$50 Car Owners in State Return Registration
 Plates

About $50 car owners have turned their registration plates back to the state department of motor vehicles according to statement made to- dry by Commissioner Michael A.. Connor.
 Commissioner Connor said, "prac- tically all of these motorists have turned the plates back to us for the purpose of avoiding the require ments of the semi-annual inspec- ton law" The first period this year closes Saturday, July l6. at 3 o'clock. But" he continued, i've will treat them as out of state cars when they apply for the return Of their plates"
 All used cars which have not previously been registered in Con- necticut must pass inspection be- fore they will be registered perma- nently. A fee of $l Is charged for such inspections.
 Consequently, motorists who think they are evading car inspection by returning their plates will be disap- pointed.
 When they apply for the return of their registration after July IS, they will be required to deposit with the department an inspection fee of $1 and will be issued temporary certificate good to ten days. Then, the car must be inspected with the ten day period or, the registration will be void. When inspection is made, a fee Of $l will be charged at the inspection station and when the permanent certificate is issued the dollar which had been placed on deposit with the department will be refunded. In the event an- other car is registered, inspection will not be required.
 Inspection stations will be open each day the remainder of the week. weather permitting, 8 a. m. to 5 p, m. including Saturday.

Peace

(From the Commonwean
Think not I am come to send peace
on the earth; came not to send peace
but sword'--Matthew. <, II.
Not even in the breast
Because Of Him comes peace
on dove-like wing:
Rather a strife that knows no
rest,
A sword unsated in its raven
ing.
The trump that into sleep
Crashes; the fire that startles
drowsy night:
The deep that calls the hungry
deep
To ashen wilderness and naked
height.
Joy, eagle winged, not peace
Fierce ardor on the storm,
against the sun.
But think not tug and stretch
will cease:
There is no peace until the
war be won.
Only this much-enough:
To glimpse far off with vision
ary eyes
In battle on the Fashioned bluff
The peace that burns in gran.
deur on the skies.

majesty Elizabeth Of Great
Britain arrived in Pacs on the
long-awaited official visit. .
Though she had left London in

semble of white-uot only cor

most becoming color. The en-
semble. Of white crepe, had
touches of black in the form Of
Silver Fox cuffs on the loose
three-quarter coat and in the
glossy black of a sweeping para
disc spray rising from her Off

hat.

them when each one is labelled

And then there are those ST..
100000 worth of jewels, with
two stalwart Scotland Yard men
to do all the worrying about
their safety. No tickets, not
even any passport. That's
traveling!...

Queens wardrobe will bring
about any revolution in fashion,

used. Kegs, their origin easily
recognizable, have been painted
pale green to match floor, flower
boxes and other furnishings.
These kegs are used as seats or
as smoking stands.
The old bricks of chimneys
and walls in surrounding resi-

atmosphere. The lights of the
city spread out in a pattern for
miles around, the great dome
of the sky is overhead, and cool
breezes watt through at times

across the street from me. I've
always been interested in him,
and presumably he's been ln-
terested in me, but I didn't go
about getting acquainted in the
right way. Instead of welcom-
ing him, I snubbed him and
was distant. Now I see my mis-
take. He is very aloof, and only
says hello" when he sees me.
If he didn't live just across the
street, I'd feel easier about do
ing something.
I'd like to know him better

I returned to my own mother,
after five years, to live with her.
Soon after I left something hap.
pened beyond my knowledge
and my dad and his second wife
obtained a divorce. After an.
other year I went back with my
dad, and am now living with
him.
Although my father and his
second wife have not seen each
other since-three years-he
says he has no hard feelings,
and I think a good deal of her,
as we are still friends.
Now I am to be married and
would like her to be present, but
as I'm living in my dads house
and he's giving me a wedding I
am perpleXed. I wonder if It'd
be appropriate for me to send
her an invitation.

AS you say your father has
no hard feelings toward his Sec

her a personal note, inviting her
to your wedding. 1t may be the

Dear Donna Grace:

Dear Donna Grace:
Is it true that anyone with
falling sickness all their lives,
attacks occurring about once a
month and lasting a few min
utes each time, cannot safely
have a permanent wave and that
the ailment affects the brain and
therefore stops the hair from
taking the wave? MISS H.
Dear Miss H.:
We see no reason why your
hair should not take a good
permanent. Go to a good shop,
preferably in the morning when
the operator can give you his
undivided time, and be sure it is
not at the time when you might
feel nervous. The permanent
will give you pleasure and COM

Cherries

Let the cherries be picked
with the stems. Take quart glass
jars and put in a layer of cher.
rieS and a layer Of granulated
sugar, then another layer Of
cherries and another of sugar,
and so on until the jar is full.
Pour in white preserving brandy
until the jars are very full. Put
on the tops carefully and set
away in a dark place for several
months. Strawberries, raSp-
berries, or blackberries may be
prepared in the same way.
Brandy
Apricots
Take firm, nice Apricots, but
not over-ripe. To each pound
of fruit allow a pound of loaf
sugar. Take sufficient water
to covel the fruit, boil the water
ard sugar until you have a nice
syrup, put the apricots in the
syrup and boil five or six min
utes; then lay the fruit on a
dish to cool. Boil the syrup a
little more, and if not rich and
thick, add more sugar. When
the apricots are cool, put them
in glass jars and cover them
with one cup of syrup and two
CUPS of brandy.

they are in that world.
The boss may be a great
kidder or a sour puss. The head
bookkeeper may be the clown
OF the organization. The secre-
tary's boss may be an aspirin

wear a new dress practically
every day and keep the gang

Anyone who works in an of.
flee knows what I mean when I
say they live in a little world Of
their own that excludes everyone
else. Vaguely the bunch may be
interested in the boss wife or
the secretary's boy friend. But
these are nebulous characters
and don't count. The private
lives Of the office gang as a
rule are on the outside.
The funny thing about it is
that the office feels uneasy
when those private lives intrude
on the office life. A visit from
the boss wife makes things seem
unnatural. When the book.
keepers youngsters pay a visit
everyone tries to be extra nice
but-well they just don't fit.
They are just like company at

wrong and maybe caught in the
act, but because the wife has no
right to intrude on a mans buSi-

I haven't doubt that the
complaint Of a woman who
writes to me is justified. I mean
she is right when she says her
husband acts in a peculiar man

She says that her husband
suddenly becomes very busy
