the old Romans, who were the greatest
traders and the best farmers the world

Endorsed the, annual Buddy poppy drive
as worthy enterprise"
Prior to the pinning of the poppy on
his coat the President gave Comdr.
Carver the following Endorsement: THE
annual Buddy poppy campaign under
the auspices Of the Veterans Of Foreign
Wars Is fitting symbol Of the sacrifice
OF those who died in the service of our
country and should remind us of the
obligations and sacrifice demanded of
all good citizens in time OF peace.
1.-THE fact that the manufacture of
these peoples gives employment to dis
abled ex-service men In the hospitals
and elsewhere adds to the worthiness
of the cause. I am glad to give my
hearty Endorsement to this worthy
cause"
Comdr. Carver also told Mr.. Hoover

it sets up no standards for the CO.

Prosecuting Attorney Woods asked him if it was not so that there would have been no trouble had he given his wife half the bed, and he re- piled that he did not realize that he was in the middle of the bed, Since the furniture was moved about recently, he did not know which was his side and which was not.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods held the knife and with Stewart, put on a demonstration of the manner in which 1t was used, but not until Stewart had exacted a promise from MT. Woods that he would not strike him with it.
 Attorney Lacey contended that Stewart was entitled to a discharge, as there had been no public dis turbance. merely domestic row, hut Judge Traceski said he was con- vinced that Stewart was the trouble maker in the househaid.

Hartford, Feb. 19.-The civic and mercantile sides of New Britain life will be we'll represented at . meet ing of the judiciary committee of the general assembly. March 12. when a proposal to establish a small claims court in that city will be heard.
 The proposition came to the leg islature in the form of a bill intro- duced by Representative Thure Bengstone.

GRAND THEA1,ER, Hartford

Mutual Burlesque, Mite Life in Paris" opened yesterday in the New Grand theater and scored a decided hit. For light entertainment it would be difficult to concoct . more de- lightful offering. Clever comedians. youthful and attractive girls in sat- isfying quantities and pretentious backgrounds all contribute to the general enjoyment found in this pro- duction.
 Nile. Lavilla Nave. easily carries off the honors, being an attractive girl with 8 pert French way about her that seems natural. Her physi- cal proportions are well nigh pedfect and one can easily agree with the critic who describes her as billion dollar beauty. In comic situations Charles (Tramp) McNally held the limelight. McNally is a past master in the art of laugh and kept yesterdays audiences in high humor.
 Assisting the two principals are Mary Lee Tucker, Jack Wright, Jo- seph DelanO, Jack Gordon, Zella Stevens and IS chorines who are easy to look upon and quite talent ed. Specially numbers by The Ro- letta Boys. who offer skit that is both different and amusing, and Doris Nirdlinger. who is billed as 'the worlds best Juvenile Enter- tainer," were received with sus- tained applause.
 The night life of the gay boule- ~ardier and Apache haunts are shown with true authenticity and the sparkling wit that abounds in the piece sets it above the average. Mite Life in Paris" will be present. ed twice daily for the remainder of the week at this playhouse.

 The bill has been favorably re- ported to the full committee by the subcommittee designated to consid- CT 1t. and Congressman Merritt has been assured of it's early submittal to the full house by the full com- mittee.
 According to Mir. Merritt, the gov ernment paid Connecticut $t1S,0Go- .29 during the period 1s13-1S3S. but did not repay all the amounts which the state borrowed from banks to help carry on the war. and failed to pay the interest on these sums.

daughter. the fight was crowded with action while it lasted.
 Officer Eugene Kieffer testified that he was detailed to investigate complaint to Lieutenant Bamforth about S:25 o'clock by a son of the quarreling couple and on arriving with Officer John w. Riley. found Mrs. Stewart in the house, Stewart having run out holding onto his bleeding hand just as the officers arrived. Lillian came in a little later and after listening to the stories of the three, the officer arrested Stew art and summoned the others as witnesses.
 Pulls Covers on Bed
 Mrs. Stewart testified that her husband was asleep in such a posi- tion that there was not sufficient room for her to get into bed. She called to him to push over," and when he did not move. she pulled the covers off him to show him how little room he was leaving her. Still. he would not budge, so she pulled off the covers. intending to take them into another room and leave him shivering. but the move heated him almost to the burning point instead of cooling him off and he chased her, skipping her face and choking her when he caught her.
 Get me the stick" she called to Lillian and Lillian obeyed. Mrs. Stewart wielded it with telling effect, striking her husband on the shoulder and across the head and sinking her teeth into his arm. Lillian, who was in the kitchen with her brother when the trouble started. ran to the bed room and called on her father to stop hitting my mamma" but he continued wrestling. in the lan- guage of the little girl, until she seized q knife off the stove and threatened to use it on him. He held Mrs. Stewart with one hand and reached for the knife with the other, according to his wife and daughter, the wound being inflicted when he took hold of the blade.
 15 Years of Abuse
 Questioned cs to his condition. Mrs. Stewart said she could not tell when he was drunk. He drinks heavily, she said, and his actions about the house are unbearable. He even disrobes in the presence of Lil- Han. Mrs. Stewart declared, sobbing on the stand. and for 15 years he has been abusive and inconsiderate of others. Prior to his arrest for non-support recently he was idle as much as he was employed.
 After Lillian had told her story. crying as she testified, Stewart was called to the stand by his counsel, Attorney J. Robert Lacey. He testi- fled that he was not feeling well yesterday and retired shortly after o'clock after having had a nap from II a. m.. to D. m. He was sound asleep when he felt his wife pulling the covers off the bed and heard her ordering him to move over" He thought the house was on fire, as there was a bad fire about two weeks ago in the store in the same building. but as soon as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes he realized that his wife vas trying to rob him of the bed clothes. and his first i'm pulse was 10 fight for them.
