Natchez, Miss, has oversubscribed its Red Cross

That is fine record. It would be notable for

For Natchez is in the midst of the flood district.
II is in the midst Of the cotton belt where the drop

Two Glimpses


This country is in pretty prosperous condition
nowadays, and things like hunger and want don't
come very close to most of us. But it is just as
we'll that we who so fortunate do not forge:
that hunger and want do still exist
Here are two little glimpses into the lower STRAIT.
Of our prosperous nation, cued from the days grist
Of news:
The first tells about Mrs. Frances Stenglern of
New York.
Mrs. Stenglern had husband and baby. The
husband was out Of work; Mrs. Stengem had
job as jantress, for which she paid $40 a
month. On this the three of them had to live.
It was too much. Mrs. Stenglern. seeing only
starvation ahead, abandoned her baby in door
way, hoping that whoever found it would not let
it die Of hunger.
When she got home she found that her husband,
by getting odd jobs, had accumulated $32. This
was godsend. The two went back to get the baby
It was gone.
Well the story ends pretty we'll Mrs. Steng
fern went to the police, they found her baby for
Her. and she and her husband are trying it again
And that's that story
The other story tells about Abraham Bass.
He is 80 years old and looking for job. For
26 years he worked for one company, but finally
be got laid off-too old. Now he's tramping the
streets looking for work. "Something1l turn up"
he says hopefully
There you are. Two little glimpses Of the shad-
Qwy side Of our prosperous country
What is to be done! That's hard question
Probably it will be impossible for US ever to de-
wise any system that will entirely prevent such
tragedies. There will always be misfits; there will
always be people who grow old without having
been able to save.
But it is good for US to think about those stories
occasionally. II it does nothing else, it keeps
from growing too compacent.

"Well. sir, came in from lunch
one day and found Miss Cherry in

her to tell me what the trouble was.
She said she was in love with man
whom her parents did not approve
Of, and that they had ordered him

man referred to, Mr.. Bohn?'
"She said his name was Chris
Wiley" BONN answered.
"Go on, Mr.. Rohnr Churchill di-
rected. Did she tell what her feel
ingsi for Mr.. Wiley were?"
"She said-I think her exact words
were that he had cast sped on her,
that she despised him for his philan-
derlng with women, but was infatu-
ated with him in spite of herself.
She confessed to me that she was
afraid she would break her parents
hearts by clipping with him, and that
she knew she would be unhappy with
him if she did. She was particularly
agitated at the thought Of how her
mother would suffer if she married
a man unworthy Of her."
"And what was Miss Cherry's an
swer to your prop0sal?" Churchill
asked. casting an affectionate glance
at the defendant, whose pale little
face had flushed rosily.
j "She refused me-, and voluntarily
left my employ be .ause, as she said.

RAISING to me-" Bohn answered.
MAY ask, Mr.. BONN, if during
her employment Miss Cherry made
any effort to take advantage Of your
good nature or your generosity, to
go'd-dig. as the phrase goes p
"She did mott" Bohn answered en-
phat,cally.

