Two Hours. Three Norwallr men narrowly escaped drowning yesterday when the boat in which they were fishing six miles out in the sound was swamped by heavy seas early last night. They were Harry Lsndis, Charles '1'. Smith and Arthur 0. Kelly. They made Betts' island with diilleulty and were marooned there until in- genious measures were taken to make the trip back to shore possible. The party started out early yes- terday morning for blackilsh and. finding the fishing good, had stayed out in the Sound about nine hours regardless of the increasingly rough water. Finally a cold wind blew up. This made the trio uncomfortable and they turned back toward shore, only to find progress practically im- possible. Waves dashed over the little 10 footer, whicli is owned by Kelly. and the boat began to fill. After a'des- perate struggle Betts’ island was reached. Realizing the impossibility of making shore because of the way the seas were running the men held a council. of war. and faced with a wet, hungry and sleepless night on the island, they decided to push on with a shelter rigged over the front of the craft. An old door was lashed to the bow and this kept the water from entering the boat. It took the party over two hours to make the main~ land. from theiisland and the men reached shore about 8:30 last night. S '11] Flag Day Service! ”A?

Knights of Columbus. which is one of the most thriving councils in the state. must enlarge its headquarters in West Washington street. to keep Up with the ever increasing mem- berthip. This expansion was the subject for much discussion at a largely st- tendcd meetihg last evening. After John F. McMahon. chair- man- of the Home Association, had made his report, various plans for new quarters were discussed. At one time it had been planned to erect an entire new home. possibly in West avenue. Discussion at the meeting last evening proved that most of the members wish to re- main at their present quarters which were purchased several years ago. Therefore it was planned to take over the entire three upper floors of the building. They now use about half of this space. At present there are tenants in the two other apart- ments. Partitions between the pres— ent quarters and the apartments will be torn down. which will double the size of the present floor space. A committee of 12 influential mem- bers of the council will be appoint- ed io plan for these changes. Lecturer Thomas F. McMahon in- troduced Attorney Edward J. Quin- lan and Frederick J.

Sexton Addresses Kiwanis Club At Lunch- eon—“Getting By" Not Right Spirit. “A real American attitude on life is one of helical. intelligent. per- sistent, hard work. To be sure. this is not an over-popular attitude in the present moment, but it is the only attitude on life. that produces anything ill it is worth while or eat» isfnctory. No matter how much na- tive genius a man may possess. it will never be shy use to him or his fellows, unless there is down-right. earxi‘st, intelligent. persistent. hard work. with the native ability." Thus did Ernest L. Sexton. county secretary of' the Y. M. C. A. phrase ,his solution of the day‘s problem i in an address yesterday at the Royal lJames Inn to the members of the Kiuanls club. In his resume of the American attitude he remarked upon the habitual belief by a ma- . jcrlty of people that they are "get- ting away with it." citing instances to prove that such is not actually the case. ’ “Most of us have no excuse for trying to live life on a basis of get« ting away with it. Blind Homer or epileptic Caesar might have had an excuse, but not we. A boy born of a despised race in an age when public sympathy was against him. absolutely pcnniless. started out in make the most of his life. By hard work. he got an education. He be- came the leader of his race until the presidents of the United States were honored to count him among their intimate friends. Booker T. Washington became one of the great men of all time." The solution of the problem lies in the hands of the business men. with standards best represented in civic clubs like the Kiwanis, scab-d- l l i declared: “A true American attitude on life is not that of getting by. but of earnest, persistent. hard work in the face of all kinds of difficulties. That is an American attitude that we may be happy to set the style in. Mr. Sexton in giving examples of the "getting away with it" attitude said: ‘ b "If you could observe a certain high-powered car carrying five hil- arious New Yorkers, tearing along over the Post road at 50 or 70 miles an hour. you no doubt would have remarked that they were getting away with it. but if you had hap- pened along Just‘as I did. at a cer- tain turn on the Post ‘road and seen three of them picked up dead or dy- ing. and the fourth one seriously in- Jured. you would have agreed that in the long run, in that case. they did not get away with it. -l~‘ur Siorge. 2 per cent. of val- uation: remodeling. repairing. glas- ing at reduced prices.
