Jingle Of Register 5 Replaces Blue Songs
Iayerns Experienced Musicess Saturday Night With
 No Apparent Effect on Business

Symphonic jingling of cash reg islers, rhythmic clinking of glasses and the martial beating of em- phatic fists on bars and tables such was the only music as Water- bury's multitude of taverns lived through the first weekend of the liquor commissions new mo music and entertainment" regulations.
 Lack of music, however, from all indications, did not deter weekend customers, for taverns all over the city reported the best weekend of the month. Severaly places report ed that they had lost the trade of number of ardent young couples who deserted them for grills, the next step up in the liquor dispens- ing trade, where there was music and dancing. Increase in the reg ular trade more than made up for this deficit, according to tavern men.
 Kept Busy Turning Dial
 Bartendefs in taverns, in many cases, have grown aged almost overnight since the introduction of the new rules. They have radios on for such broadcasts as news, scores and speeches, but at the first bar of music, they must drop whatever drinks they have Tn hand, rush to the radio an deither turn it off entirely or find some station where talking makes up the program. Some of the white aproned boys complain that they have to spend more time at the dial than at the tap.
 Most pleased with the new rules are the owners of restaurants and grills. who remain completely. un- affected by the regulations. To the liquor commission these places oc- cupy an apparently exalted status, although good many of them are nothing more than taverns with a slightly larger refrigerator.
 Card Playing Popular
 One almost immediate effect of the no-music ruling has been d tremendous growth in the old-time custom of card playing alongside the bar. Since tavern patrons cau- not be entertained with music or singing, they have taken the ini- tiative and gone in for setback, forty-five, rummy and all the other hallowed card games. The regular patrons, who have seen change af- ter change in the last score of years, are philosophical about the new rules, apparently feeling that changes may come and go but beer flows on forever.

 All state police are available and will cooperate in every way to find this child," the governor said as he left the Connor's white clap boarded cottage.
 AS in the unsolved mystery of the Lindbergh baby, scores of clues poured in to police headquarters but none proved of consequence. The mysterious peddler police said they were seeking was seen in Hartsdale Manor Thursday. Sev- eral housewives said they were frightened by his mutteripgs of "ether pills castles and royalty. Police said the peddler apparent ly was near the Connor home short- ly before the child disappeared from deserted road 150 feet from his house.
 Make Ransom Demand
 Capt Christopher Kemmler, In charge of state police, revealed that only one ransom demand had been received. He said it demanded $50 and was written by Bernard Seiden- berg, 19, a former movie usher. Seidenberg was arrested and was arraigned under the so-called Lindbergh Kidnapping law to-day. Police said they were convinced he had no connection with the child's disappearance and merely had seized upon an opportunity to cap- italize on the child's disappearance.
 Mrs Richard H. Murphy, the boys maternal grandmother. in- clined to a belief the child was killed by hit-skip driver and his body secreted. In communica- ton from her home in Bridgeport, Conn, she said: Bobby was, be- lieve, either killed by a hit and run driver or became lost in the woods. don't believe he was Kidnapped. Why should he have been? We are not wealthy and could not pay ransom"
 Bobby's brothers and sisters, Claire, 9, Richard, z, and Cowan, 4, are staying with Mrs Murphy.
 Dogs Are Useless
 Orange. Conn, July 16.-UP)- Leon Whitney, trainer of blood- hounds, expressed the belief that the best trained dog in the world could not pick up the trail of 21- months old Bobby Connor, who disappeared from his Hartsdale Manor home, Thursday night. Whitney pointed out that the old est known trail to have been sue cessfully followed by dogs was 1O5 hours and this unhampered by tracks of searchers or heavy rains.
 He said he had not been asked for dogs in the search and would not put any on the trail at this late hour. However, he said, immedi- ately after the child's disappearance "I could have given them a dozen highly trained dogs if request had been received. To press good dogs into the search at this late hour on a trail covered at the start by many other tracks and soaked bv rain, would simply make fools of the dogs"

We HAVEN'T CHANGED

We thought the government had re-
formed, but our guess apparently was
bad one. We are still doing business at
the old stand when it comes to treating
the American Indian, Judging from
Washington dispatches, received yester-
day.
These advised that some 100000 acres
of poor farm land are to be taken out of
cultivation under the program of the
federal surplus relief corporation.
1t is proposed to give some of this land
10 approximately 100000 Indians who
are without land of their own.
IN other words land which is not con-
sidered good enough for white man to
cultivate is good enough for an Indian.
Indians of Oklahoma, North and South
Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska
and Pacific coast states will be 'bene-
fitted by the new program the dispatches
state. They also advise that many of
these Indians had extensive holdings be-
fore the war. 1t doesn't say what be-
came of these holdings. Perhaps it
would be too shameful to reveal just
what happened to them.
After all these years it would seem as
though we might come to our senses and
give lHe SOIlSlllIllS III llle
of fair break. Giving him land which
We admit is not as good as it might be,
is not extending him fair break.
In view of our past mistreatment of
MIN we at least should be repentant
enough to give the Indian good land.
Passing over bad stuff to him and ex-
pecting him to appreciate it, is indeed a
scurvy sort of trick, of which we cannot
be proud.

