 Was Destitute
 She was destitute when her hus- band went to prison, Mrs. Bercier said, and she secured help from the welfare department. The Red Gross also gave her aid, she said, and on one occasion she was saved from Starvation when firemen at head quarters took up Q collection for her. Members of the police depart xnent also gave her money, she said.
 While in prison, her husband se- cured an advance of 97S0 on his Boldiers' bonus, she testified, but he did not give her any of 1t. t Could Use Bonus Money
 'When he gets the rest of his bonus this summer do you wish he'd give you a couple of hundred dol- lars?" she was asked by her coun- sel, Attorney Edward F. Sweeney.
 Mrs. Berciers eyes lighted un. ssT'd take the children and 90 back to the old country" she said. T was happy there. My mother is still alive and I have many relatives there"

Committee sentiment appeared to be strong for all features of the presidents proposals, except that for re-enactment of Q modified process ing tax. There were indications that this tax might be dropped.
 Process Levies to Go
 The principal change that ap- peared probable in administration plans was the discard of proposed new processing levies to help reim- purse the treasury for the $6i7,000,- 900 made necessary for the 1935-1936 farm program after the supreme court outlawed the AAA.
 The presidents tax program to balance the ordinary budget calls for $620, 900, ,000 in new revenue-$500,- 100000 for the farm program and $120, 100000 for the bonus-annually with an added $172, ,000, ,000 in each of the next three years to repay the $517, 100000.
 May Raise $792,O0O,OOO
 Leading democrats on the ways tbAAAA NCAVNVA VAAbv on the basis of treasury estimates 1t would be possible to raise nearly $792, 100000 without imposing the proposed $22l ,000, ,000 of new process ing levies on more than 20 commodi- ties.
 Revision of the $e20,0000 00O cor- porate unudistributed surplus tax to give partial exemption for "rea- sonable reserves" would reduce the yield from this source by only $50,- 100000, according to congressional estimates. Coupled with the wind fall tax on uncollected processing taxes, to yield $160,000,000, new revenues of $730,000,000 would be possible, tax expuerts said.
 If all the new tax sources consid- cred were tapped-and they range from proposals to hike individual income tax to 8 general manufac- turers excise levy-more than $1,- 900, ,000, ,000 in addition revenue would flow into the treasury.

 March, police said, shot his moth CT and then killed himself by hold ing the gun against his body and pulling the trigger with his foot.
 March Was Printer
 March had been employed as re- lief station agent by the New Haven railroad and conducted a side busi- ness of printing. He had been reg ularly employed and neighbors said they saw him in the yard about an hour before the shooting, pacing up and down.
 Mrs. March was the widow of James II. March. She lived alone with her son and there were no known relatives.
 Neighobrs said they did not hear the shots, which were fired from a gun which March kept in his col- lection of pistols, rifles and shot, guns.
 Murder, Suicide
 Weeks summoned Police Capt. Harry Waller and Medical Examiner John J. Russell. The latter said the daths were murder and su!- eide. No motives were suggested and March did not leave note.
 Investigation was carried out by State and County Police and Cor oner Louis Zehrer, who permitted the bodies to be removed to an un- dertaking parol.
 Acquantances of the Marchs described Mrs. March as 8 quiet motherly woman. devoted to her son and home and March as Q steady and reliable worker, who apparent ly had no worries.

 nection with the new construction activities.
 The city of Waterbury and offi- cials of the Waterbury Buckle Com pany have 1t is understood, reached an amicable agreement whereby the land needed for the new highway cut will be sold to the municipality when the proper time arrives.
 The tearing down of the factory building at the corner of South Main street and Washington avenue will not only form straight-of-way from Washington street but will also eliminate blind corner. Accord ing to 8 previous statement of Executive Secretary Thomas P. Kelly, there are several engineering problems that must be solved by the municipality's engineering de- partment before the plans can be pushed through. It is likely that a new bridge will be erected on Wash ington avenue to take the place of the present old structure. If this is done the new bridges location will be shifted so as to provide a strengthening out of Washington avenue at the point in question.
 One Other Land Mark Going
 Another old landmark in Water bury Is already in the process Of being demolished. It is the old homestead on the estate of the late R. K. Brown on West Main street next to the Elks' club. W. I. Simp- son, c. P. Goss. Jr., and H. W. Adams are listed in the assessors office as the owners of the property The land around the old homestead is now used as an automobile mart. Mir. simpson stated this morning that the house is being razed mere iy to provide extra room for cars. The raging work is expected to be completed in e week or ten days. This will leave the Elks' home the only old-time structure standing on West Main street between State and Meadow streets, with all other property in the area being given over to mercantile purposes.

 Police in a cruising -car saw re fiection of the flames in the sky and raced four miles to the scene. They found footprints leading to and from the clubhouse.

Tips on the Food Market
By LUCIE EBERLY.

