artists through an interpreter. Count
Edward Zichy. who has charge of the
Russian pavilion. "Belonging to what
is known as the "Younger party." a
party opposed to Bolshevism. we were
forced to flee.
"'Accompa-nied by a Russian coun-

headed toward Southern Russia when
we were discovered by a train checker

The countess died. a victim of the .l-

At this point. Bobritsky pointed to

sembly Hall with Judge John R.

a dwelling house for the defendant in
New Canaan.

testified that he had agreed to con-
struct a fourteen-room dwelling house
for the defendant. At the time_ he
started the work no contract was
made. When the work was complet‘
ed. hn architect was called in who
placed the value of the work com-
pleted at $875. The plaintiff told the
court that he had received only 8250
of this amount and that 8625 was still
due him. _
On the other hand. it was .claimed
by the defense that Testa had been
paid for services performed at the
usual union carpenter scale of wagea

They aver that the twenty-minute
parking law instead of improving con-
ditions for the merchant and the
shopper is making the nerves of the
shopper jump for fear of being tagged
and having to appear in court. They
cite dpecldc ees where custom-
ers have run out of the store before
finishing their shopping in order to
change the position of their car. And
moreover they tell of customers can-
celling orders for hundreds of dol-
lars‘ worth of goods becauae they
have been and lined. And they
tell. too. of c omers from New an.
san and from Darlen and other out-
of-town places who have declared
they will never attempt to shop in the
Nor-walks again. It's too nerve-
racking. they say.
All of the merchants admit that the
present twenty-minute parking rule
has had a fair trial and has not
.mu to the interest of neither the
merchants nor the shoppers. Many
believe that if the police had m
t. ”g their judgment in the m
and could use more courtesy and is.
lagging. the matter might be taken
care of.
