her old friend, Bertha Crandall, \
now Mrs. George Coleman.
At luncheon the next day
Bertha listened sympathetically
to long account Of Anastasia's
stroke.
Its wonderful. But listen,
Agnes, I've got to tell you some
thing too. I swear I haven't
told a soul but it's been on my
conscience. I must tell you.
You're so wise and clever. I
know you'll do what you think
best. Listen, Agnes. when George
and were in Miami last month
we saw your sister-in-law."
Eyes. I know. She and Walter
spent nearly a month there" A
note of envy crept into her
voice even though she spoke
casually.
"Your brother was with her?"
Bertha asked in amazement,
then added, did they go down
Cogetner, AgneS?
What do you mean? No, as
q matter Of fact, she went down
alone with the nurse and baby.
The baby had a cold. Walter
went down a week later"
"Ah," Bertha cried trium-
phantly. "that's different! That
makes it all too clear"
why. what do you mean,
Berth?"
Don't get excited, Agnes"
II never get excited. Tell me
quickly" Agnes painted.
Agnes, We saw Helen down
there with another man." she
said slowly.
II don't believe it! Besides, it
may have been just a casual
acquaintance"
Yeah? She was clinging to
his arm, and laughing into his
face :"
mol" Agnes paled.
"Yes. And do you know who
the man was, Agnes?"
mo, who was it?" she gasped.
agnes, it was Dick Terhune
-Irene's husbands"
"Oh, my lord!"
agnes, take some water,
quick. Oh, my dear, you mustn't
let yourself go like that"
Agnes lips moved swiftly in
silent prayer.
Tell me all about it from be.
ginning to end, Berth. she
gasped.
Nothing loath, Bertha told
the story with embellishments
and additions Of her own. Agnes
listened, her face a mask Of de-
termination. Her voice when
she spoke was harsh with ex-
citement.
Listen, Bertha, swear to me
on the memory of your dead
mother that you'll never breathe
a word of this to soul, unless
I say you may"
II swear to heaven" Bertha
quavered, frightened by the
gleam in Agnes'S eye.
We've had enugh scandal in
the family with Stella. We can't
let it touch Walter and Irene
too. But she'll answer to me!
I'll see that she is justly pun
ished." Agnes babbled. THAT
rotten, sneaking little worm."
"Oh, AgneS!"
II could wiring her neck! But
I won't! I'll not say a word. I'll
let her dig her own grave. Evil
like murder will out and truth
will find the light. I thank you,
Berth, I thank you from the
bottom Of my heart for telling
me and not broadcasting it.
You've sworn now, remember"
Agnes held her friend by the
fanatic gleam in her eye. "Not
a word"

SCHOOL FUNDS
To Be ASKED

The District Commissioners will
be asked to seek a supplementary
estimate from Congress for the
modernization of the Adams
School which burned last week,
members of the Board of Educa-
ton announced yesterday follow
ing a request from DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent of schools.
Elementary schools have had
the largest enrollmen1 of any
schools this term, DR.. Ballou
stated, and another building to
house the extra 4,728 children
is needed.
Underprivileged children who
are in need of clothing, glasses
and other necessities will be
taken care of by the Phoebe
Hearst Foundation following a
study of the plan to distribute
applications to the children who
will write down their needs, ac-
cording to an endorsement yes
terday by the Board of Educa-

Commenting on the five hear

Congress Has Duties
In Government

TO the Editor of The Times:
1t is refreshing to discover
that Congress is finally aSsum-
mg-or thinking Of aSsum-
Rng-its proper place in the
Governmental scheme.
Under our system OF Gov
arnment the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial branches Of
the Government are of equal
and coordinate Importance. If
anything. the Congress is more
important than the President,
In that Congress may override
q Presidential veto, and the
eenate's assent is required both
in the ratification of treaties
and in the confirmation OF
major appointments by the
President.
Yet for the past two years
Congress has been talking in
whispers while President Roose-
Nelt roars his orders and pro.
nouncements in a deep bass
that can be heard around the
world.
With President Roosevelt as
an individual I have every
sympathy. But with his policies
I am as completely out Of
sympathy. 1 do not think the
Roosevelt policies are promot-
ing recovery. To the extent
that we are recovering at all.
/ think recovery is coming in
spite Of the Roosevelt policies
rather than because OF them.
Whether right or wrong in
this conclusion, it is certainly
not only the prerogative but
the duty of Congress to study
seriously, criticize freely and
act deliberately on the Roose-
welt recommendations.
1t is just possible that the
President may be wrong.

