proan!se papers, by plane. And this is
news a the n who sues is john
ny Dell, the male impersonator-"
For some a Ellen, who was I'M
ually well balanced, felt tired of life.
Suicidal. Now she knew why rivers
were made. For bodies.
In one bored syllable Martin LYNN
had conveyed to her that she was senti-
mental, tWenty-nine, approaching gray
na1r and had a poor nose for news.
She glanced resentfully at the SNOWY
oox which she had placed on a chair.
She wondered how it was that Lynn. a
thin, cynical, abnormally clever man
who would have felt undressed without

no use, and gushy.
Well, she'd never liked orchids any,
how. Beastly flowers with a half hui
man look; rather, a half snake look,
And II she'd liked EN- she was too old
to moon over a box Of flowers. She
was too old-damn it, she was too old
and tired to get hot or cold at the bored
voice of an eyeshade.
But Ellen had had an economical
home life. She could not waste things.
So presently she took the snowy box
down to the next floor of the apart
ment building. No need to let the things
die. Felicia Graham would like them.
Felicia was getting into a yellow chif-
fon gown.
Felicia Graham was twenty-five. She
had taffy colored hair and violet eyes
and she drew the human form modishly
for women's wear trade magazines. She
was good In her chosen line, but not
great.
She cried in delight at the box OF
orchids.

lucky. I never heard Of any one find

don't you really want to keep them?
Hush! You're not old. You're merely
tired. I feel that same way often
enough. o, I'm grateful for 'em, believe
me! Glen can't quite encompass Or
chids on his salary, the lamb. And
neither he nor I like to let other men
buy 'em for me-"
Ellen liked Felicia. She admired her

DESPOILER OF
 PICTURE JAILED
Man Who Threw Acid on Painting Given Six
 Month Sentence

New York, Sept 1.-(UP)-The anonymous painter of the late Nightmare of 1884" was repre- senated today as being most ag- grieved at the severity of the sen- tence imposed John Smiukse, the Latvian house painter who set fire to the mural satirizing the Roose- welt administration. "I had hoped, he was quoted as saying. that Police Judge Ely would be lenient. You see!A l. can understand where an inarticulate person would use fire instead of brush to express his feelings" Smiukse was sen fenced to six months in Westches- ter county penitentiary for mali cious mischief.
 Charles Birch-Field, one of the owners of the Westchester Institute of Fine Arts. where the painting was exhibited, revealed the artist had minded disclosing his identity today but decided against it, after the burning of the canvas, fearing an attempt on his life.
 While Smiukse failed to com pletely destroy the painting, he did succeed in eliminating the center portion which depicted President Roosevelt holding a fishing line in one hand with a big fish, intended to portray the masses. on the hook, and his other hand tangled in a cluster of microphones. He ac- complished this by pouring varnish removed on the painting and touching a match to it. Attendants stamped out the blaze.

 Organizers, prepared for the zero hour, declared that there will be 100 per cent shutdown in the state and prepared for peaceful picketing of all plants and organ ization of relief measures to cope with the biggest walkout in Con- necticut history.
 At the largest mill centers, Nor wich, Rockville, Manchester, Will limantic, Middletown and Thomp- sonville, the situation was accept ed without apparent feeling. More than 13,000 workers are employed in 21 miles in those sections.
 At Willimantic it was feared l. 800 operatives at the American Thread company might be forced to drop work because of a shutting off of materials in companion in- dustries.

London. Sept. 1.-UP).-The great British textile industry, cen. tering in Lancashire and York sRire, prepared today to take ad- vantage of Americas textile strike by seizing every available world cotton market and even invading the United States. Industrial lead CTS forecast increased sales in the United States despite the high tariff on manufactured textiles. and planned to take orders from Latin-American markets normally supplied by North American mills.
 If the strike lasts more than three or four weeks. it was believ- ed here the diminution of stocks would bring a large increase in trade to England. Several manu
 lecturers reported numerous i'm queries from New York on prices during the past few days. T cam not help but feel a little bit of joy when somebody else drops out of the competitive market" one man ufacturer told the United Press.

 Meanwhile strike plans were pushed on three fronts.

WATERFOWL WAS ASSESSED $500
 COMPENSATION
Peculiar Case of Mrs Eve lyn Potter Decided By
 Com. J. M. Lynch

A precedent is believed to be established in the compensation courts of the state to-day in the awarding to Mrs Evelyn A. Pot ter of Watertown the sum of $500 for her, and her son, Frank A., for the death of her husband, the late Howard F. Potter. Compensa- tion Commissioner James M. Lynch of the Waterbury office, who approved the agreement be- tween Mrs Potter and the town of Watertown, knows of no other case like it in the annals of con- pensation courts of the state.
 The late MT Potter died from a hemorrhage he suffered while en- gagged as volunteer fireman for the town of Watertown on March 27. His death occurred March 30. Mrs Potter claimed compensation for the loss of her husband by req son of his having been working for the town of Watertown at the time of the head hemorrhage. It was explained at the court hearing that Watertown pays $1 to each of it's volunteer firemen for every fire they attend. Under the statutes, the claimant contends that constituted a working agreement. and that her husbands death was the result of an injury sustained while in the course of the towns employment.
 The town of Watertown, through its insurer, the Travellers Insur- ance company, did not see it that way and claimed it was not a com pensable injury. Tn order to settle the issues of the case the stipula- ton agreement was entered into between the parties and the $500 sum was decided upon as the set clement figure. Of that amount, $500 goes to Mrs Potter, and $500 to her son, Frank. Attorney J. Will liam Carroll represented Mrs Pot ter at the hearing.
