BY GEORGE ANTHE1L

BY GEORGE ANIdGAL
A T some time or other
IA in every woman's life
comes the overwhelming
urge to pursue the higher
things in life. And, like
other contagious diseases,
this cultural bug is no re-
specter of age, occupation or
social position.
He cares nothing for the mis-
cry he stirs up for the patients
girl friends, relatives, beaux or
husband. For, it seems, that a
woman on the trail of culture
is never content to follow that
trail alone. She simply has to
uplift everybody she knows to
her own desired level. And, in
the case of a poor innocent boy
friend, brother or husband. the
poor fellow is in for a miser-
able time.
Proves Excellent
For Everyone
Fortunately, however, the
disease is seldom chronic, ana
the patients friends eventually
secure some relief. But, in those
cases where a girl gets a last
ing affliction, it's time for her
as well as all her friends to
beware. A certain amount OF cul-
ture won't hurt anybody, but
when said girl starts to ram it
down her friends threats, es-
pecially the masculine Ones
she's headed for an all-time low
in dates and often for a dried
old maidhood.
Just take a look at what one
young fellow is up against:
Dear George: Maybe you
can help me. / thought knew
q lot about women, having
grown up in a family Of girls.
But the girl I'm engaged to has
simply got me stumped. All OF
a sudden, she changed from the
understanding good pal type to
a most particular woman. She
seems to have culture on the
brain. If I say, He DON'T I
amt or It's me- she has a
cat fit.
1--WE used to have a lot Of
fun going to the movies, but
now she wants to sit at home
and read aloud out Of books
that she says will elevate my
mind. She says my voice is too
loud; I slouch in my chair; I
don't talk about anything but
the people 7 know, the factory
where I work, and the news on
the sporting page.
"She picks out the programs
we listen to on the radio and
gets nothing but concerts, SYM
phonies and lectures, but never
any comedy stuff"
breads
UDIift PROGRAM
"She says it won't take long
for me to begin to appreciate
what she's doing, and then I'll
be awfully glad, but in the mean
time, it's getting so that I hate
to go near her for fear of some
thing new she's cooked up to
uplift me.-Dsgustipated Mike"
There's no doubt about it,
Mike, your girls got a back at
tack of culture urge. 1t won't
hurt you a bit, however, to get
ride of your "ain'ts," "he don'ts"
and other grammatical lazyiSmS.
And if your manners are crude,
why not adopt better set?
Perhaps if you meet the little
lady half way, she'll lose her cul-
ture bug and you'll get some
peace. On the other hand, you
might 60 her one better and get
more cultural minded than she
is. This last is desperate rem
edy, however, and should not be
tried except as last resort.

But you haven't eaten," protested
Blacky.

Are you in the habit Of killing
when you are not hungry? Not even

that. I believe you are no better

ITALIAN PEOPLE
 ARE VERY ANGRY
Continued from Page D
Statement of Committee

The committees statement to the public today in full reads as fol- lows:
 John DePastino, president of the local Italian American societies and clubs, announced today that acting upon the insistence of several prom inent leaders among local societies and clubs, action will be taken in the form of protest or boycott of the two papers, whose editorials have become so pronounced against Italy that something must be done to show William Pape, that Ameri- can citizens of Italian extraction can defend the land of their brith or extraction as efficiently as Pape and his staff can defend theirs.
 Many have arrived at the conclu- sion that Pape'S newspapers are not serving the cause of 100% Americanism but building sentiment in favor of the land of Pape's birth, from whence great number of the staff of the Waterbury Re- publican-American have immi- grated.
 Hold Pape to Account
 MT. Pape will be held strictly to account for any hard feelings that may develop locally from resulting reaction to the prejudiced and par tial attitude of his papers in inter- national comments, which in some quarters are interpreted as being malicious.
 More than one-fourth of the local population is of Italian extraction and most of them refuse to take into account Pape's theories, which are founded on an international system of propaganda to involve America in foreign troubles.
 "The resulting action which may be taken by the Italian American organizations will be no surprise to William Pape who has upon several occasions been politely requested to desist from his anti-Italian atti- tude."

SECOND WEEK OF
 MERRITT TRIAL
Many Witnesses Ready to Testify = One RealtOr
 Has Hired Lawyer

Bridgeport, Conn.,, February i. - (UP) An extraordinary grand jury opened its second week of in- vestigation today into the State Highway Departments expenditure of more than $6,000, 900 for Merritt Parkway rights-of-way through Fairfield County.
 With only nine witnesses thus far heard it was anticipated the inquiry might consume six weeks or two months before each of the more than 400 separate transactions are sifted'
 Awaiting to be called today were former Republican Representative G. Leroy Kemp, Darien Realtor and Highway Department appraiser Thomas N. Cooke, Greenwich real tor; Representative Stanley P. Mead and Benjamin Mead, New Canaan, who received $100,000 for a 28.172 acres tract; John Cavanaugh, Nor walk, member of the Merritt Park way Commission, and others involved in the numerous negotiations.
 Cooke Has Counsel
 Cooke retained counsel with the reported intention of challenging the constitutionality of the powers of the grand jury. In event of his refusal to testify the jury has been instructed to report to the court for a ruling.
 Nearing completion at Hartford was a report of Internal Revenue Collector Thomas s. Smith, who, for several months has conducted an inquiry into the income tax state ments of those persons who sold land to the Highway Department.

