NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1922, i e -~ RELEASED BY CENTRAL PRESS ASSN. READ THIS8 FIRST: Emmy Milburn, at nineteen, wanted to lift herself from the sor- didness of the little street she lived in, to the heights where she felt she | properly belonged. After a party | given by her rich cousin, Marianna, she resolved to better herself some day. Meantime she took a business course, paid for by her Grandmother | Pentland, and snubbed, as well as | she could, Robb Hollis, the boy down the street, who worked in a mill, and who represented the life she determined never to let herself sink into. Marianna tells Emmy she | is going to marry Jim Baldwin next day, and to keep it secret. Emmy | succeeds in getting a stenographic | job—her first position—and is im- mensely pleased that she will re- celve twenty-two dollars a wee She figures it will only be a little| time before she can get an apart- ment of her own and leave Flower street forever. Since Uncle Bill} Parks died Mrs. Milburn has been stopping in to see Grandmother | Pentland a while cach evening. Em- | my tells her mother “You shouid | worry about her—she has plenty of | money | NOW GO ON WITH THE S'l":’RYJ CHAPTER XXVIII Mrs. Milburn came and stood b side her, “Emmy! I don't like to hear you talk like this. You seem to | bave a hard streak in you lately She picked up the little jar of cold cream with its gold-paper label. “And I don't like to see you spoil- | ing your nice skin with this stuff. | You dou't need it, at your age, any more than a cat needs two tails. Emmy lathered on some more of the cream. “Miss Ingham and all the girls at Harbisons’ use it,” said she, “It's so dirty down town and there's nothing but liquid soap in the girls' dressing room. It just ruins your skin, they say.” The next morning, which happen- ed to be Saturday, when Emmy put her sandwiches .nto her slicker pocket she found another small package there—a cake of white Cas: tile soap wrapped in a clean wash- cloth. “I ran down to the drug store last night and bought it,” Mrs. Milburn told her. “T don't want you to start putting things on your face. I don't want you to get that sticky look so many girls have nowada That day at noon Emmy was given her first salary envelope. Her eyes deepening and glowing, she tore open the flap and looked at the twenty-two dollars in crisp new bills. Her own money! On her way down to the dressing room on the floor below, she began to dispose of it mentally. . Twelve dollars to be set aside for a new coat. Five to go to her mother | for board. Five for hersef. Miss Ingham was in the washroom drawing on a pair of eyebrows with a brown pencil over the place where her gwn had been plucked. “Well, I think I'll run up the street to have my halr trimmed anl my nails done” she sald, glancing at Emmy in the mirror that ran along the wall above the wash bowls. “Why don’t you go with me? Honestly, you'd look a lot more kippy with your hair shingled. Your hat would fit better, too." Emmy looked at the waves of burned-gold hair that showed under the brim of her gray felt hat. Yes, it would have more style if it vere pulled down over her eyes the vay Miss Ingham wore hers, Besides, why not try anything once? Short hair probably would give her the air | of dash she thonght she needed. She went with Miss Ingham to the beauty shop. Tt gave her an odd, half-finished feeling to see her shining hair I.ing | on the white shelf and to run her hand over the clipped nape of her ! reck. i “I don’t know whether T like fl; or not,” she said doubtfully. “It's very snappy,” Miss Ingham told her, running her shoe-button eyes over the shorn head. “You looked as old-fashioned as Queen Mary’s hat before, if you ask me!" fhe glanced down at her wrist watch. “Don’t you want to drive down to Richfield with me and my boy friend?” she asked generously. “There's a place to dance and have dinner down there, and it's a lot of fun. We always go somewhere like that every Saturday. It's Field Day for us! Emmy thanked her and said she had to go home. On her way out of the shop she stopped and bought a lipstick. She ,would just try it on her mouth to see how {t looked. Tt looked very well, she thought, sitting In the corner of the Cedar avenue street car, with her feet ‘propped against the stove. Robb opened tte door of the little | yellow house for her. He had been | reading by the fire. | “Your mother and Dan have gone | down town to meet your father,” he | out in the said. “Dan’s going to buy a new suit. . What have you done to yourself, Emmy 2" His eyes went from her painted mouth to her shingled hair as she took off her hat and smiled up at Lim. He shook his head. “I don't like you this way — T hardly know you,” he said slowly. “You're different.” He scemed to sense some change in her that was deeper than just the change in her looks. ‘[ am. 1 am different,” Emmy answered. “I'm going to use lip- stick and cut my hair anl do any- thing else that 1 want to do from now on. You may as well know it. T'm tired of being dowdy and old- fashioned, just as I'm tired of this house and this street, and it won't be many more pay days hefore I'm out of it. So you won't be an- noyed much longer by my looks, Mr. Hollis!" She swept past him and up the stairs. At the landing she turned looked back at him. He was still standing where -he had left him, and he had raised his head