Food Prices Take
A Flight

To the Editor of The Times:
If you eat, buy groceries and
meats from the local stores and
keep any kind of tab on the in
creases in prices, it certainly
must give you a laugh-as it
has many thousands of us-to
be told that the average increase
Is something like 2 per cent!
Here's specific prices, which I
can and will gladly prove: Three
weeks ago, one Of the largest
chain stores locally sold lower
round steak at 15c a pound.
About a week later it was 19c
and now it is exactly Csc. Cheese
has jumped from 19c to 23c in
the last 10 days. Eggs that were
32c jumped to 37c, and-wonder
Of wonders!-dropped to 35c.
And, in a general way, so on
throughout the store.
AS for sliced bacon, good
steaks, nice canned goods-well,
We reluctantly pass them up. A
"cube" Of butter was SC, then

WILEY SET FOR STRONG GAME AT TORRINGTON Stellar Line Working Well For Hard- Running
 Backs

Saturday afternoon, the Wiiby high school footbal lsQuad, winner of its last three games by margins of six points or better will travel to Torrington for e game with Fay Vincent's well-drilled array, which held Naugatuck to a 7-7 tie last Saturday, after losing two touch- downs on decisions involving the backfield in motion. Wilby has cOn- uuered Naugatnck l2 to 6, Roxbury l9 to 6 and Lyman Hall of Wal- iingford 1z to 0.
 A solid week of drilling on fun-- damentals with particular emphasis on bl0ckin gand tackling has the Wildcats in good shape for the Tcr- rington fray, with Crosby trying to take the measure of Naugatuck at about the same time, Wilby already having beaten the borough team on it's home field. A scoreles stie with Ansonila gives Wilby a $50, Wilby's line play, showing two smashing tackles, LattanziO and Perenewski and two fine guards who work equally well on offense and defense, KuSiaie and Polmon with Pannone doing well at center, is the threat that Torrington will have to face while Pomponio, the Noonan broth- |ers and Devino in the baekfield have been clicking" for some time.
 Wilby is really pointing for the Crosby game Thanksgiving day and feel supremely confident or at least holding their own every nlin- ute the ball is in play. WilDya probably starting lineup againss Torrington will be:
 Caffrey, left end: Lattanzio, lefs tackle; Kusiala, left guard; Pan- none, center; Polmon, right guard; Pernerwski, right tackle; Graham, right end; Pomponio. fullback; Dave Noonan. quarterback: Capt. Donald Noonan, left halfback: Devino, right
 halfback.

C.W.G.A. ADOPTS NEW AND LOWER RATE FOR MEETS
Five Dollars Covers Tour neys - CarOIan Chap-
 man New President :.

New Haven, Nov. 7-The Con- necticut Women's Golf association took steps ct Q meeting yesterday 10 increase the size of the fields in ets lo30 open day tournaments even before the healthy proportions of the tournament turnouts of recent seasons.
 Making the first major change in its constitution in several years the CWCA voted to tax each individual member i've dollars and for this amount admit them without further charge to all the open day tourna- nents on the associations schedule.
 Heretofore the individual mem- hers have become eligible to play as their clubs joined the association and for the various tournaments on the schedule they paid an entry fee for each of those in which they played. Now for the flat five dollars tournament tax a player from any member club of the CWGA may play in all of the association tour namentS.
 The association tournaments, of which there is one almost every week from early May to late Sep tember, have been better patronized in recent years than the tourna- ments of the mems state associa- tion. With the new arrangement 8 part of the 1886 scheme, however, 1t is expected that tournament attend ance will be larger than ever.
 Miss Caroline Chapman of Brook lawn was elected president of the association at tonight's meeting; Mrs. Charles E. Brainard of Hart ford. vice president; Mrs. Grant Rigby of Cheshire, reelected secre- tary; Mrs. George Seeley of Water bury treasurer; Mrs. Rigby chair man of handicaps; Mrs. I. L. R. Browne of Pennington state team captain and Mrs. George L. Austin of Hartford executive committee member for three years.

 Coaches James Ross, Steve Blower and Fred Weidorn seem to be very confident that the placing of Chas Murtagh and Paddy Morrissey in the fullback position and Paddy Kiernai1 in the center half of the defense hes been strengthened enough to overcome the handicaps of the past three weeks. This combination teamed up last Sunday in . superb manner.
 @ Second Clash
 Two weeks ago the Vasco's de- feated the locals to in a very fast game but the locals defense seemed unable to cooperate. With the new lineup this problem seems to be solved and the local fans will be assured of a very close game The Bridgeporter's composed of for mer high school players are very fast and play 8 slashing game throughout making up with speed and continued action for fancy play. So far this season they have maintained first place since the start of play.

 K. OF |. HOOPMEN
Rumors Say Lithuanians Will Not Organize for
 l935.36 Basketball

There are strong rumorS being circulated in the Brooklyn section of the city that the K. of L. basket ball team which won the state Lith- uanian title for the past two years will not be reorganized this season. It is said that arrangements can- not be made for the use of St. Jo- sephs hall every Saturday night and there would be some problem or mixup in game dates. Although at the present time 1t appears as though the team has disbanded, ar- engagements will be attempted to correct the situation.
 Captain Joe Swasey of the Knights said today that if the club is for tunate enough to secure the hall for several nights in advance a sched- ule can be arranged. Several offers for games have already been re- ceived, but action on them has been lacking.
 No Interest.
 Basketball which has proven, popular this location will not be as plentiful as it has been for the past few years. The St. Joseph Alumni girls have been practising for the past two weeks and they expect to show a strong team. The girls will be represented in the State Lithuanian Catholic circuit.
 There are also strong rumors that the Brooklyn A. c. will support club of semi-pro players in event that the City Amateur league passes out of existence. B. A. c. officials have already inquired as to avail able terms for using St. Joseph's hall in which to play visiting teams
