KICKING CALLED PREREQUISITE
 TO GOOD TIME
Young Men and Women of Bridgeport Y. M. C. A. and Y. w. C. A. Gave That Opinion

Bridgeport, Jan 22-UP)-. Necking is prerequisite to "a good time" in the opinion of more than 40 young men and women of the YMCA and YWCA here. Definition of "a good time" was sought at a joint meeting last night of the Hi- Y and TRI-Y clubs of thise organi- Zations.
 Although the majority of boys and firls regarded "necking" as an essential part of good time, they were divided over the question of whether a boy can meet and at tract many girl friends without an automobile. The boys said an automobile was necessity but the girls voted "no". Other ingredients of good time were declared to be athletic contests, boat travel, nov ies, camping, automobiling, riding, skating and friendship with other young people.

$6,OOO Weekly
 in Back Taxes
Mayor Satisfied With Col=
 lectiOns Being Made

Back tax collections during the past few weeks have averaged $6,- 900 daily, it was learned yesterday afternoon at the bl-mOnthly meet ing of the board of finance. Mayor Frank Hayes, who presided at the session, stated that Wednesday s deposit by the tax collector was $1O,O00. He expressed satisfaction with the way in which the per- sons liable for taxes are paying up but at the same time stressed the point that the drive must be kept up in order to get all the money due the city into the treasury. For the past year there is still uncollected $864,367. Tax levied for 1881 amounted to $5,978,015. On the 1880 list there is still due $364,647 out of total levy of &C., 7O0,O25. On the 1929 list there is still S121,331 to collect out of a total levy of $5,410,6S5. This makes a total of over $1,300,000 due in back taxes for the past three years.
 At yesterdays meeting the sum of $31,134 was placed in the sur plus resource sinking fund, repre- senting receipts on back taxes col lected during the past two weeks. Of this sum $17,064 was collected in the first district and $14,070 in the second district.
 The park commission reported that the total in the Hamilton park sinking fund is now $l5,546.45. Under the provisions setting up the sinking fund anything over $15,0OO in the fund can be used for other park work. Controller Daniel J. Leary asked the board if he would have to get any special authority to withdraw the surplus and apply it to park work expenses. It was decided to get an opinion from the corpora tion counsel.
 Funds are available, Controller Leary reported, for the installation of a sewer in Dixie avenue at a cost of $6,100. The information was ordered conveyed to the alder men.
 Mayor Hayes told the board that only one teacher in the city has refused to sign the waiver permit ting 10 per cent cut in her sal- ary. All other teachers and city employees agreed to this economy step. The city had to get waivers from the teachers because they work on salary set by contracts signed last year.

Wife Came to Sad
 End After Husband Had Been Dep0rted

Chicago. Jan 22-(UP)- The death of Mrs Mathilda Henchert, 36. Respondent wife of a deported former Austrian army officer sought all night to achieve despite the pleadings of their 13-year-old xIauEhter, was closing in on her ns she lay in a hospital.
 { Minnie, the daughter. will sur <ivO the burns she suffered when a. terrific explosion roared out in their gas-filled apartment. lroni- cally, the explosion was caused, firemen said, when a neighbor pressed the door bell of the Hench- ert apartment after being aroused by barking of a Pomeranian dog made uneasy by the gas fumes. The spark from the doorbell ignit- cd the gas. .
 Mother kept jumping out of bed last night and turning on the gas jets," Minnie said from her hospital cot. "She was tired of living. We've had So much trouble. Father was sent back to Austria and they say he's in an asylum over there now.
 Mother kept crying, Minnie, I can't stand it any longer
 "I argued as hard as 1 could. Every time she turned on the jets, I'd get up and turn them off.
 Finally l went to sleep. The next thing I knew was the terrible noise and the fire.'

rites were said over the body of Saul Weiner, war veteran and mer- chant slain by a bandit during a holdup of his store.
 A military escort made up Of men who fought in France with Weiner stood ready to escort the casket to the caisson, which they declared will be the hearse. A member of the Yarmo-Devere post of the American Legion was ap- pointed to drive.
 "If the funeral drivers want to attack an army caisson bearing the body of an ex-soldier, let them come on; we're ready" was the legionnaires' ultimatum.
 Aclash between an American Legion firing squad from John J. McShane post and union funeral drivers was narrowly averted by police yesterday. The firing squad, accompanying the body of Edwar l Riley. crippled war veteran, to the burial place, stood firm when funeral drivers ordered them to leave the cortege.

Market Started Off Well But It Couldn't
 Keep Up The Rise
Steel Common Lost Its Grip and the Other Shares Felt
 It-RaiIs Failed in the Afternoon

aided by special buying in the rail- road section on hopes of an early adjustment of wage differences be- tween railroad leaders and union officials at theor meeting at Chi cago.
 Strength in rails faded in the early afternoon, however, and the entire list quickly lost its early gains and sunk to new lows for the session around-mid afternoon. Pressure was not heavy but selling operations were aided by an almost complete absence of important out side buying power.
 Steel common, to which most traders look upon for market lead ership, was disappointing and was an important factor in the failure of the list to follow through after it's early advance. After rising fractionally at the opening to 46A the issue lost nearly 2 points to A 3-8 and then recovered moder- ately.
 PICK UP TWO
 Speculative interest was at a low ebb, recent price movements being so small as to discourage floor traders from even trying for HOur-tO-nOur swings. Wltn tracing of this character the principal moving spirit behind the market recently, absence of these dealings made for extremely dull trading.
 Tickers barely moved during the afternoon and changes were insig- nlficant. Sales to 1880 amounted to 900,000 shares, moderate in crease over the S00,00O shares in the corresponding period of the previous session.
 Dow-Jones averages to 1880 showed the industrial compilation at SIPS, a loss of 2.14 points; rail- roads at 40.64, 8 loss of OPS point and utilities at 32.92, a loss of 0.45 roint.
