MUSIC SOOTHES FOES,

CITY HALL GIRLS
 CALLED FLAPPERS
Critic Suggests Men Be Named
 to Clerical Positions
.Painted face nappers of City

Painted face fappers of City Hall" and the police and fire depart ments are criticized in a communi- cation received at the office of Mayor Weld in which it is suggested that men be substituted for women in clerical positions, and that the personnel be reduced.
 The communication reads:
 "Why talk about cutting salaries :" Here's a suggestion which would be bigger saving than cutting a few rid of lot of those useless painted jays and f1appers, who lumber up city hall all puffed up with them selves. There's too many women in each and every office that they are employed in. One good man would take the place of two poor or just average women clerks, and have more work for the money paid out in salaries, and let them walk when they have to go to work, not ride. Plenty to be had at almost any time. After all, most of them are only filling in till they get married, and then some of them stay on too Pretty soft! It's the taxpayers that's the dumb fools, just dumb fools.
 'SThose who are hired as clerks, let them stay in office and work as clerks and get extra help only as it is needed. which is only occasionally. There's plenty of women would be able and willing to fill in part time and be as good and better than some of the fancy high-priced ladies now employed. And why pick on city hall? There's the police and fire men. They get pretty good salari~5 for the nature of their work. Their brains are not overtaXed if at all. Automatic, or nearly so, that's what they are. Get rid of the many and keep the good and make them worth more money by making them earn 1t. Some departments could stand q good cleaning up.

come with the welcoming party on the Macon. There were tears in Mrs. Haldeman's eyes and it va. a touching moment when the flier tore himself away for a moment to an- swer the flood of questions that was directed at him and Miss Elder. Informed that her husband had expressed the hope that her flying days were over, Miss Elder smiled and said, I'm sorry about that, but I've no intention of quitting now"
 Wont you go back to washing dishes for him?" she was asked.
 I've washed lots of dishes" she answered, adding that she did not intend to go back to Panama with her husband right away" Would I like to do 1t over again? |? We'll. l should say so, and I hope to be able to, but I have no plans now for the future"
 And Capt. Haldeman joined her in this sentiment.
 If Miss Elder wants to go again next year and If she wants me as co-pilot," he said, 'I'll be tickled to death to go with her"
 It was Haldeman who landed The American GirI' on the ocean just before the wrecked fliers were rescued by the steamer Barendrecht, Miss Elder said, He had no time to don his safety suit before the crash, but she put hers on in hurry, she said. When the steamers lifeboat came to pluck them off the floating plane, it was Haldeman who was taken off first, she said, because the boat crew saw that he had no means of keeping afioat.
 Explains Explosion
 The explosion which ruined the plane while 1t was being hoisted aboard the Barendrecht, Haldeman said, probably was caused by a sud- den puncture of the gasoline tanks as the plane bumped against the side of the vessel in heavy swell.
 "We were in the water only S5 minutes before We were picked up," Haldeman said. When we landed we were only about 100 feet from the Barendrecht, but the heavy sea carried us off and by the time the lifeboat came alongside we must have been a quarter of mile from the ship"
 Miss Elders faith that "every- thing was going to be all right" drove away any fright she might have felt when the American Girl zoomed down to the ocean, she said.

BRIDGEPORT AUTOISTS
 BLAMED BY CORONER
Dr. Crecnstein and Stephen Zorad Held Responsible For
 Mans Death

l Bridgeport. Conn. Nov. Il R-
 Dr. Maurice J. Greenstein of Bridge,
 port and stephen Zorad of Bridge, i port are today held by Coroner
 John J. Phelan criminally responsi ble for the death on November 5
 Of Fritz Holmer, eG. Holmer was struck and instantly killed by a car
 operated by Dr. Greenstein after it | had figured in a collision with one operated by Zorad. The accident occurred in this city.
 In holding the men, however, the coroner leaves it up to the criminal authorities to decide whether he is justified in holding responsible the driver of any car so constructed as 10 obscure his vision when approach ing street intersection.
 The coroner declares In his find ing that it was stated by both driv-
 CTS that 1t was quite probable their failure to discover each other was caused by the obstruction to view
 offered by the front corner posts of their respective cars.
 The coroner finds that Zorad had the right of way and ought to have been seen by Dr. Greenstein and al lowed to exercise that right by Greenstein, had the latter used the necessary and proper care at the moment, and that the failure Of Dr. Greenstein to so discover the other
 machine and to grant the right of way must be attributed to the ma terial and original cause of the col lision.
 The coroner further states: "In this particular I am also of the opIn- ion that Zorad was also at fault in this respect in failing 10 discover Dr. Greenstein in time to forbid him moving northward until danger of collision had been averted."

 Prosecuting Attorney Charles F. Conlon, who presented the men be- fore Justice William Cunningham, said there was some doubt as to the cause of the dogs death. Miller and Leonard claimed to have fed him and believed he must have been poisoned. They also claimed to have fed and watered the horse.
