CandyMar,, Once Wealthy Is Working His Way Back

thought represented genius. But he showed no enthusiasm. An, she thought, he has lost is courage, for sure. He'll never do anyting with this.
 The bar was named Garden Gems. Each night he made up supply and each morning lett early. He came back evenings, tired and silent. He explained haltingly his process of steamips and crystallizing vegetables to re- tain natural vegetable sugar - something that had never @ Il done before. But she saw that his spirit was gone. There was no fire. Well, she thought, perhaps he Is too old.
 This continued for weeks. Last week, her sister came racing into the apartment, so excited she talked in gasps. She had been walking in the Times Square dis trict. In front of a theater, where in years past the Washburn lim- cuisine was accustomed to drop the candy king of Manhattan. she had seen Q man who had made her stop snort. IL was Hdiu lo ieCuE' nize the candy king. He had l. sign suspended around his neck and he was peddling his candy fir o m a suitcase.
 That night confession was de- manded and given in the one-room apartment. "I didn't have the courage to tell you l was peddlinS on the streets" explained the old man. But I've got almost enough money now to open another store" That's fine, Jim." she said, smil- ing thoue; she '.idn't feel Ii k c smiling. She added to herself: "Who said anything about cour' age?"

New York, April 13 - (UP) - Eighteen years James and Anne Washburn worked in the candy business and finally they had an income of s50,00O year. After the depression swallowed h e r candy factory and the last of their 15 stores, Anne often found her 78-year-old husband sitting in the window of their one-room apars- ment, staring into space.
 "Now do stop moping, Jim, she would say. Be courageous, dear. Sure, we had our nine room apartment and had $1OO,0CO worth of diamonds and you had your mahogany sanctum and your chauffeur and we had our country home. But we lost them all ana we couldn't help 1t. So what diner- ence does it maker" Without so much as turning his head, re re- plied:-
 "Tm not moping, Anne. I'm thinking"
 "All right, think, dear. But don't lose your courage. Don't lose 1t, you hear?"
 He didn't hear; he was thinking. Day after day, week after week, he thought. Anne thought he Was moping: that he was broken. If he would only smile, or laugh, or be cheerful. One day he wen out early, came back with arms load ed with assorted vegetables. All dav he worked over a gas plate and at evening invited Anne to taste his greatest confecti"n vegetable candy bar.
 She marveled. It was delicious. From beets, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes. corn, and spinach coated with a thin layer of chocolate he had made a new taste which she

WATERBURY TO
 LOSE BIG INCOME
 BY PENSION LAW
If Old Age Bill Passes Nearly $5O,OOO Would
 Be Lost Here

Waterbury, it is estimated, win suffer loss in income of between $40,000 and $45,000 annually if the old age pension act, as reported favorably in the house at Hart ford. is passed including the pro- vision calling for $3 head tax in lieu of the present personal tax While the personal tax money col lected goes into the city's treasury, the $3 head tax to be collected will be taken from the city and used to finance state old age pensions.
 Personal Tax Would Drop.
 In other words, the $2 personal tax now collected annually will be eliminated and the $3 head tax set up in it's place so as to take care of the old age pensions. It is ex- pected that this provision in the old age act will go through al- though many objections to other features of the bill as favorably re- ported have been raised, so much

 BADLY INJURED
Woman Trapeze Performs CT Falls 25 Feet; Career
 May Be Ended

New York, April t3-tUP) -4 25-foot plunge before q mortified audience was feared today to have ended the circus career of one of the worlds most daring acrobats.

 The girl suffered fractures of both forearms and possible frac-J lures of both upper arms. Her facos was lacerated, but q preliminary examination failed to show inter- nal injuries. Physicians were con- fident she would recover, but she may never again attain the poises on a trapeze which left her witfs out a rival in balancing acts. |
 Miss Olvera thrilled 5000 specs tators as she swung to and fro or the trapeze at the matinee per- formance. She depended on bal- ance alone, not using her hands. She even forced the trapeze into weird gyrations, and then went into whirlwind finish. As the apf plause filled the Garden, the girl thrust her legs. sailor fashion, around a rope, to descend. She res5 leased her grip on the trapeze ana appeared to catch the rope, but iit that instant spectators were hor- rified to see the body swing free and fall.
 Promoted Yesterday
 Miss Olvera had been promoted only yesterday to the place of hon- or in the arena. She had started her second year with the circus and was said to have fallen once before and broken three ribs. Her aunt was her teacher in acrobat-s ics. She is a native of Mexico.

Shall the Federal Government Bal
ance It's Budget, and, If So. How?"

OF prediction. The budget makers al
ways take the conservative course Of
listing a maximum of expenditures
against a minimum estimate Of re-
ceipts. However, 1t Is q readily con-
ceded fact that better business means
greater Government revenues.

told of retail business moving for
ward in keeping with the trend Of the
last few weeks" except for the Middle
West, where warm weather impeded
it. Wholesale trade also pushed ahead
with rising prices and acute shortages

ORGANIZATION FoREsEEN.
Cleveland and Midwestern Backing
Expected.

NEW YORK, September % R-
Banking circles have believed for some
time that when the Van Sweringen
collateral is put on the auction block
Monday afternoon it will be knocked
down to a corporation formed slowly
for that purpose.
Formation of such corporation had
been expected momentarily and it has
been understood in Wall Street that
it would have the backing of Cleve-
land and Midwestern interests.
The securities, which represent con-
troll Of the Van Sweringen properties,
have q current estimated value of
about $7,000,000. When they are auc-
toned on Monday by j. P. Morgan g.
Co., and associates, another step will
have been taken in ironing out one
of the most complex loan transactions
in Wall Street history.
The securities were put into the
hands of J. p. Morgan g. Co., and
associates, as collateral for the loans
granted the Cleveland Van Swerin-
gen brothers in the Fall of 1890.
At that time their holding COM
panies were confronted with pressing
obligations. On the one hand, they
were in debt to bankers other than
the Morgan group, by about sl9,000.-
600. Additional obligations then fall
ing due called for approximately
SIS, ,000, 900.
Capital to meet these debts was
supplied by the Morgan concern. Sub
sequently the Van Sweringens were
successful for some time in meeting
interest on the loan.

Farm Values Off II Billion
In 5 Years, Census Reveals

The Nations bread basket section
was hit hardest. Eight of the big
Middle Western producing States
showed decreases Of more than 80
per cent.
The six other Middle western
States were Illinois, 1873; Kansas,
35.2; Minnesota, 34.9; Missouri. 38.7;
Nebraska. 373: Oklahoma, $50.
Seven other States fell also into the
bracket between 80 and 40 per cent
decreases. They were: California. 3l.e;
Colorado, 332; Maryland, :2.3; MIS-
sissippi, 34.6; Nevada, 33.6: Virginia,
3o.7, and West Virginia, sos.
Most of the other States had de-
creases ranging between 20 and 80
per cent, with some of the New Eng
land States holding their values to
higher levels.
Two of the latter showed increases,
but in neither was farming classed as
the major industry.
Connecticut had gain in value Of
farm lands Of 24s per cent and Rhode
Island Of al. The first State has
$4,000 farms and the latter 1000.
Agricultural experts said the value
OF farm lands fluctuated according to
farm income. and that both were now
