|LEVITT'S WEES
 CASE CONTINUED
Violation of Bristol Ordi= nance Termed Publicity
 Stunt By Attorney

Bristol, Nov. 6-Despite the ob- jections of Albert P. Levitt of Bedding. Independent Citizens party nominee for congress, Judge Joseph P. O'Connell in police court Monday morning continued the case of Levitt's wife, Elsie M. Hill, who is charged with violating a city ordinance prohibiting distri- button of literature of an advertis- ing nature on the streets of the city.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Edward J. Quinlan requested that the case be continued and MT. Le- witt objected. Judge O'Connell con- tinued the case until Wednesday morning. ,
 In court MT. Levitt claimed that if the ordinance is interpreted ex- actly not single newspaper can be sold on the street as they con- tain advertising matter.
 He also claimed that his wife was not violating the ordinance but was enjoying the constitutional right of freedom of speech, as such literature was passed. out at the polls on election, day..
 Judge O'Connell said that by passing out the literature a candi- date and not bread or another commodity was being advertised, and said that the giving out of the literature was violation of the charter enactment.
 George w.. Hull, told the court that he objected to a statement by the prosecuting attorney that MT. Levitt and himself were staging a publicity stunt. He said he did not know the Levitts were in Bristol until notified. of the arrest and that his whole interest in the matter was "the preservation of political freedom in Bristol" sa
 MT. Hull said Sunday that unless the City of Bristol admitted that in arresting Miss Hill, if wrongly interpreted the ordinance, Mr. Lev itt would bring suit against the City for false arrest and would sue Sergeant Henry Jeglinski for as- saulting his wife while arresting her.
 He also said that MT. Quinlan had told him he could notify M1. Levitt that the case was dropped and that his wife need not appear in court Monday morning.
 Attorney Quinlan denied that the case was dropped and said that he agreed to continue it at the request of MT. Hull. He also termed the whole affair publicity stunt ar- ranged by MT. Hull and MT. Levitt.

STEEL PLANTS SET
STILL FASTER PACE
Activity Average Rises Two
More Points to So Per
Cent Capacity.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 2.-Steel pro-
duction has made another gain in the
last week, rising 2 points to So per
cent of capacity or close to last July's
top, Iron Age said today
The rate of expansion, the review
stated, was retarded by labor diff
cultieS in automobile plants which re-
suited in temporary suspension of steel
shipments.
Just how high the rate will 60 is
a matter of conjecture. The assump-
ton that large part of recent con-
tract coverage represents speculative
tonnage and that output will neces-
sarily suffer sharp drop after the
completion of this quarter may not be
entirely justified.
specifications to date have been
large but they have not come up to
expectations. III fact, considerable
tonnage in the aggregate was can
celed on May because April quotas
were not fully ,ecified. Unless re-
leases mount rapidly in the next Is
days mills will find it physically i'm
possible TO turn out all of the tonnage
covered by contracts before June 30.
April pig iron production was II per
cent above March and reached the
highest rate since last August. A fur
ther expansion for May is indicated
by net increase of 13 active blast
furnaces since April l. Total pig iron
output last month was 1,754,647 tons,
against 1,619,524 in March.
April automobile output is believed
to have totaled 900 units and May
production is expected to reach at
least 375,000, although manufacturers
are commencing to be disturbed by
indications that their price boosts have
retarded sales.
Declines at Pittsburgh, Chicago and
Philadelphia have caused the Iron
Age scrap composite to recede from
$1242 to $1217 a ton. The going into
effect of additional advances mas
raised the pig iron composite from
Sl7.57 to $3.50 ton. The finished
steel composite is unchanged at 1922
cents a pound"

The Old Gardener Says:

Most garden makers with small
places think that they have too
little room for growing squashes,
but it is quite possible to make
the hills along the sides of the
garden and let the plants run
over the grass or perhaps against
a trellis or on the fence. Delici-
GUS is the outstanding variety for
the home garden, being very
sweet and keeping we'll. Des
Moines is a very small. pear
shaped kind which can be served
for individual portions when cut
in half. The English vegetable
marrow is closely related to the
squash and is an excellent vege-
table for late Summer use. There
are several different varieties.
with which the garden maker
ought to become better ac-
quainted.
So many young trees and shrubs
were killed the past Winter that
extensive requirements will be
necessary. The planting should
be done in most instances as
early as possible, but this is
much more important with de-
ciduous plants than with ever
green's. The planting of the lat
ter can be left until late in the
Spring. Early planting is also
needed for fruit trees, because
then they get a good start before
the hot weather comes. Garden
makers will do well to study the
catalogs and choose some of the
newer shrubs for this Springs
planting

course he is rather a trial with his

but his wife is quite caracter, I'm
