On her head was black hat of ancient vintage, she wore a house dreut that was much too short for her tall figure, with, as a gesture of finery, a thin belt about het waist. Her cotton stockings gave evidence of frequent darning and her shoes were definitely passe in style.
 Trembling and shrinking, she heard Judge Mascolo informed that she had been arrested when found in the cellar of West Main street building.
 Have you a home?." the judge asked and she shook her hear.
 Do you work?," and again a nelative nod,

NEW LONDON ASKS
 FOR NEW CHAPEL
Funds for Ice.Breakers to Be Determined Soon
 By PWA

Washington, D. c. - Senator Lonergan, Connecticut, said today that success or failure to obtain public works funds for new im- provements at the New London Coast Guard Academy and for construction of e.breakers, will be determined during the next ten days when the public works ad- minlstration Is expected to make preliminary allocations of the half- billion dollars appropriated by the deficiency appropriation bill.
 A preliminary opinion by board officials indicates that most of the haif-billion dollars will bo distrib- uted among non-federal projects, the senator said. This, he explain ed, would leave only small por- ton to be distributed among fed- eral projects, and he estimated that there were acquisitions before the public works board for nearly billion dollars in. federal projects alone.
 "unless the board decides to al- locate most of the new approprla- ton to strictly federal projects" " the senator said, there will be lit- tie chance for us to obtain all of the items asked by the Coast Guard. The board has taken q pro. llminary view that non-federal projects would be preferable. since the money would be allocated on n loan or grant basis and would be recovered by the government, or would stimulate local loans to match the grants"
 Among the items asked by the Coast Guard for which the senn- tor Is pressing are: S1b0,o0O Tor a new chapel at the New London A Academy; $ilO.000 for a hangar and 96,00O for two nirplanos to teach the Coast Guard cadets in aviation; Sb0, ,OoO for reconditioning the training station at Fort Trum- bull, and S6O0,000 for two ice. breakers for Long Island Sound and ndjacent waters.

 Mixed swimming isn't right he said. 1t is immodest. 1t bringt boys and girls Into close eontae, immorally without tho proper a- mount of clothes on. have seen some evil practices around swim. ming pools whore boys and girls swim together, and if 1 had looked for worse, probably could have found it 1 never have gone in pools where girls arc swimming and have Just as much fun--Jus' us much pep--aS anyone"

Harrington will doubtless amaze his friends by doing this part with an earnestness and sincerity such as have rarely been witnessed on the boards hereabouts.
 Charles J. Allen, in' the role of Solomon FitZmaurice, corrupt, jo- vial and lovable congressman from Long Island, has, in the rehears- als held thus far, given affection ate emphasis to the rich profanity which falls to his lot in the part, and 1t is generally considered that his performance will prove second only to that given by Walter c. Kelley (the Virginia judge) in the New York company. Cong Fitz- maurice doesn't want any graft from the appropriation bill; all he wants is to have the Atlantic fleet spend the summer off Long Island coast to boom his real es- tate development and chain of speakeasies.
 The character of Simeon Gray, portrayed by Judge Walter D. Makepeace, offers an opportunity for unusually delicate handling, as MT Gray is chairman of the ap- propriations committee, who is like this (X) with the president, and represents dignity and rectitude on the committee. Judge Makepeace is reported to be Interpreting the role with great cunning.
 Most of the other characters are congressman, but there are two secretaries of the weaker sex, and one male, to say nothing of a janitor.

So-Called Veterans
 Bonus Vital Issue
Foreign War Representatives Most Interested in I-
 mediate Cash Payment of Service Certificates

Editors Note: This Is the third
 of a series of six stories to ac-
 quaint the citizens of Water

 poses of the Veterans of Foreign
 Wars, of which the Wheeler
 Young Post No POI Is the local
 repreSentatiye.)
 One of the most important ob- jectives of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, the largest organization of overseas veterans in the country, is the im- mediate cash payment of adjusted service certificates otherwise known as the bonus" This ques- tion concerns not only veterans. It is matter of the most vital im- portance to the country at large.
 The present fight for immediate cash payment of adjusted service certificate was actully known as the ''bonus." This question con- cerns not only veterans. It is a matter of the most vital impor- tance to the country at large.
 The present fight for immediate cash payment of adjusted service certificates was actually launched by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States back in 1924 when this organization filed it's protest in Washington against 8 proposed Tombstone" bonus and urged Congress to pay it's debt to the veteran in cash on the same basis that this government dis charged it's wartime obligations to others.

Civic Theater Cast
 To Begin Rehearsals
Director Alan Wallace to Drill Players For Pulitzer
 Prize Play Here February 9th

Director Alan Wallace of the Civic theater of Waterbury today announced the cast he has begun to rehearse for the presentation of Both Your Houses," the 1888 Pull itzer prize play by Maxwell Ander- son, at the Waterbury Women's club Feb and 2. The play, which knocked home runs in New York and on the road last spring, is a cutting satire on congress as 1t functioned prior to the New Deal, and 1t will be remembered that the New York company walked right smack into Washington with the annoying performance and played within earshot of the House Office building while the special session was in progress.
 It is no exaggeration to report that the New York critics literally raved over the production, Gas will be amply proved by excerpts from reviews printed at the time). While some of the timid souls who saw the show professed to be aghast at the frankness of some of the lan- guage. the "hot stuff" is so well timed with the biggest laughs that blushes are lost in the barrage of guffaws.
 The cast-to make a long story shOrt-is as follows: Marjorie Gray, Marion Jones; Bus, Mollie Cullen; Eddie Mister, Joseph Null Cahy: Solomon Fitzmaurice, Charles J. Allen; Mark, William Heyniger; Simeon Gray, Walter Makepeace: Lowering, William w. Vosburgh; Merton, Carl Samans; Dell, Raymond J. Tanning: Sned- en. LeRoy Gibbs; Miss McMurtry, Mrs Jessie Phillips of Watertown; Wingblatt. Charles Leader; Peebles c. Louis Morrison: Farnum, J. Francis Boland: Alan McClean, Jerry Harrington.
 The play concerns the pain and suffering of young Alan MeClean, idealistic congressman from Ne vada, who comes to Washington Ion the level" and discovers his colleagues knee deep in the trough of appropriations. His amaze ment is expressed in a remark he makes in committee, There's pri- vate graft in this bill, MT Chair man." And the other congress- men enjoy hearty laugh. Jerry
