MASTER PAINTERS AND DECORATORS
 VIEW EXHIBITS

The morning session of Master Painters and Decorators convention in the ball room of the Stratfield was taken up with the admission of new members and discussion of trade problems.
 The many delegates were very much interested in the paint spray ing machines which were exhibited by several manufacturers.
 These machines have been used for some time in paintins automobile bodies and other articles made in quantities but the manufa cturers have now perfected the machine so that it is much preferable to the old time brush for painting the outside and interior of buildings.
 The spraying machine is worked by either gasoline or electricity and is said to give a smoother coat than the former method
 This afternoon there will be an election of officers for the coming year and the convention will close with a banquet tonight At last nights ses- sion Lieut.. c. B. Lyons gave an in- teresting talk entitled Sprays of Vic tory and Sprays of Industry" which was illustrated by pictures of the spraying machine.

MULE REFUSED TO DRAW LOAD
 OF MILK CANS
Owner Says Animal Not As Represented Starts
 Suit.

That a mule just reclined on his shoulder blades and refused to draw a load of milk cans, was the claim of Edward Walsh of this city, who appeared in the civil side of the City court today to testify in his suit against Rickby shannon and Ike Lechups of this city, who sold him the mule. Walsh asked for $500 dam ages and the case went into the hands of a jury this afternoon.
 It is alleged that Walsh gave $30S and a black horse for two mules after the defendants represented that the mules would draw a load of 50 milk cans. Instead of pulling the milk cans merrily along the highway Walsh declared one mule picked out a soft spot in the road and settled down for a rest, letting the customers wait for their milk. Shannon and Lechups say Walsh had the mules inspected by a friend and was satisfied with their hauling ability.

 the application of principles most ab- horrent to the American people. We see the destruction of individual rights, and we see property estaGo- lished and encouraged under the law, amounting in value to hundreds of millions of dollars, wantonly de- stroyed.
 "ThA present short period of pro- hibitlon has been a blessing in dis guise. It has aroused the American people to the necessity of being keen ly on their guard to preserve their liberties. It has opened their eyes to the unscrupulous tactics, the false hoods and hypocricies of a certain irresponsible element which had al- most escaped public condemnation Because of a constant pretense of morality and righteousness.
 ''The so-called 18th amendment will be obeyed faithfully by us as long as it is accounted a part of the constitution of the United States. Its misbegotten offspring, the Vo1stead act, will also be obeyed as long as it continues to dEfgure the statute books. This legislative monstrosity reveals in its pages the solemn lie and admitted to be a lie-which at tended the birth of the amendment.
 Tt is part of the prohibition propa- ganda today to pretend that the American people. through their own action, have brought about the exist ing situation Never there was a greater falsehood. The American people never have acted upon national prohibition They have never been permitted to do so. Only one state Ohio-voted on this tremendous issue, and there the verdict was against it.''
