IS Sponsor a Child"
 Urges Lions Club
Will Send Child to Summer Farm For One Week;
 Prominent Citizens Boost Campaign

, tribute now to the 'sponsore a child" plan is most agreeable. Pledges and cheeks should be sent to Merwin S. Bronson, treasurer, 1S7 Bank street.
 Public Urged
 In the meantime the appeal to the public to respond to this worthy cause will be continued by radio, press, by mail and by personal so- licitation. Eugene E. Beadle, chair man of the general committee, told the members that the club must not fail; that i was he obligation of every member to put the drive over for a score or more of chil- dren in dire need of sunshine, good food, recreation ail country en- vironment already are looking for ward to spending few weeks at the Lions children's health farm.
 The Waterbury Druggists asso- citation voted the other day to sup port the Lions and every drug store in the city is now displaying win- dow plaeards and offering ball tickets for sale. Speakers at the druggists meeting said that the pharmacists know too we'll that the work of the Lions club is impor- tant; as professional men they come in contact with tragic cases and the Lions farm is just the thing needed to win back to health scores of boys and girls.
 Team captains reported today and exhorted their workers to speed up the campaign. Two more report meetings will be held, Tues day night at the YMCA and again next Thursday at the Elton.
 Larson Speaks
 Andrew M. Larson, division com mander, reminded the club mem- bers that no contributions are too small or two large. He said a dol- lar is just as acceptable as ten but he hoped more people would give tens and more. Harry x. Cashin reported that the Worden company had donated time on Radio Sta- tion WIXBS to broadcast appeals for funds and that the local thea ters had donated trailers to run with next weeks film programs, carrying 8 message to theater- goers and urging them to con- tribute at once.

 She then described how she came upon the body of the dying head master at the foot of the stairs. Mrs Speer was with him, she said. Mrs George said she held the vic- tim in her arms and gave him lemon juice and water brought. by Mrs Speer. The latter, sha said tried to bathe the mortal wounds.
 Twenty minutes after the shot was fired, Mrs George said, Rev Speer was dead.
 Mrs George testified to-day for 40 minutes and was replaced on the witness stand by her husband. George had gone to town on the night of the murder and did not return until after the slaying.
 The 18th witness was Miss Ste phanie Wozhiak, attractive blonde maid at the Speer home, who tes- tlfied for 35 minutes.
 Following her was M. David Birdsall, purchasing agent for Mount Hermon school. Birdsall and his wife live within 200 yards of the scene of the crime. They were perhaps the closest friends of the victim. Birdsall was the first outsider to reach the house after the killing. It was he who first notified police at s:48 p. rn., 2s minutes after the shooting.

OLD MAID BETTER
 THAN BACHELOR

Weston, Conn.,, Dec. 6-(UP)- An old maid is of more benefit to a community than a bachelor three male judges at Norfie,d Grange debate have decided.
 The debate, held last night brought together two women from Trumbull Grange and two men from Ridgefield Grange.
 The bachelors contended that old maids gossip too much, talk lot and say nothing, are jealous of their youngers and not tolerant of youth.
 The old amids were defended as offering constructive criticism in the community, even if they do gossip and criticize unrestrained.
 They pointed out that such out standing women as Mrs. Cora Tucker, pr. Mary E. Woolsey. pres ident of Mt. Holyoke college, Jane Addams. Clara Barton, Edith Ca- bell and Florence Nightingale, never married.
 The judges admitted rendering a 'left-handed" decision but con- tended the women offered more re- search in their arguments.

CANADA ATTACHES $lO,OOO ACCOUNT
Retired Mariner Fights Ex- tradition = Defrauding
 Government Charged

Manchester, N. H., Dec 6-fUPl The Dominion of Canada has at- tached the $10,000 Newark, N. J., bank account of Captain Freeman Hatfield, retired Canadian mariner fighting extradition to the dominion to stand trial on a charge of de- frauding his government of $71,- PIT, 1t was learned today. His safe deposit box also has been sealed.
 Hatfield was lodged in Hillsboro county jail when bail was denied yesterday, shortly after his arrest by a U. S. marshal and Royal Canadian mounted policeman.
 He is accused of falsely obtain ing reparations for the sinking of his vessel, the Gypsum Queen, off the coast of Ireland during the World war. Hatfield said the ves- sel, was torpedoed. The. govern meht contends it sunk during a storm, and therefore he falsely ob- tained reparations in conspiracy with Hance J. Logan.
 Hatfield's claim was approved in 1890 under an illegal warfare clause. The Canadian government subsequently, decided the claim was false, arrested Logan and sought Hatfield for two years until he was arrested on his Canadian farm yes- terday.

