 Provide Work For l7O Youths in Local Area

| ball diamonds and other improve ments that will make a fine athle- tic field out of what was once a swamp area. All grading on this field has been done by hand and the boys deserve credit for the re- suits accomplished.

 Eight Per Cent Here
 An an indication of the value of the IVA program in Waterbury last year. MT. Barrett pointed out that the turnover into private en- ployment from IVA ranks was about eight per cent of the total person. nel. He also expressed his appre- citation for the cooperation the IVA has received from various agen- cies throughout the city and from the City administration in the origination of work projects. These projects have given the youth of Waterbury a necessary and practical work experience in addition to aid ing them with small income.
 Only those unemployed young people between the age of eighteen and twenty-four, inclusive, are eligible for IVA employment. These must be certified by the local Well fare Department as being in need. IVA youtrm workers are employed for a period of 50 hours per month for which they receive a salary av- eraging $2O per month. In addition workers are required to attend classes designed to provide addi- tional related instruction that will increase the employability of the young job seeker.

kitchen floor?
From a moth-eaten scrap Of cotton
blanket Jeremy Enclosed a handbag
made of alligator hide, powdered with
green mold. He recognized it at once
for the bag his father had bought In
Fort Myers 80 years ago and presented
In his, Jeremys name, to Emily Pet
erson
Inside was mass of shining $40
gold pieces, 1t would be impossible to
say without counting how many, but
there must have been at least a hun
bred
Jeremy passed shaking hand across
his forehead, feeling a little sick and
giddy. His mouth went dry, and his
eyes were staring with unbelief at the
treasure he had disinterred
He remembered that the bag had
heavy look when his father set it on
Emily Peterson's kitchen table, and
that hurriedly, before she had time to
admire her presents. Freeman Dexter
had said that he and Jeremy must be
going now. He had put the gold pieces
into the bag for Emily, and he didn't
want her to find them until he was
gone. Or perhaps he didn't want Jer-
envy to know. One could think what
one pleased, since there was nobody
left to explain

Freeman Dexter even shud he not hap
pen to be in want of it frum his lovin'
nanny, Emily Peterson. I want he
shud have sumpin frum me.
Jeremy stared at the illiterate scrawl
for long time, then he folded it very
carefully and put it into his note case
She was dead, he knew. she must
have died suddenly without chance
to tell anybody about her cache and
for whom it was intended.
He unfolded a clean handkerchief
and blew his nose rather vigorously,
then he got up and, carrying the little
alligator bag in the crook Of his arm,
made his way through the dripping
underground back to the roadster.
When Mile returned from the bridge
party that afternoon, she found him
sitting where she had left him, on the
steps of the trailer.
Therefore Jeremy owed her five
bucks.

1888 FISHING LICENSES
GOOD UNTIL APRIL 80

If you bought a fishing license last
year and now feel the urge to try your
luck seeking whitefish in the Missouri
river. you won't need TO buy a new
license, at least not until April go
Many are of the impression that
fishing licenses are issued for calendar
years.
The licenses are good from April 80
to April 30, inclusive. New 1889 Ii
censeS, good from April 80, this year,
to April 30, next year. are not expected
to be available until about April Is
Many whitefish and some trout are
now being caught in the Missouri river
by those who use extremely small flies,
who fish in the eddieS at about sun
down-and who don't jerk too hard
when they get bite, dealers say.

By Grand Jurors
BY the Associated Press.

