little Carolina boys whim, on be-
ing forced by divorce 10 choose be-
tween his parents, has been inter-
preted in music by a New Orleans
housewife and the song promises to
be one of the popular hits of the
year.
The childish author of the phrase
when the leaves are turning
brown in Carolina" has been lost
in his obscurity, His expression
however, will go to the hearts OF
millions in the next few months in
the form of radio selections and
sheet music. The song already has
been broadcast over the NBC chain
pronounced one of the best popular
tunes of the year, and is being COLI
sidered for the theme of a talking
picture by Warner Brothers.
Mrs. jeanette Conrad Tucker, ol
New Orleans, has received a check
for advance royalties from a New
York publisher, who estimated her
net return would amount to be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
Mrs Tucker memori2ed and COM

her housework. She was inspired

about the little Carolina boy whose

states concerned.
The meeting will be to arrange
for emergency measures to provide
winter feed for the livestock in the
drought-stricken West The con-
ference will not displace the western
governors conference. but will
probably develop problems which
will be considered at that confer
ence.
The chief object of the meeting
win be TO arrange methods whereby
feed and stock can be brought to-
gether and to arrange financial
assistance for the stocknen.
Agriculturists from many sections
Of the west have informed Cover
nor Dern that unless feed was pro-
vided for the winter months many
stockmen would be faced with the
problem of selling their entire herds
or letting them starve on barren
ranges. The problem of finances
is considered serious by many, since

There was very little evidence of holiday spirits" entering into Wa terbury's observance yesterday of Labor day. As matter of fact the celebration goes down on the police blotter as about the quiet est the city has ever experienced.

 Toured Ireland, England and Scotland
LIKED THE PEOPLE

Carrying tiny silver receptacle filled with a thimbleful of earth from St Patrick's grave, Charles A. Goodwin of 84 Scarborough street, Hartford, president of the Metropolitan District Commission, yesterday, returned to Hartford with Mrs Goodwin and his son, Charles, after making an extended tour of Ireland, Scotland and Eng land. The hallowed Irish soil taken from the grave of the be- loved saint, with samples of earth from three other shrines, will be placed beneath the new dam to be constructed on the Pennington river.
 According to an article in the Hartford Courant, he is quoted as stating that Although poverty is prevalent throughout Ireland, Mir Goodwin was tremendously im- pressed with the spirit of the populace. The people, he said, are shy, cordial and deeply in love with their native land.
 "You come away from the coun- try with a tremendous respect for the Irish" was the way Mir Good win summed up his experiences. And St Patrick is revered. by Pro- testants and Catholics alike. as a national hero. Mir Goodwin de- clared. "The roads are beautiful, even in the remote sections of Ire- land. And the poorest cottages are cheerful, flowers and gardens re- flecting the Irishman's love for beauty"
 Mir and Mrs Goodwin had a fine opportunity to inspect these roads at close range, travelling in one of Henry Ford's Irish-American creations most of the time when they were not exploring the coast or outlying islands in boats. The "flivvers." Mir Goodwin said. do not begin to have the power of those manufactured for use in tbiS country "

 Veterans of the department were united to-day in praising the quali- ties of their dead comrade. Super intendent Joseph H. Mclean and former Superintendent George M. Beach always held the deceased in high esteem and admired his loyalty and honesty. Captain Healey was one of the "old guard in local police history whose ranks have greatly thinned within the past few years. His record of service not only discloses a wide range of police du- ties, patrolman, traffic officer and member of vice crusading squads. but reveals a rare combination of splendid judgment under trying cir cumstances and an efficiency in which the best interests of law and order were preserved without an Imposition on individual rights.
