 The request to Washington has been made in order that the plan as it would operate here might be outlined to city officials, and the need for it then considered with a better understanding of the city'S obligations.
 A local delegation has studied the operation of the plan in Hartford and Springfield, and has assembled a large quantity of literature on the subject. Serving on the committee have been the mayors secretary John P. Fitzmaurice; Welfare Sup erintendent Martin F. Hayden, Sec- retary Frank Green of the Chamber of Commerce, and several repres- entatves of grocers and butchers.
 Hartford, where the plan has been acclaimed a success, is now seeking to the federal cotton stamp plan in troduced there. Mayor Thomas Spel- lacy has made such a request of the government.

All the world thrills to the coming of Spring but to all of us collectively or individually, 1t has a very definite significance. Its Advent has a special meaning to the scientist and astronomer, and when March q rolls around it has still anther suggestion to the golfer, the fisherman, the poet, the Brooklyn ball fan and to the gardener.
 But to a neWSpaperman It al- ways meant the arrival Of Dexter Fellows, with his genial smile, his unbiquitous cigar, his extensive vocabulary crammed with new and better adjectives, his brief case replete with news releases of the circus and his pickets stuffed with passes. With Spring came Dexter Fellows from the winter quarters of the Big Top, fresh from hlber- nation at Sarasota, Florida.
 Dexter Missed
 The Fourth Estate, ever skeptl- cal of press agents, always re- ceived him with open arms and blind faith. Two Springs have come and gone; a third is with us. But not Dexter, for he had done his bit for the circus lover and now he rests in a little cemetery in his home town, New Britain, Conn. and up to now in an un- marked grave.
 Failure to recognize this man who had done so much for the circus troubled and worried some of his intimate friends, and last summer F. Darius Benham, for mer reporter for the "New York World" and founder of the now famous Circus Saints and Sinners Club of America. decided to do something. A campaign was inl- tiated, funds were soliced and finally last week the drive to erect a monument on DeXter's grave went over the top, significantly enough with the arrival of the circus in New York.
 So next Wednesday the Circus Saints and Sinners Club, whose local chapter is named the Dexter Fellows Tent, vii make a pilgrim age to the grave for this posthu- nous recognition. There will be a special train from Grand Central to take many of Dexter's friends to New Britain for the dedication. MT. Benham will unveil the mem- olial and impressive ceremonies will be conducted by Harold G. Hoffman, former Governor of New Jersey and national president of the club. Mrs. Signe Fellows, DeX- ter's widow, will be present with a large group of his former friends and neighborS and Governor Ray mond E. Baldwin of Connecticut and his staff will also, attend as well as the local municipal auth critics.
 Granite Monument
 The monument typifieS the cir GUS. Ten feet high, of Rock of Ages granite, it is trimmed at the top with a frieZe to represent a circus tent. The facade bears the silhouette of Old John, DeXter's favorite elephant, and below is a profile in bold relief of the famous press agent adapted from a pho- tograph by Bob Davis.
 In arranging for the monument MT. Benham had the cooperation of many newspapermen, and for the epitaph inscribed a committee selected the one written by the celebrated columnist H. I. Phillips. Here are the words of MT. Phil lips:
 He made the hearts of children
 leap
 He made both young and old Their faith in childhood fancieS
 keep
 By circus tales he told.
 And with the dedication of the monument MT. Benham has ar ranged for the many admirers of Dexter in the newspaper profess sion to attend, at least those who
