the stars by the light which is thrown

The Observers cell must needs be

rays of incoming starlight.
From these few details, you may get
an inkling of the magnitude of the

physical experiment - certainly it is
the greatest of the twentieth century.

 The death of Miss Jennie Angus ta Granniss occurhed at her home at 76 Nottingham terrace on Sat- urday afternoon, following a brief illness. Miss Grenniss who was a well known music teacher for many years, was the daughter of the late George Nelson and Mary E. Ainsworth Grenniss. She was a native of Watervury and had al- ways made her home in this city. For nearly twenty years with her sisters, she had resided in Wa terville. Naturally, of retiring disposition, she entered very little into the life of the community but was beloved by all who had the

 Malnutrition Cause
 Its perfectly obvious" she said. During the past several years many of these boys must have suf- fercd malnutrition. Not only fam flies on relief lists have had to cur tail their diets. I should judge that many of the families not actually receiving relief were probably in worse case than those who did. as far as food is concerned.
 Relief recipients at least have the benefits of a planned diet whereas families of limited means who choose their own food have selected 1t in hit or miss fashion, without much thought to necessary calories and vitamins.
 Insufficient Food
 Growing youngsters, under these circumstances, must have suffered through insufficient food, a diet lacking in plenty of nourish- ing milk, butter and the like. The situation is not at all surprising"
 The recruiting station in the post office building opened more than two weeks ago with the announce ment that 34 young men from this city and vicinity were to be select ed during the current month. The quota Is the largest allotted to the city in any single month of a peace time enlistment period. Since the opening of the office, more than 100 applicants have been examined and less than 20 successfully pass ed the tests.

to be making a supreme effort to have
application of sanctions against Italy

Usually well-informed ecclesiastical
sources said the Holy Father was still
hopeful that League Of Nations powers
would delay imposition of trade bans

sanctions might not be applied and

Pope Confident.
Pope Plus was said by informed
church circles to realize there re-
mained only three days to arrange
postponement of the penalties, but
to be confident nevertheless.
The Papal nuncio to Paris had al
ready become extremely active in pre-
senting the Vatican views to Premier
Pierre Laval of France.
The Pontiff also has many influen-
tial agents among his representatives
in other countries. all Of whom 1t was
said undoubtedly have been instructed
to plead the cause of peace.
Ecclesiastical sources said 1t was the
Vatican's belief that delay in sane

great economic disorder but also would
increase tremendously chances for
settlement of the Italo-Ethiopian war
which might come through collapse
of the Ethiopian resistance.

Kennedy has just returned from a

Kennedy said Europeans are confident

their money. particularly in view of

Kennedy said the tremendous rush
of gold from Europe has serious as
poets, since if conditions abroad
should improve to the extent Of send
ing this gold back to Europe very
suddenly there would unquestionably
be severe break in the money mar
ket Of this country.
According to Kennedy, there are
three distinct ways in which this
European gold is coming into this
country. First, for the settlement of
foreign trade balance here; second,
for safe keeping, and. third, for pur-
