from four to six feet deep, but was
solid The water was still cutting
through the center and our wheels
dropped down until our running
boards would drag. Only two cars
got over after we did, and then a
truck tried it and stuck so the rest
We're hung up for the night
1t sure was some trip. 1t was
hot on us all the way. Even in the
mountains it was almost too hot to
sleep.
l must tell you about the crickets
we saw coming out here. First we
saw big road signs Dangerous,
Crickets," or Slippery, Crickets." ;"
We noticed some on the road We
came to a nice straight stretch.
Foothills on one side, nice pasture
on the other, and there was a fence
made of sheet iron about IL to II
inches high on the foothill side.
We saw man working this fence
which was at least mile long, and
we stopped and asked him about it.
He said the crickets would not
jump this fence, but would be going
to the foothills or coming back af-
ter ldylHS Iu0lT eggs III the sage
bushes. They would follow the
fence and would be caught in the
traps either direction, and once in
the pens would be killed by the hot
sun. In the last "a hours there
had IL cars slipped off the road due
to the crickets making it SO slip
perry. This was before the fences
or road workers were out. One
cricket would get killed then dozens
gather around and eat the one, and
maybe these get run over and then
SO many it was just as slick as
glass.
He said there We're 200 men at
this work at one time, and they es-
timated that one catch in his Sec
tion Zone mile) amounted to 1900
bushels of crickets. They eat any
thing most. 1t looks as if the farm
ers have something working against
them all the time.
We saw Frank Clendenon the
other day. | called him and he
came out to help us look for a place.
He is fine, looks like he always did
Everything in California is fine as
always.

Visiting the Great Lakes exposi-

vile people made free long distance
telephone calls from the Ohio Bell
Telephone company's exhibit in the
Hall of Progress.
Mrs. Mary Hooper called her

200 visitors who are awarded free
calls to any point in Ohio each day
at the telephone exhibit.
Other visitors "listened in on
their calls. Provision is made at the
telephone exhibit for 120 persons to
'listen in on the free calls. To
demonstrate long distance service,
visitors are furnished receivers and
enjoy the good-natured sport of
'eavesdropping" on the person MAX
ing the call. The caller and person
to whom the call is made are both
Informed of this fact by the operator
who puts the call through.
Listening in is great fun for the
spectators. Many humorous Incl
dents arise when the party receiving
the call ignores the operators warn
ing that others are listening
One of two men who had come to
Cleveland with their wives won a
call to friend back home.
''If we can ditch our wives,' he
told the friend "we're going to
good burlesque show"
One man called his wife in Bridge
port and greeted her with a breezy
Hello" and announced that he was
having swell time at the exposi-
ton.

 Good Representation
 Lower Baldwin street and Wash- ington Hill will be represented by Q large delegation at tonight's alder manic session. It is expected that the aldermanic chamber will be filled to overflowing by residents of the district, all of them in favor of the citys plans for beautifying and improving the approach to the Baldwin street and Washington Hill area.
 Under the city engineers plans the shannahan, Phelan and DiVito buildings will be torn down. The grade of Baldwin street in the irn- mediate vicinity of the new Baldwin street bridge will be raised six feet SO as to do away with Q bad grade now existing. Curves will be made sweeping to eliminate bad trattic corners.
 This evenings session of the board of aldermen, an adjourned one, promises to be one of the most largely attended meetings of that body in several years.

TWO CHAMPIONS
 ARE DEFEATED
(Continued from Page 1.)

the end of Fridays first qualifying round, lost four and two to Mrs. H. V. Newton, 35-year-old brown haired star who was 6 semi-finalist in the 1923 and 1925 tournaments. Mrs. Hill, who suffered the worst beating of any of the American Curtis cup stars in the recent tour nament with Britain's women, was eliminated by Molly Gourlay Of England, three and two.
 Other Americans Won
 The other Americans scored easy victories over their British op- ponents. Patty Berg of Minneapolis, the sensational little red-head who had trouble with her game up until Friday, routed Mrs. M. Barron of England six and five. Mrs. Leona D. Cheney of Santa Monica, Cal. scored an equally impressive victory over Mrs. Helen Holm of Troon England, who had whipped Miss Berg in the recent Curtis cup sin- gles. :.
 Mrs. Maureen Orcutt Crews oi Coral Gables, Fla, winner of the qualifying medal in the 1882 tourna- rnent, whipped Mrs. D. D. Grant white of Ireland, four and three while Marion Miley, dark-haired pretty Lexington, Ky, star elim' mated Doris Park of England foui and three.
 The g survivors will play two le-hole rounds tomorrow, which VII reduce the field to eight. Quarter and semi lfinaIs are scheduled foi Wednesday with the 36-hole finaii Thursday.

