Though the floodgates of ballots have swung wide open and votes are dropping into the official repository with the persistency of the current rain storm that has Waterbury in it's grasp, little Anthony Borelli still stands the master of the situation in The Democrats MOST POPU- LAR BABY CONTEST. There seems to be no limits to his popularity that has penetrated into every section of the city. But as popular as Master Tony is, he realizes that his posi- ton is menaced by another con- tender whose popularity is as equal ly great and whose persistency must be admitted. We speak of little Miss Margaret Lemere.
 Who's Who?
 The contest comes to an official close at 5 o'clock next Friday after noon, which explains the present flood of votes directed into The Democrat office in an effort of friends to change the situation. Whether Tony will be crowned king after Friday or whether Margaret will proceed to order her coronation costume is a question still in the hands of the jury, alias the public, or more Specifically-their friends!

Votes Pouring Into
 Official Ballot Box
Democrats Most Popular Baby Contest Closing Fri-
 day-New High Recorded in Interest Enthusiasm

There is considerable agitation in evidence among other contenders, so it is more than likely that the gen. eral standing will be subjected to radical changes within the next few hours.
 But as Friday will be the closing date, the changes will be determined by the number of ballots officially deposited. This week subscription to The Democrat counts for 100 votes and a few subscriptions may be the means of Waterbury's great. est popularity contest resulting either in the selection of King An- thony or Queen Margaret.
 Announcement Coming
 Just as speedily as the ballots are tubulated and checked the official standing will be made public.
 The Democrats circulation de- partment will announce the winners and the recipients of cash awards of $2O0 as speedily as possible after the closing of the polls.
 But remember, folks, your favorite is counting on you to register a preference and respond at time when fellow or girl needs friend to realize an ambition-the title o1 the city's most popular baby!

DRUNKEN YOUTHS
 TRY HORSEPLAY

What was reported as an at tempted hold-up was only some misguided horesplay by two young men who were drunk, police said to- day.
 John P. Schmitt, of 641 Water town avenue, reported that two young men had attempted to halt him as he was driving on Railroad Hill street early last night.
 Observation-Disclosures John Calvin and Detective-Sergeant Anthony Mariana went to the scene. They found that the two youths, both very drunk, had been pointing their fingers at passing cars. One of the pair was arrested on drunkenness charge.

I'D rather go naked" Willie
said earnestly. Il don't want ever
to meet them"
But he did meet them. 1t was
the next morning. He found a dis
carded morning newspaper in the
hall and he went up to the vacant
apartment on the third floor rear
to read it. He opened the door
and the first thing he noticed was
the open window in the dining
room. Absently, he walked over to
close it and a man with a five.

rammed a gun in his side.
"One word outta you and I'll

blond and bearded giant insisted.

little man.

He didn't stop for anything. He
rang for the elevator, got in, got
out and rushed home.
ooh, Kitty!" he gasped. For
Gods sake make up a lot OF sand
wiches and coffee. Hurry up. Oh,
God, Kitty! Hurry or We'll all be
killed."
"Why?" Kitty asked reason
ably.
"Oh, Kitty! Don't ask me. Only
make them up! Or we'll be dead
people. They told me! Hurry"
Kitty got the answer at once.
She made up the sandwiches with
shaking hands. She patted Willie
on the shoulder when he went out
and then she followed him. In the
other building, she asked the ele-
vator boy where he had taken
Willie. When she found out, she
went out and told the traffic cop
that Dalling and Wascowiecz were
with her husband in a vacant
apartment on the third floor OF the
apartment building. Willie, she
said, had Iured them there. The
traffic cop called the reserves.
WILLIE A HERO?
Willie handed the bag contain
ing the coffee and sandwiches to
the two desperate men and
watched them wolf them down.
Suddenly there was a rap on
the door. Dalling and Wascowiecz
went stiff, but Dalling pointed his
gun at Willie snarling:
You turned us I'M" he mum
bled. You lousy little rat!"
Willie. paralyzed, watched his
finger tightening on the trigger.
He started to recite what he re-
membered of the Prayers for the
Dying. Then he saw Dalling leap
forward and crumble and heard
a shot. The back windows were
full of policemen.

Here And
There
By w. M. Smith

The art exhibition shown at
Phyllis Wheatley House, Mime
apOlis, last Sunday, seems to this
writer to have reached new high
in race consciousness, and develop
ment.
Not that the compositions on
display claimed remarkable ex-
cellence, though to this more or less
uninitiated eye they well deserved
all the praise shOwered upon them.
1t was rather the atmosphere
that surrounded the exhibition and
the newer approach and apprecia-
ton shown by the visitors that
marked this occasion as differing
widely from anything heretofore
called to the attention of our
group.
We have grown accustomed to,
and, frequently impatient with,
youth in it's immaturity and un-
conscious conceit; we have won
dered if it could ever grow up, and
we have worried often enough, that
when it did reach maturity, would
the product justify our high hopes
and pay in definite dividends, the
investments made through the de-
veloping years.
Then comes this most comfort
ing answer through the medium of
this exhibition. Wide eyed young
men, grown beyond the thralldom
of youth, modest, yet far-seeing.
Appreciative of the beauty and cul-
tural possibilities in their art, con-
scious too, that they have reached
only the threshold of that wide
valley of knowledge through which
to climb to the heights and unwill-
ing to invite or accept undue praise
for accomplishments not yet per-
}
fected.
aItowas pleasure to hear them
voice their hopes and their ex-
pressed determination to succeed.
There were many other young
people about, not artists in their
own right, perhaps, but drawn to
this showing of artistic attempts by
fellow young people, as much by
the discarding of youthful hinder
ances, bOisterOus acclaim for the
wrong things of life and a ready
acceptance of things of real value,
as for the merits of the exhibition
itself. There was cOntagiOn in the
very air, as with quiet dignity they
welcomed visitors, conducted. them
to the various examples of paint
ings, photos and sculpture hung
