 The room was spinning around Rose-round and round.

 I'm sorry to hear it."
 Are you telling me that-that my mother was this Mrs. Muir?"
 T fear that I cannot assure you even of that"
 "But-but you say definitely that I'm not-not-'
 Most definitely you are not"
 But all this about ages and years and things Rose heard her voice rising to hysteria and tried to steady it-"all this about me being twenty-one, when I ought to be twenty-three-you knew 1t from the first, didn't you? You were told my age when you took me from the orphanage? No one ever de- ceived you?p
 NO. No. No. That is not the point, my poor Rose. (Muirs child, by the way. was christened Gla- dys). It is only lately that a re- liable account of Conaldine's life has come into my hands"
 But you were Investigating for months and months" shrilled Rose Why. I was twenty-one last Oc- tober and it's only a couple ol weeks ago that you said that my identity had been-been satisfac- torily established and by that time I'd got so sick of waiting and not knowing the first thing about who I was that l."
 That you-?"
 T went to a private detective, said Rose furiously, and asked hin to find out all about me-
 T am afraid" said Mir. Perl' gravely, that that will be looked upon as a proof that you could no have had a genuine belief in beinl Rose Conaldine."
 Looked upon by who?' By the law" said MT. Perle.
 Rose stared at him.

 "We?" repeated Rose.
 T have no doubt" cooed MT. Perle, that if you decide that your moral judgment allows you to re- main in possession of the-ah- identity of Rose Conaldine, you would agree to refund me the heavy expenditure of your early years. l -"
 How much is that?"
 T should say" and MT Perle's tones became almost incredibly musical-"I should say that twenty thousand a year for-shall we say, twelve years?-would cover it. Does that policy commend itself to you, Rose?"
 "Yes," she answered.
 She had not meant to agree. Not, at any rate, without argument, for she knew well enough that this sleek man was a sWindler and liar and a fraud.
 And then, as inexplicably as she had said "yes" she was now saying other things.

PROHIBITION FACES
 FURTHER ATTACKS
Efforts to Be Made to Get High
 Court Rulings

Washington, Sept. R-Al- though attacks on the basic prohibi- tion law are absent so far from among the cases to be taken up this fall by the supreme court, two separate efforts will be made to have the Jones five and ten" law set aside as unconstitutional.
 A case brought from West Vir- ginia seeks the courts reconsidera- ton of last terms refusal to pass on the Jones laws constitutionality. The action is brought on the ground that the penalty carried in the law is harsh and unusual. A pair of cases from St. Joseph, Missouri, con- tends the Jones act delegates legis- lative authority illegally by grant ing trial judges discretion in deter mining the sentences to be imposed.
 Court Opposes Effort
 The highest tribunal, on its in- depreciation of the intention of the people in adopting the constitution al amendment to make the country dry, has presented uncompromlslng OppOSlllOll u dIi a'ICiiPe7 " .'AA the Volstead act, and seemingly has discouraged anything like con- creted attack on it.
 Among pending prohibition cases however, are two of alleged illegal search and seizure. one from Penn sylvania and the other from Texas: In the former it is asserted federal prohibition agents unlawfully acted under a state search warrant, and in the latter that they acted without any warrant.
 Seeks Two Convictions
 The government, seeking to pros ecute some sellers of illicit liquorl under both the prohibition and in ternal revenue laws, has brought case from New Orleans, Louisiana, to obtain a ruling. It is also hope ful that pending cases will bring ruling on what constitutes petty of- ! lenses which can be tried without a iurv, as recommended for minor | prohibition cases
 The rights of the government to sell 8, distillery under the internal revenue law after its owners were convicted under the prohibition law has been challenged in cases from 1 Waterloo, New York.

 BARBECUE GUESTS
Enjoy Al Fresco Dinner il
 Woods Near BarneSdale

Members of the New Britain Ro- tary club sat at a rustic table ts- day to eat their weekly lunch.
 Instead of a hotel luncheon the Rotarians today enjoyed a barbe- cue. They travelled to a point op- posite Barnesdale, thence to the north through several miles of pic turesque woodland and partook of Howard T. Sherman's first annual sheep bake to the Rotary club while they sang For he's a jolly good fellow in honor of their host
 Baked sheep and corn, baked sweet potatoes, coffee and hot rolls in unlimited quantities topped off by generous scoops of vanilla ice cream served in halved golden cantaloupes, formed the menu.
 Henry Washburn, president of the club. made a few announce ments, which constituted the only speech. The announcements were made between snatches of popular songs and mandolin music by two young men from Ben Parker's or chestra.
 Using smooth rock for a piano stool and a. folding melodeon for piano, Mir. Parker played For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" while "Bob,' Graves, song leader of the club, lead the Rotarians in a rousing song in honor of the host :.
 Following the dinner the guests enjoyed scenic drive through the woods and a visit to the sherman stone quarry.

Most Ambitious Plan

Foreign Minister Briand's concep- ton of his United States of Europe" or European Federal Union, plan is the most ambitious in- ternational project brought forward In Europe since the establishment of the League of Nations. @
 As outlined in his memorandum of May IT to the 26 nations con- cerned with France in the plan, the union specially envisages close eco- homie cooperation among the sub- scribing nations, lowering and reg ulatipg of customs duties, and coop eration for preserving peace. .....
 The economic aspect of the plan is that chiefly emphasized in discus sion hitherto. .... --
 M.' Briand pointed out that new economic problems had arisen since the World War from addition Of about 12,000 miles of international frontiers to the map of Europe For this reason, he foresaw necessity for a pact of general order, however elementary, for the affirmation of the principle of a moral union of Europe and solemn consecration of the fact of solidarity between Eu- ropean nations" ..t
 Ties Far Looser
 The federation, in which it was specified that more of. the nations should yield it's sovereignty, is far looser in it's ties than is the United States of America, to- which, it is sometimes compared. e The most concrete form of union suggested by M. Briand is species of regular conferences, meeting without. charter or constitution.
 To carry on the unions work two organizations will be created. European conference" and "Eu- ropean committee" The first would be a deliberative body, to study problems rising among European states, and the second an executive instrument.
 M. Briand specifically repudiated the suggestion that the United States of Europe" was aimed against or opposed to, the United States of America"

which met at 10:30.
 The text of the platform follows:
 The democratic party of the state of Connecticut in convention assembled calls attention to the long continued and widespread industrial depression, unemployment, business stagnation. decline in foreign and domestic trade, increased commer- clal bankruptcies. agricultural ruin, the f1dttened prices of labor, com- modities and securities at a peviod when every branch and department of the federal government is and has been under the complete con- trol of the republican party.
 Since the republican party has taken credit for the period of pros- perity in the past it must logically and with equal consistency assume the responsibility for the existing complete collapse which charac- terizes all branches Of business.
 State Hard Hit
 Connecticut as a~ industrial state has been grievously attccted by these conditions. The resulting condition of unemployment has never been paralleled in the history of the state. Although called upon by the president of the United States to initiate such additional public works as might assist in af- fording relief to the unemployed, the republican party. in full control of every branch of the state gov- ernment, has failed utterly to re- spond to this call
