| that will please those who know the
first one. This one adds Angus, a ter
rible terrier, to the delightful donkey.
Don't miss it. James Island" has room
for boys on it, too, and they will enjoy
a trip there as much as Jane does.
For the younger children who read
for themselves, try "Alice." It helps the
beginners to read a book through if you
will read a little of each chapter to
them. They can read the talking pieces
and you can read the descriptions,
adapting as you go along if you think
wise. These children like "Pinocchio,"
THE Wizard of o." fairy tales and
Bible stories.
If you are in doubt about books for
the Summer, consult the librarian in
the children's department of the public
library. The librarian is trained to her
work. She knows all about books for
children and where they are to be had.
She can tell you why a book is good for
child and why it will not do for your
particular charge. Your library can
give you far more service than you
have yet asked of it.
Reading is about the best use of
leisure time the children can make
during the Summer holidays. There is
no better way of setting a good back
ground for style. behavior, tastes. aims
and culture than the way of good books.

Sue said, wondering from where she was getting her boldness Don't do anything idiotic. You'l have to die for it." Curiosity, a strange freakish kind, got the better of her for second. Where did you I hide after you shot Clifford? ?"
 'In the basement. leaned through 1 the window of the sun porch to dc | the work. Then slid down the base | ment window. And nobody looked Blind of the detectives, wasn't 1t? Stupid work I'll keep you covered but if you don't mind I'll stop be- ing sociable. want to spot the right man when he comes. I would hate to shoot the wrong one"
 Sue didn't answer. She stood up, though, straight and slim in the pink and blue dress.
 "Leander and Hero died together when the Helliepont marathon didn't get across" SybiPs voice went on spinning sinister witchery. Maybe you are thinking up some sort of
 
 might be, like Dido, the queen that couldn't get Aeneas. She burned herself to cinders. Or Cleopatra. She used an asp when Anthony forgot the muddy road up the Nile. Take your choice"
 Sue could tell by the very careless ness of Sybil's words that the girl was delirious or demented. Maybe fno fA hn rQ . matic. She was enjoying her role. And down the road the lights of a car flashed, and went by in min- ute, but Sue couldn't scream for she knew that there would be a click from the revolver and she would be the second to die from Sybirs wea- pon. She would have to wait until help was near, then throw herself on Sybil, very quickly, trusting and hoping that the revolver would not go off. She counted on her own slim strength against Sybil's weakness to help to carry on the battle, Sybil was still convelesc.ng from her flesh wound.
 Sue wondered where the girls had gone. They should be back by now. Then she saw them through the liv- ing room windows. She hoped that they would miss her and search for her.
 T think we will go into the base. ment. There's a window that will make a good shooting spot" Sybil said finally. Follow ahead and go where I tell you to or I'll shoot. My revolver happens to be soundless so nobody will know where you are." Sue walked in front of her through the garden, down the steps to the basement, through the recreation room with its ping-pong table, bill Hard table, fireplace and all the other things which made it social center. The long fruit cellar was next, and finally they came to the laundry Sybil took up her station and Sue sat down by the wall. She tried to get near the window but Sybil re- fused to let her. As 1t was. Sue couldn't see Jack when he came.
 Her eyes searched the room fran tically. Then suddenly she saw the thing she wanted. NExT-Sue struggles with SybiI.

NANCY PAGE Lawn Fetes Never Lose Their Appeal
 -~-~~@s By Florence LA Ganke.

A lawn fete was announced at church on Sunday. The younger people were busy dating one an other just so soon as services wele over. The older members began |, apportion the food. At this law fete they planned to have lemon ade. cake, strawberry ine cream. The men were elected to strin the electric cords from which ti- electric bulbs and the covering Jai anese lanterns would gaily swing the evening breeze.
 The janitor said he thought !: could erect the temporary table out on the lawn and his wife agreed to decorate them with the crept paper. So everything twas set and decided upon but the weather. Here they could do nothing but hope an6 bother the weather man with their many queries. He did. too, even sending big moon that gave a light that outshone any manmade lanterns

In making the lemonade the wo- men followed the sensible plan of boiling the water and sugar first. They used six cups water and four cups sugar and boiled the syrup for ten minutes. Then they cooled it.
 Next they washed the lemons. three dozen of them, and rolled them on the table under the palms of their hands. This made 1t easy to get the juice from the lemons, since the rolling broke many of the capsules holding the juice. They sliced lemons and mashed them with wooden potato masher until most of the juice was out. All told they need five cups of juice. They added juice and lemon slices to syrup, ada ed six quarts water. At serving time they put in large piece of ice. This amount served fifty.