to watch her go. “I've seen this coming for almost a year, Emmy, his grave voice came to her. “It'll kill your mother it you leave her. “Oh, don’t you ever think Emmy scoffed at the idea. “If a little thing like my goiny away could kill my mother, she'd been dead years ago. Just think what she's lived through! Think how she works in this place, carrving ashes and coal and dishpans full of washings, never having a bit of help And honestly, she scems to enjoy it. She thrives on it. “She won't thrive on your going away,” said Robb in his quiet, stub- born way. “It'll kill her." He knit his forehead as he often when he was thinking hard. You know, Emmy, your mother al- ways has made me think of the hardy chrysanthemums she raises Jackyard,” he said in his clumsy sensible wa hey keep on hlooming—and then the frost comes and they're gone like that! Emmy went on up the stairs to her room. Her heart contracted with pain and fear for her mother. Then, all at once, she became angry at the though of what Robb had said to her. “He has no business talking to me like that!” she thought. “He's just trying to frighten me so I leave. He's trying lo keep me for himself!™ At five o'clock Dan came ho “Wa missed your father. We weie a little late,” she explained. “And he never likes to wait, vou know. Dan made a most impolite sound in his throat. “We were was just fiv when we got to the and he was to meet and e here Mrs. Milburn and Tt five minutes late! minutes after Public POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN “Ma likes to have a talk with Betty after that rich beau leaves, just to see if Betty's learned what his in- tentions are.” (Copyright, 1928, Puoiimwers Syndicate) AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN | nis mother and Emmy. won't | Yéllow Hgg “Come on, kid, T want to talk to you” “What's the use of Mother? know it. the Public said, scowling. trying to whitewash him, He stood us up and you He never was near Square. He turned to Emmy, a look of fury and disappointment on his square, freckled face. “I wanted to go down to that place on St. Clair street where he plays cards” he said tragically, “but she wouldn't let me do it! I knew he'd be there, doggone it all. And here T am, sup- rosed to take a girl to the high school dance tonight!” Emmy thought of the twenty-dol- lar bill upstairs in the bottom of her purse. She thought of the coat she needed, and of the home of her own that she wanted with such a passion of wanting. And while she was maKing up her mind to give Dan the money, Robb settled the question. “Come on, kid,” he said, his big arm across Dan’s shabby shoulder; “we'll go for a gallop in the struggle-buggy. I want to talk to you, anyway." An hour afterward he dropped Dan at the door of the house and went on up the street in his loooe- jointed little car. Dan was wearing a new suit of gray tweed, and the old one rolled up under his arm. “Robb let me take smackers to pay for thi laying he “He I ought to buy my own suits promise to keep away from Humidor until T've paid him his twenty-five. burn.

MY ALSO BRUNG M |A EXTENSIVE | MOOSE HUNT! “A mother loves all of her children alike, but T reckon she feels a little tenderer towards the one she spanks the most.” (Copyright, 1328, Publisters Syndicate) —_— l YES, MR.PERKING 1S LEAVING SHORTLY FOR THE BIG woOoDS, ON SIGNS FAKE CHECK, TERRY BOUND OVER Southington Youth Held for Superior Court in $1,000 Bond Alexander Belomizl, aged 18, of Southington, was bound over to the December term of superior court in $1,000 bonds on charges of obtain. ing money under false pretenses and tforgery by Judge H. P. Roche in po- lice court today. He was arrested in Buffalo, N. Y., and extradited to this city. He was not represented by counsel and made a plea of guilty, but Prosecuting Attorney Woods or- dered it changed to one of not | guilty. After the evidence was in, Belomizi was given a chance to make a statement but declined. In default of bonds, he was taken to Hartford county jail this afternoon. Charles Gryguc of 250 Grove street motion picture operator at the Pal- ace theater, testified that Belomiuzi, | with whom ke had been acquainted three months or so, asked him to identify him at the City National bank on October 26 so that he could cash a check for $30 drawn on the i Plantsville National bank by J. Ven- detta and made payable to Robert ‘terry. Gryguc believed Belomizi's name to be Terry and went to the bank, where both endorsed the check, the teller, John N. Hancock of 31 Fairview street, requiring them to do so before he paid out the money. Belomizi had told Gryguc the check was in payment for a de- livery of potatoes and Gryguc thought no more of the incident un- til he was informed that the check was worthless and $32.50 including a protest fee had been deducted from his account. He complained to the police. Sergeant P. A. McAvay, who inves- tigated the case, learned that Belo- mizi was arrested in Buffalo and word was sent to the police there to hold him. Mr. Hancock related the incident of cashing the check and told of learning later that it came btack from the Plantsville bank marked “insufficient funds.” He did not know whether Belomizi ac- tually had an account in the bank or not. According to Sergeant McAvay, Belomizi told the police that there is & man named J. Vendetta, but he did not have anything to do with the check.

