BAR OF SILVER IN
 STORE WINDOW
Exhibit Attracts Much At= tentiOn at M. A. Greens
 73 Grand Street
HOW VALUES CHANGE

There is an exhibit in the win- dow of the M. A. Green Jewelry store, 73 Grand street, that is of considerable interest because of the current talk in congress of the re- monetiZation of silver.
 Displayed in the window is a bar of silver metal which bears the U s. government assay stamp of 999.j one-thousandths fine. Accompany ing this is a window card which states how much the bar is worth This price is changed daily, at noon, to correspond with the off cial price quoted in New York.
 For example, on Thursday, the 2nd, the bar was worth $12.26. To- day 1t is worth $12.94. This price will vary slightly from day to day according to the market.
 The notice reads that if one wishes to speculate, that here is something devoid of water, atmos- phere and stratosphere-that ii may be purchased for the market price, and that the store will re deem its value at any future date at the then current New York of ficial price per ounce, as part pay ment on any set of Sterling silver
 During this depression silver has bean dragged to the lowest level ir history, and there isn't much ques. ton about it's returning to it's for mer natural leve! with improve ment in general business. And i the U. S. government should pas laws re-establishing bi-metalism a the 16 to l ratio, the bar of silve which is on exhibit at the M. A Green store, now costing $12.94 would represent coined value o around $55.00.

HIGH HONOR FOR
 WALTER J. RACICOT
Appointed Representative for ROsicrucian Order in
 This District
MANY LOCAL MEMBERS

The hundreds of Rosicrucians living in this district will be inter ested in the official announcement just received regarding the ap- pointment of a representative of the fraternity for this district who will be an intermediary between the local members and the national headquarters of the organization in San Jose, California. The cer- tificate of appointment as local rep resentative has been received by Walter J. Racicot of 65 Brewster street. The certificate was signed by the supreme secretary of the Rosicrucian Order. Since the or ganization is so widely spread throughout the whole of North America. and its humanitarian ac- tivities have been so greatly in creased during the recent days of depression through the esta blish- ment of sunshine circles which give advice and practical help to the needy, several representatives in each selected area are appointed every six months to keep the na- tional headquarters of the Rosi- crucian Brotherhood continuously informed regarding all important matters. With the national re- search bureau composed of work CTS in the sciences and fine arts, and a national editorial committee composed of leading thinkers and writers living in every district. the official representative of headquar- ters is tie between the local ac- tivities and the national activities. The local representative also as- sists in the selection of the proper newspapers and other mediums for paid advertisements of all kinds used by the extension department of the organization in it's national campaigns, and likewise assists in the arrangements for free public lectures of an educational and ethical nature, and the presentation of instructive radio programs in each section of the country.
 Such representatives donate their services without compensation in the spirit of humanitarian and fra ternal cooperation. The Rosicru- clan Order generally known by the appropriate name AMORC is a | non-religious, non-commercial or ganization existing in all parts of the world and operating as fra ternity for the promotion of cul- tural and scientific benefits in the
 advancements of mans personal interests.
 The annual national convention of Rosicrucians will be held this year in the month of July in San Jose, California, where the organ ization maintains large number
 buildings, including an Egyptian museum which has been presented
 with the only international peace | flag granted to any public institu- | tion on the Pacific coast.

Notwithstanding Nezir's denial of being a Hence" for the accused he is being held for the next term of superior court under heavy bonds.
 Other merchants here have been questioned concerning reports that they purchased stolen goods or had the option to buy. The state troop CTS following this angle of inquiry are expected to develop something very interesting, which may put Hodges and suspected companion in a peculiar position. Hodges has accompanied state troopers on var ious visits about the state. He has turned state evidence completely. The only difficulty the authorities have with him is to distinguish what is the truth and what is ifnag- mary on Hodges part. He tells many conflicting stories, which may involve a number of people.
 To date Hodges, a former bus driver and a suspected "undercover man" for federal agents has con- fessed to over 20 burglaries in the vicinity of Middletown and Port land, Woodbury, Litchfield and other parts of the state.
 With Malley and Lord two weeks ago he was captured near Middle town after 8 bullet from a state troopers gun had punctured tire of their automobile. The car was found loaded with merchandise stolen from a drug store in Port land. All three when arraigned were placed under heavy bonds for trial. Attorney John F. Tobin is expected to defend them when they are brought into court next week.
 Members of the local detective bureau are lending assistance to the state troopers, but as Hodges accompanies them on their fre- quent visits he directs the show in explaining how and when he staged many of his "breaks." Hodges de- nies that he was responsible forf local breaks. He did his shopping -out of town.
