NAPLES, December 22.-While
cheering thousands stood before the
royal palace. Alessio Cardinal As
calesi, Archbishop of Naples, today
sprinkled holy water on the royal
head of chuckling little Princess
Maria Pia of Savoy.
A lady in waiting held the good
humored infant, first-born of Crown
Prince Hunbert and Princess Marie
Jose, on crimson silken cushion for
the baptismal ceremony as 1,400 royal
and aristocratic guests gathered in
the chapel of the palace watched.
Outside the cheering became so
loud that King Victor Emanuel and
Queen Helen, together with the par
ents, had to appear on the balcony.
The throngs in the square were dis
appointed, however, at getting no
glimpse of the infant.
Thirteen bishops helped Cardinal
AScalesi perform the rites in the
chapel, treasure house of seventeenth
and nineteenth century art. 1t was
the second baptism for the little prin-
cess. She was baptized informally the
day after her birth, September "a.
The formal ceremony was delayed by
the Kings visit to Italian Somali-
land.
None in the great throng was more
hoy 81,
among Naples poor who, on behalf
of the municipality, presented the
little princess her magnificent cradle.
Meanwhile. "a other mothers, each
the most prolific in her province, who
were assembled at Rome, were being
given newspaper headlines as large
as those chosen for the royal babys
baptism.

SETTLEMENTS AID
CELEBRATION PLAN
Broadcast Tomorrow Will
EecaII Founding Unit in
London in 1884.

Settlement houses of Washington
tomorrow will join in the interna-
tional celebration of the fiftieth ami
versary of the founding of the first
settlement house which was estab-
lished in London, England, on Christ
mas eve, 1884. In honor of this an
niversary the National Federation OF
Settlements has arranged an interna-
tional broadcast to be heard here
from 4:3O to pm. tomorrow.
Toynbee Hall, the first settlement,
was named for Arnold Toynbee, an
oxford graduate, who became inter-
ested in an idea advanced by the
Rev. Samuel A. Barnett. Today there
are So such settlements in England.
First U. S. Unit in 1886.
The idea was not long in reaching
this country and resulted in the
founding of Neighborhood Guild, now
University Settlement, in New York
City in 1886. This was founded by
Stanton Colt. Following in rapid
succession were College Settlement
in New York City and the famous
11ull l1OuoC LII SlllCdSO, AOulICa Al
1889. There are now Isl settlements
in active membership in the National
Federation of Settlements, 48 af-
hliated through individual member
ship of head workers and probably
300 church house social workers and
other organizations which grew out
of the same idea.
Neighborhood House is Washing
tons oldest settlement, being founded
in 1901 by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles F.
Weller. 1t was closely followed by the
establishment of Friendship House
which was founded by Miss Adeline
Rochefort and Miss Ida Green at
319 Pennsylvania avenue southeast,
but which did not become an active
settlement until 1904 when it moved
to 324 Virginia avenue southeast. In
1909 Miss Lydia Burklin became di-
rector and the name was changed to
Friendship House.
Idea Gains Favor.
The settlement idea became popu-
lar and the Christ Child Society,
which had been started as an organi-
zation to make layettes for babies of
INDECENT parents, gradually evolved
into a settlement house. The Juanita
K. Nye Council House was also estab-
lished as a settlement and while
under the nominal direction of Jewish
interests has worked for the welfare
of the entire neighborhood.
The need for settlements for COL
ored people was recognized and led to
the establishment of Southwest Com
munity House, Southeast House and
the Northwest Settlement House, all
of which cater to a large colored
population.
The newest addition to the settle
ments is the Georgetown Childrens
House, started 4 years ago as a pre-
school, then a nursery school and
which will be open as a settlement
house ON January l as a member
OF the Community Chest.

 New York, Sept 26 - tUP)- Strength in silverr gold and some of the store shares featured an otherwise irregular stock market list today. Trading was above yes terday until the last hour when the volume was lighter.
 United States Smelling rose to IF 1-2 up 2 IA points on de- claration by the company of 9 $2 dividend, bringing the total divi- dends for the year to $9, including $4.50 in extras. Earnings of the company in the first 3 minths were equal to $5.7S share on common stock, about in line with expecta- tions. The dividend was larger than anticipated.
 Other silvers followed the trend of the leading issue. American Smelling touched 35 up I-2; Howe sound 50 1-2 up 7-8 and Cerro de Pasco 37 3-8 up 1-2.

Street Lighting In
 State Shows Gain
1000 Lamps Added in Two Year Period Despite the
 Depression Total Now Is 5z,OO0

Despite the fact that many cities and towns eliminated some of their electric street lights two and three years ago as a matter of municipal economy, Connecticut streets are better lighted today than at any time in the past, for not only have most of the discontinued a m p s been returned to service, but many municipalities h ave actually ex- banded their street lighting sys- tems.
 A check-up of the most recent figures of the public utilities com mission shows that there are 3D. 900 street lights in Connecticut, an increase of approximately 1000 lamps since two years ago. Connec- ticut has thus progressed in high way illumination even in the face of depressed conditions which dic- ments. This fact is further sup year of 1929. the state had less than 50,000 street lamps as com- pared with the 52,000 shown in the latest commission statistics.
 Of this large number of street lights, approximately 49,700 are of the incandescent lamp type of varying sizes and candle power, while the remaining 2,300 are the only older type arc lights remain ing in Connecticut. Because of the great improvements which have taken place in the manufacture of incandescent lamps not only for street lighting but for all purposes in the last decade and half, the arc light has been passing gradu- ally from existence during that period. The incandescents. similar to those used in the home but much larger, afford better illumin- ation and are less likely to get out of order.
 New Haven leads all of the com munities of the state with re- spect to the number of it's street lights, having total of 3,774. Hartford has almost the same number, it's total running to 3,683. Bridgeport has 2,990 street lamps. of which 1.652 are arc lights and 1888 incandescent electric bulbs. Waterbury uses 2,202 incandes- cents; Stamford, 2,151; New Brit ain, 1,705, Manchester, 1,5O0; West Hartford, 1921; New London l.. S12: Greenwich, 1910: Norwich, 1,2S5; Meriden, LOAF; Middletown, 1923.
 Only very few of the smaller villages in Connecticut do not have street lights of one kind or an- other. In most of them, at least tho main thoroughfare is illumin- atod even if there are only four or i've lamps.

In, his arguments. Attorney F'itz- gerald pointed out that the Beck company was not in healthy finan- cial condition, that Charles H Beck. the owner of the company, was with Ciarlo the day before the fire. that Ciarlo changed his story upon being brought back to Wat erbury from New London where he was arrested and that if Ciarlo's testimony were believed it would be a triumph of credulity.
 Attorney Lawlor called the courts atetntion to the testimony of Robert T. Hurley. investigate or for the Fire Underwriters board and former state police superin- tendent. that if Ciarlo did in fact light ball with chemical sub stance drenching it. he would have been blown up. The ball of fire tes. timony was offered by Allard.
 As to Beck being lax in his pay ment of bills he asked aren't we ali?"
 He argued that the state proved no motive and that the Beck com pany carried only $2.O00 worth of insurance against S2.S00 worth of merchandise. He closed arguing the state had not proven any wilful act on the part of Ciarlo.