HALL WOULD RAISE MONEY FOR SEWERS Favors New Policy by City fo Obtain Public Funds Unless there are legal obstacles preventing the borrowing of money in anticipation of sewer assessment collections, Chairman Edward F. Hall of the board of finance and tax- ation will recommend to a special meeting tonight that a new sewer construction program be inaugurated and financed in this manner. Senator Hall said today he has asked Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham to be present at the meet- ing to explain the legal phases of the question. The proposition is unlike any fi- nancial plan lheretofore considered by the finance board. It has been customary to borrow in anticipation of property tax collections in years when the balances from the preced- ing year have not been large enough to pay the costs of government for the first quarter of the fiscal year. This condition is accounted for by the fact that taxes are not due until July, three months after the fiscal year begins. Mayor Paonessa will renew his request that an auditor be engaged to go over all city books and records.. The finance board frowned on the idea when it was first sug- gested several months ago, but the tindings of a special clerk now at work in the department of public works justifies a request for recon- sideration, the mayor has explained. SCHOONER AGROUND New Castle, N. H., Nov, 19 (P)— With her hold filled with water and leaking badly, the four-masted schooner Camilla May Page was ground off Odiorne's Point today. | oast Guard boats were standing by | waiting for high water when an at- tempt to float the vessel will be made, PILLSBURY BOUND OVER Concord, N. H., Nov. 19 (P)—Ho- bart Pillsbu: who resigned recent- be present GASOLINE 15 MADE OUT OF SOFT COAL Soap Also Derived From Same Mineral by German Scientists Pittsburgh, Nov. 19 (P—Ger- many's commercial success in mak- ing synthetic gasoline from goft coal, and incidentally also making soap from coal, to which the Standard 0Oil Company has acquired the American rights, was described to- day to the second international con- ference on bituminous coal at Car- negie Institute of Technology. The story was told by the man who is marketing this synthetic gasoline in German filling stations, Dr. Carl Krauch, director of the German Dye Trust, he was intro- duced by Walter C. Teagle, presi- dent of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. Krauch said that coal gasolinc may be changed in the making at will into *“the most diverse market- ing products, such as kerosene, gas- oil and lubricating oils.” “We are thus enabled” he said “to adapt the process of the fluctuations of the market.” It anti-knock gasoline is wanted, German chemists can control their method of transforming molecules of coal so that certain aromatic basic substances affecting knocks arc properly synthetized. The result is to put into gasoline a molcculer structure that slightly affects the 1apidity of explosion. “At present,” said Dr. Krauch, ve have reached at our Leuna plant an annual preduction of 70,000 tons of gasoline, of which 40,000 tons are obtained from coal. At the end of next year we hope to be able to raise the production to 250,000 tons. The gasoline produced by us has found a ready market for the reason that in all essential proper- ties it equals a good gasoline ob- tained from crude oil in the ordinary4{ way." Soap is produced because the Dye Trust found quantities of paraffin from liquid coal on its hands, with a paraffin market “relatively small.” Dr. Krauch found out how to over- come the difficulties of extractingz trom paraffin some fatty acids that make soap. One of these steps en- abled the chemists to do in a few liours processes which formerly re- quired several da “We have found, said Krauch arious ways of refining fatty acids to such a dgree that, in the judg- ment of soap experts, they stand comparison with good fatty acids de- rived from natural fats." Dr. Krauch said he believes the German synthetic gasoline process is | analogous to that used by nature, | deep in the earth fo transform peat | and coal under heat and hydrogen | pressure into natural petroleum de- posits, Dr. Thomas Baker, president of Carnegie Institute of Technology. who sponsored the conference, fore- | cast “a better and happier economic | and social situation’ for those who live in mining fields, when the in- dustries that arise from lquifying coal are established. 8. “It is conceivable,” he sald, “that some of the labor questions con- | nected with the mining industry will be helped by a condition that offers the population an opportunity te change from one form of labor to another.” Dr. Baker thought the first steps in this country are likely to be es- tablishments of chemical industries at coal fields, piping of gas remain. ing after liquification direct from mines to great cities, extension of coke production, making fertilizers and liquefied fuel for internal come bustion engines. He said it is pos-’ sible that liquefied coad itself may be piped, doing away with trans- portation in coal cars. BOY SCOUT NEWS A Boy Scout handicraft exhibition will be held at the Stanley Memorial church on January 18 and 19 under the auspices of Troop 11 and with all troops in the council cooperating.
