CHILD RETURNED
 GRANDMOTHER
Judge Munger Reluctant to Rule on Separation;
 Cruelty Alleged

In her foster home she had plenty to eat, she found playmates and she had nice new clothes. But little Dorothy Goux, Il, wanted to go back to live with her grandmother, part ly so that she "could see grand father, too," she told Judge Robert L. Munger yesterday in superior court.
 Her grandmother, Mrs. Mary Goux, frail woman who wept when past events were described to the court, was accused of cruelty to Dor othy and question was raised as to her suitability as the child's guard ian.
 Judge Munger took jurisdiction in the case from the city court where welfare authorities had stepped in to provide Dorothy with other liv- ing quarters. He said that he would discharge Mrs. Goux but that the matter of the child's permanent care should be taken into consideration by some agency in the event the re- turn of Dorothy to her grandmother proved other than constructive. When the small girl in her new Easter hat took the stand yester- day she was not sworn, like a reg ular witness. Instead, the judge, As- sistant States Attorney Walter w. Smith and Mrs. Goux'S lawyer, A. Henry Weisman, questioned the child informally about how she felt in the matter of returning to her grandmother or living at the foster home provided by the probation de- partment of city court.
 Dorothy recited 8 couple of acts of cruelty by her grandmother, blows by shoe and a strap; told of sleeping on the floor occasionally. But she admitted that she loved her grandmother, that she always had plenty to eat, attended school and church.
 Mrs. Goux sobbed on the stand when she told the story of what Dorothy meant to her, how she had cared for the child when the small girls home had been disrupted some years ago.
 The judge was reluctant to take jurisdiction in the matter so far as permanent order for the childs custody was concerned and Dorothy is on sort of trial stay at the Riverside street home of her grand mother. ..

City Engineers Report on Sewer Costs Called Camou fIage' By Senator Culhane- Meeting on Assess
 ment Arranged for Coming Week

over to the water department by the city engineering department.
 A campaign to collect back taxes and assessments met the boards favor. Tax Collector William A. En- his said that back payments are coming in fairly well.
 Unfair, Unwise"
 Commissioner Goss described Sen- ator Culhane's sewer assessment bill as unfair and unwise" and said that there was a strong doubt of its legality. The bill, he said, would jeopardize the city's resources, and nothing could prevent the legisla- ture from passing other acts upset ting the whole city budget.
 T don't think the bill is going to pass anyway" said Controller Rowland,
 A $2,228 deficit in the Washington Park Community house fund was reported. The municipal golf course reported deficit of $1 STA while the Hamilton park pavilion reported 8 balance of $1,271.

The board of finance yesterday, in reply to an inquiry from the board of aldermen, declared that all city appropriations for the year are sufficient, as far as can be ascer- tained now, with the exception of those for the welfare department and for relief purposes. Controller Sherwood Rowland told the board that this was the case, and Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice was instructed to notify the aldermen to that effect.
 The aldermen, in their letter, had asked, if such wages in some items were expected, what steps were being taken to effect economies that would make unnecessary deficit at the end of the year.
 Goss' Suggestion
 The finance commissioners, on recommendation of Commissioner John H. Goss, instructed the clerk to notify all department heads to study their needs for two months ahead and to request any transfers of funds in sufficient time. This &C., tion was taken after Miss Grace White, welfare department super visor, requested $10,000 for fuel and $250 for household equipment. Ap- propriations fixed at the start of the year have been almost entirely used up, she said. The board refused to grant the sums requested, alloting only 5000 for fuel and $50 for household equipment.
 The board engaged in lengthy discussion over a report from City Engineer Charles A. Root and the board of works that a 30-foot wall on city property on Cloves terrace is crumbling and constitutes hazard to residents of dwelling at 386 Willow street. The sum of $6,500 to erect a new wall was asked. The board voted the sum of $500 to repair the wall temporarily, and recommended that the street de- partment build a new wall.
 The board voted to meet next week with Senator George T. Cul- hane for further discussion of his sewer assessment bill, which would givo property owners year to pay assessments and grant them pro- portional reductions in the amount of WPA help given the city on sewer construction.
 Compromise Plan
 A compromise has been suggested which would give property owners l50 days to make payments, and al- low them to make the payments in two installments.
 Senator Culhane, in letter to the board, said that he still had not been given figures showing actual costs to the city for sewer work, and claimed that an account of costs given by the city engineers office was "a camouf1age."
 There was a brief discussion of possible pay cuts or economies that would prevent any budget deficit but no action was taken.
 A request by the fire board for the expenditure of $50 for boat to be used in emergency work was ap- proved.
 Seeks Opinion
 Controller Rowland announced that he had asked Corporation Counsel Charles S. O'Connor for ruling on payment of wages to Luke Bowling, caretaker at the isolation hospital. Though the board voted last week to have Bowling paid from the health department budget, the controller has refused to do so, and the city employe has not received any wages for nine weeks. The con- troller claims that no salary item for Bowling was set, and holds that any payment to him would be il- legal.
 The controller recommended that the Shepaug reservoir be turned

How to be an unpopular bridge partner might be the title of this little drama, with South as the villain who stubbornly overbids his hand-ignores his partners sign- off.
 North correctly opens the bidding with l heart. South bids spade. With West "innocently" passing, North goes to hearts and South rather boldly bids 2 no trump. North foreseeing trouble, now signs off with 3 hearts. But South, in a burst of rashness, bids 3 notrump. West doubles, the rest pass.
 South next proceeds to play al- most as badly as he bid. West leads his fourth-best club and South takes the trick with his Jack. Then instead of trying to set up his sure diamond tricks, he plays low heart, illnesses the 10-and East's Queen wins. East returns a club and West runs club tricks with South making foolish discards.

 and serum inoculat!ons of all kinds are merely a racket to put money into the hands of laboratories, drug stores and doctors.
 That, I think, we must discount at once, because once epidemics got a start, the big profit would come from the medicines sold to relieve them. Actually, keeping down such things is losing game for the commercial dealers and doc- tors. r, ..
 If we were to put stop to vac- cination, and 6 few cases came across our borders, in a month a hundred cases would be fighting for life. And 1t would spread, as it used to, like a prairie fire. don't like the idea, either, of introducing filth, as you call 1t, into the pure blood stream of a little boy or girl. But that filth gets ir9 its dirty work only in one spot. And that's better than wholsy body, and perhaps the loss of life.
 Formerly there were numerous tragedies in connection with vac- cination. But, nowadays, labora- tories turn out pretty pure stuff. AS for diphtheria preventive, and whooping cough shots and all the rest, they are optional witk the par ent.
 I am not urging you to try them, but I wish I had had the chance to use every one of them before my children had contact with the killers. I would have lost one child without diphtheria anti-toxin. And I myself would most certainly not be writing this now, if diphtheria anti-toxin had not saved my life.

ing a homemaker could be less than cross between a martyr and g slave-and the fur flies.
 What makes the home-woman 50 sensitive? Why is she always on the defensive?
 Probably because she begins to justify her existence the minute 8 man starts footing her bills. She is afraid that if she ever breaks down and says, Honey, this job is snap-the easiest one I ever had" her husband won't fully appreciate her. BELIEVES OWN
 PROPAGANDA
 So she builds up the job of home- making to him in such a thorough fashion that she soon begins to be- lieve the propaganda herself. Ma turally, she resents 1t the minute she is challenged.
 Then, too, there is a bit of fear in her attitude. She would like for her husband to see and hear noth- ing but eulogies of wives and moth- CTS.
 And, of course, having all her eggs in one basket as she does, is bound to make her wary and touchy.
