Appeal Filed
 From Decision
Difference of Opinion Among '45' Card
 Players

Some of the "45" teams that took part in the card game in the basement of the church Of the Immaculate Conception parish Thursday night object to the pub lished statement that St. Patrick s Holy Name society team won first honors and are entitled to be termed champions of Waterbury. They charge that they played among themselves, had no com petitors and that if they want to claim the distinction of champions they will have to try again pit ted against teams from other parts of the city.
 If this be true. there will have to be another contest. for most of the captains take the ground that they will not stand for honors won where there was no com petition except what took place among teams representing the same district. The decision. II such it might rightfuliy be termed, rendered at the Thursday night gathering goes, 1t might not meet with general approval.

danced easily and we'll and Mon- nies small slippered feet followed his steps smoothly. Once he spoke.
 Sorry I don't do these new stunts" She glanced up at him to find he was smiling and in- dicating the performances of two or three young couples dancing historically in the center of the floor. Cheek to cheek, brow to brow, they revolved to the music. Now and then they would break apart and, with arms about each others necks, walk forward slowly wearing the rapt expressions of sleep walkers. It was a spectacle to which Monica was accustomed but, seen with the eyes of this amused newcomer, it suddenly took on new light. She forgot her pain in Dams defection suffi- ciently to smile with him.
 Tt is rather funny. isn't it?"
 He shrugged. "Seems so to me. Is it the very newest?"
 Monnie told him. "The high school girls all do it. My young sister, Kay"
 He interrupted her. "Ah - I was sure you girls must be sis tCIS. oSC llCl CNCiy ooS N'Sh she passes the office.'

 They returned to the subject of Kay. "She's extraordinarily pretty" Eustace said thoughtfully. "Or rather I should say she's beauti- ful. She has a sort of-sort of lum- inous quality about her that's dag zling."
 Monica reflected that Kay would be wild with delight to hear this. Poor child, she had few enough compliments!
 The music stopped and they returned to their seats. Sandra sat back, smiling faintly. Dan, as he rose. wore moody look.
 Monnie pretended not to notice. She felt unaccountably light hearted. Dan Cardigan wasn't the only man in the world. after all! She as foolish to let every chance word of his, every small slight, wound her so deeply.
 Sandra gave her q quizzical look. It was almost as if she interpreted Monnie's heightened color alright. For the first time Monnie felt dis trust of Sandra Lawrence. She hid it, beginning to chatter gayly of nothing at all. Had Sandra planned this encounter, she wondered, un- der the cloak of her gayety? Had Sandra known she was to be at the dancing place with Dan and, know ing. had she brought Charles Eus- tace as a decoy? No, no, the thought was too fantastic! Eus- taco was far too desirable com panion to be used as any woman's S cat's-paw. She was.. she thought, full of strange fancies tonight. Daft was always Dan who in-

 Sandra came rushing into the drug store the next day, quite as if nothing had happened. In the face of her. bright cordiafity Monnie could do nothing. Hadn't she, after all. made the initial step the night before? Hadn't she offered to leave Dan with Sandra going off home with Charles Eus- tace? Oh. she was just fidgety and suspicious. that was all! Sandra was so sweet-you had to trust her.
 "You minx.' sandra exclaimed archly.
 Monnie, wrapping up the box of expensive face powder her friend had charmingly demanded, turned to stare. K.

 Sandra looked more arch than before. her thin. prettily rouged lips smiling mockingly. As if you didn't known

 Monnie flushed. Do you call that bagging him m?'

 She had not said single word about Dan, had, in fact. deiper" ately left his name out of the con- versation. .
 Monnie burned to know what what they had talked about the nigns before. Sandra was her gooo

President of United States Chamber of Commerce Comments Roosevelt for His Advance

Washington. May 3-(UP)-Big business. as represented by Presi- dent Henry l. Hartman of the United States Chamber of Com merce, commended the Roosevelt administration to-day for striking out on new paths in search of so- lutions for the nations problems. Hartman spoke at the opening of the chambers annual conven- ton, attended by outstanding bus mess leaders.
 "Never in the history of the ma tion," Hartman said, "has an ad- ministration more courageously | and fairly attempted to deal with so many and such far-reachine problems.
 undoubtedly mistakes will be I made. Undoubtedly we shall learn | by experiment.. What we do is not 1 irrevocable. We cannot afford not to try for fear that we shall make a misstep, and not strike out be. cause the road to recovery is not clearly marked.
 we may court danger by at. tempting remedies, but we shal surely invite disaster by doins nothing at all"
 Hartman analyZeo most OI tHt measures which have been adopted or put forth by President Roose' welt in his attack on the depres sion. He indicated he regarded them as experiments which the na. tion's condition justified.
 The business leader, however condemned the Black 30-houl week bill and the substitute meas. ure offered by Secretary of Labor Perkins. He also expressed a feai that imitation might run beyond control and prove disastrous.
 As a counter-proposal, Harrimar suggested that minimum wages minimum commodity prices and elastic control of the hours of ia bor be arranged through trade conferences between employers and l workers.
