GAS PAINS ATTACK
 EDDIE REDFERN
Putin m Swimmer Battles Through to Finish 3S Sec
 onds Over Record
Unable to Account for Poor
 Condition

Gas pains as he nearcd the three quarter mile distance of his mile swim against time defeated Eddie Redfern of Park street in his at tempt to lower the New England junior record at Roseland lake last Sunday afternoon. A large gallery. including Eddie's father, Thomas Redfern of Broadbrook, and several members of the Broadbrok Athletic Club, were on hand to see the race. An official of the Worcester |. NJ. C. A. acted as timer and gave out the official time as 27 minutes 20 sec onds. The record is 26 minutes 42 seconds
 Before the race started there was some discussion over the distance markers It was about 3.45 o'clock when Redfern entered the water. He started out in fine form moving swiftly through the water against the wind with an American crawl stroke. After covering considerable dis tance he changed to a turgeon stroke. Gliding swiftly through the water at a record breaking pace Redfern turn cd at the half mile and started for the finish line with the wind at his back. With approximately three quarters of the distance behind him those lining the shore and crowding the warf saw the swimmer suddenly slow down his pace. He practically came to a stop. Then he proceeded on to the finish.
 Suffers Gas Pains
 When the boats that accompanied the swimmer reached the shore it be. came known that Redfern had been attacked with gas pains. It was only by herioc effort that he was able to finish. While not advancing any alibis Redfern is confident that he would have clipped of the necessary 3S seconds and then some and beat en the record had not the stomach weakness developed.
 Redfern is unable to account for his poor condition. In fact he felt fine when he entered the water and was unprepared for any physical at tack. He is still confident that he can beat the present record but says that he will not swim against time again this year. While he may enter some amateur races he is fat in his determination not to try again for the mile record in 1930
 As evidence of his condition Rcd fern was suffering from a stiff neck and sore throat, Tuesday morning, when interviewed by a Patriot re- porter He is unable to account for catching cold but feels that he was not in the good condition that he supposed when he prepared to lower the new England amateur record.

POLITICAL POT
 Is SIMMERING
No Real Interest Aroused as Yet in State and Town
 Elections
C. O. ?. Has Plenty of Material
 Talbot and Fox Expected to Run

The republican town committee held meeting. Monday evening, m the bar library. Court House block. The meeting was informal and no definite action was taken. In s<n- eral way the approaching campaign for state and town election was dis cusscd
 Little definite information is to be had at this early date as to candi- dates for representative. lt is un- derstood that there is plenty of ma terial in the republican ranks for seats in the House of Representatives at the session next year Among those mentioned are Leon T. Wilson, Walter N. King, Arthur Duvert, Arthur C. Keith. A. Macdonald Jr., and a number of others. None of the rumored possibilities have openly declared themselves. Mr. Wilson said Tuesday morning that he expects to be a candidate.
 With the success of two years ago in mind it k anticipated that the Democrats will wage strong cam paign. Leon Talbot. elected repre- sentative two years ago. says he is a candidate again this year and will repeat his strenuous campaign of two years ago. Otis Fox. Mir. Tal- bots colleague, is also expected to be a candidate.
 As far as can be learned there is little general interest in politics locally at this time. It Is bit early for the rank and file to become ac- lively curious as to who is seeking public office With the vacation sea son over after Labor Day it Is an- ticipated that the first skirmishcs will be planned
 Only Gates Mentioned
 Charles A. Gates has declared him self a candidate for reelection to the office of sheriff. In Putnam, the name of TO other republican candi- date has been mentioned. This is also true in the case of senator from the 2sth district Walter (. Brown of Ashford. Senator Brown has de clared himself a candidate for re- election and no other candidate has So far been mentioned in this end of the district.
 There is little talk of town cleo tion aside from the fact that there may be a contest again for the republican nomination for tax eol- lectOr.
 The last election was in q presi- dential year. Al Smiths name at the head of the democratic ticket was a great help to the minority party and for the first time in many years Put ,a,., s.satts daFnneraffa Haaad ou fhig success the democrats will without doubt wage an intensive campaign this year. In many years the party has failed to fill out it. entire ticket. It is rumored that leaders of the party will insist this year that in stead of picking out candidate for office here and there on the ticket, all nominations will be made at the caucus and real campaign waged to elect the chosen candidates.

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN

husbands death that convertible privi-
leges were expiring and one or two
stocks required replacing. The firm
that handled the husbands business
could not induce the widow to come to
any decision.
She knew nothing herself. knew of
none to trust, and was unwilling to
place implicit faith in her brokers. The
latter were torn between concern and
indignation. That is why the manager
pleaded with us to induce women to
become better informed about their
husbands investments.
The first thing to learn is the nature
OF your husbands holdings. You will
wish to know the issues he holds, con-
vertible privileges and their expiration
date and the maturities of bonds.
A duplicate list of all his holdings
should be in your hands in the event
OF an emergency in which you would
have to act for him. At any rate, hav-
ing acquired the information set forth
above, acquaint yourself with the issues
and the companies putting them out.
Follow their market prices from day
to day and scan the news daily for in
formation about the condition and
progress of both the companies and in
dustries in which they are engaged. II
you entertain any doubts about them,
inquire for more detailed information.
There is no reason why any woman
reading this daily should not be able
within reasonable time to handle in
vestments intelligently an, capably.
Whether or not your husband does the
actual buying or selling, keep an eye on
his transactions. Know what he is
doing and why. A great deal depends
upon the capable and understanding
handling of the family's investments.
More than one widow has learned that
ignorance in this instance means any,
thing but bliss. Learn in time.
