well as any American league veteran
Then particularly purple egg, the kind
that seems to glow, plowed across the

his hands to catch it. Just as the egg
neared the youngster, it struck bit
of high turf and bounded into the air,
but still it held its course.
Everything would have been all right,
except this was one egg on which Mr..
Bunny Rabbit must have fallen down.
There was a peculiarly familiar fresh
sort of cracking. The little boy stared.
The egg was stuck fast to his thumb
and his thumb was inside! And that's
not all, for the inside of the egg which
the thumb SO thoroughly elected. was
splattered all over one of the prettiest

At that particular moment, Mr.. Hoo

offices, but he came out later and waved
at the children from the White House
portico.
Mrs. Hoover, who had hoped to
greet her little visitors, was not expected
on the portico. She has been suffering
from a strained back and has been
confined TO her room. The last word
from her was that she would lie out to
see the children if she possibly could.
Mrs. James j. Davis, wife of the Sec

Jane, Jean, Joan and Jewel, all in
jackets and dark blue pleated skirts,

the circle games led by the Girl Scouts

1t was IL o'clock when the formal
program began. The Girl Reserves of
the Young Women's Christian Asso-

dances and as they frolicked in the
wind little children watched shiyeringly
from their lofty perches on parental
shoulders while others stood hoveringly
in the front line with their Easter
basket clutched tightly and untouched.
The Girl Reserves ended their number
with the winding of the tallest of the
three Maypoles on the grounds.
Half an hour later the Friendship
House program was staged in the form
of dancing story. 1t was the tale of a
little boy who doubted that fairies really
existed, and who believed only when he
saw flowers, really fairies. of course

Then even later-at oclock-a group

TORONTO, April 21.-Provincial po-
lice and the attorney generals depart
ment have issued warning to liquor
exporters along the Windsor border to
empty and discontinue using liquor
storage warehouses.
At the border warehouses inspectors
found huge stocks of liquors awaiting
shipment across the st. Clair River.
This is in contravention of the liquor
control boards warning that shipments
of liquors should be made direct from
the railway box cars or trucks to the
holds of the boats. Otherwise the de-
partment takes the attitude that the
liquor is being held for some illegal pur-
pose.

Director Hoover has watched closely the
progress of the university's adventure in this
new field. 1t has been movement close to his
heart, for he has harbored the hope that
America would wake up and adopt the Euro

in the scientific police bureaus of Paris, Lon

expert long has been recognized abroad as an
indispensable factor in the investigation of

Uncle Sam has Jared forth in the

No longer looked upon merely as the popular

 The girl took the witness stand in her own defense but gave little in- formation to the court, although she signed a confession duplicating Mendez and Andrews, last night.

 Mrs. Barrows testified that she has been employed some of tho time since her husband left her, and she denied emphatically that Miss Morehead or anyone else has ever been in her home for unlawful pur- poses. Judge Sake said the evidence introduced against her was vague and he did not wish to pass on 1t until he learned more about her. He ordered her to post $500 bond for her appearance in court Saturday.

 HIN WATERBURY CASE
Judge Finds Ordinance Violates Law Guaranteeing Free Speech

Action of Judge John r, Me 1 Grath in Waterbury yesterday in throwing charges of unlawful street l speaking against Communists out of court, as announced in a dispatch in | the Herald, created much interest in legal circles in this city. where Com munists have been arrested under 1 similar charges, and where q sim liar ordinance to that invalidated in Waterbury and Meriden is in effect. Details of Judge McGrath's action indicate that the Waterbury judge concluded that the state supreme court had definitely settled the is sue in it's decision of 1921 and at other times that city or town or dinances giving authority to supcrin- tcndcnts or chiefs of police arbitrary power to give or refuse permits for outdoor speechmaking is unconstitu- tional.
 Judge McGrath, according to fur thcr information from Waterbury, announced that the previous find
 
