 For Child'S Medical Checkup

 A carload of foot trouble in later life is a result of exercise attempt ed too soon after convalescence. Bones and the muscles controlling the mlack seasoning, and, if used too soon, result in misplaced arches, or ankle or knee strain. A check-up now may be wise on that score. The lazy" child who won't go out to play because he can't run well, may merely need some correcting exer- cises or treatment.
 Any source of infection, such as teeth, troath or nose, will cause laziness. Find out whether it really is spring fever, or something else.

Gay Silhouette

Tight little jackets and full swirling skirts make the chic spring silhouette for slim young figures. A simple rayon taffeta frock in small navy and white check with a full, full skirt is very smart worn under snug basque jacket of soft navy wool. And one should wear a ruffled lingerie petticoat underneath to show when brisk breezes pillow the skirt. This same jacket suit is shown, too, in brown
 and white and black and white.

 has been lack of sun, less exercise in the open, and so on.
 Many children are bit depict ed in the spring, particularly if they have had illness during the winter months. And as physical fitness has lot to do with behavior, I should like to suggest that mothers con- slider the possibility of laziness, con- trariness or complaint as being something other than mere notions due to rising sap and warm spring zephyrs.
 AS most mothers are firm believ- CTS, and rightly, in the once-a-year check up for all children, think early spring the best time to have it done.
 Some children, like their elders, become a little anemic at times. Or they may lack calcium for their bones. Yes, I suppose you have been giving the babies and rundown ones some preparation of fish-oils, and that is fine. But even so, the annual look-over is a very satisfying thing. If John or Mary are as sound as good apples then there is nothing lost in knowing it.
 Heart trouble in children is worrying the doctors. It should not be so, but it is. Some of the little pains that you thought were grow ing pains only, may have been a touch of rheumatic fever.
 Real fatigue" children have bad color, are dull-eyed, droop-shoulder- ed and very thin.
 ScOlding an Injustice
 The child who cries too easily or won't try to study, or gets angry too often, may be trying to tell you in his own inarticulate way that he feels terrible, or just tired. Any scolding may impress him as an in- justice. And, if he is not up to par 1t really IS an injustice to plague him about conduct that he himself

more."
 The records he kept, and the knowledge he had of truck hire ODonnell said, would not include trucks hired on contract jobs. Some WPA project truck-hire would be unknown to him, he admitted.
 Under cross examination by Attor- ney Patrick Healey, ODonnell said that the papers were burne3 to make room in the "closet' used for stor- age. He said that the closet was SC packed with papers that one "had to step over them"
 Alcorn said that he claimed the burning of the records "as a part of the conspiracy" O'Donnell said that he spent several hours, over period of three days, assisted by George Smith. The first group of papers. he said, was burned on Sunday. He later explained that the office of the city yards is open every Sunday.
 Payroll Sheets
 Attorney Healey drew from the witness testimony that for a few. months of 1887, records of payments to contractors would be found on the payroll sheets. The payroll sheets for several years are in ex- iStence as far as he knows, he said
 ODonnell told Attorney Sidney Cassell that the information used as basis for bis testimony about city trucks was "hazy" and speculation.
 The witness was excused by state and defense at the close of yester- days session, but Alcorn reserved the right to recall him today if he desired.
 In the absence of the jury. Attor- ney George Crawford asked Judge Inglis to advise both sides that no witness should be placed under pressure. He said he made the ob- servation without insinuation.'
 Conference
 To which Judge Inglis remarked, There must be an insinuation or you would not make the observa- tion." Judge Inglis said that he thought it the practice to confer with witnesses to find out what they are going to testify, and concluded there is nothing called for at this time"

