Hearing Of the case, based on personal injuries allegedly received by the 10-year-old Highland avenue girl from a piece of wire used by the defendant to bind newspapers, opened Wednesday and continued all day yesterday.
 Testifying yesterday afternoon were the girls mother, who claimed she saw district manager of the concern remove wire from several bundles of papers, Feb. p, the day of the accident, and Charles Fer resse, newsboy, who said he took all wire on his papers to his home as his father used 1t to make a fence.
 The plaintiff claims she sustained severe injury to her right eye when the wire struck 1t as she picked it up in front of her home with the intention to throw it in the gutter. Damages of $10,000 are sought.

 And then last Easter, home on a duty visit, she had suddenly got herself engaged to George Baker, whom she had known since baby hood. And Connie and Walter were going around looking like two cats who had swallowed the cream pitcher.
 And this brings me up to the moment when Kathy joined Con- nie and me in the breakfast room and the temperature dropped to 30 below zero. After few moments of uncomfortable silence, Connie made some excuse about the twins and rose and left the room.
 Kathy sat there staring at the golden-tipped egg on her plate Then with a preoccupied air she picked up her coffee and a piece of toast and ambled of in the di- rection of the living room. With out word of apology.

 But he was ugly in virile masculine way. There was a wholesome smell of outdoors and pipe smoke and tweeds about him, and when he smiled it lit up his somber face like the sun coming from behind a cloud.
 He explained, that day when he first appeared, that he was a writer of detective stories, that his name was Clint Madison, that he could pay me in advance, and that he wanted to rent the Cottage.
 The Cottage is rustic studio sort of cabin built down in the woods by Michael as a honeymoon hideaWay for Walter and Harriet. They spent all their summers there until Harriet became i'll, but Connie will never go near the place - jealousy, I suppose.

Connie was already at breakfast when I went down that morning. She had on a slack suit. I noticed the outfit because Connie usually goes in for very feminine attire and leaves the masculine for her less curve-blessed sisters.

 I'll have to backtrack here or you won't understand about the feeling between Kathy and Con- nie. Neither one of them was really to blame for it. Connie, be- ing conscientious, felt 1t was her duty to straighten out the life of Walter s daughter. And Kathy resented Connie because she stepped into her dead mothers shoes. Kathy never saw her fathers side of it.
 Walter was faithful to Harriet during the twelve long years of her invalidism - and that's long time in any mans life.-. I didn't censor him when he married Con- nie, who had been Harriets last nurse, less than a year after Har- riet's death.
 In fact, human nature being what it is, I was delighted when I found Connie as sensible as she proved to be. She was a beauti- full girl 1t might well have been that she married Walter, who was 45 and turning q distinguished gray at the temples, for his money
 But it developed that she mar ried him for love. Jack and Judy came along just fifteen months after the wedding and Connie was devoted to them and Walter. Her only mistake was in deciding that she had to mother Kathy, too. And Kathy only year younger than she.
 Kathy rebelled, naturally She went out to the west coast and dabbled in the movies. She spent most of her time out there for the next two years, and occasionally rumors of her attending some wild party. or being squired about

