WARD MALKIN WINS PRIZE FOR TROUT F r a n k Middleton Is Second—Big Catches Scarce—— Association To Have Banquet Ward Malkin is a. lucky fellow. He Was awarded first prize for the largest trout caught in the stocked stream of Connecticut at the meet- ing of the Noxnalk fish and Game Association held last night. Frank Middle-town was awarded second prize. That the open season for trout was none too good is shown by the fact that only two large trout were weighed in for the three prizes of- fered by the association. The prizes consist of a fly rod..a. reel and a fly book. The winners will have their choice of the prizes. Plans for a. big banquet to be held in October were made by the asso- ciation. The banquet will be held in conjunction with the annual meet- ing of the association. A committee was appointed to make arangemcnts for the affair. At the request of the United States Government, a committee was ap- pointed to investigate and send in a. report upon the migratory birds seen around this vicinity. EVERYTHING lS READY FOR GROWS WEAK r GIVES 7 RULES TO KEEP PEACE . IN THE FAMILY Judge Grout in Fair- field Cou rt Urges Couple to Make Up— i Easy to Quarrel DON’T SEPARATE Be Patient—Man Keep Your Temper If Your Wife Loses Hers — Relatives FAIRFIELD. July 19.——Judge Jonathan Grout called upon to set- tie marital differences between James Truisha and his wife yesterday in the Town court, formulated the follow- ing rules for the guidance of the couple as he brought them together again, and advised them not to seek severance of the marriage bonds. Don't call you wife names. It be- comes a habit you cannot break. Don't strike your wife if she attempts to hit and scratch you. for you will find it easier to hit her than not to after the first few times. Don’t get a. separation or a divorce. You'll both regret it. Don’t live with your relatives. Don't neglect to support your wife to the best of‘your ability. Don't be impatient with each other but try to understand each other's motives and be fair to one another. Keep your temper when your wife loses hers. Trusha was before the court on non-support charges, brought by his wife, Rose. . Upon the judge‘s advice that they 'fmake up" the youthful couple left the co‘urtarm in arm. The hearing was continued a. month. Truisha. admitted that he had failed to support- his wife recently. but explained that about. a year ago he was injured while at work. that his compensation had been discon- tinued several weeks ago and that he has been unable to return to work and so had no money to give to his wife. “it's easier to strike your wife than not to do so. after you have lost control of yourself on one occa‘ sion and hit her." Judge Grout said as he reprimanded Truisha. “It is easy to call your wife a. name and the first time. you may feel bad after doing so but after that the name will just slide on- your tongue and hurt you wife. although you think nothing of it. You will find it. so easy to give vent to such expressions that you will be unable to stop the practice, " he said. “The same is true of hitting your wife. Even if a woman loses her temper and scratches and attempts to hit her husband, he should do no more than hold her hands for it’s easier to strike your wife than not to do so, after you have lost control of yourself on one occasion and hit her. He advised the young couple to try to make up and to live away from their respective families. AMERICA BACKS DAWES’ REPORT. SAYS HUGHES (By Associated Press.) SOUTHAMPTON.

You Can’t Get Fat NEW YORK, July lit—"I you would be president of the United States. don't get fat." United States Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York gave this advice today to 3.000 boyscouts in camp on Bear .Mountain. .“Keep your waistline dorm," he .told the scouts. “For “the day of the statesman with the 50 inch gird! els gone. " The reason is simple." he con- tinued. "The public now knows that men are not born fat and that obesity is due to being too indifferent to personal welfare to keep the waist line down. Logic- ally. voters think that if a man is too lazy to care for his own. health, he will be too lazy to care for the public business. So if you would roll up a big vote, keep down your waist line."
