 T prayed to God" she told him,
 "and promised that if He gave me a son I would give his life to Him.
 His mother told him that his life was his and he could do as he wished with 1t, but he said he would carry out her promise.

AT SEA
 ON CROSSING PLANS Five Proposals to End Traffic
 Hllards Now Before P. U.C. HEARING AGAIN ADJOURNS
Surprise Expressed When Attorney PFtW Appears for Retention Of East Main Street Grade to Pre- sceve Business Center,
Especial to the Herald)


 Hartford, Feb. 20 - The scope of the plans for eliminating highway hazards in the east end of Plainville was widened to embrace Blossoms corner az we'll as the East and East Main street grade railroad crossings at a hearing held before the public utilities commission in the assembly room of the state capitol here today and ali parties concerned virtually agreed to begin over again in an ef- fort to meet the numerous objections raised to all plans submitted. Both the town and the state highway de- partmeht submitted new plans to- day, while surprise was sprung when First Selectman James Simp- son and a group of petitioners asked that the East street grade crossing be retained. About 35 Plainville res idents were present at the hearing, which had been continued from three weeks ago to allow further study, and at the end the commission an- nounced another adjournment while 1t studied the five proposals before it and sought to effect a compromise plan which would meet all difficult ties. Opinions on the present plans was so divided that an agreement on any one of them appeared hopeless.
 McKernan Has New Plan
 Engineer Joseph N. McKernan of Plainville presented a second substi- tute plan designed to meet the ob- jections raised to the one which he submitted at the previous hearing, saying that he would like its cost to be estimated at the unit prices of the highway departments scheme. Chairman John B. Lamb of the town plan commission stated that he did not believe his board would approve the new plan, preferring the one which Mckernan offered at the hear ing few weeks ago. The question of whether the town would have to share the expense of carrying out any plan was raised by Chairman Stanley s. Gwillim of the town finance board and Chairman Rich ard T. Higgins of the public utilities commission replied that it would de- pend upon the expense and the plan adopted but that the possibility wal , a question for consideration. at least.
 The stand of the town plan com mission was explained by MT. Lamb ; He said that the original plan ol the highway department would dam- age the Trumbull Electric Mfg. Co.,, and other property greatly and that the $50,000 estimate of the highway l department seemed 'very small" By the new plan of Mir. McKernan three right-angle turns would be necessary 1 for east-to-west traffic, and Hougl street, narrow street, would have to be used.

 Since February
DELAY IN NOTIFYING
 POLICE UNTIL TODAY
Father Explains that He Did Not Call in Authorities Before as He Had Hoped to Find His Daugh- ter Without Ncwspaper Publicity May Have Sought Work Sonle- where in New York City.

New York, Feb. 20 R - Police were today asked to search for Miss Catherine Elizabeth Tierney. 22, of Middletown. Conn. who they were told. disappeared from Nary mount college at Tarrytown, N. Y., on February 3.
 Miss Tierney left Marymount college after telling authorities there that she was going to visit her grandmother, Mrs. Martin Rogers. in New York. She never arrived at the Rogers home but in- vestigation revealed that she tele- phoned a friend at Marymount on February ' and discussed casual college interests.
 Report to police was delayed un- til today by the wish of the girls father. George H. Tierney of 159 Spring street, Middletown, who hoped to find his daughter without publicity.
 Father Explains Delay
 In a letter to the Tarrytown chief of police. the girls father said he had reported his daughter as missing to the school authorities on February 1c, nine days after she had left the school, and that he had since refrained from reporting to the police on the request of the mother superior of the college, who feared possible unpleasant mo- toriety which might result for the school"
 His daughter, he said. was e2 years old, and he believed that be- cause of her age she did not oe- sire to remain longer at college and had left to earn her own living.
 'She probably has taken a room at & Y. w. c. A. in or near New York city" he wrote. "and is try ing to find a job. Because of her extremely nervous condition, she may have become exhausted and is being cared for in some public in stitution. feel sure she would not disclose her identity unless she were forced to.
 '"There was no discord at home | nor was she in any way made te understand that she must remain at school. It is simply a queer men. tai twist that has caused her te leave luxury in an attempt to find employment. when if she had plain ly told her case to her mother ant me. we might have been of vas assistance to her."
 The letter described the missinf girl as about five feet. eight inche' tall, weighing 135 pounds a blonde trimmed with mirabou. She was be lieved to have had $100 when sh, left the school.

Though Not Quadruplets, Four Brothers to Celebrate Their
 Birthdays Tonight in Toledo
Aged 19 IT, 15 and 13, Sons of Stanley Kolinsk Were All Born on Feb. 2O-Mother Bakes Four Triple Layer Cakes and Buys GA Candles for
 Evenings Unique Party.

Toledo, Ohio, Feb. 20 (UP)-The four sons of Mir and Mrs. Stanley Kolinski celebrated their birthday today. They are not quadruplets.
 Edward. the eldest, was 19; AIbin became IT; Clarence Is, and Stanley. Jr.. 13.
 Each was born on February 20 and the Kolinskis have no other children. It is easy to remember a birthday date in the family. But the amazing coincidence has its draw backs The number of candles need ed for the inevitable cakes increases by four every year and the cost of 64 candles. such as will grace the table tonight, is not to be flickered at.
 Then there was the problem of the cakes themselves. It was a simple matter back in 1909 when kEdward appeared. Even in 1912. when Edward was three and Albin one there wasn't much to it. Mrs. kolinski had only two cakes to bake.
 Things began to happen in earn est when on the next Feb. 20, Clar- ence was born.
