He Was in Hartford To-day in Defense of Senator LawlOr Bill-Snlith Ap- pOintment Defeated To- day
(By Democrat Stan Man)


 Hartford, March 24-Mayor Frank Hayes of Waterbury appeared be- fore the judiciary committee here this afternoon and advocated the passage of Senator Joseph H. Law lor's bill, which would legalize horse racing in Connecticut. Senator Law Tor and number of other enthus- lasts of the measure spoke in its fa- vor. It was stated that the state would derive a revenue of possibly $1,000.00O yearly from taxation. Some opposition to the adoption of the bill has been organized and it is expected that representative gathering will be in attendance at the hearing.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPROwLs.

In this place I now and then take a
rap at spiritism or spiritualism and all
the other suggestions, beliefs and con-
victionS which assume that mind is
entirely different from, and existent
outside, the body.
My reason for asserting my d1Sap-
proval Of these miracles of Spiritualism
is. after all, very simple. I cannot I'M
derstand the language of Spiritualists
such as Sir Oliver Lodge, Howard Car
rington and their followers. Moreover,
have yet to find the person who does.
AS I see it, the spiritualists and those
who follow them simply cannot define
their terms. They use words-words-
words. Nothing but words-that Is, so
far as can find out.
Ask yourself what the following terms
mean: Experimental apparitions, tela-
esthesia, cosmic soul, personal identity,
psychic lights, vital radiations, psychic
telephone, mind reading, spirit pho.
Biography, independent voices, vocal
bomb, PoltergeiSt manifestations. dream
body, astral body, superconSciousness,
atisms, clairaudience, teleplasn, semi
material substance, ectoplasm. super
normal biology. spirit music.
OF course, have here committed
the sin of taking certain words out OF
their context, and then asking what
they mean. I must admit that this
renders my criticism of SpiritualiSm
null, void and useless. But plead 1gno-
rance even when I leave them in their
context. Different writers seem to me
to use them with so many different
meanings. Spiritualism needs first Of
all a workable dictionary.

His two companions on the Alaskan

Their purpose in making the trip is
to observe closely the effect Of regula-

They. too. are jealous conservationistS,
particularly Walcott, who, as chairman
of the Senate Committee, will head the

With the possible exception Of Sena-

that Of any other man in the Senate.
Before he came to the Senate he was
head OF the game and fish commission
In his State for many years. He Is
credited with having done perhaps more
for conservation in Connecticut than
any other man.
His skill as a salmon fisherman is
known far and wide, and he has made
frequent visits to the coast of New
foundland in his quest. He holds men,

South, where he goes to shoot duck.
At his home in Litchfield Hills, Conn,
he owns a huge lake which serves as a
refuge every year for ducks ON their
flights North and South.
In addition. he has built up a reputa-
ton as an explorer.

made, the wall Is draped in cool green
and every seam overlaps in just the
right place to hold its position.
The nursery Is now complete and
must be provisioned. Away she flies
to the flower garden and there helps
herself to pollen and nectar. On the
rug this Is placed in a neat little pile,
with the nectar dropped in the center
of the pollen. The bee mother turns
her back and places the tiny egg right
in the center of the drop of nectar.
She walks slowly out of the nursery.
It Is the last time she will ever enter
it. To the rosebush she goes once more
and cuts a large circle. It is for the
doorway and must be tucked in to
keep out intruding insects. Sometimes
she has the PORTER of double thick
ness. At last all Is done for her baby
she can do and she places debris about
to hide the entrance.
Many of these rooms will be con-
structed. To make a place large enough
for her nursery means long, tedious
hours. She is the size of humble bee
The wood Is taken out grain by grain,
thousands and thousands of trips.
The mother never sees her children.
When the egg matches in that little
nursery, the baby knows the food was
left for her and she eats 1t all up, then
spins a cocoon, after facing the door,

grown bee, walk to the door and with

The table linen was white with O

light-green candles were burning on the

warmth, but they certainly looked cooler

still some daylight, there were only two

green. The china was gayly lowered.
OF course, green and white china, or

Escapes "Ride" By
 Bluffing "Assassins'
George Padrozny Tells Police Effort Made to Put Him
 "On the SpOt''

One of those stories, which one would be inclined to associate with private affairs in gangland circles of Chicago and New York was told to the police authorities early this morning by George Padrozny of 32 Abbott avenue. Armed bandits att tempted to take him for ride with the evident purpose of pumping him off. He was covered by two guns. There was stolen car waiting to take him on the one-way trip, but he baked the attempt by pretending that he was armed and with his hand in the pocket of his coat gave them the impression that he had them covered" A pal seen running toward Exchange place for the po- lice completed the illustration of the act and the two supposed killers" drove away with the usual formality of stating will see you later.
 Padrozny tells the dramatic tale and the police believe him. He was to be put on the spot as certain un- derworld men have been in the big towns for alleged ''squealing" on friends. Padrozny is under bonds to appear in the next criminal term of superior court and it is reported that evidence given by him has incrimin- ated others, hence the Chicago desire to take him for ride.
 According to the young man he was at home when his two unwel- comed guests arrived and pointing guns at him invited him outside of his place of residence for a private talk. As more privacy was appar-

ently desired they ordered him into parked car. Padrozny then worked his right hand in such a fashion as to convey the impression that he was also armed and ready to shoot it out. The fact that companion of Pad rozny made getaway from the house to call the police caused the two gangsters to abandon their plan. They ran through an alleyway near the Salvation Army building and made a complete disappearance be- fore the arrival of Patrolman Charles Nolan and William Carroll.
 The two officers took possession of the car intended for tRe ride and it was later identified as the proper ty of Jerry Misinonille of 116 North Main street. He had previously re- ported it stolen while he was hav- ing supper in a restaurant on Union street.
 The story may sound fantastic to some, but the police actually believe it. Waterbury is apparently due for some action la Chicago.

ADOLPHE MENJOU AND
 CONSTANCE BENNETT AT LYRIC IN THE EASIEST WAY''

Beginning to-day the Lyric theater will show Metro-Goldwyn-M Mayors talking picture adaptation of "The Easiest Way" with Constance Ben nett starred. This is the famous Be- lasco stage classic which is credited with having changed the whole trend of thought on sex matters from Vic- torian to modern standards.
 The Easiest Way" when intro- duced on the stage by Frances Starr in 1909, created an international sen- sation, because it was the first play to hint even remotely that a man could forgive woman who had made misstep. It was the first move for the abolition of the single standard in favor of the double standard of morality.
