woman, Mrs. Hahn. Two reasons
will probably be given. First: She
will be the first woman in this state
to pay the extreme penalty for
crime Second: They mistakenly
think it is breaking the sixth COM
mandment, "Thou shalt not KILL"
which, of course, fOrbids wanton
killing or murder, which is a most
atrocious crime. We maintain that
in the execution of criminals, man
is Gods representative in the ex-
ecution of justice. (See Gen. 9-6).
The Nervousness of Mrs. Hahn's
crime Of numbering old men by poi
son route, to get hold of their mon
ey, calls for speedy justice, regard

SMITH DISCUSSES
 CRISIS OF WORLD
Women's Club Guest Says Electricity Development
 One of Best in Years

Important changes made in the social structure in the past two generations must be recognized if there is to be any cure for present unrest, declared George H. Smith, lecturer, writer and economist, in an address yesterday afternoon at the Waterbury Women's Club.
 Discussing the subject, "The World Crisis in Thought and Econ omy," MT. Smith pointed to the development of electricity and the internal combustion engine as two of the greatest developments in recent years. Improved machines he said, enable one man to do now what scores of hundreds were re- quired to do in production a com paratively short time ago.
 In little more than 100 years, MT. Smith stated, the center of popu- lation has shifted from the farm to the city. Tn 1920, he said, farms held 85 per cent of the population. Now, he said, only q per cent of the population lives on farms.
