MURDER fARM' IS !.
 PR0bED BY POLICE
Boys AlleBd te Have Not Thalr
 DatB 1hert ..t

Los Angeles, Sept. Is MSThs story of murder farm" near Riverside, Calif., on which four boys met their deaths. as told by . ls- year-old prisoner at the place, WAS declared by the police today to have been verified. at least in part. by an inspection of graves on the three acre ranch.
 Although none of the three bodies declared by Sanford Clark, 15, to have been buried in and near the chicken house on the ranch prop erty could be found. detectives said the graves were located and iudica- ttona found that bodies or other ob- jects either had been removed re- gently or had been treated with quick lime.
 A boys head was found in one of the graves. It was believed to be the head of a decapitated body found near Puenets, Calif.. last month.
 Question Owner Of Ranch
 Officers here questioned Cyrus George Northcott. 57, owner of the ranch. who was held as & material witness. A coastwise hunt has been ordered for Northcott's 2l-year-otd son. Stewart Gordon Northcott. and his mother. Mrs. Louise Northcott. The officers said young Northcott was believed to have ned to Canada after Clark's arrest by immigration officers investigating his entry into the United States. stI
 The boys who young Clark said had been slain on the Northcott ranch were Louis and Nelson Wins low of Pomona, 13 and . years cid respectively. who had been sought as missing for several months; Wal ter Collins, !. of Los Angeles. and the decapitated youth. who was of Mexican blood.
 Walter Collins, kidnapped. last March, supposedly WAS returned rs. gently to his mother-a doubtins mother. however, who wasn't sure that he was her son.
 shown picture of the Collins boy. Clark told the police: Yes. that's the boy that was killed"
 Clark. who claims that he was kidnapped from Saskatchewan, Canada, two years ago by Northcott. told officers that he had been forced to aid in killing one of the boys.

HOW 10 EAT APPLES WHEN SERVED As A DESSERT
According to Fred Behrens

According to Fred Behrens
 Dessert Is very difficult course to manage. Indeed, a friend of mine once ceased to be mentioned by his aunt for six months for having cut an apple from East to West instead of from North to South.
 It is to help such that I give the following hints on how to deal with apples as dessert, both in attack and offensive, with especial reference to the offensive, the consolidation of gains and the final touchdown:
 The apple should be held in the left hand and peeled with the knife. Care should be taken at the later stage to ensure (a) that the globe does not bound across the table un- der too great pressure of the fin- gers, and (b) that the gradually lengthening by-product of peel does not become entangled with the clothing. This peel should be looped up as 1t becomes available and neat ly coiled on the plate.
 The practice of throwing 1t over the left shoulder to see what girls initial it forms on falling should not be indulged in except in the se- clusion of your home Or in the park. In any case it should be dis continued after marriage as likely to cause misunderstanding.
 The alternative habit-once com- mon during heat-wavcs-of plaster ing short lengths of peel on the forehead for the sake of coolness is fast dying out.
 After the preliminaries the apple should be divided into segments, ex- cluding the core, and conveyed to the mouth on a fork.

pupil. New Britain's figures are not alarming compared with most of the other cities of the state. Of course. there has been an increase-from sSs.s3 in l922 to tss.:s in 1927. an increase of less than q. But compare this with an increase of e20 in Hart ford. Sl1 in Bridgeport. 313 in New Haven. $32 in Stamford, and t10 in Waterbury. The only city with as small an increase as New Britain has been Meriden. The average for these cities is s10S.34.
 If one hearkens back to 1916-17. of course, one finds that the cost at that time was only half what 1t is today. But the same holds true in all other cities and is partly explained by the fact that the teachers were patriotic during those days and did not insist upon higher wages during time when war wages prevailed everywhere else. It has taken them time to catch up. and probably they have done it, not only here but everywhere. New Britain. of course, must compete in the open market for school teachers
 The superintendent recommenda- tions center around increased efficiency in plant, equipment and teaching. He believes it worthy of serious consideration to increase the number Of pupils per teacher in the senior high and junior high. He fore. sees part time sessions in the senior high next year if increased facilities are not provided. And while he is enunciating this disconcerting fore. cast there is further delay about im- proving the building.
 What is needed in the city is more action and less talk. The city several years ago started plan to accom- modate it's school children and has made a good start. The new build- ings satisfy everyone, and whenever citizens look at the Roosevelt, Lin- coin, Vance or other new buildings they never pause to reflect or worry about the cost.
 The job has not been completed. Let's go.

