they could even try to brave a dash

Terrified on opening their hall

“General delivery service is

“All patrons receiving mail by car-

slots or mail receptacles and keep
the latter in good condition so as
to insure safety of the mail after
deposit. Receptacles should be lo-
cated at the front door. or if the
dwelling is 100 feet or more from the

PARIS. Fob. 19.—-Thc expert corn~

application Commission. according to
information from authoritative quar.
“today. They have decided. it is
' that instead of the formidable

M market previously suggested. a.
inmostgags of approximately 10,000.-
jufiooo gold marks on the German
gas-slim system and other sources of
revenue of the German government
shall form the basis of a. plan by
which the Allied countries. especially
France. will derive regular payments
Eof interest.
The mortgage bonds to be issued
would be a first lien on the railways
and be divided among Germany's
creditors on the basis of the percent-
age adopted at the Spa conference in‘
‘.1920—Frsncc 52 per cent; Great
Britain 26: Italy 10: Belgium 8. with
the remaining four per cent. divided
among the other Allies.
A relatively small international
loan will be also recommended to
help Germany set up the proposed
national gold issue bank. It is in
this loan that American financiers
will be asked to invest, Its amount
remiss to be fixed. but it will prob-
ably not exceed “00.000.000. If the
plan is accepted by the Allied gov»
srumenb a part of this loan will be
offered in the American market.
The proposed montage on Ger-
man resources would not. luvoivd‘ths

The experts express belief that this
plan would create a. real asset which
would be received with accumulating
confidence as the quarterly interest

The bond issue is involved to some

‘INSPECWRFgR
Commissioner Dufiy
Says Residents are
not Obeying State
Law
Street Commissioner Edward J...
Duffy today stressed the need of an
inspector .to enforce the state law in
reference to containers for the col-
lection of ashes and garbage. Mr.
Duffy declared that an inspector oi
this kind, was employed in both
Bridgeport and in Stamford.
"People are neglectfui it; the mat-
ter of taking care of the receptacles
and furnishing the proper kind of
receptacles." said Mr. Duffy. “The
state law says that ssh clue shall
be of metal or metal lined and cov-
ered: it says the garbage cans shall
be of metal and covered. Take s
look along some of the streets some
morning and and out for yourself
what kind of receptacles are being
used? Many times we find the gar-
bage in a dozen small pails each up-
covered. 'We find plenty of evi.
dence where dogs and cats have get-
ten into these uncovered pails. tip

“For my part. I think that every
householder should make it his or
her duty to provide the right kind
of a receptacle." continued Street
Commissioner Dom. .“You don't
know how much a saving in time it
would mean to the men_ who are col-
lecting ashes and garbage.
"I also believe it would be a. good
thing to have .an inspector who
would act as I. foreman of the can
and garbage collectors. When this
inspector found. an improper recep-
tacle. he should paste a notice to
‘that effect‘on the can, giving the
owner of it three .or four days to re-
plsco it. And if it is not replaced.

followed the singing. Hrs. Davis
introduced the speaker. Rev. J. W.
Diggies. formerly of Philadelphia.
Pa... now of Bantam. Conn.
“Political Indifference" was his
subject. In substance, Mr. Diggles
said:
"The universe is slider-lug from a
number of ”ladies. not those in the
ley.f~bItth¢gB./* ., ed by a
minority. Dru-mg 0 presidential
election of 1920. only 49 per cent of
those in this country who are eligi-
ble to vote went to the polls and :x-
ercleed their franchise. People do
not register their votes . None of us
is too good to vote. We wonder
why our country is not properly run
politically. It is because of our
political indifference. which is a ser-
ious thing. The first principal m4
combattlng this evil is to register
ofl's vote. for everything can be
put through if you work and vote
for whom and what you want."
Mr. Diggles then spoke‘ of the
Bloc system. and the dangerous ad-
vunces it: has made recently. 1: ap-
peals to class censclousness. he said.
and tends to array class against
class. The ulltlnate end of the sine
System-1s the end of Democratic
Democratic government. he contend-
ed. If it is allowed to go on. ‘the
Bloc System will end in Dictatorship
here. as it has in Italy and Spain.
he went on and added:
“There are by far too many bills
introduced in our legislatures. There
were seventy bills proposing amend-
ments to our constitution introduced
in Congress last year. This is leg-
islation run wild.
“The most important book in the
world is the pocketbook. and poll-
tics touches the pocketbook. Out
of every $1.000 spent. $100 goes to
the government in taxes. Study how
money .is collected and spent. We
should put an end to political indlf-_
ference. Register the vote."

The Sloan Radio fund is going ;
“over the top" with a great splurge?
Many contributions to the fund canie
in over night. The appeal for “is
bit of sunshine into the life of a ,
faithful public servant" has made
itself felt in many homes. From the .
generous manner in which the good
people of Norwalk have contributed
and are contributing to the Radio
fund. janitor Sloan may be amured
that the tiresome hourse he spends '
in his invalid chair 'will be no:
longer as tiresome. They will be
brightened by a source of entertain-
ment which a few years ago was dot
even dreamed of; songs, music and
talks from the outside world. ‘ ,
It is not only the grown—ups whofi
hearts are touched by the appeal.
for the Sloan Radio fund. It is tho
youngsters as well:
girls of a school age who in all the
joy and freedom of youth still have
a thought for others. This morning
the students at the Center school
took up a collection for the Sloan ,2
each contributing his ,
Radio fund;
or her mite: maybe a penny. maybe
five cents or possibly a quarter.
What matters the amount. It is the
thought behind the gift which’
counts.
“'hen the subject
at the assembly this
Principal Standish. hearty applause
greeted the suggestion. night then
and there, one of the youngsters
jumped to his feet and suggested
that a. collection be taken up ins.
mediately. A hat was passed around
and when the collection was counted
it was found that $3.05 had been
raised. Some of the boys and
girls who were out of funds at the
moment declared that they intended
to do their "hit" and voluntarily
was broached
promised to contribute toward the
fund this afternoon or tomorrow
morning.
“The boys and girls ale very
happy that they are able to help
make bright the life of Mr. Sloan."
declared Principal Standish in turn-_
ing over the collection to The Eye-
ning Sentinel. “It is a. fine human-
tarian project you have undertaken.
The radio will certainly brighten up
the life of Mr. Sloan."
Here's our bit toward the Sloan
Radio fund." said C. Irving Dying- _
ton. First district postmaster. in
turning over 31?. toward the fund.
"Every one of the boys of the Nor-
walk pestofficc contributed and
was tickled to death to do so: to
help so commendable a project."
And then yesterday afternoon,
Charles H. Harris. glass manufac-
turer, gave $10.
"That's a fine thing to do." said
Mr. Harris. “I'm only too happy to
contribute to a cause like this which
will bring happiness and joy into Mr.
Sloan's life. It's certainly line of
the people of Norwalk to get togeth-
er and do such a worthy thing as
this."
Richard H. Golden of Taylor &
Golden. Washington street, visited
The Sentinel ofl'ice this morning and
contributed $5.00 toward the fund.
“I have a radio myself which I
enjoy very much." said Mr. Golda.
“I think that the Sloan Radio fund
is a. splendid thing and I am sure
Mr. Sloan will enjoy the radio."
Not only are the larger donations
coming in, but the smaller ones as
well. The Evening Sentinel re,-
celved a. dollar bill in a. letter signed
“A Sincere Friend.” Another fifty
cents was turned in to a Sentinel re; ‘
porter by another person.
