bury has set a standard.
Among the important business
items was the mention of the $1. 000
bled“ which is Connecticut's share
toward the national headquarters at
Washington for the General Federa-
tion of Women' 1 clubs.
There will be a. state pub.
remained- unpledged from Connecti-
cut clubs. There will be a state pub-
lication tuned three times yearly at
a subscription price of 25 cents and
to be known as the Connecticut Club
Courier.
It is of especial interest to us that
in the first issue of . is paper. our
own association recei praiseworthy
mention from the iri‘ield County
Vice President. Min Emily Louise
Plumley who. in her report of Fair-
fleld County writes as follows: "From
culture to cooking. music to man-
ners. study. sweeping. art and arith-
metic. Fairneld County Clubs point
from Daubury music. Bridgeport art
and Greenwich culture to as compre-
hensive and fine a piece of civic ser-
vice under the “‘estport Town 1m~
provement Association. as can be
shown in the whole
breadth of Connecticut." On the floor
of the convention she again enthus-
iastically commended the association.
Our next step of triumph was on
the evening of Thursday when after
dinner at Hotel Elton for the dele-
gates a meeting was held to hear the
reports of all the club presidents. Af-
tcr an impressive procession in which
each president carried a. candle
which she lighted from one large
candle representing the source and
oneness of inspiration of the many
clubs from the one great federation.
the reports followed many of them
interesting. many of them dull but
none of them more comprehensive
than the work of our own associa-
tion. Our president gave the most
complete. concise and astoundingiy
worth while program of the year's ac—
tivity. She kept within the allotted
three minutes which few others did
and received for her reward spontan—
eous applause and gasps of wonder
at the balance of $4.000 after a year
of such accomplishment. “‘e had
reason to be proud of her. No other
president had better presence. and
none gave a. more intelligent outline
of just what was asked—s. summary
of the past year's activity.
On Friday. reports were read of
the convention of the General Feder-
ation of lVomen's Clubs held at At-
lanta. A list of the interests that
were discussed there. and in the
State convention \x'iil serve to Show
the scope of \xomcn'n activity: lilit-
eracy. Forestry. Insurance. Traffic
in Drugs. Art. Music. Sugar (‘on-
sumption. Preservation of the \Vild
Flower. Education. Literature and
Rcvrcntions,
jet'ts timely information “as given
and some suggestion fur an active
program for the coming year.
In the report of the art work the
chairman spoke of having sent out
questionnaires to all clubs so that
she mlghgknow what was being done
in the state. Her fir.t reply came
from Mrs. Rollin Sherwood, chairman
of the Art Committee of ”that wide
awake organization in \Vestpur‘.."
Then again in the report on For-
estry. Mrs. Gerard mentioned us as
one of the first friends of a Forestry
program in Connecticut; Our asso-
ciation gave her $10 at the same
time that she received another small
personal subscription. She described
this first money "as a bolt Out of the
blue that started the fund which has
now mounted to over $700" which is
fast buying up waste lands. replant-
ing them and giving them back to
the state. This land can be bought
for 88 an acre. Our president. for
this association subscribed 840 for 6
acres to help the splendid work. In
speaking of our gift Mrs. Gerard
said "from that wonderful club
whose report you heard last night."
The convention voted to assess all
clubs twenty cents on each member-
ship. ten cents of this to be used by
the state federation and ten cents to
go to the general federation. In this
way. all clubs belonging to the stats
federation will automatically become
members of the general federation.
Entitled to send delegates to‘ the na-
tional convention. It passed also a
resolution to support President Hard-
ing's plan for a World Court for In-
ternational Arbitration to Prevent
War.
Two other splendid talks were given
during the two days. one on Thursday
afternoon. on "The Literature of Re-
volt." by Dr. MeIllyar Hamilton Lich-
liter of Newtonville. Mass. It was a
strong appeal to the makers of pub-
lic opinion. the mothers of the na-

