Bachelor Lawyer Fails To Qualify In Domestic Case

Attorney Hugh McGilPs bache- lorhOOd supplied the basis for 8 little mirth in Judge John F. Me- Grath's city court today, during the hearing of a domestic difficult ty.
 Attorney McGill represented the defendant in n0n-suppOrt action, and was vigorously attempting to illustrate to Judge McGrath that the petitioner should not be in need, in view of the fact that the defendant husband had given her $37 a little more than a week ago.
 Said MT. McGilI, "Your honor, I don't see why the plaintiff should be here to seek support so soon, she was given $37 and that should last at least . short time."
 "Well" said His Honor, 'it's plain to see that you are not mar ried, MT. McGill, for if you were you would realize that 1t is not snch . large sum. You bachelor attorneys should consider a little the expenses of welded life"
 The case was continued a week for further hearing.

 Audrey Ann
 Audrey Ann Hector, daughter of MT. and Mrs. William Hector of 109 High street, is just sixteen months old. But any one can see that she has some teeth look carefully at the picture - see the teeth peeking through the half-smile Audrey gave the cameraman. Will she be blonde or brunette? Perhaps it's too early to tell.
 Junior Moriarty
 William Moriarty, two years old, is the son of MT. and Mrs. William Moriarty of 2l Easton avenue. Hey, there, Junior! Your big eyes and curly hair may come from mother, but our bet is that you're chip off the old block, nevertheless. There's wee "divil" hiding behind that innocent expression, we'll war rant.
 Baby Paul Paul Bruneau, son of MT. and Mrs. Noel Bruneau of 154 Franklin street, counts six months here. Not time enough yet to tell how the hair will loook, of course, but Paul looks to be a merry midget at the mo- ment. He appears plenty interested in what's going on in the studio, too.
 Lovely Colleen
 Here's tiny colleen who'll be among the leaders in beauty con- tests in later years, if present indi- cations mean anything. She's Doris Margaret Maloney, twenty-two months old, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Charles Maloney of 37 Fuller street. Just now she's platinum blonde, if the picture can be be- lieved. Or, maybe, that's golden hair over that broad brow and those bright blue eyes. A little lady with great promise, says us.
 Typical Boy
 A typical American boy is Robert T. Crowley, two and one-half years, son of MT. and Mrs. Timothy Crow ley of 320 Walnut street. He's giving the camera what 1t takes to get a
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-07-22

good picture, too, a steady gaze and an unconcerned air.
 Seven Months
 Wayne Dan Butler, son of MT. and Mrs. Dan Butler of 34 State street, is only seven months old so he can't be blamed for appearing startled. You know what the bright lights of a picture studio are. Well, Wayne apparently didn't-couldn' tell what to expect when the cameraman waved the birdie" But very nat ural picture resulted, didn't it?
 Smile Pretty
 A demure little girl is Rochelle RoSenbaum, two and one-half years old, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Isa- dore Rosenbaum of IS Hawkins street. Smile pretty, Rochelle" said Phillip Leonardo, the picture man at Thomas Studio, and Rochelle smiled all over her face but her eyes stayed shy.
 Here's Husky
 We bet Il Duce would be pleased to have lots of rugged babies in Italy like Albert Montesi, son of MT. and Mrs. Albert Montesi of 25 Griggs street, who is eight months old. But Albert, Junior, is more likely to be 8 great football player in the U. S. A., if we're allowed to predict the nearer future for him. Boy, is he jolly and husky?
 So, there'll be more pictures to- morrow. Meanwhile, get busy and give your favorite babies your SUD- port.

Weed Sprayers
Ready for Use in
Farmers Behalf

Two weed sprayers are ready for
use in noXious weed eradication
projects and farmers wishing to
have weeds sprayed may make ap-
plication at the agricultural COM
miSSioner's office.
These sprayers have just been re-
modelled and a third has been or
dered, giving the department equip
ment to carry on the campaigns
against camelthorn. puncture vine
and white horse nettle.
The sprayers have a pressure of
400 pounds and use either applica-
tions of oil or of chemicals in Grad
ication work. Farmers wishing help
may notify B. A. Harrigan. COM
missioner, and men will be sent out
to do the work, the farmers paying
for the materials used
The ground must be dry when
the weeds are sprayed and must
be kept dry for certain length of
time in order to allow the poison
to do its work.
In use with white horse nettle,
said to be the most dangerous noX-
iouS weed infestations, complete
eradication has not bee nobtained
but infestations from 1880 per cent
have been eliminated. The office
is working on a treatment which
it is hoped will eventually solve
the nettle problem.

Title" Not Taken Seriously.

"COTTON," says Horton, realizes
that all of the great players in
recent years have been able to estab-
lish their supremacy on both sides of
the Atlantic and he is determined to
do the same. I should think it would
be most likely that Cotton would come
to America about two months before
ouor open championship, so that he
will have time to become thoroughly
accustomed to American conditions.
OF course, no one takes this world"
championship stuff seriously. The
fact that Cotton whipped Shute proved
simply that Cotton is a good golfer
and was on his stick at the time. But
Denny might whip him the next time
out. There was guy named Bobby
Jones once, girls and boys, who won
al four major championships in the
