But il was hard. in the days fol-

was AN undesirable person. He
was so grand.

Her heart grew heavy. She
could not help liking him. But
she had always planned her future
as something ultra-respectable.
To be a "gangster's moll' had
had no part in these plans.
She knew Ezekiel liked her as
he told her his own plans.
Strange-these seemed to consist
only of going further and further
ahead in Mr.. Benton's office.
He liked Mr.. Benton. He liked
the work. He had studied long

LYDIA never had heard of This par

accepted il as such.
Then came the night before she
was leaving for home. She didn't
know what to do. Should she
warn Mr.. Benton. Should she
try to appeal TO Ezekiel's better
nature?
Maybe she could reform him.
Ezekiel precipitated matters that
night when he took both her hands

CHARMING MANNER

Al Miami Beach the summer
before Lee and his wife had been
charmed by the manner, the looks
and the unsophistcatlon of one OF
the girls in the hotel where they
stayed.
In conversation, Mrs. Benton
had learned the girl was edu-
eating herself. had ambitions
towards a secretarial position IN
time, but was independently pay
ing her way with any type OF work
she could get, until she was ready
for a better position.
So she cheerfully performed the
duties of second maid, IN the
meantime.
Impulsively. Mrs. Benton, as she
was leaving, said:
IF ever you find your way Ia
New York. let me know-IH
try to show you n little of our
town"
And now LYDIA Coates had taken
her at her word and was almost

VOTE HEARTENINC
 CLAIMS DANAHER

The outcome of the election Tues day is most heartening indica- tion," said U. s. Senator John A. Danaher in a statement today.
 Said Senator Danaher: "The re- surgence of the American voters is most heartening indication that the public is aware of the serious ness of the problems ahead and ex- poets Republicans to be admitted to a greater share in their solution. Notice has been served on the ad- ministration that our people de- mand complete attention of the gov ernment and its Spokesmen to an effective prosecution of the war now that we are in it, and ask for an end to that type of legislation which conceals hidden and ulterior ob- jectives. The Republicans can and will respond fully through an op- position party which will seek out the good and preserve it, and reject that which is devious and non-es- sential. A great opportunity to as- siSt in preserving our government and its institutions have shown they will support such efforts. Governor Baldwin and his splendid running mates and six Republican congress- men will do their share.

Illegal Drug SalesInvolve Waterbury
Bus Man ScOFs
 At Holiday Yarn

Hartford, Nov. { - The bus driver who was engaged by the U. E. Employment Service to make . daily run back and forth between Danbury and Naugatuck with g newly hired women thought he had an easy job on his hands, as the bus franchise didn't permit other runs during the day.
 Arriving at the factory at 500 A. M. with his first load of women workers, he proceed ed to make himself comfortable while awaiting the return trip at 500 D. m.--but not for long. Employment officials, seeing him lOlling at ease in front of the factory, were appalled, at the wastage of manpOwer - and proceeded to do something about it.
 In 8 matter of minutes he was called inside, offered a job, and put to work.
 Now he's spending eight hours a day making puncture proof gas tanks - in addition to his regular stint driving his bus.

Four Stores Here Among g Accused
 Awaiting Hearings
SUmmOnses Given All to Answer Charges in Hartford Today and Tomorrow; Possible Prosecutions Re-
 suit of Drive to End Sale of Barbituric Acid

Hartford, November 5. - Thirty two druggists accused of the illegal sale of dangerous drugs have been summoned to appear before Dairy and Food Commissioner John J. Sweeney at Q series of hearings to- day and tomorrow.
 The hearings and possible pros- cautions are result of drive started to put an end to the in discriminate sale of barbituric acid and its derivatives following the commitment of three addicts of the drug to state institutions within one To-day period.
 Barhituric acid = a powerful hypnotic which has caused nine deaths in Connecticut thus far in l942 = may be sold in Connecticut without a doctors prescription, acc cording to ruling of the attorney general, if it is properly labeled and carries the statement: Warning May be habit forming"
 Proper labelling requires ade- quate dosage directions, volume of contents, name and address of the retailer or manufacturer and all necessary warnings of danger.
 Supervising Inspector Herbert P. Plank of the drug division of the Dairy and Food Commission, who directed the present drive, said today that due to the danger ouS character of the drug no druggist could possibly provide adequate dosage directions and that, consequently, a legal sale except on prescription could not be made.
 This fact was recognized by members of the State Pharmacy Commission at a mass hearing in Greenwich last March, Mir. Plank said, and 1t was agreed at that time that sales of the drug would be restricted to doctors preserip- tions pending possible further re- strictions on the sale of the hyp- notic by the next General Assembly.
 Investigation of the commit ments of Fairfield and Meri- den woman and New Haven man to state institutions for treatment for barbituric acid addiction re- vealed that some state druggists are not keeping their part of the agree ment.
 Out of approximately 200 stores visited by agents of the department the State Commissioner says, 32 sold the drug in packages which did not carry dosage directions of any kind or volume of contents. In addi- ton many of the accused failed to place the habit forming warning on the label or the name and address of the store.
 Those scheduled for hearings are:
 Frank J. Ofstrofsy, Fl Dorado Pharmacy, City Line Pharmacy, Whelan Drug, Barnum and East streets, P. J. Porter ard the Lin- coin Pharmacy, all of Bridgeport; the West Hill Pharmacy, Stam- ford; Palace Pharmacy, Mer- iden: Barden Pharmacy, Shelton; Hotchkiss Drug and Blumes Pharmacy, Derby; Buckley's Phar- macy, Ansonia; Mayors Pharmacy, West Haven; Cedar Hill Pharmacy, Alden Pharmacy, Edgewood Phar- macyf Bezner's Pharmacy, John sons Pharmacy, Whitney Phar- macy, Woods Pharmacy, Ed Pharmacy, Humphrey, and Weiner Pharmacy of New Haven; Whelan Drug, IA Campbell avenue, and Whelan Drug, Orange avenue, West Haven; Country Club Pharm- acy, Spring Glen Pharmacy and Hamden Pharmacy, Hamden; Jones Drug, w.
