Revere Silver

Revere was the greatest early
American silversmith. At nineteen
he took over his fathers business.
Most of the Revere silver in exist
ence was either of his manufacture
or made under his personal SUPER
vision. The design was based on
English Georgian style of the Eight
zenith century, characterized by
greater simplicity Of decoration and
beauty of proportion than is usually
found in English work. Revere sill
yer is equal to the best plate of
any country of that period. The tea
and coffee sets are among the finest
examples of any period Of the silver
smiths art.

largely because the ground sur
rounding the encampment was
marshy. Poor drainage conditions
made proper sanitation difficult,
thus exposing the troops to the rapid
spread of the disease.
The situation was further compli-
Gated by a shortage Of food. With
hardly enough provisions available
for the townsfolk, the quartering of
General Harrison's troops soon pro-
duced famine conditions which
threatened to defeat the American
campaign in this district.

And only 48 hours more for ac- tion!
 Promptly at 5 o'clock Friday af- ternoon the Democrats Most Popu- lar Baby Contest will be declared officially ended. Votes then will tell the story and regret, unified prom ises and alibis will be out of or der.
 If your vote has aided your fa- vorite in winning the title of the city's most ppoular child, as a friend, you will be privileged to march in the victory parade. If your favorite should lose by a mar row margin, perhaps by the extent of your intended vote, the regret will be exclusively yours.
 Distinction
 No popularity contest held in Wa terbury in recent years has been marked by such attractive prizes as offered to the most successful con- tenders. And no contest in the his tory of the city has been featured by such enthusiasm, interest and ac- tivity. The winner consequently will be in a position to regard his or her honor as a distinction of merit.
 Speaking of winners, it must be observed that the result of the con- test is in doubt, although two con- testants are decidedly outstanding ard loom as evident victors. They are Anthony Borrelli and Margaret Lemere. Little Anthony holds tenaciously to his lead, although within the past tWenty-four hours, Miss Lemere has narrowed the mar gin. Either would have been an easy winner in an ordinary popularity contest, but the Democrats test of popularity is decidedly out of the ordinary, it is one of the most ex- citing events of its kind ever spon- sorcd in this section of the country. The number and prominence Of the voters is ample evidence that the various candidates are not only to be congratulated for their legion Of friends, but that the Democrat IS the city's most popular paper!
 Vote Values
 Subscriptions this week are equiv- alent to one hundred votes. Look over the list of candidates and swing into action for only 48 hours remain until the tabulation of votes and

BORDER DISPUTE

 The general feeling here seemed to be that the situation which has existed for nearly 20 years, as part of which there has been no direct communication between Warsaw and KaunaS (Kovno), with no inter- national roads and no direct mail service, must be changed. There seemed a desire that international pressure should be exerted to obtain normalization of relations between the two countries. Hence there was hope that this dispute might lead in the end to restoration of relations and the opening of the frontier.
 Newspapers continued angry in tone in their discussion of the L1th- uanian incident, and popular feeling remained high.
 Plans were made for a big dem- onstration today at which the slogan would be 'Lithuania must say whether she wants peace or war" It was arranged that other protest meetings should be held in provincial cities.

manager forms of government and the merit system proposals.
 Alliance Recommended
 MT. Taft, son of the late president and nephew of Horace D. Taft, former head of Taft school at Wa tertown and incumbent president of the Connecticut Merit System AsSo- citation, had urged proponents of the plans, city management, and merit system, to ally themselves with a political party to insure success. He predicted that only in this manner could the groups working for such forms of government expect to suc- ceed and pointed to the effectuation of this policy in Cincinnati, his home city.
 The meeting was political in no small part when, aside from the ten dencies of the audience at last elec- ton, the matter of forthcoming elections was analysed in relation | to the membership drive of the l Good Government ASsociat ton. Fact 1 that President Burke of the Merit 1 System Association, was chairman, i that President White and five off, cers of the Good Government Asso- citation presently are suing the former Democratic Controller Daniel J. Leary for $60O,000, brought to- gether the past and the present, so l far as political Wedlock of various anti-Democratic units was con- cerned.
 Mayor McLevy's practical ex- plantations of methods of govern ment without the alleged pale of political supervision formed the more constructive elements of the meeting He decried patronage and some in the audience applauded. He attacked use of personal automobiles by city employees, advocating city, owned cars, a method tried and abandoned in Waterbury after the city had been made liable for inn mense sums due to damage suits, over the years since automobiles came into general municipal use.
 Competitive Bidding
 He advocated competitive bidding in the open market for city sup plies, system which the current controller, Sherwood L. Rowland, Republican, had promised at elec- tion time but has failed to evolve as office procedure at the present time.