THE HOLMES REPORT

It is doubtful whether the report of the special committee investigat- ing the schools will be more compre- hcnsive than that made public by Superintendent of Schools Stanley II. Holmes. It contains virtually everything in connection with the problem 1t discusses-"facts, figures and statistics" One could not wish for more. Interspersed in the report are interpretations and suggestions that elucidate it. Closely following upon the heels of reports indicating that the school enroilments have ad- vanced beyond expectations-which indeed are also included in the superintendent's annual report those who give intelligent heed to this pressing difficulty will find much to ponder about.
 Despite the fact that the increase of pupils at the senior high school has been per cent. and that there has been a constant increase every year, the cost per pupil has dccreas- ed since 1922-23. In that school term it was the highest of seven cities in Connecticut. Today it is next to the lowest of these seven cities. In ad- dition, New Britain's senior high is the only institution of the kind in these seven cities which has shown a decrease since that time.
 In the face of this record there does not seem to be logic in con- tinually glancjng at the senior high school and complaining of the cost Of operating it.
 To be which means to quote the figures-the cost per high school pupil in New Britain in 1922 g was $161.1S. The cost 1926-27 was S133.71. New Haven is the only city having lower cost than this. The cost in Hartford is $213.42: in Waterbury. S201.25.
 Elementary school costs per pupil in New Britain have increased con. siderably. however; yet only two cities. Bridgeport and New Haven show lower figures. Hartford has 8 very much higher cost.
 In the costs for all schools. pei

portant appointive positions Such experienced Democrats as happen to run for important oflice must have obtained their experience elsewhere. On the present Connecticut ticket there is Lonergan, candidate for the U. s. Senate, who obtained his political experience as q congress man. Another candidate for nomina- ton was P. B. O'suIlivan. who had obtained experience as a congress- man. But for governor the party re- turned to Charles G. Morris. who has had no opportunities to shine in the Legislature; and so down the list of other candidates. Compare them with the Republican state candi- dates, virtually all of whom have been identified with the state gov ernment. This is not saying, of course. that the Democratic candidates, lacking legislative experience for the most part. would not provide good state government should they roll into oflice this election on the tail of tae Smith kite. Not even the most hard shelled Republicans claim that Nor ris Is not an able man, and he hap pens to be the type of business exc cutive that the Republican have lauded more than once.
 If the Democrats should happen to wrest the state government from J. Henry Roraback they could do noth- ing better for the state than begin undermining the state Constitution so as to wrest such preponderatins political control from the small towns. And even that might be i'm. possible with three-fourths of the legislators hailing from the small towns.
 It is situation where the prin- ciples of genuine democracy clash with oligarchy entrenched in the po- litical saddle.

POST OFFICE CHOICES

When 1t became established that the government would construct a new post office in Hartford, to take the place of the antiquated structure at the rear of the old state house, numerous interested citizens with plots to sell were heard from. AS is customary under such circumstances each had just the proper site and each knew exactly how much it was worth to the government.
 But the government, it seems, is not overpaying property owners for post ofIlce sites. The government, in fact, is an amazingly careful buyer. Anyone desiring to sell real estate to the government at twice it's rea- sonabIe value learns much by the time. the discussion has progressed very far. So it is likely that in Hart ford, a elsewhere. the government will choose the site where it ob- tains the most for it's money: and this, it seems, will not be near the present post office site.
 The postal department in recent years has favored post offices as close to the railroad stations as pos sible. This is logical development, too. seeing that the mails are trans ported on the trains and long trip between the railroad station and the post office is just that much lost motion. In many of the most im- portant cities. indeed, post offices have been constructed in connection with the railroad stations. At the rear Of the Penn. terminal. New York. there is a post office which is as large as the passenger terminal itself: and there also is post office in connection with the Grand Gen. tral terminal. In Philadelphia there is post office in connection with Broad street station: in Washington there is a large one in the Union station. And thus it goes all along the line.
 The ideal post office site in Hart ford would be adjoining the railroad station, or close to that structure. It ; at least will be in that section of the city.
 The quicker the present structure is razed the better Nutmeggers will be pleased. It should not have been built upon state land in the first place. In those days citizens were more accommodating 10 the govern ment, yielding free land for innu- merable post offices. The more mer- cantile view in Hartford today is to charge the government up to Sso0,- 900 for a site, although the pos- l abilities are slim for such a sale.
