MISS NCLATzKI
 IN SONG RECITAL
Presented Artistic Program of Songs Last Night at
 WOmen's Club
WIDE RANGE OF SONGS

Miss Ethel Caghans Ziglatzki, lyric soprano, presented an artistic program of songs last evening at the Waterbury Womens club auditor ium. An appreciative audience was present to hear Miss ZiglatZki in most pleasing variety of songs, in- cluding selections in Italian, Eng fish, German, and French. The pro- gram was nicely balanced and the artist sang with care and style. Dur ing her program Miss Ziglatzki was presented with two fashioned bouquests. Mrs Robin ogden, pian- ist, very capably accompanied her.
 Miss Ziglatzkis first three num- bers, in Italian. were "Separazione" by Sgambati, "Girometta" by Sibel- la, and Minis song from Puccinrs opera La Boheme," Mi chiamano Mimi" The singer achieved nice effects in these numbers, lightness and delicacy of tone in the second, and a deeper tone quality in her Puccini. Color and richness of tone were noticeable in Miss Ziglat- zkfs medium register. She followed these songs with one Schumann and two Schubert songs, "The Nut-tree,'
 "The Trout" with it's rippling piano accompaniment, and ''Who Is Syl- via?" These songs with the three in the next group are songs of real beauty and greatly favored by music lovers. In the singing of theme Miss Ziglatzki did some especially nice work. Brahms "Vergebliches Staen- shen," "Sonntag," also by Brahms, and Liszt's Die Lorelei' were of particular appeal.
 Micaela's air from Bizet's opera, Carmen "Je dis que rien ne m'epouvante," a very beautiful number, was next sung. Then fol- lowed a County Antrim song, "A Ballynure Ballad" and two songs by Grieg, "The Princess and 'I Love Thee" Miss Ziglatzki seemed to catch the mood of the composer in these as in her other selections. In her last group Miss Ziglatzki presented a variety of songs that she sang with unusually good style and interpretation. The first was a request number, Farley's ''The Night wind.' Cyril Scott's beautiful 'Lul- laby," Bantock's Feast of Lam terns," Powelrs "To a Butterfly" and Clokeys difficult piece "Thc Cat -bird' concluded the program of attractive numbers.
 The singer received applause af- ter each of her groups, and at the close of the program gave two en- core numbers, "The Cuckoo and Specially Jim."

Investigation was started today
by county commissioners into
charges that Lawrence township

ing poor relief supplies, the prices
Of which he helps fix as a member
of that board.
Commissioner George Snider de-
clared: 1--WE will go to the source
of reports that George Herr, ad-
visory board member and Castle
ton grocer, is providing groceries,
meats. and clothing to families in
violation of the law prohibiting any
township official from supplying any
materials to his governmental unit.
Henry T. Van Cleave, Lawrence
township trustee, has admitted the
charges are true, but said, Il never
thought of the law when Herr was
given permission to sell groceries"
1t also was revealed by Van
Cleave that j. T. Plummer, a Law
renee grocer, and brother of Carl
Plummer, advisory board member,
has a contract to provide poor re-
lief supplies.
Herr said he was furnishing gro
cerieS because other Castleton gro
GERS turned down the contract. This
was denied by AlonZo Johnson and
Thomas Helm of Castleton, who de-
clared I'VE never have refused to
supply relief orders"
Since Jan. l, records reveal. Herr
has filed poor relief claims with the
county totaling $273.4O. The entire
township poor relief bill for one
year does not exceed $1,000, it is
said.
Van Cleave said he would hold
a conference with Herr to clear the
situation.
Van Cleave came to me in April
and told me that if I wanted to
get any of the poor relief business,
I would have to see Herr" johnson
said.

LAW VIOLATION In
POOR AID CHARGED

By Science Service

by science ScTClCe
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. =
After forty years of study and
observation, Henry w. Fowler,
curator of fish and reptiles at
the Philadelphia Academy of
Natural Sciences, states that
loud talking does not disturb
fish, and that the old idea that
one must keep still while fish
ing is without scientific foun-
dalton.
What really drives the fish
off, says Fowler, is unusual,
moving shadows upon the sur
face Of the water.
Fish have keen eyes, and
moving shadows cause them to
flee or seek protection in the
depths. What really happens
is that people who talk and
shout also move about. Fowler
has also observed that the
black plume Of smoke issuing
from the funnel of an oil
burner will cast shadows that
will cause fish to go far below
the surface.

Prohibition will be one of the

This is the judgment of Richard
Scandrett, prominent New York
lawyer, treasurer of the Republican
party in that city, and a nephew
of Senator Dwight Morrow of New
Jersey.
Mr.. Scandrett and his wife
stopped off in Indianapolis on
Wednesday night on their return
from tour of the country in their
private Bellanca airplane, in which
they visited many states. They were
forced by rain to stop at Versailles
and finished the trip by train.
1.-THE prohibition laws and the re-
sulting gangdom, disrespect for
courts, contempt for authority. the
placing of vast fortunes in the
hands of criminals, are doing more
to create a favorable soil for the
seeds of Communism than all the
propaganda that could be sent from
Moscow" continued Mr.. Scandrett.
THE question later may be one of
saving our country itself.

Industrial problems easily were it not
