor Over
His Entire Route.

WILMINGTON, N. c., February
16 R.-An airplane believed to be
that of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh,
en- route from Charleston, s. c., to
Washington, passed over Wrights-
vile Beach, near here, shortly after
$50 o'clock today. The plane was
flying high and fast.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. who took
OF for this city from Charleston, s. c.,
at SAT O'Clock this morning. was over
due here at 1880. At Boiling Field
where he was scheduled to land, no
word had been received from him.
Lindbergh encountered bad weather
son after leaving Charleston. and air
ways reports received at Boiling Field
showed dangerous flying conditions over
the greater part of his course.
1t is thought possible he has gone
down at an emergency landing field to
wait for the fog to lift.
The purpose of Lindbergh's visit here
Is not definitely known. He probably
will confer with William p MacCracken,
jr, Assistant Secretary of Commerce
for Aeronautics.
