Snow Flakes! Young Ice.Cream "Snitcher" Shows Up-Held for
 Hearing.

Snow white as ice-cream fell on Waterbury yesterday and this isn't any fairy story, either.
 The long arm of the law, as some journals have it, reached out yesterday for Q certain 12-year-old boy who had been reported to police as an habitual truant from school.
 When the lad appeared before Miss Kathleen Crowley, probation officer of the juvenile court, Miss Crowley recollected @ resemblance to some boy who had visited her office on another occasion.
 She turned back the calendar to August, the season of ice- cream, not snow. And what do you suppose resulted?
 Seems the lad had been brought in by Motor Patrolman Phelan last August for stealing ice-cream. Two companions got away. The youth gave Miss Crowley about eight addresses for himself and his companions, eight names, none of which proved the right one when 1t came time to check up on his none-appearance in juvenile court last summer.
 Now young master ice-cream snitcher and stayer-away from school is known by his right name an he will appear in juvenile court Friday, almost six months late in keeping his appointment. But he'll be there this time.
 If there is a moral, then it would appear that boys can fool with the police only perhaps once not twice.

 HiilbilIy Governor Ken,s investigator recalls that Philip E.

Lee O'Daniell, recently inaugurated as the hillbilly-band governor of the largest state in the Union. He con- tinues:
 "Fox was In constant touch with you during the election, wasn't he? I asked Evans.
 "Yep. We've always been good friends and he wrote to me often
 "Does he still ask for advice and things like that9'
 "'Yep.'
 "Klan got . lot Of influence in Texas?'
 "The old wizard smiled and wink. cd a long, slow wink. We have more governors now than we ever had, he said in c confidential tone. But we're not talking so much about 1t. When we have q real klanSman in office we keep quiet nowadays. Now he cautioned, don't go get- ting the idea that I'm claiming the hillbilly governor. I'm just saying that Fox helped little, and Fox is very good friend of mine"

The dramatic episode of siegmund and siegiinde Is unfolded with all the intensity Of the authors drama and music. Tn this long opera, filled with most spectacular and thrilling episodes, Miss Curtis drew attention to the fact that many of the musical motifs of the previous opera in the series, "Das Rheingold,' are repeated, and many new ones introduced, such as the sword motif. The climax of this opera in drama and music arc the wild cries of the Walkuren and their ride across the sky conduct- ing the worthy heroes of battle to Valhalla. Among these maidens, Drunhilde makes her appearance in the opera under discussion; she first presents tho Walkuren battle cry which at the climax of the opera is taken Up by oil the Wall kuren.
 Following her synopsis of the opera Miss Curtis played passages Introducing some of the more iin- portant themes and motifs, the fire music, siegmund's Spring Song, and other important passages in Q con- densed form. Her next lecture recital will take place Tuesday, February 2i, when "siegfricd" will Do her subject. The Mattatuck Musical Art society is sponsoring this exceptional series.