I body contained four bullets, but none was in a fatal spot, according to MT. Lewis. He said that the skull was broken into 10 pieces, and that there were many decorations of the brain tissue.
 On the defense, Attorney Coeller informed the court that Hivon claimed many of the statements as given by the states attorney were not true.
 Tn his simple way he loved his wife," said Coeller.
 Only Struck Once
 It was claimed by Hivon that he only struck his wife once with the gun stock. If Hivon had gone out there to murder his wife he could have done it in five minutes" said the defense counsel.
 He claimed that Mrs. Hivon fired the first shots, and that she intend- ed to do him great bodily harm.
 If we had allowed this case to go to a jujry, he might have been found guilty of manslaughter", the counsel continued.
 Fell Asleep Near Crime
 Hivon fell asleep about 300 feet from the spot where his wife lay dead. He was captured the next day as he slept on the railroad tracks.
 He made no sound as he was taken from the courtroom today by Deputy Sheriff Joseph Murray. He continued his silence as he was taken to Wethersf1eld prison to start his long term. Deputy Sheriff Frank McCann transported him to prison.

Or was it that MT. Armstrong telephoned MT. Row land on the private line" to tell him that citizen is without, with requests for something definite in the form of public records?"
 That is the question which is bothering numbers of citizens who, at long last, have become aware that there is political basis to the attack program" by Controller Rowland through the Republican or ganization newspapers.
 Auditors Reports Asked
 Inasmuch as there have been yearly audits of the city's accounts, one just nearing completion, and another audit is starting, an item" of $6,0O0 of auditing at the incep- tion by the controller and his pub licity staff, sentiment in many sec- tions today was, Lets have the re- port of the auditors and settle this matter without the smear campaign which is detracting much from the city's reputation.
 City Suffers by "Smearing"
 One eminent non-partisan re- marked:
 "They may not realize it, but smearing such as is going on, af- fleets the reputation of the city in such way that even our products are less in demand. Waterbury is a fine city, good place to live. But, if politics is going to take this turn every so often, then we can expect to have reputation which is not just to our business men, even now suffering because of the reflection unfounded charges are creating"
 He continued. remarking that he had seen a dozen similar develop ments," describing them as "usuap when there is a political change in soma department of the city. The cost of the charter commission "in- vestigation" was quoted as fin ex- cess of 100000"

 British Vessel Sunk
 Barcelona, Feb. 1-(UP)-Three British subjects and Swedish of- ficer of the Spanish non-interven- ton committee perished when a submarine sank the little British Steamship Endyfnion 16 miles off the East Coast of Spain, the Loy- alist government asserted today.
 Attacked 16 miles South of Cape Tinoso, the 887 ton ship sank with in four minutes, it was asserted, and carried II of the 15 persons aboard her to death.
 Among the missing, it was said, were the steamships captain, his wife, the second engineer-all Bri- tish-and Swedish agent of the non- intervention committee which seeks to keep war munitions of participat- ing governments from Spanish Ports.
 The official version was that the submarine was a nationalist one.
 A defense ministry communique quoted the commander of the Loyal ist Naval base at Cartagena, on the East coast, as reporting that a Ma tionalist submarine attacked and torpedoed the Endymion 7:20 a. m. yesterday 16 miles South of Cape Tinoso, which is 10 miles Southwest of Cartagena.
 '"The Merchantmen was legally sailing with 1,700 tons of coal for Cartagena," said the Communique.
 The Endymion was owned by the Verano Steamship Co.,, of Gibraltar. It was built in 1909.
 Four Destroyers
 London, Feb. 1-(UP)-Four Bri- tish destroyers searched off the East coast of Spain today for sub- marine which sank the British steamship Endymion.
 The admiralty said that the de- stroyers Firedrake, Forester, Fortune and Fury reported they were patrol ing the neighborhood of the sinking, off Cartagena, for the submarine.
 It was believed here that as re- suit of the sinking, the Mediterran- can anti-piracy patrol would be frightened. In recent weeks it had been relaxed because of the absence of pirate" activities.
 It was understood that the gov- ernment had not decided regarding any protests pending receipt of full details of the torpedoing.

 MT. Purcell told The Democrat reporter that "a bundle of checks for 1885 have been found" He was asked to look through them and asked to point out which pay ments" were made to Levy" His scrutiny resulted in mo checks drawn to Levy"
 Mystery Pape Visit
 Following the report that William B. Pape and a reporter from the Republican organization newspapers had spent Sunday afternoon with MT. Purcell in the controllers office, The Democrat reporter, who had asked to see the Levy payment checks" on Saturday, learned that the Republican-Am American is at a loss to explain how certain public records" came into thcir possession, if, the informant commented, they have not been kept at certain per- sons house. It was considered strange that MT. Pape and his staff should have sought Sunday access to the office unless it was for the covering up'' of some of the pub lication of public records" they claim are missing"
 Ruling of Counsel Ignored
 By the ruling of Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor and his later interpretation" for Controller Rowland, it was publicized that "any citizen or taxpayer might look at the records in the controllers office, accompanied by either the controller or an employe of the city" " Further, that neither the controller nor the employe might comment on such records" or make any state ment" This, in accordance with the 'unanimous" vote of the board of finance, Controller Rowland not voting but protesting afterwards).
 Democrat Man Also Ignored
 Yet, the controller, when he "al- lowed" the citizen from The Demo- crat to look at the records, admon- ished MT. Purcell that the latter should not comment or offer any information, make any statement" about these public records" The reporters examination was cut short by the controller, who, obviously nervous about the matter, appeared repeatedly from the "private" office where he earlier had entertained MT. Pape and two Republican, American reporters in their "scru- tinv of the public records" The re- porter from The Democrat was al- lowed access" to the records on written and specified request up to the point where hes asked to see vouchers showing payments for laundry for the police and fire de- partments, the chyecks drawn to MT. Levy"
 Then, Controller Rowland re- marked: That's enough for today. Can't have this interfering with the affairs of the office"
