Interesting History Given of Bunker Hill
 Congregations Work
Chairman Hess Given Praise for Years of Untiring Efforts to Promote Parish-Younger People
 Playing Big Part in Campaign

The goal set for the Bunker Hill Congregational Church drive to fin- ish the canctuary has been set at $40,000 and the campaign has al- ready been launched.
 Bunker Hill Church as 1t stands today was built and dedicated ill 1924 with gymnasium, kitchen and stage on the Bunker Hill Avenue side; church school, kindergarten and parlors on the upper floors and community room for the Mems League and other organizations on the mezzanine floor.
 The main auditorium at the front of the building is an unfinished shell, which is still awaiting com- pletion.
 Transformed
 For the sixteen years since its dedication, the congregation has worshipped in the gymnasium, which although huge barnlike-hall on week days has been transformed Sundays into 8 real inspirational meeting place except for the basket ball back boards and the caged-in overhead lights. Beautiful velvet draperies and a very lovely carved communion table, both gifts to the church, have added much to the dignity of the church services as

TIME EXTENDED FOR DEFENDANTS
Judge lnglis Grants Sec Ond Request of Counsel
 for Conspiracy Trial

Judge Ernest A. Inglis of tie superior court, the presiding judge at Waterbury's million dollar con- splracy trial, on Saturday granted 8 second extension of time to the IA convicted men who appealed their cases to the supreme court, to file assignments of errors to his finding in the case. The extension is to May 9th.
 The original extension granted by Judge mglis was to April 15. All but one of appellants to the supreme court asked for the extension of time to May 9th, Thomas P. Kelly. asked for an extension but did net mention a date It was set forth in the original appeals for extension Of time and in the latest ones that Judge Inglis' finding was SO lengthy that 1t was impossible for the law yerS for the accused to properly pre- pare their assignments of errors.
 Judge IngliS filed his finding on March 18 and the first headline for assignment of errors was March 29.
 The motions filed Friday in addi- ton to MT. Kelly's wee in behalf of Hayes, former Controller Daniel J. Leary, Henry Minor, Martin J. Dunn, Thomas J. Fleming, John S. Johnston and Simon J.

 Nevertheless members have never ceased to regret their inability tc complete the sanctuary at that time an dtheir constant desire ever since has been to finish this main part oi the church building.
 Renewed efforts have been made from time to time during the in- tervening years, but the response was not enthusiastic, not because the people were not as anxious as ever, but because the depression made every one too uncertain o1 the future to be willing to make pledges that they might not be able to pay.
 Psychological Time
 For a long while it looked as though this task have to be left for another generation to finish. Ii evidently was not the psychological time until this spring. Now there seems to be something in the ail that has lifted the hearts of the people with an impulse to finish the church in the near future.
 The older generation, those who took the initiative in the other cam paign when the church was built 1e years ago are still active, interested and enthusiastic and still planning to do their share in the coming drive. Some of them are not in a position to do as much as they did befarse and should not have to since there is double the number to help this time that there was before and less than half the amount needed then, to be raised this time
 The goal set for this drive is $4O,000. If this amount can be raised the finance committee will be able to do all they have planned. If not, the committee will finish only what there is money to pay for and no operations will be started until enough money is actually on hand to pay for it.
 Chairman Hess
 It is very encouraging to feel that the younger generation and the newer members are taking hold oi this task and showing a willingness to assume their share of the re- sponsibility, Frank E. Hess, chair man of the finance committee, is new in the church since the church was built and has been one of the most untiring and helpful workers in planning for the coming cam paign. His is the vision that has inspired the rest of the congrega- tion to go forward at this time, Many of the younger men have en- listed their services to push the canvass forward and certainly the example of the Women's Society for the past seven or more years should be an inspiration to all.

MIR. Whitaker himself was no fool,
even about women. He disliked over
dressing, but he admitted to himself
that Madame Rubin was still hand
some, and he allowed things to Euro
pean women which he would not
tolerate in the women of his own coun-
try. Ever since certain night in his
youth when the only young mans
dream he had ever had, had burst like
bubble into nothing, he had been
convinced that all European women
were, though handsome, assailable as
to virtue
At this moment he saw that the
sunlight fell on Madame Rubin face.
She seemed not to notice it, but sat
waiting for him, looking very stately.
1t struck him that an American wom-
an would have moved out of the
sunlight; also that Madame Rubin
had a very fine skin. do you use

"Fifty-one percent only" she said
to herself sternly. But by now MIR.
Whitaker had decided he liked this
woman to the extent that she might
not be as much of fool as her costume
indicated. Under the coquettishly
brimmed hat her splendid eyes looked
at him calmly and with good sense.

But he was too good businessman

in the country. Wheat and silver and
cotton and steel might fluctuate like
the tide-ridden seas, but women went
on buying cream to put on their faces.
The better the creams, the more

j important to women, it seemed, than
bread. The less money they had to
spend. the more they wanted to spend
it on something they thought good.
Beauty shop business in general
has declined" Barton wrote, but
the sale of fine creams has correspond
lngly risen, due perhaps to the fact
that women are trying to treat them

His recommendation was that the
field was fair one for moderate in
