someone 60 look for her."
She retraoed her steps, opened the

~ ONE people have delusion about

~ profession, particularly the sue
cessful ones. They think that these
famous personages lead wholly glam-
orous lives, with never a touch of the
universal humanness that makes the
"Colonels lady and Judy O'Grady
sisters under the skin" Unacquainted
with kitchen stoves and pans, they
feed presumably on an exclusive diet
of amorosia.
Nothing. of course, could be farther

years, l have gathered a fat index of
inexpensive and delicious dishes that
the great like to eat - and often to
cook.
Such a person is Genevieve Tobin,
we'll known to both stage and movie
fans. Genevieve, who was born in
New York, took cooking lessons in
the Manhattan public school which
she attended. THE first thing ever
learned to make was stuffed baked
tomatoes" she says. She was taught
to use bread stufing; but there are
interesting variations, like minced
ham with tiny mixture of chives
Or use corn, combining it with a
little cheese. And grated cheese, Incl

Cenevieve's bread stuffing.

~ ONE fifty years ago or 80, an old
- lady lived on tract of forest
~ land amid whose very ancient
trees wolves and bears we're still to be
found. One day her gardener caught
wounded bear, which the old lady
consented to take into her house and
heal of its wounds. Under the old
lady's kind treatment. the bear be-
came 80 tame that she would follow
closely at ones heels, just like dog,
and sleep peacefully on the sitting
room rug.
One day. when the old lady was
walking along forest path leading to
one of the lower farms, she noticed
that Macha, the friendly bear, was
following on behind.
''No, Macha." she said to the bear,
you are not going to the farm. Go
right back home"
But Macha, bent on following, re-
fused to 60 home. So the old lady was
obliged to coax her back and to lock
her up safely in the sitting room.
Back in the forest, hearing once
again a muff1ed tread in the pine
needles. the old lady turned around
and saw Macha numbering on behind
once more The great beast soon
caught up with her and stopped only
when she was within arms reach.
''Oh, Macha," cried the old lady,
Il told you not to follow me- You
must have jumped out the window.

"She was an old-fashioned mother
who believed that her daughters
should know how to cook.
Il also think that food is important
and l like people to eat everything
when plan dinner. For that reason
it is necessary to think carefully. If
there are both men and women in the
party, I suppose chicken, roasted or
fried, is the safest choice. But if l can
concentrate on pleasing the gentle
men, I'd give them curried chicken -
only. the cook must be a proficient
curry maker. Neither would ! have a
moments hesitation in planning roast
beef or steak for men,"
With beef, Genevieve suggests the

South Advised to Dust Ab- sentee Ownership to

Columbia, s. C., June 1. UP) Works Progress Administrator Harry l.. Hopkins advised the South today that 1t must do away with ab- sentee ownership and subscribe to the theory of wage-hour legislation if it is to achieve it's ''rightful place. in the national economy.
 In a speech prepared for delivery before the graduating class of the University of South Carolina, Hop kins deplored the tremendous waste in the credit system which drains so large a portion of the South's income into the reservoirs of financial centers."
 The speech was read by a member of the university faculty in Hop- kins' absence He is recuperating from a streptococcus infection at a Glen Cove, N. Y, hospital.
 Asserting that in 1929. the aver age New Yorker had an income of more than $l 5000 year compared to $265 for South Carolinians, Hop kins said

