- seems possible that
there only remains about half a
month before the jolly old fell
low will be making rounds again.
Two little girls that are well
known in town have made 1t a
custom for several years to tie
a string across the head of
their beds and on the strings
are squares of papers on which
are the number of days to
Christmas. The last thing done
each day is to push one square
of paper to the far side of the
bed, indicating that another day
has gone. The fewer the squares
the greater the glee of the cere-
mony. Happy childhood! Grown
ups are less inclined now, or
at any time, to be so glad about
the passing of the days. And
yet, If the day has been one of
pleasure, one of good deeds and
services for others, the squares
can be pushed over with as
much satisfaction as those of
the little girls.

And speaking of Christmas,
a concentrated effort is being
made to have Milford thing
of beauty for the holidays. Plans
are going along for every one to
have part in doing that very
thing. Prizes are to be given
for the decoration best portray
ing the spirit of Christmas, also
for the prettiest, and the most
unique. Judging will bring the
reward to the proper persons.
Milford, for several years, has:
made the season a gala one
with the lighting downtown and
with the beautiful tree. This
year it promises to be even more
so.

New York, March 31.-(UP)-- Three operators of "cllp joint speak-easy in HelPs Kitchen chose the wrong man to "clip" when they picked on Thomas E. Armstrong, Dallas. Tex. captain of Harvard s 1882 varsity crew. They occupied prison cells today and nursed bruises and aches inflicted when Armstrong led a police squad back to the place and instilled the fear of Harvard into them in addition to wrecking the establishment.
 Armstrong. postgraduate stu dent at the Harvard Business school. was on his way to bus terminal when he met driver who suggested he step into place nearby to sample "our new bcer.' He was taken to a basement speak easy block from the waterfront where he had few drinks.
 Several men in the place then proceeded to rob him of $40 cash and forced him to write several checks, one for $20.OO0. They ques- toned him about his family, and learned he was visiting a cousin, Richard A. Knight, at the St Regis hotel.
 Swell" remarked one of the men. noticeably fumbllng with an object in his coat pocket, "come with us and we'll gee about this rich cousin of yours"
 They forced Armstrong to enter the hotel and borrow money from the cashier. He obtained $10. Then they took him back to the speakeasy.
 Armstrong told his captors the clerk wouldn't give him any money. but they searched him and found the $1O bill. The athlete lashed out with his fists. He was beaten un- conscious.
 At dawn Armstrong found him self fin a tenement hallway. His clothes were torn and he was bleeding from the face and hands. He managed to get back to tho st Regis.
 When Police Commissioner Ed ward F. Mulrooney heard of the robbery, he assigned squad of huskles to the case. Armstrong. , who had been put to bed by physi- clans because he was found to have concussion of the brain, left his sickbed to lead the raid. This time the odds were even. There were four men in tho place when Armstrong and three detec- tives entered. Tho racketeers put up a fight but within n few minutes werc whining for mercy. Police took them to Jail and Armstrong returned 10 bed.
 The men gave their names as Jo- scph Blum. 32. Jack Mason, 20. and Bernardo i,ivora, 3i. The fourth
 man was released for lack of cvi- l dcnce.

|SWEATSHOPS ON CARPET AGAIN
 IN HARTFORD
Woman Leader of Y. w. C. A. Says Boy Friends Have to Support Girls Working There

Hartford, Conn, March 31.- (UP)-Grls employed in sweat shops earn so little they are de- pendent on boy friends for food, clothing and recreation, Mrs Har- old Chapman Bailey, of the Hart ford Y. W. c. A. charged at a hear ing on a minimum wage bill yester- day afternoon. The condition cre- ates a dangerous moral hazard, she said.
 The measure Is sponsored by the state labor department, the Con- sumers league, churchs and welfare organizations. It is opposed by the Connecticut Manufacturers asso- ton.
 Senator Fitzgerald, stating he represented thousands of children working in the sweat shops of Connecticut, displayed check for 51 cents given a girl for 30 hours work.
 "rhe state," he said, "is asked for appropriations for Long Lane Farm and the State Farm for Wo- men, while sweat shop conditions contribute to the downfall of these girls"
 Nelson W. Pickering, Ansonia, a director of the Manufacturers asso- citation said he doubted the success of the plan. No member of the as- sociation, he said, would be affected by the law, or if he were, he would not remain q member. Similar laws have been adopted in 16 states, Pickering said. and In three instances they have been repealed. In four held unconstitutional, and in three others no provision for en- forcement was made.

 10 apply to all industry a strait packet of rigid rules as to hours and days of employment and as to wage"
 Harvey J. Kelly. chairman of the special standing committee of the American Newspaper Publishers Association. said that the 3O-hour bill unless further clarified, would seriously injure the newspaper publishing business. He wanted to know whether the law would apply to editorial workers.
 "If so, how?" he asked. "The work is highly specialized. How for instance would a reporter in vestigating crime story be affect ed by this law. Would it be neces- sary for the publisher to call him in at the end of six hours and as- sign another reporter to pick up the thread of the story where the first man left off?
 'The same problem arises with reference to specialists writing po- litica1, financial and economic sub jects. For instance If either house or senate should stay in session for more than six hours. as both houses frequently do, is a corres- 'pondent in the press gallery to punch time clock when he goes in and then off duty at the end of six hours, even in the midst of an Important speech?
