Groman Forfeits Bond,
 Breaks Pledge to Wife

Frank Groman of New Haven. who promised in police court few weeks ago that he would provide . home for his wife in New Haven if she would live with him, to which she agreed, has not kept the promise. it was said in police court today by Probation Officer E. c. Connolly, and a &300 bond was declared forfeited. Groman will be arrested and brought into court for non-support. Assist ant Prosecuting Attorney w. M. Greenstein said.
 MT. Connolly had . letter which Groman's wife turned over to him but nobody in court could rantate it. Mrs. Groman said her husband wrote that he was leaving the coun- try May 2e. He and his wife have been separated for some time, she living in New Britain while he lives in New Haven.

Doris Nelson of S4 Chapman street. gets the dollar for guessing the silhouette of Frank Vibberts of the New Britain Trust Go. and of the Burritt Mutual Savings bank. The editor is sorry that she didn't mention that five per cent interest now being dished out to the deposi- tors of the Burritt. but he's going to put over the idea by telling Miss Nelson that if she promises to put the money in the Burritt Savings bank it will be $5 instead of one. Maybe she has an account there, but that goes just the same, if she will put the money in that bank.
 Here's the prize winning letter:
 In Wednesdays Herald we rec ognized a very popular and most es- teemed citizen, Mir. Frank G. Vib- berts of Sunnyledge. He has achieved great success as a banker, and is connected with the Burritt Mutual Savings bank and also the New Britain Trust Co.
 Who is the dapper young man to- night? The last time the editor saw him he was wearing a straw hat in- stead of a derby but that doesn't make an awful lot of difference. The editor could guy him all night and he wouldn't get angry, for his business is going ahead at great clip and well it might, for you can get some awfully nice things there. You can drop in anytime and get a free cigarette, all lit and every thing, if you run low on tobacco money. It's hard to inform him on anything from a style standpoint, but the editor went to sleep in his clothes last night. so he dropped in there (not to get a cigarette) this A. M. and showed him all the latest wrinkles. Now if you can't guess him, ring for Louis. he'll know him. if that hint will suit you better. If the shoe fits you, put it on.

Opposes Threatening
 To Discipline Child

Fear is the worst enemy of men, tai hygiene" stated Miss Hester Crutcher of New Haven, executive secretary of the Connecticut society of Mental Hygiene. speaking to the Mothers club of the NJ. E. church last evening. She cautioned mothers not to use fear as a method Of discipline as it inhibits and handi- caps.
 Miss Critcher said that a child feels the lack of security when its mother threatens and neglects to carry it out and at another time threatens and does carry it out. Wrong training leads to fear of in- adequacy that troubles many an adult.

BEARS IN CONTROL
 OF CURB TRADING
Send Utilities Stocks Upward
 and Market Rises Irregularly

New York, Aug. 30 P>-Revival of aggressive operations for the ad- vance in the utilities sent curl market stocks irreguarly higher to- day. Pre-holiday selling was again in evidence, however, and depressed 6. sprinkling of issues. The in crease in brokers loans appeared to have been practically ignored, as the prospect of call money getting nc higher than 9 per cent over the month-end was regarded as attest ing comparatively fairly stable credit conditions.
 The utilities decisively broke out of the narrow trading range in which they have been moving for several days, under the leadership of Electric Bond and share, which mounted several points to new high ground, to the accompaniment of unconfirmed rumors of negotiations for an important alignment with American superpower. which was also in good demand.
 American Light and Pawer. Ameri- can Gas and Electric, Consolidated Gas of Baltimore. United Gas 1m- provement, 1nsull Utility investments St. Regis, and American and foreign power warrants were among other issues to move forward in emphatic manner. Standard Light and Power was again strong, on reports of ab- sorption by Standard Gas and Flee tric. The persistent downturn in Allied Light and Power appeared to have been checked, as that issue ral- lied moderately.
 Industrials were irregular. Alum mum Co. was again buoyant, soar ing more than 10 points, and Stand ard Brands was strong, in buying preliminary 10 its transfer to the "big board" Dubiier condenser was again under accumulation. A weak feature of the specialties was Maryland Casualty, which tumbled more than 10 points.
 Oils were in fair demand, in re- sponse to optimistic predictions as to the effects of the California conser- vation law, which becomes effective next week, but price movements were narrow.

With some of the gilt edge investment securities getting behind plus signs. The foreign list was dull and irregularly lower while the United States government obligations were steady.
 Money was unchanged and the large increase in brokers loans seemed to be offset by the favorable sentiment created by the peaceful conference.

Canadian National Railway 4 1as ad- vanced more than a point and Chi cago S Great Western As were strong. Union Pacific As were in clincd to heoviness.