Two Famous Pictures
to Be Sold at Auction
LONDON. May 23.—-—Two famous
pictures, Herkomer's "The Last Nua-
ter.” and Holman Hunt's “The
Scrapegoat." will be sold by auction
during the. next two months.
For many years the two pictures
were in the collection of the late Sir
Cuthbcrt Quilter, and when that col-
lection was sold at Christie's inn 1909.
“The Last. Muster" realized no less a
sum than 315.500.
"The Last Muster." which repre-
sents a. Sunday service at Chelsea Hos-
pital. was the picture of the year at-
the 1876 Academy. the Selection
Committee clapping their hands when
it was put on the easel.
I"I‘he Scrapegoat" has 'Just returned
from a voyage to Australia. where it
has been on view. It was painted at
Oosdom. on the margin of the salt-
encrustcd shallows of the Dead Sea.
with the mountains of Edom as a
background.
At the Quilter Sale of 1909. there
was an intention to secure the picture
for the nation. but the "National"
limit of ”2.500 was surpassed by an-
other 31.500. The picture made its
' first appearance at auction in 1862.
when it realized 82.375.
The two pictures are being sold at
the. instance of the executors of the
late Sir Cuthbert Quilter.
Hard Luck Follows
This Little Family
A peculiar and unusual series of
tragedies has followed the family of
Mrs. Sarah Flannery of Montrose. a
village near Sioux Falls. S. D.. says
the New York “’orid. Recently Ger-
trude, her twelve~year~old daughter.
dropped dead as she was preparing
to retire for lhc night. The girl had
been the victim of heart trouble dur-
ing the last few years.
Some years ago the father of Mrs.
Flannery was found dead in bed as
the result of a sudden attack of heart
failure. and some time later her
mother died in the same manner.
Her hsband. Peter. was instantly
killed several years ago. being caught
at the engine in the Flannery imple-
ment house in Montrose. Mrs. Flan-
nery herself must be free from heart
trouble. or the numerous shocks she
has experienced by the sudden deaths
of members of her family would have
killed her long since.
Since her husband's death she has
gone bravely ahead with life's work
and has reared her young family to
the point where four of her children
are nearly through school and ready
to assist in supporting the family.

THE DAILY SENTINEL
Bold Ofiender
Turns Up Again
in South Africa
LONDON. May zap-Information
has reached London from Johannes-
burg of the arrest there of Carl Lud-
wig von Veltheim. It is said that
South Africa wants to get rid of him
and that he is to be deported. ‘
Nothing has been heard from von
Veltheim since 1918. but none of those
who are familiar with his career are
surprised that he has turned up again.
There has been enough of crime, at!-
venture aud romance in-his life to
provide material for a dozen exciting
works of fiction. He is preeminently
cut out for an adventurer. Had he
lived in an earlier time he might have
been a. very successful bandit or pirate
or revolutionist. He is built on a. big
scale and is well equipped with brains,
audacity and courage. and has not
been a. bit squeamish about ways and
means.
Von Vcltlicim is six feet four inches
in height and a strikingly handsome
man. A previous marriage never
stopped him from marrying another
woman. nor when he was hard u'p,
did he hesitate to run very serious
financial risks to raise the cash he
needed. He was born in Brunswick
66 years ago and started out as a
sailor, but he found that life on the
ocean was too monotonous to suit his
tastes. He abandoned the see. by the
simple" and summary processor de-
ssrting his ship. and took to the land.
Carl Ludwlx first came into the
limelight of publicity on an interna-
tional scale by shooting Wolf Joel.
a nephew of the famous Barney Bar-
nato. at Johannesburg in 1898. It
was after he had called at Joel's office
and-demanded money of him, which
Joel refused. When charged with
the murder he secured acquittal on
the plea of self defense.
But: "easy money" had now ob-
tained a fatal attraction for Von Vel-
theim. Some years later he called at
selomon Barnato Joel's office in Lon-
don and threatened to do for Mr. Joel
unless he handed over 880,000. Lon-
don is the worst ”place in the world
to raise money in that way. and Von
Veltheim was sentenced to 20 years
penal servitude.
Public opinion generally condemned
the sentence as too severe and von
Veltheim was released after serving
15 years and interned as an enemy
alien. In 1918 he‘was repatriated to
Germany and from there made his
way again to South Africa.
When a fire occurs in Chile the
owner or occupant of the», burned
building is arrested and made to
prove that he is not guilty of having
caused the fire.

GERMAN VILLAGES STUDY
~' WAYS TO TAX BACHELOR
COLOGNE. May 23.—(By The As-
sociated Press).—How to tax a. bach-
elor for being a. bachelor is puzzling a
number of communities in the Rhine
land. especially in localities where the
authorities are for the most part mar-
ried men with families.
The little town of Repelen. near
the Dutch border. decided simply to
call a spade and declared an out-and-
out "bachelor tax" of 2.000 marks a
month. Young men between 18 and
23 years of age were permitted ‘a. 25
per cent rebate. and complete im-
PAGE ELEVEN
mu:.ity was provided for such un-
married chaps as had little or no in-
come. The latter clause wrecked the
scheme, for it ran the town amuck of
the‘ federal finance ministry at Berlin.
which ruled the income tax was a sole
and pet protege of the central
authorities. Therefore. the ministry
decreed. neither Repelcn nor any
other German community could levy
against an lndividual's earnings.
Hamborn profited by its little neigh-
bor‘s experience and so disguised the
tax that it comes under the lead of
‘per capita" menu. yet reads
“For Bachelors Only" between the
lines. The Hamborn city fathers wise-
ly avoided making any reference to a
man's income.
Sixty per cent. more automobiles
were produced in 1922 than in 1921.
