 No"
 To this blinded amazement, his eyes misted with tears. Polack! Only for an instant; his unstable emotions rocked of balance, and he caught them furiously and re- stored them. T guess so,' he said. T can't help it. ma. It's hangover and I can't get rid of it."
 She must have loved you lot son."
 T think she did That's what keep remembering. If some other guy took her away from me, it'd be a different matter. Everything was all set, and not thing stand ing in the way. We were only wait ing till got the money saved for the house. Only little while-three weeks to go. It was so damned pointless, so unfairl"
 She said quietly, "1t was the will of God some way, son!'
 Yeah? heard that before too. don't think so much of 1t. God had no hand in that business .. I don't want to go around blaming God for 1t. Any more than blaming myself"
 How could you blame you-self?"
 Why did 1 let her walk on the tracks with my lunch?" he demand cd passionately. He saw the whole thing once again. Why didn't I have sense to realize how dangerous 1t was? It was my waving my arms at her that made her step in the way of that special. If I'd left her alone, she might have taken care of herself. You might say l killed her-me!"

CHAOS ruled the Russia or the o revolutionary days. and the triumphant workers, marching on he landed estates of Moscow and other cities, took over the fine homes and beautiful public build tngs in one mighty surge.
 Ten years later, about 1923, the first readjustment was beginning and the new Russia laid plans for a huge building program of her own. The fruits of that program are now apparent.
 They show in a cut-to-the-bone nodernist pattern of architecture. notable for it's fitness rather thar It's beauty. It boasts certain freedom from the old traditions, the ancient embellished forms. It symbolizes the new Russia.
 So the Russians are building these days, literally, to the skies. Typical work is the vast projected Palace of the Soviets, with l20 elevators and 60 escalators, de- signed to be the tallest building In the world and to seat 10000 in the main hall. And like many of these buildings it will support a chromium statue of the revered Lenin at the very top. One of the proposed Russian skyscrapers IS shown here on a current Russian stamp, one of series on the new architecture.

NAUGATUCK SPORTS

Naugatuck, June 9.-The Italian bowling game of Boccie, played in outside courts during the summer, is being received with enthusiasm by the group at U. s. Rubber who have enrolled for a Boccie league.
 "Boccie," pronounced "boccha." is different from any American game. The object is to toss balls under handed as close as possible to a small ball called a "pallino". There are many interesting angles to the game. It is essentially sport of skill. Players adept at the game can throw twists or curves, controll- ing accurately the direction of the balls.
 Two leagues have been formed at U. s. Rubber, noon league and & night league. Ed Petrucelli, as- sisted by William Haskell, is in charge of the leagues. A court has been laid out near building AT. On the noon league are. Zonino, Free man, Milne, K. Goodyear, Petru- celli, Haskell, Rasche, Rabinovich, Doiron, Anastasio. Conway, Lally Barrett, Hunt, Ware, Owens, Lutz, Hall. Lauer.
 Players in the night league are: Collins, Garland, Bushnell, McCul- tough, R. Goodyear, Arnold, Brad shaw, Puya. Stevenson, Kosko, Day, Hill, Leary, Monahan, Benz, Con- lon, Zwick, Delaney, Younkin, Gibbs.
 Naugatuck, June 9.-With in- creasing interest in softball, sev- eral departments of U. s. Rubber have organized teams. These teams are in addition to the six team league and the U. s. Rubber team playing in the Waterbury Indus trial league.
 The tennis fabric cutting depart ment has team which has been practicing for sometime. The boot room team is playing games with outside teams and has already talk en the measure of well known district team.

 Joe Murray was not the only per son aware of what was happening Irene Murray, after watching him enigmatically for a long time, took occasion to speak to him once alone in a very dry tone indeed. You've sort of let yourself in for something, haven't you, Joe?"
 What do you mean?" he re- torted.

