TWO BROTHERS HELD HERE IN
 STABBINC CASE
Father Posts Bonds for Appearance in Court;
 Victim Recovering

Salvatore Apicello, 29, of l73 Baldwin Street, and his brother, Nicholas, 25, of 19 Ridge Street, arrested last night on charges of assault with intent to kill. were granted a continuance until tomorrow by Judge Edward MaScolo and placed under bonds of $1 800 each in City Court this morning.
 Michael Apicello, father of the accused, furnished the bonds. The continuance was granted on motion of Prosecutor Frank Healey when Maurice Gheghan, Identification witness, failed to appear in court.
 Weapon Used
 Lieutenant Ernest Pakul and Off, ficer Joseph Cavanaugh of the vice squad, and Motor Patrolman Joseph Phelan, arresting officers, report that the brothers attacked Angelo Capaldo, 42, of 1440 North Main street, and slashed him with sharp weapon, believed to have been a razor. Police said the slashing took place near North Main and Kings bury streets and that one of the men held Capaldo while the other slashed him.
 Blk sding badly from deep gash across his cheek and neck, Capaldo staggered into the office of Dr. Thomas Cottiero at q Cooke street at about o'clock last night. The wound required IS stitches to close. Dr. Cottiero notified police and Officer Phelan investigated.
 Capaldo told police he believed his asailants wye the Apicello broth- CTS, and Lieutenant Pakul and Off, Ger Cavanaugh brought them in to headquarters later with 8 third brother, Anthony Apicello.
 Under questioning the men denied they knew anything about the knif- ing. Anthony Apicello, who firmly denied knowing anything about the slashing, was freed by police, when the victim, Capaldo, identified the other two brothers as his assail- ants. Police found bloodstains on their clothes, which the men ap- parently had attempted to wipe off.
 In court today Attorney William Lawlor, representing the accused, asked for a lighter bond. Judge A1ascolo, however, said the charge of assault with attempt to kill ne- cesNtated the high bond. It was placed at first to $5 1000 for both men, but later lowered to $1 800 each.

1939 To Witness
 Big Increase In Mortality Rate

Health conditions slightly less favorable than those that pre- vailed throughout the country in the banner year of 1888 are an- ticipated for 1899, according to the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. They foresee a rise in the death rate among the company's millions of industrial policy y-holders, despite the fact that up to the end of February of this year the death rate was level with the all-time low record established in the Jan-N uaryFebruary period of 1888. They explain that during the first three weeks of March the insurance company paid nearly 1,50O more death claims than in the corre- spending weeks of 1888. Moreover, for the first nine weeks of 1889, the Bureau of the Census report ed 4,650 more deaths in 88 major cities than there were during the same period of 1888.
 "All this points, not by any means to an unfavorable health situation" the statisticians say, "but to the strong probability that 1889 will not equal the unprece- dented record of 1888 for low mor- tality."
 Favorable health developments during the first two months of this year, as compared with the corre- spending period of 1888, include declines in the death rates for in- fiuenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis, chronic nephritis, accidents Gall forms), and automobile fatalities.
 Decided increases in mortality were reported from cancer, heart disease, and coronary artery dis eases, while smaller rises occurred in mortality from diabetes and cerebral hemorrhage.

Club has begun a really worthwhile
project, one which can readily be
appreciated by children whose sum-
mer days began to become listless
after the wearing-off of the first
thrills of the ending of school. and
by mothers who find themselves bur-
dened by having their children
around the home on mornings when
they themselves are busy. In the
Rotary's selection of a director. it
has chosen wisely in the competent
Mr.. Herbert L. Elliott, whose author
ity and understanding and sympathy
is well-known to the children with
whom he will associate. The City Of
Milford is indeed fortunate to nave
as active and understanding an Or
ganization as this has surely proven
itself to be.

THE SWEET GIRL GRADUATE

The month of June brings TO the
front of the picture that charming
personality known as the Sweet
girl graduate" When young wo-
man graduates from a school or col
lege. the excitement of this thrilling
moment gives her a marvellous
charm.
As she goes out from an educa-
tional institution to some wider ex-
perience. life is all opening up he
fore her. She stands before an open
door which seems the way to new
thrills and satisfactions. She is full
of enthusiasm and happiness. and
her joy shines in her eyes and pours
out in sunny smile.
Sophistication is a quality which
many young people desire. 1t is not
so winsome as the enthusiasm which
young woman feels when she is
granted her scholastic honor. and
starts out on the new experiences Of
mature life.

MENTAL INDOLENCE

The baccalaureate preacher at one
OF our best colleges spoke about the
dangers of mental laziness. Millions
of people need to heed that warning.
Many folks are said to be born
tired" and a good many who can do
a pretty good days work with their
hands. become tired Immediately if
asked to do any real thinking. A
good many seem to feel it is too hard
work to do such thinking, particu
larly as someone else is always ready
to do it for them. When someone
else does their thinking for them, he
may have some ulterior purpose
which he is trying to put over.
1t has often happened that when
serious mistakes were made in the
government. the people who did the
governing were not TO blame. They
were trying to do the best they
could. The people really to blame
were probably those back home who
failed to choose the right ones to
govern them. Many people regard it
as too hard work to read about gov
ernment and politics, and find out
who is best qualified to hold public /
office.
Many persons fail to get any
where in their occupation, because
they consider it too hard work to
acquire the knowledge they need.
While successful people are reading
and studying. many more are loafing
around or spending time in foolish
ways What they need is to put
little pep into their thinkers, and
make it do some regular work.
Thinking ought not to be hard
work. The progress of people and
the world is fascinating story, once
you get interested in it. You can
read about it every day in the news
rapers. which tell why people go up
and some go down Reading about
their success or failure shows the
path by which people climb. Once
they get started climbing up the
path of thought. they say it is not
hard work. but one of the best forms
of fun.

- The National Democrats are hav-
ing just about as much division
and trouble amid their ranks as are
their Delaware brothers. In the ma
tion, Roosevelt and his bright boys
represent one line of thought and
action and are ready to destroy any
one else who stands in the path of
their so-called liberalism which
means they are liberal to themsel-
yes. Garner leads the Conservatives
or old line Southern Democrats;
Farley leads the Tammany Hall
practical politicians in the party
and every mans hand is against
each other and against the rest of
the party. In Delaware about the
same idea exists. Those who think
Roosevelt is going to run for third
term are for him and his New Deal
ers, especially if they have a job
with the Administration or think
they are going to get one. Those who
think Tunnel is the next United
States Senator are clamoring for
him; those who think none of the
Democrats in Delaware are going to
win are playing with the Republic
cans so that they can be appointed
on some board or commission where
one Democrat must be appointed. 1t
is all mixed up and il has not yet
been decided which brand of Demo-
