MUSIC AS AN AID
 TO AMERICAN|zING
Programs in Evening Schools Helpful, Director O'Brien Says

A plan. which is by no means novel, but which is not generally known to the people of this city Is the one now in vogue in the local evening school. According to this plan tho aim of AmericanizatIon is accomplished not only through tho medium of academic curricula but also through the medium of a series of social functions by. which 1t Is sought to stimulate and put into practice the ideas which are installed and developed in the students in the classrooms.
 These "get-together" socials are held simultaneously at the three schools on Thursday evening every other week. The programs are composed of group singing. vocal and instrumental solos, occasionally folk dancing by students of the day schools, moving pictures furnished by the school department, gymnas- tic stunts and variety of games for large and small groups. The plans for these socials are made and car- ried out by the principals and teach CTS in conjunction with committees composed of two representatives from each class. At the first part of the year attendance is restricted to evening school students but later on the bringing of friends and rela- tives Is encouraged. Programs For Tonight
 A series of these entertainments is scheduled for tonight. At the Central evening school there will be group singing. several selections by the evening school orchestra, vocal selections by Mrs. Charles Solomon, piano selections by Samuel Finger. violin selections by Ole Johnson and accordion solo by Otto Leopold. Aft CT the program dancing and games will be enjoyed.
 At the Elihu Burritt evening school the program will be as fol- lows: Violin and accordion duet, E. Johnson and c. svefhon. selections by a string orchestra composed of the members of one of the classes, group singing by one of the classes of the school. Miss Catherine Tor may, teacher of physical education at the Nathan Hale school, will be in charge of the dancing and the games.
 The program at the Washington evening school will consist of a va riety of numbers provided by stu dents of that school. Several native Polish dancing numbers will be pre- sented which will be followed by American dancing. to show the con- trast. Another feature of the pro- gram will be the playing of games.
 James F. O'Brien, director of the evening schools. stated that these social functions have been success full and it Is encouraging to see that the students are anxious to attend them in order to put into practical use the ideas which they gain by at tendance at the reEular sessions of the schools on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

BAlTAGLIA PAYS UP
Settles Suit For $1,295 Brought Against Him By Former Brewing Interests in Hartford,

Joseph Battaglia, at one time pro- prietor of a saloon on railroad ar- cade, appeared before Judge Dicken- son in the court of common pleas recently and submitted a record book m defense of suit for s1,295 brought by the New England Food Products Co. After handwriting. ex- pcrts had testified In Battaglia's in- terest, Judge Dickenson reserved de- cision. Yesterday, Battaglia through his counsel, George W. Klctt, made full settlement.
 The Hartford concern opened a saloon for Battaglia several years ago on his note for $2,S25, he to pay $50 a month. Each payment was marked in a book by William A. Burke, agent of the company. The payments show a numeral "1" be- fore the $50, making them read Sl50. Battaglia claimed these f1s urcs to be true, but Burke entered denial. A handwriting expert said the figures were all written by the same hand.
