RDDDNER RADICAL SEX A BI_LI_._S__URGED Elsie Hill-Levitt Finds Hos- tility in Legislative Hearing. "Miss Elsie Hill. chairman of the National \Voman's Party. will now speak." was the introduction by Mrs. Nathan Direcktor of Meriden. legis- lative agent of the party. who had opened a crowded hearing before the legislative judiciary committee in Hartford Friday afternoon on twenty- three bills of radical character seek- ing to level the statutes concerning men and women—level them upward. according to Mrs. Dirccktor. “Isn't your name Mrs. Levitt?" de- manded Representative Bell of Salv isbury of the daughter of a. formc. congressman. the late Ebenezer J Hill, of Norwalk. ' “My name is Miss Elsie Hill." came the reply. "My bank account is in the name of Elsie lilii. My husband's name is Alfred Levitt, professor at Yale university." In her arguments against which the openly antagonistic, Mrs. Levitt cited the case of Peggy Marsh and Marshall Field as a "glaring case of woman's inequality." and argued for the passage of the bill making the for the committee was hills. father equally responsible with the mother for illegitimate children. For a. bill making women eligible for jury duty Mrs. Levitt said women should be Jurors in the most disagre- cable sex cases. mentioning the Tex Rickard accusatlg' where; she said. little girls were f rccd to testify to a. crowded courtroom of men with not even a matron. present. Concerning another bill which wouldn't in cases of divorce permit either husband or wife to change his or her name. Mrs. Levitt retorted to a. committee in-I quiery. “I should think Banker Jim Stillman would want to change his name." She objected to sex distincition in the matter of hours of employment. She said she was the best automobile driver she knew. except the. person who taught her and In the event of a social revolution she would "hope to be of some service". Outside of New Orleans. where the dilfcrence between wages for men and women averaged $110 a month. she declared New Haven was the worst city in the county. the difference being $200 to $500 a year. She be- lieved the hours of employment limi- tation should be laid on an industry rather than on sex. There was outspoken male oppo- sition to a bill giving husband and wife the right to sue each other. even for minor household accidents and negligence. members of the com-. mlttec saying the measures were “as cold as steel in winter." They ob- jected ,tlso to a. bill giving a woman the right to name her own domicile. regardless of her husband's legal ra— sldence.

Dunbar Introduces Famous States- men to the Sunday Club. Yesterday's program of the Sunday Club of the South Norwalk Congre- gational Church was built around the personalities of the makers of our Federal Constitution as they we're seen in the Philadelphia Convention. and was lead by Attorney Jesse T. Dunbar. Many people realizes that too little is known about this very important event in the nation's his- tory and the men who were responsi- ble for our constitution, and the Sun- day Club's members and friends were appreciative of yesterday's clear pic- tures on the subject. Although little was known, the speaker said. about the proceedings of the convention at the time of its work, Ehere was for more than a hun- dred years after. a feeling of great constitu— tion similar to that accorded to a monarch of a. foreign country. This feeling has been fostered in many ways. among them being the fact that the oath of allegiance to this country included the support of the constitu- tion. instead of any one individual as sovereign ' The convention as called was s. meeting of diplomats Worn the sever- al soverign states. and the sessions conducted in secret were comparable to present day diplomatic meetings where screcy is observed. Further. the proceedings of the convention were regarded by many as being con- dlvlne guidance. and wane looked upon ‘with ave andmr’ev. erence something as were the ten commandments given to Moses on St. Sinai. These circumstances cou- pled with the fact that much that was known about the convention was not understood by the people of that time. made for considerable mystery concerning the meeting and it’s work. The next generation, being very busy making history of it's own did not take very much time to understand the characte'r and work of the con- vention and the origin of the consti- tution. and thus we find the present generation slowly piecing together the available facts in an effort to get the proper picture of this origin of our Federal Constitution. New to get an idea. of the meeting place of the convention. Philadel- phia. of that day was the largest city in the country. a. city of forty-five thousand people. The convention hail. the old historic state house. was more than fifty years old, and was the place where Washington ups elected’ commander-in-chief of the (Continued on Page Two) Among the local exhibitors who will have booths at the Orientzll Bazaar and Fashion Exposition. which opens this evening at the Norwalk Armory. under the auspices of Battery C. 192nd Artillery. are. the Ideal Shop.

