 Around this house are gathered some of the most precious mem ories of the old veterans life. The house Is located out on Chestnut Hill road about 2h miles from Waterbury Green, on an eminence overlooking present Lakewood Park, and commanding the finest view of Waterbury's longest and highest hill-"Long Hill" (eleva- ton 860 feet.

IRISH TICKETS
 ARE CONFISCATED

Philadelphia, August 5. - (UP)- Nearly $2,000, ,000 worth of Irish Hos pital Sweepstakes tickets apparently intended for sale in the United States were in the hands of GUS toms agents today
 Agents acting on tip from cus- toms officials in Boston and Balti- more, where the government-owned freighter Capulin touched before docking here yesterday, searched the ship for narcotics and found 600,0 ,000 tickets half-hidden in the hold.
 The Capulin, leased by the gov- ernmenr to the American Hampton Roads Lines, was in command of Captain E. w. Hickey, Norfolk, Va. who told port officials here he did not know how the 10 bales of tickets came to be aboard his ship. The crew also denied knowledge of their source.
 The ship, enroute to New York from Belfast, Ireland, stopped al Boston and Baltimore where cus- toms inspectors searched the vessel but failed to find norcotics or sweeps tickets. Collector of the Port A. Raymond Raff was advised by Baltimore customs authorities to watch" the Capulin.

 Down in the thickly populated workers quarters l found still an- other type of refuge. It was tunnel blasted straight into the side of a rocky hill. There are wooden benches along the sides and little pilot lights in the ceiling, operated by current from batteries.

 Many of the new refugees can- not be seen from the street as they are directly under buildings. found one beneath the basement of a government building. It is of rein- forced concrete and designed to withstand the collapse of the build- ing above it. The refuge has 8 telephone switchboard, a lavoratory and lighting system.
 It was in she; -o::.o such as these that women and children of. Bar celona took refuge in the spectacu- lar raid Wednesday night. Others watched calmly from the street.
 I was strolling under the palm trees along the boulevards when the sirens shrilled and the lights went out. Only the moonlight and the milky way overhead illumined Bar celona. In the dim light men and womer. were calmly taking their children into refuges.
 Others like myself waited outside to see the raid. Soon a search light began to reach into the sky. Then five, six, 10, 12 followed. Sud- denly the crowds in the dark fnur- mured: They've got him."
 Lights Comb Skies
 More than 30 powerful lights were Five big planes shining in the lights flew magestically overhead. They were in perfect Echelon forma- ton. The one on the right slipped away from the searchlight beams.
 Anti aircraft shells began spit ting at them. But the four planes went straight on heading for the moon and toward the south until the searchlights lost them. They disappeared toward the sea.
 We waited IS minutes. The raid CTS were back. They, were again heading toward the moon when the searchlights picked them out. There were only three this time but they were dropping bombs.
 We heard the explosions in the northern part of the city. Then. ripping sound and the crash of heavy bombs not far away told us that the city was being hit.
 Once more the raiders disap- peared into the moons sheen. We waited in the darkness. Then we learned that only two persons had been killed. The new refuges proved their >sorth.

 So his father let out the farm work to others on shares, and was away all day himself. For this reason the family had only break fast and evening dinner all to- gether except on Sunday-which was a red-letter day.
 How did you address your par ents," I asked.
 Always father and mother" he replied.
 MT. Porter speaks with great re- spect of his Father" and with deep tenderness of his Mother, who died when he was 16, the year before her son responded to Abraham Lincoln's call for volun- teers to put down rebellion" and save the "UNION". She must have been a very capable and en- ergetic woman, as she was most devoted wife and mother
 She and her rst-born, "Wales", were evidently very companion able. He told me what a wonder full "cook" she was, and a ver- itable wizard with needle, thread and shears. She not only made her son, Wales, clothes out If his fathers, but she made his fathers britches in the beglnn'ng Also she made the rag-carpets for all the house.
 I asked MT. Porter If he wiped dishes" for his mother. He replied with chuckle, "Yes, and wash ed 'em too.' To the question, Did your mother rock you to sleep when you were a little boy?" he answered, with a beautiful smile of recollection, % yes, I got sleepy in mothers lap"
 Wales Porter's First Day in SchOo
 When asked him to tell about his first day in school, he ex- plained that as he lived in the Bucks Hill district he was as- signed to the public school out or North Main street beyond what is now "Pearsallville" The exact To- cation of the one-room school house was on land included in present. Liebricht estate, then owned by a MT. Clark.
 Beginning when he was T years old Wales Porter was a regular as- tendant there for years, till his father sold the farm and moved the family down to the neighbor- hood were MT. Porter now resides. The boy, then 13, transferred to 8 down. town school.
 Describing his first day in school, MT. Porter began, T can remember it all just as plain as though 1t happened yesterday. Mother went with me. We came out of the house through that door," he said, pointing at the front door as it shows in the pie ture, T was bare-footed but wore a nice suit of clothes and carried a well-filled luncheon-pail.