The judgships and county commissioner posts have long been regarded as the real political patronage. One party can't do without the other if they expect to accomplish anything. Regard ing the deal it is not felt there is any stigma attached to swapping support, such as during the last term"
 With regard to harmony between the two parties it also became known that an important $15.000 a year democratic appointment was being considered which would necessitate a workable arrange ment between leaders.
 so far as could be learned the "dear' was limited only to the mentioned appointments, although there was expected to be an un- derstanding regarding reappoint- ment of several republicans now holding responsible state offices who are threatened with being re- lieved as result of the sweeping democratic victory on the entire state ticket last month.

 Possibly by coincidence, the grave dispatches regarding the Jugoslavian Hungarian situation were interpolated with others tell ing of moves by three countries, all intimately concerned, to in- crease thei rarmed strength. Hungary's. government was re- ported to have decided to present identic demands at Geneva, Paris, London and Rome demanding the right to rearm on the ground thnt Austria and Germany, its World war allies, were doing so.
 The parliament of Czechoslo- vakia, fellow member with Jugo. slavia and Rumania of the little entente, passed a bill extending the term of military service to two years. The Rumanian government decided to introduce special arm- ament taxation totaling 2,500.00O,- 900 lei ($25.250.000) to be used in the national defense.
 Before Hungarian Minister Won Alth left Belgrade he protested vainly to the foreign office against the -expulsions.
 "This is the affair of the minis- trfy of the interior" he was told.
 Premier Goemboes, as well as summoning Won Alth, sent Foreign Minister Koloman de Kanya to Geneva to protest to the league council there that the expulsions were uIwarranted and indefensible. Many De Kanya was told to say, foreswore Hungarian nationality and became Jugoslavian subjects when World war peace treaties changed the frontiers.
 United Press correspondents at Soubotica, on the Hungarian frontier, said that it and other towns presented some of the most pitiful dramas in the history of postwar Europe.
 These stories were supplemented by witnesses who reached Vienna.

NOOpyFlSBts AWO4s Dy OUlttU EFcsSI Vienna, Dec 6-(UP)--Mass ex- pulsions of Hungarians from Jugo- slavia in reprisal for the assassina- ton of King Alexander brought those countries to the verge of an open break today.
 By dozens, scores and hundreds, frightened groups of men. women and children from dotards to babies in arms were sent to the Hunga- rian frontier, torn from their homes because Jugoslavia holds that Hungary sheltered the terror

HIGH STANDARDS

You can go into some factories
and workshops, and find a general
spirit Of letting everything slip
through. This idea seems to be to
cut costs to the limit. without
much thought about the quality of
the goods. Either the owners and
managers are in too much of a
hurry to get rich quick, or else
they are depending on producing
goods at too low a price.
And in other shops and factories,
the idea seems to be hat nothing
shall be allowed to go out unless it
is up to certain standards. 1t must
make good. or the reputation of the
place will suffer. The same differ
ence is found in farms. While
some farmers are content to market
any kind of stuff, others try to OBJ
tain a reputation for the best pro-
ducts. When a community gets a
reputation for turning out pro-
ducts of high standard, the future
of that place is secure for people
will keep coming to it.

WANDERING BOYS

Investigators who inquired into
the ideas of the wandering boys
whom they found in hobo resortss
near St. Louis, learned that more
than half left home because they
desired adventure, or wanted to
see the sights.
How can that desire, which the
majority of boys feel to some ex-
tent, be so restrained that it will
not lead these restless youngsters
to set out On the. dreary and de-
grading life of thesroad? One way
is to see to it that such boys under
stand clearly that the life of ad-
venture is one of hardship and suf-
fering. Let the boy understand
that the adventurer on the road
must go hungry, he must often be
cold and weary, he will have te
meet the world while dressed in
rags. Perhaps then good home
cooking and a soft bed will look
better to him.

