 Another Week

With a continuance Of one week granted by Judge John B. Keeber of Superior court in the. quo warranto proceedings pending against Town Manager R. H.

2.0OO Liens Will
 Be Filed Today

Approximately 1000 tax Hens will be filed in the office of the town clerk by Tax Collector Drew, at 4 D. m The liens will be placed against property on which 1920 taxes are due. This is the first step toward collecting the unpaid bills. It was estimated
 A charge of 75 cents will be made for each lien, and in cases where number of pieces of property are in- yolved, the total cost of the pro- cedure will be considerable The various amounts due on unpaid bills range from a few dollars to thousands of dollars, one bill alone amounting to more than $14,000.
 The usual last minute scurry to pay the 1920 tax bills took place yester- day, when $2i5, 900 was paid in at the tax collectors office. Collections during the month of March will probably aggregate more than S10O,- 900, the figure recently estimated by MT. Drew.

Cenuario' s Case
 Will Be Tried Again Next Week

Assigned as the third case Tues day in Superior court, it is probable that the case of the Grievance Com mittee of the Fairfield County Bar association against Attorney Salva- tore P. Genuario will be tried at the earliest possible moment. States Attorney Homer s. Cummings. who will personally direct the case against the Norwalk lawyer, is ready, and anxious to proceed.
 Genuario. formerly the holder of an official legal position in Norwa1k, was once before in the bad graces of the committee, due to alleged mal- practice, and it is understood that the case against him is strong.

Unemployment. hard times. and the economic hardships are great causes of suicide. In this present year the figures of self destruction will mount to unusually high figures. If men committed no eNcesses; if they had a solid economic basis for the support of the family; if there cesses and no love disappointments the suicide rate might diminish, al- most to nothing.

This is a world of law. It con- tains nothing founded upon luck. What seems to be luck is merely that the mind of the observer does not see the facts which would en- able him to understand the operation of the law. A persons crosses a railroad track at a given instant and is killed by the locomotive. This is not a product of chance, but a pro- duct of unwavering laws. The won der would be if the person should be crushed by the locomotive and not in- jured.

Men have died and worms have eaten them, but not for love- Is a saying that is scientifically untrue. Disappointed love is a Common cause of suicide. Many a mother has pre- ferred to take her children into the unknown and has preferred to go with, and many a man has preferred an earthly extinction to the loss of wife or sweetheart.

There are laws governing the inn pact of death and disease Suicide, or self inflicted death. is obedient to laws, which are little understood, but which exist. It cannot be said with Certainty that any particular per son who passes upon the street will die during the year. It can be said within narrow limits, that of every thousand, so many will die before 365 days are gone. It may be pre- dicted how many will perish of each of a number of maladies.

The instinct of self preservation doubtless has a habitation in the brain. We may be described as ma chimes, wound up to live. But when that part of the machine which con tains the desire to live is weakened or injured, the desire not to live may take its place. Grief, hunger, anxiety, disease. disappointed. love. excess in alcohol or narcotics are con tributing causes.

Morbid thoughts must be guaIde

Morbid thoughts must be guarded against. Worry put aside. The mind must take the hopeful view. There is merit in that somber jest. '"The worst is yet to come,'' for it makes the present easier. It is bet ter to reflect upon evils past, in the time seemed great. but which, in re- trospect, are not so bad. A cheer ful mind is the surest preventive of this disease of suicide; for a disease 1t is.

Government Reports Place The Amount Of Coal On Hand At 63,OOO,OOO Tons An Amount As Great As That Accumulated At The End Of The War.

lBy the Associated Press)
 indianapolis, Ind, March 3l A .. complete tie-up of union fields in twenty states was predicted today by officials of the United Mine Workers of America at the Union head quarters and they also asserted that 100000 non-union workers would lay down their picks. President John L. Lewis said at least six hundred thousand men would join the walkout. his estimate including the non union participants. No final instructions to district leaders were planned to be issued to- day from union headquarters and officials declared any move to averting the suspen- slon was now impossible.
 Ready to Fight Says Lewis
 We are ready for d fight, forced on us by the operators declared MT. Lewis, I've have sought in every honorable way to get new contracts put the operators have persistently refused to deal with us. Then, too. the powerful non-union interests have tried in every possible way to persuade the union operators to fight the United Mine Workers in orler that the non- union interests may reap a financial harvest by operating during the strike"
 Twenty states will be affected by the shutdown, and the only union men expected to continue producing coal are five thousand workers in southwestern Kentucky, whose con tract with the operators does not ex-

 Twenty States Affected
 Pennsylvania will turn out the largest number <o of men. and other states to be affected are West Vir- gin1a, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Iowa, Missouri, Kansas Oklahoma. Arkanf sas, Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, Ken lucky, Maryland, Michigan. Montana. Wyoming, Colorado, and Washington Western Canada, also is expected to join the suspension but not the Nova Scotia district
 Not only is Pennsylvania expected to send out the greatest forces of the union men. but also the union officials anticipate an exodus of the non-union mines in that state The anthracite districts, which half un- 1on1zed, are expected to be shut down completely, and in addition many bf- luminous miners from the Central parts of that state have been called on to join with the union men there West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama and Washington also are expected by the union officials to experience idle- ness at the non-union mines of those states, the most importart of these strikes being from the New River and Winding Gulf fields of West Vir- ginia.
 Great Stock On Hand
 The duration of the suspension in the union fields, as also the strike at the non-union mines, is matter of conjecture The shut down begins with warm weather approaching and with stocks on hand the largest at any time for the last several years Government reports placed tho stocks at 63.00o.000 tons, a quantity as large as that which has been ac-

KNITTED SUIT IDEAL FOR TRAVETJNc

That garments Of knitted fabric
are growing in favor cannot be
denied. One need not be a dyed
in-the-wool enthusiast Of knit
ted outerwear to feel confident
that when the resort season gets

of knitted outer garments will
carry off the palm.

which may or may not match her
hats. AS matter of fact a clever
milliner discovered that these
scarfs make attractive hats, the
stripings or other decorative bor-
der providing the trimming for
crown or brim.
The scarf sketched combines
stripes with a blocked border, and
does it without distributing ones
sense of design. 1t is worn with
two piece knitted silk suit. the
skirt black, excepting for it's
border, which is black and
white, this design being repeated
on the patch pockets. Pockets are
an almost unfailing note in knit
ted things, So possible in their
construction.
This suit showes a, nice re-
straint, by the way, in the matter
of decoration. 1t would have been
so easy to carry the border de-
sign on to the Tuxedo collar. or
to have made the belt more con-
spicuous detail. But the best
makers Of knitted outerwear real
ize that there is a perfection of
detail and of fit, which counts
quite as much for merit as for de-
coration.
One senses, of course, that the
belt is adjustable and the coat
may be bloused or not, one wish
es. There is preference for the
slightly bloused effects for many
women, particu. .arly those who
have left slenderness behind with
their youth; they find that by this
simple adjustment they obviate

the possibility of the coat fitting
too closely.
1t becomes more and more ap-
parent that knitted outer gar
ments are not going to be allowed
to remain the property of youth.
Why should they be? 1t is not
difficult for the older woman to
wear them; besides, they are ideal
for travelling, no matter what the
conveyance. The -crushable
qualities Of the knitted suit,
whether it be silk or wool, or a
fashionable blend of the two,
should endear it to the traveller.
