"No, haven't seen it. But you must let me help you hunt for 1t. Pm afraid you won't get much help from the rest of the people here. Have you nO- tified the hotel officials"
 "Yes, but they can't find it. I-1 must have it back" Her eyes filled with tears. Ronald sprang into ac- tiOn energetically.
 "Now, you go to your room and I'll find that bag If it's to be found anywhere within two miles of here," he said. Don't worry about it-just 20 ahead and leave 1t all to me-"
 The masterfulness of his manner carried her with it.
 .''Thank you so much !" she breathed. I'm tired-Pve been looking all over the hotel for that bag, and I'm afraid it's gone. People haven't helped me a bit-that is, until you came along. But I'm afraid it's an awful trouble for you"
 'NOt in the least" declared Ron- aid, wondering why the entire force of the hotel as we'll as all the guests hadn't sprung to alleviate the distress of this charming person. ''I'lI find it and when I do. to whom shall return it?"
 My names Marjorie Warren" said his new acquaintance. "Tm living with my mother in room 413. And now tell me whom I have to thank for being so kind"
 "Im Ronald YOung-but you'd bet

 She laughed tiny, delicious laugh. "Very well, then, I'll wait. But-I hate to be kept waiting Iong" A flashing smile and she was gone.

Then he rose and did couple of fancy clog steps, to the great admiration of the surrounding children, humming to himself the while; after which he left the room, his face wreathed in smiles. This Is not what might be naturally looked for from a young man con- fronted with a problem.
 In fact, Ronald Young seemed rath- CT like young man who had solved some tangle than one who had one to solve. His actions on leaving the room were equally mystifying. He be- took himself to the bosky dells that were to be found near the hotel, and abode there until nearly dinner time, smoking cigarettes and apparently ad- miring the beauties of nature.
 That evening he went to the pi- aga in search of Marjorie He found her discOnsolate little figure seated in a deep wicker chair. Her mother, apparently, was nowhere to be seen.

PRESIDENT HAS SPECIAL FLAG
One sOf the Honors Bestowed by the Nation Upon Man Who 10 Its
 Chief Executive.

One of the honors bestowed upon the President of the United States is special flag. This flag Is not seen frequently. It does not float over the White House. Its use is reserved for the most part for occasions when the President appears in his ex-ofiicio function as commander in chief of the army and navy.
 The Presidents flag consists of the coat-of-arms as they appear on the Presidents seal, against blue back ground and hanked by four stars. Its history and use are described in the monograph on "Flags of the World" of the National Geographic society as follows:
 "When the President visits yes sel of the United States, the Presi- dents flag Is broken at the main the moment he reaches the deck and Is kept flying as long as he is on board. If the vessel can do so, national salute of 21 guns Is fired as soon as possible after his arrival on board. !
 "Upon departure another salute of 21 guns is fired, the Presidents flag lowered with the last gun of the sa- lute."

 UP HIS ATTACKS

At a rally in the Sixth district Re publican club held last night, Mayor Wilson continued his virulent attack on the manufacturers of the city, say ing that they were trying to put him out of office for their own selfish in terests Many other speakers ad- dressed the votetrs, among them ex- Senator Dillon, who praised the may or highly.
 "If Wilson Is reelected mayor of this city for two years" said Dillon, state" He continued to say that the mayor would have been the chief ex- ecutive of Connecticut two years ago if his friends had not thrown him down in the last minute. but that he was still as popular throughout the state as he ever had been and that if he went up to Hartford he would look out for the interests of this city which has heretofore been neglected by the upstate politicians

BIRTH CONTROL CONFERENCE
 TO DISCUSS MANY PROBLEMS

cal science that where there are only a few children in a family their health is better and they can be given better attention by the mother than where there are many. The high death rate among infants of less than a. year ago has been due, in the past, to the fact that the mother has brought too many children into the world and cannot give them the in itial supply of health necessary to win out in the battle of life. She has lowered her own vitality and in initial supply of health, she cannot give the attention required.
 ''We think the world will be better off having fewer children, to whom proper attention can be given. In the end the result is the same. To have four or five children born in a fam fly and have them all reach maturity, with the mothers health unimpaired, it better than to have dozen chil- dren and have only four or five of them reach maturity, at the cost of the mothers life. We think there should only be as many children in the family as can be properly taken care of in a mental, moral and phy- sical way. We want to build the health and minds of our citizens and make the world a better place in which to live.'
 The officials of the first American Birth Control Conference are as fol- lows: Margaret Sanger, chairman; Juliet Barret Ruble. vice chairman. Anne Kennedy. executive secretary; Clara Louise Rowe, extension secre- tary; Frances B. Alderman, treasur- CT; Mrs. Donald R. Hooker. chairman of sessions; Harriet E. DiIla, chair man of exhibits; Sara E. Nieman, chairman of hospitality.

NO PRISONERS "SIT" IN JAIL IN

Moscow, Nov. Folk "sit'' in jail in Russia Even Americans don't ''lie' in jail. That is not done this far East.
 All the Americans who have emerged from Russian jai1s in accord ance with the Hoover agreement say: When I was sitting in Butyrka," or ."Yes, I know Ivan Ivanovich. l sat with him for two months last year." [. Estes and Flick and Fitzpatrick and all the rest of the Americans who fell abeam the Soviet authorities sprink1ed their conversation with Russian terms which are conventional in Sovtetland, but will sound very strange to their friends in the United States
 English-speaktng persons in Rus sia never think of calling the food ra- ton by its English name. It is al- ways "pyok." Fish is never fish but ''rfba-" And the foreigners who were unfortunte enough to get into Bolshe- vist prisons will orobabaly never eat "riba" again if they can avoid 1t, for the dried and smoked fish served to them in thin soup isn't pleasant memory.
 When the Norwegians made a gift of smoked herrings to the Russian famine-sufferers, an American who has been in Russia ever since the Car was overturned remarked: The NorwegIans are so blooming tired of eating wooden fish that they are prob ably glad to hand 1t over to the poor Russians.

FORDS RUN 34 MILES ON
 GALLON GASOLINE
Start Easy in ColdeSt Weather Other Cars Show Proportionate
 Saving.

A new carburetor which cuts down gasoline consumption of any motor and reduces gasoline bills from one third to one-half ~ is the proud achievement of the Air-Friction Car buretor Co.,, 270 Madison St., Dayton. Ohio. This remarkable invention not only increases the power of motors from 30 to 50 per cent, but enables every one to run slow on high gear. It also makes it easy to start Ford or any other car in the coldeSt wealth CT. You can use the very cheapest grade of gasoline or half gasoline and half kerosene and still get moro power and more mileage than you now get from the highest test gaso- line. All Ford owners can get as high as 34 miles to a gallon of gaso- line. So sure are the manufacturers of the immense saving their new car buretor will make that they offer to send 1t on 30 days trial to every car owner. As 1t can be put on or taken off in a few minutes by anyone all readers of this paper who want to try it should send their name, address and make of car to the manufactur- CTS at once. They also want local agents, to whom they offer excep- tionally large profits. Write them today.-Adv.
