All this he has accomplished by unstinting effort and enthusiasm as stimulated by the spirit and intel lectuality which marks him as the fine artist he is. MT. DiCecco has been acknowledged by national crit ics as possessing talent better fitted for greater fields than have been presented to him here solar. Yet he has sublimated his personal an- bitions that our community might be enriched. We should make every effort to match his effort.

For the second time in a few weeks the Board of Works granted a contract to bidder who was not the lowest among the bidding con- tract. Recently the low bidder on the Macarthur Dr., section of the city construction work was rejected for failure to present a check in amount of 10 per cent of the full bid price.
 Last night the Works Board, on the recommendation of City Eng ineer Charles A. Root, rejected the low bid of $141, ,647 on the Caring ton Brook section construction work made by the San Marco Co.,, of White Plains, N. Y, and awarded it to the Clevorock Inc, APO Lexing- ton avenue, New York whose bid totaled $153,258.
 Qualifications Cited
 MT. Root reported that he was o1 the belief after checking all qualif1- cations, that the San Marco Go. was not capable of finishing the construction in the time allotted within the contract. He further added he believed the Clevorbrook Co.,, to be much more qualified for this particular job.
 The bids submitted to the board and tabulated by the engineers office were:
 Clevorbrook, Inc, New York $152,- 258.75; l. Capoldi and Sons,, Prov idence, R. T., $157, 7,634!75; American Construction Co.,, Hartford, $169,- 674.30; F. B. O'Neil & Co.,, Hartford $170,982; Thomas c. DeLuca, Leb- anon, $181, 1,589; M. A. Bongiovanni, Syracuse, N. Y, $234,107; and Clark Construction Co.,, Bridgeport, $287,- 99O.05.
 Streets to be affected by the Car rington construction are as follows
 Academy Ave, Altyre Ave, Bou- ley Ave, Bronx Ave-, Dallas Ave, Donald Ter, and Gates Ave. The storm sewers vii be along Car rington Brook from Meriden Road to Dallas Ave.
 Fire Hydrants
 The Board of Works likewise re- ceived an appeal from the residents of the Platts Mill Community As Sociation which originally had been received by Fire Commissioner Atty. Finton Phelan. The appeal asked for the installation by the city, of two hydrants in the Platts Mill area at the corner of Pear street, and High land avenue, and Bristol street, and Bristol avenue.
 Luther w. Tooker, president of the Association informed the Board that the Naugatuck Water Co.,, has agreed to install the hydrantS if the city of Waterbury or the Commun- ity Club will pay $40 annual rent al fee to the Naugatuck concern.
 An unusual situation prevails in that the Platts Mill area which borders on Naugatuck is an actual part of Waterbury. However, for convience sake the residents of that area receive their mail at the Naug- atuck postal station. The Naugatuck Water Co.,, has agreed to install six inch water mains for the residents there.
 The request was referred by the Board to its committee on water

rapher or magician The gentleman HIM
self says: II make all my money on pictures;

When you first meet MIR. Karger, jolly

rubber ball into your fist. Unclasp your hand
and you find you're holding half dozen
rubber balls. Pass the rubber balls back to

them back into your fist. You open your hand
and find only one, rubber ball. Myself i
took knife and cut that ball all to pieces,
but it was nothing more than an ordinary
rubber ball. Exasperating!
1t is hard to say where Karger's magic
leaves off and his photography begins.
He got interested in both a long time
back when he was a young banker in
Berlin. His adventurous spirit led him to
America 20 years ago. and since then he has
made reputation in both his profession and
his hobby. Peculiarly enough. he will tell you
every secret of his amazing photography (as

of the little rubber balls! He shuts up like
a clam.
Likewise, he won't tell you anything about

you and you hold onto one corner of it. Then

His simplest but most inscrutable trick is
called the Scotch tip" At restaurant he
casually drops a half dollar on the table.

surface Yet the minute it strikes the table

that this is not utilitarian trick - Mr. Kar-

Episcopal Bishop Hits
Use Of 'Nazi Methods
In Policing Germany
Es the Associated Press.

6y the Associated FreSS.
BOSTON, Dec. 1.-THE use OF
"Nazi methods" in policing Germany
is dangerous to the United States,
the Right Rev. Henry Knox Sheriff.,
Episcopal Bishop Of Massachusetts,
said yesterday on his return from
Europe.
Bishop Sheriff. was chairman of
the general commission on Army
and Navy chaplains which studied
conditions within the Reich.
The bishop said he was whole
heartedly in favor of seeing to it
that Germany must not be able to
engineer another war;" but, he
added, I'VE must also beware of the
attitude which adopts Nazi methods
to the enforcement of our own i'm
mediate ends"
This attitude" he said in a press
conference, breeds hate and mis-
trust and has made Europe what it
is today, a danger spot Of hunger
and disease which may in time af-
feet the entire world"
I'VE should deal with individuals
instead of categories," he added
I'VE should be willing to support
the elements in Germany on which
We can build for stable peace.
