Outside the window, Dicks hands itched to choke her. This coarse, loud-mouthed burlesque queen could dare to call Joyce fiashy!
 T still say" the blue -ruffled one put in hastily, T still say we can't be sure she did it. So many people were running about the ship '" In her subtle fashion, she baited Mrs. O'Hara to tell them something more definite. And with the stewards in and out of your room all the time. You really can't prove anything!"
 At last Mrs. O'Hara jumped to the challenge.
 "oh, can't I? Well, don't be too surew
 Quickly they pressed her for details. You mean somebody actually saw her do it?"
 Reluctantly, at length, Mrs, O'Hara explained. She leaned for ward confidetnially, and lowered her voice to hoarse whisper, so low that Dick had to press close to tn window in order not to miss one word of what she was saying.
 The captain asked me not to , say anything about it yet, not un- til everything has been located. But one of clips was found = her closet!" IC wasp" Her listeners gasped in quick amazement, entranced by the delicious thrill of it.
 Yes. It was caught in one of her dresses. She must have dropped it, in her hurry to dis pose of the case"
 For one staggering moment Dick stood there, every vestige of color drawn from his face. Then, | without further hesitation, he turned about and hastened to the captains quarters. Gro Be COntinued)

NO man III Amerlca was so ln-
 timately connected with the colonial postoffice as was Benja- min Franklin. In 1737 he became postmaster of Philadelphia. In l753 he received a royal commis- sion as deputy postmaster-general for the colonies.
 In l774, however, Franklin came into disfavor with the British government and he was dismissed. The colonies then devised their own postal plans and July 26, 1775, Franklin was appointed postmaster-general with authority to establish line of posts from Maine to Georgia.
 Not until 1847, however, were official U. s. adhesive postage stamps adopted. Until then post masters marked letters "paid" or due" by pen and ink, or used hand stamps of various kinds, called "provisionals." The first of ficial U. S. stamp, showing Ben jamin Franklin, is reproduced be- low, one and one-half times &C., tual size.

the room. The cabin was empty. There was no sign that she had been down here. Where else had she gone?
 Back to the upper deck he went; twice he walked around it, looking through the windows to see if she might have joined some group within the lounge or the salon. But he looked in vain.
 Then, just as he was about to make another trip down to her cabin, to wait for her this time, until she did return, he stopped abruptly. Through the open win dow the sound of Mrs. O'Hara's strident voice came to his ears. He turned and retraced his steps, as casually as he could, and looked into the lounge She was sitting on a settee, light coat thrown over her fowery finery, her hair tied up in a more repossessing arrangement, and she was discuss ing the robbery dramatically with a group of Wide-eyed women sit ting in a close circle about her.
 T just saw her coming down from the captains quarters" she was saying with snug satisfac- tion. And if ever I saw guilty expression, it was on that girls face.'
 An eager young woman, her eyes frightened by this thrill of scandal in their midst, edged her chair closer. DO you really be- lieve she did it?" she asked breathlessly.
 I'm positive" Mrs. O'Hara de- clared, with an emphatic nod.
 "Oh, I don't know" mousy little woman in a blue-ruffled Goldilocks dress spoke up. Shes nice sort of girl. The first day out, my husband said to me, Now take that Miss Milner; she's what I call a well-bred young woman ," She looked up artfully Her words were just fuel to Mrs. OHara's fire. and she knew it.
 "Yes," agreed the eager young woman. "All the men like her"
 Mrs. O'Hara fiared. She's the kind that does attract men. Flashy and brazen!"

SOCIAL SECURITY

In an effort to insure seasonal
or part-time workers against the
loss of any benefits which might
accrue to their credit, Charles e.

town office of the Social Security
Board, has issued the following
suggestions for the guidance of
employees:
|. Keep the name and address
Of each employer for whom you
work, as well as the record Of
your own wage earnings, in every
job you hold.
2. Make your account number
known to every employer for
whom you have worked since the
last day of December 1886. What
every wages or salary you may
earn in any job, covered by the
Act. after the last day Of 1885
and before you reach the age Of
65 Cor die) should be credited to
your Social Security Account. The
law requires each employer to re-
port your wages so that you may
get the full amount Of benefits due
you. II your employer does not
know your number he cannot
make a report that will assure a
correct record of your wages.
3. You should have only one So
cial Security Account Number. If

you lose your account card, ask
your Social Security Board field
office for duplicate. Do not get
a new number If you have more
than one number, keep the first
one issued you, but send the other
cards to the Manager of your So
ciaI Security Board field office to
be cancelled. Tell him you are
returning the extra numbers
which were issued to you by mis-
take. Also tell him the number
which was first issued to you.
4. Write down your Social Sc
curity Account Number in the
family Bible or write it on slip
Of paper and file it away with
other valuable papers. The So
cial Security Act offers you old
age protection. Hold on to your
account card.

