 The Carnavalet is properly the museum of this city. and much of it's lore deals with the successive revolutions that have swept Paris from time to time. The days or the terror are vividly portrayed In the numerous exhibits, showing the last orders of King Louis the 18th, the stockings, and shoes or the Princess, the games of the lit- tie Dauphin. locks of Marie An toinette's hair. chains. furniture. clothing. books, death warrants and pictures.
 Most of the exhibits are priv ately loaned and bear the names of the donors, and one of the most famous exhibits was the bath-tub in which Charlotte Corday stab bed Marat, the man who was be- heading half of France, it seemed. The bathtub was loaned to the Carnavalet, but it is now in a pro- fessional museum known as the Musee Grevin and the donor is paid richly. instead of receiving nothing.

 VACATION FOR
 U. 5. LAWMAKERS
Ohioan Cites Examples of Foolish Legislation
 in States

Atwater, O.-The Rev c. l.. Smith, of this city, advocates ex- tended vacations for lawmakers, and the unconditional repeal of quaint and unnecessary laws" on Americas statute books.
 To strengthen his contentious, Rev Smith has gathered numerous legal provisions which he has branded as ''ludicrous and impossi- ble." Examples:
 Tn Alabama, bootleggers bega n giving "short measure" so the state legislature passed a resolut tion asking the governor to con- duet an investigation.
 Horse racing within mile os court house is a crime in New York state.
 In Massachusetts, women are not permitted to expose bare arms. If they wear short-sleeved dresses, the law says they must have sep arate sleeves extending to the wrists.
 By no means are all the fool ish laws on. the statute books though, the pastor declared. Some which have been proposed are just as absurd. South Carolina legislators con- sidered a bill which would scrap Newton's law of gravity and would require the teaching of Einstein's theory on relativity in schools. A Georgia grand jury has drafted a proposed bill providing prison sentences for love thieves. Illinois considered a bill pro- hibiting use of the word pain. less" by dentists, while Missouri debated one making it crime to catch a frog.

 Even before being awarded a contract for a new U. s. naval de- stroyer, to cost $2,626,O00, this week, the Bath Iron Works Cor poration had sufficient orders on hand to keep its TOO skilled em- ployes busy throughout the win- ter. Among these was one for seven 165-foot coast guard patrol boats.

leased on bonds pending the call- ing of their cases in the future.
 The two accused were charged with blackmail and bribery re- sulting from their taking $15 in alleged marked bills from one Tony Marine in Wolcott last December .2. The state charged the money was taken as bribe to safeguard Marino from arrest be- cause of his alleged moonshine ac- tivities.
 Attorney Thomas F. McGrath appearing for the accused charged that the money taken by the two officials was in the form of cam- paign donatoins for the democratic party of which both Todd and Fulgham were members. It was the contention of Attorney Mo- Grath that the whole affair was nothing more than political feud.
 One of the 'jurymen is reported to have said after the panel was discharged that the 12 men stood T to for acquittal.

 Whether other companies Will follow the lead of several big cor porations in cutting wages, Sena- for Couzens was not prepared to say. He expressed the belief that many smaller concerns already have reduced wages without at- tracting publicity.
 f.Note the fact that these business leaders have picked out the start of cold weather to issue their wage cutting orders," he said. Tt would appear they awaited the psycho- lorfcal moment, With winter coming on, resources low and jobs hard to find, the men have no all formative but to accept.
 You will notice no such cuts have been ordered by the rail- roads, because they first must ne- cotiate with well-organized broth erhoods before changing wage ecale."
 Some employers. Couzens said, point out that this is free coun- try and that men may quit their 1obs if they object to working con- ditions.
 "Such talk simply depicts the Oretical picture because we have had circumstantial evidence in the last two years that men in this country are not free" he said. sThey have been hired and fired at will. Required to work such hours as their employers dictated, and accept such wages as their Employers offered-this all on the Resumption that labor is a com xnodity and subject to the law of supply and demand. which is the theory of the jungle"
