her introduction by emphasizing the

of every woman to whom the casting

tering of a personal conviction based
upon a knowledge of facts. Merely

construction of which one might be
in total ignorance.

of honor had commended Mary's
choice of the "better part" for she
had sat at the feet of the: great
teacher and learned about the things
of permanent value.
Mrs. Benjamin l". Anderson pre-
sented the topic of study “The Elec-
ting of the President of the. United

a careful understanding of the.

fact that a. junior High school lo-
cated on this property would be as
centrally located as on other sites.
the idea failed to receive favorable
comment. Another thing which
placed the property in an unfavor-

tigation has convinced us that a
fraud has been perpetrated. and the
state society voted to take the names
of these two colleges off the list.

office and that you correctly under-

two men whom he had given a ride
from Danhury to Sorwaik. Ray~
mond had been making collections
in Danbury yesterday for the local
concern and during the day had ac—
cumulated a large roll of one dollar
bills. The roll being too large to
place in his pockets of his trousers,
he put it in one of his overcoat
pockets.
After finishing his work in Dan-
bury. he left in :1 Eco speed wagon
for home about 5:15 last evening
and as he “as going up Park avenue.
one of the streets leading out of
Danbury. the two men asked him for
a. ride.
The mt'n got in the Stat with him
and during the trip told him that
they were going to New York and
had been up in Danbury looking for
work. They got out of the truck at
the Armory and Raymond proceed-
ed to the store of Berman and Stein-
berg in \Vater street. and upon go-
ing into the office of the bookkeeper
found that he had been robbed.
Taking an automobile Raymond
went to the Armory and drove down
the Post road as far as'Darien. but
could find no trace of the. two men.
Be notified the Dar-ten authorities
and gave him a description of the
men.
He described .one of the men as
wearing a soft hat, a light overcoat
and seemed about 25 years of age.
The other. he stated, wore a cap and
dark overcoat and was about the
same age. Both men he said were
about five feet five inches tall.
Raymond believes that one of the
men during the ride from Danbury
must have slipped his hand into his
pocket. and taken the bills. _
The local police are investigating
the case in the hope that the men
did not leave the city last evening.
