GRADUATES HEAR
 REV N. B. NASH
St. Margaret's Girls Hear Episcopal Theological
 School Speaker

Rev. Dr. Norman B. Nash, of the Episcopal Theological school in-Cam- bridge, Mass, speaker at the bac- calaureate service of the graduating class of St. Margaret's school Sun day afternoon at St. Johns Epis- copal Church, pointed out that edu- cation for women, now an accepted fact, was won at the cost of great effort. Rev. Dr. John N. Lewis, rec tor of the church, conducted the service.
 Speaking on education in general Dr. Nash said that the knowledge and information that Is available today in schools and colleges repre- sents centuries of work, with the attendant sacrifices of thousands of lives, and the unrewarded study of innumerable persons. It is shame, he said, to regard such knowledge as commonplace. and more shame full still to use it only for personal profit.

New State Highway Route ! Through Bucks Hill to
 ! Be Discussed

Highway Commissioner William J. Cox and Senator George T. Cul- hane win attend mass meeting at the Bucks Hill Community house tonight and will lead the discussion of plans for the paving of North Main street to Bucks Hill, and the construction of a new state highway through Bucks Hill to meet the Wa terbury-B Bristol highway.
 Senator Culhane has arranged for the visit by Commissioner Cox. The meeting is sponsored by the Bucks Hill Community club.
 Paving of North Main street, from Saving street north, was provided for in Q bill passed by the state legislature two years ago but work on the highway was never begun. The bill made North Main street part of the state trunk line system as 8 north-South route to Water- bury.
 The new highway through Bucks Hill to Wolcott and the Waterbury Bristol road has been discussed for several years. Proponents claim it would be an important and convent e1t highway link and shorten the travelling distance to Bristol, Hart ford and other points.
 Bus service to Bucks Hill for 8 90-day experimental period has been begun by the c. R. & L. Lines, by virtue of an agreement with the Public Utilities Commission.

FLANAGAN ADOPTS
 LATEST PROCESS
Clothes Rendered MOth- proof By Latest Method;
 No Extra Cost

A new process of clothes cleaning, that renders mothproof while they are being cleaned, has recently been instituted by the Flanagan Cleaners, Inc, 75 Watertown avenue. This method, known as the Monite Moth- proof Cleaning Process, is absolutely harmless, odorless, and non-poison- ous.
 An executive of the Flanagan Cleaners, Inc, explained that the process involves the use of a special chemical solution in the regular cleaning fund, and ma, iabr.cs so treated are made moth resistant in every fibre. It was pointed out that any other method of mothproofing is less efficient; since creases, seams, and hems might be overlooked or be actually inaccessible.
 The Flanagan Cleaners, Inc, is Waterbury's exclusive licensee for the Monite Process, that privilege having been extended them by the Monite Company of St. Louis, Mo.
 Garments treated by the Monite Process are insured against moth damage for a period of six months, while rugs are insured for 8 period of one year. The insurance offered by the Flanagan Cleaners, Inc, is carried by one of the country's larger insurance companies, the Aetna h. surance Go. of Hartford.
 William E. Flanagan of the F.lan- agan Cleaners, Inc, said of the pro- cess. we are offering this new in- novation in clothes care for the pro- lection of our customers. It is an added service we feel every garment should have. And while it is worth untold money to the people of Wa terbury, we are offering it without one cents additional cost over our regular cleaning prices"

7 YEAR BATTLE
 FOR LIFE ENDS

Norwalk, Conn, June 5-UP)- The seven-year fight for life of Walter Underhill, Jr., 16, i'll of rheu- matic fever, was over today.
 Each day, for seven years, the steamboats which entered Norwalk harbor blew their whistles in a trib- ute to Walter, who heard them from his bedroom. His father is an engi- neer aboard harbor boat.
 A year ago, all hope was abandon. ed for the youth. But the whistles still continued to blow, until yester- day, when they grew quiet. The boy was dead.

 Washington, June 5-(UP)-King George VI and Queen Elizabeth will ride in triumph June 8 over the route to the White House that His Majesty's victorious door r-die storm brigade trod 125 years ago on its way to sack and burn this same White House.
 The common route of the invader of the last century and the good will visitors of 1889 is broad Penn sylvania avenue. In 1914 1t was the only street in Washington that did not become @ loblolly after a shower.
 The White House is the same building, basically, which British soldiers, intoxicated with victory and President Madison's wine, burned. From smoke-blackened walls the building was rebuilt after the invas- ion. The granite walls and floors are the same. It, of course, has been enlarged and rebuilt several times.
 American Broke Ranks ~
 The capture of Washington, the deepest blot on American arms, was accomplished by 4,500 infantrymen without artillery, who made a forced march through jungle wilderness after maneuvering their light ships up the Patuxent river in a flanking naval coup. Two Americans to each Briton, plus cavalry and artillery. faced the invader at Bladensburg. but the green militiamen broke at the first charge, leaving 10 dead, 40 wounded and the capital. The enc engagement lasted three hours that suitry afternoon of Aug. 24. 1874.
 George Robert dleig, e writer ace companying the invaders, reported that the British were provoked to retaliation when persons in c house near the Capitol fired on a truce party bearing terms to the city.
 "The indignation excited by this act was such as the nature of the case would not fail to occasion" dieig related. "The troops advanced forthwith and, having first put to the sword all those found in the house from which tho shots were fired. and reduced it to ashes. they proceeded with out c moments de- lsy to h,xn end destyey everything

Nations Proud Avenue To Hail King
 In Contrast To Day 125 Years Ago

That gentleman. I am creditably in- formed, had gone forth in the morn- ing with the army and then had continued with his troops until the British forces appeared. Whether the sight of his enemies cooled his courage or not cannot say, but ac- cording to my informant. no sooner was the glittering of our arms dis cernible than he began to discover that his presence was more wanted in the Senate than in the field; and having ridden through the ranks and exhorted every man to do his duty, he hurried back to his own house, that he might prepare a feast for his officers when they should return victorious.
 Soldiers Enjoyed Feast
 For the truth of these details I will not be answerable; but this much I know, that the feast was actually prepared, though, instead of being devoured by American of- ficers, 1t went to satisfy the less delicate appetite of a party of Eng fish soldiers. When the detachment set out to destroy, MT. Madison's house, entered his dinning parlor, they found a table spread and cov- CTS laid for 40 guests.
 Several kinds of wine in hand some cut glass decanters were cool ing on the sideboard; plate holders stood by the fireplace, filled with dishes; plates, knives, forks and spoons. were arranged for imme- diate use: in the kitchen spits loaded with joints of various sorts turned before the fire; pots, sauce pans stood upon the grate; and all requisites for an elegant and sub- stantial repast were in the exact state which indicated that they had been lately and precipitately aban- doned.
 '"rhe soldiers sat down to 1t. not indeed in the most orderly manner, but with countenances that would not have disgraced 6 party of'alder- men at c civil feast: and having satisfied their appetites with fewer complaints than would have prob- ably escaped their rival eoirmands, and partaken freely of wines. they finished by setting fire to the house which had go literally entertained tHNAkA