federal positions are handed out to certain party leaders who on Satur- day swung behind the Maloney-Fitz- Gerald standard to defeat Paul R. Connery of Norwalk in his quest Of the national committee post. It is understood that two of those who swung will get WpA jobs. John T. Cullinan of Bridgeport, who swung Bridgeport's 53 votes to the Fitz- gerald sides of the fracas, IS report CT in line for an assistant U. s. at- torney's job under U. s. Attorney General Homer s. Cummings de- partment. This is one of the jobs un- derstood to have been promised by the new guards" in control of fed eral posts in order to swing votes to Fitzgerald.
 Prestige of Roosevelt
 The outstanding fact of the con- Vention was that the prestige Of President Roosevelt's administration was at stake. Tn fact, 1t was his cabinets honor that was on the block. U. s. Attorney General Cum mings was openly backing ex- Mayor FitzGerald for the post of national committeeman after Na- tional Committeeman Archibald Me- Neil of Bridgeport withdrew in favor of the New Haven man. To defeat FitzGerald would be to defeat Cum mings and to defeat Cummings would be to indirectly rebuR the power of the Roosevelt adninis- tration in Connecticut. Such a thing couldn't be allowed, hence the reported last minute handing out of jobs by WPA and other federal officials.
 Cummings Was Impartial
 It must be admitted that as chairman of the convention Attor- ney- General Cummings acted in a very impartial manner and won the praise of both the "old guard" and the new guard" He was not bound to any formal procedure, however, in the private conferences that took place throughout the early hours of Saturday morning when he sat in with FitzGerald and Spellacy trying to iron out the difficulties. The con- ference did not end until almost 6 o'clock Saturday morning, but 1t did not avert the battle on the floor of the convention which followed.
 Cullinan Surprised Them
 To Town Chairman Cullinan of Bridgeport, president of the Con- necticut Young Democrats who was elected to that post only Q couple of weeks ago in Waterbury, went the credit of pulling the most dram- atic act of the convention. The "old guard" expected at least 38 of Bridgeport's 63 votes. When Bridge port was called on the roll call Town Chairman Cullinan asked that the city be passed temporarily. This was done.
 The roll call followed a motion by

YOUNG HUSBAND
 FALLS TO DEATH

Boston, May 1s.-(UP)-Edmund P. Collins, 24.year old gasoline sta- ton attendant, leaped or fell 76 feet from an apartment house roof to his death early today while his bride of nine months, on expectant moth- CT, waited in the same building for him to return from work. Shatters ing of glass in the bathroom window of their fourth-flo Brighton aparts ment prompted Mrs. Collins to ask neighbors to investigate. On tho ground they. found her husbands crushed body.
 Examinatoln of the window con. vinced police Collins could not have plunged throug hit, but they frank. ly were mystified as to what had shattered the glass. The 1e-year old widow insisted her husband had not been in the apartment. She said he often went to the roof on warm nights before retiring.

CContinued from Page 10 the actual leaders of the "old guard" and the "new guard. The intent of the coming testimonial gathering is to unify the rank and file of the party so that Connecti- cut can once more sweep to victory this November. It is expected that the merging of the two groups and the wiping out of the two factional lines will possibly send Connecti- cut, this time, into the democratic electoral column for President Roosevelt.
 Date Coming Later
 The actual date and place of the coming testimonial to the party leaders will be announced within a few days by Lieutenant Governor Hayes. The Elton or other suitable places in Waterbury and vicinity are being mentioned for the scene of the notable gathering that may bring about Q unification of demo- cratic party members in Connecti- cut. Mayor Hayes will announce hii fellow committee members shortly
