that we are like children among the family Of

IN the sweet, impractical theories implanted by

This is indictment of the American
woman-for I firmly believe she is among the

dominate spheres Of life for which a female

Some day we Americans'must face the facts
and, kindly but firmly, restore woman to her

must cease to think of women as goddeSseS but
view them as human beings, with the same
faults and virtues as themselves

~ NCE upon time, as every woman
knows Sir Walter Raleigh put his
perfectly good cloak right down on
\ the sidewalk so Queen Elizabeth
wouldn't get her Slippers spotted
when she stepped across a mud
puddle.
OF course the British Queen was a sizable
monarch and the gallant knight in his velvet
cloak wasn't known for his feats of strength.
He probably just couldn't lift her.
So since he had nice manners, he spread
his cloak.
Ever since that foggy day in London men
have been doing precisely the same thing Now
they would like to keep on their coats, put their
hands in their pockets and whistle song of
freedom.
Men, to be blunt, want equal rights They
are not having them, they say. Just because
they are trying to act like gentlemen they are
supposed to pay excessive alimony, make breach
of promise settlements and buy tickets for the
opera when they can only afford a movie.

girls have their desks in the business world and

 There is still great fear of planned economy and its results. Shall planned economy, with curtailment of production and reduced standard of living. replace the philosophy of plenty which advanced the country to levels of general prosperity known nowhere else in the world? Our average standard of living is the sum total of all the goods and ser- vices. The less the volume pro- duced, the smaller each persons share and standard of living win be. May we not seek to apply cor rective measures to the unbalanced conditions that exist and return to the distribution of all possible goods and services to all of the people, which has been the aim of farsighted men for ages past ?"
 In conclusion, MT Hoadley urged the adoption of constructive poli- cies which will assure prosperity; assurance to private enterprise that the profit incentive will continue to receive public approval as an energizing motive of economic ac- tivity; public recognition that the only legitimate purpose of taxatoin is to provide the necessary rev. enue for government early reassurance of balanced budget and removal of the threat of un- controlled imitation or of any sud- den and arbitrary changes in our monetary policies With these assurances we shall have neces- sary relief and adequate reforms, but what is vastly more important, by the release of natural forces we shall have unemployment and recovery"

 Mrs Roosevelt, garbed in black and wearing a big bunch of yellow chysanthemums, joined the party at Harrodsburg after a flight from New York.
 q have called us who are here today-pioneers of 1884" the pres- ident said. "I mean everything that the word pioneer implies. We too, in these latter years throughout the length and breadth of our land have come to a realization of the pregnant fact that the accustomed order of our formerly established lives does not suffice to meet the perils and the problems which we are compelled to face. Again, mere survival calls for new pioneering on our part"
 Citing the empire-building by the early settlers, the president ob- served in contrast.
 "We are carrying on, we shall carry on, the purposes of these men and women of Harrodsburg. They were hewing out a common wealth-and like the word: com monwealthi We, too, are hewing out a commonwealth--a common wealth of the states which we hope will give to its people more truly than any that has gone be- fore the fulfillment of security, of freedom, or opportunity and of happiness which America asks and is entitled to receive"
 Tracing the settling of Harrods- burg, the setting up of new gov ernment in the wilderness he re- marked:
 There is a very definite analogy between those days and ours. Upon the pioneers of these great stretch es of the central west were forced new activities because of the cir cumstances of their surroundings. They were compelled to hew out a new path--a path that was de- pendent not on the axe and the rifle alone, but upon their ability to govern themselves in new ways as well.
 ITO most of the pioneers the necessities of the new life called for effort and experiments to which they had not been accustamed in their earlier years in the more or dered civilization of the Atlantic seaboard. Survival itself demand ed immediate and new action."

WIFE PLEADS FOR
 ACCUSED HUSBAND
Victim of Attack Has Bonds Reduced in SE-
 periOr Court To-day

Although she was the complain ing witness when her husband was bound over to the local superior court on charges of assault with intent to kill, Mrs Anna Gazy of Oxford to-day appeared before Judge John A. Cornell and suc- ceeded in having the bail of Jo- seph Gazy reduced from $5,0O0 to $1,0O0 pending his arraignment here at the January criminal term.
 Gazy was arrested on election day, November eth on complaint of his wife who told authorities her husband attacked her with scissors. Arraigned November 7th before Justice Richard Jacobs in the Oxford town court, pfob4 able cause was found and he was bound over to the Waterbury su- perior court under bonds of $5,000.
 She came to Waterbury and re- quested Attorney Edward F. Sweeney to represent her husband and to assist her in having the bond reduced.
 The application for reduction of bail was to-day presented to Judge Cornell who is now the presiding judge here, and after a brief discussion of the case, the application was granted. It was reported that the woman was not injured in the assault and that it was perpetrated more as a scare than for any malicious purpose.

