The coroner states that he finds
that Raymond Connell was the
driver of the car, although he was
thrown from the, right side Of the
machine, and dragged alongside the
right side of the car and against a
wall.

He states that testimony given
him alleges that william Stein, of

Connell, and Joseph F. Burkowski,
of % City Hill street, Union City.

MIR. Sombothy, Joseph BurkoH-
ski, and William Stein," the coroner
points out, were the only witnesses
to the accident"
1.-THE two latter were the only
witnesses to the occurrences in the
Burkowski car. Both Stein and Bur-
kowski have testified that Council
was driving, Stein sitting on his
right in the front seat and Bur-
kowski alone in the back seat.
Neither has given any testimony
that would indicate that Council
fell across Stein and out Of the
right-hand door. Neither has CIV

Committees have been selected to
complete arrangements for the
fourth annual bazaar to be held I'M

'ELM CITY COPS
EXPECTED HERE
Interested In Arrest of
John jenkins, "TOy
Gun" Principal

John jenkins, 20, of 80 Bishop
street, a Negro arrested Monday
night on charges of breach of the
peace after he allegedly staged a
hold-up with a cap pistol, was
granted a one day continuance in
city court today.
Prosecuting Attorney William K.
Lawlor said New Haven police are
interested in jenkins and will be
here tomorrow to prefer other
charges.
jenkins pulled a "quick-change
act in a Bank street candy store
Monday afternoon when he de-
manded money from a customer
and, obtaining only a token, ordered
the proprietor to change same into
cash.
The butt of his toy gun peeked
suggestively out of a pocket as the
candyman readily changed the
token.

club members.
Threats of taking the action of
the registrar to the courts were
made. Club members criticized the
party leadership, hit at the party
rules as being unfair, and urged
changes in the town committee.
False Says Faller
Mr.. Faller said today that the
charges were entirely false. The law
requires that each applicant appear
in person and fill out his enroll
ment card, he said. Some of those
coming to his Office we're unable to
do this, he said.
Mr.. Faller stated also that the
law requires that a period of six
months elapse before person regis
tered in one party can have his
Kane transferred to the rolls of an
other party. This causes delay in
many cases, he said.

by the clothes moth is from the
larvae, fresh Matched from eggs.
The flying moth is always male so
cannot lay any eggs.
The female has extremely small
wings and practically always uses
her feet as a mode of locomotlon.
She is also heavily weighted with
eggs, which prevents her aviation
impulses from being carried out: IT
NAV be said that killing the flying
moth is a method of moth birth
control, but it is sad to relate that
the female is not homogeneous and
can find husband nearly any place.
Males are in excess in the moth
population, being IS per cent.
It's Life Cycle
The life cycle of the moth is like
all insects-frst the egg, then the
larva or maggot, then the pupa, and
finally the mature adult. The fe-
male, as soon as she reaches ma
turity, lays eggs for from two to "a
days. She prefers to lay them in
strands of wool or hair. A virlle
female lays between 40 and ~
eggs (this estimate from Major
2. E. Austen and A. W. McKenny
Hughes, British Museum of Natu-
raj History. The eggs hatch in
from eight to 10 days.
The larva begins to feed as soon
as it is Matched. Its skin is trans
lucent, so it takes on the color of
whatever it feeds on. 1t does not
show white against black. 1t spins
a fine veil over itself, however, and
it is this veil which the housewife
sees when she opens a trunk or
closet.
Contrary to popular belief,
the larva will eat wool or fur and
not necessarily food remnants on
clothes.
Since the larvae can survive Tor
a year or more in state of hlber-

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

ROMANY'S hardest task was
getting up in the morning. But she
forced herself out of bed at six the
next day to make certain she would
be in the studio at Interstate be-
fore eight. She would have been
there just as cheerfully at five. Her
first dramatic part. Dreams coming
true at last!
She was surprised to find Brent
waiting in the hall near Studio ).
He grinned, taking her hand.

