Mr. Wilkins reports being very much pleased with the way the boys are going ahead on their own re- sponsibitity. Other boys in the same class, who were not so far advanced, have beean distributed among the other classes for the present. Not the least important among the various classes in the school is the class conducted by Gertrude Erwin in cooking. This class is limited to five girls, because of the lack of facilities and the expense of provid- ing materials for lessons. Specimens of the culinary art have been turned out in this department during the past two weeks which would do credit to more seasoned housewives. Pineapple pudding is a delipacy ‘which often frightens a bride on her- first cooking lessons, but not these young ladies. Pineapple pudding has been met and conquered, cornmeal muffins are old stories, custards are merely nothing to the class; Englis}} monkey, a feature dish on the order of Welsh rarebit and served on toast, prune whip and baked bean timbals are among the problems of domestic science which have gone down to de- feat before the onslaughts of juvenile enthusiasm and expert instruction. Nut cup cakes was the feature dish this morning. A large pan of these toothsome dainties was drawn, smok- ing\hot, from the oven just as the Rev.! Mr. Wilkins and the Herald rep- resentative entered the kitchen. ' 1t is planned to sell a few articles, such as cup cakes, etc., to those who desire to purchase. The proceeds to be used towards the expenses of the class. Many things in the line of dishes, mixing bowls, bake pans, etc., are -needed and the gift or loan of these articles would be appreclate‘d at the 'school. PETERSON A HERO Former Local Man in Accidemt Later Saves a Drowning Man in Connec- ticut River Oscar Peterson, formerly of this city where he lived on Park street, and now employed in Hartford, rescued himself from the Connecticut river on Wednesday afternoon and later res- cued another man whose helpless con- dition attracted attention from the shore. Peterson and a chum of his were in swimming in the Connecticut river. They were attired in bathing suits. Later they decided to go canoeing and remained dressed for the water. They were paddling quietly along and ap- proached one of the derricks being used on the stream outside of Hart- ford. Fate was at play and the boys were called into the game. Just as their canoe reached a point near the derrick, and without a single bit warning, the mass of steel dropped into the water not many inches from the canoe itself. The force with which it struck the water turned over the canoe and precipitated the two boys into the water. Both were able to swim and made the nearest shore. Hardly had they recovered from tiht little bit of excitement, when another chapter was added. A young man farther down the Tiver was in distress and his call for help was heard. Without hesitation Peterson jumped into the stream and swam toward the drowning man. He grab- bed him by the hair, as he was sink- ing, and with his friend’s aid brought hib to shore thus saving his life. AWARDED COMPENSATION Mrs. Catherinc Burns of Vine Street Is Granted $13.55 a Week for Three Years. Mrs. Catherine Burns of 63 Vine street, mother of Robert! T. Burns who was electrocuted on April 14, 1921, at the power house of the Con- necticut Light and Power company in this city, has been awarded $13.55 compensation each week for a period of 312 weeks. A hecring in the case was given yesterday before the com- pensation commissioner. The hearing showed that the deceased had paid regular board and had also done work around the house, and had made cash contributions to the support of | the family in addition to his regular board. The deceased contributed, $17.68 a week to the support of his mother, it was estimated. The attorney for the Connecticut Light and Power company, set forth that in view of the deceased being only a part owner in the house, the contribution of work should be con- sidered at only one-third of their value. In this the compensation com- | missioner disagreed, and ordered the | above sum paid weekly for the above mentioned period of time. CABINET HAS MEETING.

This bet was for six hundred dollars put up by Attell to five hundred dollars by Hen- dricks, Attell betting that Cincinnati would win the first game. Photographs of cancelled travelers’ checks put up by Hendrcks weére pre- sented as evidence. Attell Too Crafty An intimation that Attell may not have been caught by the gamblers in the third game came when Seys testi- fied Attell told him he was not betting on Cincinnati in the third game as he thought Pitcher Dick Kerr would win for Chicago. Bill Burns, the state’s witness, had testified Attell told him he had lost a lot of money on the third game,t thinking the players would throw it. Seys then testified to paying some of Levi’s and. Attell's bets in Chicago the day of the third game. Seys also identified Ben Levi, brothe er of Louis and also a defendant, as one of the men making bets.

JOSEPHINE ANDERSON AND FAMILY. ANXIOUS WAITING ALL OVER ENGLAND Eyes of Empire Are Turned on Dublin Parliament London, July 22.—(By Associated Press)—The Irish situation today en- tered into a period of anxious wait- ing, pending the annéuncement of Ireland’s attitude toward the govern- ment proposals handed Eamonn De Valera, the Irish republican leader, by Premier Lloyd George, yesterday. The Irish leader sailed from Holy- head for Dublin this afternoon and it was understood the nature of the peace terms would not be published until he had conferred with his col- leagues and replied to Lloyd George. A copy of the government’s pro- posals was delivered the Ulster cab- inet this morning, but its delivery seems to have been merely a formal- ity as Lloyd George made no request for an opinion concerning the terms. The press generally assumes -that the basis of the discussion for a set- tlement will be the present home rule act, since the government does not desire to place itself in the uncom- fortable position of repealing an- other act and Wister is known to be opposed strenuously to a re- peal of the act. It is predicted in some quarters, however, that publi- cation of the governmental proposal will reveal that the prime minister has - offered each section of Ireland dominiont home rule with reservations to safeguard England’s naval and military position. to Richter & Co.
