NOW ETHE TIME.
 TO MAKE APPEALS
Officials Should Provide for Collection and Dis-
 pOsal of Rubbish
IN INTEREST OF HEALTH

People who have private ends to serve are morely likely to get the ear of the city officials when the budget is being made out than those who look at expenditures from the standpoint of public needs. This is quite natural, so that there is no use finding fault with one man for what is common to all. But the officials have to weigh appeals brought to them and make 1t a point to see that the in- terests of the masses are not lost sight of.
 One does not hear much about health matters at this time, and yet there is nothing more impor- tant than the health of the com munity, something which cannot be properly cared for unless those charged with that duty have ample funds. A new condition confronts waterbury in the matter of ob- serving the sanitary code. In the old days, families did not use can ned goods to the extent they do now, and as a result almost every 1lousekeeper has a basketball of empty containers at the end of a week and no place to dispose of them. Provision should be made to have these carted to the dumping grounds. If this is not done, peo- pie will deposit them where they are bound to be a a'menace to pub lie health. Empty tin cans are first cIaS breeding places for all kinds of insects and none of them should be left near private residences, especially during the summer sea son. It would cost money to gather up all this truck, but it would be worth the outlay.
 Different cities in the state, in- cluiing Hartford. Ansonia and Bridgeport already collect refuse, as well as garbage and maintain municipal dumps. Mayor-elect John Murphy of New Haven had this as part of his program, and no doubt he will put it into effect soon as possible after he takes of- flee.

 So when Mir Hoover's brother in-law was arrested on a charge of illegal possession of liquor in Santa Monica, Cal, it was big news, par ticularly in the town where Mir Hoover lives.
 Until a late hour of the night newsboys were doing a record busi- ness, selling papers as fast as they could be run off the presses. All over the city rang the cry:
 President HoOver's brother-in- law arrested for bootlegging!

Her mother, sitting at an old fashioned. sewing machine in one corner of the living room, looked up, sighed, and did not reply. Yards of sleazy yellow. material billowed around her and as she pressed her foot with energy the motor hummed and the yellow stuff resolved itself into a costume. Cass Barrett's costume, in fact, for The Mark of Man." so-called high brow drama playing that week at the New Art theater, far uptown.
 Cass was 45 years old, still slim, still faintly elegant. In kindly light she could pass for 35. Not at this exact moment, perhaps, in her faded blue dressing gown with her hair screwed up on top of her head so that the roots showed dark and the ends unnaturally golden. No, to-day Cass looked all of her 45 years. But the light was harsh and Cass was tired, beset by many worries. The summer, bane of the players life, yawned emptily ahead of her. Always before this she had
 managed somehow to pack Liane off to the country. But there was no such prospect this year. Now Liane was out of school, out of that convent to which Cass had so astonishingly managed to send her

Well, she got excitement, all right" said the policeman, nodding grimly. And though I'm ashamed to say it, it's my own cousin here that's responsible for dragging her into this" He favored Molly with a baleful stare. My own flesh and blood" he admitted, nodding his head sorrowfully.
 Cant you let her go now?" Cass pleaded. "pll give you my name and address. You can call on us if you need us. Only don't give her name to the papers! She's just baby. It would be too hor- rible!"
 McDermid looked around refiec- lively. One of his men came to sergeant" to something McDermid Shane took Molly's arm. Look ye here," he said, fercely. "Take this child and her mother out that back door. It leads into court-some store arcade-and you can get you say a prayer that boy gets better"
 Cass tried to thank him. She couldn't. somehow. He waved them off. To Molly he said mean ingfully. "Pll be seein' you"
 
 When Molly, shamefaced, had taken leave of them Cass, very tired now, turned toward the the ater with her daughter. Liane Jagged along, casting occasional frightened glances at her mothers white, set face.
 Mother, I'm terribly sorry-!' she began. Cass turned to her. Don't say another word," she com manded, in breaking voice. Its my fault. utterly mine. A child like you, in this town. It's un- thinkable. You ought to be petted and coddled and protected, instead of being thrown to the wolves this way. My baby!"
 It was better than any sermon. Liane's back straightened. She said, You're not to say such things, mother. I'm old enough to stand on my own feet. It's not your fault. I feel a beast to have let you in for this"
 | Cass looked at clock in a shop they were passing. "Heavens!" she said, in a pent voice. "1t's only half-past seven. l feel as if I had been through hours of worry and even now I shall be in time to play. Thank goodness, I'm not on in the first scene"

