TILT OVER SALARY RAISE
 FOR STREET DEPT. HEAD
Councilman Crusberg Objects to h. creasing Scheidel's Pay-Crowe
 Defends His Lieutenant.

When recommendation for week ly salary increases of $2 each for Street Superintendent Joseph Schei- del, Craftsman Sheffield Clark and Chairman James Conley came before the salary committee at its meeting last night, Councilman Arthur G Crusberg objected to the increase for Scheidel, informing the committee that he had heard numerous com plaints that lead him to believe that Scheidel is not qualified for the job.
 The councilman said the complaints had come to him through the usual channels and he felt that they should be the property of the salary commit tee when proposal to increase Scheidel's pay was being considered. The reports had to do with men loaf ing on the job and holding up work for want of tools that, the complain ants felt, should have been in stock.
 Chairman T. w. Grove of the board of public works defended Scheidel, saying that he was competent em- ploye and should not be held respon- sible for the inefficiency of others.
 It was voted to recommend to the common council that the increases be made effective, the action being in all cases excepting that of Scheidel, where Crusbcrg voted in opposition.

AWAITING LEVIATHAN
Expected Arrival of Giant American Liner ct Southampton is Causing Unusual Interest.
By The Associated Press,

By The Associated Press,
 London, July 10.--The expected ar rival of the Leviathan at Southamp- ton late today is attracting interest far beyond shipping circles.
 The great liners pre-war antece- dents, her disputed claim to the worlds record tonnage and her car go of reputed millionaires have been widely discussed in the newspapers, while the reported impending arrest of large portion of her crew for de- sertion, has also augmented public curiosity,
 Evidently referring to the Levia- than's tonnage, Harold Sanderson, chairman of the White Star line, in public speech yesterday said there was a certain ship which claimed to be able to blow herself out as with a bicycle pump and then laid claim to being the largest vessel afoat. He added that the dock authorities would not object to the tonnage but would make the owners pay for the hot air
 The arrival of the Aquitana with out mails, which the American pos- tai authorities are said to have held for the Leviathan, believing that the latter would arrive first. leads the Daily Mail to point out that a de- lay of 24 hours has been caused by this arrangement.

JR. ACHIEVEMENT
 GROWING RAPIDLY
26 Clubs and 250 New Members
 Added in Less Than Month

Twenty-six new Junior Achievement clubs have been organized in New Britain since the 18th of June with an initial membership of 25O. Most of these clubs will hold their meetings on the playgrounds during the sum- mer months and as the projects will become more difficult and interesting as the. summer goes on the probabili- ties are that the clubs will increase materially in membership.
 Great stress is being put on the element of originality in the work of these clubs and great expectations are entertained concerning the results. A number of extraordinary kites already have been completed. Miss May Beg ley and Miss Ruth Bassett, who ably carried out the Junior Achievement program last year, are spending one day each week on each of the play grounds, instructing the leaders and m embers of the clubs so that the pro- jects are planned to last five days and are centered around the child's inter est in the home.
 Samples of prizes for contest work
New Britain herald., 1923-07-10

between the playgrounds have been
 received. They consist of ribbons
 caps. buttons. badges, pennants and watch fobs. The clubs may enter a contest for free trip to the Eastern States exposition at Springfield.
 The names of the clubs are study in ideals. For example, some of the girls have selected the following club names Star Bright, Tip-Top, Moth ers Helpers. White Star, Wide Awake, Jolly Workers, Happy Workers. Busy Bees and, Ever Ready, while the boys are more brief using one word as: Spark, Eagle, Comet, Beaver and Workwell
 A club has been started with the difficult but useful project of seat weaving, with cane used as the mater ial, under the leadership of George H. Carter of 14S Washington street. Many of the leaders have unusual ex- periences with their clubs. One lead CT reported that at recent election in his club, when the newly elected secretary was informed that his duti included the keeping of the minutes of the meeting; he asked what time the meeting opened and what time it adjourned and evidently thinking he was time keeper, wanted to know how many minutes the club had been in session.

fabrication of Chassis Is Too
Often Neglected.

The modern motorist by this time
has become, as rule, well educated
in the care of his car, save in the
single respect of attending to the lu-
brication of the chassis. The average
motorist has learned, perhaps, by the
experience of paying $40 or $50 for n
new battery, that 1t pays to attend
regularly to Its filling and testing
He has learned, perhaps, through
paying for new bearings for his motor
that 1t pays to keep plenty Of oil In
his crank case.
But It Is the average motorlst who
does not realize the Importance Of
chassis fabrication, because he never
has realized sharply just what his neg
lect in this respect costs him.
He Is more apt, very humanity, to
blame 1t upon the maker of the car.
and tells his friends that his car has
not stood up" the way it should. II
there were some way OF making the
motorlst realize that 1t is nothing
more or less than his own neglect of

cause OF most of his troubles 1t would