Another Success Story

The Success story" is more less an American
institution 1t has been told many times. in so
many different ways, that we sometimes get tired
of hearing it.
Yet it is good thing for us to be reminded now
and then, that perseverance, dogged determination
and plain everyday honesty have their reward
occasionally.
The latest variation of the heartcning but hack
neyed success story young man named
Jack Hohenberg
Four years ago Jack, who then H. walked
into the office Of the Seattle Star and announced
that he wanted job a reporter tie was told
that the staff full, and was advised to resume
his studies at the university But he wouldn't be
discouraged
"Sec here!" he said you're passing up some.
thing. don't just want job don't even want
any pay All want is chance to get somewhere.
This is the place I'm going to work If I'm will
ing to put my time against your experience. work
carly and late and hit the ball just if I were
getting fat salary, l don't that it's going to
be any money out Of your pocket"
The city editor reented. Hohenberg was given a
job without salary.
g All summer he worked q cub reporter. He
worked hard. He was given all of the dsagreeable
tasks that are to.be found around a newspaper Of
flee. He took them without murmur, and thought
up assignments dull days.
TO shorten the story, Hohenberg eventually won
regular job that had money attached to it. He
stayed with the Star for while. then he went to
New York, seeking to improve his ability by a
wider range of experience.
In New York he worked at night on newspaper
and by day studied in the Columbia University
School of Journalism 1t long hours and hard
work. with little time left for play, but Hohenberg
plugged away steadily.
Fl And now comes the climax of the story. The
other day, when the Pulitzer prize committee met
!. to make it's awards, Jack Hohenberg givcny ~
$1,000 travelling scholarship. He will sail soOs
for Europe to spend solid year in Paris studying
at the Sorbonne-the gcal Of every student.
Pretty soft? Well, he's going to have it pretty
nice for the next year. but he earned it, And it is
heartening to read about him.

meo Vanzetti and who sentenced
Them to death for murder, today ap-
peared before the special advisory
committee of the governor which is
reviewing the case.
Judge Thayer had been criticized
Tor rulings during the trial and was
accused of prejudice in affidavits
filed recently by several persons, in
cluding newspaper reporters.

To Investigate Gasoline Costs
Responds to Requests for
Inquiry Regarding Diff

and in Nearby Cities.

Mayor Weld today announced the
personnel of committee to investi-
gate gasoline prices in New Britain
to determine whether the high costs
are justified and why difference of
several cents per gallon exists in
rival stations selling the same kind
of gasoline.
Ralph H. Benson, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, will be the
chairman, assisted by Alderman
John +. Maerz, Councilman Stanley
NJ. Cooper. Chairman p. ]. Gaffney
of the Chamber of Commerce traffic
bureau and Clerk Walter L. Bell of
the garage commission, who is also
traffic manager for North & Judd

The mayor. has received several
requests that such a committee be
appointed, he explained. 1t has been
his experience that gasoline may be
purchased much cheaper in other
cities not farther removed from wa
ter shipping facilities than New
Britain, and although he is not pre-
pared to- says local charges are not
justified. he feels the reasons there
for should be known to the public.

CITY Wins TILT over
Willow BROOK SEWER
Court Refuses to Grant
Injunction to Don
nelly Brick Co.

An application by the Donnelly
Brick Co. to restrain the City of
New Britain from emptying storm
water sewage into Willow Brook
has been denied by Judge Yeomans
in superior court, making it possible
for the city to use this stream for
the present at least.
The petition for an injunction was
brought by Attorney Donald Gaff-
ney for the brick company. Cor
poration Counsel John H. Kirkham
and Joseph P. Berry of Hartford
represented the city.
Judge Yeomans declared the pol
luton of this stream can do little
damage up to the time a new trial
is given in the suit of the Donnelly
Co. for $4,000 damages to its
claypits. This action comes back
to the superior court from the SUI
preme court of Connecticut, where
it was ruled that the lower court
erred in denying nominal damages,
Attorney Berry argued that an in
junction would require the city to
block up its storm water sewers and
flood the city.

Mrs. Julia Azukas was granted a

plication as agent of the property
owner conferred with his attorney.

agreeing to accept the permit with
this condition.
Inspector A. N. Rutherford re-
fused to issue permits for these
buildings several weeks ago on the
ground that the tendency of an ap-
plication for zone change requires
him to withhold the permit. This
policy had been followed out since
the passage of coming act here. At
torney Colon brought a mandamus
action to require Rutherford to act
and the case came before Judge
Thomas p Malloy in the court of
common pleas last month. He ruled
that the petitioner should first have
gone to the board of adjustment
after being denied permits and de-
clined to issue an order to Ruther-
ford. The claim that tendency of
a zone change acts as stay was not
supported, however. Inspector Ruth
erford acted today after comforting
with Corporation Counsel John H.