all these years, and summer in the torrid small apartment stretched before them. Summer with no job in. prospect, rent to pay, food to buy. No wonder Cass looked trou- bled. Her season at New Art was nearly over..
 in the kitchenet. The tap hissed and sputtered, drawers were Justify opened and shut, cutlery clattered on an unseen tin tray. Presently Liane appeared in the doorway, balancing that tray on one hand in burlesque of an experienced wait mother" and put 1t down noisily on the green table.
 Cass pushed aside the pillows of yellow cloth and got up stiffly. Looks grand" she yawned, pulling of the ice." Liane complained, shaking a glass of tea. "I'll have to yell at Tony as I 80 by this aft ernoon.
 Don't say yell precious" Cass demurred. She used the precise diction which usually caused her to be mistaken for an Englishwoman. much to her delight. She had been born in Syracuse.
 Liane said, I'll scream at him then"
 "Lordy, I hate to think of that long afternoon at Willabaugh's," the girl went on. My feet do ache so and 1t is so hard to sell anything to the terrible women who are just looking'!"
 Her mother nodded in sympathy. l"I know, my pet. It's dreadful, | but when Mrs Cronin spoke to me about the part-time work this week I thought we'd better snatch at 1t. After all, it's only afternoons and you can put by bit of money for later" II know I ought to be glad of the chance" Liane sighed. sipptng her tea. "Somehow 1 can't get ex- cited about it."
 You ought to be having tennis and swimming and parties" Cass murmured essentially. She spread her hands wide in an expressive gesture. But what can one do about it?"
 Cass went back to her machine as Liane clattered through the dishes. Must have this finished by two," Cass announced. When the girl came to say good by few minutes later her mother looked at her admiringly. That red things nice on you," she said of Molly Cronin's last years print cd silk. Indeed the girl, freshened by cold water and a brushing up, looked surprisingly cool and sweet. Cass sighed again as the young feet tapped down the four flights of stairs.
 "A shame!" she murmured. The woman gathered up the finished robe and packed 1t into an old suit box. She cold-creamed her face with religious care, made up with meticulous intentness, brushed her tarnished hair until 1t gleamed and pressed 1t, into shining waves about her face. There. that was better! lShe spent five minutes massagins
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-07-14

And that was all. Liane squeezed her arm. "Mother, you're sweet!" she said in very small voice.
 "I'll sit out on the fire escape" she said to Cass, when the latter rushed in to change after the first act. Its terribly hot out front and I've seen this at least 10 times this season."
 She wanted to be alone in the dark and the coolness to review the events of this dramatic eve ming. It didn't seem possible that she. Liane Barrett, could have been involved in such a horrible adventure. Her heart trembled to think of 1t. She perched on the iron balcony outside the dressing room her mother shared with FL sic. The noises of the street in front came to her with a muted quality. A fire siren screamed and tore through the night. Some- where in the flats across the way a baby howled. Taxis rushed through the darkness, their brakes screaming as they drew up at the cross streets. Trolley cars changed and elevated trains rattled cheer fully along. It was not exactly syl- van quiet but 1t seemed peace 1n- carnate to the troubled young girl. She thought: "I wonder why they call it the bright face of danger To me danger is anything

but bright" and she shivered, re- mem bering.
 When the performance was over Liane blundered down the stairs looking for Mir Wells. There was message for him, the callboy said. He couldn't be found.
 At the door of his office she stood, slim and defenseless in the half light. A tall man unwound himself from Vernon's chair. Are you looking for someone?" he asked pleasantly.
 For MT Wells" Their glances met, locked. For split second. Liane knew mo- ment of pure panic, a dizziness. There was something impelling in those dark, deep-set eyes. some- thing almost hypnotic. | Hes not about. I'll have to look further" faltered the girl.
 The stranger took a step for ward. Wait here and I'll find him." he said in that strangely com polling voice. And there was laughter in it. Do wait, Liahe," he said.
 | She fled, murmuring excuses. If this curious fluttering she felt were love, Liane reflected, then it was a strange thing. Because this man knew her name, and she had never seen him before in her life! l (To Be Continucd.)