Myra Noyes came around the

realized with chagrin that she and
Rrent were still holding hands
Myra's eyes narrowed.
"Well!" Her little mouth hard
ened and curled sarcastically. You
two must have spent the night to-

different to answer her back"
"Thatll burn her to a crisp"
Brent smiled, patting her on the
shoulder. Heads up now, beauti-
full"
Neither Myra nor Trotter was
unaware of the long pause in the
corridor. Brent opened the door and

as regal as a princess in Aunt Cis-

when Trotter raises his hand
after my announcement, begin
yours" Brent instructed Romany.
Brent was saying:
and now we bring you Mrs.
James Brown of Duville, Illinois,
an enthusiastic user of Mrs.
Laurers Soap Flakes. She says:
Trotted signaled and Romany be-
gan in her most beautifully modu-
lated voice. After a few words, the
director broke in from the control
room:
Just a minute, Miss Halle. Can
you make your voice sound as If
you WE'RE Mrs. Brown? Just an
other little housewife looking for
ward to washday and those lovely
soap flakes. Try, won't you?"
Romany felt weak in the knees.
All the rest of the cast had arrived,
and Myra was looking up from her
script, smiling triumphantly.
OutWardly cool, but inwardly
feeling as though her blood had
turned to water, Romany struggled
with her few words for fifteen min
utes before she read them as Trot-
ter thought they should be read.
Finally he grinned:
"Okay, kitchen wench. That
does it."
Myra was next. At the micro
phone she said furiously:
DO I have to sit here all morn
ing while amateurs learn to read
lines? This is going to be just too
ducky."
Trotter was small, and the best
natured director at Interstate, but
he would not stand for imperti-
nence. He answered her coldly:
Up erha APPS we should have
switched parts. I'm sure Miss Halle
would have no difficulty reading
yours. You've been in radio long
enough to know that it's harder to
read commercials than anything
else. Now, let's proceed, and if any,
one has any complaints to make
about the way run things they had
better not make them aloud"
Myra paled. Her hands trembled,
holding the script. Brent smiled to
himself, and Romany felt much bet
ter. The rest of the cast had aban-
boned the study of their own
scripts to watch the drama. There
wasn't a person in the room who
wasn't in sympathy with Romany,
and delighted that for once Myra
had been put in her place. And they
were all curious as to who the love-
ly newcomer might be.
During the broadcast Ronnany
read the announcement as she had
been directed. She looked up at the
end, and Trotter nodded encourage
ment. Later, when she apologized
for her slowness during rehearsals,
he smiled, shaking hands:
Think nothing of it. I'll throw az
many commercials your way as I
can until find a part or two you
can do"
Wishing openly to punish Myra
for her childishness, Brent took
Romany downstairs to breakfast.

and 1 have just had ore of our lit
tie tiffs."
The director pursed his lips.
"Oh, get it." he grinned. "Well,
I'll have to admit she wouldn't be
human if she could stand this COM
petition without struggle"
Romany's sun-tanned cheeks
colored, but she maintained a dig
nified silence.
You guessed it," Brent said
shortly. But she's going a little
too far. Tripping over her tongue"
Hal Trotter decided it was best
to say no more. Obviously, Miss
Halle was embarrassed, and too
much of a lady to comment. He
handed Romany script.
Have you ever read a CONNER
cial? ?" he asked then.
"A-commercial announcements"
Romany's face fell. "N-no, l
haven't"
Nelson, sensing her disappoint-
mcnL and shock, smiled encourage
mcnt.
Good way to cut your eye teeth.
Eighteen bucks for about fifty
words. Not bad"
"I-Ill try to do it. Romany
tried to hide her confusion.
But CHANGING at the announce
mcnt she felt a sinking sensation
in the pit of her stomach. A hard
working scribe in the continuity de-
partment had written passionately
OF his product. Romany read SLOW
ly, under her breath:
when 1 found Mrs. LaurePs
Soap Flakes, it was like pennies
from heaven. Believe you me, when
my clothes hang on the line over
the cool wet grass I'm proud as a
peacock. always hope the neigh
bors are looking at my snow white
pillow slips, sheets and towels. Mrs.
Laurel's Soap Flakes make wash
day the most pleasant day of the
week. I look forward to it. Mrs.
Laurel's suds are such fun"
1t didn't make sense. Soap flakes,
pennies from heaven! Washday the
most pleasant day in the week!
That anybody should look forward
to it! Soap suds such fun.
Trotter, sensing her feelings in
the matter, grinned.
Makes you feel like getting a
job writing commercials, rather
than reading them, doesn't it? But
that's sweet music to the sponsor
who pays the bills"
II suppose So" Romany sighed.
But I wonder what the women
think about it."
Trotter laughed.
"Oh, they eat it up. They're not
looking for art in their wash tubs.
Most of 'em don't know the differ
ence."
Romany disagreed VIII him, but
kept silent.
IF you'll go into the studio, we'll
try it," Trotter told Nelson and
Romany. Start from your an
nouncement, Brent, and work with
Miss Halle"
"Okay. Come along, dramatic
actress" Brent grinned.
