board.

The criticism was not made by
outsiders. but by the superintendent
find by the director of the State
Trade school.

Superintendent of schools of
Stamford. William E. Stark. said:
”I. personally. would not send any
fact my children to attend Glonbrocik
school."

If the superintendent is actuated
lto make such a statement. with his
Vexpert knowledge or the subject. is
«it- fair to ask or demand that pa-
~rents send their children to this
school house? Obviously not. and
yet deplorable conditions are allow-
ed to persist and children's canes-
Itlon‘ continue to be hampered by
them.

It is because school conditions in
"Stamford are not so unlike condi-
"tions here that this matter is brought

The following are Men from the
Sentinel of September 87. 190‘:

"The Second-’Distriet Republican
caucus held last evening in the Re-
publican headquarters in the Quit-
ner building. Railroad avenue dev-
eloped two good clean fights. The
most interesting fight of the evening
was that betwoen James A. Brown
and William G. Crockett for first
Bowsyton and had a large following
selectman. Mr. Crockett had been
endorsed by the Republican club of
of Grand Army men and personal
friends. Untortunktely for him.
however. a good many of the Row-ay-
ton delegates 'were ineligible as vot-
ers in the caucus under the law or
his vote would have undoubtedly
been considerably larger. The other
light on the ticket was between
Charles A. Walters and John r. 130-
gardus for the registrar of voters.
This was won by Walters by a. vote,
of 104 to 54." -

"A very pleasant part! “'88 held
last evening at. the home of Mr. and
Mrs. C. J. Palmer, 17 Elmwood ave-
nue in honor of the birthday of their
little daughter. Miss Hazel M. Palm-
er. Games were played and musxc
was provided for the occasion by
Mrs. w. H. Angeli of New Xork and
by Miss Carrie. Shaw also of New
York. A group picture of the whole
party was taken. during the after-
noon."

"Ernest Malkin has taken a posi-
tion as clerk at the store of the Com-
stock clothing company in \Vail
street." ‘

"Commodore James A. iarrell and
family who have been occupying
their cottage at Hickory Bluff all
summer have returned to New York
city." ‘

"Airs. Lewis K. St. John of Last
Norwalk leaves today for a. Visit of
several days in New Iork."

"Mrs. Stewart C. Marshall has re-
turned from a trip up the Hudson.
stopping at Nyack. Tarrytown and
Sing Sing."

"Miss Lillian Brown of Braille-
boro. \‘l.. has been visiting her aunt.
Mrs. George “2 Bryan of Rou'ayton
avenue."

"'1‘. E. Powers, the cartoonist. and
Mrs. Powers of Norwalk entertained
C. Vt". Johnson and wife of New York
at the Hotel Clifford, yesterday."

“Mrs. James Golden and Mrs.
George Van Alstyne are visiting Mrs.
C. N. Fitch. Rockville. Conn. \Vhllc
there they will attend the county fair.

"Superintendent. Charles 1-“. Mills
of the Standard Oil Company accom-
panied by his wife and daughter.

mont, New Hampshire and Maine."

Fashion note. “The surpllce front
calls for some very natty yokes in
one's house and somewhat dress-y
gowns. it is a popular model and
combines very sweetly with the Wide
girdle which are so generally worn."

such for the belief that the substance

CHAPTER CH.
To Bob the scene was dramatic.
What would Lura say to Donna?
He did not have to wait more than

a second for an answer to the ques-
tion. ’

"Hello. Donie," said Lura. speak-
ing into the telephone calmly.

If he could have listened in. he
would have heard Donna say:

"I thought you would meet me.”

To Bob’s aux-prickly. surprise he
would not have had it he had knowp
woman better —— Lura answered
soothingly:

"I’m so sorry.‘Donie. I've got a
headache -—- and Bo?- just came
home."

Bob came across the room and
stood so that he could look square-
ly int Lura's eyes. then he smiled
and nodded his head forward and
backward. She waved him away.
but he persisted. W’hen she rang
off. he cried gleefully:

"Hypocrite."

“Well. I couldn't say anything to
her over the telephone. I’m cer-
tainly going to tell her what I
think of her when I see her."

“Oh. you’re going to see her?” he
said. artfully forcing her to recall
that she had avowed she never want-
ed to lay eyes on Donna again.

she felt compelled .to laugh.

“Oh. woman! I used to think that
I knew something about them. but
that was before I was married."
he exclaimed.

Donna came over early the next
morning. Luz-a took her hands out
of the dishpan to run to the door
ad greet her visitor. They kissed
each other as usual.

It was Donne. who took the lead
in the conversation. She plied Lura
with questions about her condition.
than .iaunched into a rapid and in»
volved account of her visit to New
York. naming over the shows she
saw and the notables she glimpsed.
She seemed most impressed by the
fact that she dined one night at the
Rita Carlton d observed Norm
Talmadge and er husband.

"She's not as beautiful ab she'll '
in her photoplays.” she opined. “But "

saying. She was surveying her cri-
tically. noting her hair and her
clothes. and wondering if Donna has
always been as unattractive. She
had never noticed until now that
Donle muddled with her hair. It is
in such moments as these that we
learn the moat about people we
know. When we turn upon them
eyes that are seeking faults. then
do the faults appear.

"You must make Bob get you a
maid.’ 'said Donna. conclusively.
suddenly launching into another
vein. “You know that you can't try
to do all the work here now."

Lura told her about Mamie.

"That was no place to go for a
maid. anyway."

