BUCKLEY ESTATE
.SUESFOR $4,000
Fatal Accident on East
Waterbury Road Basis
of Claim

Atty. William F. Jones, Jr., coun-
sci for Bernice T. Buys, executrix of
the estate of Esther N Buckley, to-
day filed suit in superior court for
$4,000 against Mortimer Nadel as a
result of Mrs. Buckley's death.
The deceased, according to the
complaint, was riding in an automo-
bile on the East Waterbury road in
Naugatuck on March 20, 1899, when
the car in which she was riding was
struck by one driven by the de-
PENDANT. The accidens occurred at
the junction of the East Waterbury
road and the Prospect City
road
The complaint sets forth that
Nadel was driving at an excessive
rate of speed and crashed into the
car in which the decease was riding
with such force that she was thrown
forward in the car and sustained
fractured right clavicle, three broken
ribs and internal injuries. 1t is
further alleged that she was left at
the scene of the accident for con-
siderable length of time before being
taken in private car to Union
City where the Waterbury hospital
ambulance was called. She died at
the Waterbury hospital on Sept. II.
Gross negligence is charged against
the defendant in that he was al
legedly driving fast, failed to slow
up sufficiently fol the intersection,
and to look for possible approaching
vehicles.
The complaint sets forth that the
woman's estate has been compelled
to spend large sums of money to
meet bills incurred by the fatal &C
cident.

LIFE ON COBB
DESERT RELATED
DR.. Roy Chapman Andrews
Interests Large Audience
at Church Forum

DR.. Roy Chapman Andrews, direc-
tor of the Museum Of Natural HIS
tory told the story Of several expedi-
lions into the Cobb desert at the
Second Congregational church forum
last night. Dr.. Andrews himself Or
ganized and led the expeditions.
DR.. Andrews said that 1t was the
accidental discovery Of dinosaur eggs
on one of the expeditions which
caught the public imagination. He
stated that he and his group of SCI
entists when they started for Mon
golia and the Cobb desert were not
even sure that dinosaurs had laid
eggs. The eggs were found by a
member of the expedition who was
looking for something entirely diff
ferent. The eggs had fallen of q
ledge and were exposed
I'VE thought" DR.. Andrews con-
tinued, "that there were probably
more eggs in the stone OF the ledge,
but we couldn't he sure. We didn't
have the time to scrape and rub
the rock to pieces, so we decided
to send the whole piece back to
New York. It weighed several
hundred pounds and made quite
problem, but we got it to New
York, and then began to think what
a joke 1t would be on us If there
was nothing in 1t. But we were
lucky. Not only did we find
whole nest of perfect eggs in the
rock, but we also found the COM
plete skeleton Of a small variety of
dinosaur. The eggs were about nine
inches long, and the adult dinosaur
about nine feet, almost half of
which was tail. If we had needed
any further evidence that the OBJ
jects were really dinosaur eggs. we
had 1t when we opened one and found
the complete skeleton Of an infant
dinosaur."

OUR TOWN
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

introducing Miss Matte Brown, Schoolteacher)
There's one esteemed person In our town
And that's our popular Matte Brown.
she's not real stylish but still she looks nifty,
Her age they say, is something over fifty
Neat as pin she wears good Clothes
But not too modern goodness knows
For years she's taught Center school sixth grade,
She may be a spnster but she's not an old maid.
Friend to the young and old alike,
She's very active and even rides bike
Matte always helps friend in need,
She enjoys nice things but she has a creed
That much modern talk is just dizzy dlZzlneSs
And her motto Isl mind your own business.
She's right smart too has general knowledge,
On the quiet has sent several to college
To head committees she's usually picked,
There's many truant boy she has licked
No one goes wrong taking Miss Matte's advice,
She's fine she's swell, she's strict but she's nice.
In short it's often said in Our Town
That they don't come finer than Miss Matte Brown

