OVER GIFT

During her two years as Sec

kinS has received many gifts
many Of them impressive. But a
simple wood carving, the gift of
o poor Italian laborer, brought
tears to her eyes today when the
giver, speaking broken English,
presented it to her as a memento
of her fifty-third birthday ami
versary.
For two years Filippe Liberatore,
Q former plasterer, lay in the hos
pital suffering from injuries re-
ceived when he fell from a scat.
folding.
He taught himself the art Of
woodcarving. When he mastered
It he carved bust Of the Secre-
tary from q portrait cut from a
newspaper.
Philippe, who is At, and lives in
the 500 block First St. N. w.,
waited until the Secretary'S birth
day anniversary, when he APP
peared at the Labor Department
with the bust carefully wrapped
In tissue paper.
Madame Secretary thanked him
and placed the bust on her desk.
Philippe stuck out his chest,
threw up his head and marched
proudly from the office.

Runs Amuck In
Office

NEW YORK, April II U.SD.
A terrible dream - whatever it
was he doesn't remember - ex-
ploded in the aching head Of AL
bert Callahan yeSterday-and sent
him into action.
With one jump he was out Of
the dentists chair. In his right
arm he grabbed DR.. Alvin B.
Leavitt, so, who was administer
ing gas preparatory to extracting
a troublesome molar.
With the other hand, Callahan
80 and ITS pounds-grabbed the
gas machine and the mask that
had been over his face. Then,
with convulsive grunt, he
chucked dentist and gas bag both
out the window. Luckily it hap
pened in a first floor office.
A minute later, Callahan fol-
lowed the dentist-not only fol.
lowed him but placed his fingers
around DR.. Leavitt's throat in q
manner anything but loving. A
couple of bystanderS less inno-
cent than most OF us. called the
cops.
His arms held by two strapping
coppers. Callahan was pulled away
from the dentist and deposited in
the dentists chair. Then, this
time without deigning to use the
offensive gas machine, DR.. Leavitt
willingly got his revenge - with
forceps. At the end of the month,
Callahan will get a bill.

State Produces Half
 OfNation's s Silverware
25 Manufacturers to Show Products in This Field at
 Big Industrial Exhibit

When a heavy blue rock on Mount Davidson, Nevada, was un- covered in 1859, great impetus was given to the struggling silverware industry of Connecticut which now produces more than half the na- tion's fiat and hollow silverware. The age-old and always fascin- ating story of silver will be re- told at the Tercentenary Industrial exposition, October 2 to 12, at the State Armory, Hartford. More than twenty-five Connecticut man ufacturers will cooperate in exhib- iting ancient and modern methods and products of their craft.
 The Comstock Lode on Mount Davidson was promoted by Henry Comstock, a shrewd trapper, who recognized the worth of the vein. A following "silver rush" made available a supply of metal for the ingenious Yankees of the east whose supremacy in the manufac- turing field has remained through the years.
 During our early colonial his tory there were over hundred silver smiths working around Bos- ton making jewelry or silverware from coin silver. The adventure some Massachusetts traders would bring back coins from the ports of every nation in the famous Clipper Ships with their intrepid crews. Paul Revere, he of the midnight ride fame, and William Moulton, were leadin lgights in silver crafts manship. Six generations of Moul- tons made sterling until the Civil war, while three generations of Philadelphia family were silver smiths before and after the ReVo- lutionary war.
 The early development of the silverwAre industry in Connecticut centers about the Rogers broth CTS, Asa, William and Simeon. Will liam, the eldest brother, came as an apprentice to Joseph Church of Hartford in 1920, and entered into partnership with his former em- ployer in 1920, and entered into partnership with his former em- ployer in 1925. In 1926 William entered business for himself. Meanwhile his brohter, Asa, formed a partnership "for the manufacture of silver spoons'. Asa Rogers is now looked upon as the guiding genius of the family.
