To Prevent That Pain In The Neck
On the glass rooted trains that
run in Germany between Munich
and Berchtesgaden, the seats have
head rests which prevent that pain
in the neck which might come from
viewing nearby mountain scenery
through the roof.

"Who are your most intelligent lis.

Birdseed Pillows
Visitors to Portugal report that
the pillows at the inns where they
slept are rather hard. They are
stuffed with birdseed, this being
considered the best pillow for a hot
night in summer.
Where Sound Sleep Is SOundless
Winter visitors to Bordighera, on
the Italian Riviera, say that it has
the most restful nights, since it is
against the law to toot an auto horn,
turn on the radio, play a musical
instrument, sing, or dance, during
the hours of darkness.
Paid For With Prayers
Swiss dairy farmers annually give
to thousands of. poor peasants as
much cheese and butter as they can
carry home after the grazing sea-
son on the mountains, and ask in
return only prayer for the cattle
and the pasture.
Don't Talk About 1t
Now that $50 of the worlds tel.

world traveller that every telephone
booth should have the famous

Good cooks come from the south

supposition at that time was that
this fort was near where the Olive
Green creek empties it's tawny wa
ters into the blue Muskingum, and
we are now convinced that we were
right, except in the name. There
has been some controversy in ref
erence to the location of this fort.
Since the story of Silverheels was
written, we have made three trips
to that locality and have gathered
substantial evidence that the killing
of Abel Sherman was linked up with
fort, but it was not Fort Frye.
"Where was Fort Frye? and where
was Abel Sherman shot?', These
were two outstanding questions that
came up in articles by Chas. Van
Fossen of Stockport, and Walter
Sylvus of Dallas, Texas. In Mr.. Van
Fossen's article on Pioneer Hts
tory" he said, in substance, ut
matters little to us today, where this
old fort stood, ETC. We do not
agree with him in that assumption.

Detroit, Aug. 30-(UP)-Homer Martin, president of the United strong support from the rank and Automobile Workers Union. claimed file today in his dispute with John L. Lewis, head of the c. I. O., over the busting of four JAW interna- sorting with communists. Fortified tional officers on charges of con- by encouraging telegrams from union locals, Martin announced that his relations with Lewis had been thoroughly strained" and that the JAW treasury still "haS on hand" It's July payment to the c. I. O.. made up of the flve-cent month- ly per capita tax that the c. I. O. assesses m m bers of affiliated unions. Asked directly whether the money would be paid to the c. l. O., Martin replied: We have 1t on hand. A tri-state council meeting at Milwaukee yesterday, at which 46,000 JAW members from Minne- sota, Wisconsin and northern Illi- nois were represented, recommended that the union cease paying the tax.
 The dispute centered about Lewis suggestion that the JAW reinstate the four busted international off, cers. defer trial of the communicate charges against them to the next union convention, and meanwhile isibmit all It's controversies to the c.

Tuition For Rural
 Students Increased
Three New Teachers Added to Grade Waiting List;
 Frances Collins Submits Resignation

Residents of neighboring towns at- tending Waterbury schools during the coming semesters will be taxed tuition fees on slightly higher plane than those in operation last year. The board of education at its first meeting since the summer re- cess yesterday approved measure requiring payment of $108.15 by elementary school students and $l51.01 by high school students.
 Supt. of Schools Thomas J. Con- don stated that during last year the tuition fee for elementary schools was $102.37 while the high school fee was $144.5O. He explained that the fee each year is computed on the per capita cost of the previous year. The increase this year is undoubtedly the result of restoration of salary cuts to the school staffs, he explained.
 On recommendation of the com mittee on teachers, the board &C., cepted the resignation of Miss Fran ces Collins, a teacher of the fourth grade in Driggs school Miss Collins was married during the summer. No successor was appointed.
 Three new teachers were added to the grade waiting list. Two, Mar garet Cleary and Frances Mazulaitis, are graduates of New Britain college while the other Jeannette Barn. hardt, is a graduate of Danbury All

Lewis for interfering and hinted that the U. A. w. might consider withdrawing fro mthe c. I. O. alto gether. The North Tarrytown, N. Y., local wired Martin: You have cleaned house; keep 1t clean. :. We cannot accept compromise of Lewis. Withdraw from the c. I. o. If necessary. Keep up the fight" The local recently busted. on charges of communism, officers sympathetic to the busted interna- tional officials.
 Martin said that Lewis compro- mise was no great innovation. We could have gotten that in the be- ginning. We were given that offer by the expelled officers themselves before their trials tbefore the in- ternational executive committed started. That's all they wanted"
 He estimated that 80 per cent of the rank and file shared his atti- tude toward Lewis and the expelled officers--Vice Presidents Ed Hall, Wyndham Mortimer and Richard Frankensteen. and Secrctary-Treas- urer George Adde's.
 Gunnar Mickelsen, Wisconsin state director of the 0. I. O., de- nounced the tri-state meeting at Milwaukee as the action of a minor ity." He said that instead of rep resSnting 5l locals. as they clsymed, the delegates were mostly from building trades, tanneries. tavern keepers and other unions that do not belong to the U. A. w.

 Everybody's Happy
 Everybody in Harlem is happy over the new numbers situation. For one thing, small banker can make himself some real dough. He no longer has to pay off a mob of gangsters to let him alone.
 For another thing, "sweethearts" or "pets" such as 101, 123, 789, all the hundreds, all the numbers end- ing in 10 and 25, are now coming out and Harlem always bets heavy on them When Schultz was in com mand these never turned up because the big combination had in their pay a gentleman named Abba Dab ba"-he is now dead--Who showed them how to ike the numbers at the race tracks so that heavily play ed favorites didn't turn up. Now the sucker gets a slightly better break.
 The numbers picture has Its dark side, however Nowadays when a writer is arrested, his bank doesn t bother to get him out The bank can't afford to pay for protection on the old scale and it doesn't have the power the Schultz mob had. So the writer takes the rap. That's bad but what can he do? Harlem shrugs it's shoulders.
 Bets and More Bets
 There's q saying up in Harlem that people play numbers all day and all night. Over on Fifth Ave- nue, between l17th and 18th streets, one can see proof of this. Having placed wager on the daily three digit number, the more ardent then gather on that block in the late afternoon and bet on each number as it comes out Writers take their money on the spot and pay off on the spot, unless the player wants to par lay his winnings.
 Up in hard-hit Harlem, policy is more than a gambling game Sure" one Negro told us, pol icy is to us what the stock mar ket Is to the white man."
