SUPT. OF COUNTY
 HOME PUNISHED

West Haven, Conn, Aug. l3- (UP)-Convicted of having spanked a l2-year-old inmate of the New Haven County Temporary Home for Children, Superintendent Mrs. Es- ther Wolfe and Supervisor Joseph Antonucci took appeals today to common pleas court from fines of $i0 and costs each.
 Police Court Judge Claude B, Maxwell ordered them to post bonds of $l00 pending disposition of their cases in the higher court.
 Charges of cruelty to person were lodged against them after Albert Massiello ran away from the home July 28 and complained he had been spanked twice because he refused to eat a serving of bread pudding Photographs were ordered in evi- dence by Prosecutor Abraham M Silver showing discolorations on the boys body, said to have been. Q re- suit of the alleged beatings.
 Both defendants admitted the spanking but said he had been only lightly chastised.
 Judge Maxwell said Tt seems to me that there were more blows struck than have been testified to, z and added, T cannot find Mrs Wolfe guilty of criminal intent, but I do find that she and Antonucci went too far"

 London, Aug. 13-On the map of Europe the independent little Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, squeezed in between Germany on the east, France on the south and Belgium on the west, looks just about the size of one of the postage stamps 1t issues.
 But just the same, this tiny land had an election and referen- dunn which were among the most significant held in the Old World lately.
 Liberalism won. The people re- fused to throttle the small Com munist party. Nazi-ism, which from German sources tried to in fluence the poll, got a sharp re- buke.
 There was thus played on one of the smallest political stages in the world an interesting and ex- citing electoral drama.
 Most of the arable soil of Lux emburg is held by small farmers. But there is also a valuable iron ore region and, as consequence, an important mining, smelling and machine industry impor- tant, that is, to all of Europe. The farmers mainly belong to the conservative parties. The work CTS in the iron industry are main- ly Socialists.

statute was finally drafted last April. It fl rst plan dissolved the Communist party outright and forbade the activity of any groups or associations affiliated in any way with the Communist International.
 The second plank gave the gov- ernment the right to dissolve any other groups which aimed to change the constitution or shackle the free function of constitutional institutions.
 StrOng-Arm Politics
 This law was passed by the Chamber of Deputies and then by the Council of State. But the So- cialists fought it and threatened duchy-wide strike. They said the first plank outlawed the Com munists, but the second plank, probably aimed at Fascists, mere ly gave the government power to act if it chose without making 1t mandatory as in the case of the Reds. The government yielded to the demand that the law be sub- mitted to a referendum. It was beaten, 52.5 per cent voting against it and AIS for 1t.
 That was not the only defeat administered to Bech. On the Same day that the referendum was held, legislative elections were also held in the northern half of Luxemburg.
 The Socialists made the biggest gains, so that the Chamber now consists of 25 Catholics, 6 Lib- erals, IS Socialists, 3 Radicals and 3 extreme Right National Demo- crats. The coalition of Catholics and I ;rals still has majority, with 3I out of the 55 seats, but the Socialists have demanded a place in the government, as the second party of the state.
 Ruler-By Request
 And that is where Grand Duch- ess Charlotte has entered the play. She has asked Bech seri- ously to consider the Socialist claim. The Grand Duchess her. self has great respect for the ref- erendum. Her sister, Marie Ade- laide, was the hereditary ruler, but abdicated in 1919. A great outcry was raised by some who

All went well until 1884, when the iron dis trict sent a Communist deputy to the Chamber. This body promptly did what the New York State Legislature did some years ago with Socialist Representative from New York City - 1t fired him out without law, rhyme or reason.
 Ever after that occasion there has been considerable excitement in Luxemburg, the extreme Right -spurred on by the Nazis of neighboring Germany - deamnd- ing that a law be adopted making the Communist party illegal.

Who's Who in l.. I'll. S.

This week we are going to give
you the low-down on two new-com-
ers to the realms of Libby's learn
ing. The first is beauteous belle
from Virginia. She comes to us via
two months in the Malta high school
and has dropped neatly into the
commercial department taking
Shorthand and tipping III. These
are the studies with which she ex-
poets to continue after leaving high
school. At present she plans to at
tend business college in Spokane.
The other of our two new students
TO be discussed this week, comes
from the wide open spaces of the
prairies of eastern Montana-name-
ly from Belt. She also is majoring
in things commercial-Typing II,
Shorthand II, and Bookkeeping.
She intends to continue her COM
mercial work at Kinman Business
University after graduation. Though
Belt must indeed be grieving the
loss of such valuable and, consid-
ering the course she has chosen,

Student Forum
Proves Success

Tuesday afternoon the students of
the high school gathered in the high
school assembly to discuss the ques-
ton of 1888 high school annual.
The problem was discussed from all
angles and any student who had an
idea of the subject was free to
speak. After much debate, the ques-
ton was put to vote with the re-
suit that 80 of the students agreed
to buy an annual if one was put
out.
This forum was Libby His first
experiment with student govern
naent, the entire forum being in
charge OF the students. The result
was highly satisfactory and it was
decided that next week the high
school will vote for a student cabi-
net to conduct such forums on all
questions requiring the student

certainly ambitious, student, L. H
S. is glad TO welcome her within
its partols.
But this interest of ours in our
new pupils must not lead us to for
get and fail to properly honor those
studious pioneers who cleared the
virgin timber of their brains in the
first grades of the Libby schools
Therefore, our next who's who is
one who has forged her way from
the comparative obscurity of the
second grade of Libby central school
to the enviable position, now-as a
senior-of having her grades point
ed out to laggards as a star to which
they should hitch their wagons.
Apparently, Spokane is to be de-
luged with aspiring young Libby
bred secretaries next year, for this
young lady also-after two years
of shorthand and tipping and one OF
bookkeeping in Libby-intends to
enter business college in Spokane
next year.
And now-for one extra clue for
our Hawkshaws. Though all three
OF our subjects are valuable stu
dents-separately - they make a
dreadfully inconvenient and confus-
ing element when they are all in
one Glasgow see-they all have
the same name.

week were: Earl Lovick, Kenneth
