Enthusiasntin the proposition for
1 new railroad station» to:- VVlnnl—
pauk to be located on the site at the
Norwalk Tire and Rubber company
railroad crossing is running high.
The idea expressed by H. B. Wilson.
Sr. of Selr Hill. in which he said
that the considerable danger would
be averted by having a railroad sta-
tion at the crossing. finds backing
in the minds of Winnlpauk and Sil-
vermine residents. There is no ques-
tion but what .the crossing is one of
the most dangerous on the Danbury
line. and will become moreso as soon
as the electrification of the line is
completed by the New Haven road.
Mrs. Thomas W. Perkins of Linden
street declared that a. new station at
the site offered by the Norwalk Tire
and Rubber company would be a.
real benefit to the Winnipauk sec-
tion.
“The present site of the Winni-
pauk station is not a very desirable
one." said Mrs. Perkins. “It cer-
tainly isn't any too convenient. I
believe a new railroad station would
be a great aid in the development of
this section. It is needed."
Mrs. Thomas Brown oi! Linden
street also expressed dissatisfaction
with the present location of the
Winnipauk station.
“The. new site would be much
more convenient to us.’ said Mrs.
Brown. "W’hile we don’t use the
railroad very much. it would be
mighty handy to have it at the cross-
ing. The present site is not very
desirable particularly in the winter
time.’
Mrs. Carl Berglund at Main street
said she liked the idea of having a.
railroad station at the Tire crossing.
“It would be very convenient, " said
Mrs. Berglund. "I think that a. new
station. it doesn't have to be a big
one. would greatly benefit Winni-
pauk and Silvermine."

Cecil— What Speak-
. ers Said
One hundred and any Catholic
women attended the sixteenth an—
nual birthday banquet ot the Court
Cecile, No. 105. Catholic Daughters
of America. held at the Royal James
inn last evening.
We speakers
gram: Attorney
Bridgeport. who
were on the pro-
John A. Cornell of
spoke on "Some
Observations on American Citizen-
ship" and Rev. John Shea 0: St.
Mary’s church. who talked on “The
Eminence of \Vomanhood."
Miss Helen Cahill. grand regent
of the court. was toastmistress. Miss
Anna Carroll was chairman of the
banquet committee, being assisted
by Mrs. R. Y. Griffith. Mrs. Edward
J. Kelly. Miss Margaret Farrell.
Miss Katherine Duffy and Mrs. John
Flint.
A special orchestra. was enflged
for the dinner, assembly singing tak-
ing place at intervals during the
banquet, while dancing was enjoyed
afterwards. Miss Helena Millard
led the singing.
“Womanhood was the last creaé
tivo act of God." stated Rev. Shea
in opening his talk. “Our Lord cre-
ated everything else first—the earth.
the sea, the sky, the air, the birds.
the beasts and man, ,and then with
the late stroke of his brush, he cre-
ated woman.”
Father Shea then went on to quote
from Milton's “Paradise Lost," 'in
which that most famous of poets
claimed that woman was the last
and best of all God's works—holy.
divine. good. amiable and Sweet.
"Far better than I can ever say
or put my thoughts into words, the
Rev. Michael J. Scott has told in his
book. ‘You and Yours.’ the real story
of womanhood." said the clergyman.
“Now. as then. the church turns
to the women for help. It always
will. Many a saint has need-
ed ‘ the help of its women—
been born of a. saint's mother.
“In the home woman has her
greatest chance to express her no-
billty and dignity. She either makes
it or breaks it. and it is in that home
that she approaches her greatest
perfection.
“The father may be the head oi!
the house. but the mother is its
heart. The little child attends school
first of all under its mother's super-
vision. and so much depends on that
supervision. The privileges. the dig-
nitles and the duties of womanhood.
if woman could but properly realize
all these. she would realize the ex-
altedness of her life " _
“But unfortunately, not all of us
are broad-minded enough to realize
and to see clearly all of these things
and. {or that reason. women do not
properly appreciate their heritage."
Rev. Shea. then went on to.dls-
cussin detail the virtue-'0! woman-
hood and just what is necessary for
its proper appreciation.
Mr. Cornell’s speech follows:
"It is provided by the Fourteenth
Amendment to the United States