FRANCE ACCEPTS
 ITALY'S CONQUEST
Strained Relations End as Emmanuel Is Hailed Em-
 perOr of Ethiopia

Rome, Nov. 19 = CUP) = France formally recognized Italy's conquest of Ethiopia today when AmabaSSa- dor Andre Francois-Ponet presented credentials addressing Victor Eman- uel as King of Italy and Emperor of Ethiopia.
 The formalities at the Kings Quirinal Palace at 10 a. m. ended two years of strained diplomatic re- lations.
 During that period, France was not represented by an ambassador to Rome and Italy had no ambassa- dor in Paris.
 Frances refused to recognize the king as an emperor also, and by her belated recognition today, she fol- lowed Great Britain's lead and re- moved herself from the fast dwindl- ing list of nations who still refuse to recognize the Ethiopian conquest.
 The two most important of these are the United States and Soviet Russia.
 Great Britain preceded France by three days in extending recognition of the empire. Lord Perth, British ambassador, presented his revised credentials Wednesday.
 The new French ambassador, former envoy to Berlin, rode to the Quirinal in a gilded state coach drawn by four handsome steers.
 Although the presentation of cre- dentials formally paved the way for resumption of friendship conversa- tions started last spring, it ap- peared that Italo-French relations would continue frigid.
 Informed sources said Premier Benito Mussolini was not eager to start the talks to solve Italo-French differences, until the French liqui- date Spanish commitments and loosen their ties with Soviet Russia.
 The French on the other hand are said to be awaiting the outcome of Prime Minister Neville Chamber lain's visit to Paris when the ques- ton of colonies and Franco-Italian problems will be discussed.

Woods of the Travellers scored for the invad- CTS. A few minutes late A. Campoli scored for the home team. evening the score. w. A. Hough Ln number l for the visitors next found him. self in rather a dangerous position and was forced to resort to a per- petual check, registering draw, to keep himself from being checkmated by K. Keillor, still leaving the score tie. We'll after midnight, Leon Sundel scored for Waterbury, put ting the local team n the lead, but the position of board number was such that H. Taylor of the Trav- elers had no trouble by that time in forcing the resignation of his op- ponent few minutes later leaving the match tied 21s to 214.

MINE
 OWNER IS WELL

Rochester, Minn., Nov. 19 = GU. P) = Manuel Mujica Carassa, 54, wealthy Peruvian mine owner, who underwent a gall bladder operation at Mayo Clinic yesterday, was re- ported to be resting comfortably to- day.
 He entered the clinic Monday after he, his family and his private physician had flown 4,765 miles from Lima in 52 hours, at cost of ap- proximately $7,000 for transporta- tion alone. He had been advised a few days previously that an opera tion was imperative if he was to live.
 Dr. Waltham Walters, Mayo Clinic staff surgeon. who performed the operation said Mujica's condition was good considering "the serious ness of and findings of the opera tion."
 "He had very badly damaged liver with a jaundiced condition" he said. "The pancreas and gall blad- der were also severely infected"

FRIENDS TO FETE
 'JIMMY' GLADNEY
HiIIies, Community Club, Democrat Staff Give Tes-
 timoniaI Dinner Tonight
Woshinston Hill

More than 100 will honor Jamea J. Red" Gladney at a bachelor diil- ner tonight in Harmon's Grill, Bald- win street. Gladney will be mar ried Thanksgiving morning at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, to Miss Carolyn Pomponio. Ambrose Scully is chairman of the arrangements committee. Most numerous among those attending will be members of the Washington Park Community Club, the Wash ington Park basketball circuit, and fellow employees of the Waterbury Democrat.
 Speakers will include Adolph Rey- mond, William T. Harrington, city editor of The Democrat; Attorney Vincent A. Scully, John Cluney and William Kelly. Several acts of sur- prise entertainment are being plan- ned.
 New Club
 Concern over the presumed in- roads of the Republicans into the sancrosanct Democrat precincts of Washington Hill is going to be bas- is for formation of a new Demo- cratic political club in that area.
 At least, John T. Shea, former president of the Tax and Rentpay- CTS league of Washington Hill, sees the need so strongly that he is outlining plans for a far-flung Democratic organization. Under what name the club will go, or what its bylaws may be, re- main of the future. But MT. Shea promises to have definite program within the next few weeks.
 And his prediction is that Wash ington Hill, always a Democratic stronghold, no more will see Re- publican rallies, nor yet hybrids rampant, just Democrats at it's ral- lies.
