Rounding the home stretch in its plans for the “Big Bargain Day of the Big Bargain Year,” the committee in charge of the mammoth event reported at a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon that no project ever before attempted in this city has gained the momentum marking “Waterbury Day.” Optimism on all sides Was noticed at the meeting. The city’s leading representative citizens who form the commit tee headed by John E. Bulger of the Citizens Manufact urers National bank as general chairman, and Charles J. Al len of the Connecticut Light and Porter company as chair man of the arrangements committee, learned that every step outlined previously had been followed. A# one of the committee mem ber# put it, "The people of Water burjr will have come to a newer appreciation of the value of the dollar bill after the big event on Thursday.” The purpose of the event is to acquaint the buying public of the city with the fact that so long as the dollar remains out of glrculatlon, so long will the chances of better times remain un determined. The Chamber of Com merce, merchants. Industrial lead ers, banks, public utilities, news papers and in fact, every type and form of business in the city have put shoulder to shoulder in a big push toward making "Waterbury Day” a sensation. Advertising the project, not only in Waterbury. but in surrounding communities, is one way that the committee has attempted to do US part. "Waterbury Day” will be heralded from as far north as Nor folk and south through the entire Naugatuck valley. Bargains, bar gains, bargains will be the cry of the business men of the city on that memorable day to come, the same cry will be taken up by the shoppers as they visit store after store and realize that this project that has been in the making for many weeks, is no mere gesture on the part of those who have the goods to sell. The only thing that will be lack ing in making Thursday, "The Big Bargain Day of the Big Bargain Year,’’ similar to an Armistice Day celebration will be the numerous bands. There will be parades from all directions Just as there were m Armistice Day in '18. The parades and marches will be the shoppers armed with large shopping bags *.o take to their respective homes the amazing buys to be found in the local business Institutions. An armistice will be declared on that day. It will be in the form of a halt on the part of the mer chants and business men from ordi nary daily business methods while the shopper calls a sto., to his dally putting off of purchasing his neces sities. The business man and mer chant meet the shopper on a com mon scale that day. The former opens his atore with the marvelous bargains and the shopper resumes his buying in a real old fashioned way.

HIGH SCHOOLS TO PLAY FOR MILK FUND Thanksgiving Day Game Profits Go i To Worthy Cause Officials Vote Charity Proceeds at Meeting Yesterday —Only Actual Expenses Will Be Deducted From Gate—Tremendous Response Anticipated At a meeting held yesterday in the office of Superintendent of Schools Michael C. Donovan, the principals and athletic directors of Crosby, Wilby and Leavenworth high schools reached an agreement whereby the largest possible share of the gate receipts of the annual Thanksgiving football game be tween Crosby and Wilby will be donated to the milk fund. The meeting was addressed by Presi dent John J. Walsh of the board of education, who pictured the great need of funds for the coming winter to supply nourishment for many of the youngsters of our city who are not receiving all they need, and all that their parents would like to give. He explained that those in charge of the milk fund last year raised $7,000 which was expended for this purpose, and he showed that although the need this year is again going to be great, the difficulty of raising., the fund will beeven greater. He therefore appealed to the principals and athletic directors for assistance in this worthy cause. After some discussion, it was the consensus of opinion that the best way in which ail could help would be to set aside the Crosby-Wilby Thanksgiving day game, as the one on which to concentrate all ef forts to make the school depart ment’s contribution a substantial one. Of course this annual contest is and always has been the game on which both Crosby and Wilby have depended for revenue to car ry on their own athletic activities. The gate receipts on most other games, with the exception of the Crosby-Naugatuck game which is played here only once every two years, are negligible. Although both the Crosby and Wilby athletic associations are now absolutely without funds, their officials nev ertheless readily agreed to take from thins game only an amount sufficient to tide them over this season, and the entire surplus to be donated to the milk fund.

