NEW BRITAIN IS CITY OF CROWDED
 TENEMENT HOUSES, GOVT. SAYS
But Few Cities in America Have Conditions More Cramped Than Here and in Hartford.

Washington, March 1.-The cen sus bureau today made public an in teresting compilation Of figures from the recent census enumeration show , ing the number of persons per build ing and the number of persons per family in the principal cities of the country.
 The statistics are particularly in terestine to Hartford and New Brit ain because they show only a few cities in the United States with a higher average of persons to each dwelling than in those two Connecti- cut cities, New Britain, with an average of 9,7 persons to each house Is surpassed only by some of the bor- oughs of New York, Newark, N. J., 10; Chelsea, Mass, 9.S; Holyoke, Mass, 10.6; Hoboken, N, J., 14.S; Passaic, N. J., 10, and is on equal terms with Yonkers, N. Y., and has the third highest average for number of persons per family in the country.
 Conditions Congcstcd
 Hartford, with an average of S.4 persons to a building is surpassed by the cities listed above and by Bos- ton, 9.4; Fall River, ST; Jersey City, 96 and Worcester, 93. Both Hart ford and New Britain are far more congested, if these figures can be talk en to prove it, than such larger cities as Chicago, with an average of s to a dwelling house; Baltimore. 5.4; Cleveland 6.S; Detroit, 6.5; Philadel- phia, 5.2; Pittsburgh, 6.3; Providence, 6.7; San Francisco, 5.6; and Wash ington, D. C., G.1.
 Average Is High
 The Hartford and New Britain average number of persons to a dwelling is higher than two of the boroughs of New York, Queens, with 73 and Richmond with GA. The high average in these cities is even more striking when it is compared with that in other Connecticut cities, which are given as follows in the re- port just issued:
 New Haven, 7.2; Bridgeport, 6.4; Meriden, 6.S; New London, 54; Nor walk, 5.4; Stanford 7.5; and Water bury, 7.9.
 It will be noted, however, that all the Connecticut cities rank with the most congested in the country.
 Hartford Figures
 The figures showing the number of persons per family are not as inter- esting, although here again Hartford is something of a surprise. Hartford with 4.6 persons to family is above the average but it is noteworthy that it is one of four cities over 1O0,O0o that have not shown a decrease since the last census in 1910. Referring to' this the bureau says in it's report
 Yearly all the cities having 100000 population or more show decrease in the average number of persons per family between 1910 and 1920. the only exceptions being Akron, in which an increase took place, and Toledo Hartford and Camden, in which the average remained unchanged.

LAWYER SCORES WOMAN
Prosecutor Brands Mrs. Obcnchain As SoullesS Woman Who Thinks Only Of Herself.

Los Angeles, March 14. = Argu- ments in the case of Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain on trial for the murder of her sweetheart, l. Belton Kennedy, were to be resumed with the open- ing of court today.
 Charles w. Tricke, deputy district attorney, opened for the state yester- day, dwelling upon the defendants re- Iations with Kennedy; Arthur c. Rurch, of Evanston, Ill.,, her code fendant and Ralph Obcnchain, Of Chicago, her former husband, and now a member of her counsel.
 He declared Mrs. Obenchain had used Obenchain as human door mat" that shc had mo regard, love, affection, respect or anything else for the love of any man." and that she had married Obenchain "only because she wanted someone to take care of her"
 Fricke argued in referring to the testimony given by Obenchair0 for his former wife that it was apparent he was hypnotized, blindfolded and in fatuated by his defendant" and that he "continued to do anything she said"
 Mir. Tricke will continue his argu ment today.

