Now when Lightfoot, following

Now when Lightfoot, following
behind the hunter, had lost the
scent of the latter, he guessed right
away that the latter had found his
tracks and had started to follow
them. Lightfoot stood still and lis
tened with all his might for some
little sound to tell him where the
hunter was. But there was no sound
and after a little Lightfoot began
to move on. He didn't dare remain
still lest the hunter should creep
up within shootdng distance.

mems group opposing merger of the
three branches of Methodism will
file suit next week in Kansas City
asking court to declare the uniting
conference illegal and void, an

The 900 Methodist delegates and

nent injunction would be requested,
after which separate suits would be
filed in States where extensive

Marriage Code Change
Is Studied by Seal

Corporation Counsel Ewood Seal
has taken under advisement the
recommendation of George c. Ruh-
land, District health officer. for an
amendment to the District code
necessitating examination and lab
oratory tests for venereal diseases of
all applicants for marriage licenses
and the notification of common law
marriages.
The proposal sent to Mr.. Seal yes
terday for study specifies before q
license of marriage may be issued
the applicant must present a Ger
tlf1cate from licensed physician
stating "the person either is not
infected with venereal diseases or is
not In a stage which may become
communicable.
The amendment states sociological
blood tests for syphilis and such
other standard laboratory tests as
may be indicated for the discovery
OF venereal diseases" must be made.
The regulation would limit test to
within 30 days prior to date of mar
riage and make invalid a license not
used within 80 days. The Health
Department would issue standard
forms to physicians and laboratory
heads. All reports would be held In
confidence, according to the pro-
visions.
No marriage ceremony could be
performed without the certificate of
health being attached to the license.
Marriage by mutual agreement
common law marriage-thus would
be prohibited.
In an emergency, on presentation
Of proper evidence. a judge may
waive the filing requirement, but
later must make a full report to the
licensing authority. Violation of the
amendment carries a penalty Of q
fne. but no Jail sentence.

HEARING ASSIGNED
 NEW COMMISSION
State Development May Succeed State Publicity
 Commission
(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(By Democrat Legislative Rep0rter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, Feb. B. A bill creating State Development Commission to Supplant the present State Publicity Commission has been set down for a hearing on March 9. Drawn up by the state re- mobilization committee and the Eastern Connecticut Economic Sur vey, the bill calls for a commission of nine members, whose duty 1t shall be to study present industrial conditions, seek to attract new in- dustries to the state, give out in- formation relative to the state, and cooperate with promotional and re- search groups.
 Among those invited to attend the hearing on the bill is E. Vincent Maloney. publisher of the Water bury Democrat, and one of the three members of the State Publicity Commission.
 Backers of the bill declare that poor business conditions, particular ly in the eastern part of the state. mean both unemployment and in- creased taxes. The loss in manu. factured products in the eastern section of the state from 1920 to 1885, they say, amounted to $300,- 000,000, a sum sufficient to operate the state government for six years.
 The State Development Commis- sion would include six citizen mem- bers, who will receive no pay but will be given their expenses, and three shall be heads of state de- partment or agencies.
 The bill calls for an appropria- ton of $i00,000 for the two-year period beginning July 1.

SUFFIELD NAMES
 NEW HEADMASTER
J. Schereschewsky, Har- ward Graduate of 1882,
 Elevated to Post
(Special to The Democrat)

Suffleld, Conn.,, Feb. 25- The Board of Trustees of Suff1eld Academy, newly elected John F. Schereschewsky as headmaster. MT. Schereschewsky has been senior master of the junior school since 1885. He is graduate of Harvard in the class of 1882.
 MT. Schereschewsky was mem Der of the Harvard Varsity football team during his last two years in college and in his senior year was halfback on Barry Woods team. He played in the east-west exhibition game in the 1892 Olympics in Los Angeles. He was instructor at Browne and Nichols school, Cam bridge, Mass. for one year, and in- structor and director of athletics at the Fessenden school, West New ton, Mass. for two years, before go- ing to Suffield. During the vaca- tions he founded and directed the Summer Sports Club, a coeducation- al day-camp which has grown to be the largest and most successful in the vicinity of Boston.
 The present headmaster of Suf- field, Brownell Gage, Ph. D., has been made a member of the Board of Trustees and Executive Secretary of the board. His relief from the duties of headmaster will enable him to devote his time to the pro- motion of the interests of the in- stitution among its alumni and friends, and to the development of its building program. MT. Gage, be- fore coming to Suffleld was Provost of the College of Yale in China, at Changsha, where he lived and taught from 1904 until 1923. He graduated from Yale in 1898 and received the degree of Ph. D. there in 1924. He has been headmaster for fifteen years, and now has been made Headmaster Emeritus.
 The change of headmasterS and the new work delegated to MT. Gage came at the beginning of @ new epoch in the history of Suffield Academy. For the past few decades the school has served as high school for the Town of Suffield and more than half the students were sent by the town. Now @ new high school is being built and the Suffield Academy will be able to devote It. self entirely to the work of pri- vate school. One of its first efforts will be to improve its plant and equipment, that they may be fully adequate for a school that has the highest standards in faculty and teaching.

this Association would be allowed to close or curtail it's services, and I am sure I share the opinion of most other people that its services are indispensable to the welfare of this city. Its los would be a distinct tragedy, for, with the ser- vices rendered, it fills gap be- tween hospital service and the physician, and also is of inestim- able value in cases where contin- uous nursing service is not neces- sary. The health work and preven- tive work, particularly in the pre- natal and post-partum care of mothers, and in infant welfare, cannot be measured in terms of dollars and cents. feel confident that you will have no trouble rais- ing the necessary funds to maia- tain this most essential organiza- ton and service when the matter is brought forcibly before the pulp lie.
