Bridgeport Painters
 On Five Day Week
Start New Schedule of $45 Instead of
 $44 as Before.

Y Bridgeport, April 5.-Journeymen painters and decorators of this city began working this week on new schedule of five days a week at a rate of $1.121s an hour, or $9 for the eight hour day.
 / The old schedule was five and half days a week and a rate of $1 an hour. The painters will get $45 per week un- der the new rate as compared with $44 for the old week, which required working on Saturday. morning.
 A shortage of painters and deco rators exists in Bridgeport due to high wages in the New York building trades district where $10.50 is the city's pay. There are about 60 master. painters in this city, who will be forced to pay the higher rate.

BRITISH IMPORTS, NOT LABOR. HURTS
 TEXTILES MILLS
Connecticut Mills Official Puts Blame for Industrial Slump
 Where It Belongs.

It's not the wages of labor, restric- tions on the employment of children nor the competition of southern mills that employ cheap labor, that is hit ting the textile industry in Connecticut and New England. but the enormous inportations from England, according to a frank and (from past perform ances) radical statement made this week by William s. Pepperill,. treas urer of the Grosvenor Dale Company with mills in eastern Connecticut and offices in Providence. He made the statements before the Southern New England Txtile Club at a meeting in Providence and following the previ- ous bleats of textile producers that high labor costs and restrictive child labor laws were running them, 1t was revolutionary to say the least.
 And the end of December and January" according to MT. PepperiH, "there were imported 18,000,000 yards of textiles, especially cottons from England. This is equivalent to the monthly production of 5 mills with 1000 looms each and although all of the goods imported could have been made in the northern fine goods mills we have lost this business" he con- tinued.
 Prices have been the chief factor in the enormous increase in these imports,' the price for Manchester made goods in New York being 8-35 cents less a pound than the same cloths in New York made Tn Amer ica. There are 75 to 80 British tex tile agents in New York now where there were only two or three few years ago.
 "In addition exports of American made cloths fell off 123,O@,000 square yards in 1923 as compared with 1922" Mr. Pepperil1 added. "In 1913 imports of all cotton goods were 48,O00,000 square yards with value of $17,O00,000 while in 1923 the figures were 1750O0000 square yards with a value of $37,OOO,OOO An idea of what this means in terms of America mills and production can be seen from the following: 18,O00,000 square yards equals 300,000 pieces month. On basis of production of two pieces ot cloth per loom per week, or eight and one-half pieces per loom per month, it means roughly the reduction of 35,- 900 looms and 1,725,ooo spindles."
 Strange to say nowhere did Mir. Pepperi11 attempt to blame the situa- ton onto "the high paid" American worker. He2couldn't in fact as it is known the British weaver is the high est paid artizan abroad. Neither did he blame the tariff so it must be as stunned that American buyers are simply giving American textiles the go-bye because of" the enormous pro fit charges the mill owners are p1ac- ing on them and buying the cheaper British goods.

Mr. Seitz declared that the farmer cannot and should not be 1egislated out of his present plight, for laws in his favor would create a land monopoly which would leave ev- eryone else at his mercy.
 The middle class has long been maligned as the n-producing class by labor and capital alike, MT. Seitz said but in reality it produces a com modity without which the country would be poor indeed intelligence.

Danny Finds Great Riches
By THORNTON BURGESS,

Danny Finds Urc8G ISiCnoS CLOSE at the heels of Bobby Coon
 ran Danny Meadow Mouse. Bobby
 was not running. No indeed. Bob by never runs unless he must, and now there was no need of running. But Bobby is so very much bigger than Danny Meadow Mouse that Danny had to run in order to keep up with boDDy, who was merely walking.
 "Is it very much farther" panted Danny. It seemed to him that they had travelled a very long way, though real ly it was not far at all.
 "Not much," replied Bobby, looking down at his little short-legged friend Are you getting tired?"
 . "A little," confessed Danny and right away was angry with himself for hay ing admitted it.. You see no one likes to admit that they cannot keep up with other people. This is especially true of little people. Bobby Coon stopped
 "You wait here a minute, while go sec if the way is clear" said he. Now Bobby knew that the way wos clear. At least he was reasonably sure that it was. He just made this an ex- cuse to give Danny Meadow Mouse a chance to rest. By the time he re- turned Danny was quite rested. If he cannot run very far without resting he rests even more quickly than he gets tired.
 "Is it all right?" asked Danny anx- iously.
 ~ right" replied Bobby Coon. "It's only a little farther and then there will be nothing for you to worry about"
 "Tm not worrying" retorted Danny stoutly. Lets get there, I cant imagine such riches as you have told me of. It sounds too good to be true"
 Bobby Coon didn't say anything. He just grinned good-naturedly and started on, Danny keeping close to his heels In a few minutes they passed under a fence. Danny noticed that they were following a little path, whereupon he shrewdly guessed that Bobby Coon had been this way often. Once under the fence they were on the edge of great open space of brown earth with only a little grass here and there and a few brown weeds, not enough of either to hide in. Danny hesitated as Bobby Coon led the way out into this. He had learned long since that it seldom is safe for a meadow mouse to go out in the open. Bobby Coon paused and looked back.
 What's the matter? Are you afraid?" he asked.
 "No," replied Danny Meadow Mouse s"I'm not afraid. I was just stopping to look"
 Not for the world would he have ad- mitted that he was afraid. He scurried after Bobby Coon. Bobby led the way to something big and tall covered with dry leaves that rustled when the Night Wind passed. It was a shock of corn They were in Farmer Browns corn, field.

