WOMAN ARTIST TELLS
OF HIDING FROM RIFFS
Stopped by Police and Stranded in
Desert Among Experiences
of American Painter.
Br the Associated Press.

bN tne ASSOcidteu 1iEss
NEW. YORK, March 2f.--Playing
hide and seek with Riffian troops on a
lonely mountain road in war-torn
Morocco was part Of the quest for
color" undertaken by Miss Lillian
Genth, American artist. Her paint
tngs are now exhibited here.
Miss Genth spent weeks unravel-
ing red tape at Tunis and Algiers.
II was stopped by the police be-
cause Mohammed, in his fear of idol
worship, forbade reproduction of the
human FORM" she said. Sometimes
set up my easel in streets where
no white people went, and the Arabs,
full of dirt, disease and color, swarm
ed around me-"
After much difficulty she slipped
through the Spanish lines, lodged the
soldiers of Ab-del-Krim, and later
found herself stranded in the Sahara
Desert when her automobile ran out
of gasoline. She was rescued by a
passing Erenchman.
In Biskra Miss Genth painted some
of the dancing girls from the famous
street of Ouled Nail. The girls wear
gold coins from their earnings as
necklaces.

MAYOR WELD READS ANNUAL MESSAGE TO COMMON COUNCIL

self very thoroughly with the needs of his particular ward and the city in general. More attendance of council meetings is not sufficient.
 I believe that the Council at pres. ent is too unwieldy for the most efficient work. and should like to recommend that study be given . plan to reduce the size of our coun- cil. A board of Alderman. composed of fourteen members. two from each ward. and two Aldermen at large. each to be paid at least two hundred dollars per year. would in my opinion expidite transaction of the city business and greatly in- crease the value of the board to the citizens and the municipality as a whole.
 Conclusion
 In conclusion I again ask and re- quire loyal cooperation. strict economy, and able efficiency from every member of the city govern- ment. It is only through the medi. um of these three attributes that we may hope to give the service to our city that its citizens have tho right to expect.
 Respectfully submitted,

OBrien Boy
 Thin and Pale
In a Little Over Two Months Gained
 Eleven Pounds

As body builder, an appetite creator. and 10 make weak, skinny boys and girls sturdy, strong and full of energy there is nothing like Cod Liver Oil-any physician will tell you that.
 But it's vile. horrible stuff to take. and is apt to upset any stomach, so now doctors are prescribing and wise parents are buying McCoys Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets sugar-coated, and as easy to take as candy.
 The son of George G. OBrien of Mahwah. N. J., was thin and pale and did not get enough nourishment from his food. In a little over two months, he gained eleven and one half pounds. and feels and looks ono hundred per cent better.
 Mothers, if any of your children are weak, thin or puny, give them these tablets. as directed for 30 days. and watch them gain flesh and health from day to day-they seldom fail-but if the unusual should happen and you are not su- premely satisfied with results-your druggist is authorized to return your money.
 Be sure-always-to get the orig inal and genuine McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets-60 tablets 60 cents at any druggist in Amer ica. Thousands of boxes sold daily.

Heal Skin Diseases
 For 5 Cents
Others May Fail - Peterson's
 Ointment Sure To Succeed

The minute you apply Peterson's Ointment to that burning. inf1amed. eczema tortured skin-its mighty healing power brings blessed relief.
 But better still after a few appl- cations skin is clear and free from eruptions or roughness. It's the one great skin remedy that every drug gist is glad to recommend.
 Get a large box for only 35 cents at any druggists-and money back if it isn't the best you ever used. AL ways keep Peterson's Ointment in the house. Fine for burns, scalds. bruises, sunburn, chaf1ng and aching infiamed feet. There is nothing bet ter for itching eczema and piles.

No More Piles Thousands Bless Dr, Leonhardt. the Physician Who Discovered This

A board :, of 14 aldermen. twt from each ward and two at large each to receive . salary of $200 : year. ii recommended as . substi. ute for the present common coun. cil system in the annual message oi Mayor Weld. read to the council last night.
 The message, the second annual statement from the mayor, reviews he activities of city departments turing the past year and makes nu- nerous recommendation for civic betterments. It shows the net debt 10 be .47s,6099e.
 The message. in full. follows:-
 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE
 COMMON COUNCIL.
 Gentlemen:
 In accordance with the provisions of the charter of the City of New Britain it is my duty and pleasure 70 present the annual statement of the financial condition of our city and to make recommendations and plans for the ensuing year.
 Many of the recommendations that l made in my message last year have been adopted and carried out. and as the city has, and is re- ceiving the benefit of these neces- sary improvements l shall not refer 10 them at this time.
 You are all familiar with the budget for 1927 and the reason for the necessity Of increasing our tax rate this year. I wish first of all 10 warn the various boards in our city government that they must keep strictly within their appro- priations. and I wish them to see that the need for economy in the operation of affairs of the city be impressed on every man in the em- ploy of their department.
 We have in the city government men who are capable and able to watch the expenditure of thousands of dollars, but We need the co-op- oration of every department and very employee to save to the city he small amounts that are so often wasted. every man in the city government must learn that he must not destroy nor throw away any, thing of value belonging to the city.
 l wish to discourage absolutely the tendency on the part of many of our departments. to endeavor to spend all the money that has been appropriated for their use. When a department turns back part of it's appropriation it is proof of efficient mana cement and it is the goal l ex- pect each department head to strive
 Financial Statement
 Balances of the different funds of the City of New Britain in the hands of the treasurer, March 31,
New Britain herald., 1927-05-19

The above statement or 1ndebted- , ness discloses the fact that our net lebt is s6.473 609.a2. Deducting the water and subway bonds less sink tng funds for same leaves an in lebtedness of s5.0S7,04o.15 appli- cable to the debt limit
 Our grand list as of october, 1926, including exempt property on which the five per cent bond limit prescrib- ed by state statute may be comput- d. amounts to s127,44S,693.00, per hitting the city to issue bonds to the amount of s6.372,4i4.s5. This leaves q margin of sl.2S5. 5.402.50.
 It will be necessary very soon to issue school bonds to the amount of S225, 100000 to be used to build the Clinton street school and q part of the notes for the building of the memorial will also have to be issued his year. It is very evident that this balance must be carefully guarded.
 Taxation
 A study of our taxable list and our tax rate for 1926 and 1927 re- Ncals that our expected income from taxes this year will be approximately three hundred. twenty-four thousand dollars more than the previous year. Of this amount principal payments and interests charged will take about one-third, school department one third. and the other third is divided among all our other city depart ments for absolutely essential needs.
 Our city is continuing to grow very ra pidly necessary improvemen are increasing and we must be very careful in our appropriations to con sider only those projects that are ab- solutely essential
 Every expenditure made should be