PRESIDENT KEEPS FIT

Report that the President is in excel
lent physical condition following almost
a year of extremely strenuous activity,
comes as good news to millions of Amer
leans of all political beliefs.
The Presidents job is a terrific one.
It has been that for years and probably
no other man who has held the office
has done so under more trying condi-
tions than Mr.. Roosevelt.
The nation knows that he labors under
a physical handicap which makes it all
the more remarkable that his condition
is so excellent. His fellow-citizens can
aid him considerably in keeping fit by
refraining from writing thousands of
needless letters to him and by giving him
the cooperation and support which he
asks. We don't have to agree with him
in everything but we can realize that he
is doing his best which is all anyone can
do.

BEDTIME STORIES
BY HOWARD E. GARRIS
Copyright, 1888 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate)

from which the cover had slipped,
Uncle Wiggily saw candy cane.
1t was a cane made of red and
white striped candy twisted around
like the pole in front of a barber
shop. Only this pole didn't whirl
around like TOP.
Hal A candy cane" exclaimed
the rabbit gentleman, sitting down
on an old trunk and taking the
cane in his paws. This brings back
happy memories"
He remembered the time of
Christmas. How the little bunny
children had hurried down stairs
Christmas morning to look at the
tree, gay with lights, ornaments
and presents. And there were many
candy canes hanging on the Christ
mas tree. For this was always done
in Uncle Wiggily's bungalow. Santa
Claus would no more have thought
of not hanging candy canes on Un-
Gle Wiggily's tree than he would OF
not giving his reindeer lollypops for
lunch.
This candy cane must have got
ten in among the Christmas tree
ornaments by mistake said Uncle
Wiggily to himself. Its a wonder
too, with all the boy and girl rab-
bits around, that it wasn't eaten on
Christmas or the day after. Well
I'll take it down stairs and give il
to Baby Bunty."
Uncle Wiggily was just hopping
out of the attic with the candy
cane, intending to come back later
and look for the ice boat, when, all
of a sudden, he heard a sad little
voice saying:
"Oh, he's taking it away!'
Looking toward hole in the attic
floor, Uncle Wiggily saw three cute
little mice looking out at him.
What am I taking away?' asked
the bunny gentleman.
"Our candy cane" squeaked the
largest mouse. "At least we call il
that for we found it here in the
attic and we didn't think anyone
wanted it for it's been here month
so we began to nibble it,
And there's enough candy IN
that cane to last us until Summer,
squeaked the littleSt mouse. Mr.
Longears looked at the cane. Truly
the end bore marks of tiny mouse
teeth.
Here. You may have the camel
laughed Mr.. Longears. Baby Bum
ty will not want it," So he left the
candy for the three mice and they
were very happy. .......
And if the nut cracker doesn't
bite the lollypop stick SO it CAM
play hop-scotch, I'll tell you mex
about Uncle Wiggily's ice boat.

models the Boy Scouts make now.
But from this little boat my rabbit
boys can see how to make larger
one in which they can ride all
around the Duck Pond Ocean," said
Mr.. Longears.
Uncle Wiggily happened to think
of his old iceboat when he looked
out of his bungalow window and
saw, glittering in the sun, the ice OF
the Duck Pond.
THE rabbit boys and girls and
the other animal children will have
fun when they make an ice boat, "
thought the rabbit.
So he was looking around the old
attic in which were stuck away old
chairs, old pieces of beds, trunks,
boxes, bundles Of papers, curtains
that wouldn't go up or down and
many things that Nurse Jane or
Mrs. Longears thought might be
useful some day.
All of a sudden, as Uncle Wiggily
was, in a manner, digging and del
wing in the rubbish of the attic, he
found some boxes of Christmas tree
ornaments and some strings of cleo
trio light wire with tiny bulbs OF red
blue, green, purple, white and gold.
Hal" exclaimed Uncle Wiggily
"The Christmas tree ornaments and
the Christmas tree lights! Nurse
Jane and my wife must have put
them up here, after the holidays, to
keep until next year. 1t will be on
ly about eleven months until it is
Christmas again and the bulbs will
glow on the trees, theo rnaments
will sparkle in the beams of the
colored lights and all will be JOY
and happiness again"
Taking care not to break any Of
the bulbs or the ornaments, Uncle
Wggily looked around the attic fol
the old ice boat. Then, all OF a sud-
den. looking4n a box of ornaments
