The board decided to con-
tinue the adult schools and

The babe Tn the woods was found, watching the antics of tiny toad and having a hard battle with the sandman. at twilight yesterday by CCC worker--one of several hundred men who had searched for her throughout the night and day.
 Her golden curls askew. her dimpled cheeks stained with tears. her bare feet' arms and legs scratched by brambles, the two year-old tot reluctantly abandoned her toad and permitted Walter Ainslee of Pawtucket to tote her home to her parents and 10 broth CTS and sisters.
 Mother Marshall was overjoyed when her lost baby was restored to her arms. She hugged and wiss- ed Nancy. The baby said "Baba, !" which her mother explained meant bottle" and Nancy was given a warm bottle which had been heat ing on the kitchen range. Dr Mi,- ton Duckworth examined Nancy. found she was running a slight temperature but otherwise little the worse for her experience, and or. dered her put to bed.

MASS. PRIMARIES
 TO BE EXCITING
Brig Gen Cole and Former Mayor CurIey Are in
 Bitter SquabbIe

Boston, Sept 19.-(UP) Demo cratic leaders to-day predicted a record vote in to-morrow's state primary as Brigadier-Ge Charles H. Cole and Former Mayor James M.. Curley, rivals for the democratic nomination for gover- nor, began final drive for vic- tory. Both candidates pledged support of President Roosevelt and ES3 New Dealepolicies and program and both pinned their hopes on Boston's vote. The bitter battle between the two candidates is ex- pected to attract to the polls al- most double the number of voters in any previous primary.
 In previous years, the state pri- mary vote has been approximately 215,O0O with Boston providing nearly 100000 of the total. Lead CTS predicted, however, that the tenseness of the gubernatroial fight and the unusually large number of candidates for local offices would draw nearly 350,000 constituents to the polls, with the Boston turn out running between 125,000 and 15O,000. On the strength of Gov Ely's endorsement of the conven- tion candidate, western Massachu- sets is expected to throw it's SUD- port to Cole, with close battles looked for in Lynn, Lawrence, Lowell, Cambridge, Haverhill, a. lem and Somerv1lle. Meantime. organization democrats hoped to swing voters of Quincy, Brockton. Fall River, Taunton, New Bedford and Attleboro to Cole.

Frank Buck has nothing on two Brooklyn youngsters. Monday aft ernoon as they were leisurely strolling around between rain drops in an effort to pass a long after noon of nothing-to-do they spotted huge black snake, a little over four feet long along the banks ol the rapidly swelling Naugatuck river.
 The young adventurers hurried ly grabbed two long, heavy branch twigs and followed the reptile ir close pursuit, only to lose out as the venemous creature made its getaway speedily into thickly laden bushes. The lads, Richard Willard IA, of 67 Congress avenue and a young neighbor, Edward Licavi- cius,. 10, of 79 Congress avenue were quite disappointed. but not beaten.
 They made several visits of nc avail to the same spot Tuesday and finally once more glimpsed their long black antagonizer and gave him the "wor' Elated be- yond words with their accomplish. ment the two lads seized the dead victim, placed it in bag and nerv. ously made their w"v to the Dem. ocrat office where their prize was viewed by the editorial staff.

AND
 EMPLOYMENT IS
 ON THE INCREASE
Secretary of Labor Per- kins Gives Figures to
 Show Present Status

Washington. Sept 19- = (UP)- Secretary of Labor Frances Per- kins today pointed to increased employment and payrol!s during August as indication the recovery program is going forward despite labor unrest. According to the labor departments bureau of la bor statistics, factory employment increased one per cent from July to August, and payrolls advanced three per cent. Employment in- creases, the statistical bureau re- ported, were exhibited in 30 of the AS states. Gains ranged from one tenth of one per cent to 13.9 per cent. In Oregon and California the gains were 13.9 and 7.8 per cent, respectively.
 The outstanding employment de- crease was 13.3 per cent in Ala bama, due primarily to a failing off in manufacturing and bitumin- ous coal mining" Fifty-two of 90 manufacturing industries covered by labor department survey, re- ported employment gains during August, and 51 reported payroll increases. The increases weer said to reflect seasonal activity ir clothing, canning, shoes, and a resumption of more normal oper- ations after July shutdowns.
 Among manufacturing industries showing employment increases the food groups reported the most pro- nounced gain. Employment in the transportation declined 5.1 per cent. Payrolls were 6.9 above the July level. The increase in factory employment was estimated at 73,- %, but ewas offset by declines in certain on-manufacturing indus tries, The estimated payroll ad- vance was $1,00O,000 a week.

