The Once Over



We've had an awful lot Of rain
With cloudbursts by the score;,
And Evrybody's sore.
But now there is a patch Of blue
Above the earth again.
And so I think that we are due
For-frankly s~peaking-RATNi
Day In. day out it's poured and poured
From early morning till night;
Earth by the sun has been ignored
And left a soggy sight:
But now the wind has changed q Bit
The fog is on the wane:
And so I'm very certain It
Means we win HAVE SOME RAIN
The garden Is q mucky mess:
My lawn Is all a-swish:
It's rained so much I must confess
] feel like just a fish.
But now the skyes are brighter and
The wind has ceased to roar
So I'm ACCOMPLISHMENTS
That 1t will LAIN SOME MORE!
No spot I know offs wholly dry:
The yards a soaking bog:
Would like to be a frog:
But now the weather forecast. en-.
Predicts: Tomorrow fair
And 50 I positively know
@A~ASo IN61N IN lHE AIN
The storm that came from Tennessee
Has gone the other way:
The northeast storm has gone to sea"
The weather experts say:
Tomorrow will be clear and grand.
So says the weather vane-
And SO grab my rubbers and

CITY LIBERAL WITH
 RECREATION FUNDS
Spends S1.S2 Per Capita, h.
 cIuding Parks Appropriation

The city of New Britain pays more per capita for the recreation of its citizens than most cities in the United States according to an analysis of costs by City Treasurer Curtis l.. Sheldon today.
 Since the city is spending a great deal of money to foster recreation in parks. this appropriation must be included in the figures as well as the appropriation for tho municipal recreation commission. For the parks total of s100Oo0 was appropriated this year and for the municipal recreation commission sS,50O. This total, s1OS. 800 divided by the esti- mated population SS2,o0O shows S1.S2 per capita.
 If the park appropriation were disregarded the per capita costs figured on the recreation cOmmis- sion's appropriation alone would be 10 cents.
 According 10 figures contained In the Year Book of the Playground and Recreation Association of America. which was recently pub lished, the expenditure for recreation is small in most cities in the United States in com parison with the costs of luXuries. A conservative estimate for chewing gum and soft drinks is Sl9 per capita and for tobacco $14 1.

 The same source indicated the second operation, will be performed about September 10. instead Of late in August as was expected. The de lay is due to a desire of the physi- clans to permit him to build up as much strength as possible before the ordeal.
 The former premier was described as employing his enforced leisure to a useful purpose. doing much reading of newspapers and books and even devoting some time to writing. He has had no fever th.. last few days and has been able to eat normally
 The interdction on visitors has been described as a matter of prin- ciple, since NJ. Poincare has so many friends who are anxious to visit him that so many visits would

ITALIAN LAB0RER
 LEADS IN TOURNEY
Rank Outsider Leads Field Of
 Municipal Aces in Play

Forest Park, St. Louis, Aug. 'PJ A little Italian day laborer from Brooklyn, N. Y. Frank Fabrizio. was perched in the whip seat as the she final IS hole drive for medali>t honors opened at the eighth nation- al public links golf championship at Forest Park today.
 Coming to the tournament as a rank outsider known only in his inn mediate neighborhood, Fabriz'o gained his advantage yesterday by humping par and a record smashing field of municipal aces. He byeezo1 around the rain-soaked course in exactly 70 strokes. two under par and the closest rival he had along his 40 opponents was Connell Ke; = sey. q IT year old youth from Louisville. Ky.
 Tn accomplishing his feat, he gave one of the rarest exhibitions of put ting seen in any tournament. Only twice did he two putt a green and on the rest he sank the pelletts wi: one putt. Considering the poor con ditions Of the greens, his puttin:; was all the more remarkable and probably the best to be turned in at any tournament.
 Fabrizio, who is 21. was determin- cd to prove his score was no luke by matching it today and taking the medalist title. It is the first time he has ever had time enough off for his labors to enter the tournament.
 While the drenched condition Of the championship course stopped many good golfers yesterday scores for the initial IS hole round were low enough to indicate a i5S would be required for 56 holes to qualify for the bracket of 32 who will compete by match play for the title starting tomorrow and ending Saturday. Thirty ended the first round with better than so and all the favorites, including Karl kaufmann of Pitts burgh who has worn the crown for the past two years, appeared cer- tain of qualifying.

Her eyesight is slightly impair ed and her step is not as firm as it has been but she still takes an active interest in the current events of the world.
 There is no person in the vicinity more interested than this quiet' whitehaired kindly woman in the flight of the Graf Zeppelin across the Atlantic and in the proposed flight around the world. At the age or lf' she came to this country from Eng land, not in a majestic air iiner' put in slow and uncertain sailing boat. \nd today she still remembers 1he hrills and the hardships of that ovaee.

Mrs. Hague is very fond of rid ing, the weather and the length of the ride making little difference to her.
 Last year she went to Tarriffville, where she visited the house in which she first made her home upon com- ing to this country. It was here that her father started a silverware shop. which was closed when the Roger Plating Co. of Meriden brought suit against her father over some pat ents. After long series of court trials the suit was decided in the favor Of her father, but the business was not reopcned.
