The cubicle which Y entered at
precisely onc-fiftccn that morning
looked exactly like all the other

it had one very essential differ

She shrugged.

Not yet. But l can see tnat he

Would you mind if I ask you
how you would accomplish this?"
She blushed again.
Il suppose I'd better tell you.
The man is inordinately jealous,

Washington. Sept. 25.-RadiO all
dcnceS don't get the full beauty Of
some Of the political debates were
having in connection with the pend
ing presidential campaign. Plenty
of the really Snappy comment IN
these occasions comes, not from the
Official speakers. but from the crowds
physically present in the various
I%u,dituritmS or outdoor arenas where
the events are pulled Off, and the
numerous intersections are from
Suurccs too distant from the mike to
be caught by liStcncrs-in at dis
. lance.
We recently had such an affair in
! washington between Interior Sec
Irctary Harold l.. Ickes and Senator
Styles Bridges Of New Hampshire,
and published accounts of it didn't
begin to do the performance Justice.
IN the first place, il wasn't prop
crfy a debate. That is 10 say, lckcS
and Bridges didn't talk back and
forth. Each had Il long speech pre-
pared in advance. There was no cH-
change Of views. They simply were
two independent speeches. They
were. respectively, fully Vltupcra"-
tive enough, but there wasn't much
of a discussion until after the two
formal addresses were concluded anc;
questions were invited from the gang
in the background.
Bridges had referred to the RooSc-
welt regime as a candy stick gov-
eminent" Ickes, somewhat belated-
ly, had rejoined that d candy stick
was better than an all day sucker.
"Yah." yoWIed chap in the reai
of the hall. AN all day sucker. We
have been tWO-tcrm suckers. Arc
We going to be thrcc-term suckers?

DO something he is ashamed Of
Trent, watching him closely, was
almost satisfied.

Just what were these gadgets

what vas it he cluckcd overheard

Luckily Gun was prepared for

Gun saw, with satisfaction and
disgust, how Trent's eyes glis-
tened at this.

that owned a gadget like that
would come pretty near to being
master Of the air!"
Gun nodded.
Pretty veil, I should say"
Trent made a gesture of deci-
sion.
"All right, Gunston-Ill play
ball with you. But you'd better
play fair, or by heck :"
The gesture with which he fin
ished his sentence was significant.
oh, I'll play fair, all right. Now,
what about that meal?"
It was not so difficult to simu-
late eagcTness about that.
Without q word Trent pressed a
bell button on his desk. After a
moment there came a tap on the
door and it opened to reveal Sam
DO, whose ebony face split itself
into an expansive, ivory-trimmed
smile at sight Of Gun.
Get some food Cor this gentle
man. Trent ordered. Something
pretty isht-soup, and then some
sort Of an omclette. And hurry
with it,
Sambo made a gesture indicat-
ing that he understood, and van
ished. Guns eyes met Trent's.
Not so deaf, after ALL" he COM
nented dryly.
Trent smiled.
The dumbness is genuine
enough. Now, if you want a wash,
come this way"
AS Gun followed the other to a
small but adequate bathroom he
said:
I'D give something for a shave.
But 1 suppose I'd better not have
one, or Hazeldeane will suspect
something. Well, I'll do my best
with hot water and soap"
Gun reveled in the luxury of that
bath. He would have liked to spend
more time over it, knowing that
when he would get his next was a
matter that lay on the knees of
the gods. But time was limited.
Nor did he waste any over his
meal, which he thought was enc of
the most delicious he had ever
tasted. For as he ate Trent
watched him with tired eyes, and
twice, between his yaWns, COM
mcnted on how amazingly sleepy
he felt. The pellet was working,
and Cua vas anxious lest the other
should suspect anything.
The room had two beds in it, and
Trent pointed to one Of them. The
other, his own, was close by the
door.

