|LITHUANIANS TO
 PRESENT FROLIC
Catholic Students Expect edLarge Crowd Tonight
 at St JOseph's Hall
BROOKLYN NEWS

The annual Lithuanian Catholic Students frolic and dance will take place at St Joseph's hall this evening. Arrangements for the success of the affair have been made over 8 period of several weeks and the committee believes that everything is now in readi- ness. Nearly 1000 attended a year ago and the same number is ex. pected tonight. The tickets have been selling fast at a moderate price and practically every Con- necticut city will send representa- ti0n. Busses have been chartered in Bridgeport, New Haven, Sey- mour, Ansonia, Torrington, Hart ford, Tho1naston and New Britain.
 It was the usual custom to reg. ulate the hops to the members only, but they have been so pop ular that it became necessary to admit the general public. One of the best local 0rchestras has been secured.
 File Petition
 A petition for lights on the stairway leading from Alder to South Wilson street has been filed in the office of the city clerk. This improvement would be welcomed by the many who use the pass- way daily. The route cuts off cons siderable walking and saves time. It is so situated that no street lights are in the immediate vicin- ity and is therefore very dark. Six lights would be enough to light the entire route and prevent possi- ble injury during the winter months.
 Attend Hartford Session
 John W. Stokes and William O'Brien attended 8 basketball meeting in Hartford last night relative to entering the St Joseph's girls team in a state enterprise whereby they will become ass0- ciated with about fifty other Con- necticut teams.
 Attention
 Sometime ago announcement of Miss Marie Croce, Brooklyn musi- elan who played 9 New York vaudeville engagement, appeared here. If Miss Croce will commun- icate with this department import ant news awaits her.

Blessed Sacrament Event to Feature Program
 of Entertainment

A gala program tonight will bring to a close the harvest festi- val of the Holy Name society of the church of the Blessed Sacra- ment at Elks hall, with special en- tertainment, novelties and dancing marking the third performance. A most successful opening night was observed last night, while this afternoon at 2 o'clock a matinee show will be held for boys and girls.
 Last nights performance, stud ded with stars of the local enter tainment world, more than pleased the crowd of several hundred which was in attendance. Headlin- ing the entertainment portion of the program were the Milky Way quartet, the speciality dancing team of Lillian Mccoy, Helen Larkin and Dorothy Sternberg; Bobby Scan- nell, Mary and Peggy Mccormack, and Peter Crowley. The festival was opened by City Controller Daniel J. Leary and Commissioner James M. Lynch.
 The committee promises a dozen or more features for the young sters this afternoon. A minstrel show, presented by pupils of Kicks dancing academy, will be one of the high spots. A large crowd of boys and girls is expected. .-.
 Tonight's closing performance will bring a new and varied pro- gram of entertainment to those who are present. Prizes and awards will also be drawn.

SERVICE CODES NOT
 TO BE ABANDONED
(Continued from Page 1.)

for fair competitive practice.
 Complete abandonment of these codes is fought by labor officials, who point out if government pro- lection is withdrawn, workers will lose rights guaranteed by section "A in the recovery act.
 Fifty five uncodifed service groups operating under the presi- dents unemployment agreement suffer from lack of legal status for enforcement measures.
 The recovery board is unwilling to return service trade groups to previous conditions. Work hours as high as 80 per week were said to be common practice, "Unthinkable" wages were paid, according to one labor spokesman.
 Labor provisions have had very little compliance since trade prac- tice and price controls were with drawn. Service firms argue that code wages cannot be met without price fixing.
 A special MIRA committee named last March to study company stores and the scrip system of wage payments today recommended, as fair trade practice, limited accept ance of scrip, at not less than face value, by retail stores.
 NIRB has not acted on the re- port which pointed out that "effec- tive correction of evils which exist cannot be achieved under the re- tail code" Code provisions which prohibited retailers from accept ins scrip as payment for mer. chandise were stayed until Dec. when the code was signed.