Donle's assertiveness. until' now
unnoticed by Lure. irritated her. She
realised that Donna. had always
bossed her.

“I'll get one
announced.

"You needn't. Bob is going to get
one."

Donna laughed.

"You know what kind of maid
Bob will get. I don't mean a pret-
ty one that he can make love to,
either. That happens in the comic
strips."

Lura's nerves‘ were on edge. She
felt an overpowering impulse to
scream "Shut up!" at Donna.

James A. DRAIN.

The problems of ex-service men
are by no means unknown to James
A. Drain. new commander of the
American Legion. Drain is an at-
torney in Washington. D. C._. and
has personally handled the cases of
over, a thousand veterans seeking
aid through the U. 8. Veterans' Bu-
reau and other agencies.

The new commander was born in.
Illinois in 1970. He has practiced
law in Nebraska. Washington and
the District of Columbia. After
serving in the Spanish-American
war, he lost his right hand in a
hunting accident. but espite this
handicap was accepted in the ordin-
ance department of’ the army. where
he served oversees with distinction.

Drain was one of the first depart-
ment. comm action of the legion in
the capital and for the past three
years has been chairman of the dis-
trict rehabitation committee. His
first army experience was with the
W'ashlngton state national guard.

 

WORLD TOPICS

“COMING ELECTION TO‘ BRING
0LT RECORD \VOMAN VOTE,"
8:;le LEADER.

"Election day next November will
see the largest number of women vo-
tors at the polls since the passage of
the equal suffrage amendment." So
declares Mrs. Daniel O'Day. new
chairman for the New York state of
the Democratic national committee.

( "Prohibition is going to bring out
‘ a good cm: of them." she believes.
“for women are realising more and
more that the only way to help an
issue—or to kill it. if that is what
they want to (lo—is to get out and
work for it. The stay-at-homes at
the last election, at least a large
number of them, will vote this No~
ivember. How has this come about?
By our going after those women who
2 do not themselves go after informa-
tion on public questions.

"‘Noman are no longer lulled by
a slogan. Those who are interested
enough to vote. and even those who
are not. want to know facts. You
can't feed them up with sentiment.
“‘hen in doubt they go to some
other authority on political questions
They are sometimes more progres-
sive than the platform they uphold.
but they will support it if they think
it is the best platform presented.

The “Hope” of Today.

"it is this type of woman—the
woman who refuses to be lulled by
a slogan—«rho is the hope of any
party today. I believe that women
voters. with few exceptions. are ask-
ing questions. investigating issues
hitherto bunched under a general-
ity. studying underlying causes for
certain legislative measures and per-
sonally finding out why the individ-
ual should support a. given reform
to a greater extent than ever before.
If it cannot be said that all women
are taking advantage of. the frail.
chise. it can be said that the major-
ity of those who do not feel a deep-
er responsibility toward the privilege
accorded them than do the men vo.

tel.
mores Duty Apathy.

“And while it has been said that
the majority of women are not in-
terested in the. vote. the growing
number of intelligent and busy woo
men who are giving their time and
money to the strengthening of local
political omnisatlons completely re-
futes this statement.

"This Fall will see the largest
number of women at the polls since
women won the vote. And this has
been brought about by the women
who canvass the field and know
personally all the people ‘ in their
districts. as well as by those lee-
turera and other workers who have
stimulated the. thinking of woman
all over the country."

NNER STORIES

At a prayer meeting in a negro
church the pastor was explaining
the pause which tells of the
passing of thc children of Israel
through the Red Sea.

"It is all very simple." he said.
"You know that Water generally
flows down hill. but in this ycre the
stance things war Jus' reversed.
The water. instead of tlo‘win' down
hill. done suddenly flew up hill.
ieabin' the buttons of the sea all
dry. so that all the children oh la-
rael jus' passes ter without eben
Wetin' their feet. Then—"

"But." interrupted a young ne-
gro who had been to college. ”it
wouldn't have done that. pastor. It
Would have been against the law of
gravitation."

"You Jest set down, ssh." an-
swered the pastor. “You don't
know what you are talkin‘ about.
This all happened three thousand
years 'fore the law of gravitation
done been discovered."

When Archbishop Trench was
dean of “‘eatmlnister he delegated
Canon Cureton to preach at the
Abbey on a certain saint's day. On
such days the boys of “'estmlnster
school attended the service. and af-
terward had the rest of the day as a
holiday.

{While Mr. Cureton. on the morn-
ing of the day he was to officials.
was looking over his sermon at the
breakfast table. his son asked in a
tone vibrating with anxiety:

“Father. is your sermon long to-
day?"

"No. Jimmy. not very." ‘

“But how long? Please tell me."

"About twenty minutes. I should
say. But why are you so anxious
to know?"

“Because the boys said they
would thrash me if you are more
than half an hour." .

MORTALITY STATISI'ICS

 

 

The full morality report for the
year 1931. recently issued by the
Bureau of the Census. is said to be
the most complete volume of mor-
tality statistics ever published by
that bureau for any single year. .the
New York Times reports. Among the
new to atures is a table showing in
great detail the changes in the inter-
national list of causes of death made
by an international conference held
in Paris in 1920. and used for the

to the year 1021. Thou changes were
instrumental in transferring many
important dueaees from certain sta-
tistical headings to others.

In making comparisons of mor-
tality statistics relating to years of
the present decade with those of
prior decades. it is m to take
due cognizance of'theae transposi
tions. It would be impbsslble to do
this without the aid of such a table.
and its value is therefore considered
