He called the hounds to the end of
the fence. They cast around in short
circles, then set off eagerly on the trail.
Valerie logged miserably after them.
She saw dogs pour, in a black-and-
white splotched river, over low stone
fence. Jcb's mount followed without
break in his rhythm. Valerie kicked
Pompey's ribs and tried to make him
jump. He stopped. turned his head
and rolled an amazed eye at her.
GO on" she gasped.
Pompey backed dozen strides
and looked again to see if she meant it.
There was quite nice open gate two
hundred yards away. They always
went through gates. Her heels thumped
his ribs. Pompey shook his head
obviously and numbered at the wall.
He jumped like box car going over

She was far behind Jeb. the whipper-

an advantage. George had wandered
in an cratic course, and she could cut
corners to save ground. Pompey was
getting in the spirit of the chase and
even seemed to be going out Of his way
to jump fences.
Once, by a shrewd cutoff, Valerie
was right on the heels of the hounds as
they thundered across yard where
George had been playing with laundry
hung out to dry. Farther on they
came to a chained terrier who seemed
incoherent with rage. George had been
teasing him. They passed under a tree
that held black tomcat with ragged
ears. He had lost the neighborhood
championship to George a quarter
hour earlier.
Finally the hounds swirled to halt
at the base of another tree. Valerie

ICITY BUDGETS l FARLEY THEME
Finance Board to Discuss Departmental Measures
 Tonight

Budgets of some of the city's larg- est departments, the street, possi- ply the fire, school and police de- partments, will be under considera- ton tonight at 7:30 when the board of finance holds its meeting.
 While recommendation of Grif- fenhagen & Associates have been adopted by the street department, resulting in dropping from the pay roll of about dozen employees, the reports of the audit firm on the other large departments, school, police and fire, have been subject of general controversy.
 Sentiment has spread through the city adverse to cutting of the teach ing personnel. The fire department cut in personnel and closing of three firehouses, which the fire board is expected to reject at a meeting to- night, provides further controversial material for study by the finance board and, on Dec. 5, the aldermen.
 Question of what increase there may be in the tax rate for next year devolve upon economies ef- fected in the budget as well as nec- essity for raising revenue to pay $953, ,000 in maturing bonds during 1889. The cash deficit is estimated at $213, ,000 but is not considerable item in the devising of the budget.

SETTLEMENT MADE ]
 IN $5,OOO ACTION

Settlement has been made in the $5,O00 common pleas court action of Mrs. Sarah Doyle against Salva-l tore Boiano, which was partially heard by jury and Judge Miles F. McNiff last week.
 The trial was to have continued this week. The woman claimed she was injured by a car in parking station on Spring street, maintained by the defendant. She claimed that a car operated by an employe of the defendant struck her as she waited for her car.

of 9 o'clock, as 8 means of cooperat- ing with the common pleas officials.
 Chief Justice William M. Maltbie today assigned Judge McEvoy to preside at regular superior court sessions here after Christmas. Jan- uary 6 is the regular date for open ing of court after the Christmas holiday.
 Judge McEvoy is presiding today at the opening of the trial of G. LeRoy Kemp, who is charged with embezzlement as result of the Mer- ritt Parkway grand jury investiga- tion. The trial is expected to require at least a months time.
 Chief Justice Maltbie also assign ed short calendar sessions for Wa terbury December 12 and 19, but no- thing definite was stated with re- gard to what judge would preside. Both sessions are assigned for Mon- days, a further indication that the conspiracy trial will only be in ses- sion four days week, and not in- clude Monday. The short calendar sessions will be held in the superior court room.
 Logical Place
 The Chief Justice yesterday told The Democrat that city court would be 8 logical place to hold sessions of common pleas or superior court while the conspiracy trial was on.
 Lawyers have expressed concern that the lack of facilities at the courthouse would make it impossi- ble for regular superior court trials to be conducted while the conspir- acy case was on.
 Judge Finn said today that he wanted to cooperate and that the lawyers and public have a right to have their cases tried speedily.
 It is believed that when Judge McEvoy prepares to hear superior court matters after Christmas he will be given the use of the common pleas court chambers, which are located on the first floor of the county building. The other two floors will be taken up by the conspiracy trial.

He said the gov. ernment's information included the names of the transport ships ano the ports of debarkation.
 Scores of planes and artillery hundreds of aviators, thousands ot rifles, tons of war material and more troops were given Franco by Germany and Italy simultaneously with the withdrawal of 10000 wounded and worn out" the officer said.

to the Nazi youth groups. Drills and camps have been instituted. Perhaps Cardinal Innitzer of Austria was not so wrong as the world believed in hoping for a great German non-Nazi state"
 Speaking of Hitler's persecution of the Jews, Father Bonn con- tinued:
 Personally, I think it is vile, It is a terrible object lesson showing that once you have aroused a combination of fear and hatred of a group it is almost inn possible to stop.
 Through a misguided sense of nationalism Hitler has taught in blood the necessity of purity in race and the supremacy of one race.
 T repudiate the idea and am ashamed of the fact that such blood flows in my veins, if it means a separation from the com mon race of mankind.
 Christ had a common love for all, regardless of race. His friends were only only fishermen, but sin ners, publicans, wealthy, poor-all classes of men,"

1890 to 1888, declares that it is on the way:

who want to relax after hard day. And to
the blind, the talking book will bring new eyes.
Do your ears register words faster than
your eyes? Then the talking book speeds up
your reading, too. You'll be able to read"
a novel in an evening.
The second coming sensation is micro
photography. 1t us the most important con-
tribution to research since the ince,tion of the
printing press. So says Director M. Llewellyn

Microphotography will save millions OF
feet of valuable space now occupied by vaults.
storerooms, filing cabinets. In Washington
where the problem of housing documents is
as bad as the problem of housing oftlce-hold-
ers, the Bureau of the Census is filming its
records The index of the 1900 census alone
now occupies 1000 square feet. 1t will be
compressed into so.
In our great Libraries only half the books
are taken off the shelves more than once IN
ten years. The "sleepers" can be shot on
film. The available space in our Libraries will
be doubled
Such saving of space and money is impor-
tant But it's insignificant when compared
to this: imagine all the books in the world
under a single roof! That thought doesn't
stagger most of us. But to the scholar or
scientist it is breath-taking.
The great Libraries of London and the
Vatican can be filmed. and then deposited
on the doorstep of the student in New York
or Tokyo All history's boarded learning at
his fingertips! The worlds knowledge avail
able at a moments notice.
When we multiply the thinkers opportun-
ity for research we pave the way for new
discoveries that will enrich the lives of all
of us.
Nicrophotography will some day be in
common use. Your descendants will carry an
encyclopedia in their pockets. Or take along
library of thousand volumes for a summer
vacation in trailer.
All - but wait minute. Where will they
find the time to read? The days will still be
only twenty-four hours long.
Can we be taught to read faster: Scientists
are now learning more about how we read.
They are studying eye movements. They
tackle them the way an efficiency expert in
vestigates business. They look for wasted
effort.

Our grandchildren may know how to alb
sorb the printed page two or three times as
fast as we do. That new power should make
them want to read still more. Perhaps they'll
cover five or ten times as many pages. That
is good news for the book publisher who views
microphotography with alarm.
Can we, through these new discoveries,
save civilization which seems bent on using
science 10 destroy itself? "Civilization is
race" as one writer recently put it, between
education and chaos" If we create new in
struments of knowledge faster than we build
new instruments of destruction, we shall
some day have better world to live in.
