Gardenias

Gardenias are tropical flowers
grown for their beauty and frag-
rance. They are for beautiful
women to wear in corsages to en-
hance the beauty. They are used
as expressions of sorrow at a fun
cal. Their scent IS copied by per-
fume manufacturers; their like
ness is copied by milliners and cos
tuners as a decoration for hats
and clothing. They cost a few
cents or several dollars each, ac-
cording to their size and rarity.
Some people have the superstition
of gardenias bringing luck. A
famous movie actress will never
be without one. She always has
one pinned around her wrist wher-
ever she goes, and her house is al
ways decorated with them.
There are various opinions re-
garding these fragrant white flow
ers. Some people say they are
their favorite flowers, for the rea-
son that they make them feel gay
and happy Others say that be-
cause of the heavy odor, gardenias
make them feel depressed and sad.
However, whatever their effects
may be, gardenias will always con-
tinue to be loved and admired by
feminine seekers of beauty and
fragrance.

Ways of Cutting Grass

Our grandparents had a very
crude method for cutting the grass
on their prize lawns; they turned
their hungry cattle out on it. In
this way they killed two birds
with one stone. The cows or hors-
es got their dinner and the grass
got cut.
This was a very crude method
because the heavy cattle tramping
on the soft ground caused the
lawn to be marred.
Later the sickle was used. This
proved to be a better cutter than
the cattle's teeth but still it was
not the best.
Then man began to think more
and as a result we have the lawn
mower or grass cutter as most of
us call it. Nearly every family
has one of these machines because
it has proved to be a successful
one. Then this machine has been
improved upon but still even the
most modern machine resembles
the ordinary one. Man has i'm
proved the machine by fixing it so
that gas can be its pusher rather
than a man. These newer improv-
ed machines are used on large es-
tates or public properties where it
is necessary to cut a large plot of
grass every week.

"What the Citizens of the United
States Die While Their Armies
Were Entangled In the World
Conflict

During tae World Conflict the
citizens that stayed at home did
as much as the warning faction.
They conserved their food, light,
fuel and clothing. Money was
given to such societies as "The
Red Cross" salvation Army"
and other helpful societies who
were collecting money and doing
work among the shattered citizen
ry of Belgium and France. There
were lightless nights, wheatless,
and fueless days people were will
ing to do without IN order to help
those who were and had seen the
brink of the halocast.
The Allied countries of Europe
had been in the war for two and
one-half years. Their resources
were given out and more were
needed, but from where The
answer came when the United
States entered the war. Ship loads
of resources. food, and clothing
were sent to Europe. Some were
given their first good meal in
weeks and others were washed,
clothed, and given shelter, all of
which helped stop the spread of
disease.
The Europeans were ver-joyed
with our everlasting help, even in
the way of billions of dollars, mu-
nitions, and fresh young soldiers to
keep back the much-dreaded
Huns" Today they are reestab-
lished, once more great powers in
Gods World. Are we still thank
ed? Yes. some! But what about
the debt owed us? Is this men
toned? Hardly ever. The claim
is that we got our share from the
great war, so why should they pay
us billions that we spent on them
III war times? Thus the world
rolls on, one minute appreciation
- shown highly, the next the ap-
preciable are forgotten and time
goes on

Sign of Spring

The other day, as was walking
about the yard, / go prof that
Spring is really here. When I say
proof, I mean just that. Let me
relate the little incident to you.
j felt a tickling on my hand.
'Oh," thought I, "A smart in
sect of some kind forcing the sea-
SON."
Without even looking / slapped
away at the loittle creature, what
ever it was. DID 1 get results i?
Listen to this. The tickling sud-
denly changed to a sharp pain.
Then is when gave the ''crawler'
some attention with my eyes.
One snip of my fingers and the
little fellow was gone. The pain
soon ceased and as I glanced up !
noticed whole swarm of honey
bees passing over.
Is spring here? You can bet
your life it is, because that is one
sign which never fails.

