CONNECTICUT JEWS LEAD IN EUROPEAN RELIEF Connecticut Jews are leading all oth- er states to date in the Unien in their effort to raise $350,000 for the European Rellef Fund, thus establishing the high- est record of giving per per capita. Six weeks ago, Connecticut Jewry was una- ware of its latent force. Today, With headquarters in every city, town and hamlet, with more perfect publicity than any other state, enthuslasm is running high. Charles H. Shapiro of Bridgeport, vol- unteered for the big job. In four weeks, an organization was built up of admira- bl efficiency and results. Every news- paper in the state spoke for this char- ity, editorially, and in daily news col- umas. .The governor issued a special proclamation and every mayor wrote ap- pealing to the community he represented, asking for its sympathy and help. Con- necticut the thrifty, is now kpown as Connecticut the generous. In cvery city, town and hamlet where stores on the Main street are: headquar- ters, are wolunteer secretaries and a most economical ' system of collections has been instituted. The cost is about two per cent., underwritten. by private funds, making the enterprise the first 100 per cent. campaign conducted in the history of national glving. About 500 of the leading men and women became active workers in all the large cities, and from 200 to 300 in smaller town labored unsparingly to raise the funds. Connecticut is leading the United States in its wonderful ac- complishment. It has risen the highest of all, because the leaders, workers and people “Thank God They Can Give” and do give.

Rice was to have been hanged in Washington, D. C. Thursday, for the murder of Wallace Mulcare, an automoblle accessory deal- er, and Detective Sergeant James J. Armstrong in that cltr about a year ago. The reprieve was granted at the re- quest of the Catholic chaplain of the district, on the plea that the young man is not prepared for death. Rice's law- yer told the chlef justice that within the last week he has been converted, and that a week more of life is desired In which to instruct the boy in his new faith. Such an appeal as Rice, or McHenry, made has never been proposed to & president of the United States before. McHenry's letter was carried to the White House last week by Samuel Mc- Comas Hawken,- his lawver, who has made a vigorous fight to save the young slayer from-the gollows. Text of His Letter. The letter McHenry sent to President Harding Yollows: The President, The White House, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: I am condemned to be hang- ed March 10 at the District of Columbia Jail. I ask nothing for myself, nor do I refuse the piea that if I am allowed to live T may be of service to my family, for 1 have never contributed to their sup- a®i with sincers regret I think of the wives and children of the men who haye died through my indiscre- tion. It matters not my relative degree of suilt—their misfortune is dednite. My execution will deprive them of any opportunity of recovering damages from me for what I have deprived them. The amount of these damages cannot be estimated in dollars; my possible earn- ings while in prison for life can be def- initely estimated and these will amount to $100,000. 1 learned a trade at the state prison in Maine; at this trade I earned $60 a week after my release. I am now 24 years old; my expecta- tations of life is 63 and one-half years. Under the executive order which pro- vides for the payment of wages to pris- oners In the Federal penitentiaries based upon the prevailing rate of wages, de- ducting maintenance and figurirg the normal probabilitiy of my life, $100,000 is a conservative estimate. And this without cost to the federal government. This money I will gladly earn by the sweat of my brow. 1 offer now to sign away and other- wise dispose of the total amount of my wages so earned to be diverted among those who have sustained damages be- cause of my acts. Attorneys can so draft thess docu- ments that ther will be binding upon me both legally and morally. I do not argue or pleaa for freedom, but humbly suggest that commutation of sentence can be made to better serve the ends of justice. Think you — a few seconds of patn, and T am gone! The pain I leave after me in the suf- ferings which I have caused has no mi- tigation. T am not afrald to die—I would be a eoward it T did not ask an opportunity to give my life to thus serving the ends of justice.

No Trouble to Keep Skin Free From Hairs (The Modern Beauty) There is no need for any woman to countenance superfluous hairs, because with a paste made by mixing some powdered delatone with water it is easy to get rid of them. The paste is applied for 2 to 3 minutes, then rubbed off and the skin washed. This treatment will rid the skin of hair without leaving a blemish, but care should be taken to see that you get real delatone. Mix fresh as wanted.
