Xavier church tomorrow night ilaI the parish hall on Washington street. MT Fitzpatrick will take for his subject Socialism" In the course of his address, the speaker will explain the difference in the aims of socialism and communism.
 In addition to the lecture, other matters of interest are on the pr0- gram, including action on a ques- ton introduced a month ago re- garding the advisability of chang ing the meeting night from Sunday to Friday evening. The motion brought out sharp differences of opinion, some claiming that Sum day was the proper day for Holy Name meetings and others favor~l ing change because they be- lieved 1t would have a tendency to bring in more young men. It was finally decided to let the matter SO over to the next meeting.

DONALD MALONE
 DIES SUDDENLY
Naugatuck High Sopho- more Drops Dead Dur-
 ing Basketball Game
Especial to the Democrat

Naugatuck, Feb. IF Nauga- tuck high school students and res- idents of the town in general were still shocked today because of the sudden death yesterday due to a heart attack, of Donald Malone, sophomore at the Naugatuck high school. The 16-year-old youth passed away at 7:15 last night while watching the basketball game at the school between St Hedwig and St Francis grammar school teams. The boy lived with his mother at May street.
 It is believed the excitement of the game, the first he had witt messed in many months, brought on the heart attack which is thought to be the cause of the from heart trouble for some time, having an attack due to 1t about a year ago. At that time a doctor told his mother Donald's heart was in pood shape and as a result although she allowed him to at- tend school she did not permit him to go to football or basketball games where he might get excited. However, because he did not seem in bad health lately and because he had been denied the privilege for so long, she allowed him to attend the games last night.
 Donald was sitting in chair in the gymnasium watching the first game when suddenly he fell from his chair. He was taken into the cafeteria by Coach Peter J. Foley and his son, Raymond who Is an instructor at the high school. Rev Michael Heating of St Francis church was summoned and admin istered the last rites of the church. Dr Charles Kennedy was instantly called ut the boy died before pr Kennedy could reach him.
 Tn the meantime the spectators had been informed that the boy had tainted and the remaining two games were played.
 Before they left the hall they realized the boy had passed away. There was an unusually large crowd in attendance because of the fact that the game between Gen. tral avenue, league leaders and Salem school, runners up might de- termine the championship of the league.
 Was Popular
 Donald was we'll liked in school always having q pleasant smile and being of a kind nature. He was liked by his teachers also. being an industrious youth. He had many friends both in school and out. He was a graduate of Central avenue school.
 He leaves his mother, Mrs Ivy Malone, one brother, John and one sister, Ruth, all of Naugatuck. His father, John Malone, was fatally injured in an automobile accident several years ago.
 Wild rumors flew about the town after the death of the boy. Some said that he fell from the horizon tai ladder at the gymnasium and hit his head against 8 pole vault block and others said he drank poisoned water but all these were untrue.
 Medical Examiner Dr Harold Johnson investigated as did also members of the local police.
 It Is expected the funeral will be held Monday morning. It was the third sudden death within three weeks. George JuriSsaitis having passed on from e heart at- tack a few weeks ago and Joseph Lcese having dropped dead this week. Alexander J. Mccarthy, al. though not passing as quickly died unexpectedly this week.

SILVER INQUIRY
SEEN NEARING
COLLAPSE
BY international News Service

A proposed Senate inquiry into
silver speculation virtually col
lapsed today after a trio of re-
ports from the Treasury failed to
disclose the existence Of a ring"
OF silver gamblers.
The reports, on the contrary
proved that the largest traders in
silver futures, both long and
short, were great banks and bust
ness concerns, operating to pro
tect their investments against a
fluctuating market.
The Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee met, however,
to pass upon the suggestion Of
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau that some further steps be
taken to ascertain secret holdings
Of silver.
The Treasury's inquiry revealed
that there we're 141,612,898 spot
ounces of silver in private hands,
exclusive of amounts held under
$4,000 ounces. The total long fu-
ture contracts, in amounts exceed
ing $4,000 ounces numbered 1890
for a total of 124,750,000 ounces.
The total short future contracts.
in amounts exceeding $4,000
ounces, numbered 5,671, for total
Of 141,775,0O0 ounces. These
statistics failed to reveal any
startling situation in silver.
Members Of the Senate "silver
bloc" were indignant over the
speculative inquiry. They charged
It was started by the "gold bloc"
to becloud the issue of remon-
etizing silver. Senator Thomas
lD0 Of Oklahoma declared:
cit was an effort to divert
the issue of remOnetiZing silver
down a side street. 1t failed
dismalIy, because the inquiry
proved a dud."
The largest holders of spot sill
yer were the banks. Chase Ma
tional Bank headed the list with
1906, ,109 ounces. The largest
corporation holder was the East
man Kodak Company, with a.
000,514 ounces.

Mother Earth
NOtSO Heavy
-
After All

Not that it matters greatly to
you and me, but the earth does
not weigh as much as scientists
believe.
At least, that is the opinion
of DR.. Paul Heyl, of the Bureau
of Standards, who is completing
a 10 years study o. the Ques-
ton.
The generally accepted weight
is $4,000, ,000, 900 900, ,000, 600
tons. (This Is translated six
sextillion, 592 quintillion, If you
care.)
DR.. Heyl, however, finds that
this is slightly exaggerated, and
when he completes his study,
hopes to have the exact weight.

lhe way tobacco is cut has
lot to do with the way Chesterfield
burns and tastes

lhere are many different ways
of cutting tobacco.
: A long time ago, it used to be
cut on what was known as Pease
Cutter, but this darkened the to-
bacco, and it was not uniform.
The cutters today are the most
improved, modern, up-to-the-min-
ute type. They cut uniformly, and
cut in long shreds.
The tobacco in Chesterfield is
cut right-you can judge for your.
self how Chesterfields burn and
how they taste.
