The presentation for the new
week at the President is entitled
Bringing Up Father in ireland"
Readers of the Sunday Funny
Page often wonder how Nc
Manus keeps this wonderfully
popular cartoon going year after
year with something new in. the
way of fun every week. Like
wise does it keep him busy pre-
pairing new stunts for the living
characters of "Jiggs and Maggie"
for their yearly stage play.
Bringing Up Father in Ire
land" looks to be one of the most
popular of the seemingly endless
series. Naturally, one would sus-
pect that "Jiggs and Maggie" are
Irish. Back to their native sod
must look good to them as well
as to the theatergoers who adj
mire their cyclonic vehicles of
fun and pretty girls.

Violent upturns in some of the high priced industrial specialties follow ed a revival of rumors of capital re- adjustments through stock split-ups and Increased dividends.
 Speculative interest in the rails was dampened by the failure of the souther railway directors to increase the regular quarterly dividend on lowing recent cuts furnished back about 3 points after the announce ment. Unexpectedly large sales fol- lowed recent cuts furnished back. ground for another advance n the motors, General Motors crossing 97 on large turnover Pierye Arrow was heavy.

RU7KOSKI GIVEN
 SENTENCE IN JAIL
Cannot Be Taken by Police Here
 for 30 Days

Alexander Rutkoski Is safe from the clutches of the local police until his score with the Unionville authori- ties has been settled. a fine of $150 and a 30 days jail sentence being imposed on him in the town court there last night for violating the motor vehicle laws Tuesday night. Detective Sergeant William P. Me- Cue was at the Unionville court last night ready to take Rutkoski Into custody If he was released on the charges there.
 That Rutkoski was doing all in his power to destroy any means of identifying him for the local police was indicated by change he effect ed in his name on his operators H. cense and the registration he took out on a stolen machine at the mo- tor vehicle department Tuesday aft- ernoon. The registration was taken out in the name of Rutko, and by using ink eradicator, he had elimin- ated the last three letters from his name so that it corresponded with the registration certificate.
 The police here believe that his ef- forts to conceal his identity, and the fact that he confined his joyriding and appearances in public to the night, tends to strengthen their be- lief that he can give information on the death of Ernest Palaferri on West Main street the night of Aug ust 30. When confronted in Farm ington by Special Inspector Joseph Harrison of the motor vehicle de- partment, and his real identity re- vealed, Rutkoski Is said to have trembled to such an extent that he was unable to speak for several minutes,
