HOW TO SHAPE A PEAR

Berkeley, Cal. (UP).-How pears
get thei rshape was revealed here
by DIR w. p. Tufts, head of the
University of California pomology
division, and c. J. Hanson of the
same department. Cross pollina-
ton of pears has an effect on the
shape of the fruit, but this is due
to the increase in the number Of
seeds produced rat er than the eff
feet OF pollen on the fruit itself.
DIR Tufts added, the further south
the orchard is situated, the shorter
the length Of the frnit produced.

Lewis S. Reed Lauds Firms for Excellent Support

With contributions to the Mutual
Aid being temporarily suspended
after tomorrow, the Mutual Aid
committee, through its officers, is
expressing it's gratitude to the peo-
pie of Waterbury for their CO.
operation during the past three
years. At the same time, the COM
mittee emphasizes that the sus-
pension does not mean the actual
end Of the fund as yet.
Lewis s. Reed, treasurer, said to-
day that in the three years Of the
funds existence total of $685.
900 has been contributed by the
working people Of Waterbury.
There is at hand now a cash bal
ance of $4,000, which is believed
enough to carry the funds work
through to the middle of April.
The success of the Waterbury
plan, Mr. Reed pointed out, has
been praised all over the country,
especially the great public response
shown in the form of voluntary
weekly contributions. 1t Is in the
weekly donation plan, according to
Mr. Reed, that the success of the
Mutual Ala fund has rested.
Since the committee cannot give
its thanks to eachscontributor per-
sonally, 1t desires to do so through
a statement, which is primarily in
tended for those who have made
the contributions themselves, main
ly in places where they We're not

Speaking. for the committee, Mr.
Reed issued the following state

'DISARMAMENTE

Second Anniversary Finds
All Nations Are Build.
ing Up for War

Geneva, Feb 2-(UP)-The Sec
ond anniversary Of the brilliant
opening Of the world disarmament
conference found the principal
powers today in bitter and conten-
tious arguments, armament races
in progress In every quarter Of the
globe, and the hope of permanent
peace farther away than 1t was on
Feb 2, 1892.
Not only have the statesmen
failed to arrive at an agreement
even on the basic principles OF an
arms treaty, but even their patch.
work of temporary understandings
is falling apart.
Germany and Japan have with
drawn from the League of Nations.
Germany is out Of the arms con-
ference.
France and Germany are at log
gerheads over equality of arms.
Austria is bitterly complaining
to the powers against German in
reference in her national life.
Germany is demanding revision
Of the Versailles treaties.
War clouds have appeared in the
Far East, with Japan's shadow
passing ever westward towards
Soviet Russia. All nations mill
tary budgets are higher than when
the conference began two years
ago. The major powers are build
ing their navies to treaty strength.
Meanwhile, although the various
committees and commissions of the
conference have sat in approx
mately 1000 sessions, not single
formula has been found that Is sat
isfactory to all, or even a majority,
Of the powers.
A meeting of the conference Of
ficers has been fixed for February
10, at which date for resumption
of the main conference will be de-
termined. The major powers also
are bound to report on the status
Of the bi-party negotiations be-
tween France and Germany, some
time before February 10.
AS diplomats reviewed the labors
of the past two years, they felt
that only one thing was holding
the conference together today-the
realization that If it were to be
abandoned and dissolved, with it
would go all the worlds machinery
for peace, Including the League of
Nations.

By United Press
DARIEN, Conn, Nov. l6.-Police
stationed in hiding for three nights
in the mansion of GuStave w
WeStheim, wealthy steamship brok-
er, captured three men in brisk
gun battle today, and charged them
with the attempted kidnapping OF
Mr.. Westheim,s 12-year old son.
The alleged kidnapers walked into
a trap after they had been ad-
vised that none of the family save
the boy and his mother were at
home.
On Monday, Mrs. Margaret West
helm received telephone call
warning her the boy, Robert, would
be harmed unless she paid over a
large sum of money, unGer ar
rangements to be made later.
Robert was taken from the private
school he was attending, and sent
to New York to safe seclusion with
relatives.
Police Chief Wounded
A second telephone message was
received today, and Mrs. West
helm told the caller, on instructions
from police, that "only Robert and
/ are in the house" Shortly there
after an automobile was driven past
the home several times and then
stopped in front of the estate.
Four men emerged and walked to
the front door, They were admitted
by plain clothes man from the
police department. A squad of six
police, with drawn guns, surrounded
the invaders.
The four attempted to shoot their
way out of the ambush, Police
Chief Edward A. Tinker and Lieu
tenant Amos Anderson received bull
let's in the legs, but neither was
dangerously wounded.
One of the marauders escaped, but
the three who were led away to jail
gave their names as: John Collins,

and Edgar La Rose, 38, of Paw
tucket.
Fourth Member Escapes
The fourth member of the alleged
abduction party escaped, and police
instituted search for him.
During the excitement, another
man-later released as having no
connection with the case-was ar
rested after he stopped at a nearby
house and asked permission to tele-
phone.
The Westheims are regarded as
wealthy. Mr.. Westheim is proprie-
tor of a steamship agency in New
York City, and Mrs. WeStheim con-
ducts a dress establishment, known
as the Louise Gown Shop.