mating below-ground world were elaborated on subsequent boating trips.
 She watched the natter trying to put the dormouse into the teapot, she heard the grass rustic as the white rabbit hurried past, she lis- tened defiantly to the queens con- mand of "off with her head", and then she went on, through the look ing glass, into another world where everything was topsy-turvy.
 Wrote Adventures
 Alice and her two starry-eyed sisters compelled the dignified mathematics instructor to write out the adventures for them. Tn the end, the tales were written for whole world of little girls and for all subsequent generations of little girls.
 The Alice of late years was a dignified, victorian widow of a country gentleman, with the train- ing and faith of daughter of a very reverend dean of Christ church. Around her constant reminder of the younger Alice, were the china figurines of the characters so we'll known to child hood.
 Came to America
 Two years ago, from her retire. ment in this peaceful village, she embarked on another glorious ad- venture. Honoring the centennial of Lewis Carroll, she went to America and, on her SOth birthday anniversary, was given a welcome by New York which was a mixture of tumult and reverence.
 A feeble Alice, in 1882, walking with the aid of two canes, she was suffused with embarrassment at American adulation.
 Columbia University made her an honorary doctor of letters. She confessed then, that her fav- orite character in all fiction was the sorrowing mock turtle. And that her favorite rhyme was the little interpolated song about "soup of the evening, beautiful soup."
 Had Three Sons
 It was not given to Alice to have little girls of her own. She gave to the world three sons, and of these, two went to the great war and never returned, while the third saw his service and escaped only with his life. Her husband, Regt- nald Gervis Hargreaves, died in 1926. He never recovered from what the war had cost him.

Relief, Recovery, Reform," the &hree R's of the depression and their influence on permanent em- ployment were analysed by Frank lin R. Hoadley, vice president Of the Farrell Company, Inc. of Ansonia in an address on eProblems Confronting the Durable Goods Industries before the Provi- dence section of the American So- ciety of Mechanical Engineers. MT Hoadley is chairman of the code authority of the Gray Iron Foun- dry Industry.
 Progression" the speaker said, ssis essentially a condition Of un- employment, Recovery alone can bring about unemployment and an end to the depression. Re-em- ployment is the only satisfactory form of relief. An aroused and in- formed public opinion will demand necessary reforms without the cruelty and injustice of imprac- tfcable and idealistic reforms which tend to retard employment. There- fore, since recovery will assure the greatest measure of relief and, since reform can be of little bene- fit without recovery, let us mar shall the three R's of the depres- sion into their proper sequence of recovery, relief and reform, and put the greatest emphasis on the leader of these forces, recovery"
 The speaker outlined the factors Influencing recovery and went on to say, If the restraints to pro- duction in the heavy industries arc removed there is every reason to De sure of rapid improvement in business. There are tremendous frozen assets which will be released when general confidence has been restored. " We are restrained by artificial barriers from mak- ing use of the factors which have always made for prosperity. We have millions of idle workers seek ing jobs and a huge volume of money and credit seeking employ ynent. It has been estimated that there is one hundred billion dol lars worth of accumulated work waiting to be done, and we have all the factors with which to do it except profit possibilities, suffl-

Opera Co Fails to Show Up in Hartford CustOm-
 CTS Refused Money

Hartford, Conn, Nov 16. (UP)- Police to-day held $49 in cash and awaited an explanation from Armand Bagaroczy, New York city, director of the Columbia Opera company, why the perform ance of Carmen" did not take place here last night as scheduled.
 More than 600 opera lovers pre- scented tickets at the box office or the State theater last night only to find that the company had not arrived in town, had not been heard from and there would be no show. They demanded their money back and were refused.
 A retail was sent from police headquarters to pacify the angry customers who held exchange tickets" and were in a belligerent mood.
 The opera originally was to have been presented last Saturday and Sunday but was postponed until last night because of conflicting bookings at Bushnell Memorial. Last Friday the company played at Springfield, Mass, and the show was delayed several hours because of tardy arrival of members of the cast. The same difficulty was ex- perienced here year ago and the show got under way two hours late.
 Faust was to be presented to- night but authorities were more concerned as to what happened to Carmen"