DREPARED for heavy holiday buy
ing, we find the local markets gen.
erously stocked with all sorts Of good
things, in and "out Of season" to
feature on our weekend menus.
Vegetables are unusually plentiful
and of excellent grade. Crisp green
leafed spinach, baby kale and Winter
escarole are all par excellent. And
a large lot of young turnip greens ar
irving from Texas brings a delight

Summer squash from Florida are
pouring in by the carload. Cauliflow-
er, nice white heads, are coming in
again in better lots. Last week they
were rather yellow and far inferior
to the normal run. Much to our sur
prise, the new lot Is cheaper than
they have been at any time so far
this season, too. Both the large and
small mushrooms are plentiful again,
too, and also more reasonable.
Fresh, crisp baby red beets, young
carrots and turnips are, as usual, ar
irving in large, fine lots. Oyster
plant, parsnips and potato artichokes,
the three special root vegetables (that
we don't enjoy half as much as we

AT THE seafood dealers We find

shipments. Spanish mackerel, too,
from Boston is coming in steadily.
Large blueflsh and speckled trout from
North Carolina are being received
daily. Fresh crabmeat, according to
merchants, comes in fresh dialy, too,
as does lobster meat from Florida and
Maine.
COLD weather continuing, we find
~ fresh killed turkey and rabbit
still heading the list at the poultry
stalls. The fancy rabbits sell for as
low as 35 and 40 cents apiece, while
young turkey is priced the same as it
was around Thanksgiving tt m e.

for roasting and fine stewing hens for

A S SOON as the school doors are
" closed for the holidays, the fun
| ~ begins for the youngsters. In
N fact, the fun has already start
ed, and they are Matching up all sorts
of schemes for little parties and good
times through their days of freedom
from studies. They will be needing
party dresses and are often as hard
to please in this direction as their
elders, but from the array Of pic
turesque and charming frocks we
have found in local shops there should
be no difficulty in pleasing all con-
cerned.
Taffeta seems to be the favored
fabric of which these party frocks
are made, and the colors are lovely
aqua blue, deeper blue, light pink,
dusty pink and old rose, yellow and a
peacock shade Of blush green, with
some white, although the youngest set
seems to prefer plenty OF color to
white. Most Of the dresses are long,
and even the little girls of 7 look
very charming and quaint in these
long -skirted frocks.
We saw some adorable dresses
made entirely of lace mounted on net
that were very dainty and sweet, but
the sales person in charge Of this de-
partment told us that even these chill
dren prefer 'sophistication to sweet
ness and would rather have some
thing else!

Help Child
To Budget
His Salary
Working Boy Should
Contribute Toward
Own Upkeep.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

WHAT is to be done with young
man, 1e years Of age, who
earns SIS q week, spends every cent
Of 1t outside the house and then de-
mands money to buy necessary clothes,
medicine and the like?"
Don't grant the demands. Give him
an itemized bill for his keep. show
him how much he costs. Then try
to show him how to budget his money
so as to take some of the care of him
self off the family. 1t will be hard to
do, because the time for such instruc-
ton and experiences has long passed
Money, its earning and spending, is
q phase of child's education that
Is too often overlooked The children
are given money to get what they
want as they need it. No account Is
kept Of it. They have no idea of how
much money there is to be spent,
where it comes from, where it goes
and their relationship to the whole
scheme. They get into the habit Of
spending. Beyond that they know
nothing. They are not to blame, then,
for the mistakes they make. When a
child grows to adolescence he should
be almost entirely self-controlled.
II we want children to understand
about money we must teach them. just
as We do with every other idea we
want them to hold. The day they
begin asking for money to spend
they should get an allowance. At first
they are to spend this as they like
1t is very little They are to learn
that the allowance comes regularly, at
a fixed time, and after it Is spent
there is no more until next pay day.
That idea is the first one set Make
certain about it before taking the next
one.
Increase the allowance to cover some
personal necessity Let the child buy
such school material as he must have.
Teach him to save for things he knows
he must have by and by. The span of
saving must be short, from week to
week, then month to month. This is
to give him the notion of looking
toward the future and providing for it.
As soon as the child passes the penny
for-candy stage he should begin to
keep accounts. A simple system that
shows money received and the date;
money spent, for what, and the date.
BY and by he gets an account book.
Keeping accounts is an essential part
of money education. The child must
know where his money comes from
and when, and for what it goes. and
when. He learns great deal out of
this experience.
Gradually the allowance is increased,
the number and variety of necessities
he buys increase. his accounts are
more carefully kept. His responsible
ties grow and develop with his expert
ences. BY the time he Is ready for
college or a job he knows something
Of the meaning and use Of money.
When the child shows himself In
telligent about his getting and spend
ing he is admitted to the family
council. He begins to learn how much
money there is in the household
budget. and for what it is spent, and
his relationship to the getting and
spending He becomes a partner in
the family concern. He assumes his
share of the burden Of family finance.
The young person who earns money
and says it is none Of the familys |
business how he spends it is impossible.
He will have to train himself by sad
and bitter experience.

From this ancient ceremony of
bringing in the boars head springs our
liking for eating sucking pig at our
Christmas dinner. In England the pig
shares honors with roast goose for
favor: here it has to share honors with
the turkey as well. Personally, I like
to stick to turkey for Thanksgiving
pig for Christmas and goose for New
Year-just to keep everything fair and

his or her individual preference in the
