The Whys. And
  Whergtores . Of Good Clothes

The best answer we know of why you should wear good clothes is the simple fact they're more eco- nomical. In these days when economy is thrust upon most peo- pie, here's a point to consider. Buy a ''Hardiweave" suit at $35 wear it steadily for say three years-many are worn longer. This coats you less than $12.OO.a year for suits.
 Buy a $25 suit, wear it one year and what ha ve you? mot much. In three years three $25.OO suits cost you $25.OO . year. Buy a $35.OO "Hardi- weave" and save $40 on your suits in three years.

was to say that she had made that statement when Lieut.. Stevens promised her $200.
 Testimony Unshaken During her two hours on the stand, the girl, whose real name Is Jennie Brazicki, remained unshak- en, despite cross examination, in her many pieces of testimony against Burns and Churchelow. She testified that Burns told her about the "job being pulled off," that Churchelow had given his uncle in New York roll of bills and warm ed the uncle to be sure to furnish an alibi for his (Churchelow's) whereabouts on the night of the burglary, that she had been given some of the Armour loot with which to buy clothes.
 Her testimony, mainly against Burns and Churchelow. presented little evidence to duplicate the third suspect, Giles, thereby aiding him to win a discharge.
 i Already bound over to superior court, Burns and Churchelow now face another hearing tomorrow on the witness tampering accusation. The states case, undoubtedly. will consist mainly of a repetition of her testimony today by the Brazil girl. -
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-21

Stevens went on the stand to testi- fly that Giles had admitted that he had knowledge of the crime before it was committed. Since the evld- ence did not directly link Giles with Churchlow and Burns, the dis
 charge was given Giles despite the additional testimony. " Girl Important Witness
 The Brazil girls testimony was the most important and most sem sational of the whole hearing,
 which lasted from ego to this morning to 3:10 this afternoon with
 but three short recesses. The sur prise charge this afternoon were the result of her testimony that Churchelow and Burns had given
 her $3O last Tuesday to leave town. with the understanding that she would not appear against them to-
 day. Admitting that she spent five dollars of that amount, she produc-
 ed the remaining $25 of the al- legged bribe today and 1t was ad- mitted in evidence.
 Her other testimony was the
 main bulwark of the states case and was substantially responsible for the bind-over of ChurcheloW and Burns. In addition to the bribe, she claimed, Burns and Churchelow met her later last week, with Burns meeting her as late as last night and urging her not to testify today. She alleged that Burns had told her that 1t she did go on the witness stand. she was to fatly deny q. statement about the Armour case which she

 .. IN GREEK EVENT

New York, Jan 21. (UP)-A Greek orthodox church ceremony symbolic of the baptism of Christ in the River Jordan left clergy and laity dismayed to-day. The first and major veent left regrets. A Christ carved on a gold and silver crucifix was thrown into New York bay off the battery. Procedure called for many stalwarts to jump in and for one to retrieve it after a battle. But only two churchmen participated. l. Spero Panos, restaurant owner, shivering in a, red bathing suit, faced Harry Marines, 8 hat clean CT. The latter wore black trunks and a striped jersey.
 Panos reached the crucifix be- fore 1t sank. Marines went into ac- tion. He swam up behind Panos and wrenched the crucffix from
 him. Then Marinos went ashore and received the Bishops blessing.
 I'm surprised at you, Harry,

MINISTER READ
 PART OF BOSTON BANNED DRAMA
Mayor Had Forbidden It in Theaters No Action
 Against Pastor

Boston, Jan 21- (UP) - When the Rev Emerson s. Schwenk oi the Church of the Redemption in Boston's Back Bay read portions of Sean O'Casey's banned play within the Gates" his congrega- ton included plain clothes police and a police stenographer.
 The city board of licenses, of which Police Commissioner Joseph J, Leonard and Mayor Frederick w. Mansfield are members, voted to revoke the license of any Boston theater presenting the drama, and its producers have cancelled a con tcmplatcd showing here.
 The Rev Schwenk previously had announced he would read disputed portions of Within the Gates" particularly the scene between q woman of the streets and an An glican bishop, at Sunday evening service.
 During the reading before a spare congregatio of only 40 persons, the police stenographer took rapid shorthand notes.
 Today. however, Leonard said he contemplated no action against the clergyman and that the officers were at the church merely to "get general information as to this book"
 The Rev Schwenk vigorously defended the work.
 After emphasizing that his opin- ions were purely personal and in no way those of the official church he said
 From the viewpoint of the op- portunity for service shown in the play. the church should get down on it's knees and thank God for en- Tightening 1t as to these conditions. This doesn't attack the church. It points the way the church can be of service"