HOW CHEAP IS HOUSEHOLD
ELECTRICITY?

On the theory that a penny saw.
ed is a penny earned, electricity II
the home is a money-maker-a fact
that a great many Of its users DOM
realize.
This is the argument Of Freder.
lex W. Crone, in an article in Pub.
lie Utilities Fortnightly. He back
it up with illustrations of. the saw
ings that accrue when electricity
is used for ordinary household task:
in the place of older, less efficien,
agents. -.
Experiments show that fifty
good-sized candles have the same
Illuminating value as one 5o-watt
mazda lamp. At five cents each,
burning for five and three quarters
hours, they cost $3.50. The So
watt lamp, burning the same length
of time, at six cents per killowatt
hour, costs one and three-quarters
cents.
Another test demonstrated that
it took two hours and ten minutes
to sweep certain rooms with a
broom, and at the finish the sweep
err was exhausted. A vacuum
cleaner did the same. work more
efficiently in 40 minutes, at a cost
of less than a cent. with little the
same work more efficiently in A
minutes, at a cost of less than q
cent, with little exertion on the
part of the operator. Figure the
price of household labor in your
locality, and you have the saving
-effedled there.
A quantity of clothes were wash
ed by hand, in three hours and fiji
teen minutes. A washing machine
did the the same job better in one
hour, at a current cost of slightly
nor than a cent. Figuring labor
at 40 cents an hour, a saving of
nearly a dollar is made in that
common instance.
Other examples will come to the
mind of tho housekeeper. Electric
ity isn't only a tiny item in the
family budget-it really saves and
makes money.

HELPING G U
I O

Construction is now underway
on billiard University, a $2,ooo,o0
institution for Negroes, in New
Orleans. 1t is to be- one of four
great centers of education for COL
ored people and represents the
merging of three institutions. .
billiard University is named in
memory of DIR. James H. billiard, a
white man. who resigned the dean
ship Of Tulane University to devote
the last twenty years of his life to
the cause of Negro education. 1t
is sponsored by the American. Mis-
sionory Association of the Congre-
gational Church, the Methodist
Church, the Methodist Episcopal
|Church's Board of Education, the
General Education Board and the
Rosenwald Fund. .
The proper education of Negroes
in the United States is somewhat
of a problem in the South where
even the white population does not
enjoy equal educational facilities
with those of other sections. To
give to all Negro children a sat
isfactory education requires the as
sistance of other people, especially
those in other states. where few
Negroes live, and who, profess ad-
miration and love for, the children
of former slaves. ...r5
In fact, the United States gov.
eminent, now spending vast sums
of money for many good causes,
could with profit, set aside a con-
siderable amount for the extension
of educational facilities for Negroes
in the South. The Rosenwald Fund
has done much good along this line
but the need is great and the field
uncrowded. .

WHERE'S THE RAIN

WHERE'S THE AIN MAKERS:
What's the matter with the old
time rain-makers?
Here we have the Middle West
parching for months. offering the
biggest of opportunities for the pro-
fessors, and not one of them shows
up to demonstrate his power and
relieve suffering crops and animals.
Older residents of Salisbury will
remember the gentry. They came
into sun-baked areas, with fine
spun theories of the upper air and
moisture, and often with guns,
kites balloons and other parapher-
malta to be used in their mystic

Sometimes luck stayed with them
and shortly after their lamentations
rain fell. Often the citizenry be-
lieved in their magic and crossed
their palms with silvet contribu-
tons. Today. however, the pro-
fession has faded, because people are
more intelligent or the present
surpasses their power.

HOME TOWN THOUGHTS

If you do no work in your gar
den, it will be full of weeds. If
you and your neighbors do no work
for your home town, you car ex-
pept things to develop that you
won't like.
When you spend money at home,
helps employ your own towns
people, when you spend it some
where else, your townspeople get no
benefit from it.
A politician can't get elected
without stating the reason why he
should get the votes. How can a
business expect to be elected to sue
cess, unless. it tells the people the
reasons why it should be patroniz-
ed?
