The report shows that the number of block captains in all the city schools has been Increased by twenty-one per cent, above the enrollment In the preceding school term.

Girls High is a close second, with 327 captains, and Xew Utrecht Annex 105, third, with 286. As has been the custom In the past, arrangements have been completed with the school authorities by which the pupils participating In tle anti-litter drive will receive credit for this activity on their school markings. The credit will be based on the monthly reports made by the "pupils to the association. Tho association is prepared to examine these reports as soon as they are received and to mark them mn the basis of the character of the neighborhood, the regularity of the inspection made by the boys and girls reporting and on the neatness of the return.

Nov. 6 (U P).

Tho Republicans maintained their large majorities in both houses of the legislature as a result of yesterday's election. The one upset occurred In Middlesex County where Arthur A. Quinn, Democrat, was elected over Russell K. Watsun, Republican, by 3,000 votes. Although Quinn had been elected State Senator and all other County Democratic candidates bad been victorious, two of the three Republican Assembly candidates had managed to nose In ahead of their Democratic opponents at the end of a tight race.

This would mean that the Democrats would lose two seats in the lower house they previously held, the present balance of that house being thirty-six Republicans to fourteen Democrats. The Major Goes Down to Defeat Smiling The News To-day By WILLIAM MOBRIS India, Fabulous Land of the Best and of the Worst, Is to Have a New Deal, it Appears, from the New Britain That Is Trying to Heal Her Wounds Oyster and Chop House Brooklyn Institution 50 Years It now appears that India is soon to be given Dominion status within the British Empire, a condition somewhat similar to that enjoyed by Canada and Australia. The British Parliament was prepared for a debate on the question, the Conservatives being primed for an attack upon the Government, when the wind was taken from their sails by the publication of extracts from speeches by statesmen of all parties promising the same thing to India within the past ten years. It thus seems possible that TndiaS Services, Play and Banquet to Extend Four Days Parishioners of St. Pancras R.

C. Church, at Myrtle avenue and DcBoo place, Glendale, will gather at a solemn high mass of thanksgiving in the church next Sunday at 11 A. M. to begin a four-day celebration of the silver jubilee of the establishment of the congregation. Tho Rev.

Francis Wuensch will be the celebrant and the lit. Rev. Thomas E. Molloy. Bishop wf Brooklyn, will be present.

The Rev. George Dorman, of St. Benedict's parish, will be deacon; the Rev. A. Rath will be sub-deacon.

The strmon will be preached by the Itev. Roger J. Smith, C. of St. John's College.

During tho services a special musical program will provided by Harry Karle, organist, and previous to the mass thora will be a procession of the various ohurch societies from the parish house on Myrtle avenue to the church. In the form of a parish get-together there will be a reception on Monday evening in the school auditorium, where the old and new V. A.

Gnge at 303 Fulton street, the restaurant became known as Gage and Tollner's In 1882 when Eugene Tollner entered the business and In 1892 the business moved to Its present site, where It has been more or less of a landmark ever since.

In 1911, Messers Gage and Tollner decided to retire and turned the business over to Cunningham and Ingalls, who had agreed to maintain the traditions of the place. A life of inaetlvity, however, did not suit Mr. Tollner, who shortly afterward returned to his work and haii continued there ever since. In 1919 Seth Bradford Dewey, his father, Hiram 8. Dewey, and a friend, Alexander Graham, took over the business and it has continued ever since with the younger Mr.

Dewey In active charge. A distinct feature of the restaurant la the long service which so many of Its employes have given to the place. John Anderson, the oyster man, who died last May, hart been there for nearly fifty years; "Ike" Gasklll, the present head waiter thirty-three notches; "Mike" Messah has also fondled the succulent oyster for many a long year and several of the waiters have their first quarter 'of a century well behind them. When the anniversary is celebrated, says a notice to the customers, "there will be no brass bands, fire-works, Jara nor modernltdlc high jinks.

India Is a land cursed by divisions Into castes; by the division of the people into Hindus and Moslems who hate and despise each other; by brutal, wealthy, powerful and arrogant native rulers who luxuriate In wealth and Immorality and Impoverish their people. Out of this mass of contradictions has grown modern India, about which the truth cannot be told In a single Mother India," or ten times ten replies to that book. Out of It has come the Ghandl movement, headed by a single-minded, pure-souled fanatlo who sought to unite Uie religions, abolish caste lines and lead India back into tho domestic Industry of three centuries ago.

India was full of dynamite ten years ago when the war was over and many Indlnn soldiers came back strong in the knowledge of their might. India nearly blew up In anticipation of the visit of the Prince of Wales In 1919. and when a lunntlc In a British general's uniform ordered the Amrltsar mnssncre. But patience, good Intentions, the Infinite tact nnd genius of Lord Heading, and the passnge of time, healed many wounds. The Britain of to-day Is not the Rritaln ot CHve or of the davs of the Mutiny, or even ot 1900.

The Conservatives to-day are far more progressive than the Liberals of even Camp-bell-Bannerman's day. It Is a new nation that Is meeting the people of India and offering them self government. And It is a new page In one of the most amazingly In teresting chapters In -world history will shortly be given a form of self-government that will make her "daughter In her mother'! house, but mistress In her own." It is impossible to writs about India without superlatives. The oldest nation in the world, the largest population and the densest crowding; the greatest wealth, the most dreadful poverty, the greatest nobility, the poorest spirits. So vast are the numbers one must use In speaking of India that there Is even a short Hindu word for a lao.

And India Is the land In which Great Britain has shown her greatest and her meanest sides. Whatever happens, whatever the fate of India, the world muHt be vitally Interested If only for the fact that too often the plague originates out of the filth there nnd unless there Is sanitation In India, the world may be cursed at any time with a modern Black Death. The history of India goes far back and is lost In the mists of antiquity, and many critics of India seem to see in that great age cause for what they say Is national degeneracy. India wag there in the dayfe. of Alexander; India was the glittering goal of the merchants of Venice.

India was conquered by Plr Mohammed, the grandson of Timour the Lame, known as Tam-erlano; and his grandson, Akhar, founded the great line of Mongol emperors who ruled, father and son, for six generations and tlx magnificent reigns. And then came the days of commercial exploitation and rellgloun missionary work by Portugal, the Netherlands. France and Kngland: then came the impoverishment of the Indian people when their lands waa made the battlefield of the fierce struggle between French and English for the right to exploit, when Warren Hastings plundered and marvelled at his own moderation, when the'Biltlsh Government THE SOCIALIST NOSUXES Mr. Violet ana Norman Thomas wcro snapped Jti-st after two more votes lind been registered for lho Socialist ticket.
