RULING RECORDED ON COMPENSATION
Tobacco Packers Status Determined By Assistant
 Attorney General

Hartford, May 6. - Persons em- ployed in packing" shade grown tobacco by the onwer or tenant of the farm on whic hthe tobacco is produced are not engaged in agri- cultural labor within the meaning of the Connecticut unemployment compensation act and thus are not exempt from the workings of the act, according to an opinion given oLabor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone by Harry Silverestone, assist ant attorney general.
 In his decision, Silverstone stated that labor employed in packing is excepted from the definition of em- ployment "only when carried on as an incident to ordinary farming op- erations as distinguished from man. ufacturing or commercial opera tions" even when it is performed by employees of the owner of the farm on which the material is produced in a natural state.
 It appears, he continued, that the majority of growers of shade tobacco either do not or cannot pack the tobacco they produce an das a con- sequence most fo the packing is done in city warehouses, not on farms. He also said that conditions under which packing is carried on more nearly approximate manufacturinfi or commercial operations than agri- culture.

WESLEYAN SHOWS
 NOVEL BIBLE BAG

Middletown, Conn.,, May 6-Libra- rian Fremont Rider of the Olin Memorial Library at Wesleyan uni- versity, who loves good books and fine printing, recently received a gift which would rend the heart of any booklover and shock every Christian.
 It was just a paper bag of the type used to carry dry groceries and was presented to the librarian by John Burlington of Middletown, a graduate student at Wesleyan this year. But 1t was far from being an ordinary bag, for it came from So- viet Russia and was made from two pages from a large Bible. The sa- cred book had been beautifully printed on fine paper and whether the vandalism was caused by 8 shortage of paper or was delib- crate affont to religion is unknown.
 The Bible bag will be placed on exhibition in the university library in the near future.

800 SINGERS IN
 ELM CITY REVUE
New England Mems Glee Clubs Sponsor Concert
 Next Week

Arrangements neared completion this week for the concert and con- test of the New England Federation of Mems Glee clubs, which will bring 800 singers from 28 cities to New Haven on May 13. The con- cert will offer a fitting climax to National Music week, which is being extensively observed in New Haven
 Last heard in Connecticut al Bushnell hall, Hartford, in 1885, the clubs selected New Haven this year at the invitation of the New Haven Telephone Mems Glee club, the "Bellmen". In response to inquiries about concert tickets, Manager E. L. Beebe of the telephone business of- flee here announced today that local residents planning to attend may obtain tickets at the telephone of flee.
 The glee clubs will be assisted in their concert at Woolsey hall, Yale university, by the New Haven Sym phony orchestra, under direction of Richard M. Donovan of the Yale School of Music and H. Frank Boz van at the console of the Newberry memorial organ.
 Professor Donovan is also writing the necessary musical arrangements which will permit the 800 voices of the combined glee clubs to be joined by the symphony orchestra and the concert organ. Thus, although many of the selections to be heard will be old favorites, the occasion will be a world premiere for many of the special arrangements. Professor Donovan is especially interested in the musical effects which can be created when 800 trained singers combine their talents with a sym phony orchestra and an organ of the wide range of that in Woolsey hall.
 Preceding the concert, the visit ing clubs will compete in song contest beginning at 1 D. m. at Sprague Hall, Yale School of Music, which is open to holders of concert tickets without additional charge. Each competing club will sing two numbers-Ben Jonson's Hymn to Diana," set to music by Thomas F. Dunhill, and one song selected by the club. Contest awards will be announced at the concert that even- ing.

Before he saw the great light, Hawthorn used to be a sawmill man. His first act on coming to Fishville was to resolve to do no more work. His second was to open general store.
 Work? Not for Hawthorn. He lets his customers wait on them- selves, and even make their owll change. They watch each other Hawthorn says, to maintain the honesty required by this ingenious system. The wholesale grocery people cooperate, too. They just come and look over the stock and ship in what's needed. No involved transactions, no work. This idyllic system eliminated as a plague-spot of ambition Fishville's only large business enterprise.
 Having achieved a sort of per- petual motion in the store, HaW- thorn now devotes himself to sitting in the sun, fishing, visiting friends, and maintaining a mild vigilance against any intrusion by energy or work.
 This is easy in Fishville, and Hawthorn insists that he has not exerted himself in 20 years. His worst experience came in 1881 when he dreamed he was cutting down a tree. That was awful!
 Fishville, a small community of summer camps on the banks of Big Creek near Alexandria in central Louisiana, has been a center of laziness since 1920. And Mayor Hawthorn, though he turned to the lazy life only in 1913 carries on the tradition nobly. But not too ag- gressively - that would spoil everything!
