 She srrang out of bed and dash ed into her bath. which, although she had drawn it the night before. was still cold enough to make her body tingle.t
 Not giving herself time to decide whether these little shudders were of pleasure or pain, she vigorously splashed the water over her white bosom. and then stepping out, she gave herself a vigorous rub with the coarse bath towel.
 She now was thoroughly awake, and for a moment hesitated for fear that she did not have time to spray herself with the toilet water that Claire had given her.
 II was only for moment, how ever, and then there was a squishy sound as she compressed the rubber bulb attached to the ornate bottle and felt the fragrant mist envelope her body. Tn haste she slipped into a teddy. drew on her long nude stockings. pushed her feet into her black pumps.
 Then came the little navy blue, one-piece dress, which dropped over her head.
 It took only minute to brush her straight bob into it's usual sleek and shiny ebony.

"As usual, they said it va, the only night all summer they had had mosquitoes, but that one night was enough for me. I'll tell the world. I counted 76 bites the next day, all over me.

State Forester Urges Rangers to
 Be WatChiul

Hartford. April IS LP,-Warnines were received by State Forester A. E. Hawes from the weather bureau at New Haven, that due to the pre- vailing high winds the danger of forest fires was considerably in- creased and that all lookout stations should be cautioned of this condi- ton.
 MT. Hawes said today that 200 fires have been reported since the first of the year. burning approxi- mately 5000 acres, three quarters of which was considered valuable for future use. The largest fire was in Doxbury early this month when 300 acres were burned.
 Reports indicate that all fires are caused by carelessness. the majori- ty of them starting between noon and 6 P. m. MT Hawes said that relatively few fires start in the eve ming because the dew sufficiently dampens the leaves and underbrush to arrest them.
 X common cause of forest fires was said to be the careless disposal of lighted cigarettes and cigars, and failure to properly cxtinguish camp fires started by mixers or au- tomobile parties. Although some fires are started by passing locomo- tives MT. Hawes said this cause was rapidly decreasing with the cooper alton of the railroad authorities.
 With the nine fire lookout stations one of which is located on tho Travellers Insurance Co. tower, and the additional equipment, Mir. Hawes said the seriousness of the forest fires in Connecticut is rapidly

RABBI ENTHUSES
 DRIVE HUSTLERS
Subscriptions of S22,S% Re portd-W Women Are Working

Have heart" That in brief was the gist of the address delivered by Rabbi Gershon Hadas at the lunch con Of committee chairmen and the kiwanis club in connection with tho United Community corporation drive TOT an amount ranging from s6a,- 452.96 to S7,000 today. The slo- gan. "s10.000 to get by, s77,0OO to make good" has been adopted for the 1928 campaign
 The result of today's drive brought the total fund up to Sc2,32G, or less than one third the amount needed. The chairmen of the campaign were much concerned at report that in certain sections of the city it was understood that women would not solicit this year and as result wo- men solicitors were not being given . welcome.
 President Maurice Stanley called attention to the fact that while the civic clubs have been asked to take over the responsibility of the drive. there are just as many women work ing as ever before. In fact he be-
  who worked last year are helping again this year.
 xS7 From Basketball Game
 The Lindy Junior Achievement club today turned over S20, which the club earned through the sale of 6 hand embroidered guilt. A total of sS7 was realized last evening at the basketball games in the Stanley Arena and the Junior Achievement leaders have agreed to turn over q check for slo0 tomorrow. This money will be credited tomorrow to the civic club having the highest report.
 The s1,652.5o reported today un- der the classification of public scrv- ice came from school teachers
 In his address to the workers, Rabbi Hadas said it ought not to be necessary to harangue and discuss an effort to raise mere $7o,00o in city the size of New Britain. "They tell me it is a bad year to get moncy.' he said, yet every time ] try to cross the street l am sur rounded by new cars. It seems we have money for gas and oil but with work like this there always seems to be argument.
 This is not charity. It is your work. Americans do not like en- tangling alliances with foreign coun- tries. but we cannot avoid entangliug alliances with our neighbors Whoth- CT you like it or not, when someone in your neighborhood gets sick, you and your family are affected.
 "Wc Jews and We Christians talk . lot about charity during holy week and before and after. but when it comes to actual giving. sometimes I am ashamed to sec how little people actually give. Have heart. If you give you will have ! heart. If you do not give, you will not have a heart"
 The meeting was opened by Elmer 1 ". Pape, president of the kiwanis ; club, who turned it over to Prcsi- dent Stanley.

HUGHES OFFERS
To STUMP FOR
HOOVER
~ 1nternational Newa servlee

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.Republi-
can Presidential campaign forces

lowing the cabled offer OF Charles
Evans Hughes to take the stump
for Herbert Hoover and the en-.
dorsament OF the Hoover candidacy
by Alfred p. Sloan, jr.. president
Of the General Motors Corpora
ton.
An itinerary will be arranged for
hughes. to include several adj

there is expected to be a wide radio
hool1up.
Hughes has been an important
figure In New York politics since
he was elected governor in 1907.
In his race for the Presidency In
1916 he carried the East, including
his own State.
Sloan's announcement OF his sup
port Of Hoover IS given added in
terest through the fact that Pierre
8. Dupont, chairman OF the board
of directors Of General Motors, and
John y. Raskob, who was financial
chairman Of the corporation. have
come out strongly for Governor
Smith, Rasl1ob now being Demo-
cratic National Chairman.
Sloan's statement follows In part:
'I am for Mr.. Hoover because
believe In him personally, his rec.
ord, his experience and what he
represents, also in the organization
behind him. History demonstrates
that this country has been more
generally prosperous under Repub-
Iican administration and as q re-
suit OF Republican policies.
I'VE have never been so prosper

ministration Of Mr.. Coolidge. am

plaintiffs remedy. This is technical
ly correct, for the remedy has been
made and sold in the name of defend
ant corporation. But for all practical
purposes in this case Weiss is the

means whereby he obtained it are
chargeable to the defendant corpora

the corporation, does not avail either

Irrigated. Plaintiff claims there was
some understanding that this issue
was deferred and was to be tried
later, if plaintiff was found entitled
to an injunction. The record here
does not show that the question of
