TOXIC CALM RESTORED.
Jingoist Newspapers Quiet Down After
Earlier Big Noise"

Earlier Big Noise"
Special Dispatch to The Star.
TOXIC, August 1l.-Calm returned
even the jingoist newspapers fiattened
out under the strenuous heat wave after
yesterdays ''yakamashi" C'big noise'')
over American Secretary of State Henry
l.. Stimson's possible suggestion In his
New York speech Monday that Japan is
the aggressor in Manchuria.
The American embassy has received
no cables from Washington specifying
what the mooted speech contained,
much less any communication from the
Japanese foreign Office, only a few
blocks away.
This puts the diplomatic tempest in
the same category as the typhoon which
the Japanese Weather Bureau for the
last three mornings has been promising
would strike Toxic before night, each
following morning explaining that it
was stanolng still $50 miles off shore.
Furor Is Peculiar.
A peculiar feature of the furor
created by Stimson'S speech in the
minds Of some here, indicating that the
foreign office stirred up the Yakamashi
itself in furtherance of some deep-laid
political move, was the failure of ver-
nacular newspapers to print news as
sociation reports of the address when
they arrived Monday. While an English
language newspaper printed the re-
por.s, the Japanese did not until the
foreign Office on Tuesday distributed
copies of Debuchis transcript with its
comments expressing Japan's indigna-
ton.
The furry served the purpose of dis
tracing attention from the actual
events in Manchuria or the armys

in Jehol province. A sudden drop in

"I couldn't go and see them, They didn't como to see me and just naturally I didn't pay for that here ring" This was the explain ation of Arthur Jones, 30, of 252 Abbott avenue when brought back . to Waterbury from New Haven last evening to face q charge oi violating the conditional bill of sales aw. His alibi proved per- feet one. Judge T. V. Meyer en- dorsed the recommendation oi Prosecuting Attorney Emil Hum mel that the charge be nolled The complaining firm, a local jew elry store, hag received it's mer- chandise, a diamond ring.
 The reason that Jones failed to keep his promise and make weekly payments was a good one. He was an inmate of the New Haven coun- ty jail and High Sheriff James W. Geddes doesn't approve of any plans whereby prisoner can call for time out" to meet his financial obligations.
 And as Jones claimed, "They didn't come to see me-" As the ring was returned the court de- cided that everybody was satisfied and that there was no necessity of pressing a charge against a man, who has served nearly a year in jail for violation of the narcotic act.
 Some months ago Jones was ap- preached by two young white men and asked as friendly act to supply them with a Title "snow" Jones was slightly acquainted with one of the youths, but as he later stated he had a '"hunch" that the other chap was "bad luck. He

High Honor for
 Giuseppe Trotta
Selected to Paint Canvas
 of Miss Helen Keller

Giuseppe Tr0tta, eminent por- trait painter and native of Watcr- bury has been selected to paint aD immortal canvas of Miss Helen kel. Ter. world renowned deaf and blliid woman. The canvas when finished is for historical purpose.
 To paint Miss Keller is consld- cred by all master painters tho highest honor obtainable. She has been painted many times be- fore and the result has always been --the picture of q blind woman..
 There is a Helen Keller who never could be blind, who sees moro surely than the average per- son, and that courageous spirit which has challenged the admira- ton of the world Is taking form on canvas under the inspiration of Il master artist, Giuseppe Trotta of Flushing, l.. I.
 Trotta's art, combination of the Italian and Spanish schools, has many moods and represents what is declared by critics the best tradition of the old masters.
 Recently a canvas painted by Trotta of Frank J. Loesch, the famous criminal lawyer of Chicago. and who served on President Hoov- CTS crime committee, was pre- vented to the law school of the University of Chicago.
 Giuseppe Trotta's early educa- lion in art was received under the instruction of Hugo Possener and Mrs Minnie R. Steele in Water. bury. In 1910 he won q scholar shin nt the Art Students league of New York where his work attract cd the attentoln of the New York art critics. The following year he Joined the Natoinai Academy of Design, winning tow academy first prizes in one year. one in figure painting and tho other in still life painting. z

M'CLUSKY SLASHES
LEVY FOR SCHOOLS
az Per Cent Cut From That Of
1891 Effected in Sheri-
dan Community

McCluslky. N. D., Oct. 27.-There ha;
been decrease Of AZ per cent in the
tax levy for maintenance and opera
ton Of McClusky schools over the
amount requested last year, according
to figures released by the local board
of education.
The amount Of money allotted fol
teachers salaries has been decreased
Il per cent and janitors' wages have
been lowered % per cent since 1890
Other operating expenses also have
been reduced. School officials main
tain that the system has not beer
seriously handicapped by the econo-
mics adopted.
The levy set to help meet expenses
Of the general fund for the school
year l930-193l was $l9,989 and for the
year 193l-l932 this amount was $40,
COG. For the current year. 1928, a
levy of $l1,920 has been requested.
For the same three-year period
teachers were paid in the amounts OF
$l5,936, $12,50e, and s11,70O respect
lively. It became necessary to reduce
the teaching force by three teachers
and reduce wages.
The total wages paid janitors has
been reduced from $1728 during the
year 1930-31 to 1920 for the present
year
In spite of the fact that the district
asked for levy that represented a
reduction of AZ per cent over last year
the passage of the 50 percent valua-
ton measure at the primaries in June
further reduced this amount. Al
though the district asked for $ll ZOO
the decreased valuation has made
available but $500.
BY re-arranging the schedule in
high school and combining some grade
work, plans have been worked out
whereby the efficiency of the system,
has not been too seriously impaired
However, with very large increase
in school enrolment this year and
no relief anticipated for next year. the
board is faced with serious problem
for 1933-34. Teachers already are
overloaded.
