fBY THE OUT EAsTERl

Another former resident of the East End died last week, Mrs. Sarah Dwyer of 181 Piedmont street.
 Not many of the families are living now that were out here in the days when Mrs. Dwyer lived with her mother, Mrs. Richards, in the McGrath house at the junction of East Main and Will Ham streets. In the days we speak of, Mrs. Dwyer as Miss Richards, was well known among the people out here. Her friendly nature, and pleasant ways made 6 striking impression on all, and by reason of these outstanding qualities, she made friends by the hundreds. In those days, many of our young women, were em- ployed at Scovill's, and other nearby plants. It is our impress sion, that Mrs Dwyer, like so many others of her young days, held a responsible position with this or- ganization.
 
 Annual Parade
 In latter years or after her marriage, she lived in another part of the city. But when an- nouncement of her death was made, we recalled the great old days of Out East when people knew each other, and when the gallant volunteer fire company, Brass City, No. 6, was the idol of the neighborhood and the joy of the young people. Every year during the first part of Septem- Der, tt was the custom of all of the young women to decorate the hose carriage for the annual par ade of all members of the fire department. Miss Richards, later Mrs. Dwyer, was among the num- Der. And each year during the winter, the old hose carriage was taken outside, and the annual soirs of the company held in- side.

 Portion of Compromise
 The important portions of the compromise draft, which the United Press obtained from a private source, is as follows:
 "The governments of the Ameri- can States declare:
 "1. That they reaff1rm their con- tinental solidarity and their pur- pose of collaborating for the uni- versal establishment of the prin- ciples upon which the condition of solidarity is based.
 g. That they will amplify the process of consultations provided for

young women invited. Mrs. Dwyer often recalled these times to her other girl friends of that day, now grown tc womanhood.
 Sometimes, death reviveS old time happenings, and it is so in the case of Mrs. Dwyer. From her early residence here, naturally, she knew much about the old east end and its people. She recalled of- ten the pastorate of the late Rev. Hugh Treanor of the church off the Sacred Heart, and the won- derful hold Father Treanor had on every family within the parish confines. One of the big features of the church years ago was the annual fair held in either the old city hall or the state armory on Phoenix avenue. With her girl friends, Miss Richards was among those who never missed their part in the success of the affair.
 Couldn't Forget
 Mrs. Dwyer was recognized by all as a person possessed of dis position that brought her numer- ous acquaintances. The friends she made in a day of long ago were still her friends at the end. She never forgot; she couldn't forget, and she wouldn't forget. Everything pertaining to Water bury and the good of the people interested her. She loved to read of the accomplishments of sons and daughters of parents she knew. before they were married.
 Old Out East therefore joins in its sympathy expressed to the re- maining members of the Dwyer family. We claim the right so to do because as we have already said, Mrs. Dwyer lived among us, knew us, as we knew her, and never once ever forgot us during these many years.
 Out here, we have just reason to mourn the passing of such a good soul as Mrs. Dwyer.

COURT REHEARS
TALKING PICTURE.
MONOPOLY CASE.
Use of Vacuum Tube
AmpIifier Is Issue
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

Q.N.SO The issue OF patent
monopoly involving potentially
hundreds Of millions Of dollars
was raised in the Supreme Court
today in rehearing of the General
Talking Pictures case.
The case involved the right OF
companies in the radio patent
pool" to limit the use Of a small
but vitally important vacuum tube
amplifier in the manufacture OF
talking motion picture equipment.
BLACK DISSENTED
Widespread attention was
centered on the case, both in the
United States and abroad, when
the court granted a rehearing
after it found the General Talking
Pictures Company Of New York
guilty Of patent infringement.
Only Justice Hugo Black disSented
on the original five to one decision.
Three justices did not participate
in the decision.
The issue was whether the
owner of a patent can limit the
use a third party makes OF a
patent.
DEFENSE CONTENTION
The vacuum tube amplifier was
manufactured by the American
Transfer Company, under license
from the Western Electric Com
pany, Electrical Research Prod
ucts Company, and the American
Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany. The license limited manu-
1acture and sale to use for radio
reception.
Assailing the original decision
Of the court, written by Justice
Butler, as opening the way for a
vast extension Of patent monop-
olies, counsel for the General
Talking Pictures said that under
tie ruling, fountain pens could be
restricted to signing letters and
automobiles to transporting adults.

