 Other exhibits decorousiy depict ing Waterbury's early history are instruments used by old time doe. tors and dentists; tableware. trink- cts, clothing, furniture, tools mir TOTS. newspapers, phainplets, boats. carriages, musical instruments, weapons, and even a high chair or two that once served in some of the households of long ago.
 The chief topic of most conver- sations at the table, in the parlor and at the office and shop nova days is Waterbury's history. And to be well voiced one must of ne. cessity visit either the public li. brary or the museum for suitable data.

Victor Ritkteraitis, 90, of 5 North Leonard street, was on his way to work at 7:AO thls morning, driving up South Main street toward the centcd. That he arrived at work late was not entirely his own fault.
 As Victor drove past East Clay street, he. heard . police whistle t0ot, and halted un. til Motor PatrOlman Joseph Tavallo arrived at the side of his car.
 "You just passed q red light" said the motor patrOlnan. 'Ict me sec your license"
 "l haven't any,, answered Victor.
 '"Let's'', suggested Motor Pa. trolman LayallO, ssboth Of us go to the police station"
 At Q o'clock this morning Victor faced Judge John F. McGrath in city court on charges of passing . red light and operating without . II. ccnse.
 s'Thcrc are too many young fellows driving without licen. ses". said the judge. "Five and costs on each count"
 By the time Victor had SC. curcd a friend to pay the fine and was able to leave police headquarters, it was after S:3O. He must have been quite late for work.

Tho quiet of tho room was brok- on only by an occasional crackie of paper as the professor turned n page.

Academic the room really was, for this was the profossor's study.
 The sacred quiet was suddenly disturbed by tangent thought which came rushing through the peaceful atmosphere to smite the professor full force. catapuitinR him out of his chair with startling abruptness. Out the door and down tho hall he wont. further disturb- ing the peace with his cry:
 "Janol oh. Jane! Where the devil arc you?"

 Although he had known her for several years. the professor had never ceased to regard the Adams woman as some new species of am- azon.

 "Ohl" The professors simple had the immediate ef- feet of multiplying the Brown asi- tation by two.
