DEMURRER FOR
 TRIAL SOUGHT
Permission to File One for Dennis Mccarthy Asked
 By L. L. Lewis

States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis will ask Judge Edwin c. Dick enson at the short calendar session of superior court Friday for permis- sion to file a demurrer to the appeal of Dennis J. Mccarthy of this city, now a prisoner at Wethersfield, for a new trial, MT. Lewis bases his de- murrer on the claim that the statu- tory limit of three years had expired before Mccarthy applied for a new trial.
 Mccarthy is now serving a term of from 20 to 30 years at the states prison as a third offender. He was sentenced in 1882, after 8 trial be- fore Judge Newell Jennings and a jury in superior court here.
 After being convicted, Mccarthy was sentenced by Judge Jennings to a 15-30 year term. Why don't you make 1t SOP" Mccarthy burst out at the judge, and the sentence was then made 20 to 30 years.
 Mccarthy calimed in his applica- ton, filed here several months ago, that in giving him the extra term, the judge was in effect sentencing him for contempt of court, without a trial.
 He also charged that States At-

PET DOG LOST BUT '
 WOMAN IS SAVED

Los Angeles, Dec. 1.-(UP)-A woman who flung herself into 8 deep asphalt pit in an attempt to rescue her pet dog, was confined in Georgia receiving hospital today sut- fering from shock and hysteria.
 She had sunk to her armpits and her head had dropped forward into the sticky, black mass by the time three park workers formed a human chain to seize her wrists and haul her out.
 She was identified as Mrs. Alice Harris. At the hospital she screamed "my baby, my baby" and attendants learned that she was calling for her cocker spaniel which evidently fell into the pit and perished. La Brea pits have been traps for animals since prehistoric ages. Bones of saber-tooth tigers, giant elephants ancient bears and other beasts have been recovered from them, perfectly preserved.
 The pits are surrounded by three foot falls. Their grip and suction on an object is more treacherous than quicksand or peat bog.

Naugatuck, Dec. 1.--Much inter- est in the December meeting of the board of education, to be held to- morrow afternoon at 5 o'clock in the high school, is being reported, One of the two main issues, which the board may have to face, is the ques- tion of whether or not Pond Hill school will be closed and pupils transferred to Central avenue, ol whether 1t will be allowed to remain open indefinitely.
 The other question concerns whether or not the board will place most or all of its insurance in mutual insurance companies, and if so whether 1t will be given to com panies having local representatives or whether 1t will go to firms which have no local agents.
 It will be interesting to see what stand the board will take about the Pond Hill school. Last month g number of residents of that section spoke at the school board meeting and opposed the transfer. At the October session, the board had voted for the transfer but set no time fol 1t to be made.
 After the Pond Hill residents had expressed their views at the Novem' beS meeting, a short discussion ot tho matter by the board followed and from the remarks made in this discussion, 1t seemed that a major ity of those board members express ing themselves on the matter were still in favor of the transfer, de- spite the fact the Pond Hill delega. ton represented, most of the school children at Pond Hill school.
 Whether or not the situation has been changed by the passage of time will probably be shown tomor- row. The transfer to Central ave- nue and the closing down of Pond Hill were suggested because of the small attendance in some lower grades and also at Pond HI. Under the proposed transfer, Miss Lillian DGegan, who teaches all five grades at Pond Hill now, would be trans ferred to teach one class in Hor Brook school, and Miss Sally Boards Icy who now does part-time art in- struction and who also has @ class in Hop Brook school, would be Jeff free to do full-tirne art teaching.
 Pond Hill residents said transpor- tation in winter would be danger. oulS, children having to spend the noon hour at Central avenue schoo might get into an accident, ant pointed out the Pond Hill school has been recently improved. Some board members felt the pupils if trans

DANGEROUS DELAY

Don't put of until tomorrow what should be done today-especially if it's a matter of fixing weak brakes. It's so easy to promise yourself that you will have those brakes repaired tomorrow--or next week-and then to forget all about the promise. Pro- crastination is the thief of time and also the indirect cause of many of our highway deaths and injuries. You are flirting with tragedy every minute at the wheel when you drive with defective brakes. Test them frequently; repair them promptly.

Larger Number Expected

Present indications point to a larger number being required to pay old age assistance taxes in the bor- ough this year, than in previous years, James Brennan, assistant tax collector, said today.
 He said final reports on the census of those required to pay will be made soon. A thorough canvass of those between the ages of 2l and 60 and including persons 2l and 60 years old has been made. It seems as If the number will be higher than last year.
 After a check on the reports of the caivassers, tax bills will be sent out and payment is to be made in February. Each person must pay $3 on this tax.
 About $ls,000 of the money is sent to the state and much of 1t Is re- turned here in the form of old age assistance to local residents.

your walnut shell when they
handed out the wife from whom
you have now been divorced. It's
not to be wondered at that you
should have all these fears and
inhibitions about making a second
choice.
But don't think there are many
women who "only want to be
happy" at the expense of a good
partner, and have no sense Of re-
sponsibility over the havoc their
vagrant impulses create.
I don't want to be unflattering
about this first choice Of yours,
but it seems to me as if you picked
a moron. Probably she was very
pretty. She lacked the intelligence
to understand what her adven.
lures cost a good man. And when
women are like that, they're not
all there.
Don't let yourelf be hypnotized
by this first tragic failure. The
world is full Of splendid women
who would make just the wife you
are seeking. Look for one who Is

That extra coat for summer
is very apt to be of bengaline,
especially if there is much com.
muting to town. A nice model
is in navy, the back using the
umbrella gore detail. In front.
the coat is straight and has soft
lapelS which fold back. A gar.
denia and a white crepe scarf.
or a pink one, make a nice color
contrast.
Great lengths of chiffon and
ribbon Streamers mark many OF
the new hats. We like especially
a kettle-edge sailor of burnt
straw. Long streamerS Of navy
chiffon cover the crown and come
out from under the brim to float
almost to the kneeline.
Country club dances are just
