was more than half way now. Hlat- tery's store would be next and then Carols corner.
 Snow caked his windshield, ex- cept the tiny area kept warm by the electric heater and cleaned by the beating wiper blade. Alan peered out, trying to see beyond the limited range of his headlights. Everything was white. where the lights shone, then impenetrable blackness.
 Suddenly out of the darkness another pair of headlights gleamed brightly, coming directly toward him. Alan wrenched the steering wheel, pulled his car far to the right as the other automobile shot by him.
 "Fooll" he muttered, as the whirlwind of snow in its wake swirled around him. His anger passed quickly, however, and he found himself wondering if the driver would make the Price corner safely.
 Carroll was waiting in the door. way as Alan turned in the lane, and beside the car as 1t stopped.
 "Run Ter right into the shed, there, Doc, out of the storm" the farmer said. Sure glad to see you," he went on without waiting for Alan to answer. Hated to call you out in this blizzard but the missus-"
 "It's all right, John. This storm is overrated," Alan told him as he pulled his obstetrical bag from the car. Flows Mrs. Carroll?"
 She's having quite a bit of pain, Doc. But her sister, who's nurse, came yesterday and she's not wor- ried much. She knew you'd be here in time, too"
 Inside the farmhouse Alan wormed his hands over the kitchen range. Better call Slattery's and Prices and tell them I'm here. I won't try to make it back before daylight" He turned toward the bedroom door, opened 1t softly.
 Across the room a white, pain drawn face looked up at him.
 I'm so glad you came, Dr. Alan," the woman said, with a smile. Everything will be all right now"
 ''Is everything ready, Terminal" Emily asked as she stepped into the

 Even white teeth bit her lower lip and a firm chin lost all its firm ness in quivering.
 She heard a car stop in the drive way, its chained wheels biting sharply into the crisp, hard snow. That would be Alan. Perhaps Mrs. Carroll was all right. Perhaps = ! She dabbed handkerchief at her eyes, smoothed her dark brown curls, as she passed mirror. She could hear Alan stamping the snow from his shoes in the entry. The hall door swung wide.
 Allan, Alan! Close the door, be- fore you freeze mel"
 His arms were around her, pressing the snowy wetness of his coat through her dress. He kissed her, again and again.
 Emily burrowed through the folds of his overcoat, pressed closer to him.
 "It's so good to have you home, darling" she whispered, i've been so cold and so lonesome. I'm afraid when it gets dark and stormy"
 Alan kissed her once more be- fore releasing her.
 There's nothing in the world for my sweet little wife to be afraid of," he said, as he slipped out of his coat, shook the snow from his hat. 'We're in for 8 blizzard, the weatherman says, but it will prob- ably be the last of the winter. Tell Herminia to keep good fire in the fireplace.
 "By the way, have her fix me bite to eat. I'm too early for dinner, I know. but I'll have to have some thing. Got to make a trip into the country. Mrs. Carroll. She would pick a night like this to have a baby. Snow foot deep on all the roads already, and most of them will be drifted shut before morning.

 "Perhaps should have been a veterinary instead of a physician no worries, and you take the patient if they don't pay" Alan's ringing laugh echoed throughout the house.
 But Emily did not laugh. In- seed, she stared at her tall, hand

 Lights were dancing in Alan's dark blue eyes, like sparks from cold steel, as he laughed. She had seen those eyes, soft and hurt, re- fleet the pain of an anguished pa-

 Jobs Warns Commission Judge

at the end of June and that the holder of the mortgage on his home, the Lomas & Nettleton O., has threatened to call the mortgage un- less he shows fully-paid receipt for his assessment. Commissioner GoSs said he doubted such action could be taken.
 Commissioner Judge said that the city assessments for sewers are less than the cost to the city, even with WPA labor. The cost last year, he said, averaged $40 a foot, while the average collection was only $3.49 per foot.
 The conferees discussed, without reaching any conclusion, the issu- ance of relief bonds, the transfer of the Baldwin street bridge bond fund to a sewer fund, and other possibili- ties of securing funds for the city's share. of WPA sewer work.
 At one point during the evening, Senator Culhane asked the question: 1: Would you rather. have a man lose his job or lose his home?"
 As the meeting neared its close, Commissioner Judge sounded an ominous note: "Therell be great dis content in the ctiy, I'm afraid. With this bill we'll have to let those WPA sewer workers go. We won't even be able to feed the people if we don't have the money we figured on from sewer assessments.

