their wages. With the recent cut in wages the compensation of a private in the department is about
 $36 a week. Each fireman is pledged to give 50 cents a week to the unemployment fund, which means a weekly check of over s100 to be expended through Will liam M. Harris system.
 \ Some families at the outset of the campaign were reluctant to. ac- cept aid, stating that they did not desire to be considered objects of charity. Chief Henry H. Heit- man and his aides assured them that whatever gifts they received were not intended as charity. It was just part of a cooperative plan to lend d hand during the period of emergency.
 For the mental ease of all fam flies aided by the fire department before the organization of the ufi- employment fund 1t might be add. ed that every record of help given by the firemen has been destroyed.
 We have burned all the records so no one knows now who was given aid. We were satisfied that our little efforts to help were not being wasted and that only deserv- ing families were considered. They are the only ones who know or will ever know anything about it," declared Chief Heitman.
 Giving $10O,000 in two years time will be the record of the Water- bury Fire Mutual association in October. Give the boys a great big hand, Mir and Mrs Public, they deserve it!

.MULCAHY ENTERS
 PLEA OF GUILTY
Bigamist Held for the Superior C0urt-Un-
 able to Get Bail
JAILED TO AWAIT TRIAL

Pleading guilty to the charge of bigamy, Joseph Mulcahy, 49, of this city was ordered held for the next term of superior court when arraigned yesterday before Judge Carl F. Anderson in the police court of Middletown. Tn the de- fault of bonds of $3,000, Mulcahy who was arrested Thursday after noon under the name of Joseph K. James, was taken to the Haddam county jail.
 Muicahy's two wives, the former Theresa Brady of Naugatuck, whom he married 27 years ago and by whom he has eight children, and Miss Mary A. German of Mid- dletown, who married him five years ago, sat side by side in the court when Mulcahy was presented and were greatly moved by the proceedings. Mulcahy's oldest daughter by his first marriage, Miss Ellen Mulcahy, accompanied her mother to court.
 Mulcahy's appearance in the Washington bicentennial parade in Middletown early in June result ed in his exposure, it developed in court Friday. His first wife. whom he had deserted seven years ago, did not know where. he was al- though Waterbury is less than 30 miles from Middletown and their paths might have crossed innum- erable times. On the day of the celebration Mrs Mulcahy visited in Middletown to see the parade and saw her husband among the marchers.
 She saw him short time later and he gave her $10 but contribut- ed nothing since that time so she started action to have him arrested on charge of non-support, re- maining ignorant of his second marriage and the fact he was using an alias. She described him as the man known in Middletown as James and had him brought to police headquarters, where he was questioned in the presence of the two women.
 Both women were greatly shocked by the disclosure and Null cahy himself appeared in a daze, according to the police, when he was, led to a cell, where a close watch was kept on him throughout the night.

FIREMEN DONATE S9,427 TO AID NEEDY
SMALL CIRCUS BROWNS ON CITY
|Sells-FIOtO Not to Show in Waterbury This
 Season
NEARBY TOWNS BENEFIT

Someone has apparently put the jinx sign on the gates of the City of Waterbury with the result this city is getting. the ofiicial eo-by. apparently. of one of the most popular circuses on the road Sells- Floto.
 Hartford. Bridgeport, New Ha- ven and Meridenl will have the privilege of viewing the features and sfdelights of the Great Sells FlOto show>t this year, but to date the advance agent has yet to park his travelling bag in the office of Superintendent of Police Joseph H. Mclean even for courtesy call. The four cities mentioned will have the circus as it's guests within the next week. Waterbury is undoubt- edely off the list of ports of call.
 Years ago the little old Brass Center of the Universe was re- ghrded as one of the best circus towns in New England. If a show planned to make one stop, Water- bury was always favored. Circus agents were prepared to battle the propaganda of merchants, city off, cials Or anyone else for the privil- ege of coming here on a date and day--convenient to them. But now it's different.
 Of lake years it was claimed that there were too many legal attach nients slapped on their properties and the charges made that too many officials and non. .ofiicials de- manded patches of free tickets, but there is only one excuse to ot- fer for the present go-by |. poor business"
 To observant eyes it was appar- ent that on the occasion of the visit of the Ringling Brothers outfit, formerly Barnum & Bailey, the at- tendance was not so hot. The day was. but not the crowd, either in numbers, enthusiasm or generosity.
 The Greater Sells- F1oto, Is con- sidered holding of the "circus trust, so evidently 1t has been de- cided that Waterbury Is not in a position or mood to entertain an- other circus.
 Superintendent Mclean and oth- CTS who come into contact with circus agents heard the statement that the attendance here last June was the poorest the show had played to thus far this year. The troupe was surprised, for Water bury always packed 'em in'.
 Neigh ho! If Waterbury has been forced to sacrifice few of its luxuries. not to mention necessi. ties, within the past two years, whats circus or two. The "cir- GUS trust' just proves itself a sun shine proposition. It wants to be guaranteed the cream, of tha tro 4, or it doesn't ring up.the curtain.