100 PER CENT. MAN
 WEARIES OF WIFE
Husbands Ear Turned to Motors While His Wifc'S is for
 Grand Opera.

San Francisco March 14-Mar- garet Matzenauer famous diva, ap- parently has lost her chauffeur hus- band, whom she termed 100 per cent man."
 The husband, Floyd Glotzbach, has come back to his job at the Del Monte hotel here, driving tourists about.
 A year ago he took Mme. MatAc- nauer out for a drive for hire. She sat on the front seat with him, bet ter to enjoy the scenery. Later came the engagement and marriage and Glotzbach left the driving wheel.
 The San Francisco Examiner today gives Glotzbach's reasons for leaving his bride in New York:
 ''Id rather be a chauffeur in Cali fornia than to dwell forever in the palaces of Rabyon,' he said. It would seem Glotzbach was forced 10 let another man drive his wifc's au- tomobile.
 Tt would drive any man crazy to sit back among the cushions and squirm every time he felt the back lash of the transmission when all it needed was real mechanlclan, the reporter quotes.
 Neither did Glotzbach enjoy break lasts in bed Nor did sitting up night after night through the mad scene of Lucia appeal to an ear attuned to the hum of a smooth running motor.
 The reporter says Glotzbach told him there had been no friction: that the chauffeur husband just "escaped' when his bride was not looking; that he will not go back.
 Madame Matzenauer, it is said, wants her husband back. There is talk of compromises from New York, but unlistened to. says Glotzbach.
 A six foot westerner, he comments:
 "Orchds will thrive in hot houses, but wild mustard needs the Cali fornia sun"

START MOVE FOR
 BETTER LANGUAGE
New Britain Men Have Ambition to Purify Indecent and Vulgar
 Talk.

Following the action taken by en- gineers and oilers at the Berlin pow CT house, of the Connecticut com pany, it is expected that the cXecu- tive committee Of the Evcryman's Bible class will launch city-wide movement to check the widespread use of objectionable language.
 Some time ago an official of the New Britain Gas company suggested that movement be started to have men and boys sign a pledge not to use indecent language on the street Shortly afterwards similar suggcs- tion was made at the Y. M. c. A., and was discussed with General Secretary c. H. Barnes, who favored the move ment
 short time later, some of the ex- tremely suggestive popular" Bongs came to the ears of Rev. John j.. Davis and resulted, fin q display of verbal pyrotechnics at the next res sion of the John l.. Davis Bible class at the Y. NJ. c. A. It was as a result of Rev. MT. Davis talk at this time that a number of local men started thinking of plans to purify the lan guage, with view to bettering the morals of the growing boy.
 About week ago an independent movement was started among the en- gineers and oilers at the Berlin pow CT house of the Connecticut company. A paper was circulated which was signed by about dozen men who agreed not to use any foul or fnde- cent language The men went further and pledged themselves to drop one cent into general contribution box everytime they used word which was not admitted to polite society.

The sound of pursuit soon died

on his trail.
He ;.uessed that Crooked Light

he had just told sthe council, ami
that he aid the prophet had already

4 Even as he rose the lad saw
creeping to the outer ring his enemy
Crooked Lightning, but he appeared
not TO see. The whites looked sur
prised when his boyish figure stood
straight. and they were amazed
when he addressed the traders in
French. the agents in English, n
smoke to the feathered chiefs IN
their own tongue. He cast the belt
forward.

NINE
Who had driven the Indian from
the great waters to the great wall?
The British. Who were the Ameri-
cans fighting now? British. why
we're the Americans fighting now?
Because the British, their kinsmen,
| VOID not give them the rights. liz
the Indians must fight, why hight
with the British to beat the Ameri-
cans. and then have to fight both a
later day? If the British would not
treat their own kinsmen fairly, was
it likely that they would treat the
Indian fairly? Would it not be bet
ter for the Indian to make the white
man on his own land a friend rather
than the white man who lived more
than a moon away across h big
seas?
He lifted his hand high and
paused.
Crooked Lightning had sprung to
his feet with a hoarse cry. With Il
gesture Pontiac bade Crooked Light
ming speak.
"The tongue of White Arrow is
forked. l have heard him say he
would fight with the Long Knives
against the British and he would
fight with them even against his
own tribe"
One grunt of rage a the round
of three circles and yet Pontiac
stopped Crooked Lightning and
turned to the lad. Slowly The boys
uplifted hand came down.
