cut Foundrsmen's association.
 Mir. Trinder pointed out that the state trade school in Merlden has a
 foundry department that is flourish ing while ill Bridgeport. with better equipment, difficulty is found getting boys 10 take up this trade. He said this is due to the habit Ot boys to feel superior 10 the so-called dirty trades Ill which objection they often are upheld by their parents.
 He asked the aid Of the foundry men to help these boys have q bet ter vision of their future. He paid q tribute 10 Herman $. Hall, director of the New Britain trade school, and said there are certain trades which could be put into the New Britain school if this youthful intolerance could be overcome.
 He asked the foundrymen and the engineers to provide an opportunity for a further discussion Of methods to help the youth of New Britain. He was assured by Mr. Sickle that this would be done.
 Later Mir. Trinder told a Herald representative that one new trade which could be added to the New Britain school is a foundry depart ment. He said there are others which could also be added.
 Motion pictures and stereopticon slides showing progress in modern foundrles formed part of the address by IT. M. Lane, consulting engineer, of Detroit. Mir. Lane has designed many Of the automobile plant foun- dries in this country, France and England and is considered an out standing authority on foundry plants and equipment. Some time ago he read q paper before the national of the American Society ot Mechanical Engineers which re- v'aled 10 American foundries facts n core making they had never 1nown before. and was the beginning of a national research which vir- ually revolutioniZcd core making.

living when he dismembered her body
 Both defense and prosecution alienists kept their gaze fastened upon Hickman as Lucas, openly af- fected by his own words, described how Hickman told him of cutting off the arms and limbs of the child with q pocket knife.
 Lucas recital of the Hickman confession took more than an Kour After that the previously unpublisn- ed confession of the reasons for the crime was read.
 The reasons were listed:
 1. He feared that he was m danger of being trapped and d. though he believed that Marion had confidence in him, yet he was afraid that the little girl might suddenly distrust him and make an outcry that would lead to his arrest.
 file said he had been suffering from some kind of complex" for several years, the nature of which he was unable to definitely describe.
 He declared that he had been un- able to find any practical application of religion and had had a desire to kill.
 He said his complex probably bor- dered on insanity but that he did not believe that he was insane.
 In making this second confession Hickman declared that he did not attack Marion.
 The reading Of 63 dispositions, cb- aimed by the defense in the middle west. was completed late yesterday.
 The final deposition was from Capt. Charles Edwards, former chief of police of Kansas City and one time sponsor of Hickman, who 'efused to state officially whether it vas his opinion that Hickman was nsane.

 The entire floor is sectioned off into spaces where each exhibitor has his make and model placed for the inspection of the public. EverythinG is present to catch the eye with the predominance of tho motor cars a feature. The committee in charge of arrangements worked out the sec tioning of tho floor in nice propor- tions.
