NORWALK, Conn., Feb. 26.—Little ‘Miss Mildred Taylor was the prettiest girl in the town of Westport. Two Years ago her friends applauded the mineteen-year-old girl when she ap- peared in amateur theatricais in Nor- walk and when she played and sang ta Westport. Five months ago they sald twenty- fwur-year-old Erwin Mills, who com- mates to Bridgeport, where be is in the restaurant business, was a lucky @ap to have married "The Kid.” In the mean time Westport Lid gone twice « week to the Opera House al- ‘most as much to hear “The Ki ‘ play - the plano as to ove-the motion Dic-| Writer and Lecturer Declares tures.

Suddenly came the climax three weeks ago ‘yesterday. Pretty Mrs. Mills had celebrated her twenty-first birthday the Monday ‘before at the heme of her mother on Lincoln Ave- nue, where she and her busband had been living. (On Thursday she sald she was go- ing to Milford to visit a friend, Miss May Wigsins. The same evening Miss Wiggins telephoned to Mrs. T: .- lor asking what had become of Mil- dred, for she had never reached Mil- ford. Then it became known that Jeliffe had sold his Mfiterest in the Opera House the night before and had left town. But if Mildred’s mother and sisters and her husband knew nothing of her disappearance, the entire town of ‘Westport did. It was gossip that Mildred and the former actor had planned for some time to go away. Since then nobody has heard any- thing from the couple. “Mildred was stage struck,” her mother. told an Evening World re- porter to-day. ‘Jor several years she had been telling mo she was going ‘qway to be an actress, but we al- ‘ways laughed. “We thought she had given up the stage idea when she married.

Her theory is that the woman who works on the one-atep-ahead-51-per cent.-of-the-load basis will be so busy ehe'll have no time to disrupt things, and that man will admire her too much to try to break away. “Wemen can get anything they want if they will stop fighting and learn te heap oceals of fire,” she declared. “We can burn our way by quietly heaping coals of love, kindness, service, integrity, patience, courage and efficiency on the armor-plated pates of men. One hod of o js worth ¢ of agitation. Men are not asbestos built.” “But it seems to me that women have been in the coal business for several centuries without getting much out of it,” I remarked, NEW GOODNESS MUST BE POSI- TIVE, NOT NEGATIVE. “Pardon me, but you're wrong,” said Miss Powers. “Women have been good, but with a negative rather than @ positive goodness. Health te not absence of disease, peace is not cessation of war. Neither is woman- hood the negation of manhood. All are positive, constructive things to be achieved.” Then Miss Powers epoke with frank enthusiasm of her ideal in marriage and elsewhere — teamwork between men and women, “Co-operation of both man and woman ts the only solution for this mess of entanglements we call human society,” she averred. “Two heads . | are better than one and the one hope te Ea rome tcte tg of solving the riddle is to get the two| may A mixture of ionne: {auinoaylum | heads together.

An overwhelming passion for danc- ing caused the death in the Danse Ia Follies, No. 34 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, shortly before midnight last night of Joseph F, Simons, forty- eight years old, a wealthy retired cigar manufacturer who lived at No. 268 Pulaski Street. Simons was tripping the measures of the fox trot with a young woman instructor in the dance hall when he suddenly gasped and fell forward. The young woman shrieked. The music was stopped and Simons was carried to an anteroom, where Dr. Curtis of the Holy Family Hospital said he had died of heart failure. By means of a card found in his pocket several weeks ago by his wife, who feared fatal consequences might result from his dancing manta, the identity of Simons wan established. The card contained bis name and ad- dress. A message was sent to the house and William F. Zimmer, brother-in-law, went to the police station and identified the body. “Poor Joe,” be said, “How he did enjoy dancing. It was his only recreation.” Zimmer sadd that when Simons was @ young man he enjoyed waltzing, but that his work kept him from indulg- ing bis pession, Recently he found that he had “made his pile’ and was able to retire from business.

Comptrotier Prendergast declares | that the aection of the State Labor Law barring aliens from labor work on city or State contracts, “is againat the public interests, is a species of intolerance and should be repealed.” Governor Whitman and prominent members of the Legislature will be appealed to to-day in an effort to have the labor law so amended that \t will prave harmless to subway and all other big city and St Jobs. So grave is the situation, accord- ing to Chairman McCall, that it may be necessary to appeal to the United States Supreme Court, which will be asked to review the action of the New York State Court of Appeals as quickly as possible, so that the city may be eaved from a jungle of legal tangles and law suite and even prosecutions.

They must either void the contract forth- with or he subjected to prosecution for misdemeanor. “On the other hand if they do void each and every contract on the alien labor complaint being presented to them, the Public Service Commission will place the City of New York in ition of being sued for millions jars in da in case the Supreme Court of the United States reverses the ruling of the Court of Appeals of the State of New York. Tt takes a great deal of time, years |¢ sometimes, to get decisions from tho Supreme Court of the Usited Staten, and pending the procuring of such a decision this Cammission would, of course, be unable to let any further contract. “There are contracts for rapid tran- ait work for $400,000,000 now out- standing.
