COURT REOPENS
 WEISMAN CASE
Accused Recently Fined $zOO ParOIed in Law.
 yer's Custody

Fined 420O and costs in city court some weeks ago on c charge of ob- taining money under false pretenses. Norman Wei6man, Of 206 North Main street, succeeded in having the case reopened in city court to- day. Informed that restitution had been made, and that there were other extenuating factors, Judge Edward Mascolo reduced the fine to $25 and costs. Weislnan was par- oled in the custody of his lawyer, Attorney Joseph Davis, to pay the fine.
 The charges against WeiSman were the outgrowth of the cashing of a check when he was dissolving his business partnership with Joseph Dorfman of this city. Dorfman claimed that Weisman cashed g check without any right to do SO, and had his former partner arrested.
 When the case was heard in city court originally, Judge Mascolo sug- gested that it be arbitrated, but both sides failed to agree to this, and testimony was heard. The fine of $20O and costs was then imposed.

Secret Exposed! Lethal Highball

At last one of the principal reasons for the passage of a local ordinance prohibiting the use of anti-freeze radiator solu- tions containing more than 10 per cent wood alcohol has been divulged! Prohibition was the cause because there were so many persons buying such solu- tons and drinking them. The board of health met late yester- day afternoon and rescinded the ordinance with the result that a DuPont product, containing 75 per cent wood alcohol, may now be sold in Waterbury.
 Health Officer Dr. E. J. God- frey admitted this morning that one of the main reasons for the passage of the original ordi- nance was the fact that squat ters" at the Golf Lots and other derelicts were buying canned heat" and anti-freeze solutions and using them for drinking purposes during the prohibition era.
 They had various ways of purifying" the solutions, he pointed out, all of them inef- fectual. One was to put nails into the solution and leave it stand thus for three or four days in the belief that the poison would be driven out. Another way was to boil the solution with sugar added. Numerous homemade recipes were used but, nevertheless, blindness re- suited from time to time in the city. By limiting the wood al- cohol content of anti-freeze so- 1utions to 10 per cent this scource of supply was cut of from those seeking a cheap drunk.

There are many different re-
creation parlorS for the guests Of

guests for the patrons Of this in
stltutiOn are treated the same as
any guest in a Hotel. There il an
atmosphere Of satisfaction thru
out this institution, with the ex-
ception of an expression of the
desire on the face of the men, a
willingness to accept any kind of
job.
We had the honor Of meeting
the heads of all the different de-

this unemployed transient family.
We find Mr.. Moody very busy in