Trust Company Again Rurs7ored
 In Realty Deal

The perennial rum0r of the Colonial Trust Company pur- chasing the fc-mer Southern New England Telephone com pany's building on Leavenworth street was revived again today. However, this morning it was stated on fairly reliable author ity that the transaction had been closed and that the bank would announce shortly it's plans of either converting the former telephone exchange headquarters into an addition to it's present bank building, which graces the corner of West Main and Leavenworth streets, or demolishing the pres ent structure and building sn addition along harmonious ar- chitectural lines.
 The telephone building has been idle for several years. Time and again it was reported sold to various local fraternal or- ganizations. The Citizens and Manufacturers Bank was also reported as the new owner on one occasion.

wire cable from which would be suspended hooks similar to grap- bling irons, but consultation with the engineering unit of the Scovill Manufacturing Company brought out the fact that such heavy equip ment would endanger the dam. Po- lice and street department employees had intended to probe the deep area close to the spillway, on the theory that the body of the missing child might be caught in the trees, shrubs and debris which infest the bottom of the pond, an area that was impossible to boats and divers.
 Search Continues
 Search of the swamp and dump area near Jackie's home continued today, however. According to police. workers will probe this section to- day, still on the theory that deep holes in the swamp might hold the solution to the childs strange disap- pearance, and will search the Mad river once more tomorrow.
 A conference between a committee of the East End Community club and Deputy Supt. Daniel J. Carson, of the police department, was held last night, and preliminary plans with regard to the printing and mailing of reward posters were dis cussed. Over 800 reward notices and descriptions and photographs of Jackie to police departments all over the country will be put into circula- tion. The club has set aside $1,000 out of the total collected for a re- ward to be paid to the person or per- sons supplying information leading to the recovery of the missing child. The remainder, approximately $l00, will be used to defray expenses of printing the notices and their dis tribution, and legal expenses which might be incurred by dispute over the reward.

CUSTER MYSTERY
 BLAMED ON LEAK
State Treasurer's Hope for Oil We'll DWindles After
 Investigation

] Maugatuck, April Estate Treas ur,.r Joseph E. Talbot thought yes- tesday he might have an oil well on his premises at Walnut terrace, but investigation today led to the theory that oil is leaking from some oil tank in the vicinity.
 lIr. Talbot has noticed the smell of oil for about two months and yes- terday dug into his lawn when re observe, some of the grass was dying. He found strong traces Of oil in the ground but being cautious by nature did not immediately order material for digging deep in the hope of bringing up "gusher."
 Borough Engineer Robert D. Beardsley and Street Department Supt. Jam Brophy were notified and with Assistant Street Depart ment Supt. Harold Murtha they went up this morning to investigate.
 They found that the oil ln the Talbot lawn was coming apparently from a negihhor's y:rd and found ci, seeping from drain pipe at the home of Elmer Munson nearby.
 Mrs. Munson said representa- tive of fuel company checked re- gently and could not find any leak i-l her oil tank. She said the oil has
 cen showing in the drain pipe for . the paso two weeks, since heavy rain, but was not apparent when the Talbot family and John Tatigian, another neighL or first noticed 1t two months ago.
 Borough Engineer Beardsley plans to check with the builder of the Munson home to determine the To- cation of drains. The mystery has not yet been solved but it does seem certain hat there is a leak some where.