First shots in the 1888 political campaign have been fired simul- taneously by Raymond E. Baldwin, candidate for Governor on the Re- publican ticket; Senator J. Kenneth Bradley, candidate for place on the republican state central com mittee, post now held by Albert E. Lavery of Bridgeport: and Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., republican national committeeman. All three have al- ready gone on record to demand a Purge" of the Republican party.
 Criticized
 It Is very, very doubtful that the Purge" will ever occur. John A. Buckley of Union, Charles William son of Darien and Clarence c. Will lard have been severely criticized by the Bridgeport Waterbury grand juries. Williamson has been arrested on a bench warrant asked for by the Waterbury grand jury. However, it has been learned by this writer that both Buckley and Williamson will soon resign from the republican state central committee.
 Bradley, presently looking for the place now occupied by Layery on the state central committee, is also aspiring for a place on the Repub- lican state ticket. In his speech made few days ago Bradley men, toned the Waterbury grand jury and claimed the expose of the financial affairs of the city of Waterbury was due to the Republi- can organization.
 What Bradley apparently is un- aware of is that in the Brass City at the present time there is ter- rife battle being waged over the leadership held by Chairman J. Warren UpSon. Bradley also appar- ently is unaware of the position of Sherwood Rowland, city controller. A bitter feud exists between Row. land and Upson and other leaders of the Republican party because of the manner in which Rowland made appointments to his staff in the controllers office. It will be recalled that promises galore were made by Rowland, Upson and others if and when the coalition ticket was suc- cessful. Those promises have not been kept. Thus 1t is that Rowland is not looked on too kindly by lead

Drum Corps will be made tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in the Washington Park Community House. The pres entation is for the benefit of the midget league.
 An all-star cast, which made g huge hit in the first presentation, will again be seen. A large number of tickets have been sold, thus as- suring capacity attendance.
 In addition to the play, the Irish American steppers will appear as a special attraction. Their following is large in this district, as they have appeared at the Community house on numerous previous occasions.

 Progress of the construction gang working on the Baldwin street pay ing project is very pleasing. It is expected that if the present sched- ule is maintained the job will be completed within 60 days.

$4O,OOO DAMAGES
 ASKED IN ACTION
Three Defendants Named By Local Plaintiff In.
 iured in Auto Accident

Damages of $4000O are sought in a superior court action filed today by Joseph Blanchette against Frank Korn of Waterbury, and John and Caesar Manthey of Cheshire, as result of an accident on the Meri- den road, November 28, 1887, at 9:45 a. m.
 The plaintiff claims he was seri- ously and permanently injured in the accident which involved cars operated by Korn mad Odilin Lin- teau. One person, Mrs. Bertha Lin- teau was fatally injured in the crash.
 It is alleged in the complaint that the accident was due to the negli- gence of the defendants. The plain- tiff states that he spent almost a month in the hospital following the crash and that he has been unable to resume his trade as casters help CT.
 Damages of $l5,000 are sought in an action by Arthur w. Thompson against the City of Waterbury. The plaintiff alleges he was injured in a fall on a defective sidewalk at the corner of Ray and Aurora streets, April 16, 1888.
 Jeremiah Sullivan of Woodbury brought an action against Helen Shelton, seeking judgment of title to four parcels of land in Wood- bury. Sullivan states that he en- tered into an agreement with the defendant for transfer of the land, but he has been unable to find the defendant to complete the contract.

The suits were those of Elizabeth Fusco, for $l5,- 900 and Rose Foley for $2,500. Both were injured in an automo- bile accident on the Wolcott road, Bristol, June 22, 1887.

CTS of the Independent Democrat Republican forces.
 Who's to Blame?
 Bradley said, "As result of this (the calling of the Waterbury Grand Jury) who should assume the re- sponsibility, the Republicans who did the job or the Democrats whose lieutenant governor is apparently tied up and most deeply involved, or the appointees of a democratic governor"
 It may be recalled that Bradley, during the 1895 session of the Con- necticut General Assembly, served as chairman on the all important judiciary committee. It may also be recalled that great deal of pres sure was brought to bear on the governor to reappoint John A. Mac- donald as highway commissioner. It was made plain to him that If he did not reappoint Macdonald, the Governors legislative program would be defeated by the Republi- can controlled lower house. The Re- publicans combined in 1885 with the three socialist senators from Bridge port to control the senate.
 In 1897 the Republicans again de- manded that the Governor reappoint Macdonald. A bitter fight ensued

June, month of marriages, fol- lowed May, the month of filing in- tentions of marriage today, and members of the staff at the office of Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin paused for a recess after rushing business through the past several weeks.
 Although there have been ques- tions raised by economists some times by parents whether two can live as cheaply as one," this phase of the practical in it's rela- tionship to romance and the start of summer the envisioning of brides, blushing and beautiful in their wedding gowns, has failed to become a factor.
