And next time it's to be skittles,
with prizes. You must come
along sometime, Ernst; you

Pretty good, eh?"
The child comes in. One Of
the boats has come unfolded.
Bruno carefully sets it right
again and strokes the little girls
hair. The blue ribbon crackles.
Then he takes me to a side
board laden with every conceiv.
able sort of object. He won
them in the shooting gallery at
the annual fair. Three shots a
penny, and whoever shot a Ger.
tain number of rings could
select his own prize. Bruno
shot down whole heaps of
Teddy bears, cut-glass dishes,
cups, beer mugs, coffeepots. ash
trays. balls and even two wicker
armchairs.
"At the finish they wouldn't
let me in anywhere" he laughs
happily. I'D have bankrupted

Witnesses Are Called
I go down the dark, street.
T-uno will be playing again
with his little girl. His wife
will be bringing in the evening
meal. Anc afterwards he will
go for his beer. On Sunday
he will take the family for
an outing. He is an affection
ate husband, a good father, a
respected citizen. There is
nothing to be said against him.
Nothing to be said against
him.
And Albert? And us?
Already an hour before the
beginning of Albert's trial we
are standing in the corridor of
th3 Courthouse. At last the
witnesses are called. With
thudding hearts we go in. Al
bert, very pale, is leaning back
ir his chair, gazing at the floor
in front of him. We try to
speak to him with our eyes.
Courage, Albert! We won't
leave you in the lurch. But
he does not look up.
After our names have been
read over, we have to leave the
courtroom again. AS we go
out we discover Tjaden and
Calentin sitting in the front
row of the audience. They
wink at us.
One after another the wit
nesse7 are called. With Willy
it lasts particularly long
time. Then comes my turn. A
quick glance at" Valentin-
imperceptible shake of the
head. So Albert has refused
to make any statement. I ex-
pected as much. He sits there
vacantly beside his counsel.
But Willy is red about the
gills. Watchful as a wolf
hound, he is eyeing the prosecu-
tor.
I arl sworn in.

@F|REMEN'S DAY"
IS NOW PROPOSED
Nationwide Drive Launched
for Recognition of Both
2eguIars and Volunteers.

A Nationwide campaign for the
adoption Of NATIONAL "Firemen's
day." that both professional and volun-
teer firemen may be duly recognized by
the American public, has been launched
here by the National Retirement Club
for Firemen and Policemen, with head
quarters in this city.
The proposal has the hearty indorSe-
ment of Fire Chief George S. Watson
of the local department and also the
Endorsement of Sergt A. J. Bargagni,
who each year has had charge Of the
f1remen's Labor day parade in the Dis
trict.
Suggests WreathS.
Sergt. Bargagni explained today that
he would like to see the day observed
locally on the Saturday before the an
nual parade. If the day is adopted for
next year. he said, he would like to see
ceremonies performed in connection
with the Bicentennial Celebration by
the firemen. He proposed that WreathS,
on the occasion, be placed by the fire
men on the tomb of George Washing
ton and the Tomb of the Unknown Sol
dier
Commenting on the establishment of
such a day throughout the Nation,
Fire Chief Watson said:
The benefit to both firemen and the
public will be incalculable. Fremen
Will realize that their courage. work
and high character are properly ap-
preciated by the people they protect,
and the public will learn. from the
various exhibits OF the departments,
how many different kinds of service
f1remen can give ranging from resusci-
tatlon with pulmotor to instruction in
the danger of explosions from dustS
and fumes.
I'VE are convinced that it will not
be long before Firemen's day will be a
big event on the national calendar.
All that has to be done to bring this
about is for all the fire departments.

The National Retirement Club for

Sidney Bieber, former Fire Marshal of

formed by active firemen and police
men themselves and from which they
receive certain benefits in the case of
injury and upon retirement. There are

Mr. Bieber said tentative plans are
also being considered for the establish

police may receive recognition for their
services and acts of valor in carrying

Senator Bratton Wants Compila-

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Bratton of New Mexico be-
lieves the country should pay some real
tribute to American women who went
to war.
He proposes that Congress establish
a national commission to collect all that
is known about women who took part
in all wars from the Revolution down.
The commission would draw no pay,
but would get S250,000 to finance ex-

27O,OOO MEN MAY
 BE PUT TO WORK
 ON WATERFRONTS

Washington, March 13-(UP)- The clank of steam-shovels soon will resound along hundreds of riv- CTS and waterfronts as unemployed go to work again. These results were .Creseen by the war department to- day in plans to spend $52.819,245.75 improving American ports and wat efways. This fund already has been apportloned among some 250 pro- Jects. ten of which received more than $1,000,000 each.
 Department officials estimate fully half of this amount will be spent for labor. This would mean, f. exactly half were put into wages, four weeks work at $4.00 per day for approximately 270.000 men. It would provide three months work "a job until summer-for about 00.000 men. The rest of the money will go for materials, technical serv- ices. and supervision, all of which, too, will benefit the unemployment situation.
 Officials hero are prepared to "get men on the job" in the shortest pos- s.ble time. District engineers throughout the country have drawn Up advance plans for the projects. Tn many cases contracts are in shape to be let almost immediately, the war department said. Some of the money will go to continue contracts already made.

Beat New Britain Man In Attempt To

Walter Glanvich Found Roaming About Brooklyn Dis- trict Badly Beaten Remembers Attack on Him By Four Youths Who Failed in Thorough Search for Bills

questioning the fact then that the four young men had no incentive to attack the gentleman from New Britain. One of the pockets of his trousers had been ripped open. The police are of the opinion that the youths being amateurs in the holdup game abandoned the task without making thorough search of the in- tended victims clothing or else they were frightened away.
 The attack and woulud-be rob- bery was staged about 12 o'clock last evening and Gilanvich as the result of the beating evidently wan dered around. He doesn't recall where he went after he had been held up He admitted taking a couple of drinks early this morning.

ret. Mrs Josephine McGowan of Canton. Ohio, will be the guest speaker.
 The session will open with a bus mess meeting at which Miss Rose A. Clarkin, chairman of the council, will preside. Election of officers will take place and a report of the work of the council and the diocesan bu- reau will be given. There will also be short musical program. Mem bers of the council and their friends are invited to attend. The local bu- reau will soon complete its tenth year in tho field of social service.
 The subject of Mrs McGowan's address will be ''The Catholic Wom- an in the Modern World" This is one of many topics she has chosen during her present eastern lecture tour. Rev Labor Mclaughlin, chap plain of the College of Saint Eliza beth of which Mrs Josephine Mo- Gowan is an alumna said of her in his introductory address at the col- lCge in 1929 when Mrs McGowan delivered the commencement ad- dress: "I have been at Convent some fifteen years and have listened, on commencement days and other oc- casions to speakers prominent in their own communities and, some of them, in the eye of the nation at large. I have listened to members of the bar, to financeirs, to authors, 'c educators, to judges of our civil courts, to governors and ex-gov- ernors and to United States sena- tors. And if you were to ask me if any one of the speeches I have heard stood out from the rest as pe- culiarly or significantly excellent I would answer that there was one speech which seemed to me to pos- scss almost all the good qualities of the others and to have in addition that subtle, that elusive, that ex- quisite something for which I have no adequate name but which no man, however talented he might be could ever hope to attain. It was a speech given in Xavier hall of this college on the occasion of Mother xavier's centenary by the speaker who is about to address the grad uates and whom deem it an honor to present to you, Mrs Josephine McGowan, bachelor of arts, and for mer president of the Alumnae as- sociation of the College of St Eliza beth."
