Jones May Be Confined
 To Insane Institution

Examination by physician hay ing disclosed that the alleged inde- cent assault on year old girl by Eugene Jones, aged 31, an inmate of the Town Home, actually was not as serious as the girl charged, con- tinuance for one week was ordered in Jones case by Judge Henry P. Roche in police court today. and in the meantime steps will be taken by the public welfare department to have him committed to state in- stitution. Assistant Prosecuting At torney w. M. Greenstein told Judge Roche that Superintendent J. l.. Doyle of the public welfare depart ment will have Jones examined. as it is believed he is feeble minded. Even if a conviction resulted from the prosecution. jail would not be the place for Jones, Mr. Greenstein said, in view of his mental condi- ton.
 When the girl made the state ments which resulted in Jones' ar rest, Superintendent Doyle question cd him and he is said to have ad- mitted their truth. In view of the finding of the examining physician. however. it appears that the incl dent was more dangerous in it's pos- abilities than in an actual offense.

 steam Lines

4 denial that motor truck trans- portation has injured railroad ship ping was made by A. F. Marsh of this city, state secretary of the Con- necticut Motor Truck association in an address to the Rotary club of Meriden yesterday.

 He said motor trucks perform an important specialized service to farmers, merchants and manufac- turers by providing prompt service, crating and packing facilities ana direct deliveries, obviating the nsc- essity of rehandling.
 A. w. Grant president of the as- sociation, also spoke on the policy of the association in paying bonuses to drivers who get through safely without losing time or dama gine goods in shipment. He spoke brief ly on safe driving methods endors- ed by the association.

"Nv dear little girl:

You may not think that what call you at the beginning of this letter is true, but it is. When I am John Fenton. you are the thing ! love best on earth. Indeed, you are the only thing I have to love; but when I am what I was last night, I'm just plain brute.
 "Because-I must confess it-1 am a slave to drink. and because love you, I'm going to leave. Don't feel grieved about it. as I've been thinking it over for long time. I'm with such hopeless thing and take the best years of your life l lost my job the day before you gradu- ated-and--you know the rest.
 Some day, dear child. if fate IS better 10 me than she has been. and I get on my feet, I'll come back, and make great confession to you.
 Bad and selfish as l am, I wouldn't leave if l didn't know you'd get along better without me. I am leaving you twenty-five dol lars. which will get your food until your first payday.
 T am deeding the house over to 1 you. You'll find the deed in the l upper drawer of the bureau in your 1 room. All you have to do is to sign it. The lot will be quite valuable some day. and I've always lmanaged | to pay the taxes on it, with all my craving for drink.
 Tell David all about it. Hes all l right. in spite of what l said. If you need help, 90 to him.
 YOUR LOVING, BUT WORTH LESS, DAD.'
 Lynda read the note over and over again. as people always do when they cannot at first grasp bad news; then. when she fully realized what her father had done, she threw herself face downward on the bed and, through tears and sobs | begged him to come back. She ac- cused herself of not being kinder 10 him when he had one of his spells"

Bosnia Also Decides
 To Abolish the Veil

saralevo, Bosnia, July II tR - Following Turkeys example in the emancipation of women, the su- preme Moslem Synod of Bosnia has decided to abolish the feminine veil.
 At further sittings, the synod will consider the movement in fa- vor of monogamy for both sexes in line with Bosnia's sister states of Albania and Turkey.
 The veil will be replaced by modified form of the Charshaf which is an attractive one-piece head dress enveloping the head and shoulders but leaving the face entirely uncovered.
 Announcement that the prophet Mohammeds ancient ordinance for bidding women to expose their faces had been relegated to history, caused joy among the new genera ton of Moslem women who now. are clamoring for bobbed hair, short skirts. high -heeled shoes and Euro pean hats.