NOOpyTlBHt Aooo Uy OhAtcu HACsoJ
 Barcelona, Aug. 5-The return of moonlight nights-and air raids found this war time capital of Re- publican Spain ready for the raiders. ? discovered upon my arrival here thnt a veritable underground city has been built to shelter the civil population from attack from the air.
 Fifteen hundred air raid refuges have been constructed and 800 more arb underway. Some 5000 workmen burroW through the earth night and day under almost every city block.
 Modern Catacombs
 When their work is completed, these modern cataccmbs, together with the subway, will provide shell ter for 100000 persons. This kind of progress on the home front, togeth- CT with reports of the victorious of- fensive on the Ebro has raised the morale of Republican Spain to a pitch which all informants agree is the best since the war began.
 Come with me on tour of the catacombs which other Europena cities may soon be copying. Here in the center of residential block a staircase leads abruptly downward. We walk down 38 steps, then an- other flight of IS steps to landing where a dim blue light marks a sharp turn to the left. Twenty more steps and we are in seemingly endless tunnel.
 Built Like Star
 The refuge is built like star. The main tunnel runs 200 yards through hard red clay. Five other tunnels radiate in different directions and the tips of these radiating tunnels are connected by other tunnels.
 In one of these galleries sturdy Catalan workmen are chiseling through. Others are reinforcing the walls with bricks and strengthening the ceiling arch with red tile and cement.
 In one tunnel you will find sani- tary and first aid stations. The whole refuge is designed to shelter 1000 persons. It has five exits. Every refuge in the city has at least two exits so that people can escape II a bomb hits one exit.
 Down in the business district I found newer kind of refuge. It is called covered trench" because it follows the plans of trench construc- ton. It has brown brick walls and a red tile ceiling in the form of a Roman arch to give 1t strength.
 Many Turns In Tunnel
 You walk towards the first gallery and then turn to the left sharply for another 20 yards. Here is turn to the right and after a further stretch of 20 yards you turn to the right. From there onward the refuge becomes a series of 20 yard seg- ments-one to the right and

Here we met some other children going to school and Mother told me to go the rest of the way with them, and to be a good boy and when school was out in the af- ternoon to come back to that place and she would be there to meet me. She kissed me good bye and started back home and I went on with the other children"

vantages ir the proposed change,
both from the standpoint of the
Government workers and Wash
ington business men,"
L. A. Carruthers, president OF
the Fedora ton of Citizens ASso

Too Weary From
Work To PLAY

Thisgentle biIe.prOducermighthe help
Some people are always worn out.
Their work is a strain. They seem
always too tired to play.
They miss much happiness. And
often needlessly. For frequently it is
constipation that is sapping away
strength. Early fatigue, mental dull
ness, sleeplessness, can all be the re-
suits of constipation.
So keep regular. And to assist Ma
iure, use DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets!
For, in addition TO definite, gentle re-
ief, they give mild stimulation to the
flow of bile from the liver without the
discomfort Of drastic, irritating drugs.
That's why millions use this laxative
every year. Get Olive Tablets at your
druggist. Only 15e, 30t and 60e.
sYour liver secretes from 20 to 80 ounces Of
bile every day to aid in the digestion of fats and
stimulate muscular action of the intestinal
system. DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, besides
helping keep you regular, contain an ingre-
dent which definitely assists in the secretion
Of bile. That is one Of the reasons why Olive
Tablets have unsurpassed effectiveness.
