Friday, March - Eggs were
continuing to maintain q steady
market position and sell at UNI
changed prices In larger Connecti-
cut trading centers In spite Of re-
ports Of weaker market and lower
prices at leading eastern markets
recently. Most grades OF eggs re-
ceived at New York, whether from
nearby, middle-western or Pacific
coast sections, have gradually
worked down to price levels few
cents lower than a week ago. But
nearby eggs arriving at Connecti-
cut cities have not been as liberal
~ offered as short time earlier
and clearance has been close &C.
cording to most reports.
There are probably several
causes for this closer clearance
recently. Unusually favora Q

the reserve of many fiocks and re-
suited in lighter production than
normal late In the winter. Hatch

contributed to the lighter supply

Most of the utilities engaged

New Haven Gas Light company,
however. plans an expenditure or

purpose of developing new terri
tory, installation OF nearly 1000

himself at Valley Forge some
months ago in which he compared
the difficulties and discouragements
of his situation to the trials that
confronted Washington at Valley
Forge
II have no unkind personal word
to express relative to the president"
he went on. II have pity for him.
With all due regard to his unusual
abilities, the fact remains that he
has proved the most inept, the most
illsuited man who has filled the
presidential chair In fifty years. In
other lines of endeavor a great sue
cess, In this high office he Is a
monumental failure.
"And vet when any democrat
seeks to criticize an official act of
the administration, sin of either
omission or commission, he is ac-
cused by the good DIR Fess of at
tempting to smear' the president
Of the United States.
IF President Hoover Is unpopu-
lar 1t Is not due to propaganda
from the Washington headquarters
of the Democratic National Com
mittee. If President Hoover is re-
garded as a wholly incompetent
president It istnot because Of what
Washington correspondents have
written. 1t Is because of the newt
able impression left by the acts Of
the man himself. It is because of
sifted and balanced Judgment
which the people have formed"
Calling attention to the fact that
1t was only with democratic co..
operation that relief measures were
adopted, Mr. Shouse added
From the very beginning of his
term the president showed himself
wholly incapable Of leading. his
party In the senate and to-day,
with the republicans rifted and d.
vided, the only cohesive force In
that body Is the democratic party.
"If In the senate, as in the house
democratic leadership had set out
| to thwart and to embarrass and to
throttle legislation proposed by the
administration, 1t would not have
been possible TO pass a single one
! of the so-called reconstruction
measures"
Mr. Shouse called attention to cuts
| that already had been made in the
| budget estimates by the democra-
tic majority In the house In It's
F., economy campaign, putting the
amount thus ss.ved SO far at S1l4,-
579,052. He also predicted con-
| solidation Of bureaus and depart
| ments Of the governme nt, but said
Il would be effected by congress and
| not placed In the hands Of the pres
| ident.
The prophecies OF republicans
that "chaos and riot" would char
acterize the democratic National
Convention, Mr. Shouse said, would
| prove to have as little basis In fact
as their prediction OF disorderly
breakdown when 1t became evident
that the democrats would control
the house.
"1n the same hall at Chicago
4 within two weeks of each other the
two conventions will meet" he con
cluded. "Grudgingly, unwilling, sui.

not, Ruth"

"The black has a wild air. It's
low without being low at all.
And it makes me look as If I'm not
quite so many generations re-
moved from Cleopatra"
Ruth talked. Against time.
Sue knew how it was done. She
had tried it often enough. Finally
Sue came down the stairway again.
The fire was burning steadily now.
The sky was much darker The
snow flakes were swirling angrily.
Sue went into the kitchen. The
clocks hands were nearly at
twelve. She supposed that she and
Ruth ought to eat something pref

Neither was Ruth, she knew. Per-

range somehow that she should
budget her expenditures. Despite
Elien's pleas Steven had opened a
generous account for his prospec-
tive mother-in-law and Molly APP
peared to be trying to clear 1t out
as quickly as possible. Already
Molly had managed to fill the
apartment with strange purchases
that apparently had been made
only because she had the money
to make them.
After few feeble efforts Ellen
gave up trying to pound sense into
the pretty little head of the
mother who ever since her six
tenth birthday had been demon
strating her ignorance of life and
her iinfitness to cope with 1t.
Ellen yielded on every point ex-
cept one. She drew the line there
sharply. The argument occurred
when Molly suggested that she
should send a note announcing her
marriage to her aunt Myra.
why should II" Ellen asked
shortly. "She wouldn't be inter-
ested."
"Why, Ellen Rossiter! Your
own aunt"
my own aunt may have sent
us boxes" Ellen interrupted i'm
patiently, but she hasn't written
a line in all those years."
Aren't you going to look her
up when you're In London"
Certainly not!"
"But things are different now, ;"
said Molly.
II believe you want me to look
her up to high-hat her" Ellen
laughed. Confess! Isn't that it?"
Molly hastily denied the allie
CATION, but her cheeks were pink
and she was suspiciously gracious
when Ellen fatty refused to call
on her aunt in London.
Then quickly, oh, so quickly,
the last night of Ellen's girlhood
arrived. 1t was very late when
she and Myra got into bed. Hero
ically they agreed not to talk but
they might as well have for all
the sleep Ellen got. She lay in
the warm darkness, thinking,
thinking.
She was safe tonight, alone, in
But tomorrow night?
Steven wasn't the man she
wanted to marry. She would
have to tell him in the morning.
oh, she couldn't, she couldn't! If
she told him he would go away
very quietly. He was proud but
she would break his heart even
though he hid the deathly hurt.
She would break the heart of a
man who had given her every
thing.
II was too late now. She could
not cause that look to come into
his eyes, that look of utter hui
initiation. She could not tell
Steven that all along she had
been mistaken. If he were a
younger man perhaps-but Steven
was not young. She could not
humiliate him in way thou
sand times worse than she herself
had been Inundated. She knew
what that suffering was. He must
,, be saved from that.
Perhaps she was only nervous.
People talked so. 1t was the dark
ness that frightened her, the
brooding, quiet darkness. If she
could see Steven again She would
not be frightened. She would
know he was kind and gentle.
Toward morning she fell into
anNuneasy sleep.