Politicians Fiddle
 While People Loaf
Depression Reveals New Instances of Government Stagnation' If Not Breakdown as Masses Seek Work to Earn Bread

party had succeeded in bamboozling the voters, the women as well as the men falling for the bait, the win- ming candidates forgot all about these promises and devoted the ma- jor part of their time squabbling over office for their personal friends and party associates. A sop was thrown to the advocates of the old age pension by authorizing the ap- pointment of a committee to report or the matter two years hence. The same thing was done by the general assembly which preceded the pres ent one, but what did it amount to? How long will the public stand for this kind of treatment? Nobody knows, but there Is danger of it be- ing continued until the people fail to have faith in their representatives
 and in such an event the govern ment may look for the same upheav- als they are having in the old world,
 where taskmasters who felt secure in their berths had to get out and give the people an opportunity to
 save themselves from starvation.
 The average citizen is not particular
 who is at the head so long as the
 ship of state is managed so as to
 give him chance to make a decent
 living, but where this condition does
 not exist even strong party advo- cates finally join with the discon- tented elements and where this hap pens there is sure to be upheavals which upset the plans of those who never dreamed they could be driven from power. Things have not yet reached that stage in the United
 States, but unless the lawmakers give the people a new deal in the
 near future the present unrest is a sufficient indication o: what is bound
 to come.
 It would be we'll to remember, too,
 that there is little if any difference in the labor market here and in
 other industrial communities. This
 proves that the depression is not
 due to local mismanagement any,
 where, but places the blame where 1t belongs, at the seat of the na- tional government. Were it not for the generous disposition shown, by factories. stores and all other lines of endeavor the past year or so there would have been bread riots all over the country and the govern ment would have to do something instead of leaving private individ- uals to cope with the situation.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-06

The situation in Waterbury is far
 from being as bad as some would have you believe. True, many are
 out of employment and a number of others are on short time. But the
 trouble is not due to scarcity of funds nor lack of work that de-
 mands attention. The banks have
 money to loan and people gre anx-
 ious to borrow and build, but for
 some unexplained reason everybody
 appears timid and afraid to go ahead.
 Those who claim to be on the in-
 side attribute the blame to the na-
 tional government and claim there will be no material change until aft
 CT the next general election. This
 is not very conso1ing explanation
 fer the masses, but it seems to be
 the only logical one anybody has to offer, except advocates of the par l ty in power who come forward With the statement that the president nor
 business affairs of the nation. This is in direct contradiction of what the spellbinders have to say once every four years. They make no bones of proclaiming that if the party in power should be dislodged there would be a stagnation in business followed by bank failures and other dire consequences which would spell ruin to millions. This is what was dinned into the ears of the elec- tors at the last national election. If Smith should win, the people were warned to prepare for a period of depression such as the country had not witnessed during it's entire his- tory, while if Hoover should be suc- cessful there was nothing to fear, the factories all over the country would be running full time and
 there would be employment at good
 wages for everybody who was able ard willing to work in doors or else where.
 We'll, what has happened? One does not have to be a close Observ- this question. If the president and the congress have nothing to do with the business affai.- of the na- tion, why all this excitement once every four years? If the success of the republican party means contin- ued prosperity, why is it the coun- try has had so little of it the past two years, and no improvement in sight at this time? These are ques- tions people are asking. but nobody has an answer that satisfies every i body.
 The same things were broadcast
 just before the last state election. The old age pension was sure to be favorably received in the general as- sembly and other things were to be taken up and passed for the benefit of the working people. But after the candidates of the dominant