Typing Tests

AyPhhS A~Sss
AS the end of school nears US,
we start taking tipping tests. To
pass tipping for the year we must
make an average of thirty words
a minute. The tests started last
week. I found it quite an exper-
fence to take these. We type from
printed copies for five minutes;
then we find our number of words
from a scale. When the teacher
says, GO" all of the machines
start clicking; between the teacher
and the noise it is enough to scare
anyone to death. Anyone taking
these tests should have a strong
heart to be able to endure them.

MoNs1GNoR JOHN A. RYAN

The task of putting them in the mails was under way even before Ryan spoke.
 Ryan is a member of the faculty of Catholic University.
 T say deliberately to the labor ing men and women of America, he said, that Father Coughlin's explanation of our economic mala- dies is at least 50 per cent wrong and that his monetary remedies are at least 90 per cent wrong.
 If the latter were enacted into law, they would prove disastrous to the great majority of the American people, particularly to the wage earnerS.
 However, Father Coughlin's mon- etary theories and proposals find no support in the encyclicalS of either Pope Leo XIII or Pope Plus XI.
 "Toilers of America, I implore you not to permit yourselves to be miSled." '.
 In contrast, he cited President Roosevelt as "the man who has shown 8 deeper and more sympa- thetic understanding of your needs and who has brought about more fundamental legislation for labor and for social justice than any other president in American history"
 He characterized forecasts by Coughlin and Union party spokes- men that the candidacy of William Lemke will throw the election into the house of representatives as a delusion.
 DO not let yourselves be persuad- ed that your votes can throw the presidential election into the house" he said. "That cannot happen un- less MT. Lemke carries at least one state. Where is he going to find that state?"
 Ryan charged that those who make "the despicable assertion that the President of the United is a communist" are violators of the con- mandment which declares:
 "Thou shalt not bear false wit ness against thy neighbor."
 He said that persons who believed MT. Roosevelt was 8 communist were guilty of a sin "only one de- gree less than the sin of those who utter and spread the contemplate accusation"
 As against the charge, he cited the presidents religious devotion and the action of Catholic Universi- ty in awarding him an honorary degree citing him as "a man out standing among men for upright living, faithfulness to God and country, breadth of thought and wealth of kindly feeling"
 Ryan said that more frequently, however, the ugly accusation takes this form:
 Roosevelt may not be an out and-out communist, but he showes communistic tendencies
 "Those who make this milder ac- cusation pretend to offer some sort of proof. They assert that some of the presidents principal advisers and most prominent supporters are communists and that many of ms policies are communistic."
 Ryan named some advisers cited as communists together with ms own characterization of them.

STATE IS MOVING
 AGAINST PALKA

Bridgeport, Conn, Oct. 9.-(UP). The state moved with swift pre- cision today to definitely link Frank Palka, A, with the actual staying of two police officers here during an investigation of a radio store robbery Sept. 30. 1885.
 Palka, being Yetried on a state appeal from a second degree mur- der conviction, sat beside his coun- sel in superior court as witnesses to the robbery and shootings retold the testimony in the first trial last January.
 The footing of the music store was described by Mrs. Elizabeth Green, who lived near by. Daniel Himbunas, baker returning home from work, told of meeting man wearing dark suit and light hat and carrying bundle. He was hur- ring along the street, he said, and & few minutes later Sergt. Thomas Kearney and Patrolman Wilfrec Walker gave pursuit.
 Sergt. John J. Gerrity, an eye witness to the shooting, said he ar rived at the scene as both officers fell to the sidewalk and the gun. man fled. Gerrity said he fired sev. eral shots after the retreating fig. ure and then turned to aid his fel' low-officers. His description of tn. slayer was the same as that of thu cher witnesses.
 Gerrity still was on the stand or direct examir ation today.
 Palka is being tried only for thu killing of Kearnely. although in dicted o1 two charges of first degrel ! murder.

