 Aliens statement admitted his own poverty brought on by busi- ness conditions of the past two years, and said he was living in his expensive apartment as Q guest of the owner. It indicated an "un- written law" defense for Edward Allen, 23, who shot and killed Don- aldson Monday night after a fist fight over Rose.

 Young Allen called hotel help and still Donaldson refused tt leave, the statement said, aftei which the son started hts 10-mils drive for the shotgun with which he killed Donaldson as the latter was leaving the apartment.

 A previous statement to police by Rose said her brother had threatened "to blow Donaldson: head off," if he entered their part ment.

New Professor
 Coming To Rollins
I Dr Maud Worcester Makemson of U. of California T Added to Astronomy Course

President Holt points out, how ever, that although wide and per- feet knowledge of the subject to be taught is required of Rollins instructors, professors of the col lege are chosen particularly for their love of teaching, rather than for their research ability or writ ings. Of Mrs Makemson, Dr A. O. Leuschner, director of the Stu dents Laboratory, Berkley, says: Preaching seems to be in her blood" A former student of hers wrote Dr Holt: Mrs Makemson made astronomy the most popular course in Williams institute" An- other said, "She seems to have an intuitive understanding of the problems college students have in studying science, and has given me 8 genuine and thrilling inter- est in astronomy"
 For four years she was a suc- cessful news reporter for the Phoenix, Arizona, Gazette. and in 1919 she made one of the early sensational cross country air flights with Captain Ira Baker, to aid recruiting in the U. s. marine corps, of which her husband was & member. She Is the mother of a daughter who may attend Rollins and of two sons of high school age.

Injuries Suffered in Auto Accident Win Award for
 Harold Snow

Harold Snow Of this city was awarded damages of 5000 in his civil action against Julius and Heleyn Barbieri of Naugatuck in a decision handed down in the common pleas court this morning by Judge Edward J. Finn. The plaintiff asked $10,000. charging his left arm has been permanently disabled as result of being struck by the defendants car on South Main street.
 MT Snow was crossing the trolley tracks at a point opposite the gate of the Waterbury Buckle shop when struck by the Barbieri machine be- ing operated by Heleyn. He charged he cannot lift his left arm aboue 90 depree angle, or horizontally above his head. In addition he al- leges he suffered bruises and lac erations about his head, face and body.
 Attorney I. W. Pasternak ap- peared for the plaintiff and At- torney Martin F.. Gormley of Naug- atuck represented the defendants.

fled and licensed hairdressers and cosmeticians, but whether they are "barbers" is what is puzzling mem- bers of the profession and their clientele. If hairdressers are pro- hibited from doing little clip ping now and then without being licensed it is apparent that cus- toner must visit a barber and then hairdressers, submitting to two operations.
 The fact that MT D'Amico in person visited Waterbury to obtain evidence would indicate that the knights of the shears and razor in this city are up in arms in pro- test to the business methods of the sisters of the trade. This brings the old time barber shop into conflict with the modern beauty parlors. And the arrest of the four women in the opening shot in the campaign to license all hairdressers as barbers.
 Plenty of law is expected to cite tomorrow to show a distinction be- tween hairdresser and a barber.
