 Hospitalized in serious condition at Springfield hospital with two bull let wounds in his abdomen and one in his right leg was Joseph Chag- non, 27, of Agawam. Louis Stipek of Springfield was at the same hospital with a wound in his left leg.
 Police said the local farmer had been involved in the poultry pro- ducing" argument with four bro- thers and that when he produced $100 to support his contention. there was a scuffle for the money and his shirt was torn.
 The farmer, authorities said, left the cafe and returned with two pis- tols. He was elected but went to another cafe to look for the bro- thers. As he entered the second cafe he began to fire. wounding Sti- pek and Chagnon who had not been invoved in the argument.

company at all until she learned to

Eugene, under this treatment,
would add one more marriage to the
thousands that are broken up be-
cause of bad manners every year.
However, when you realize why
she is acting this way you may find
your own cure. Analysis of the dis
ease is always the first step. Wives
treat their husbands so cavalierly
because they are ashamed Of them.
Eugene probably is going about
with richer women, women whose
husbands are more successful. Her
sneers and snubs are expressions Of
humiliation. She is saying to her
friends, without exact words, 81
don't think Larry is 30 much! I
don't want you to think I'm salts

In her heart she probably is more
than satisfied. She knows what a
serene home life, free from ankle
ties, you give her. She has q part
time maid, garden, lovely children.
But all that doesn't count against
the need she feels to impress her
friends. Loyalty to you counts for
nothing, If only she can be sure that
they are not laughing at her or pity
ing her.

At Washington, the White House
disclosed that information definitely
indicates that the steamer Robin

asked to suspend judgment on the
matter until all the facts are aScer-

Secretary Stephen T. Early said
President RooSeve;; IS seeking in

of the American freight and pas

Il think the president would ap-

Early said. "We don't know yet the
cause of the sinking We are trying
to determine that.
THE position of the ship when
it went down seems to be fairly
we'll determined, and that would put
it in American waters on this side
of the Atlantic"
Up to this point, Early said, the
president and state department of

sinking in addition to what already
has been published.