BATON ROUGE, La, July 13.-
Former Gov. Richard w. Leche re-
turned here today in response to d
grand jury summons to testify about
Louisiana State University affairs,
but was dismissed for the day be-
fore he entered the grand jury room
His dismissal as a witness along
with 10 other highly placed State
officials and university board super
visors surprised Jury attendants.
All were asked to return tomorrow.
The jury then announced 1t would
proceed with examination of nine
laborers at the State university,
some of whom have filed affldavits
charging irregularity in w. P. A.
activities there.
Behind doors barred even to its
stenographers and its own attorneys
MIR. Ellison and District Attorney
Dewey Sanchez-the jury yesterday
was closeted 40 minutes with DR..
James Monroe Smith, the resigned
school head charged with embez-
zling 100000 from the university.
Probe Funds Sought.
Until he walked into the Jury
room Dr. Smith had steadfastly re-
fused to discuss his case with law
agency, but it was recalled that u
days ago he exclaimed upon his
return under guard from Canada:
I'll have more to say later"
Shortly after DR.. Smith went
back to his cell. still lacking s50,0 900
bond, the jury asked the parish
County for $1,000 to broaden its
investigation.
Mr.. Leche, recuperating at his
1,2O0-acre Covington estate from
the arthritis attack he said forced
him to resign "a hours after DR..
Smith quit, has several times ex-
pressed willingness to appear before
the jury.
Also summoned were Supreme
Court Justice John B. Fournet and
Superintendent of State Police Louis
F. Guerre, both close to Mr.. Long
when he was carving himself a DO
Itical empire in the State.
Supervisors Under Fire.
Justice Fournet, also a member
OF the L. S. U. Board of Supervisors,
was IN the Governors mansion when
DR.. Smith resigned. Mr.. Guerre an
nounced later that he had not been
instructed to arrest the bald educa-
tor until two hours after he had
walked out of the mansion.
The school supervisors, ordered
to appear before the jury individ-
ually, have been under fire from
alumni, faculty and newspapers de-
manding that the university be de
politicalized" and that the board
resign.
Yesterday was the first time Mr..
Sanchez and Mr.. Ellison were ex-
cluded from the jury room, but the
district attorney later declared:
I'VE now have enough facts to
present to the grand jury to warrant
a number of indictments. We have
been handicapped by not having
enough investigators to gather in
formation to speed the work of the
jury"

The bird belongs to the great finch
family, which also contains the various
sparrows.
Its common names are many and
varied, including, besides towhee and
chewink, both in wide use. such moni-
kers as towhee bird, swamp robin,
ground robin, bullfnch, red-eyed tow
hee, towhee bunting, jo-ree, marsh robin,
bush bird, turkey sparrow.
1t is interesting to note that these
names give physical peculiarities, as
to eye color, location, such as marsh
and swamp robin, and location of nest,
bush bird. The red iris of the bird
can be seen easily at some distance.
Towhee is the preferred popular name,
although many insist on using chewink,
These two names bring up the peren-
NAL question of whether bird songs
really "say" anything.
Each of these names Is some ones
idea Of how its song sounds in spring.
time. At this time of year it is silent.
Such nature lovers as Thoreau and
Seton had totally different ideas of
what the towhee's song really says to us.
Thoreau wrote his idea of the song
thus: "Hip-you, he-he-he-he."
To Seton the towhee says. Chuck
burr, pil-a-Will will will"
So take your choice.
Seeds and insects form the principal
food of this bird its mate and offspring.
1t eats wild fruits in season, and some
times gains the farmers wrath, but
farmers are wrathful men, anyway, much
given to making menacing gestures at
birds and men,
No one can say truthfully that towhees
90 any harm to crops, but one can
say with some force that these good birds
do help clean up insect enemies.
The bird Is bit of a ventrilouuist
IN spring, making it hard to detect in
the woods and swampy places it prefers.
Its voice seems to come first from
one place and then from another. How
1t achieves this effect is not known.
Its scratching in dry leaves offers one
OF the easiest ways to identify it, along
with its handsome black head
curious fact is that the coWbird
likes the towhee's nest best of all for
depositing its own eggs. The parent
toWhees, unable to detect the fraud,
feed the f1edgling cowbirds along with
their own f1edgling chewinks
You will have to look closely to see
the female towhee among the sparrows
f1ocking around the feeder. While she
is larger, her general coloration is close
to that OF English sparrows, song SPAR
