Years later, when she had found out her mistake and regretted It lightly. May expressed her feelings with a typical witticism:
 "At first here was hope; after that there was a strong chance of misery"
 Her captain husband was as reckless as she, a big spender, and May did not know how to apply brakes.
 Around World Four Times

 Divorced by Lord Francis and married to Putty" May sought peace once more in divorce, her jewels gone, her beauty fading When Putty" finally left her, Mays fortune was $2.30. In Port land, Ore, in 1910, she divorced him and married Capt. Shuts in what appeared to be the one great love match of her career. Poverty, hard manual work and illness were un- able to shake them apart.
 They lived in a cheap Boston lodging house and in 1924 there Was a shooting episode to lift May from more and more welcome obscurity
 Capt. Shuts Was found shot and wounded in their rooms. Police questioned May but Shuts insisted it was an accident which occurred while he was cleaning his gun.
 This spring Shuts was stricken with arthritis and May applied foi q WPA job. She learned then that though born in Bethlehem, Pa, she had lost her citizenship through marriage to the Briton.
 In April the aging woman was re- stored to citizenship and assigned to A WPA project in which vital statistics of the city were tranS- ferrcd from ancient lcdgcrs to card catalogues.

 For weeks now the Monocacy has been held three miles below Kiu- kiang, more than 450 miles up the twisting Yangtse, because of a Jap anese blockade maintained most rigidly in the stretch above Wuhu. The Japanese assert that the Yangtse is unsafe for navigation. They have been able themselves, however to transport troops sup plies, civilians and cargos, in war ships and commercial vessels, up the river.
 Japanese Refuse YarnelI
 Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, United States navy commander in chief in China, recently asked the Japanese formally for permission for the Monocacy to steam down river and for the gunboat Oahu, stationed here, to relieve 1t. The Japanese formally refused.
 Yarnell reported to the state de- partment and was understood to have advised that the United States break the blockade. The state department advised waiting policy because the Monocacy was not yet in urgent need or fuel or food.
 Howevcr, the Oahu left Shanghai for the upper Yangtse August 22, on it's way to Ranking, 230 miles below Kiukiang. It's men were pre- pared If ordered to continue up the Yangtse in the face of a Japanese war fleet and the Japanese air force.
 It was learned today that the Oahu had left Nanklng or was about to leave, for Wuhu, intending to wait there for the state depart ment's decision.
 Gunboat Claims Right
 The situation of the Monocacy was that at present the Japanese navy refused 1t permission either to return to Kiukiang-three miles or to go down river to Wuhu. The Japanese offered 1t fuel. The Mo- nocacy refused on the ground that an American Warship had the right to navigate the river as 1t chose. IL has sufficient fuel for one week and food for two weeks. It has 800 tons of coal at Kiukiang but the Jap ancse will not permit 1t to get this fuel.

 Everywhere, even in schools, the great good of the Catholic faith is suppressed or transformed in ac- cordance with race principles.
 Charges of morality have been raised against clerics and then long due tr.als are not held. Although opponents of the Catholic faith are not hindered by Ian expression of conviction, all Catholic books and magazines are subjected to the strictest censorship and are often forbidden and conhscated.

 All the pope's friendly words di- rected at all peoples were construed here as against the German state. The fight against faith finds express sion in other fields. For instance, the marriage laws. Even at the is- suance of testament of laws re- gently, the opportunity was used to speak of greedy, legacy-hunting priests who exploit the dying.

Tobin announced his candidacy for the nomination on Saturday and is un- derstood to have divided some SUD- port for the earlier candidacy of William "Tipper" Conley, endorsee of the Culhanc group and who has denied that he has sought to "con- trol" the delegation. Friends of Health Commissioner Edward P. Egan commented that his statement in behalf of the approved" ticket before Thursdays primary did not indicate that he will be a candidate.
 Separate Caucuses
 The 86 delegates to the four con- ventions of tonight's caucuses will meet at city hall and thereafter the separate caucuses will be held in the city court, the aldermanic chamber, and, If the sessions of the first are prolonged, the others will convene in the mayors office or probate court.
 Delegates chosen tonight will form Waterbury's part at the state con- vention at Eastern Point, Sept. 13- IA. It was considered likely today that the delegates will agree on sup port for the nominations of Gov. Wilbur L. Gross and United States Senator Augustine Lonergan but that they will be uninstructed so far as other state candidates are concerned.
 The congressional convention, at which Congressman J. Joseph Smith Is unapposed for renon1inatio, will be held Sept. IT at Torrington city hall; the shrievalty and probate convention dates have not been set, but the latter most likely will be held at Waterbury which will have 3l of the AS delegates, the other representations being two delegates each from Wolcott and Middlebury.

These Novel Christmas Decorations Are Easily Made

rubbers off the ends, fluff out the
ends of the Slippers, and you have a
pretty pompom.
To make the little wreath cut
Slippers into 1-inch pieces. String
the pieces on a 10-inch length of
wire, pushing them tightly against
each other. When the wire is filled
to within about two inches of the
end, bring it around to form circle
and fasten to the other end, leaving
the extra two inches to make loop
for hanging. Tie bow of ribbon
or cellophane to the wreath where
the two ends of the wire are fastened
together.
The pompom and wreath can be
used either as tree decorations or to
fasten to your gifts. In either case
they will sparkle merrily when sun
light hits them.
For q Christmas tree centerpiece,
you win need a box of cellophane
Slippers. Cut them into various
lengths and string them on a wire
stem beginning with the longest
ones, piercing each one through the
center. Push them down tightly
against each other. Fasten a silver
star to the top of the wire stem.
Twist the bottom into trunk and
standard and cover both with tin
foil.
Another type of tree suitable for
a place card is made by cutting IL
tree e-shaped triangles. Lay them
one on top of the other. Pierce them
with darning needle, making holes
one-half inch apart up the center.
Run q wire through the holes for
the stem. Now slash the triangle
from the outside to the center to
make the branches. Fluff out the
branches and you will have pretty
little sparkling tree.
These little cellophane novelties
will cause many admiring comments.