SMITH DIGS UP
 l932PLATFORM

Continued from Page 1.) "creating instead of destroying the market for American farm pro- duets"
 'Isn't it a nice thing to live in the state of New York and be q democrat9" he asked, his high pitched voice coated with sarcasm. And have the republican candidate for the governorSIip publicly enun- ciating Q plank of your party, de- livering himself to something that your party should have done, if it lived up to its promise, if 1t paid any attention to it's platform?
 ooh, 1t is a nice thing, pleasant, to be democrat under such cir- cumstances. For years and years [ was ready at the drop of the hat to hop all oyer a republican who said anything.
 1T can't do it this year. will tell you why. When you hop at a fellow, you have got to be right yourself"
 Smith invoked the names of such democrats as Jefferson and Cleve- land in urging his listeners to "sep- arate the political bunk from the facts." Cleveland, he added, set a notable precedent for political walks" when he abandoned Wil- liam Jennings Bryan 40 years ago.
 'The only difference in our case, as see it." Smith shouted, whip ping off his horn-rimmed glasses and leaning across the speakers stand, Sis that there is little more on my side for this reason: Grover Cleveland 40 years ago knew exact- ly what Bryan wanted to do to this country, because Bryan put it in the platform. Bryan did not seek the presidency of the United States on any false pretenses. He put it down in black and white"
 Then Smith discussed the 1892 democratic platform = "the best platform ever adopted by either party during the lifetime of any living person."
 "But," he shouted, If I thought that I was going to get the plat form of Norman Thomas rather than the platform of the democra- tic party, I will tell you what I would have done. I would have done something for Hoover that he didn't do for me. would have voted for him."

Home Of Defendants In Vice Raid Cases
 Discovered Ransacked
Local Court Official to Represent DeNcOIas in Federal COnrt-ObjeCts to COnfisCatiOn of BOOks-GOvern-
 ment Moves to Collect Taxes; Hearing Assigned

Alexander and Mary DiNicola, both of this city. The two face charges in federal court of being involved in the operations of vice ring in this state over a period of years.
 Protest Filed
 The protests have been filed by Judge Edward Mascolo, counsel for the accused. A hearing on the Di- Nicolas claims will be held in Hart ford the 20th.
 When the two were arraigned be- fore Judge Carroll 0. Hincks in United States district court this week on charges growing from 8 G. men investigation into white slave traffic in the New England states and New York, Judge Mascolo pro- tested against the federal mems procedure in seizing bank books and ransacking the DiNicola home. He declared that the couple would have no money for their defense, SlLlCe LLlG BONcT11ulcklt A1eu tAcu up all their funds. Judge Hincks re- fused to act on the protest, stating that the tax claims against the couple had nothing to do with the vice charges against them in federal court.
 Hearing Assigned
 The protests were filed yesterday with Thomas Smith, collector of Internal Revenue for Connecticut, and he set down a hearing on the matter for the 20th.
 The government has placed tax liens on property of the pair in this city and Plymouth. It is claimed that taxes due amount to $1,449, plus interest, the government al- leging that the tax is due on profits made by the DiNicola'S in their vice operations.
 Several bank books for deposits in Waterbury banks have been seized by the government. The amount in- volved is said to be at least several thousand dollars.

 "He has done many things that are commendable but has not even tried to prevent the cause of the entire depression"
 Continuing he said the president had fed the poor, but had failed to combat the forces which op- pressed them. He had not only failed to "drive the money-changerS out of the temple" but had "gone in with them"
 "If Lemke weren't in the field I'd tell you to vote for Roosevelt, he said.

 \ "They say this doctrine of mine is 90 per cent screwy. Well, I'm in good company" He then cited several passages from the state lments of Pope Plus XI which he said supported his doctrines. Y He also attacked communism, < saying priests and ministers should fight atheism which he said bred s it.