DIVORCE SOUGHT
 ON NOVEL CLAIM

New York. April 21.-UP)-A convent educated bride of less than a year who hoped for motherhood awaited decision today on her suit for annulment of her marriage, brought on the grounds that her surgeon husband had secretly in- sured himself against fatherhood through a sterilization operation.
 She was Mrs. Mary Ann Collinge, graduate of Cathedral college in Portland, Me-, who, until her mar riage last July 2l to Dr. Clyde Will son Collinge, was social worker. She charged in supreme court that her husband, widely known urolo- gist, had kept his operation secret for four months after their mar riage.
 Referee Daniel F. Cohalan re- served decision.
 Mrs. Collinge, the former Mary Ann Foley, said that her husband told her of the operation only af- ter she had confided to him last November 2 that she thought she was going to have a baby. He mere- ly griniled. she said, and then told her what had happened.
 Dr, Lester Breidenbach testified that he had performed the steriliza- ton surgery at the request of Col linge in May or June. 1887. Mrs. Collinge said she never would have married Collinge If she had known of the operation.

Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn was given the right by Judge Ernest A. Inglis in the conspiracy trial yes- terday to cross examine a state wit ness-Francis c. ODonnell. The witness, clerk in the city yards for nine years. testified that he and George Smith burned records of the street department last November or December, on orders from Supt. of Streets Thomas J. Fleming, a de- fendant in the trial.
 Alcorn was given the right to cross examine his own witness after Judge Inglis ruled that O'Donnell, "by his answers" appeared to be hostile"
 O'Donnell identified the records he burned as duplicates, the originals having been sent to the cntrollers office. Time books, which were in- cluded in the burning, would have contained records of payments to the Abrigador Digger, Philip Coppeto the Connecticut Supply Go. and Frank J. (Burns) Santalucia, he said
 Defense counsel argued at length in opposition to Judge Inglis' ruling that O'Donnell showed hostility to the state. He is the first witness to be placed in that category.
 Additional and more bitter argu- ments developed when the defense charged that Alcorn was using the minutes of ODonnell's grand jury testimony as basis for examina- tions
 After claiming that he did not know how many trucks Coppeto hired out to the city in 1886 and 1887, O'Donnell was asked by AL corn if he had not on a previous occasion testified that the equip ment consisted of two trucks, a shovel and a roller.
 Jury Excused
 Before he could answer, defense counsel objected. causing Judge Inglis to excuse the jury. Finally Alcorn withdrew his question and stated that he would attempt to gain the information without ref erence to the grand jury minutes.
 Shortly thereafter, O'Donnell said that as far as he knew Coppeto had two trucks in service in 1887 and Santalucia had three trucks. In 1886, he said, as far as he knew Santalucia had three or four trucks working for the city and Coppeto had probably three or four or

was coming in from the City of Wa terbury for purported truck hire; as it went into the Connecticut Sup ply Company, went into the Water bury Trust Company where Olsen was vice-president, and through there, they were able, of course, to defraud the City of Waterbury. This is only one element to prove the entire, case.
 No Overt Acts
 Attorney Cassidy: It seems to me that the proof of the state should go farther back than that. There are no overt acts that the Conn. Supply Co, was formed by Olsen, Leary and Fruin in order to cheat and defraud the City of Water bury. There isn't any overt act alleged at all. It seems to me that evidence to prove what MT. AL corn has stated is inadrnjssible un- der this information. Olsen was the vice president of the Waterbury Trust Co.,; the Waterbury Trust Go. was the registrar of the Steam Ster- ilizer company. Through them stock was transferred. Now, MT. Alcorn has stated letter from Olsen. I haven't seen the letter, but will wager that it is 8 letter written by the bank by Olsen as representative of the bank. It is an innocent act and from that act, 1t can't be in- ferred that he is conspirator.
 Judge Inglis: Well, simply because this particular transaction Is not set out in detail, I don't think 1t makes it inadmissible. It seems to me that it is purely ques- ton as to whether this line of evil dence is too remote and, of course, if MT. Alcorn succeeds in carrying it through as he indicates, it does substantially bring the evidence to a place where the jury may reasonably infer that money went from the treasury of the city of Waterbury to the Conn. Supply Co.,, that money went through the brokers, through the purchase of stock which ulti- mately landed in the possession of MT. Leary. AS I say, if that is car ried through, it really isn't remote; 1t is very pertinent to the case. I will bear in mind what was said in the argument and try to rule on these questions as they come alone.