OUR CONGRESSMAN
Monthly Letter Written for The Ely Miner by
WILLIAM A. PITTENGER
Member of Congress, Eighth Minnesota District

luth that I was opposed to the lay offs
and to the reduction in funds at this
time, because it would work hardship
on northern Minnesota.
I favored the $875, 100000 appropria-
ton and when that was defeated, I
voted for the $75O,0O0,OOO appropriation
because it was the best we could get,
from the Democratic Leaders. We ap-
preciate fully the unemployment con-
ditions in our District and are doing
everything possible to see that addition
al funds are provided in order to help
the unemployed in our section.
In my opinion, the matter of relief
should be handled by the different To-
calities and federal funds should be
made available>to help out the different
local governing bodies. In this way,
the graft and the politics and the good
jobs created on w. P. A, would be
eliminated and the unemployed man
who actually does the work, could re-
ceive an increase in his labor's wages,
and more unemployed men could be
| taken care of.
Until we can change the relief set-up,
/ feel that I should support increased
appropriations which will enable the
different relief projects to employ more
men

Fall Lake by the residents of that town
and not change to Winton as proposed
by some. Fall Lake had not been re-
cognized by the map makers and the
change to Winton was proposed. This
was voted down as the belief was ex-
pressed that Fall Lake would be gov

wanted as the village wished to retain
its present officers.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 31.-Today
marks the end of the first month of the
session of the 10th Congress of the
United States.
BY far the overShadowing problem
has been relief and W. P. A. appropri-
point of interest was the organization
of the House and the Senate. The
House selected a Speaker and its other
officers, but before doing this the
Democrats and Republicans each held
their caucus and selected their candi-
dates for these positions. The Demo-
Gratis organized the House and the Re
publicans still occupy the Minority
position. These same remarks substan-
TALLY apply to the Senate.
Right from the beginning, not only
among the Democrats but also among
the Republicans, the question of what
| to do with the w. P. A. claimed atten-
ton. The President asked for $685.
100000 and the House after several days
of consideration passed the bill for
$725, 100000. On last Friday the Senate
adopted the House figure. The matter
will now go to conference where it is
possible for it to be held up for several
days.
| You can find reasons for most any
construction you want to place on these
developments. Some say that the Dem
ocrats in the House and Senate put up
battle in order to teach the President
that they were no longer rubber stamps
and that he would have to recognize
the right of Congress to perform its
constitutional functions.
Others say that the fact there has
been politics and misuse of funds in
the w. P. A led to the adoption of the
$725 100000 figure.
There are still other explanations.
There are also remarks to the affect
that W. P. A. people are laying off as
many men as they can in order to de-
evlop sentiment back in the Congress
sional Districts. If men are being laid
off they will, of course, write to their
member of Congress to support in
creased appropriations and this political
strategy is hoped by administration
leaders to turn the trick in favor OF
Legislation and larger relief funds. Still
another explanation is that the time tc
economic has arrived and from now
on conservative Democrats and anti
New Dealers are going to insist that
when money is to be spent, it be raised
by taxation and the pay as you go plar
be followed.
But after all is said and done if more
money is needed for w. P. A., the Presi.
dent can come to Congress and get it.
: do not believe it is the attitude o.
the majority of the Members of Con.
gress to deny relief where relief i
needed.

Produce Man Finds
FOur-Legged Chicken.

Kiester-Four drum sticks from one
chicken may be asking a lot but might
not be impossible at that. S. P. Dollum,
local produce dealer discovered
chicken recently that had four legs.
The extra leg had grown out beside
another leg set straight back among the
tail feathers. Mr.. Dollum decided an
extra drum stick wouldn't be bad for
dinner, so beheaded the fowl. When
feathers were removed it was found that
the extra leg had two feet. There's
an idea for some of our big poultry
raisers. Why not develop a four-legged
chicken? 1t ought to pay.
