Alice had just been beginning to think
it was rather dull not having anybody

surrounded by a fresh lot of animals,

had five legs, and their square faces had
only one round opening in the middle,
which seemed to be eyes, nose and mouth
all in one. They were very tame and
came quite close and then began opening
their mouths Cor eyes, Alice wasn't quite
sure which to call them and saying:

animals.
These also were quite tame as soon as
they got little encouragement, but she
found that they were more interested in
her past history than in her present ap-

money and added that the credit being given the Mattatuck com- pany for assisting needy men of Waterbury is inflated.
 Clifford Herbst. personnel diree- tor of the Mattatuck Company, and William Hayes, in charge of the new unemployment bureau on Field street. were both talked with in regards to these charges.
 MT Herbst stated that there Is no limit on what men may earn. They ,an still earn between $4 and $4.50, daily, If they are able to make their time.
 "The trouble is," he declared, that the men hired in have been out of work so long that they have lost the knack of buffihg and are slow, The work is piece work. There are men working right along side the new men who are making $4 and $4.50, daily. right now. Some of the men will pick up their old speed and make this. Others are lazy because of their long absence from the factories. However, the charges made are entirely unfounded."
 MT Hayes of the unemployment bureau stated that he had heard of some complaints and added that he would go over the matter with the Mattatuck Company officials. He explained that if the men can not make only between 80 cents and $1.25 a day his bureau will not furnish any more help of this kind. He expressed doubt that there was a limit of $1.25 Q day on the buffers, however.

lea X, new 6,400-horsepower
y craft in which Gar Wood will
defend the Harmsworth Tro-
ply on Lake st. Claire here early in
September, through the rules OF the
competition, is truly an American boat.
No part of the craft may be Of foreign
make, and for this reason Wood was
forced to make several changes in de-
sign. He adopted battery ignition, be-
cause magnetic parts are imported. He
used Michigan, oregon and Philippine
wood, because importation OF materials
for the hull is forbidden.
Four superchargers on the boat are
of American make, and the quartet Of
12-cylinder motors are Detroit-manu-

Likewise, Kaye Don's challenger, Miss
England, III, is constructed of motors,
parts and hull from the products Of
Great Britain's factories and resources.