 A FEW DAYS later Rupert sought "A Joan in the breakfast room, where
 she generally gave Sonny his les sons. "Is school out soon" he ques- toned, as he saw that Sonny was writ ing.
 "I will be in a few minutes" an- gwered Joan, "but, of course, if there Is anything special on hand we can all a half right now"
 "Well, I think you might" said Ru- pert.
 ''All right, Sonny, get your hat and go outdoors" announced Joan.
 ''Hurrah! :" shouted Sonny as he handed his notebook to Joan and bound ing past his father rushed out.
 Miss Fairweather, I find I'll have to be away for two or three weeks. I must attend several conferences. You will, of course, have entire charge of the household. I shall leave a schedule of the places expect to visit so that ill an emergency you can get in touch with me without delay"
 "I hope we won't need to call on you," and for moment loans eyes sparkled with hint of their old gaiety. Rupert, quick to notice any change of expression, thought she was delighted with the prospect of his absence and instead of responding to her as of old, remarked rather sternly. "One never knows; it is always wise to be pre- pared. If there is anything else you wish to see me about l shall be in my office again at noon.'
 "Very well," returned Joan gravely. q dot think of anything at the mo- ment, but I'll sec"
 Rupert strode outdoors to the barns but he could not settle down to the vari- ous problems that demanded his at tention. Why had Joan seemed so gay when he told her of his going? If she were engaged to Dr. Lang there

Here we are," said Bobby Coon. "Climb up in there and see if what told you isn't true."
 Danny did as he was bidden. It was no trouble at all to climb, for shock of corn is just made for mouse to climb about in. Up he climbed, and presently he came to great long ear of corn wrapped in its husk. It took Danny just about two seconds to tear that husk open, and there was the beau tiful yellow corn, TOW after row of gold en grains. Danny gave little gasp. Then he sighed, and that sigh was sigh of pure happiness. After this he nibbled at one of those golden grains. At the first taste he sighed another happy sigh, and then he settled down to eat. He forget Bobby Coon. He forgot everything but the joy of that feast.
 Bobby Coon waited patiently down below. Finally he spoke. "Is it as good as told you it would be-" he asked.
 Better" numbled Danny with his mouth full. T think if you don't mind, I'll stay right here."
 "All right replied Bobby. "Re- member your promise not to try to see any more of the Great World. I'm go- ing up to the Old Orchard myself"
 "I'll remember" replied Danny. q don't want to see any more of the Great World. This is good enough for me. It's the most wonderful place 1! I don't suppose there was such won derful place. I'm ever so much obliged to you, MT. Coon, for bringing me here."
 Don't mention it." replied Bobby I Coon. "Im going now. Goodbye" Goodbye" mumbled Danny Meadow Mouse.

Banjo and Head Phones
to Make Loud Speaker

The loud speaker or resonator here
In described not only works well. but
requires no mechanical or electrical
parts to be constructed or purchased
The requisites are banjo and head
phones, the latter used with one or
two stages of ampllfication, depend
Ing on the nearness Of stations.
The banjo is turned upside down,
one edge being raised slightly by plac-
ing 1t on q book or some such con-
venient object, so as to keep the tone
chamber clear of the desk or table
top. The phones are then laid on the
skin of the banjo, inside. The instru-
ment acts as a resonator of the sound
In the phones, giving a clear, musical
tone of pleasant characteristics. The
tones are distinct at all frequencies,
and enough volume Is furnished to fill
room with music from stations 500
miles distant, using a two-step audio-
frequency amplifier with a non-regen-
erative coupled receiver.
1t seems apparent that other musi-
cal instruments could be used, expert
menting with various positions for the
phones on the tone chamber until sat
lsfactory results were obtained. A
fambourine should work practically as
we'll as banjo in the capacity of q
oud speaker.
