Police Sirens
 Welcome Irish Consul To City

Considerable excitement was att tached to the journey from New York to Waterbury yesterday of Joseph Desmond Brennan, Irish vice-counsel at New York and principal speaker at the Irish American Social Club auxiliary dinner at The Elton last night.
 Through a misunderstanding of train schedules, MT. Brennan mis- sed the afternoon train. He started for Waterbury by taxicab, and got as far as Danbury when the cab developed motor trouble.
 MT. Brennan telephoned the local committee about his plight. Mayor Vincent A. Scully and the local police offered their aid, and state police began seeking the Vice-conSul.
 Meantime, the cab driver had made repairs and was able to pro- ceed toward Waterbury, while state police scurried about the highway.
 The cab broke down again near Lake Quassapaug, and there the troopers located MT. Brennan and brought him to Waterbury.
 MT. Brennan, quickly changing his clothes, was only few minutes behind schedule as he greeted the dinner guests.
 "It was rather fun," he said. though when I heard those police sirens I thought perhaps they were looking for one of your gang sterS,"

Children's Crusade
 Will Help Homeless
Rev. Dr. John C. Walker Appeals For Local Support During April -MOnsignOr Ryan On Award Jury

After all these long years we are to have another ChildrenS Crusade and this time it is for the homeless children of Europe and Asia, stated Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Second Congregational Church in a special children's story yester- day morning entitled, 'Children's | Crusade for Children
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 The idea came from little group of children in Vermont who lived in the town of Perkinsville. These children, none of them rich and all of them having plenty of things that they should like to buy with their money, gathered up five dol lars to give to Mrs. Dorothy Can- field Fisher, the noveslist, to help take care of the refugee children, the homeless children of Europe, some sixty of whom were given a vacation in Bennington County. Vermont, last summer.
 l Out of the story of this gift by the children ill Perkinsville has grown i the idea of a Children's Crusade for the thirty million school children of America.
 Now we hope that all the children in all the schools ill America will gather up their pennies between April p and 30 for the homeless children across the seas. The child- ren are asked to give as many pen nies as they are old. Some of the very poor children won't be able to give as many as five or ten or fif- teen pennies. Some of the children who come from very wealthy homes can give much more than penny year but we hope that all the child ren will give.
 Even little children have learned about war and its horrors to know the story of how mothers and child ren and old men and women are wounded and killed and driven from their homes even if they are no; soldiers. They may have read in the newspapers or their parents and teachers have told them how ill cer- l tain places in Finland more children died as a result of the war than soldiers. The children of America must know how hard life is for their homeless brothers and sisters across the seas, Chinese children, Spanish children, Czech children, Polish children, Finnish children, Austrian children, German children and even British children. Because the child- ren of America have so much and SC many of the children in other lands have so little--indeed thousands and millions Of them have nothing but rags to wear and scraps to eat--the children of America ought to bt happy to give their pennies or theil nickelS and their dimes to help anc serve their friends.
 When the money is gathered III it is to be divided up and sent tt the refugee children abroad with th' blessings and good wishes of th' children Of America. Mrs. Eleano Roosevelt; Monsignor Ryan, directo of the National Catholic Welfar Confer nee; Caroline Woodruff former president of the NEA; Will liam Allen White; and Superinten
 dent Charles B. Glenn, Birmingham

Beacon Falls, April IA foot bridge at the glen in the High Rock State park was torn away by high waters in the brook at the park yesterday. It is expected to be re- placed soon.
 The warm weather yesterday brought many visitors to the park and many, equipped with cameras, got fine shots of the combined beauties of winter and spring. The Naugatuck river was quite high yesterday, but had receded today.

they crossed the Ucayali and nosed down

Il can't blame you for wanting to know"
Tacks began cautiously.
1T is not wanting to know; it is that
must know" she countered.
LACKS MALONE had remembered those words.
He had repeated them at times and had asked
himself why they should have seemed terrible,
why Josefna's dignity and repression should
have frightened him more than tears or pas
sion. At the moment he told himself angrily
that the girl wasn't trying to sell him any
thing, that the uncertainty of Venon's fate
had driven her frantic - but the explanation
was inadequate. From the corner of his eye
he could see Captain Ybarra and Josefna's
parents chatting with affected casualness, but

as god war chief who led the tribe to vic

stories to their source. They sprang like mists
from the mysterious jungles. One followed
upon another and each was news and, for the
Sunday sections, inspiration for stories of
lonely, crippled white man isolated among
savages and staring at the sky which had
known no wings save those of his Cyrfalcon.
No wings until Great Basin Air Transport,
surveying routes in South America, sent the
BT4 over the same course to determine the
practically of direct line from Chile, Peru,
and Bolivia to the northeastern coast
1t was not stunt, as Vernon's flight had
been. Answers to many questions could be
obtained by hop over the jungles, and maps
could be made of areas of which no accurate
maps existed Tacks Malone would be at the
controls, Lance Riker would handle naviga-
ton and communication, and Martinez would
SKETCH make notes and check the operation
of the big vertical camera which every fifteen
seconds automatically photographed the ter
rain.
Martinez had been borrowed from an
engineering firm in Peru and was rather a
find. He was experienced in aerial photography
and cartography: he spoke Spanish, of course,
as well as fluent English, and had fair COM
mand of Portuguese.
No recklessness or haste, but the very
care with which the flight was planned made
its own publicity. Preliminary accounts were
published everywhere, and one of them
brought from Santiago to Lima the girl whom
Dick Vernon had married three months before
he took off on his last fight. Josefina Maria
Gonzales Vernon was justification of Chile's
claim that her daughters are the most beau

Brazil can dispute. The Chilean captain,
Ybarra had made the introduction - then

beyond earshot.

'Now, am nj viuda nj esbosa - neither the
widow nor the wife, you would say. Look at
me - at these clothes!'
Tacks had looked, very willingly. Josefina

to foot, but she was nineteen years DID, slender
and lissome, and her eyes were deep, living

make your old curtains look bit
detected, like those shown here
at the right, don't be discouraged.
The window at the left uses those
same curtains with a dash of
glamour added. This economy
trick saved a certain young ma
iron enough money to buy a num-
Der of smart new accessories for
her living room.
She discovered that a diagonal
dart, which took up the curtains
at the back, threw more fullness
to the front, thus giving the new
high drape smart line. Tie

tones, lined with plain plum col
ored chintz. One yard of each
kind of chintz was required for
