Scitano Given
 Month To Settle
Predicament Results From Purchase of Piano on Time
 Payments

A months allowance of time was given to Peter Scitano, 35, of Bal timore to find the easiest way out of an unusual predicament in which he finds himself as the re- suit of purchasing piano on time payments. Judge John F. Mo- Grath has ruled that the state has no evidence to convict the accused of violation of a conditional bill of sales law. If there was any actual offense of embezzlement by agent the crime was committed in Balti- more. As Scitano has promised to see to it that the piano is returned to it's original owner, a local store, the court decided that the best dis position of the case was to continue it a month and await develop ments.
 It was a costly adventure for the city to bring Scitano back to Wa terbury from Baltimore without much hope of obtaining a convic- tion or the transportation expenses The accused contracted for the purchase of piano. The contract instead of being a conditional bill

NEW TREATMENT
 FOR WEAK NERVES

A famous scientist has perfected a new nine day treatment that is a true godsend to people suffering from weak frazzled nerves. This new treatment is not a medicine, but a scientific compound of the elements required by nature to re- store complete health. It Is food supplement. It supplies the chemi- cal clements that should be in your food, but Is generally refined" out.
 Nerve exhaustion, fraZzled and tangled nerves, are the first sign that your nerve tissues are suffer- ing from the lack of the essential, chemical element. If you cannot sleep at night, if every sudden noise makes you jump, if your nerves are on edge" you should go at once to your druggist and ask for NINEDAY, the new elee ment treatment. Take it for nine days as directed. You will probably find complete health restored to your exhausted nerves with this first nine day treatment, just as hundreds of others have done. < NINEDAY can be secured at A nnthanaries Hail Cn.

RICH PEOPLE ARE
 GIVING TO POOR IN SOME CITIES
Five Typical American Cities Are Taken for an Example = They Have Done We'll

Chicago, Oct 13-(UP)-People with money are giving it to help those who have none. thus taking the sting out of the depression for millions.
 Community chest drives in five typical American cities have ex- ceeded their quotas. a survey by the United Press disclosed to-day. The report, cheery with dollar signs, indicates that most of the other 3S0 cities in the United States and Canada which have commu- nity chests will be equally liberal.
 Since community chests are we'll organized mediums of relief, with a record of applying funds where they will do most good and reach ing those most in need, the mill lions of dollars American men and women pour into their treasuries this year will feed, clothe, house and warm millions of less fortu- nate families.
 The money, coming from those who have more than they need for essentials. flowing into the cur rent of business is expected by business leaders to aid materially in encouraging recovery of normal trade.
 The cities covered in the United Press survey are Wichita Falls, Tex; Green Bay, Wis; Seattle, Wash; Duluth, Minn, and Elgin, III.
 Wichita Falls, with a goal of $59,921, oversubscribed its quota by $2,000 a day before the cam paign was scheduled to end.
 Green Bay oversubscribed its quota of $41,400 by 50 per cent. When the drive ended, there was $61.020 available for relief pur- poses.
 Seattle's citizens were liberal in their donations. giving $16,000 more than the $77,000 asked.
 Duluth's community chest drive brought in s313,000, some $10,000 more than the goal.
 Elgin exceeded its quota for the first time since the community chest was established there. Citi- zens gave $8O,988.37, although they were asked for only $71,396. At least $2,000 more was expected.

of sale was regarded by the courts as a one-sided agreement which was not signed by the company selling the instrument. Scitano on losing his position here moved with his wife and five children to Baltimore. He left the piano in Waterbury. Relatives shipped it to him. He claimed that he asked the company several times to take it back as he was unable to pay for it, but they paid little or no notice to him. It has also been claimed that Scitano sold the piano in Bal timore and diverted the money to his own use. He denied this claim and has promised that on his re- turn to Baltimore he will send the piano back to Waterbury.
 Luciano Mannello, GA, of 34 Spring street, was discharged. He was accused of annoying a woman who resides near his place of bus mess. He claimed that she has been annoying him. The case of Warren Hopkins, 28, of Hotel Len nox, Boston, charged with reckless driving, was continued one week.
