Lynn, Mass, April P>-Tino Novello, 17, who was found by the police liquor squad dispensing bot ties of liquor in the rcac of a house near Fremont and Pleasant streets, was fined S125 by Judge Ralph Reeve in district court today.
 Judge Reeve made the sentencing Of Novello the occasion for denounc- ing conditions in that part of the city and of the practice of oft-convictec bootleggers of hiring youths without police records to carry on their business.
 Novello refused to tell police who had employed him and the court said that in view of the boys atti- tude he would allow the youths financial packer to pay his fine.

 Men think of gravitation as point ing straight downward into the earth. They have it's constant pull to prove the direction. But in an electrified globe, such as Einstein uses in his new equations, these lines of electrical force, though as invisible as gravitation, likewise stand out parpendicularly.

1. The educational exhibit of the New Britain public schools opened today at the Senior High school With many parents present. In the Gathering were students of the New Britain State Normal school. The exhibit will continue tomorrow and Friday afternoon and night.
 :. One cannot really appreciate the exhibit in a visit of few minutes duration. It would take hours to 20 through the two spacious gymna- siums of the school and carefully inspect and appreciate the work of pupils from the lowest grades in the elementary schools to the last year in the Senior High school.
 Art work, penmanship, wood york, and everything that is includ- ed in the curriculum of the New Britain school system is represent ed in appropriate ways. The un- dernourished have an exhibit. The feeble- minded show work which they have done. Those pupils whose Eight is affected have special books exhibited that shows large type. F. Art Work Exceptional

 : One of the feature portraits was one drawn by Mary Danulevich Of the Smalley school. It is on the wall et one of the entrances.
 This noon school officials and members of the press dined in the model apartments and ate q lunch con prepared by students of the school under the direction of Mrs. Ina Beebe, supervisor of the home economies department.
 'Elihu Burritt Day.
 2 Pupils of the first grade at the Elihu Burritt school opened the program this afternoon. Under the title of First Grade Activities the younger children rendered de- .lightful exhibition.
 A carrousel was the first number on the program, showing the chil- ,dren forming merry-go-round. Next was a toy store, which was really demonstration of doll dresses and costumes made by the children themselves. The exhibition was put on in the form of play with each child demonstrating how its doll walked, talked and looked.
 Another delightful bit was the dramatization of Peter Rabbit while following this was the puppet show entitled "The Boy and the Goat" Then followed the big fea- lure Of this particular part of the program, when q little circus was given and the program came to q close with numbers by toy orchcs- s1ra.

HYDE PUSHES Plan
FOR CUT IN WHEAT
With Chairman of Farm
Board, Secretary Talks
to NebraSkans.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HASTINGS, Nehr., July s.-Nebraska
grain growers, dealers and business men
today had direct from Secretary Of Ag-
riculture Arthur Hyde and Alexander
Legge, chairman of the Federal Farm
Board, their suggestions for a reduction
OF wheat acreage down to point where
production would approximately equal
market demands.
Speaking here yesterday, the Govern
ments two chief agricultural spokesman,
who today carry their hard Winter
wheat acreage reduction campaign into
Colorado, urged the grain growers to
organize in order to better help them
selves solve their own problems.
Surplus Is Problem.
Declaring the present wheat surplus
was responsible for the current low
prices, both speakers held other coun-
tries had enacted tariff laws to prevent
dumping" in them of this country's
wheat surplus at a price lower than the
production cost.
Almost 1000 Nebraskans heard Sec
rotary Hyde and Chairman Legge'S
suggestions for acreage reduction. With
out recommending any such cut imme-
ulaCely, The carm boarQ chairman said
IS per cent reduction would put pro-
duction on domestic basis and give the
wheat growers full benefit of the accent
tariff.
FavOrs Land Purchase.
Secretary Hyde said he favored Gov
eminent purchase of more land for
reforestation purposes" He pointed out
that it would not do any good if one
farmer reduced his acreage and his
neighbor didn't, or If Nebraska farmers
did and those in Kansas did not He
said it was proposed, however, to organ
ize farmers of various States into CO.
operative agencies, which would be
affiliated with one national cooperative
in order that farmers could regulate
their own affairs.

CANNON PROTESTS
COUNT OF ALIENS
Says UnnaturaIized Aid VETS
in Congress, in Talk
Before Sailing.

Bishop James Cannon, jr. declared
yesterday that the exclusion of I'M
Iaturalized aliens from the count to be
ased in the reapportionment of the
country for congressional representation
Is the most important legislative propo-
sition before the Nation
The Southern Methodist leader issued
these views in statement on the pro-
hibition situation he prepared before
sailing last Sunday night for Madeira,
whence he will go to Brazil.
These unnaturalized Aliens" he said
care estimated to number 7,5o0,000 and
give to wet metropolitan centers about
80 congressman and 80 electoral votes.
Were they eliminated in the enumera-
ton, the basis of apportionment would
be correspondingly lowered and States
like Virginia, which now seem certain
to lose a Congressman, might retain
the present number.
There should be a prompt, sharp
drive TO get this resolution (the Stalker
resolution for submission of q conSti-
tutional amendment to achieve the alien
eXclusion) through Congress before
Christmas and then press 1t through
the State Legislatures during the Win
ter of 1881. The time is short, but by
persistent systematic work it can be
done"
The alien exclusion proposal arose
last year when Representative Hoch,
Republican, Kansas, secured its adop-
ton as an amendment to the census
and reapportionment measure.
This move met determined oppoSi-
ton of Representatives from the urban
centers, and Representative Tinkham.
Republican, Massachusetts,, succeeding
in having adopted also an amendment
excluding from the reapportionment
count all American citizens over d
who were not permitted to vote, striking
at Southern States in which the Negro
vote is curtailed.
Fearing these amendments would
Jeopardize enactment Of the census bill,
congressional leaders obtained a reor-
ganization of the section which resulted
in exclusion of both proposals.

PARCEL POST FARLEY
FOR U. S. AND CUBA LIKELY
Postmaster General Brown Ar
ranging Convention to Consider
Conditions Under New Tariff.

Plans calling for negotiations of a
parcel post convention with Cuba went
forward here today under the super
vision of Postmaster General Brown.
The Postmaster General said the
action was precipitated by the fact that
the new tariff act removed limitations
prohibiting importation of shipments of
Cuban cigars in lots of less than 5000.
This clause was stumbling block for
many years in the path of a successful
parcel post convention with Cuba
whereby packages would be exchanged
in the same manner as first-class mail
The undesirable clause was eliminated
from the new bill at the insistence of
the Postmaster General. He forwarded
several briefs to Congress outlining his
position.
Brown aid he believed a plan could
be worked out where the exporter of
cigars could pay the levieS at the time
the packages were mailed, through the
use Of stamps, thus assuring speedy
transmission to the United States.

National Legislation Committee

nounced today that World War veterans
entitled to benefits under the new pen

want the disability allowance.
The bureau, he said, has prepared a
form for these applications which, when
filled out, may be sent directly to the
Veterans Bureau or forwarded through
the veterans organization.
Bethlehem said an impression was
current that veterans who previously
had applied for compensation and had
been turned down might consider the
earlier applications SUFFICIENT. This is
not the case, he said, and compensation
granted will date from the day Of ap-
plication.
