The committee in charge of the Citizens Appeal for the Salvation Army met at the call Of Mayor Frank Hayes, the general chairman yesterday afternoon in the Alder manic Chambers of City Hall.
 Mayor Hayes opened the meeting declaring that from his own obser- vation he had found that there was a definite need for the work of the Salvation Army in Waterbury. He emphasized the fact that without the help of the Salvation Army the problem of caring for the needy and unemployed would be a tremendous 1y increased one. He said "They can get more for the dollar than you or I can.. Whenever we let our hearts run away with our heads or hands, we make mistakes in the matters of welfare" He declared that he was sure the citizens of Waterbury, as in times past, would again rally to the support of the Army in the pres ent campaign and provide them with the needed amount for their work.

long past, but an age that has
left behind such indelible finger
prints that its outlines can often
be accurately calculated.
To carry on the story it Is re.
lated that on the night chosen for
the uprising q storm Of a magni-
tude hardly ever before felt in that
locality swelled the branches and
the creeks, considerably dampened
the ardor of the NegreS and halted
the advances.
It is the story of an incident but
the author has chosen to put such
warmth Of feeling and true sense
of character into its telling that 1t
clearly takes its place as Q novel
of distinction.

Idyl" is q reflection Of upper New
York skyscrapers in Q Central
Park lake.
Mr.. Trapier's Skyscrapers are
majestic and he evidently Is proud
Of the American spirit that makes
them possible.
Three Washington scenes are In
the Trapier exhibition. One en-
titled Green Avenues-N. H.
Ave-" Is evidently the artists con-
ception Of the National Capital
city Of trees in the spring. The
other two are entitled "The Dawn
of a New Metropolis" and "The
Nations Capital-Autumn."
Florida scenes, dingy Partisan
streets, the majestic pyramids Of
Egypt and a few miscellaneous
scenes complete this very inter
eSting, pleasing and lovely exhibi-
ton.
Mr.. Trapier is Q native Amer
lean of French Huguenot and
English descent. He was born in
Washington and studied here, in
New York and abroad. After q
varied career, which included work
ing as a secretary in the Depart
ment Of Agriculture and writing
for the Paris Times. he started
painting about six years ago.
City Streets
He has Travelled and lived on
three continents, and wherever he
has gone, he had made his pictures,
on the streets Of great cities as
well as in remote villages.
His work has been exhibited In
America, Egypt and in Europe.
Long before the birth Of his cur.
rent interest in American life
from the artistic viewpoint, Mr..
Trapier was q strong believer and q
worker for the idea that American
art should have. its roots In Amer
lean life and thought.
His medium, that Of crayon
drawings, makes it possible for him
to interpret the outdoor aspect Of
metropolitan areas.

KILLER Munsey, the most
hated man Of his time in the
Journalistic world, Is q subject
around which many Q tale has
been woven.
Mr.. Britt has based his story Of
MunSey on the memories Of the
men who worked in the news
papers and magazines Munsey
owned, directed and killed.
It win be recalled that MunSey
went Striding forward in business
from the publication Of magazines
to the expansion Of . chain Of
grocery stores and thence to fail
ure after failure in his effort to
build up q chain Of newspapers.
Mr.. Britt writes that MunSey
met his defeat In trying to handle
newspapers in q strict business
sense as he handled his grocery
chain.
Mr.. Britt denies q malice in Mr..
Munsey's actions. His eccentrici-
ties; his antipathy toward fat
men; his refusal to let his men
smoke in office; his abrupt
changes in staff all were the out
growth of q mans ambition for
money and power.
Despite the stories that flood
the memory Of newspapermen to-
day Of a MunSey who was auto
cratic, cruel, heartlesS and particu-
larly offensive to all who worked
under him, Britt pictures him as
q man whose bark was worse than
his bite; who was childish In his
likes and dislikeS but whose gen
eroSity often more than repaid Q
victim for the tQngue-laShing that
was MtlnSey'S special forte.

trip the young boy turned his
energy to collecting all the humor
Gus picture books he could get his
hands on. It Is indicated that In
this hobby was formed the basis
for the comic strip idea that wa
to prove so popular in the news
papers later at his command.
When he reached the age Of Il
his first political hero, Samuel J.
Tilden, suffered defeat in his hope
IfoE the Presidency and young
Hearst learned that o reformeI
has a hard row to hoe In public
office.
Mrs. Older points out that he
chose Dickens as his favorite
author, has always been very much
interested in the theater but
never has shown much liking for
society.
From this point on the volume
builds up the. life Of the young
man to the eminence he attained
at the control Of his group Of news
papers.
we see him at Harvard, business
editor Of the Lampoon, building
up the circulation and advertiS-
ing Of the magazine although he
did not realize that his life work
had begun.
When he left college he begged
his father TO let him edit the San
Francisco Examiner. He also
began Immediately to recognize
that large salaries for the editor
ial workers would have to be paid
If newspapers were to succeed.
At first his father sent him to
Mexico to the gold mines. but a.
though he was only % the young
man wanted only to edit the Ex-
amfner and in February, 1887, It
was turned over to him.
A Fighter
A fun picture Is now painted
in Mrs. OlderiS book Of tho times
and personalities. The stories Of
the young editors battles On be-
half Of the people are exciting
and entertaining. He discovered
Ambrose Bierce and fought many
q thrilling campaign. This pOr.
ton is full Of Journalistic stories,
and during the telling 1t becomes
apparent that soon people be
came aware Of the fact that Mr..
Hearst was q fighter.
During his many crusadeS the
editorials Of the Examiner were
filled with demands for rights for
the workers and q fair deal for
the underdog. It Is recounted
that one time when Mr.. Hearst
was holding up the press time
he said:
"ThO paper must be right.
Nothing else matters"
The romantic story Of Evan
gelina Cisneros Is retold. The
story Of the hoax pulled by the
Journal to catch the Evening
World which had been stealing
news: the founding Of the Chi.
cago American: the true story Of
the assassination Of Mckinley:
the breaking Of the coal and ice
trusts; Mr.. Hearst'S work in Con-
gress; his mayoralty fight-all are
given adequate attention.

New Data
Or MIRA

It can hardly be said that In
'The Rainbow" Donald Richberg
has presented the case for tho
defense Of NRA. More properly,
his new book might be termed q
vigorous affirmation Of political
and economic principles which he
has been known to espouse for
Q long time.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Richberg has
contributed q valuable addition
to the history Of NRA. It is al
ways readable and at times the
sly little digs he takes at others,
one Of whom is easily recognized
Is General johnson, make the
book highly entertaining.
Mr.. Richberg devotes a long
chapter to the theories Of Henry
George, IN which it is made plain
he thoroughly agrees with the
late single tax advocates views
on the rights Of those who inherit
large estates. This, however, is
only one Of the chapters which
are likely to take the book into
the controversial field.
The author describes, quite in
detail, how he came to be mixed
UP with NRA at all, and leaves
the reader with the impression
that had the original intent of
the act creating it been carried
out perhaps the Supreme Court
might not have thrown the whole
thing out the window.
It Is his opinion that this was a
rolling stone that gathered en-
tirely too much moss, although
he does not put it just that way,
and that the moss, in the form
Of the many codes put into effect
was what ultimately led to the
downfall Of the great enterprise.
Mr.. Richberg has an entertain
ing style, even when he is elab-
Grating upon legal phases, all too
often made so dry that the
reader mods over the pages. The
book Is one which should be read
by all who are interested in the
economic phases through which
the country has passed and is still
passing.