August S1, will not be heard until. next week. it was indicated today when it was made apparent that court business would prevent the calling of jury this week. Both brothers have elected trial by jury.
 Each has three counts of as- sault against him while Frank is charged also with carrying con- cealed weapons and theft from per son. Yesterday the court reduced the bonds set for John from $5,000 to $2,500 on application of Attorney Thomas R. Fitzsimons of New Haven. who represents both brothers. It is apparent that As- sistant States Attorney William B.. Fitzgerald will try the case because he offered no objection to the bond reduction application when it was presented yesterday afternoon.

They were those of man I am sure. They didn't seem to travel in the di-

 Milwaukee, Sept 19 - (UP)-- Wisconsin today affirmed faith in the democratic new deal, according to incomplete returns from yestcr- days primary. The state two years ago abandoned long standing re- publican allegiance to support Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Representative a b u l a o Ii s showed democrats under Governor Albert G, Schmedeman leading the republicans and progressives in total number of votes cast.
 .Schmedeman-principal target of the campaign waged by the new progressive party under leadership of the. LaFollette brothers-was assured of renomination on the democratic ticket on the basis of early returns.
 c. o. F. After Revenge
 The republicans, although ap- parently failing to reclaim the state from the democrats, sought to heap vengeance upon the progress sives who bolted their ranks after 40 years of attachment.
 The E. O. D. ran the new party close race for second position Tn both the gubernatorial and sena- torial votes.
 Former Governor Philip F. La Toilette, trying to marshal and unite liberals against conserVa- lives, was without opposition for the progressive gubernatorial nom- ination.
 Likewise his brother, Senator Robert M. Lafollette, Jr, had no contest within progressive ranks in his candidacy for return to the senate.
 Howard T. Greene, Genesee Depot dairy farmer and choice Of the state organization, led the re- publican field for governor. For mer Governor Fred R. Zimmerman was close behind.
 Callahan Leads Democrats
 John M. Callahan. former dem- ocratic national committeeman from Milwaukee, led the five can didates for his party's nomination to oppose Senator Lafollette i'll the November election.
 John B. Chapple, Ashland editor, was unopposed for the republican senatorial nomination.
 Senator LaFollette ran slightly ahead of his brother and in the early returns boiled more votes than the combined vote of the five democratic senatorial candidates.

Northheld, Mass, Sept. 19- (UP) A theory that the Rev. El- liott Speer, popular headmaster of Mount Hermon Preparatory school was murdered by an acquaintance, engaged investigators today. It was promised on the disclosut 2 that his shaggy black Newfound- land, leashed only l5 feet from the study window through which the shotgun blast was fired last Friday night, did not bark at the killer. Police reasoned that the slayer must have been recognized by the giant watchdog, for Amy old and a bit ugly, invariably parked a warning of the approach of strangers. according to the Speer family. Another black Newfound- land, Andy" on the opposite side of the spacious campus mansion, slept throughout the excitement attending the crime.
 That Rev. Speer, who had been sitting before the hearth reading a book, was lured to his death. was indicated by belated report of his dying words .I didn't see who was there" He made this re- mark as he reeled from the win dow after q blast of buckshot had shattered his slde. and 1t was heard by his wife as she rushed to his aid, From this police theorized that the slayer, seeking a better target, tossed pebble at the win dow or rapped lightly on the pane with the muzzle of the shotgun to iraw the headmaster within easy range.
 Investigators revised their re- construction of the crime today after establishing that the slaFer did no. pstape via an orchard be- hind the Speer home, as previously believed, but in an opposite direc- tion. toward Memorial Chapel