Grouse Bird of Importance to Scots,
According to an Authority in London

How in the course Of century
and a half the grouse has become
bird of national Importance in
Britain, is related by Henry Doug
las Home in the Field of London:
"It is fine morning in August,
1773. Boswell turns to Johnson,
whose eyes are still weak from the
firewater, drunk by barbarians be-
yond the Solway: DO you suppose
these hills will become valuable on
account of these excellent moor
fowl?' please don't be stupid at
this early hour. These barren noun
tains will never produce anything
Of value to a civilized people. No
one can stomach their melancholy
emptiness
1.-THE disgruntled doctor would
have been astonished to learn that
the moor-fowl would prove more
valuable to the Scots than the host
Of quails which saved the Israel
ties from an awkward predicament.
Perhaps in some far distant sphere
Boswell turns to johnson each
twelfth Of August: I told you so.'
(The doctors reply would be banned
in the Field.)

SYNOPSIS
G Virginia stivers Bartlett

In Spanish-governed California of 1888
a cofiict between Church and State is
represented by two friendly enemies,
frail old Fray Junipero Sierra, Francis
can missionary, and Don Pedro FACES,
civil governor. After telling Sierra he is
sending to Mexico for his wife and son,
whom he has not seen for eight years, he
refuses his aid toward founding the San.
ia Barbara Mission. In Mexico City,
Dona Eulalia, accompanied by her du'
emma. Angustias, arrives at the embassy
IN response to letter from her husband,
Don Pedro. She agrees to go to Califor.
mia. Don Pedro sends for Sierra, telling
him that two priests are on their way
from Mexico with Eulalia and young Pc
dro and that he is leaving to meet them.
FACES engages a young Indian girl, Indi'
Zuela, as maid for Eulalia. Eulalia sails
from San Bias. 1t is deso1ate trip.
From the port of Loreto, large caval.
cade loaded with Eulalia's party starts
out for the long overland trip. Eulalia.
accustomed to luxury and comfort. bit
terly regrets having been persuaded to
come. The two priests, Fray Mariana
and Fray Bartolomeo, call on her and
arouse her suspicious as to their genu.
ineness. AS the cavalcade stops at vari-
GUS missions, Eulalia hears rumors of
the approach of her husband. While
Don Pedro plans a great fiesta to wei.

her mind the relations Of her hus-
band with these people that he gov

this backslapping and joking. Att
er all he was the Governor, the
Kings own representative in this
province and should demand and re-
ceive more dignified attention.
For moment she looked around
her. The adobe stockade was lined
with huts that followed the contours
of the hills. Living quarters, store

Lieutenant Jose de Zuniga, in
charge of the presidio, issued orders
right and left. There must be royal
entertainment prepared, and at
once! A dispatch must be sent to
good Padre Lasuen at the mission
to come and celebrate a thanksgiv-
ing for the distinguished travellers;
he must bring his Indian musicians.
There would be music, dancing;
food must be prepared-a bull
slaughtered. The arms and equip
ment Of the little garrison must be
in perfect order. Guns must be
made ready for salutes.
The women listened to the Com
mander's orders, nodded among
themselves and went to work. The
Indian servants stared in stupid Won

and cleaning, such an aroma of food

Indians Suspicious of Books.

Many Indians were suspicious of
white men reading. And white men.
knowing this, were careful to put
aside their few books when Indians
were near, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. Books were somewhat Of 8
mystery to most Indians, but they
believed these things inspired the
white men to lay claim to Indian
territory. So If number of Indians
reported within a short period OF
time that they had caught the set
tiers looking into books, they feared
more of their territory was at stake.
Sometimes the redskins would work
themselves into an uprising.