was the embarkation point for
men from far places who looked
with tolerant scorn on the New
York skyline. Charley read an edi-
torial about one contingent in the
early months of the war, about
fellows who came silently and
went away in a businesslike man
ner as BELTS fighting men. That
editorial in the Times told of the
sailing of the regulars and tt
mentioned the smooth efficiency
of the columns and the absence of
next of kim to see them off.
The last line Of that copy stuck in
Charley's mind; it was. but there
were roses in their rifles just the
same" Sometimes, when Charley
is alone and there's no sound on
the river except the lonely laugh
of the looms, he flips the leaves OF
his scrap book to that faded clip
ping and he wonders. how many
of them came back?
Well, a lot of them came back,
and a lot more didn't. Some that
did came back on StretcherS.
Others came home with a strange
look in their eyes, such as one
sometimes sees in the eyes of men
who have dared. greatly, and who
weighed not the cost of daring.
Charley saw these Homecoming
troops, too, and then he turned IN
his ticket and came up here to
fish on the Housatonic.
Charley the Fisherman has
black dog and a pigeon for pals.
The dog never goes anywhere
alone; the pigeon always goes along
too, like a harbOr tug escOrting
a transport. That pigeon knows
more than most men, and the dog
knows twice as much. They're
great pets, those two.
Carp fishing is vocation that
doesn't exactly come in the pluto
crat class. Shortly after the war,
carp sold for 18 cents a pound;
now they bring only four cents.
Charley keeps after them, high
prices or low, because that dog
and the pigeon have to eat, and
they look to Charley for their
rations. This year, the run Is late,
the water is high and cold, but
Charley will make out" You

PASSOVER FEAST
TO Be OBSERVED
Special Services Planned
In Local SynagOgues
Starting Next Monday

Memories of freedom won after
years of slavery in Egypt will bring
hope to Jews throughout the world
as they recite the Seder Service
which will usher in the holiday of
the Passover on the evening of
April %.
Passover, which commentaries
the safe passage of the Jews over
the Red Sea and their entrance
into the Promised Land, is the old
est holiday in the Jewish calendar.
Originating as spring festival it
developed a religious significance
during the days of the Temple, and
has retained it to this day.
Historically a seven-day festival,
marking the sowing of the harvest,
Passover is observed for eight days
by Orthodox and Conservative Jews
due to former uncertainty in calen-
dar calculations. Reform Jews cele-
brate the holiday for seven days.
Synagogue services are held on the
first and seventh days of Passover
which are observed as holidays.
Orthodox and Conservative Jews
have Synagogue services also on
the second and eighth days.
The eating of unleayened bread,
or Matsos, is connected with the
festival. This is q symbol of the
unleayened bread which the Jews
ate while fleeing from Egypt. Ac-
cording to tradition there was no
time to wait for the bread-dough
to rise.
AS one of the great pilgrim festi-
walls, Passover was observed In the
Temple in Jerusalem by people who
came from all parts Of Palestine to
share in the holiday which marked
the sowing of the crop. Since the
fall of the Temple, Passover has be-
come home and Synagogue festi-
val.
At the home service which is
known as the Seder, and which is
rich in symbols, the story OF the
deliverance from slavery under the
leadership of Moses, is read each
year. The ritual, or Haggadah, from
which the service is read has been
copiously illustrated. An outStand-
ing collection of HaggadahS is a
part of the British Museum COL
lection.

Senatorial boom now underway.
Said Talbot: 81 won't consider
the nomination at all. And I
sincerely doubt if would be in a
receptive mood to run for any
position other than the one I now
hold"
A promiennt Republican source
who refused to be quoted said
this week that, in his mind, the
"idear' candidate the party could
nominate for the u. S. Senator
is Lieutenant Governor James L.
McCOnaughy, MiddletOwn, Pres
ident of Wesleyan University.
But he won't take it," he la
mented. Hes got good life job
at the college, and suppose he'd
be smart in not giving it up to
gamble OH the SenatOrship. You
couldn't find a man better quail
flied than McConaughy for the
nomination.
1t was understood the Wesley
an trustees oppose McCOnal&hy's
full time entrance into pOHics,
and would give him an either
o. else" choice if he sought the
gubern ltorial or senatorial NOM
nation.
Some quarters report that State
Tax Commissioner Charles j. Nc
Laughlin is an "active" candidate
for the vacant federal judgeship.
There is no sign of an imminent
appointment by Washington.
The state budget division is
hard at work recognizing and
reclassifying the state insurance
department, and one of the duties
it seeks to eliminate is the filing
and registration by the division
of all insurance policies issued in
Connecticut. The budget unit be-
lieves money can be saved by do
ing away with thi: registration,
for which it can see no need.
The Young Democrats of Con-
necticut tackle the problems of
the state and national campaigns
at their state convention Friday

will be at New Haven, and will
be climaxed by the Jefferson Day
speech of President Roosevelt, to
be broadcast from Washington.
The main items of the conVen-
ton were agreed upon last Feb
ruary. TIL executive committee
met at Meriden and gave unani-
nous Endorsement to the Roose-
welt policies and a third term for
president, if he chooses to run or
