Shades Of Jesse
 James 6 The Boys

Police revealed today the story a very polite hOldup man, who walked out of the store which he had come in to rob.
 All was quiet in a South Main street dress shop the other afternoon, with only one customer to disturb the serenity of an autumn after noon. The quiet was not broken with the entrance of shabbily-dressed. gray haired little man, for he walked very meckly and his deinean0r was of the best.
 Timidly the little man walked to the girl who acts as chief clerk. He said. in as menacing a voice as he could muster, but which was squeaky and hesitant despite his efforts, 'sThis is holdup." having said that, the little man did nothing else but stand there.
 The customer looked on with mouth agape. while the timid man, trying hard to look, threatening, put his hand in his pocket. I've = I've got q gum" ne said, much in the manner of a little boy who is NOT going to put those two pennies in his hank but is go. to spend them. No one seemed at all interested In the gun.
 The chief clerk took the of. fensiyc. '1We haven't anything here that you'd want" she said sOothingly.
 ''l guess that's right" said the little man uncertainty.
 Casting one last shy look about the store, the tinid little man. with timid little steps. minced hts way out of the store.

 Survey Made Here
 Following a suggestion from the state department early in August, the Waterbury chapter of the American Federation of Musicians made d comprehensive survey of the number of unemployed in the city, both union and non-union musicians. Officials of the 0rkaili- zation then conferred with William M. Harris, EZRA administrator, de. signed plans for teh formation of an EZRA band, which 1t was afl- nounced would give a series Of pub lie concerts before the coming cold weather, and sent details of the Ar- engagements to the office of the state administrator fof approval.
 Hnrris To Assist

 Plans for the outdoor concerts must necessarily be abandonsd be- cause of the cold weather, but it Is probable that the band will present several indoor concerts. 1t will al- so be available for free perforiii- ances at charitable institutions. and similar work. ~
 The requisittpn for the musicians is the largest received by the local white collar department since its installation here several weeks ago. At Naugatuck, also in charge of the Waterbury office, 27 workers have been placed on EZRA white collar projects this week,

Everyday Psychology

Sensitiveness.

Sensitiveness.
CENSITIVENESS is fundamentally q
- sign of intelligence. And by in
telligence mean an ability to see
what's going on.
Nature carries out q plan whereby
those of its creatures that are des-
tined to live most and to contribute
most must also sense most. Superior
ity is not attainable without sensi-
tivity and irritability. That's why
geniuses, as a rule, suffer from in
somnia, indigestion and sometimes in
sanity. In fact, the much-talked-o OF
insanity of genius" appears to be
nothing other than the Towering out
of a highly sensitive set of nerves.
The behavior Of genius Is bound to
be erratic at times.
The sensitive person is always on
the alert. That's why great painters
see details in a landscape which the
insensitive cannot recognize. even
after they are reproduced. A good
art critic must be an artist himself
so far as the nervous system Is con-
cerned.
The same Is true for the superior
musician. He senses tone differences
that ordinary mortals never detect
And so it goes for every human en-.
deavor. The great men and women
are those who are equipped to detec,
what's going on about them.

House Dress Designed for S SPectator Type
Superior Housewife Would Be
Well Suited by Some Of Its
Outstanding Details.
Effect Is Flattering and Sure to
Avoid Domestic Uniform
Appearance.
RY RARBARA BELL.


Y YOUSE dresses for the Sidelines
are holding the center of in
terest. now that country
i i houses are opening and city
ones are going through the
process of having their dark, Winter
interiors shrouded in the gay, light
coverings of Summer.
We call the house dress sketched
spectator type, for very obviously it
was designed for a superior housewife
one who Is in the executive class.
Fashionably speaking. it Is terribly
smart, in its own way. Look at the
pockets, how big and capable they
are-built to hold as large house
allowance as can be extracted from
headquarters.
The material is cool percale, with
q white background, and plain white
used in the trimming. The collar Is
very new. 1t is made with extra
length, and that length is either plait-
ed or gathered up in a f1uty Jabot
that is secured by button and loop.
The same treatment is similarly used
on the sleeves. The effect is hatter-
ing, and takes the dress out of the
conscientious class.
Dresses of this type are seen in soft
plain ginghams that come in beautiful
tones and are extra smart when sheer
organdy is used for the collar. Cot-
ton broadcloth and madras are used
in frocks that are really going to see
serious service. Most of these fabrics
are preshrunken before they are sold,
which guarantees them against ulti-
mate dissatisfaction in fit. The col
ors, too are, as rule, fadeproof, so
that women are now settling down 10
a true enjoyment of cotton. For the
busy Cor the lazy we recommend
seersucker, which requires, at most,
only pressing.
Barbara Bell pattern No. 1868 is
designed in sizes SO, 38. 40, AZ, A, 46,
48, SO and 50. Size SO requires A.:
yards of 35-inch material, one-half
yard of contrast for collar and tabs.
Every Barbara Bell pattern is ac-
companied by an illustrated guide,
which is easy to follow.
