MASONIC CHARITY
 REPORT RELEASED
Robert s. Walker Says Re- lief Problem Most Inl-
 pOrtant of Time

One of the most important ques. tions of the day is the problem of relief, Robert $. Walker of this city president of the board of managers of the Masonic home, stated in his report for the board of the annual meeting of the Masonic Charity foundation of Connecticut at the Masonic temple Wednesday even ing.
 Dealing with old age pensions. his report said: Various plans have been adopted in many states and our national government is now engaged in devising ways and means for a more universal grant ing of such aid.
 "The manner in which such plans may affect the number of our members seeking assistance no one can tell, but one fact Is certain. There will always be old and in- firm brother Masons and depend ents of such Masons, who can be taken care of only in homes of the character of the institutions ere ated and maintained by the Ma sonic fraternity, throughout the United States and elsewhere. There will always be minor children of deceased brother Masons, who should be kept under the mothers care and who, if they are to be supported and educated as a Ma sons child should be, will require financial assistance beyond that wtich any government agency is likely to give"
 Mr Walkers report promised continued assistance of this kind. l. also gave details of the operat- ing costs of the program. and out lIned plans for the future.

To Back Bill in L Legislature Licensing Dealers in
 Real Estate

Members of the Waterbury Real Estate board will convene tonight at The Elton for the purpose of formulating plans to appear before the judiciary committee of the state legislature next Friday in support of bill requiring the li- censing of all real estate brokers.

METAL POLEHERS
 TO MEET TONIGHT
State Labor Federation Speaker to Attend BuiId-
 ing Trades Hall Session

The Metal PolIshers and Buffers International union are sponsoring series of open meetings fin an effort to bring in to the local union all workers not enrolled at pres ent. The first gathering was held last week in the Building Trades hall on Scovill street when a large number of applications for mem- bership were received. Two well known local labor men addressed the gathering.
 Tonight another open meeting will be held in the same building and more applications are expected. This prediction is based upon a canvas of the workers In those trades made the past week.
 It is expected there will be a speaker. an official of the State Federation of Labor. on hand to address tonight's assembly on labor organizations and legislation in the interest of labor. The regular meeting of the Buffers and Polish CTS union recently was well at- tended. Interest was manifested in the 30 hour work week bill now being considered in congress at Washington.
 Interest was also shown in two bills oon to be introduced in the senate at Hartford. namely, one to reduce the interest on mortgages, and another for the establishment of trades schools in Connecticut. The local union has gone on rec- ord in regard to these two meas ures and has instructed the legisla- tive committee to inform the state federation council of their action on the bills and to request Connec- ticut representative at Hartford to be active in the welfare of Water~ bury and it's citizens.
 The 30 hour week bill has the unanimous approval of labor in general, and in consequence the local union has gone on record as favoring this piece of legislation and that the representatives from this state be so informed and re- quest their support of tn bill.

But SaIUatore Isn t John!

A battle over . name for their baby brought a young husband and wife into city court this morning, the head of the family being aFraigned on . technical charge of non. support. Amid much hilarious testimony the passages about the naming of the infant pro- vidcd the greatest amusement for court attaches and specta. tors.
 Tho father and mother are Of different natiOnalities and of different faiths. The dads name is Salvatore and when the baby boy was born he de- cided he would like nothing better than Salvatore, Jr, for his son. So tlTe lad was chris. tened Salvatore.
 His wife, though. he said bitterly, didn't like that name and had the son christencd at her church. She gave him an- other name, the husband said, one that he thought was not so good, fin fact one he viewed with positive distaste. What was it, he was asked.
 "JOhn," said the father with a shudder.
 The judge on the bench led in the laugh that followed. He was Judge John F. McGrath.

State Nurses association conven- ton in Bridgeport last night.
 Dr Winslow discussed the re- gently completed report of the committee on the grading of nurs- ing schools, which has made an exhaustive stody of the question on a national scale during the past eight years, and in which both To- cal hospitals took part.
 Results of the study, Dr Winslow said, showed that between 1900 and 1880 the number of trained nurses in this country rose from 11,892 to~294.189.
 Tt is obvious" he said, "that the supply of trained nurses plus those who are not trained but called themselves nurses is nearly up to the maximum that could be absorbed even if all our people had all the nursing care ]. ,eded and could pay for this care" He an- nounced that the public health council of Connecticut has called upon the state board of registry to have inferior schools closed.
 Miss Agnes K. Ohlson, supervisor of the Waterbury training school. presided at the afternoon session of the Educational Nursing section. The final sessions of the three day convention will be held tomorrow.

 Appropriate Prizes
 While the contest winner will receive none of the awards mem toned, he or she will be given a prize well worth trying for, 0 beau tiful silver loving cup, suitably en- graved. In order to win this prize the boy or girl, must successfully compete through 8 or 10 success sive contests held each Thursday over station WATR, and directed either personally by Mir Gilmartln or other teachers in the local schools.
 Under MT Gilmartin's capable supervision yesterday the contest was run smoothly and without a hitch and none of the youngsters showed any signs of "mike fright" They faced the microphone with the composure of veterans, repeat ed words slowly and clearly, and when there was an occasional fail ure it was not due to lack of op- portunity given the contestant to correct his mistake. Each young ster was allowed ample time to think of the proper spelling of the word and was given plenty of lati- tude in every possible way.
 Simple Words
 Surprisingly enough the easiest appearing words were often the ones which proved most difficult. Perhaps because they seemed so simple, words like "losing" and "monastery" provided unexpected stumbling blocks.
 The list of words used during the contest was as follows:

Act will continue as hitherto de.
spite adverse court decisions and
criticism, w. Averill Hartman, of

According to Mr.. Hartman, the
only effect which these decisions
may have would be an increase in
the difficulty of ruling and ad-
ministering "border-line" cases, or
those which fall between the cate
gories of "big" and little" busi-
nesses. For the most part these
cases, it is explained, involve serv-
ice codes.

nies he is under consideration for