The Capone syndicate, as Chi
cago police call the post-repeal
hangover of the old mob, shifted
its attention for the most part to
more lawful fields when repeal end
ed the big money in Illicit liquor.
The group is said to still control
part of the Windy City's cleaning
and dyeing industry.
Horse racing, vice and gambling
add to the syndicate's revenue.
Most of Chicago's betting hand
books are under it's management.
Police say bookies who wish to
operate under their own auspices
are forced to pay protection in order
to stay healthy and in business.
Staying REVEALS
SYNDICATES ACTIVITY
The recent shotgun Staying of
Edward j. O'Hare, president of
Chicago's Sportsman Park race
track, revealed what police believe
is the syndicate's intention to
branch out into other fields of pro-
fessional sport. O'Hare was found
to be a director of the Chicago
Cardinals, professional football club,
and was known to have been ang-
ling for a roller skating derby con-
cession in several southern states.
O'Hare was regarded as front
man for the syndicate and as Ca
pone's stand-in during the latter
Alcatraz stay.
Chicago police claim to be as
mystified as the public about the
part former Capone lieutenants
play in the present syndicate setup.

Informed opinion is that no mat
ter what the syndicate's next move
is, and whether or not Capone re-

ly missed. The dead man was suave
clever, and without peer as a con-
tact with persons whom 1t was i'm

Make Good
Presents
Heavy Makeup Is
Taboo When You
Face Camera
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

We give photographs as gifts be-
cause they are likenesses-not be.
cause we want friend to have a
glamorous picture of pretty girl!
People love you because you are
You, and that You should be caught
by the camera. So many girls make
the mistake Of attempting to look
like screen stars when they have
their portraits taken.
BY all means look natural when
you go to the photographers! Have
your hair dressed as usual and see
that 1t Is set at least two days be-
fore your appointment. Brush 1t
out well (to encourage highlightsJ
and arrange it softly-set waves
and rlnglets are too static to have
any beauty.
Be sure to select a day when
you look rested and happy. Rest
we'll a couple of nights before. so
your eyes will be bright and your
skin clear. The camera, my dears,
catches every little eye puff and
every little tired line-so give it
your best face to work on
Speaking of eyes-they should be
made up expertly with shadow, mas
cara and brow pencil. 1 said ex-
pertly-not SO ladened with cos
metics they look like vampires of
the silent screen!
When you face the camera don't
get frightened. Let light and hu-
mour sparkle in your eyes-make
them speak for you. You can do
this only If you are relaxed and
entirely unself conscious. Joke with
the photographer if you can, so a
natural and not a forced smile
will light up your face and make
your eyes dance with merriment.
Some authorities say that a smiling
photograph grows boring after a
while, but do not agree with them.
Ii your smile is natural l think it
adds to your photograph, particu-
larry if you plan to give it to Your
best beau and to members of your
family. A photograph for COM
merclal reasons may be a more
serious study.
II you have freckles let them
show, but try to conceal minor skin
blemlshes. Many models hignlight
their skin with a very thin layer
OF grease cream. and others coat
their skin with panchromatic make
up such as the stars use. But a
good foundation cream and a care
1ul poWdering with a shade ap-
proved by your photographer
should give you sufficiently nice
skin texture.
Be wary of lipstick. In fact YOU
should seek your photographers
advice as to which shade is better.
Wear simple dress, for SIM
plicity is fashionable throughout the
ages-a fussy dress dates too quick
ly. Ask the photographer to take
several poses front face, profile and
both sides at least. We all have an
angle which photographs best.

Christmas? 1t was so nice and

ing him the Christmas stocking full
of dog biscuits and things that were
good for him" it whetted his ap-

he sneaked down the escalator,
which threw him off at the bottom,
and begged some candy off the

when the boss trailed him and bore

But it wasn't until she and that

by the Department of Agriculture
that he really lost his patience. 1t
was sure cure for insects of all
sorts, domestic and foreign. And
they wanted him to choose it for
his present. Him!
1t just sort of got under his skin
and he set out again. His Christmas
present, huh. He'd show them! He
did! He picked out a lovely Rag
gedy Andy doll, now slightly worn
ana lying beside him. And here
he was, tied. actually tied up, in
the lost and found department,
where a floor walker had carried
him.
Lost? Phooey, he wasn't lost It