In Appeals
BRIDGEPORT, April' 16.—~Pro-
cedent was broken before the Su-
preme Court of Errors today, when
Mrs. Minerva M. Davis. attorney-at-
law of Norwalk argued an appeal
from the Superior Court. She is
the first Connecticut woman lawyer
to appear before the Supreme
Court and actually participate in
the arguments. ,
The appeal before the court was
that taken by Edward J. and Sop-
hie Cook, wife and husband of
Norwalk from the jury verdict in
the $30,000 damage action brought
by the Cooks against Abraham J.
Miller. \‘orwalk shoe merchant.
\Irs. 'Cook sued Miller ior $2 5 000
alleging she fell into an unused
cistern in property leased by Miller
to her husband November 12. 1923

and suflered permanent injuries.
Her husband sued Miller {or 35,000
for alleged loss or his wife's ser—
vices and society. In both cases
they claim that the defendant was
negligent. that he failed to‘ pro-
perly cover the cistern when he
built a pathway over it. t
The suits were both heard by 3.
Jury before Judge \Villlam M. Malt-
bie. Verdicts for Miller were re-
turned by the jury and were ac-
copied by Judge Mutbie who later
denied a. motion to set aside the ver-
dicts. Judge Nowell Jennings oc-
cupied Associate Justice Maltble's
place on the Supreme Court bench.
as he was disqualified. because of
the fact that he presided when the
case was heard in the Superior
Court. -

The oelectmen's ofllce is now
busy checking up on the bath house
rentals for the approaching season.
which are to be let out at the same
prices as last year. As the Compo
Beach Life Guards have taken pos-
seseion of their new quarters in a
small frame building near the beach
the town is to construct six addi-
tional bath houses in the rooms
formerly used by the life savers.
This will bring the total number
of bath houses up to 581. 500 being
retained for local residents. and 81
for transient trade.
The second day of the new postal
rates still finds no great change in
the routine at the local post offices.
Yesterday no ditlierence was noticed,
as the new stamps had not been re-
ceived. This morning. however. the
uptown oilice received a. supply of
half cent. and one and a half cent
postage stamps. for use in the new
system of mailing rates. The down—
town oilice has not yet recdved the
bait cent stamps, although they
have a supply of one and a. half
cent.
“Matters are running smoothly
here." said Postmaster Irving BY-

said. “W‘e were prepared for them.

LIVELY DEBATE '
The \\ healer Bill was heard Tue.-
day afar-noon. The hearing was
the liveliest and best attended an.
on any bill this session. Sonati-
Shaw, who is acting Senate leak'
in absence of Senator Cronin, 5-13
the committee had given the hill
“careful consideration." ,.
The conclusion had been reached.
he said. that the bill would not help
in law cutmcement as much as its
proponents thought. He said it. mil
felt that penalties were ample an.
der the present. law .11an there was
power enough in the present law for
a. stricter enforcement by the
stale‘s attorneys. The committee
could not use wherein the bill would
assist in securing that which the
state's attorney. wanted. That was
his personal opinion as well.
Senator Shaw alluded to some 01
the claims made at the hearing in
behalf of the bill and said that if.
was stated as a. fact that, people are
reacting against attempts to enforce
the 15111 Amendment. He said that
the federal government in attempts
lng enforcement and with the state
and federal governments working
together the committee felt that
much more would be accomplished
than had already been done.
it any substitute bill was to be put
in to clarify the present law and
give the state's attorneys power:
they asked for to enforce the prohi-
bltlon law.‘
Senator Shaw said he could not
answer that question. He knew,
that some members of the commit.
tee felt that some changes should
be made in the present law but he
was unable to say whether or not
the minority could get the majority,
to put in a. bill making changes;
