DROPS $1eO,ooo SUIT
 AGAINST CLIFFORD HENDRIN

Clifford R. Hendrix, a wealthy stock broker of Larchmont, New York, wao when 2 boy used to visit relatives hers at East Great Plain, had figured thIs week in q $100,o00 breach of promise suit brought by Mrs. Maud L. Ceballos of Brooklyn, N. Y, known on the stage as Mona Desmond. The suit came to day.
 When Justice McAvoy's part of the supreme court in Manhattan opened James M. Fisk, attorney for Mrs: G. ballos, told the judge that, at the ex- press wish of his client, he wanted to have the complaint dismissed and the case dropped. No reason was given for this action and no explanation was made. Justice McAvoy granted the ap- plication, the jury was dismissed, and the case, after a trial of two days. came at an abrupt stop.
 Hendrix joyfully telephoned his young wife, at Larchnont the good news, and said he would not claim the S150 trial costs to which he is entitled. Before that the testimony had gone l somewhat against the plaintiff. Love postal cards purporting to na-- rate a 'cavemAn's courtship'' were read in court before Justice McAvoy at the beginning of the testimony today. The postal cards read as follows: My heart is all gone on account of your beatings, but I love you just the same.-Mona."
 q love you in spite of the black eye you gave. me. Your little actress-wlfe to-be-Mona.''
 T will never, never give you up | Your little-actress-wife-to- ] The missives were introduced into tho court record by H. J. Lynch, counse for Hendrix, who afterward subjected Mrs. Ceballos to a relentless cross-ex
 animation about her past life.

WELFARE MEASURES

The passage of the act providing for the department of public welfare, pro viding protection and supervision to al dependent, neglected and uncared fo- children Of Connecticut; the education ai biil which makes possible the educa- tion Of children below par mentally and physically; and the bill providing for health instruction and physical educa- tion in public schools, are reasons given by Miss Marjorie Cheney, state com missioner of child welfare. for her sup port of the republican party.
 That the possibilities of the bureau of child welfare have not yet been fully realized and because of the fact that the republican party has accomplished so much along this line, it should have the support of the women of the statv, is the opinion of Miss Cheney
 ''The passage of the act providing for the department of public welfare" said Miss Cheney in an interview given out Thursday, which brought under state protection and supervision all depend ent, neglected and uncared for chil dren of Connecticut, put Connecticut in line with the most modern methods of welfare work. It has had an important influence. on. the commitments to the county homes. The fact that agents of | the board of child welfare have to te notified and through investigation has to be made before commitment has Tn many cases resulted in a disposition of | the case more advantageous to the chiId 1 and the tax payer"
 The possibilities of the bureau Of child welfare have not yet been fully realized but it offers an opportunity 1i | immensely helpful service and the ju venile court act takes Connecticut oJl ] of the medieval position of having q merely permissive statute and ha' made it mandatory for nine-tenths u the towns of the state to care for juve

 solutely forbidden and the machinery
 for developing the best type of proSa tion service has been set up, except tha s should be the minimum fee for pro
 bation officers.
 Another. bill of great importance t'
