Some time ago. the boss asked
all the employees to have q drink

Did we do right In refusing?
We're not the kind of girls who

are puzzled about this question.

You were quite right girls. in
refusing the drink your employer

FINDS EUROPE REGISTERING
President Atwood Of New Britain Trust Co. Reports No Poverty Abroad, on Return Home.

Despite the financial situation in some parts of Europe the continent seems prosperous and there is prac- tically no sign of poverty, according 10 William E. Atwood, president of the New Britain Trust Co.,. who with Mrs. Atwood has just returned from a trip abroad.
 Mir Atwood did not investigate business and banking conditions on the other side from a professional standpoint, but he says looking at it from the tourists viewpoint the fall of the franc in France and Bel gium and the lira in Italy do not seem to have brought on any pov- erty or squalidness. The banker said he saw less signs of squalidness in Europe than can be seen on low CT East side and some other parts of New York city.
 The cost of living has materially decrease, as viewed from the pur- chasing price of dollar, he stated.
 MT. and Mrs. Atwood did not visit the battlefield of France. They were told there is some hostility towards Americans in Paris. but did not come in contact with any.
 They visited England, Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium, italy and several other countries.

SVINDLE FOILED
 BY BANK CLERK
One Man Arrested, Three Escape
 in Springfield

Springfield, Mass, Aug. 26 Rl- The timely warning of bank off, cial to police thwarted one of the slickest confidence games here in years and saved s2S,000 for William J. Wiesener, real estate broker and former New York fire captain, as he was about to turn the sum over to four men in a Springfield hotel. Three of the four implicated in the attempted swindle escaped in high powered car, but James Stuart, 33, giving his address at HAS Central park west, New York, is being held on a charge of attempted larceny.
 A chance remark concerning a bogus stock on which the con men made repeated killings" caused a local banker to tip off police head quarters, with the result that de- tectiyes foiled the crooks with but few minutes to spare. One of Stu arts three accomplices represented himself to be Henry c. Prick, Pitts burgh steel magnate, who has been dead several years. The confidence game, carefully planned, began sev- eral weeks ago, when Stuart, using an alias, approached Wiesener in his home town, Whitestone, N. Y, and dickered for the purchase of his .S100.000 apartment block there. He said he represented MT. Prick and that if Wiesener would go with him to Springfield the deal could easily be consummated there.
 The Whitestone realtor accepted the offer and came to this city. In local hotel a neat trick was pulled by which three of the crooks made the acquaintance of the fourth. The stock tips" resulted. A large kill ing was in the offing and the group had all but about s30,000 of the money needed to put it over. Wiese- ner went to New York for the money and, returning brought friend from Whitestone. Going to bank to draw the s2S,OOO, the pair by chance mentioned the myth ical brokerage house through which the big coup was being engineered. Suspicious. the banker notified police and the arrest followed. Chilled by detectives. Stuart admitted his part in the confidence game. His accom- pices. apparently, made good their escape.

HURRICANE WAVES,
 HOMES REOCCUPIED
Weather Reports Bring Families
 Back to La. and Texas

New Orleans, La, Aug. 26 P) - Several thousand persons who yes- terday fled from their homes near the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana and Texas prepared to return to- day as weather bureau officials predicted that the tropical hurri- cane which came roaring out of the gulf yesterday would spend its force about 100 miles inland.
 Louisiana residents today were busy checking the damage caused by the storm. Accurate totals were hard to obtain because wire com- munications were severely curtail- ed. Houses were unroofed in some sections and many trees were up- rooted
 Barometers along the coast which had been falling steadily for more than a dozen hours. were rising today, showing that the cen ter of the storm had passed on. Wind velocity also continued to decrease in most sections. The speed of the wind in New Orleans diminished from a peak of 45 miles an hour last night to 2S shortly after midnight. It began to in- crease, however, about an hour after midnight soon blowing as high as 35 miles an hour. Weather forecasters were of the opinion that stiff winds would continue for several hours.
 A 60 mile gale was raging in Morgan City and five inches of rain had fallen there when communica- ton with that town from New Or leans became impossible early last night. Several houses had been damaged, the roofs of some being lifted, before the wires to Morgan City were crippled.

Here's Novel Excuse for
 Speeding in His Auto

Tuckerton, N. J., Aug. 26 R)- State troopers and justice of peace officers meet with many new excus- es for breaking the law. Today Officer Metirione, of the state police and Justice of the Peace Potter, of West Creek, listened to a new one.
 Officer Metirione arrested Hugh Buckhardt of Travis City, Mich, on a charge of speeding. Upon his ar rival at the office of the justice he asked to be freed because he was a friend of President Coolidge. Buck hart said: Do you remember read ing in the papers not long ago of the man who gave the president a cherry pie, well l am the man."
 Justice Potter, however, did not think that being a friend of the president of the United States meant anything to Ocean county laws and fined Buckhart S10 and costs.

SAYS GOVT. SHOULD
 CONTROL MOVIES
Fairbanks Back From Europe
 With Revolutionary Suggestion

New York, Aug. 26 CP) - Doug las Fairbanks, who has turned miles of celluloid into piles of gold by means of capitalistic al- chemy. has come back from soviet Russia a convert to government ownership of motion pictures.
 "In Russia" he said upon his return from Europe on the Majes- tic yesterday, "the moving picture industry is controlled by the gov ernment, which is a good thing. The plan could be followed in the United States. and would mean that we would have good pictures to educate our children"
 Also, since pictures are coming to be regarded as definite instru- ments of propaganda, they may well be run by the government provided the sense of artistry is not sacrificed, and the New York World today quotes him as advo- eating government ownership in this connection.
 "The Russians are the finest picture makers in the world,' in the acrobatic stars opinion. Americans and Germans are not in it with them"
 MT. Fairbanks admitted that he was "a little scared in Moscow be- cause some of the red organs had
  arrival, and placed me in the capitalistic class"
 But he and his little boss as l he calls Mary Pickford, had a great reception, he said, and he was told there were 100000 per sons in the crowd that welcomed him. many of them having trav- eled from far away cities for a glimpse of the screen favorites,
