YANKEE INGENUITY
 SHOWN IN EXHIBIT

In the handlcraft exhibit which will be one of the most interesting features of the Tercentenary In- dhstriaI Exposition at the State Armory, Hartford, october 2 to IF, there will be a number of interest ing showings illustrative of the ex- tent to which the ingenuity of the early Connecticut Yankee was taxed. Pots and kettles were scarce in, the early days and until small supplies of copper were secured from East Granby and iron from Salisbury and North Haven, the colonists had to depend to some extent upon the primitive utensils made after the manner of the In- dians of clay in the form of pottery and of soapstone, supply of which came from an old soapstone quarry in Harwinton. This stone was easily worked and for years was the raw material for many ar- ticles, among them being ink pots and soapstone griddles. The stone from this primitive quarry will be shown at the exposition and some of the products made from it.

he was the general manager of
the company.
You know we can't any of
us be chooSers in the company,
Mrs. Burnham. OF course, if I
had my way, we'd all live in
Shanghai" Then he turned
back to Hester.
Elsie attended closely to the
eating of her salad, seeing
through a blur the three stalks
of asparagus thrust through a.
ring of pimento, Kin's special
company salad. Her husband
would never forgive her FOR this.
It was his proud boast that he
had never asked the company
for anything. Too late she had
perceived that the general man.
ayers first allegiance was to the
company.
The Company First
Angrily she dug into the
asparagus, thinking how naked
it looked, lying there without
any lettuce. Some company
people had gardens and could
have lettuce. She felt ILL
treated. The general manager
ought to know she was a good
sport, after the way she had
stuck it out off there in Szech-
uan, and the baby coming and
all. She wasn't asking anything
for herself but for the baby.
And wouldn't he feel the same
way if it were his baby? Elsie
felt desperate. Some people in
the company got things. How'd
they do it?
It was only at the end of the
general managers visit that
Stephen brought himself to pre-
sent the project of better living
conditions. He knew it was not
good for company man to ask
for things, but for Hester's
sake he must speak.
Were overcroWded, Mr..
Truesdale. Many of the bust
ness companies are buying land
on the island out in the river
away from the city"
"Well, Chase, I hardly feel
I could put anything like that
up to New York now. You must
remember that I have just
started in as general manager.
The bespectacled Hoosier star
I can't advocate big expendi-
lures. Business has grown since
you came here, but it hardly
warrants the expense of an eX-
ira house. Matter of fact, I
thought you seemed pretty COM
fortable.''
He was thinking of their
living room and it's beauty. Two
or three Chinese pictures hung
on soft gray walls. Here and
there the sun, making pools Of
light on the polished surface Of
an old Chinese table; bronze
vases in studied pairs, black
with age; porcelains, exquisite
in form and color; the rugs
and hangings gorgeous and
rich.
He shut his eyes to the Chi
nese, city pressing so close, and
to the complicated life of the
company people within this
house of business The com.
pany had told him to keep
down the overhead. His posi-
ton dep !nded upon it. He too
must make good, he too knew
the flick of fear.
What would you consider a
business that would warrant
it?" asked Stephen.
The general manager named
a figure that made him draw in
his breath.
After Truesdale had gone,
Stephen began planning. If
Hester was to have this sepa-
rate dwelling, he'd have to
touch that figure within the
year. He gathered himself to-
gether for the effort. Now, early
in the morning, he went to his
office in order that before the
steady hum of big business be-
gan and he was surrounded
with the substantial success he
was bringing to the oil bust
ness, he might imagine more
and more fully how a man liv.
ing ever on the edge of starva-
ton could be taught to want
light.

Armistice Day Speech
Sets Preparedness
As Best Defense
BY EARL GOODWIN
Text of President ROOSevelt's
speech on Page 4.

Speaking to the world through
the medium of an Armistice Day
speech at Arlington today, Presi-
dent Roosevelt served notice that
while the United States is seri-
ously taking steps to preserve
peace, it intends to expand its
armaments to the point where
national defense is adequate.
At the same time he promised
that the policy of self-protection
will not under this Administration
extend to one Of aggression. This
country will not take part in
Europe's wars.
Agreement With Canada
He took occasion, also to an
nounce that he had concluded a
definite agreement with the prime
minister of Canada (which will
eliminate disagreementS and un-
reasonable restrictions" pointing
out that "the power of example is
the strongest force in the
world"
President Roosevelt did not
mince words when he expressed
extreme dissatisfaction with the
recent fashion of agressor nations
in invading a country, Staying,
burning and conquoring without
the technical preliminary of a
declaration of war. This, it was
taken to mean, is a direct slap
at the Japanese invasion Of
China, as well as the present
Italian expedition into Ethiopia.
He led up to this strong criti-
cism and exposition Of the gov
ernment's attitude toward the
present italian activities by a
statement of the United States
peace policy:
