RENT SHORTAGE
 DIVIDES FAMILY
Thirteen Living in Five ROOms-Father Looks
 for Place to Sleep

A new and pathetic case, one which is definitely the result of the lack-of-rent. situation in Waterbury, was brought to light at the depart ment of welfare today by Mrs. Mar garet Verdon.
 The latest case has several shock ing details, the most important of which is the fact that because this particular family in reduced cir- cumstances could not get an ade- quate rent a family of thirteen per- sons is now living in five rooms.
 The welfare department head ex- plained today that after this family had been unable to procure a rent they approached a case worker, who was in turn unable to get one. As a result these eight children were sent to the home of the grand mother, making thirteen persons for five rooms. The mother has gone to live with an aunt and the fur niture is being stored at the expense of the city.
 Any Place!
 To complete the disintegration of the family, the father, after all this had taken place, ironically told the welfare department staff worker that he'd "just hang around the neigh borhood and try to find some place to sleep every night"
 Mrs. Verdon would disclose no names of persons or streets in con- nection with the case today.
 She did say, however, that there

D. A. V. TO HONOR PAST COMMANDERS
Annual Observance of Ar- gOnne Day Also Planned
 for September 25

The annual past commanders and Argonne banquet of the Water bury Chapter, Disabled American Veterans and Auxiliary, will take place on September 25 at Moyni- hans restaurant at Hitchcock Lake, 1t was announced last evening at meeting of both groups held in Pythian hall.
 Three hundred persons are ex- pected and among the invited guests are Mayor Frank Hayes. Cong. J. Joseph Smith, Major Thomas Bannigan; Dr. Thomas Ma her, State Comdr. Adolph Schultze. of Berlin, and Peter Nugent, of West Haven, national executive committeeman. Three hundred per- sons are expected.
 The recent changes in orphans and widow pensions were explained at the session also last evening. Un- der the new regulations the widow of a veteran who is 20 per cent disabled is eligible for the pension. This does away with the 30 per cent requirements of the past. Changes have also been made in the marriage limitation bill. which used to provide that only widows of veterans who were married be- fore 1881 could draw pensions. Now if a child,s father is a veteran, no matter what year the marriage took place, she is eligible.
 It was announced at the huxil- iary meeting that the Waterbury auxiliary had led the state in mem- bership since It's inception and is still leading, Two Gold Star Moth. CTS. Mrs. Julia Conklin and Mrs Mary Mellon were at the meeting as well as three past auxiliary presi- dents, Mrs, Isabelle Martone. Mrs Helen Brophy and Mrs. ConkIin.
 Comdr. Walter 0yert0n presided at the chapter meeting and Mrs, Elizabeth Lerose was iD charge ot the auxiliary meeting.

Public School Figures Being CheckedToday
First Day of Term Free of Confusion; Amend
 ment Causes Gain


 Due partially to the recent one- month extension in regard to age regulations for kindergarten and first grade pupils which was passed at the board of education's recent session, a slight increase, the first n some years, was noted in the number of new lower grade pupils today at local parochial and public grammar schools. No exact figures could be procured inasmuch as to- day was the first day of school but statements from Dr. Thomas Con- don, superintendent of schools, and from various priests in charge of 2arochial schools, were to the effect hat there had been an increase.
 Preparing Figures
 pr. Condon said this morning that the new regulation, which al- lows children who will be five and Bix years of age before February 1, 1887, dnstead of January 1, the for mer rule) to be eligible for entrance as kidergarten and first grade pu- pills. has brought about an upsWing In lower grade registration. He fur- ther stated today that some tempor- ary figures on the first registrations for public schools in the city would probably be ready for publication later this week.
 A survey of parochial grammar schools in the city revealed the fact that there has been an increase in first grade registrations for the new year. As has been stated before, Wa terbury Catholic High School also noted decided increase in registra- tion, this having come about as the result of large graduating classes Tn the grammar schools last June and a tendency of these graduates from pafochial grammar schools to continue their education in a sim liar institution.
 Comparative Figures
 The results of the survey con- ducted today showed that St. Mar garet's school, according to the Rev. Peter Daly, principal, had an in- crease in its first grade. St. Mar garet's, in addition to all the pa- rochial schools contacted with the SEeNSPsASAA VI AOSs MuAy ., Llto IIO hlkls dergarten. Rev. Francis O'Shea of ths Immaculate Conception church, who gave out a statement in re- gard to- St. Mary's, said that the registration in first grade and kin dergarten was about the same as last year with the possibility of very slight increase.
 Rev. James Wood, principal of SEs. Peter and Paul school said today that there had been de- cided increase in registration in the lower grades. Rev. David O'Keefe at St. Francis reported that regis tiAtion this year was about the same.
 Gain Anticipated
 Rev. Joseph Donnelly, principal at St. Thomas school, said this morning that first day registrations indicated that the lower grade total would be about the same. St. Ann's school will not be opened until next Monday due to the fact that re.
