visitors to the village. Lest We'd nesday afternoon the attention of several attendants was attracted to Q woman of indeterminate age, dressed in bulky clothing of black or some dark hue, who was sway ing apparently in prayer or deep thought at Q spot just to the left of and very near the large Lithu- anian cottage.
 Her lips were moving rapidly and her eyes were glued in fiery fixation upon spot near or above the chimney of the cottage itself. One of the attendants about to offer her any help or guidance within his power was almost frightened when with Q sudden loud shriek, she flung up her arms in q gesture of what might have been either exaltation or despair and lied up the path. The only object which could have been en- gazing her attention; said the watchers, was the imported stork from Lithuania, said to have a strange and uncanny history, which is placed in Q realistic nest at the peak of the Lithuanian cottage itself.
 Educators of state Include Village
 in School Curricula
 Some indication of the value of the exhibits at the village in fur therlng the education of the old and young may be gathered from the fact that more than six hun- dred students at high schools and even higher institutions from such cities as Meriden and Man. chester have been brought to Settlers Village with their teach- CTS, to inspect the wonders there available to them.
 The entire graduating class of the Connecticut State Teachers college at New Britain, we are told, visited the village in June. One of the future teachers became 50 interested in the exhibit in the Scandinavian house that she pur- chased the largest number of pic- lures of one house yet sold to one person, namely thirty-seven.
 The following letter of interest, especially to readers of Italian parentage was received by the manager of the village two weeks ago. It has not been released un- til this time in order that it might be verified:

Brass and Copper, and the Amer ican Brass companies, 50 that our iildustrialistS, too, would seem to indicate that they like to brag.
 One cannot blame any one who brings an out of city visitor to the village to see the unique exhibits, either, for never in the history of showmanship has an idea 50 brilliant been conceived as this one, whereby one can see on the one hand houses typical of more than a dozen municipalities and the continuation of their having been brought together in a modern American city in the industrial exhibit which shows the tools and the brass and copper and buttons and plowShares and literally thou- sands of other articles which they and their descendants make today in local factories. No wonder they return again and again with every newcomer to this city. Settlers Village is the ideal place to enter tain 8 visitor for Q minute or Q day.
 Attendants estimate that 1t re- quires from one hour to three hours, depending on ones thor oughness, to see the 11,328 sepa- rate items housed in the fifteen buildings and enclosures.

Mrs. Vailonis was well known especially among the Lithuanian residents of the Brook lyn section. She was a communicant of St. Joseph's church and was Q member of St. Ann's society and the Rutos society of the parish.

TENNIS DELAYED

(Continued from Page 1.) many defeated Dorothy Round, Bri- tain's No. l ranking player and 1884 champion 6-3, 8-6.
 Miss Round was seeded first, and Mrs. Sperling fifth. It was not quite as much ain upset as the dif- ference in seedlings would indicate, however, for the angular German woman, who never tires, has been playing magnificently of late.
 The defeat of Miss Stammers and Miss Round eliminated the last two English players. Mrs. Sperling's vic- tory placed her in the semi-final round.
 Was on Her Game
 Miss Round was 8 bit off her game. Her drives lacked their cus- tomary speed and depth, and she was repeatedly out-smarted by the German. Mrs. Sperling, far and away the best retriever in women's tennis, was an amazing court cov- erer against the 1894 champion. Time and again she raced into the net to play a drop shot, and then back to the baseline to handle the lob which followed.
 Early in the second set Miss Round broke a shoulder strap of her dress, and was forced to halt play a moment while she fixed 1t with pin borrowed from specta- tor. The pin was intellectual, how ever, and she asked Mrs. Sperling's permission to return to the club- house and have a seamstress re- pair 1t.
 Mrs. sperling refused, and Miss Round, ettled, rallied from 2-5 to tie the score at 5-all. In this rally she played beautifully. But she tired in the closing games and dou- bled-faulted at match point.
 In fifth round match the Franco American team of Sylvia Henrotin and Mrs. Dorothy Andrus of Stamford, Conn.,, defeated the English pair of Mary Hardwicke and Ermyntrude Harvey, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3. The veteran French Davis cup pair of Jean Borotra and Jacques Brugnon gained the quarter final round of the mems doubles with a 3-6, 7-5, 2-6, 9.7, 6-2, victory over the Australian internationalists Jack Crawford and Adrian Quist.

Ten persons were ar- rested during a clash between right and left demonstrators at Constan. tine. Several were injured, includ- ing policeman.
 Hotels Closed Hotel proprietors at Nice and other Riviera points decided to keep their hostelries locked against strikers. They urged restaurateurs to take similar action.

FATHER DUE FOR
BIG CHRISTMAS

NEW YORK. Oct 90. U.p) - 1t
looks like bad Christmas for Ju-
nior but a great one for father.
The gadgets exhibited today by
the toy manufacturers of the Unit
ed States in a preview of gifts for
youngsters are just what father
has been looking for. He ought to
have a, barrel of fun.
There's that thing which Ruth
Millard. the toy associations press
agent, described as a walking beam
engine-a don't know what it's
for" Well, father will know, Junior
won't.
This is, said Miss Millard, sci
ence's year in toyland." 1t is also
industrys. Of the more than $4,000
items displayed, nearly half were
engines, railroads, chemistry sets,
automobiles, or compact laborator-
les for the young physicist, aStron-
omer or radio engineer.
All the toy vehicles are, of course,
streamlined, even the dump truck
with the purple lever.

turers expect to beat last years

gestions, he said. were "contemp-
tible. unpatriotic.
IF they really believe what they
say in the pay envelope" he said,
they have no confidence in our
form of government or its per-
manenee. It might be well for
them to move to some other ma
ton in which they have greater
faith"
Declaring certain. employers are
carrying their anti-New Deal SEN
timents to the pay envelope, Mr..
Roosevelt said:
How far We have come is shown
by the patriotic resentment with
which labor and the public alike
are meeting the latest attempts of
a handful of employers to miSlead
and coerce labor with regard to
the social security act. Here is
repetition Of the arrogance and
ruthlessness which the operators
utilized to try to break the solid
ranks of labor when the miners
fought at Armageddon in 1902.
mo employer has a right 10
put his political preferences in the
pay envelope. That is coercion
even if he tells the truth.
But this propaganda misrepre-
sents by telling only half the truth.
Labor and a fair-minded public
must place such tactics in class
with the coercion of the strong
arm squad and the whispering OF
the planted labor spy.
This pay envelope propaganda
has one clear objective-to sabo-
tage the social security act. To
sabotage that act is to sabotage
labor. For that act, as you know,
was worked out with labor and
enacted with the active support
of labor-all kinds of labor.
why do these employers seek
to repeal the social security act?
Because under the act they have
to pay far more than half of the
insurance given to the workers.
Get these fat< straight.
"The act provides for two kinds
of insurance for the worker.
For that insurance both the
employer and the worker pay pre-
miums-just as you pay premiums
on any other insurance policy.
Those premiums are collected in
the form of the taxes you hear
so much about.
"The first kind of insurance
covers old age. Here the employer
contributes one dollar of premium
for every dollar of premium con-
tributed by the worker; but both
dollars are held by the govern
ment solely Tor the benefit of the
worker in his old age"
Mr.. Roosevelt said the second
kind of insurance was unemploy-
ment lnsurance-''to help the work
er and his family over the diff
cult days when he loses his job"
