 of $22,OOO

Belmont, Mass. October 16 = lUP) - Discovery of $22,00O shortage in the accounts of Guy L. Weymouth. town treasurer until he died last summer. stood revealed today by Belmont selectmen.
 Town officials said the audit was incomplete and intimated the fig ure may be higher. The shortage ds believed to have extended over the 13 1-2 years during which Weymouth, World War veteran, bank director and conservator. and one of Belmont's trusted and re- spected citizens, was town treas- urer.
 Announcement of the shortage came after filing in Middlesex probate court of a petition repre- 6enting that Weymouth's estate was insolvent with claims against it of $7.000 by the town of Bel mont. and $11,290 by World War veteran through the United States Veterans administration.
 Executor of Weymouth's estate said assets were $22,282. with lia. bi1itles. including claims against the estate. of $32.0S4.
 Selectmen. in formal state xnent, listed the amounts already dIscovered short in Weymouth's accounts.
 Weymouth formerly was presi- don't of the closed Belmont Trust Company.

 James M. Fawcett,. counsel for Hauptmann, strove to break down the credibility of Osborne's assert ions; asking if that peculiar letter was not sometimes used in Ger man script.

 The argument leading up to Os- borne's disclosure was chiefly con ferned with identification of pecu- liarities. of Hauptmann's writing and their relation to the ransom notes.
 Osborne examined a double fist full of auto registration cards, ran- some notes, promissory note and other writings. all marked as ex- hibits in the case. He fumbled a. round the papers on Justice Ernest E. L. Hammers bench and fre- Quently Ialled 10 reIer to tneH py their exhibit number.
 At last, the Justice interrupted his story of the symbol 'tX" to in- sist that he pick out the exhibits of which he was speaking.
 After much more paving around and considerable show of impa- tience on the judges part. the five exhibits needed were selected. Jus tice Hammer moved the others out of reach. "

RACIAL PREJUDICE
 ABSENT AT Y MICA
C. J. Allen Comments at Membership Dinner /; Red
 Army Vanquishes Blue

"As I look back and compare with the other cities in which l have lived, Waterbury impresses me because of it's utter absence of racial prejudice and creedal dis tinction. It is particularly notice- able in the set-up of the local YMCA,'' said Charles J. Allen, manager of the Conn Light & Pow CT Company, speaking to the cam paigners gathered for their second report in the Annual Enrolment Week of the YMCA.
 General Templeton's Red Army once more were triumphant as they turned in a POS point lead over General T. F. Carmody's Blue forces as the reports were turned in. Running true to form. last nights report dinner was teaming with enthusiasm and side-splitting comedy as the two rival Generals indulged in their rapid fire re- partee, recited poems, told jokes, and generally berated each others respective forces.
 One of the hits of the evening was the singing of a new version of one of the popular song hits with words written by ex-Governor Charles Templeton, which applied to his rival foemen.
 AS predicted last week, Captain Jim Phelan's Lions club team went into first position both for the evening and for the campaign to date. They were awarded the boxes of chocolates as high team for the night and they now have total of over 800 points showing comfortable lead over their near est team rival.
 General Templeton gave a stir ring speech pointing out the char acter building program of the Y. M. c. A., the vital need in the city which is being filled by the Y, and the importance for education for better citizenship.
 The final results showed the Reds with total of AIS members and 4.050 points as compared with the Blue record of 379 members, 3.S42 points. The Reds won by 39 members and POS points.
 The next report dinner will be at 6:15 Wednesday night, when the Victory dinner will herald tho reaching of the goal of 1,40O new members.

New York, Oct 16 x CUP -- Stocks, bonds and grains advanced to-day while the dollar declined. Volume on the stock exchange was double yesterday In the early trading but it slackened later and sales for the day were well under last Thursday when they crossed 1.3O0, ,000 shares.
 Dealings appeared to slacken when the Dow-Jones' averages ap- preached the tops made 5 days ago, although the subsequent pro- fit-taking failed to bring pressure into any section of the list. Gains ranged. to more than 5 points at the highs.
 Silvers made the best showing on the belief the United States treasury would soon be forced to raise it's purchase price for newly mined domestic metal. The latter is now only about 9 cents above the world price for the metal and the Chinese tax on exports leads to the belief the world level will be carried higher. U. s.

ready ne has fiancee in London.
Nobility under these trying cir
cumstances seems the common prop
erty Of wives and intruders into
their home in our modern world.
In last years When Ladies Meet, -
you remember, it was the other
woman who refused to let the man
get a divorce and marry her, because
she liked his wife too much And
men, too, are being pretty handsome
about things. It IS a long cry from
Othello's passionate jealousy to
DOdsworth's tolerant forgiveness.
Perhaps the sight of the three
members Of a triangle in real life
discussing things with entire good
viii nowadays is less rare than we
suspect And there are two con-
illusions you can draw from it.
There is the verdict of the ultra
conservative who look upon this sit
uatiOn as proof of the extreme NOR
al laXity Of the age and an indi-
cation that the husband and wife
never cared much for each other
anyway If they had. they argue,
there would be scenes and bitter
ness and a lot Of very bad manners
shown.
Another Viewpoint
And there is the viewpoint of Just
such modern and liberal husbands
and wives as are passing, in a pa
rade of passionate self-sacrifice,
across our boards. They would put
a different Interpretation upon the
matter
They would tell you, for instance,
that a husband or wife whose pres
ence in your home is not voluntary,
is no earthly good to them They
would urge that common friendship
demands that they should not ruin
the lives of these persons to whom
they happen to be married
And they would further, and more
emphatically, add that if a wife
really loves her husband. her most
sincere wish is for him to be happy,
even if he must leave her and break
up their home to realize that end
That, of course. goes for a husband
too.
Two Points Never to Touch
They are two points Of view which
will never in the world begin to
touch. for they place a different
emphasis on love and its place in
human affairs. One attitude is the
inevitable result of a belief that
marriage gives one rights" over the
other partner. which you would be
spiritlesS to renOunCe.
The self-effacing characters whom
our dramatists have provided feel
that it is an impertinence to try to
dominate any other adult, and that
to preserve a married partners free
dom Of action is the most sCrupulOuS
duty Of a husband or wife. They
want. Of course, to hold their wives
and husbands-but only if the ones
so held" want to stay.
The ethics and etiquette Of
marriage are obviously highly indi-
vidUal matters today. And you had
better find out which side your
young man is on before YOU marry
him

more delightfully."- childish? Evil
IDENTIFY the young man knows very
little about reforms and nothing
at all about husbands. Why
should he? He's probably never
suffered from either.
We can tell him a thing or two
about both. The really astute re-
former never begins at home. She
lets her energies roam at large,
as it were, and the farther away
from the family circle she keeps
her activities the surer she is
of success. All our most out
standing reformers have known
this and acted accordingly.
Husbands are VIGOROUSLY diff
cult to change. Their ideas, espe-
cially when wifely persuasion is
brought to bear upon them, are
immobile, inflexible, even ada
mantine. After several years of
hearing admonitions, recrimina-
tons and tear-drops falling, they
build up a powerful resistance.
Their ears grow deaf. Their
minds close. And so, with care
less scorn, they repeal all moral
invasionS and are needless of eff
forts made to save them from
their own evil ways.
The fact, I suppose, is one of
those safeguards kind nature be-
slows upon us for our protection,
a sort of self preservation instinct.
But I assure the belligerent Two.
Gun man that, if there we're any
possibility of reforming families,
women would never take up out
side causes. It would be so much
more fun doing that sort of thing
at home But fortunately, hus-
bands have to be lived with.
Other men must be reformed.