Rationing of foods can result In mportant health benefits, as well as n a fairer distribution of food sup plies. according to the statisticians ,f the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. who point out that Eng and's health record last year was most remarkable and that this was 5ue in part, to careful management If the country'S limited food sup olies. Last years death rate of ll.6 oer 1000 persons was the lowest Gince the beginning of the war, and the same as in 1888. Only once-ln l930-has England's death rate fal- len below this figure.
 "A striking example of the bene- dts of rationing," say the statisti- sians. twas a 10 per cent decline Tn deaths from diabetes. NoWadays overeating is practically impossible n England and, consequently, over weight, as usual symptom preced- ing the onset of diabetes, is much less common than before.
 Chronic Diseases
 "The same factor is reflected, to come extent, in the decline In deaths from chronic diseases Of the heart. blood vessels and kidneys. The majority of the victims Of these diseases suffer from high blood pressure, a condition which is often alleviated by dietary restriction, with a consequent slowing down Of the progress of the disease. Thus, by enforcing such restriction on large scale, rationing appears to be prolonging the lives of many mid dle-aged and elderly Englishmen, and also to have improved their general health.
 "The health record of English in- fants and children is as good, if not better than ever, despite the hard ships of war and disruptionS caused, at times, in heavy populated areas by enemy bombing raids. rms achievement also reflects, in some degree, the wise management Of English food supplies. For children and pregnant and nursing mothers have had first call on the limited supplies of milk, eggs and meat in the quantities they reed.
 several other measures have helped England to make the most of her store of food. Communal feed- ing has been instituted as required. The school feeding program has been widely extended. Persons doing heavy manual labor obtain extra rations. Furthermore, the establish ment of industrial cafeteriaS in many war plants, by permitting workers to obtain a nourishing meal at low cost during the working day, has preserved the health of the worhtrs and helped maintain pro- dllctinn as well. The whole popula-

tion has benefited from the gen. eral use of enriched or whole grain bread.
 English System
 The skill and fairness with which the English rationing pro- gram has been worked out is seen also in the special provisions for diabetics. They are permitted extra rationS of meat, bacon, cheese and fats. but at the same time they are required to surrender sugar rationS. Thus, diabetics get enough of the right kind of food. It is interesting to note also that measures were taken to assure a sufficient supply of insulin 10 English diabetics who formerly depended largely on Den- mark for this drug. To avoid inter ruption of supplies as a result of air raids, diabetics using insulin have been encouraged to keep an extra supply on hand at all times"

 What I didn't know at the time. however, was that he was also an amateur glider enthusiast and that using the hill at the end Of the lake as his taking-on point he was liable to come pumping down upon the landscape in a suicide contraption any time he could find someone with a car and mind to give him a tow.
 That morning, the firSt after Kathy came down, Clint Madison came to pay another months rent and Margaret showed him into my study at the end of the downstairs hall I gave him a receipt, and | uuipped him about his recent land ing in Farmer Miller's pig pen. He blushed, as he did easily, and start ed to go.
 I walked into the hall with him, and Kathy-she had changed into a famboyant black and white | ploka-dotted sport dress and a short black wool box coat came pell-mell down the stairs and all most ran over him in that arro- gant way of hers.
 Clint Madison stood staring after her. Katherine is quite an eyeful My granddaughter" I explained with the feeling that I was talking to air.
 The mans gray eyes gradually came back into focus on me, and as he collected his presence of mind and bade me good morning a motor. So I knew Kathy must have taken one of the cars out.
 She wasn't back at lunch time, either. And something white and set about Comics face kept me from asking her if she knew where Kathy had gone. They must have had whale of row last night, I thought.
 As we finished lunch the long threatening electrical storm ruln- bled up over the horizon. I re- member my nerves jumping at the first roll of thunder. I didn't know, however, that my peace and quiet for days to come had been shattered by that thunder clap.

ter of few hours the pressure be-
came greater.
Both sides maintained their con-
fidence during the day. Mayor
Monagan's followers anticipate a
victory by q margin Of 1000 to 5000.
Mr.. Kearney and his aides claim
victory by 100. Edward M. Ryan,
chairman Of the American Progress
sive Party, repeated his assertion
that Kearney loomed q winner to
him.
The total registration OF elgih,s
voters was 46,476 as compared to
47,451 in the special election Of 1912.
Two years ago when Mayor Vincent
Scully was opposed by former May
or Pasquale Perriello 35,489 votes
were cast with Mayor Scully collect
ing 10000 to 1890 for Perriello and
660 for Frank ]. Wall, Independent
Democratic candidate.
No one In either political party
was optimistic to the point of claim
ing that more than 10000 votes
would be cast today. In view Of the
fact that nearly 5000 and 5000 men
and women are now In the armed
forces, in view OF conflicting factory
schedules and as result Of the gen.
eral indifference Of the electorate
manifested in various ways $4,000 or
10000 total seems o good one. Many

Notwithstanding these factors
