 This plan, if carried out, would be similar to that followed in the se- lection of senators for the legislature. They are elected by district and not from the state, at large. If they were elected at large many districts would be without representation at all, as is the case in the voting districts in Waterbury.

 THRILLS

 Do you get thrill when the breath of spring Doth lightly, sweetly kiss your brow? Do you want to dance and to smile and sing To shout your joy to the world. some howl Do you ever look at babe asleep And hum so softly lullabye' And pray that his road may be not too steep That he may not suffer as you and r Did you ever sit with the lights turned low, And think and dream of bye-gone day! Of voice, (the lovliest one you know) voice that is ever far away Did you find just lovely golden line. Of poetry in the Tower news? And you know that it is true and hne Does it chase away an attack of blues! Do you get thrill from these things? do, And some how hope these thrill you, too

PETER ARNO AND
BRIDE ELECT ON
WAY TO NEW YORK
Car t oonist, Who Had
Trouble With Vanderbilt,
Is Keeping Himself Out
of Public Eye

Chicago, July 6 - (UP) - Peter
Arno, New York satirical artist, and
Florence Rice Smith, daughter of
Grantland Rice. sports writer, were
believed motoring toward New York
today after leaving transcontinen-
tai train at Chicago suburb. A
private automobile was waiting for
Arno and his companion when they
left the train at Wheaton, Illinois,
and they disappeared Immediately.
Half an hour later man telephoned
County Clerk Clarence Wagerman,
asked If he could obtain a marriage
license within 10 minutes and hung
up without giving his name when
the request was refused.
It was believed Arno did not wish
to discuss with Chicago reporters
his famous argument with Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Jr, and for that reason
left the train at Wheaton. It was
considered probable that he and the
former Mrs Smith would motor to
some town in Indiana and resume
their trip to New York by rail.
"Arno stayed in his compartment
during most of the trip from Reno
to Wheaton," the train conductor
said. "And Mrs Smith stayed in
hers, too. I heard rumors they were
married, but it was a strange honey
moon, If they were."

Woman

Rockport, Me. July s - (UP) -
The body of woman believed to
have been Mrs Mertie Wellman,
mother of three children, who has
been missing from her home for two
months, was found in an uncultivat-
ed pasture last night. The body
was clad in the dress Mrs Wellman
wore when last seen alive and ac-
cording to Medical Examiner Hora-
ito w. Frohock bore evidence Of a
struggle. Her clothing was torn In
several places and the position of
the body led investigators to believe
she met death in violent manner.
Mrs Wellman disappeared at the
same time that Alden Boulier, es-
capped maniac and murderer left the
farm of Fred Priest where he had
been employed. Boulder. who went
to work at the Priest farm a year

More Lives Lost In The
Nation During Holidays
Than Last Years Record

Only three deaths-a new low
record - resulted from firecrack-
ers, compared with IL last year. In
1909, when a package Of powerful
fire crackers could be purchased for
10 cents in any drug store or gro
Gerry, there were 216 deaths from
that cause.
Two Of the greatest holiday dis
asters occurred in California. A ter
rifle rip tide took at least 20 lives
among the crowds along Pacific
coast beaches near Los Angeles.
Six other lives were lost in a Cali
fornia airplane crash and six peo-
pie were killed in automobile
accidents.
Injuries among Independence day
celebrations also increased. Reports
indicated that nearly 1000 persons
were injured by fireworks and a
larger number were hurt in auto
mobile fatalities. Crowded highways
and bathing beaches were two re-
suits of the good weather.