 binding throughout the state and he declined to hear any of the cvi- dence by the police or prosecutor. The Waterbury ordinance, thus invalidated, is as follows:
 "No person or persons shall use l the streets. sidewalks, parks or public squares for the purpose Of i delivering orations or making speeches or other public demon i strations without first obtaining a permit from the superintendent of police.''
 Tho defense claimed that the or dinance was obviously ill violation of the bill of rights in that it gave the police superintendent unbridlcd
 discretion" The state constitution
 forbids city officials from saying who may or who may not receive T per init to speak, it was stated
 It was shown that the city or dnancc violates the 14th amend
 mcnt to the the United States con- stitution, and that it violates section
 of article 1 of the state constitu- ton, and also section of the same | article, "by comforting on the sll- i pcrintcndcnt of police a personal and arbitrary power to determine
 who may and who may not exercise right or privilege of free speech
 Section 1 of article 1 of the state
 constitution reads: All men when i the right or privilege of free speech, l in rights; and that no man. or set of men are entitled to exclusive public cmoluments or privileges from the community"
 Article Of the same section of | the state constitution reads: "EVcry citizen may freely speak, write and publish his sentiments on all sub 1 jccts, being responsible for the abuse 1 of that liberty"

Arrest Four COl0red Persons in
 Hartford Avenue House

Mrs. Marion Barrows, colored, of so Hartford avenue. denied in police court today that her house is re- sorted to for purposes of immortality and is disorderly place, but the state offered evidence which raised a doubt in the mind of Judge M. D.. Sake and he continued her case un- til Saturday for further investiga- ton. Mrs. Barrows is 2S years of age and her husband lives in California.
 Margaret Morehead, colored, of 227 North street, was sentenced 10 the state farm for women on the chrage of improper conduct, her mother requesting the court to send her away, and a fine of s35 and costs and suspended jail sentence of 30 days was imposed in the cases of Albert Mendez, colored, of S9 Hartford avenue, and Frank An drews, colored, of 17 Noble street, on the charge of improper conduct. Miss Morehead is 16, Mendez is 2S and Andrews is SS.
 Officer Louis E. Harper testified that he was detailed last evening to investigate complaint by the More head girls mother, who told him that Margaret came home witi, money Tuesday night and she sus- pected that she, had been in the company of men. especially as a girl friend of her daughter had told her of affairs she had seen in Mrs. Barrow's home.
 Sergeant J. C. Stadler joined Officer Harper in the investigation and the Morehead girl made admis- sions which led to the other arrests. To Sergeant Stadlcr she blamed her mother for breaking up an affair with q young man named Lewis, the effect of the parental interference being to inspire her with a spirit of recklessness, and the result was that she became intimate with men who gave her money. She told the ser geant, according to his testimony, that she was paid s3 by Andrews but lost s1.o5 almost immediately ill a "craps game at Mrs. Barrows' home.

 The fact that Peter StoCkbridge was q minister had nothing 10 do with his solution of the thefts.
 Peter made deductions like any veteran detective, because it was the natural thing 10 do.
 If the stolen silver never got out of the mining camp, where wLs it and how could it be hidden?
 Why was Jameson such q cranN on rifle and revolver practice? :? The days of Indian and thicvins GrcaSers were over.
 Peter thought that in the course of year q surprising amount Of lead was shot into the targets be cause from twenty 10 forty of tha boys enjoyed .hc shooting.
 Jameson, mill superintendent lot only provided new targets eacn Sunday, but he supplied all the ammunition.
 Why this generosity? Ammuni- ton is expensive.
 But suppose those bullets were silver instead Of lead?
 Peter went out 10 the rifle butts one night very late and dug up Tack of the new targets that had been set up a long affair with a dczen different styles Of pulls eyes" painted on it. He found quantities of the bullets and they did prove 70 be silver.
 Jameson. himself, was stealing silver, moulding it into bullets and putting them into the cartridges n place of the lead ones
