fully to see that 1t Is not
cracked or all work is wasted, then
wash off with warm water to remove
soil. Put aside such eggs as are to
be boiled hard and colored and In
separate mound put those with most
perfect surface for painting or other
decorations. Make very sure there LIS
no mixing, as a broken raw egg is not
pleasing.
Colored eggs can be made any tint
with special dyes, or IL these are un-
obtainable cheap ribbon can be boiled
In little water and the boiled egg
submerged in 1t until the right tone
Is acquired.
The old-fashioned calico egg will be
pleasing to this generation of young
sters. Tie each egg in a piece of
cheap figured chintz OF high color and
1t will leave its design on the ega
when put in boiling water.
II you have nothing else for color

red skins of onions.
Quaint designs can be boiled into
the egg by tracing figures on the shell

die to make white surface, then col
or the rest of the egg in dyed water.
When eggs are to be painted for
place cards or caricatures, they need
more careful treatment. Wipe the
washed egg In powdered pumice to re-
move gloss of shell and make painting
take better.
The blowing must be carefully done
or the shell will crack. Prick both
ends with coarse needle. The hole
should be just large enough to per-
NIT the contents being expelled. Too
large an opening is disfiguring, besides
making crack more probable.
Put the egg to the mouth and blow
gently at first, then hard and steadily
until nothing more comes. Rinse with
warm water and blow out several
lines again. Dry carefully so all wa
ter will run out.
To paint the egg trace the outlines
with hard pencil, then color with
good water colors, as they dry most
quickly. If the egg is to be filled with
candy one hole may be made big
enough to hold tiny candied drops.
When the shell is filled paste the hole
with thin paper.
ANY one can paint some sort of
face on an egg shell, and If further
decorations In the way of hat, hair, or
stock are added great delight will be
given.
A girl with artistic ability can make
fascinating place cards from egg shells
in the forms Of rabbits, owls, pigs,
cupid heads. old ladies, or gay bellies.
These are pasted to fat cards on
which a name or Easter greeting Ia
written In gilt letters.
When the egg represents an entire
figure the feet are painted on the
card; when only the head, 1t can be
set on. short tube to represent
neck, and this can be draped with
stock or collar.
- Use good glue in FASTING the eggs
to the card. as paste or mucilage will
not hold we'll.
Great fun for an Easter party is to
supply the blank cards, blown egg
shells, scissors, paints, and colored pa
pers and set the guests to evolving
their own egg ornaments. Prizes can
be offered for the most successful.

 BILL WANTED BY
 MANUFACTURERS
State Association Receives Report of Committee on
 Proposed Legislation

The Manufacturers Association of Connecticut at it's meeting in Hart ford, yesterday, heard a report from its committed, on a draft for a work mems compensation act which the as- sociation will favor. The bill is op- dona1 and not ompulsory, but the exercise of the option is required to be in favor of the old liability method. From this it is proposed to take the defenses of fellow servant, and con trfbustory negligence. The bill pro- vfdes a scale of compensation for various injuries the scale following g closely that in the Federal compensa- tion law. The bill contains provision for insuring the payment of the in demnfties, so that they will not de- pend upon the so1vency of the en- ployer. He must insure in a company acceptable to the insurance conmis- sfoners of the state, or must furnish indemnity. Provisions are made for the incorporation under a general law of mutual associations of employers and supervision by the state of these associations is conferred, together with powers to enforce the use of safety appliances.

REUNITE
 ROBBER TO WIFE
Case Against Alleged Kid napper of His Own Son
 Is Nolled

One of the most important changes which has recently been posted in po- lice duty. shook up the department today when a new schedule previous 1y announcedo-to ehee due on Monday was put upon the bulletin board short ly after noon today. It has caused 8 fernent of excitement among the men, as it is seen to affect almost formerly doing day duty, suddenly be- ing placed on night. and general shift from one precinct to another be- immune from the general shift are traffic officers and those having fixed posts of duty, such as bank officers, depot men and detectives.
 It is believed that the number of petty burglarfes and fights of the past month is greatly responsible for many of the changes among a few of the most notable of which are cited the return of Patrolmen Barton and Bag ley to night duty in the Water street district, which they so effectively cleaned up some time ago. J. Burnes and James ONeil taking the center beat on Water street at night.
 While the traffic men remain sub stantially as heretofore s. H. McCul- tough will be seen on relief duty at the corner of Fairfield and Main, re- placing Dan Reilly, who goes to the Third Precinct.
 In the court, Christopher F'innegan remains, though Charles Beamer has been transferred to Columbus Place and Barney Glennon is appointed to court duty.

