VALUED PAINTINGS TO BE EXHIBITED
!. General Assembly, to View Work of Rex Brasher; Price Given Governor

f. The committee appointed by Gov. l. Robert A. Hurley to negotiate for ..acquisition by the state of Connec- ticut of the original water color .paintings by Rex Brasher. expects to submit it's report to the governor ..on wednesday. It has secured an .offer covering 874 of the water col or paintings which faithfully illus ,trate in natural colors every species .of bird known in North America Usually these are shown against their natural background so that most of the trees and many Of the plants of United States, Canada and Mexico are also shown.
 Hitherto Brashers work has been known to the people of Connecti- cut principally in reproduction. The original water color paintings are 50 precious that they are kept in a fire-proof vault. The governors committee has secured permission to exhibit e large number of the paint ings So that members of the appro- prIations committee and of the General Assembly will have an op- portunity to see Brasher's work and determine for themselves whether they are worth the price asked. This price will not be known until the governor sends the committees recommendation to the General As- senfbly.
 Brasher's pictures frequently show the male and female bird, the ma 1. tiire bird, and the seasonal moult 60 that every aspect of a species is fairly recorded. Consequently there are more than 2500 individual birds shown in the STA water color paint ings. They are not only artistically finished but scientifically correct The length of the bill, the number of the tail feathers and the color oi the feathers and many other de- tails are carefully shown. Four oi the species of birds which MT Brasher has pictured for all time are now extinct.
 The pictures will be on exhibition on Tuesday, the 29th, from l to 3:30 p. m. in the large hall Of the state library on the first floor of the supreme court and state library building in Hartford.
 William J. Pape of this city is q member of the commission, which was named several weeks ago after the General Assembly passed a bill authorizing its appointment. The state will acquire the Brasher col- lection if the assembly approved the price agreed on by the commission and the artist. Most of the pictures were painted at Kent, where MT Brasner makes his home.

Reserve and Discretion
Part of Lady's Make-Up

''It is impossible to dwell too
strongly" says Decorun, upon the
importance of reserve and discre-
ton on the part of ladies travelling
alone. They may, as has been said,
accept slight services courteously
proffered by strangers, but any at
tempt at familiarity must be
checked, and this with all the less
Hesitation, that no gentleman will
be guilty of such familiarity; and
lady wants only gentlemen for her
acquaintance.
Once, when travelling from Chi
cago to Toledo, there were upon the
SAME train a young lady and gentle
man who were soon the observed of
all observers. The acquaintance be-
gan soon after starting.
"By the time La Porte was
reached he had taken his seat be-
side her. At Elkhart the personal
history of each was known to the
other. The gentleman here invited
the lady to supper and paid her bill.
Shortly afterward photographs were
exchanged, they had written conf
dentially in each others note books,
and had promised to correspond.
Cali this passed between them in
tones so loud and with actions so
obtrusive that they attracted the no.
tice of everyone in the car, and
many were the comments upon
them. AS daylight waned she sunk
upon his shoulder to sleep while
he threw his arm around her to
support her. She was foolish girl
yet old enough to have known bet
ter. He must have been a villain
thus to take advantage of her sill.

Hubbard Cited ON Chiropractie

Hubbard Cited on Ch1rOpractic
The late Ebert Hubbard, one of
the most brilliant writer's of recent
times, personally investigated the
claims of chiropractic. He wrote in
his book, 1.-THE Science of Keeping
Well":.
"Above all things, good chiro-
practor has faith in nature. He does
not make the proud boast that he
cures people. He knows that it is
nature that heals. All the chiroprac-
tor can do is put his patient in line
with the healing forces of nature.
Chiropractic never brings an ad-
verse result. The chiropractor does
not pin his faith in any single
panacea. He simply knows the
physical fact that pressure of bone
on the nerve brings about a condi-
ton where the telegraph system fails
to act properly. With skilled hands
he brings about right relationship
and proper adjustment. He finds
the cause and removes it. Chiro-
practors are not doctors of medi-
cine"

STUDENT COUNCIL
The Student Council, oldest club in
school, was started in 1924. The
Council has been working ever since
to promote cooperation Sbetween fac
ulty and students and to promote gen.
eral school welfare. The member
ship of the council is made up of
three persons from each room. This
gives each class an opportunity to
express it's ideas and have them dis
cussed by the council.
The Council has done much for the
general welfare of the school. This
year the Council has tried to furnish
entertainment such as movies and a
dance. Just recently new banner
has been purchased for the school
This banner is now in the hall in full
view of anyone entering school.

Union Wins Strike;
Improves Conditions

Brooklyn, N. Y.-The Leviton strike
is settled. The strikers won. After
nearly year on the picket line, dur
ing which they endured the most in
tense kind of hardship, they attained
a $3.50 minimum and a 10 per cent
wage increase for employees not af-
fected by the new minimum. This
means a rs per cent wage increase
for about half the company's 1000
employees.
Under the agreement, Local 3, In
ternational Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, AFL, is recognized as the
sole collective bargaining agent, by
the Leviton Manufacturing company.
A grievance committee system is
set up under the contract, which
runs for one year, to handle the day
to-day complaints and problems be-
tween employer and employee. The
company gives assurances that en-
ployes in low-paid positions will be
advanced to better jobs whenever
possible. Workers will not be charg-
ed for broken material, nor will they
lose pay if they have to wait half a
day for broken machinery to be re-
paired. There will be no more arbi-
trary reductions of piecework rates.
Presiding Justice Edward Lazansky
of the Appellate Division, who helped
bring about the settlement, will be
an impartial arbiter during the term
of the agreement and will decide all
problems that cannot otherwise be
settled.

Cites British Example c
Workers Who Give
For Defense

Cincinnati, O.-Daniel j. Tobin,
President Of the International Broth
erhood of Teamsters, called upon all
American workers to make sacrifices
for the cause Of democracy and JUS
tice.
Speaking over a nationwide radio
hookup under the auspices of the
Cincinnati Fight for Freedom Com
mittee, Mr.. Tobin declared that Brit
ish workers are giving everything
they have in the fight to defeat Hit
lerism. He added:
"The workers of the United States,
as l understand them-and think l
know their feelings and desires-are
ready and willing to make the same
sacrifice as the British Workers, if
called upon to do SO; and although
the organized and unorganized work.
ers are honeycombed with agents of
foreign nations who are creating dis
turbances, the masses of the honest
toilers of America pledge themselves,
in my analysis of their feelings, to
defend this nation and to defend de-
mocracy and justice anywhere in the
world, if called upon by the leaders
of our government, in whose hands
are placed the awful responsibility Of
the preservation of our nation.
Because we realize the dark hour
in which we are placed; because we
know that the leaders of our govern
ment are endeavoring to protect our
people, we repeat our promise to
make any sacrifice called upon, and
we ask our associate Americans, in
the name of common humanity, much
as we detest and despise and abhor
the word "war," to join with us and
to make similar sacrifices if neces-
sary, to the end that we preserve and
maintain the right guaranteed us by
the blood Of the men who have gone
before us in our country-that right
to worship as we please, to express
ourselves and to conduct ourselves in
any way we desire in accordance with
the laws of our country and the rights
guaranteed to us by our Constitution
under which our democratic form Of
government functions and shall con-
tinue to function, making the world
brighter and better for all of the peo-
Piles Of the world"
