In New York
Rv PAUL HARRISON

New York.-"Theres is nothing mysterious about the art of sword swallowing" said the Great Gren- dol. "In fact, the profession would be a. lot better off if my talent was better understood.
 "Many people think my swords are collapsible, and that l really don't swallow nothing. They think it is al trick. like the tricks ol some other people I could mention around here." The Great Grendol glanced scornfully toward the platform where the Egyptian Wonder Worker was eating, or seemed to be eating, red hot coals MT Joseph Grendol. of the Worcester, Mass, Grendols, flip- ped a switch and lighted long neon tube on the end of flexible cord. Seized the brightly glowing tube and thrust 1t down his gull let, "Ee ow co 'an ee il ri roo ii roat," said he with great diff culty. And, sure enough, I could see the light shining right through his throat.
 He seemed fattered by my obvi- ous relief when he had disgorged the thing. It turned out, however, that an illuminated glass tube is a mere /hors d'oeuvre in a sword swallowers menu. The curved knives, and particularly the saws. are, as he expressed 1t, tougher. inquired how he happened to get into the business and he said 1t was a boyhod ambition. Didn't want to be an engineer, or poll iceman, cowboy or sea captain. He wanted to be the Great Gren- dol in a circus. By assiduous training of his throat muscles he got so he could down pencils. then dull table knives, and finally dag gers.
 Eats to Live
 But now, ambition realized, | Grendol wants to quit. Wants to quit and go live on farm in Mas sachusetts. His wife wants to re- tire, too. She was not a performer when they were married few sea- sons ago, but now she is Miss Vir- ginia, the Iron-Tongued Girl. A pretty, shy little blonde, with ton que of neither iron nor acid.
 "There ain't any future in my ! kind of art" Grendol confessed. T won't ever be able to swallow anything really important, like an ax, or a ploughshare. so I'm goin'
 to leave the profession. Besides, it'll be nice to get some good home, cooking again. The restaurapt
 grub we live on while the show is
 in New York has got my stum- mick so touchy l can't hardly swallow bite"

He used 10 mention Rosemary and rue, And everything he ever said Of flowers or folk was true.

The New Britain Herald says, "The req son why neither Meriden nor New Britain have been successful in removing their worst crossings is because of the expense and inconvenience involved to both the public and private business. It was real ized long ago that the crossings should not have been permitted to develop when the railroad was built; but people then were so eager for railroads that they had no idea of the future danger of grade cross ings. Now they are and are all bound up with the industries along the rights of way. If, for instance, New Britain's Main street grade crossing were removed it would cost private industry many times what 1t would cost the public, as every industry along the right of way for considerable dis tance would be compelled to make expen- sive changes, some of them impossible. The same is true in Meriden. ..
 However, Meriden can snap back with the retort that despite the inconvenience of the numerous grade crossings right III the heart of the town, at least the town IS serviced by main line and not by spur line, such as New Britain and Waterbury have. At least that's our experience in commenting on the grade crossings. We JGlcu It SOlIc IlIllC dSO c1HU WSiS Ph oA.rO-1 squelched. We still believe railroad lines through the center of towns (and there are many of them in the East) are signs of the past They should be eliminated whatever the cost.
 After the weather of the past few days we can see why the crocuses are croaklng, the peppers peeping, daffodils going daily, etc. Nothing is more conducive to smll- ing face and happy disposition than fair skies after prolonged dismal spell. Just imagine what would happen if every un- employed man and woman were given job today. Can't you just picture the glow of contentment emanating from these good old United States.
 We're getting tired of red pink, black, and so on as political colors. What we need is a Green party, typifying hope and spring.
 Natures as unfair as Capitalism. Some sections get far more rain than they need and others far less.

SHOE HARDWARE
COMP ANY IS not
TO BE REMOVED
Old Runlor About Going to
Naugatuck Is Once
More Denied

Denial was made to-day to the
report current in Waterbury that
the Shoe Hardware company, To-
Gated on Brown ana North Elm
streets, was planning to transfer
all its machinery to the United
United States Rubber company
company plant in Naugatuck and
suspend operations here definitely.
Gilman NJ. Gay, superintendent of
the Shoe Hardware company, de-
clared Gthat such a report was en-
tirely unfounded.
Same Old Rumor
The Shoe Hardware company is
a subsidiary of the United States
Rubber company which has extern
sive plant holdings in Naugatuck.
Superintendent Gay pointed out
to-day that from time to time the
report starst that the Shoe Hard
ware company was to be shifted to
the rubber borough.
Mr.. Gay also pointed out that
many of the departments of the
local plant are now running on a
24-hour schedule. In toher words,
orders to be filled require night
and day shifts. The Shoe Hard
ware factory has been one of the
city's busiest plants throughout the
depression and employs a large
number of people.
Caused Much Concern
The report Of the proposed re-
moval of the plant to Naugatuck
caused much concern in Waterbury
but Superintendent Gays statement
to-day served to allay fears of the
city losing one of its leading manu-
featuring concerns.

Editor LaGuardia urged the wives
Of young policemen to trust their

"a good husband and father can
always arrange time to spend with
his family" wrote LaGuardia. HE
will not complain or even discuss
the sordid things he sees while on
duty. On the other hand, the home
must be cheerful and pleasant. Sus-

JUDGE M'EVOY
HAS PECULIAR
RULING TO MAKE
Whether Eating Half of a
Spider Is Worth $lOO
or Lesser Amount

Judge Frank P. McEvoy must
decide whether 500 is a reason
able sum to compensate a Hart
ford woman for having swallowed
half a spider with bite Of a bun
she purchased in Hartford bak-
cry, he learned, following a hear
ing before him in the- superior
court at Waterbury today.
The case was presente to Judge
McEvoy during hearing of the
receivership reports of the bakery
business of Domenic Guistas of
Hartford. The application for re-
ownership was brought by John
Gizas of Hartford. Attorney Ed
ward Waterhouse of Hartford pre-
scented the reports. showing funds
for distribution of about $4,000.
Clean of the Spider
After the papers were accepted
by Judge McEvoy, Attorney Wa
terhouse brought the matter of a
disputed claim in the amount Of
$500. He said he had investigated
the claim and had decided that
800 was a reasonable settlement
of the claim. Another attorney
representing one of the creditors
of the concern, objected to the
payment, stating he believed the
amount too high.
Judge McEvoy inquired as to the
nature of the claim. Attorney
Waterhouse then explained that a
Mrs. O'Brien of Hartford entered
the bake shop to purchase a
dozen of buns. She bit into one of
the buns and swallowed the mouth
full. She then proceeded to take
another bite when she discovered
a half of a spider resting where
she had bitten off the bite from
the bun. Judge McEvoy reserved
decision.
