It calls housekeepers to theii front doors time after time, 1t makes many people feel embarrassed, it au. tomatically draws the dimes from the ! pockets of pedestrians and makes the ! poor old blind man on the Main and Church streets corner think business has gone ''fooey" all of a sudden.
 Everywhere and on all sides en- have been soliciting dimes all day. arm bands on their coat sleeves con tain the words NO Alibis." and no alibis get by the youngsters.

 T only have nickel. you can have that" said another man." 'Nickels won't go in the box" was the reply, and another dime helped swell the fund.
 Please put in a dime for the drive" said bright-eyed Boy Scout to young woman hurrying along in front of a Main street store. The woman blushed, seemed to be at loss as to what to say, finally plucked up courage enough to stammer, "1 did," and hurried on.
 Say, do I have to drop in dime every time meet a kid with bank" demanded in mock anger, local salesman. There aint so many kids" was the significant reply, and another dime went in.
 When Mary E. Curtin, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. opened her office for business this morning she almost immediately started rush of youngsters coming in to have their banks opened, emptied and to start off for second supply.
 Miss Curtin also found that she was to be the target for number of tele- phone calls all day long. I've been called to my door 1 5 times this morn- ing" said woman shortly before noon.

 Say, I've dropped dimes in dozen banks this morning." said another man, to boy in the lobby of a local bank.
 Where does the money go?" quer- jed a Rip Van Wrinkle who has just emerged from his cave after hibernat- ing for the winter.

Already Four New England Leeis-
 latureS Have Taken It Up

Boston. April tBy the Associated Press) --The 4S-hour week for women and minors in industry set by Presi- dent Thomas r. McMahon of the United Textile Workers of America as one of the aims of campaign to be opened by that organization next week in all textile centers has been debated in four New England state legislatures, In Rhode Island the senate has been deadlocked for sew eral weeks with general business held up while the democratic minority has sought by filibuster to force vote on the 4S-hour bill Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont rejected bills aiming at the shorter working week for women and minors. Massachu- setts already has 4S-hour law.
 In New Hampshire as well as in Rhode Island where the struggle has not yet been concluded, advocates or the 4S-hour week fought an especial- ly stubborn campaign
 Tie Strike of 1922
 The great textile strike in southern
 
 New Hampshire centers in 1922 wAa declared in protest against a wage cut of 20 per cent and an extension of hours in the mills from 4S to 54 a week. The strike ended last fall when the mills restored the wage cr- but retained the 54-hour week. Seek ing to attain their end through the legislature the workers threw in their lot with the democrats. New Hamp- shire elected democratic governor and house but the republicans re- tained control of the senate.
 In the house 4S-hour bill wa, i offered by the democratic leaders ! The republicans countered with |, resolution to establish a fact finding The house killed the fact finding commission and passed he 4S-hour bill. The senate however defeated the 4S-hour bill and passed ! fact finding resolution of its own.
New Britain herald., 1923-04-07

This resolution when submitted 10 the house was postponed indefinitely.
 In the midst of tho textile strike of last year 4s-hour bill was introduced in the Rhode Island legislature. It was passed by the house but met de- feat in the senate. At tho 1928 ses- sion the bill was re-introduced and again passed the house. When 1t reached the senate 1t was referred to committee and the republicans con- trolling the upper body brought In . bill to create textile fact finding committee.
 The democratic senators despairing of direct vote On the 4s-hour bill which had been ono of their election campaign pledges started filibuster to force the republican majority to permit vote on the measure under suspension of the senate rules. The flibuster is still in progress.

London, April z. (By Asaa,
 Press)-Five sturdy mothers pushing perambulators, each freighted with a protesting baby, crossed Westminster bridge as Big Ben chimed 5:15 o'clock this morning in a 52 mile race to Brighton.
 The contest is the outgrowth of a controversy between the mothers of I the north and south of England as to which has the hardest and speediest baby carriage chauffeurs. The con testants were cheered by crowd around the parliament buildings as they got away at dawn on their long trek. They declared they expected to reach Brighton by Sunset.
 Officials of the society for the pre- vention of cruelty to children entered a protest against the proceedings as the mothers assembled in the chill of the morning air, declared the proceed ing harmful to the children and that if they suffered the mothers would be prosecuted.
 Three of the babies are under a year old the youngest only five months. The remaining two are both two years old.
 It quickly became apparent that shoe leather and stamina were not the only factors in the race. Mrs. Ada May Edwards of Manchester, mother of the five months old baby, wheeling a light folding perambulator took the lead at the start over the four heavier baby carriages but soon lost her ad- when she had to halt to nurse her offspring who had been loudly | noising his demand for nourishment. It was a quick lunch, Mrs. Edwards | showing the infant back in the per- ambulator after such short interval hat only one competitor passed her.

AGAINST DISAPPOINTMENT

Buenos Aires, April 7.--If the Pan American conference decides to post question to the future congress, the practical results of the present dis cussions will be even less than these of previous meetings says La Nacion today in commenting upon reports that such disposition of the ques- ton may be made.
 Postponement, the newspaper adds, would show that the delegation fear to consider problem of such im- portance and would mean that future Pan-American conferences would lose in prestige and popularity.
New Britain herald., 1923-04-07

All along the route crowds cheered the contestants. Mrs. Lily Groom of Eastbourne reached Red Hill 20 miles from Westminster at 9:37 and Mrs. Edwards at 9:43. The others were trailing.
 The pece for the first four hours was so hot that several men accom- panying the marching mothers were fatigued on their arrival at Red Hill but the merry matrons were still go- ng strong.
 The winner will receive a silver showing" cup and about enough ioney to buy new pair of shoes.

NEW FUMIGATING PLAN
By Its Use Trinity officials Hope to Save Articles of Value Being De- stroyed in Museum.

Hartford, April 7.--The threatened destruction of specimens in Trinity college museum by the museum beetle and its larvae will be checked as soon as a newly devised fumigating sys- tenn using fumes of hydrocyanis acid is placed in working order in Board man hall. according to a statement today by Dr. Frederick W. Carpenter. professor of biology and in charge of the museum collections.
 Museum beetles are the cause of destruction of mounted specimens of both mammals and insects. and until recently museum authorities had had difficulty in preventing this loss. Liquid carbon bisulphid has been tried at Trinity but its fumes did not destroy the larvae fast enough to prevent the beetles from harming the specimens.
 The newly constructed fumigator, built on original lines, contains com- partments for the cases of insects as we'll as ample space for larger animal specimens.