DEADLY RAvAGES
 OF HEROlN ARE
 BROUGHT TO LIGHT P h arr m acy Commissioner Gives Startling Informa-
 tion to City Fathers Says He Knows of One Tn stance Where 16 Shop Girls of Tender Years Are Enslaved to Drug.
Says He Knows of One Tn

J. A. Leverty, secretary of the state pharmacy commission and 9. member of the legislative board of the Con necticut Pharmaceutical association tore aside the veil of secrecy shroud- ing the deadly heroin habit in this speaker at a hearing last evening be- fore the Ordinance Committee of the Comm on Council on an ordinance pro posed to restrict or prohibit the sale of heroin in this city.
 Mir. Leverty said in his pinion no one would be seriously hurt if the sale of heroin was altogether prohibited.
 MT. Leverty stated that he believed there were at least 300 people in Bridgeport enslaved to the heroin habit, and that he had learned of one factories 16 girls, ranging from l. to 17 years. were addicted to the use of heroin.
 It has the same effect, he explain en internally while heroin is snuffed, acting almost instantly upon the mu- cous membrance of the nose.
 MT. Leverty said in his mind the only question that should confront the committee is that of suitable pen a1ty.
 Aldercan Garlick communicated a telephone message from Coroner Phe1an urging a jail sentence in the proposed ordinance.
 MT. Leverty said he believed that since the action of the pharmacy com mission in revoking a license of pharmacist on the ground that in dis pensins the drug the license had been abused. there had been an improve ment in conditions locally. In this particular case, he said, the victim was lad of 20 whose father had been obliged to place him in a sana- torium to repair his shattered health, and that as a result of giving up the drug the boy had increased from 123 to 160 pounds within a short period.

TRIED TO BREAK
 INTO GAYNOR HOME
But Brave Black Rock Resi- dents Arrive With ArSen- al, Scare Burglars and Save Pekinese Dog.

Like a scene from s'A1ias Jimmy VaIentine'' the thrilling burglar drama the neighbors in Black Rock last night came to capture the gun men who tried to break into Joseph F. Gaynor' s country estate at 1929 Fairfield ave- nue. The only thing they caught was a cold.
 MT. and Mrs. Gaynor had went out last evening, leaving the establishment and all the Christmas presents in charge of a servant Late in the ev- ening the girl heard suspicious sounds and peering from the window saw two
 She telephoned to the neighbors for aid and word was sent to police head quarters. Soon the neighborhood was aroused and the charge of the light brigade started. Sven Murberg, the genial grocer, sprinted to the scene brandishing a club made from a piano leg. Henry Fox had couple of Colts knuckIes and some knockout drops E. A. Hawthorne had an elephant gun such as they used in the African jungles and also carried piece of lead pipe. Edwin G. Gaynor arrived late carrying a grouch.
 When the gallant rescue band reach ed the house, the servant pofed her head out of the window and being as- sured that she was among friends, around but could find no burglars There were evidences that some per- sons had been prowling around, how ever.
 When interviewed today MT. Gaynor said perhaps the burglars were trying to steal his Pekinese dog which was recently imported at great expense. "I suppose they were Pekin in the win dow to see the anima1,'' remarked MT. Gaynor in his happy vein. Just for that the popular young manufactures will be sentenced to smoke one of those Christmas present cigars.

REMONSTRANCE AGAINST
 TOM CARR NEXT FRIDAY
County Commissioners Will Give Trinity Church Rep resentatives Chance to Voice Objections to Well Known Cafe.

The hearing on the remonstrance against Thomas Carr's application for a liquor license renewal will be heard next Friday by the county comrr1fs- sioners. The principal rernonstrauts against Carr are the rector and war 'dens of Trinity Episcopal Church, which adjoins Carrs cafe at Broad and Cannon streets. The saloon has been located there for many years and the testimony at the hearing will probably be interesting.
 The commissioners have also assign ed dates for the following hearings: Caspar Kuhn, Stratfie1d district, next Tuesday; Louis Balird, 465 Bostwick Padden, 2S5 Grand street. January z.

REVENUE CUTTERS
 UNABLE TO FIND
 BURNING SCHOONER

Newport, R. T., Dec. 2S.-Despite an all night search, the revenue cut ters Acushnet and Seneca. were unable to locate the burning schooner which was reported off Block Island about midnight. Wireless reports said men had been seen tos leave the b1azing g ship in small boats. Not a trace of any kind was discovered to substan- tiate the story. The cutters returned to port here, today, and made this re- port and went out again. It is feared that if the schooner's crew did put off in small boats they never could have survived the terrific gale and fu- rious seas which played havoc with shipping last night and early today.

HAYWOOD ON VERDICT.

Denver, Dec. 28.-'While I have not investigated the charges thoroughly, from what know of the cases think the Indianapolis dynamiting verdict was unwarranted. It convinces me that there is one law for capitalists and another law for laboring men, said William D. Haywood, leader of the I. w. w.. today, when advised of the Indianapolis verdict.
 gro say the least, it is a very un- usual verdict he continued. f.Such prosecutions against railroads and corporations have never succeeded and I did not think this one would either. There was no prosecution of the New York Central for it's explo- sion in New York City. During the Chicago gam mblers war too there were explosions that were never investi- gated.''

WORKLESS MAN FREEZES FEET
 SEEKING JOB

Out of work, trudging the streets in the vain hope of securing something to do, Thomas Frederick, who gave his residence at 52 Union Square, applied for treatment for frost-bitten feet. When examined by Dr. J. w. Parker, the mans condition was seen to be serious, as his feet had been badly frozen and infamed. While it was believed that aInputation would event. ually result unless properly attended, the subject refused hospital treatment and as the statutes do not permit for cible incarceration in a hospital, his demands for release had to be com piled with, but not until Clerk of the Police Aubrey Smith had given him a pair of arctics to relieve his neces- sity. Frederick is expected to return as he was hardly able to walk when he left last night.
