 Most of the boys he knew had gone to work in the mills, but the drudgery of factory life had no ap- peal for -him. He wanted, to con- tinue his schooling and be some body.
 The modest wages of his father, Joseph Swiatek, 43, were not suf ficient to make this possible. So Walter set about to finance his own education. Odd jobs brought in a bit of money and this was augment ed by the sale of old metal that he picked up at the city's dumps.

SENATE BEAUTY PARL0R
 FIGHT WON BY WOMEN
Employes of Offices Win Point and Get Salon for Facials and
 Hair Dressing.

Washington, Sept. 26 P1In an unobtrusive corner of the senate of fee building a full f1edged beauty parlor today is open for business. It is not there in anticipation of great influx of women senators, nor has it been brought about by any softening of the rugged statesmen who occupy the building.
 Two hundred women employees of the senatorial offices waged a lengthy battle to have it added to the buildings equipment.
 The winning argument was a claim of added efficiency for the women clerks, who assert they now can save for work the time former ly spent in going downtown for needed facials. As a condition to its existence the beauty shop must be self sustaining, adding no burden to the taxpayers.

Mother and Two Other Children
 Taken to Hospital
VICTIM FIVE YEARS OLD
Harold Gagner's Ailment, Diagnosed 4 As Cholera Infantum, Now Ap- pears Puzzling-Boy Reported to Have Eaten Green Apples.
Special to the Herald)

Bristol, Sept. 26.-Victims, of a malady which physicians have not yet definitely diagnosed, Harold Gagner, 5. is dead, and his mother, Mrs. Emil Gagner, and two more of her children are confined to the Bristol hospital today with chances favorable for their recovery, ac-, cording to hospital officials.
 Harold died in the hospital early last night from an ailment diagnosed as cholera infantum. It was in dicated today that the illness of the mother and two children may lead to a reconsideration of the cause of death of the five year old boy. Re ports were that the boy had eaten green apples. After the mother and the other two children showed symptoms of digestive disorder, however, physicians were at a loss to upIGTllllLe the CduSG Ol lIo dll- ment. They pointed out that the stomach ache usually following the eating of green apples was lacking in the case of Mrs. Gagner and her two children. They did admit, how ever, that food poisoning might have been responsible for the con- dition although no definite decision was made concerning the cause of the attack.
 The two children who were taken to the hospital with their mother this morning are Georgette, aged about three years, and Percy, aged 20 months
 Before the mother was stricken plans had been made to hold funer- al services for Harold at ? o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the home at 15 West street with burial in St. Joseph's new cemetery. Whether these arrangements will be changed because of the illness of the other members of the family could not be learned today.