PRICE THREE CENTS G Y“ SPRING BUILDING BOOM CALLS ‘ FOR BIG BLOCK OF STORES AND APARTMENTS lN NORTH MAIN ST. Architects Are Preparing Plans for Structure 'on Last 200 Feet Front and 125 Feet Deep on Marshall Street—— Present Wooden Buildings Will Be Removed. Norwalk’s . spring building boom has been lent added impetus by the fact that Samuel Roodner at present is having plans drawn. on a. competi- tive basis by various architects. for the erection of a. block of stores. offi- ces and the two and three-room apart- ments on his propertyon North Main street from Marshall street, up to the: Hayes Block. At present Mr. Roodner has not de- cided whether the building will be two or three stories in height. this to depend upon the probable cost. How— ever, tentative plans call for stores and oflices, and a series of two and three room apartments. The approximate cost of the erec- tion of this building. which will re- place the building new occupied by the Studwell Piano Company. and also the former Old Homestead. ad- joining. will be quite high. but figures have not been obtaind as plans have not been completed as yet. It is ex- pected that they will be completed the first of the month, when.further announcements can be made. For some time there had been agi- tation to have a. post office building erected on this spot, but the plans fdr this fell through some time ago. The‘ row of buildings will have s. frontage on North Main street out some 200 feet, and will have a depth of about 125 feet. This will mean ’that the entire lot will be taken over .for the buildings. ‘ NORWALK AUTO BREAKS 'IIIRDIICII - STREET PAVEMENT IN RRIDCERDR'I Jar Driven by Harold Gotham, of Livingston StreeLVNeari 1y Wrecked. and Three empants Breached by Witter. A new sedan auto. owned by Mrs. Meta. Gorham. of 4 Livingston Place, while being driven along Fairfield avenue. Bridgeport. about 10 o'clock last night. became mired when the rear wheels sank through the pave~ mcnt there that had‘become under- mined due to a bursting water con- duit. ' ‘ ~ In the car with Mrs Gorbam, was her husband. Harold 'Gorham. who was driving, and Mrs. Francis St. John. of Hartford. 8. friend. The car was being driven towards Bridgeport at the time of the accident. The scene was on Fairfield avenue. just cast. of the Ash Creek bridge. Gorham noticed a. pool of water in the road, but paid no attention to it. and drove through it. The front wheels of the car got across. but sud- denly the rear end settled abruptly, sinking with the crumbling pavement. The main had burst some time before and had undermined the pavement for quit a distance; The water spurted up through the break. and the passengers were thrown unexpectedly and violently off their seats by the shock. Gorham leaped from the sinking car and help- ed his wife and Mrs. St. John out All three were drenched. ' A deluge of water came from the break. and washed away driveways, flooding the street, tying up one of the important trolley tracks and for a time inconvenienced hundreds of other motorists. who had to proceed with the utmost caution on the ex- treme side of the road. Firemen. policemen and emergency crews of the Bridgeport Hydraulic company Were rushed to the scene. It appeared as if the automobile had been gripped by tugging quicksands. for it continued to settle slowly, its rear end dropping out of sight. So staunchly was the car gripped in the hole. the back of one wrecking car. of powerful engine, was ripped, away in an unavailing attempt to drag it onto firm ground. Tugging by other cars proved as fruitless. After several hours futile hauling. the car all the time sinking deeper. a wooden pyramid was built around and over the hole. and at an early hour this morning preparations were being completed to hoist the car out: onto a. solid foundation. Damage of over $10,000. it is esti- mated was done by the water to near-‘ by stores and homes, and to the pav- ing. The car had not been taken from the muck hole into which it had fallen. until a. late hour this morning. 100 ATTEND MBA“ Over 100 members of the South Norwalk Boat Club and their friends. together with invited guests. enjoyed a smoker and clam bake held yester- day afternoon and evening at the club quarters.