Starting with a German Folk Song this evening, the Concordia Singing society will be busy or ganization during the next month. The affair tonight, will be held in Concordia hall. Professor Andrew H. Neuss will have charge of the singing. Dancing will follow with Marks orchestra furnishing the dance music.
 Another event which the mem bers are looking forward to with eagerness is the Symphonic con- cert by the combined Waterbury Philharmonic orchestra and the Concordia Singing society. The Buckingham hall stage will have to be specially arranged to accom- modate the artists for the concert. The Waterbury Philharmonic or- chestra includes more than 40 members, men and women in its roster, while the Concordia Ladies chorus and the Concordia Mems chorus will each have 75 voices. All will appear under the direction of Professor Neuss, on Sunday evening, the 25th. It is expected to be one of the finest concerts ever presented in this section.
 The choruses and musicians are rehearsing faithfully to make the concert measure up to the two concerts given by the same groups in March and May of 1888. The program this year will be of a somewhat lighter vein in contrast to the previous heavy arrangements presented before. Another feature this year will be the increased number of renditiors to be given by the Concordia groups.
 Concordia ladies will present a social and dance on Nov. 17th in Concordia hall to which all friends

Photographic illustration in med icine is 2 subject in which MT Greer Is vitally interested and in which he has specialized. In a recent is- sue of the American Medical Soci- ety Journal a contribution of which he was the author appeared.
 MT Greer is the son of MT and Mrs Thomas Greer, Virginia ave- nue, this city. His recent article, which interested many local physi- clans, read as follows:
 For a number of years I have paid particular attention to the illustrations that appear in text books and the various medical journals. Generally speaking, the standard of photographic illus trations in the country is low. This subscription of five standard med fcal journals for the quality of the photographs illustrating the ar- ticles.
 From my observations of a to- tai of $500 photographs which appeared in these journals I com piled the following statistics; S64, or "A percent of the Illustrations "SAC PooA, AyG1o, UT S4 per CeTL were only fair, 1,518, or AZ per cent, were good or excellent.
 I might mention that on look ing over these illustrations I took into consideration the difficulty of photographing certain clinical subjects and the usual loss of de- tail that is encountered in the preparation of cuts. noticed many beautiful photographs of TO- entgenograms. However, I feel safe in saying that in general the illustrations showing roentgeno- grams had the poorest average of the various types of photographs studied. It was especially inter- esting and gratifying to note that

VCOnLInuSQ TrOm rage l.D Falls train or negligence on the part of either of the engineers was the cause.
 Miss Alice Raymond of North Billerica and Arthur Wilson of Worcester, passengers on the local, were the most seriously hurt. They were taken to a hospital here suf- fering possible skull fractures. but doctors said to-day their names were not o nthe danger list. Ar thur Hewlett, fireman on the local, suffered broken ankle.
 Witnesses said the two-car local had stopped, giving the usual time for teh other train to stop at the Aver station. but started again when the other did not stop. They said the engineer on the Bellows Falls train, Charles W. Foster of Melrose, appeared to be trying to stop the train. but it kept rolling past the station and crashed into the local.
 Parks, conductor on the local, had arisen from a seat in one of the coaches and was thrown head long to the floor.
 Engineer Foster said he applied the brakes, but they didn't get the air."
 Two milk cars on the seven-car Bellows Falls train were telescoped in the collision which tied up trat. fic on the line for over four hours.
 Railroad officials said the local. piloted by Engineer G. F. Goss of Worcester, had the right of way at the cross-over at the time of the crash.

Defenders Called Arbitrary
 'They were very arbitrary" Mrs Bender said. "They said argument was useless and that they believed
 in the unwritten law and that they would demand acquittal or noth- ing"
 The four women stood steadfast for acquittal from the first minute of the 30 hours of deliberation. Three of the men joined them. When the jury finally gave up try ing to reach an agreement last night it stood seven to five for freeing Doke.
 T myself felt Doke was justi- fied," said Mrs. Bender. But l didn't want him to go entirely free. Most of us felt that way. But we were afraid to vote for any
 kind of conviction because we did mt want him to go to prison for life. We just felt he should be
 punished some other way" Foreman For Conviction Grover c. Grady, foreman of the jury. led the faction of five men
 who stood as steadfastly for con- viction as the four women and Fenocchia had stood for acquittal The defense regarded the jury | disagreement as victory and as an indication that in a new trial Doke would be acquitted. From the seclusion in which she
 has been since the trial opened Oct. 20, Mrs. Helen Louise Dokc
 the slain poets paramour, sent word that she, too, was confident
 her husband would be freed. She has summed, the public since the July day her husband
 went to a ranch near Dunnigan
 and shot and killed her lover, the 22-year-old University of Califor-
 mia student whose poems had won
 many college prizes and whose
 epic work, "The White Hibiscus
 was dedicated to dark-eyed Mrs. Doke.
