the nations of Europe in an effort to bring about the rehabilitation of the world.
 MT. Bryan wrote the President it was a national calamity" that the United States did not enter the League of Nations, the responsibility equally with the Republicans and Democrats"
 But the mistake of the past" he adds, should not prevent wiser ac- ton in the present and future"
 He quotes from the speech of Lloyd George at Genoa, fin which the British prime minister deplored the absence of the United States at the conference.
 MT. President, your sense of re- sponS1bility to God must soon compel you to propose an appeal to the en- tranged nations to forget the past and begin the work of friendly co-opera- ton in the upbuilding of Europe. You made splendid beginning in calling the arms conference, but what will its work avail if Europe is to become again slaughter house?
 ou are O man of prayer, MT President-you are the first President to include the Lords Prayer in a pub He address: I beg you to ask for guidance in this world crisis. "Who knoweth whether thou art not come to the kingdom for such time as this?'
 With assurances of respect, I am, my dear President.
 Yours very truly,

plainly on the wall. F'eDruary Z4, 1908, MT. Kable started the room and ended December s, 1909. On the ceiling huge star has been worked 1 by the clever stamps artist and at the head of his bed MT. Kaole erected a large cross of stamps with the words there are two of the precious Queen Victoria stamps along with several King Edward stamps. They are side by side, mother and son.
 Some of the stamps date back to time when no cancelling machines had been invented and all stamps had to be cancelled by hand. One maPR n5amp Insead has of fhe name S5a8R of the cancelIing station there are three dice. MT. KabIe does not know whether it came from the wild and woolly west or not, but It looks very gambling town. The west side of the bedroom is finished with special de- livery stamps and to finish it MT. ka- ble was obliged to purchase 115 at ten cents each.
 A Major Wilkenson, a famous Wall street detective, who caught many noted criminals in his day, some fifty years ago. gave the stamp collector stamps dating back to 1881.
 Obtained From Banks.
 A great many of the thousands of stamps were obtained from various banks and most of them were at 
 ing bS fore they could be ready for use. One of the most unique stamps in the wall paper collection is beer stamp dating back aimst three fourths of a century. It took three days to soak off this stamp from keg upon which it was labeled.
 The stamp artist does not think he will stamp any of the other rooms of his home because he believes that he would never have the patience. Af- ter gazing about the room for mo- ment, monarch of all he surveyed, he said, Its a great wonder that I did not get the 'willies while I was do- ing his job.
 But the three stamped rooms in his cozy little home was not the only curiosity. Down in his cellar he has a ball of tin foil that weighs 1030 pounds and so perfect a sphere is it that there is not a half inch differ ence in it's circumference. The great ball. the result of many years pa foil, sets in plank rounded out by the constant rolling of the sphere up and down the plank.
 Ball Looks Light.
 The ball looks light. but looks are deceiving. An attempt was made to lift it but it failed. A plank more than three inches in thickness was brok en over it and landed in a hun dred pieces on the floor of the eel lar.
 Some day, MT. Kable thinks he will benefit of charity. If he ever does he is assured of a successful exhibition for the waIf stamped rooms are a sight to feast the eyes upon; a won derful achievement of a patient man; a work of art.

Roth Denies He
 Sought Reduction

Julius R. Roth, secretary of the Fairfield division. Master Bakers As sociation, declared today that a great deal of hard feeling and dlsturpan Q has been caused among the ranks of the members of the association be- cause of a series of articles appear i~i in local newspapers, relative to
 k proposed reduction of ten per ctsft in the wages of the bakers.
 NIT. Roth stated today. "I am at a loss to know where the source of this information came from. It did not emanate from me, and the report that I went to the convention to work Tor this reduction is entirely untrue exceedingly regret that the false re- ports so disturbed the members Of tho association. and aroused the ire or the bakers union members, for in the past at all times, I have had successful and pleasant relations with them.

Gus KabIe Well Known.
 The man who assembled 228, 216 individual stamps of various denOmi- nations on three rooms of his home is Gus Kable of Oak street, well known in Bridgeport especially among the older resident of the city If you can stretch your imagination, just picture 22S,216 stamps, all the size of a two cent postage stamp, arranged to form crosses, various Roman fig ures, American flags and shields on the walls of your home. It seems al- most beyond the imagination. yet in MT. Rabies home it is a reality.
 The sight greeting ones eyes in the front room of his home is almost be- nothing unusual is noticed except the green and red coloring of the room. It takes but very few seconds to recognize the fact that the room is papered with postage stamps ar ranged in perfect color scheme and deceiving to the eye.
 On the ceiling there are two per fectly formed American flags, with formed of one cent stamps, seven cannon balls of green one cent stamDs, perfectly formed, and a large American flag shield formed of red two cent stamps and blue five cent stamps. The shield is complete in design and arrangement.
 Various other colored stamps fill in, while the side walls are bordered with stars within stars, all designed of stamps. By actual count there are 130,00O stamps in the front room as sembled in period of less than two years and each one put on by hand.
 Has Great Patience.
 Blessed with the patience of Job, MT Kable during his spare time, after work, pasted each stamp in it's place on the wall. They were not put on in a tumble, but squared out perfect ly with a definite aim in view. He did try to paste a dozen or more on paste them on the wall but this meth od failed.
 To get the stamps on the ceiling MT. Kable was forced to build special staging which allowed him to lie down at his work. He rigged up an electric light so that the rays would strike directly on the ceiling. nights and during the wee small hours of the morning when he did not feel like sleeping he would be up on the stage working. To preserve the col bring of the stamps MT. Kab1e white shellaced the walls. Any time he wishes he may wash the walls of the rooms with clear water, making them clean ana bright.
 In the small hallway opening into stamps of all nations, all denomina- tions and all ages. The background of the hall is red and two cent envelope stamps make up the ceiling.
 In MT. Kable's bed room there are 70, GOO stamps of all nations. He started this room first and had no definite plan worked out for it's de- velopmept. In stamps, the date of starting to stamps the roow. shows

The Transient Room

What do you use this room for?" asked a visitor at the Catholic Community House.
 ''Oh! This is our Transient Room We use it for over night shelter"
 Where do you get the peo- pie to fill it2"
 We don't go out looking for people. but the Travellers Aid and the Police frequently send over a girl or a woman that finds herself stranded. Our case work, too, brings us a good many transients. The family visitors sometimes have a domestic difficulties problem and find it necessary to shelter the wife-perhaps with one or more children-until such time as the husband is placated and a reconciliation possible. Sometimes we have a runaway girl whom we shell ter until she can be returned to her home. Our work with children also involves many problems of shelter. Frequent ly we have a child that is needed as a witness in court, or a juvenile offender who ICSNS ShClISI lndn QS- tention. Last night we had three little boys in the Tran Sient Room. One came from St. Johns School and is being returned to his parents An other was removed from his father by court action yester- day and is to be taken to St. Francis Home today The third one was brought yester- day, from a boarding house in the country and is to be placed in an excellent foster home for adoption. We have another smaller room on the floor be- low which we can use in an emergency. This overnight shelter, as you see. helps us to solve many a problem" This is just another reason why we all will give cheerfully to Com munity Chest.
