Washington, May Is = (UP)- Living in the White House has inn proved the before-breakfast dis position of President Roosevelt.
 An early visitor sat outside the presidents bedroom door and heard repeated outbreaks of pres idential laughter during break fast conference.
 Those who have been associated with Mir Roosevelt for years com mented that he has changed since coming to Washington. Before then no one dared approach him before he had had all the coffee he wanted adn had finished read ing the morning newspapers.
 Now, they report, he is cheerful from the time he wakes up and can see a joke at breakfast as well as at any other hour of the day.
 Mrs Roosevelt drives her own car, but she never makes long trips alone because driving makes her sleepy.
 An incident of Mrs Roosevelt's motor tour in upstate New York came to light today. When she reached Massena all the children in town seemed to be gathered to meet her. She awoke late the next morning and was told that small boy had been on the door step since a. m., insisting that he had to see her.
 After breakfasting, Mrs Roose- welt went out to see the boy and I've had a tolk,' as she puts it in her characteristic recognition of the dignity of children and her habit of never talking down" to them.
 The boy then went away, but presently returned with three friends, who also had to see her. She had a talk" with them. too.
 Messena was the only place or the trip where she was greeted on arrival. The people at Watertown had learned in advance of her coming, but she skirted the city Tn a friends car.
 She was recognized practically everywhere, but because nobody except at Watertown and Massena knew when she was arriving she was able to drive in unheralded and see her friends quietly as she had planned.

 Other witnesses yesterday were Nelson Bearse of Centreville. state surveyor, who showed sketches of the route of the alleged kidnapers and the places where the girl was imprisoned; and William Lee, part ner of the girls father in a boat building concern. who acted as spokesman for the child's parents during negotiations for her return.
 Police Chief E. E. Hall of Har- wich. Daniel Needham, state con- missioner of public safety, Neil c. McMath, father of Peggy. and sev- eral others were expected to ap- pear before the grand jury to-day.

 To-day

is making a careful analysis of the organs of the deceased, but there is little hope of obtaining definite information.
 Coroner Monzani is taking of ficial cognizance of the case owing to the circumstances of the death. It is possible that the official find- ing may be that death was due to an overdose of heart stimulant. MT Kazemekas was taken violently ill and became nauseated before his physician was called in and ordered his removal to the hospital. When admitted to the institution he was in convulsions. His illness de- veloped into pneumonia.
 The funeral of the late banker was held to-day from his residence, 15 City Hill street, to St Mary's church, Naugatuck. Burial was in Calvary cemetery, this city.
 MT KaZemekas was a native of Lithuania. He was factory hand before becoming engaged in the banking business and a steamship agency.

 The "toot .toot' of the whistle may eventually keep drivers and pedestrians alert for the change in lights, but judging from all re- ports the first 100 hours will be the hardest.
 The automatic whistle is on top of the police standard on the southwest corner of Exchange Place. Another will be installed shortly at the intersection of South Main and Grand streets. They are only here on trial. If the police find that they are popular or efff- cient the city may purchase them from a Glens Falls, N. r., concern.

} what must come from inflated
sales, uncontrolled production,
concentration of wealth. We
have not reckoned up the cost
of our Stiffness, our selfishneSS,
our stupidity, our lazinesS, our
inhumanity.
And now the day of reckoning
is at hand. And these young
sters must pay the bill-the bill
WE ran up!
And if it were only a ques-
ton of paying it in dollars and
cents, that would be unfair
enough. But they must pay it
in something infinitely more
precious than money-in collat-
eral which can never be re-
deemed.
They must pay OUR bill with
blighted dreams and broken
hearts; with foiled ambition and
frustrated romance; with twisted
minds and starved bodies and
warped souls.
WE'RE to blame. We allowed
this world to drift into the
mess it is in. We engaged in
that war. We permitted that
cancerous development of capi-
talism. We legalized the devilish
stupidity of the Eighteenth
Amendment. We built the ma
chine Frankenstein. And THEY
must pay-because WE ran
amuck.

knows just where We get off,

want our advice. Friendliness;
that's what he needs. Love
and understanding and service
and fair play. Give him that,

JOURNEYS IN BRIEF
By Temple Manning

If you have ever spent any
length of time in Egypt you
will know the truth of the spell
and fascination that that land
casts on every visitor.
1t is impossible to see the
moon without thinking longingly
of those gorgeous desert nights,
with the Sphinx and the pyra-
midS bathed in the most silvery
radiance in the world. The lure
of the desert is potent, even if
one can take . trolley to the
Sphinx.
It is grand to make up a
desert camping party, leaving
all the details to the dragoman,
who will see to the tents,
camels, etc. To pitch camp at
sunset to enjoy a simple meal
and then go to sleep after gaz-
ing into the starry Egyptian
heavens is an unforgettable ex-
perlence that I hope to enjoy
soon again.
Cairo is amazingly cosmopoli-
tan and yet is typically native.
Sit on the terrace of Shepherds
in the season, and you will
watch a thrilling international
pageant that you will always re-
member. Go out to the Mena
House and you'll find another
crowd. But stroll through the
Mousky, through Cairo's native
quarter, and you'll find the real
charm of the town.
From Cairo itself you can
even walk into the desert, for
the plateau right behind the
citadel is easily accessible. But
of course you will always go
back and back again to the
Sphinx and the pyramid, those
strange monuments of Egypt's
greatness that are most elo-
quent in their grim, stony
silence.

Pleads for Fund

The ultraconservative, or

features of the report to dis
please them. It's conclusion
that "a solvent unemploy-

mitigate the distress which
many now suffer before find
ing new openings and that
an extension of old-age pen
sions to care for victims of
progress may bulk large in
future discussions" F." is inter-
esting. 1t is possible to
quarrel with the word
progress" as here used.
Anything in the way of
change which increases the
living difficulties of an ap-
preciable number of human
beings is not progress. But
