as ccnnubial bliss.

back to 1445. 1t was dropped during
the war and revived in small way last
year.
A fitch. or side of bacon, is awarded
to each couple who prove before jury
of six maids and six bachelors that they
have lived happily for one year ana q

proceedings began that several imita-
lions Of the trial have taken place else
where recently.
A. Mortimer appeared as counsel to
defend the fitch and G. p. Emery acted
as counsel for the claimants. The nrst
couple to appear was Mr.. and Mrs. A.
H. Cox Of London. Cox, who is q hair
dresser, said he became acquainted with
his wife through dressing her hair and
that since their marriage he has never
once regretted it.
He said his hobby was making model
yachts and his wife helped in preparing
the sails.
who clears up the chips after Mr..
Cox has been making yachts in the
drawing room?" asked the Judge.
He does" Mrs. Cox replied, "and
without being told"
Mr.. and Mrs. o. Z. Hodgetts OF Full
ham and Mr.. and Mrs. N. Devon OF
Dunmow were the other claimants.
Hodgetts, who is a motor mechanic, said
his hobby was wireless.
"You know Adam went in for WIRE

his spare part for loud speaker"
Hodgetts said his wife was second
cousin of Jack Dempsey.

judge.
D.von confessed to kissing woman
in a movie, thinking she was his flancee
but said it was explained and no trouble
followed. Neighbors testified that the

Prosperity Seen
Through Short Day

New York-The shorter work day
as justice for the workers and an eco
nomically sound method of promot-
ing prosperity was advocated by Mary
Anderson, director of the Woman's
Bureau of the U. S. Department of
Labor, in an address before the Ameri-
can Woman's Association here.
Miss Anderson said that according
to the 1880 U. S. Census. of Unem-
$4,000 women in the pro-
fessional and semi-professional CLASH
fcations were out of work and that
from 4 to 10 per cent of the working
women in various industries were in
the army of the jobless.
"The shorter workday," Miss And
erson declared, "means more employ
men for everybody, more regular
work for those employed, increased
time for the worker to make use of
many products hat can be consumed
only in leisure hours, increased OPP
portunity for training and research.

CAROLINA PAYS
HUGE sum INTO
u. s. TREASURY

North Carolina is one of Uncle
Sans biggest assets as a revenue pro-
ducer. During the II months which
ended with June 80, 1880, it paid in
to the United States treasury the sum
of $275, 600, 900 and stands second to
New York which calls itself the En-
pire state.
The magician" who collects this
vast sum is Gillian Grissom, and he
smilingly says that the federal rev.
enue is collected from two "em-
pires," North Carolina and New
York, and 46 smaller states, said Col.
Fred Odds of Raleigh in discussing the
question.
The story of the rise of this state
into such prominence as a national
asset is worth the telling. He took
the position of revenue collector for
North Carolina October "a, 1921,
succeeding Josiah W. Bailey. For the
fiscal year ended June 50, 1922,
Bailey's part of the collections for the
one-third of a year and Grissom's for
the remaining two-thirds totaled $12-
3,O0O,O 900, and this state ranked as
eighth in the nation.
For the fiscal year ended June 80.
1928, the total was $141,000,00 900.
In 1922, collections $123,000,0O0.
ranking eighth.
In 1928, collections s141,O00,0 900,
ranking seventh.
In 1924, collections $15S,000,o00,
ranking sixth.
In 1925, collections $167, 900,
ranking fifth.
In 1926, collections$193, OO0, 900,
ranking fifth.
In 1927, collections $2o6, 900.
ranking fourth.
In 1928, collections $255,O0O,O 900,
ranking second.
In 1880, collections $275, ooo,o 900,
ranking second.
Thus in eight years time North
Carolina has climbed from the eight
place to the second.
Something else has happened. Just
before Collector Grissom came the
collections cost "A cents on a 500
but since the cost has been reduced to
only six cents on the 500. But the
average cost of collections in the 0
revenue districts in the United States
is $1.2O on the $500. In this state
such a large proportion of these re-
venue taxes is in STAMP taxes on
tobacco, which are easily and cheaply
collected. So the cost here, six cents
on a 500 is only a 10th of the ave-
rage in the other districts in the
United States.

The Waterbury Bar association at it's monthly meeting at the Hotel Waterbury this noon went on record as reaffirming the adoption of res- olution for the repeal of the 18th amendment. The step is the same as that taken on May II. 1928 when the association went on record as fa- voring the repeal of the 18th amend ment. It followed the action of the Philadelphia Bar association which adopted similar resolution. The local bars attempt to have the state bar association adopt similar res olution failed however.
 There were several judges and two other members who did not vote on the resolution this noon. Two others voted against the adoption of the resolution. There were 61 members present.
 The bar also went on record as favoring the adoption of a new bill to be presented to the state legisla- ture on negligence cases.

JAIL SENTENCE
 FOR TWO WOMEN
Convicted in Police Court of Taking Articles From
 Local Stores
CAUGHT WITH GOODS

Found guilty of the charge of shoplifting, Mrs. Madeline Maisto, 46, of Al North Elm street and Mrs. Mary Monzella, 40. of the same address were sentenced to jail to-day for a period of fifteen days each. They were taken into custody on complaint of Mrs. Marie Southern. who is chief of staff of a number of women investigators employed by local business men. The accused were under arrest Saturday afternoon after they were found in possession of some articles alleged to have been taken from the department store of the w. T. Grant company and Rowland & Hughes. Mrs. Southern summoned the police. Both women were taken in custody by Detectives Edward McElligott and Joseph Bender. The alleged stolen articles were found in their possession and presented in court to-day as evidence against the accused.
 Mrs. Southern has been employed by local stores for several years. She has a long record of convictions in her campaign against shoplifters. Since the Christmas holidays she has been in charge of a number of private women detectives, who are on duty in local department stores. Waterbury merchants assured of the cooperation of the police and court officials have sponsored an intensive drive against shoplifters. Thousands of dollars worht of merchandise dis appear from the counters of local stores within the course of a year. To discourage the growing popular ity of the practice, merchants have engaged women detectives. Mrs. Southern is considered one of the most successful in the state. She has a long record of convictions to her credit.
