"A. @. H. Holding Triple Installation Ceremonies Her
Mrs. ChaseWo Woodhouse Appointed Chairman
WOmen's College President to Assist Presidents
 Birthday Ball Committee

Women's Professional Relations at Connecticut College, Mrs. Wood- house also is state chairman of Government of Economic Welfare of the Connecticut League of Wo- men Voters, and is active in numer- ous other organizations of state and national importance.
 Fellowship Chairman
 Mrs. Woodhouse is State Fellow ship Chairman for the American Association of University Women, Chairman of the International Committee of the Federation of AL trusa Clubs and is president of the New London Federation of Demo- cratic Worens Clubs. A graduate of McGill University, Mrs. Wood house, prior to coming to New Lon don six years ago, taught at Smith College, Northampton, Mass.
 In accepting the appointment to lead the Women's Division, Mrs. Woodhouse, in a letter to MT. Smith said: Let us give all we can in money, energy and thought to help the National Foundation for 1n- fantile Paralysis make this dread disease as much of thing of the past as the Black Plague of our his- tory books. The achievement of the goal means so little from each of us If we all work together"
 with cooperation" Mrs. Wood- house urged, i've can meet with only one end in the work - Suc- cessl"
 Mrs. Woodhouse, who has made study of the work of the National Foundation said, 1t has passed the experimental stage. No woman in- terested in the welfare of the young people of her community can fail to be interested in It's work.
 "Its funds are used for direct re- lief to individual victims of the dis ease," Mrs. Woodhouse continued, "A brace may mean ability to re- turn to @ school; @ respirator may save @ life"
 Forming Committee
 But" the letter of Mrs. Wood- house concluded, there is more than this direct relief work, import ant as 1t Is. Institutions like Yale University School of Medicine are being enabled from grants from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to carry on fundamental research which will eventually mean the reduction and perhaps almost the elimination of this scourge."
 Within the next few days, Mrs, Woodhouse told State Chairman Smith, the committee of women for the state will be announced. This group, in addition to assisting the various local and county chairmeii, will carry on fund.raising activities apart from the regularly established city and town committees.

PHILLIPS APPEAL
 FILED YESTERDAY
Wooster School Student Claims Compensation
 Finding in Error

Charles Phillips, son of MT. and Mrs. Francis Phillips of Hewlett street, Q student ct Wooster school in Danbury, yesterday afternoon filed reasons for his appeal from Q compensation finding handed down in Compensation court here by Commissioner James M. Lynch recently. The appeal reasons were filed in Bridgeport.
 Commissioner Lynch ruled that as the youth sustained 0 hernia while clearing snow from hoskey rink at school the relationship of em- ployer and employe did not exist and no recovery could be made un- der the compensation law. Attorney Warren Upson, counsel for Phillips, claims the commissioner erred in this finding and that the school accrued financial benefits from the work of his client.

CITY HALL
 OFFICE CHANGES
Larger Quarters Needed for Tax Collector; Rec.
 concentrations Made

Changes of location for several city hall offices are planned by Mayor Vincent A. scully, the purpose being to centralize functions of depart ments whose quarters arc now scat tered about the building. Possible changes are now being studied by the mayor, and 1t will probably be at least several weeks before he makes any specific recommendations.
 Griffenhagen Sy Associates, for mer Mayor Patrick M. Perriello and former Tax Collector William A. En- his have all recommended that all functions of the tax collection de- partment be handled from one large office. Various units of the tax office are now in several places in the building.
 Purchasing Director Martin J. Sweeney has opened his office in the room once used as committee room for the board of aldermen, on the second floor of the city hall. Bud get Director Thoryald E. Olsen has been unable to find separate quar- ters, andis using space in the con- troller's office.
 It is probable that the office of the assessors, now at the northeast cor ner of the first floor, will be trans ferred, and that office given to the tax collector. There is possibility that the probate court may be moved, but the mayor is understood to oppose this plan.
 A general re-shufiiling may be necessary to allow sufficient room for the tax office on the first floor The park department office may bt moved from its present location tc the adjoining smaller quarters for merly used by the personal tax col lector.

The other day we heard a poll
tician discussing an airplane trip
which he took during the cam
paign. Some one asked him if he
was nervous.
He replied, well l was not ex-
actly nervous, but I'll admit I
was glad I did not have to get out
on the back platform and make a
speech.
In case like this it would seem
that contrary to a proverb stated
by Professor G. M. Dickson, in his
new book, ''Fireside Philosophy,
that platforms are made to lie on,
or at least to recline on, rather
than to stand on. Those who have
not read Mr.. Dickson's book have
a real treat in store for them. It
is a book that one will not only
want to read, but re-read.
All Bowled Over!
Ii you don't know how that
feels ask Levern Johnson, Doc
Jack Hunter or Dean Mcmillan.
They not only tried out Mr.. Dog
gets fine new bowling alley, but
they were so delighted with it
that they almost forgot to stop.
All this activity, as you might
imagine, resulted in the increased
sale of liniment and rubbing al
cohol. Bowling is a splendid ex-
ercise, but those unaccustomed to
it feel less results by taking it in
small doses, in the beginning.
