Plaintiff Gets
 $7,OOO Verdict

After being out slightly more than an hour a jury in Superior court yes terday afternoon brought in a verdict of s7,oo0 for the plaintiff in the ac- tion brought by Mrs. Mary Bates, Harrison, N. Y. against Coulter D. Huyler of Greenwich. Mrs. Bates husband was killed Sept. 20, 1920, when a motorcycle sidecar in which he was riding was struck by an auto m obile owned by the defendant and operated by Redfeld L. Forrest.
 The accident happened at the corner of Round Hill and North Ridge Roads. Geenwich. Bates and his companion who drove the motor cycle, Samuel Coope. were on the way to work when without regard to rules of the road, and travelling at an excessive speed the Huyler car struck the motorcycle, the handle of which killed Bates. CoUpe was also se- vereIy injured.
 A verdict for the plaintiff in action arising from automobile accidents is a rarity, and the verdict in this case is the largest rendered for a long time. Mrs. Bates is the mother of six children, all of whom were in court during the trial.

Brussels Resumes Carefree Life;
 Becoming Monaco Of The North

Brussels, May 20.-Brussels is re- sunaing. little by little. its normal life of before the war
 Prices of all sorts of commodities are still higher than in 1914, but much lower than in Paris. The stores are filled with buyers and the small tradesmen, as well as the big indus trials, carry an air of serene confi- dence.
 At o'clock in the afternoon the luxurious cafes of the boulevard Ans bach and of the Place de Brouckere are filled with joyous crowds, smok- ing away amid the hum of conversa- tion and the music of countless or chestras. Brussels has become, as be- fore the war, the paradise of smok- CTS. Tobacco shops, strung at ire quent intervals along every prominent street, recall man to his p1easure-or his vice, as you wish it.

Cigars and beer-the two things without which the happiness of a na- tive of Brussels would not be com plete-are dearer than before the war, but still are sold at reasonable prices. For instance, the kind of cigarette that costs 50 cents in American mon ey in Paris may be had for from 25 to 28 cents in Brussels, and others sell at from 10 to 15 cents. A good Ha- vana cigar may be had here for , cents. And a glass of beer which costs at least cents in Paris may be had in Brussels for half that price, even in the best cafes.
 Gasoline costs 50 cents a gallon here, while in Paris one pays about so cents for exactly the same kind.
 Silk stockings, reinforced, sell for as low as S1-75 in Brussels. If Paris women all knew this they would fill the trains across the Belgian frontier
