I guess. l don't care what happens to me as long as I can get someone to take care of Ruth"

 Living like this" for the Taylors means a continual round of factories and shops without result; their funds have long since dwindled and the rent was due. Taylor was a bakers assistant until two months ago when poor business forced his discharge.

72 Ton Whale
 Arrives Here Monday

The familiar cry of the Whaler, Thar she blows" can be sounded here Monday when the famous whale of San Clemente arrives in this city, 10 be placed on exhibition on the New Haven tracks at Elm street for a three day visit
 Captured only a few weeks ago near the island of San Clemente, off the southern California coast. the gigantic mammoth of the sea was embalmed and is now being taken on 6 transcontinental tour.
 The whale is more than 65 feet long and weighs - tons. It is be- ing transported on a specially de- signed car and is enclosed in a glass case. The curious spectacle is re- ported to have created intense inter- est at every point this far visited on the tour. with great throngs taking advantage of the opportunity to view the great carcass in detail at close range.
 Some idea of the size of the whale can be gained from the state ment that the heart. when removed in connection with the embalming process, was found to weigh close to 1,2S6 pounds. The tongue that rest ed between the gigantic jaws, weigh ed 600 pounds.
 Considerable scientific interest has been aroused by the San Clemente whale and the tour has revived dis cussion of many of the things about a whale that have challenged the curiosity of students of natyal his tory.
 Another point of mystery about the whale is the thick layer of fat, or blubber, that lies just beneath the skin. One theory is that the light weight oily tissue helps the whale to rise or sink at wall. Another idea is that the principal purpose of the fat layer is to protect the whale against the extreme cold of the water. especially in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.

 LATE FOR COURT
Driver Given Lecture by Chief
 Hart on Punctuality

In a two- minute session of the po- Stanley J. Traceski one continued case was to be presented, but was continued to Monday.
 Joseph Scata liked his bed better than the police court, and stayed there too long to appear in court. He is 1 8 and lives at S5 Wilbur ave- nue, Hartford. He was driving a truck loaded with vegetables on Thursday, and was arrested by Po- lice Officer David Doty, charged with overlooking. He asked llat his case be continued to today so that he could get an attorney, and this re- quest was granted.
 Attorney Leo V. Gaffney appeared in court and when SCata's case was caleld he peered about the court room and could not find his client.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Greenstein believed that Scata was free on his own recognizance, so no bond could be called and the case was continued to Monday.
 hlltl CouIL NdS ONtl anu JuuSt Traceski had left the building, Scata appeared in the police station. He was locked up and told to get a $50 bond for his appearance in court on Monday. Later Chief Hart, in look ing over the box containing bonds, found an envelope containing $50 cash and Scata's name was on the envelope. Sea ta was taken from the cell and Chief Hart gave him fatherly talking-to.
 You cannot stay in bed when you are asked to appear in any court. You must be here at S:GO Monday morning. That is not o'clock, but S:30. Will you be here?"
 "Uh, huh" replied Scata.
 Furthermore, continued the chief, you tell that big husky father of yours to let you toss the bags of potatoes 10 him instead of he tossing them to you. He has a big wide back and you are small and you might get a broken back
 "Uh, huh" replied Scata.
 Go and see your lawyer, MT. Gaffney. He wants to see you ad- yised the chief.
 "Uh, huh,' replied Scata.
