Attorney
The usual procedure is, first, to add
up the rows of figures farthest to the
right. Now, it is plain to even the lay
mans eye that four zeros are equal TO
nothing at all. SO we may ignore that
row altogether However, the figures IN
the second row from the right add up
to 25, and that brings us to very
tricky piece of business. The first
thing to do, under these conditions, IS
to write down the 5 neatly. with calm
determination, thus:
The in the IS must be disposed OF
by process called carrying, but TO
understand that, you must know solid
geometry; so just take my word tor It
that YOU should add 1t in with the
third row of figures. This row, with the
2lncluded, adds to9 1870 dismal num-
Der indeed! For the last twenty years
have made it a strict policy to AVOID
the number 9. 1t probably all stems
back to the summer of 1920, when l
played third base for the Germanlc-
Amer,kanisch Brewing Company Nine.
Whenever the team travelled out of
town for a game, 1t was a standing
rule that the last player INTO the hotel
room at night had to sleep on the
floor
OF course, realize that my aversion
to the figure 9 is not shared by the
nation as a whole, but I'm sure that
few would begrudge me the whlm OF
changing it to in this case. SO our
total so far stands at:
IS
The column farthest to the lett adds
up to l3 - and can get C.P.A. to
vouch for it, However. everyone knows
that l3 is fast becoming obsolete these
days. AS matter of fact, apartment
buildings and Office blocks don't even
have thirteenth floors any more But
Fields is nothing if not magnanlnous,
so let's throw in the 3, at least. Thus
our final total turns out to be:
$685.
OF course, | realize that it is not easy
for my dear pupils to understand, at
first glance, all the mammoth com
pllcatlons by which | arrived at this
interesting figure. However, the boys
down at the Internal Revenue office
have had long experience with my re-
markable mathematical proves. and
they will doubtless follow me IN short
order.
Well, we must be getting on to null
tlplicatiOn - an extremely important
subject. In fact, the government gives
prizes of $4O0- dollar exemptions for
multiplication. But pardon me. for
a moment - there goes the doorbell.
My little son Warner looking out the
window informs me: That man is

All, it's the Internal Revenue in
spector. How do you do. Inspector -.
You say they're asking for me down
at the Collector of Internal Revenues
office? Well, l suppose l can spare an
hour or so. if they're really in a bad
tangle . What's that? You say come
quietly? Why. Inspector. you cut me
to the core. (Oh. Mrs. Fields, don't

Much interest is being shown by members of the Waterbury Women'S Club in the lecture which will be given on Current Events by Miss Eu- nice Harriet Avery at the Women's Club on Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. With conditions through out the world in such 8 turbulent state, the facts which Miss Avery has gathered in her travels are now of utmost importance.
 In the preceding summers Miss Avery has driven the IA European frontiers that have held the head lines since September '39. Before that she had covered the Adriatic, and the eastern Mediterranean pat terms, South America, India, China, Japan, Africa, and Australia. Now our immediate problem is the calibre and safety of the North American civilization, so Miss Avery drove to Canada in August and to Washing ton in September.
 Among other things, in Canada, Miss Avery watched the much de- bated three day general registra- tion, Canadian reaction to the pact with the United States, and ships loading for convoy. She visited members of the general staff, inter viewed head mistreSSeS of evacuated English schools, swan at the Toron- to Yacht Club, had tea with the pres ident of Toronto University, talked with government advisers, with ad- miralS, kilties, new settlers, authors, politicians, editors, policemen with the French, the English, and the Canadian" Canadians as they call each other. She came back thrilled over the human personal story of Canada, and the core of vi- tality and integrity common to the two of us North American neighbors. Canada is grimly at war, but quite aside from that Canada is evolving, and her political, economic and so- cial pattern is fascinating.
 She has compared Washington to Canada and connected events and opinions of officials in this country with the existing conditions abroad and in all has compounded many theories which her Audience should be most anxious to hear.
 A lecture on the Lore and Humor of James Whitcomb Riley will be given by Hugh Shields on Tuesday, October 22nd at the women'S club. MT. Shields was born and brought up in Riley's own country, and is known as the man most capable of giving a Riley touch to the program. He is a Congregational minister, a former member of the Legislature, and an impersonator who has made hundreds of addresses at clubs and forums.