Busy American Ships

In this season when there is. less travel abroad, and when many foreign steamship lines have reduced the number of sailings as well as their rates, it is interesting to learn that there are actually increased bookings on American ships. The Leviathan. for ex- ample. is blessed with 30 per cent mofe passengers this year than last The Amer ican Export Line carried more passengers the first few months of this year than in the entire rush season last year. What does it meant One official says. Americans are beginning to realize that they are not sacri- ficing one iota of personal comfort, pleas ure or safety on the altar of patriotism" when they travel on American ships.
 Another offical believes it is a reaction against foreign campaigns urging nationals of other countries to patronize their home steamship lines as well as their home indus tries. There is just chance, though this is merely a guess. that the American lines have been better advertised in recent years and their new ships are therefore better known.

discussed sII rorts Of things from baseball to the German situation. They were apparent- ly most interested in Amos and Andy. Then the one who had not been there for years said. But what about politicsl" He was greeted by silence. Finally one man spoke up. ''We're not interested in politics" be said politely.
 Little by little. they went on to explain their present political apathy. One said: No matter what the problem is. whether it's prohibition or. foreign debts. or taxes. or how much bushel of oats should weight. each side figures how much it can gain out of doing something about it rather than going ahead and doing something"
 They were fed up on promises. disil- lusioned about promises, completely indjf- ferent to promises. One of them illustrated the general attitude by telling of senatorial candidate in another state. He had run once, and won. by promising all sorts of things. He had failed to deliver. He was beaten in the primaries when he ran this year by a man who promised nothing except that he would use common sense in Washington as he did in his seed business at home. There is hint for political parties, statesmen and public officials generally in this.

Principles and not candidates will decide the attitude of the w. C. IT, U. in the com ing national election, declared Mrs Ella A. Boole at the national convention in Seattle this week. At that rate ex-congressman Willie Upshaw-is going to get large num- Der of dry votes. Of course he really should. He is the only candidate that can be called the exponent of prohibition today. Presi- dent Hoover certainly can't be regarded as favorng continuance of the dry laws after his acceptance speech. And Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt stands squarely be- hind the democratic platform calling for repeal. Hence the only principles that agree with those of the Women's Christian Temperance Union must be those of the prohibition candidate. However, judging from the way various dry speakers. not ne- cessarily members of the w.. C. T. U.. are hedging this week there will be quite few dry votes cast again for President Hoover. There are those who don't believe that he meant what he said in his acceptance speech. The president has been accused of many things Deception is the latest if we are to believe the assertions of the dry leaders who can't believe that their chief has deserted the cause.

A Book a Day
And How She Had to Scheme
 to Get a Man!
by BRUCE CATION

If anyone tells you that the maidens of the Victorians era lived on a higher moral plane-than those of to-day, you might buy a copy of E. M. Delafeld's new novel, Good Mans Love-" and refresh yourself by discovering that 1t just isn't so.
 This novel examines the career of an upper class English girl at the flag end of the Victorian era. and the author concludes:
 That a girl of that class and time thought of nothing at ail' from the moment she made her debut, but how to get man. She never met g man without wondering if she might not entice lhim into matrimony. Every act or her life was designed with that end in view. Sheltered she may have been; innocent of constant thoughts about the opposite sex she certainly was not. r. The heroine of this book has a dismal time of it. She gets one youth on the hook but has to dis card him because he is too poor.
 Then she falls in love with an army officer; but because she in- dulges in a little mild necking with him her good name vanishes. and by the time she gets 1t back both he and her chances of catching an
 eligible young man are gone. In the end, after a decade of worry ling, she finally goes to the altar
 with decrepit and stupid old fos- sil; but she goes gladly, because, as>her mother explains, a Woman's life can only begin after her mar
 riage.

The clerk of probate court in Illinois reveals an odd practice. which seems to be the favorite indoor sport of number of people. It is to write a will, dsposing of a vast. but purely imaginary, fortune. In the musty files of his office are 5000 such documents. One of them was drawn up by convict who made bequests totallng S1,500.000 to a score of heirs. It took the happy heirs several years to convince them selves that it was only practical joke on them. Such wills of course, are real nuisance. They snarl the legal red tape. which is only too easily snarled anyhow. Doubtless some of them set people to squabbling. Perhaps they furnish labor and fees for few lawyers, but that is made quate compensation for the general trouble they cause. If they were along the style of that will printed last week in Tall Tower