 But Joe did not. Put just that way. 1t was too unpleasant.
 Mrs. Murray herself was the next to broach the subject, Joe found her up and still at work in the kitchen when he arrived home late one evening. She was patiently finishing the weeks ironing, alone and thoughtful. Joe sat down for mo- ment with her; in large and swarming family moments of con- fidence are the more valued for their rarity.
 What about you and Terry Nal low, Joe?" he asked abruptly, out of clear sky.

Orioin Of "S+a+eroom"

The word "stateroom" is sup
posed to have originated with
Capt. Shreve in the early days of
travel on the Mississippi. He was
the first to put wooden partitions
between the sleeping quarters on
the river boats, and he followed
this by building separate rooms.
He named each room for q state
in the Union. 1t was the custom
for passenger to ask: (Which
state am I in?" Soon such quar-
tiers were known as staterooms.

Officers, and enlisted men at
Fort Myer and scores of Washing

school these days.
The "classeS" are being held in
the riding hall at the Army post,
where preparations are under
way for "Hoof Prints Of 1885," the
annual spectacular society circus
staged for the benefit of the Post
Recreation and Relief fund.
The show will be held March 81
through April 3, and will be bigger
and more thrilling than ever, with
several hundred daring riders
participating in the various
pageantS.
The life Of Tamerlane, famed
barbara leader whose forces swept
all the world before them, is the
main theme of the pageant this
year, and one Of the most spec
tacular numbers will be the fall Of
Bagdad, with several hundred
riders taking part in the wild
charges.
From early morning until late
at night rehearsals are being held,

HITS AUTO Lien.
RECORD SYSTEM
Asks Jurisdiction For
Traffic Director

IIOIIIS I'll NSSOI
Thousands of Washington auto
mobile owners are driving cars to
which they do not have a clear
title and against which there may
be hidden liens subjecting the cars
/ to seizure, members Of a Senate
District subcommittee learned to-
day.
Other purchasers Of both new
and used cars are driving ma.
chimes with liens still standing
against them solely because there
is no legal record Of release, the
committee was told.
ASK LEGISLATION
This condition was developed be-
fore a subcommittee headed by
Senator John H. Overton, Demo
crat Of Louisiana, as Washington
motor dealers, automobile clubs
and Traffic Director William A.
Van Duzer joined in asking action
on legislation sponsored by Sena-
tor William H. King, chairman of
the District Committee, transfer
ring Jurisdiction over the problem
Of automobile titles from the
Recorder Of Deeds to the Traffic
Director.
Van Duzer and other witnesses
said the plan was to index all
sales Of cars and liens against
them by the number of the auto
mobile rather than alphabetically.
They expressed the opinion that
this is the only method by which
a complete record of car sales and
car liens can be kept.
OPPOSES PLAN
Recorder Of Deeds william P.
Tompkins, reinforced by office as
siStants, vigorously objected to the
proposed transfer of authority and
declared that questionnaireS
brought replies from officials of
80 States saying that automobile
titles and chattel mortgages are
recorded by the recorder of deeds
in all Of these States.
Tompkins disputed a statement
by Van Duzer that jurisdiction
over automobile titles was in the
hands Of motor vehicle admins.
traitors in Delaware and Virginia.
CRITICISE FEE
Dick Murphy, representing the
Washington Automotive Trade AS.
sociation, was supported by
SpokeSmen for the automobile
clubs in criticizing the $1.50 fee
now charged by the recorder of
deeds for recording liens and re-
leases.
They declared that thousands Of
transactions in both new and used
cars in the District are not re-
corded at all now because of what
they characterized as excessive
fees.
WOULD "AID AUTOIST"
Director Van Duzer proposed 10
record all contracts relating to
changing in automobile owner
ship for a fee of not more than IS
or so cents, and to release liens
without charge.
Members of the subcommittee
were told that under the pro-
posed system automobile dealers
would be more interested in seeing
that purchasers were given a clear
title and that purchasers of cars
would have a better title than they
now have.
