Crime Wanes as Business Rooms In Waterbury District
Local Man Peeved
 Tears Ten Dollar Bill Into "SIreds"

Newest candidate for the title of "Waterbury's prOdigal son" is Donald Parisi, 29, of S25 East Main street. In an exhibition of prOdigality unsurpassed by even the most pIutOcratic of America's plutOcracy, the local youth Thurs day night ripped . SlO bill into tiny shreds.
 Parisi and Arthur Martin, g, of 56 Jewelry street, this city, were both arrested, and received suspended judgments from Judge John Maresca in New Haven City Court yesterday morning. Parisi was booked on charges cf drunkenness, general breach of the peace, and injury and destruc- tiOn of personal property. Martin. was arraigned on drunkenness and general breach of the peace charges.
 The local men, according to Parisi's story to Judge Maresca, set out for the Elm City Thursday loaded with joy and gin. Parisi had $40 in his possession, and in the process of fulfilling his avOwed intention of having "a good time", in some mysterious manner be- came detached from $50 of the amount. Upon discovering that but $10 of the original sum re- mained, Parisi released his fury on the bill, neatly, If irrevocably, tearing it into tiny bits.
 A crowd collected to watch the amazing exhibition, and an officer, attracted to the scene, took the men into custody.
 The following interesting bit of dialogue took place in the court room.
 Parisi lin reference to the $1O bill): "Well, it's a jig saw juxzle now. Maybe I'll take it home and let my wife put it together.
 Assistant City Attorney M. Ed ward Klebanoff (diScerningly): And maybe your wife will tear you apart.
 Parisi tfervently): "YOu aint lying! Mabe I'd better vacation in New Haven for a while.

Under supreme court ruling, authorities cannot prevent distri- button of the pamphlets despite the wild charge made against the Catholic church and other de- nominations but proceedings can be taken under regulations for bidding the placing of anything but U. s. mali in letter boxes.
 The pamphlet being distributed is called "The Herald of the Epl- phany" and contains a lengthy article about a so-called quasi alliance between the Roosevelt administration and the Catholic church. Bitter attacks are made on the pope, the hierarchy and Catholics who have achieved prominence in public life.
 No inkling is given as to the local persons connected with the Epiphany sect but a connection with the Jehovah's Witnesses group is hinted.

SIMPLICITY

CIMPLICITY, in truth, is less
" dependent upon external things
than we imagine. It can live in.
broadcloth or homespun; it can
eat white bread or black. It Is
not outward, but inward.
A certain openness Of mind to
learn the daily lessons Of the
school of life; a certain willing
ness. of heart to give and to re-
ceive that extra service, that gift
beyond the strict measure Of debt
which makes friendship possible;
a certain clearness of spirit to per-
ceive the best in things and
people, to love it without fear and
to cleave to it without mistrust;
a peaceable sureness of affection
and taste; a gentle straightfor-
wardness of action; d kind SINGER
ity of speech-these are the marks
of the simple life, which cometh
not with observation, for it is
within you.-Henry Van Dyke.

Largest Active Volcano

Mauna Loa, in the Hawaii Ma
tional park, is the worlds largest
active volcano. It scars 1880
feet above sea level, and its sum-
NIT crater is three miles long and
a mile and a half wide. The vol.
cano has erupted with consider
able violence about once every
four years; the last time was in
1886.
More frequently active Is the
neighboring Kilauea, the summit
Of which contains the pit known as
''the House Of Everlasting Fire."

slightly stricter rule for the son
and heir are going to be respected.
In some families a man and
woman have reached the point when
whatever is suggested by the one
is violently antagonistic to the other.
It never occurs to either to give way.
The effect of this upon children is
intellectually bad.
Wants First Husband Back. =
II have been terribly unfortunate
in my marriages" writes an Iowa
woman. my first was at II, my
oldest girl being born before I
was IS. Her father was very young
and irresponsible, as everyone else
but myself seemed to know, and we
were Immediately divorced. Two
years later / married very fine
fellow, but five years afterward he
had the misfortune to be injured
in the head, and was placed in an
institution. Having then two little
girls to provide for, l married for
a home-a silly mistake, but / was
desperate. A son was born of this
marriage, but owing to actual in
juries inflicted on me by a
jealous, unreasonable husband he
was unable to develop like other
children and is seni-invalid to
this day. Divorced two years later,
I made comfortable home for my
self and my children but was obliged
to sue for my late husbands estate
for their support when my son was
five years old.
eft was then met my first hus-
band, who had gone away from our
town, put himself through medical
school by his own efforts, and OBJ
tanned a really fine position. My
youthful folly in insisting on a di-
vorce cost me very dear, for the
old attraction is still strong in us
both, and Cal has a wife and two
little sons. What / am writing to
ask you is whether ! still have any
claim on him, as in some states our
divorce would not be considered
legal. If he were free believe I
could win him back"
And she sends me sheaf of docu-
ments to prove that her marriage

letters protesting against the divorce
and other complicated details con-
stitute illegality. The pity of it'll
At 80, burdened with an invalid child
and two daughters, she would step
back into Gals life to destroy it, ruin
the happiness of his wife and sons,
and once more complicate her own
existence, this time beyond all
hope of recovery.
Patience-Mutual Confidence Needed.
Seventeen is too young for mar
riage. But many a marriage begun
in the teens has proved success,
nevertheless, and obviously this one
might have been. Patience and mu-
tual confidence and little help from
the grownups would have carried
Cal and Sally safely through. In
finite mischief and suffering would
have been averted, and possibly a
houseful of fine children would
have held both man and wife in
safety. As it is, I'm not advising
Sally.
For one thing, she wouldn't pay
the slightest attention to advice.
She must follow her willful and mis-
chievous path to the end. But do
ask other wives to look before they
leap to the divorce courts; see what
you can do with the material in
