HARTFORD GIRLS
 CONDITION WORSE

Hartford, Conn.,, April 28-(UP)- Five-year-old Nancy Goodwin, fair haired and blue-eyed, lay near death in Hartford hospital today.
 Nancy was picking wild flowers in 8 woods near her home an evening 10 days ago with her sister Barbara, 9, when suddenly a shot rang out. She fell to the ground, screaming and clutching her head. A bullet penetrated her scalp. but, it was be- lieved at first, her thick hat saved her life.
 Two boys-one of them with a rifle-ran to where Nancy lay. Frightened, they turned and fled. Later, one of them-the boy with the gun-was identified as Arthur ONeill, 16. West Hartford.
 He claimed the bullet richochetted from a rock.
 Day after day, Nancy,s condition grew worse. Three blood transfus- ions were given with little success, meningitis set in. West Hartford po- licemen responded to a hurry call for blood. but none as yet have been accepted.
 An x-ray revealed the child,s skull was fractured, although at first 1t was believed she only was bruised. Infection began before the real ua. ture of the injury was known.
 Her condition Is grave" said an attendant.

Smith Poorly Aduised!
State Democratic Chairman's Attack on Supreme Court Plan Fails to Click "Out East"-Politics Give-and- Take Game Old Timer Writes in Re-
 viewing Democratic History.
police captain, Thomas Dodds for

police captain, Thomas Dodds for prisoner wanted here, openly refused to recognize it on the grounds that Bulkeley was not the governor of Connecticut.
 "Go back to your state," said Gov. Hill to DoddS, land get the right name for the requisition, if you want this man."
 The prisoner was eventually re- leased, and escaped arraignment.
 So you see politics is apt to figure in almost and transaction.
 As we see it, Connecticut demo- crats should not buck" the demo- cratic national administration. Atty.- Gen. Homer Cummings comes from our state. He went hungry" for years along with many other leading democrats of Connecticut. But he was game, like the rest of them, and every : four years would bob up and "hol- Ter" his head off in Waterbury and elsewhere for the people to elect the democratic ticket. We liked Cummings; he spoke here upon numerous occasionss; remember the night he dabated with Sana- tor Mclean at the old auditorium on the issues of the day?
 Some democrats of the state do not seem to like him. But we think much of him; we liked the way in which he aligned himself with the Roosevelt forces against the Smith clan. Cummingns' judg- ment in the end, proved the better.
 MT. Cummings, like the presi- ! dent, has seen fit to criticise the suprme court. The legislation passed, was adopted in the inter- ests of the people. And then the supreme, court came along and knocked it out on a constitutional question.
 In further support of the presi- dents claim comes the decision of the supreme court Monday in the criminal case of Angelo Hern- don, young negro communist. A Georgia court found him guilty of violating the Georgia law of the reconstruction era, forbidding advocacy of forceful resistance to the states authority, and he was sentenced for IS to 25 years.
 The United States supreme court by a 5-to-4 vote upset the Geor- gia decision. The liberals were the same as before, Chief Justice Hughes, Justices Brandeis, Cardo- 20, Roberts and Stone. The same old four voted to uphold the con-f viction, Van Devanter, McRey- holds, Sutherland and Butler. The decision by majority is chased as victory for the right of as- sembly, and free speech.
 In line with the claim of many, the viewpoint of the dissenters. not only in the Georgia case, but in questions affecting federal leg islation, as expressed, again proves the worth of the presidents claim for new and young blood in the high court.

PILL SLAVE FREED
 FROM CONSTIPATION

A convincing tribute is paid to Kellogg's ALL-BRAN in this letter from Mr. F. c. Aminsen of Seattle.
 q suffered with constipation for many years and was compelled to use pills every night. Since l got your ALL-BRAN, it works fine. l was so deathly sick of taking pills. Now it is so different. Kellogg's ALL-BRAN works so naturally, and is pleasant to eat"
 Inside the body, ALL-BRAN ab- sorbs twice it's weight in water, forming a soft mass that gently sponges out the intestines. It also supplies vitamin B to help tone the intestines, and iron for the blood.
 You'll enjoy eating Kellogg's ALL-BRAN. As a cereal with milk or fruits, or in appetizing recipes. Two tablespoonfuls every day are usually enough = three times daily if needed. Sold by all grocers. Made and guaranteed by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