Send me your booklet, without cost or obligation, y-17 Name o^zz::—~.z~z The Crosby WIlby football game on Thanksgiving morning has al ways been the finest high school football spectacle In Connecticut. With both schools massed In the bleachers along the sidelines, with each school represented by its band, with both eheerlng sections singing and cheerlngfl the way no other schools in the state can, this annual game has oecome famous for Its display of the right kind of school spirit and school rivalry, and hundreds of people have turned out each year to witness It. There should be an added motive this year, and one which should pack every inch of space at Hamil ton park when these two high school teams face each other next Thanksgiving morning. With the exception of the amount of money which Crosby and Vilby must hi to pay their debts, every dol lar will go to the purchase of milk for youngsters who cannot pay for it themselves. There may be more worthy motives, but they do not come readily to mind. Those present at the meeting besides Superintendent Donovan and Commissioner Wal i, were Principals Harrison S. Aller. of Leavenworth,- Joseph P. Kennedy of Wilby, Louis J. Thibodeau of Crosby, Louis Laun, James Lee, J. O. P. Manherz and J. Francis Boland. A meeting of the same group will be held within a few days, when more detailed plans will be made to enlist the aid of all in this effort to aid the young sters of this community who may be in need. It should not be forgotten that this whole movement for the sup plying of milk to the undernour ished in all the grade schools (both public and parochial) came from Dr Godfrey, health officer, and that it had from the beginning the enthusiastic approval of President Walsh and several other members of the board of education as well as the superintendent of schools and all the principals and teachers of the public schools. This year again Dr Godfrey was the first to begin to create enthusiasm for the work, and this year too. President Walsh of the board immediately beca.ne interested. It was he who brought the message to the com mittee yesterday and made the suggestion for the plan here out lined. Rev. L.

The Japanese a ..ncement was taken as confirmation of the spirit of conciliation shown by China and Japan during the past 48 hours. It had been understood throughout the negotiations here that Japan's objection to an Amer ican observer was not political, but based on possibly well founded constitutional reasons, the hasty manner In which the council forc ed through Its Invitation to the United States, and the fear that the league and the United States might fores direct intervention in Manchuria, which Japan would never accept. Participation to date of Pren tiss Gilbert, American observer sitting with council, has proved Japan's fears groundless and demonstrated that her rights to an eventful ruling on the constitu tional question are Intact. Importance of the withdrawal of Jo ness anplanes into Korea was Increased by the Tokla an nouncement that bombers would be replaced by observation plane*. Simultaneously. Japanese commun iques to f s council showed a steady withdrawal of troops and the Chinese became leas belllgsr ent.

Two More Lads Sent To Cheshire; Burglary Charged Police Troubled lor Some Time By Actions of Youngsters—Another Arrested This Morning After Store Break—Gets Hearing To-morrow Two more of the gang of young sters who have been giving the po lice no little trouble by their fre quent thefts of automobiles and burglaries were committed to the reformatory in Cheshire to-day by orders of Judge T. V. Meyer. John Sharok, 17, of 96 Hill street who was implicated in the attempt ed breaking and entering of a drug store on the corner of Hill street and Hillvlew avenue Sunday even ing, was sentenced to the rehrma tory. His companion, Sando Splno, 18, of 1278 North Main street was placed on probation for six months. Sharok was committed as the result of statements from the probation officers which Indicated that he has been involved in pre vious escapades. It was Spino’s first appearance in police court. Patrolman Edward Hayes ar rested both youths after witnessing an attempt to force open the door of the store. The accused dented that burglary was their motive. They were merely seeking cigarets and found the door fastened. They shook it to attract the attention of the proprletorfl whom they thought might still be in the store. The finding of a pair of plyers a short distance from the store was the evidence of the intentions of the young men. Rocco Guerrera of Locust street, who claims that he is but 15 years of age, whom the probation officers claml is 16 and whose relatives claim is over 17 years, was ordered sent to the reformatory in Ches hire. He pleaded guilty to being one of the three youths who es caped from the Meriden reform school about two weeks ago and who landed in Rochester, N. Y„ after stealing a car owned by for mer Patrolman Thomas Butler of Wolcott street. Guerrera’s pals were captured by the police, but he obtained money from a relative in that city apd returned voluntarily to Meriden to surrender. The au thorities of that institution, how ever, insisted that in view of his age he should be formally sent to the reformatory. Joseph Llts, 17, of Wood street who was arrested early this morn ing following a "break" in an East Main street store. He will be giv en a hearing to-morrow morning. John Currid of Danbury waived examination and was ordered held for superior court under bonds of $1,000 on the charge of embezzle ment. It was intimated In court that a settlement was likely to be made. A local automobile agency is the complainant. William Whitty. 34, of 35 Giles street was fined $5 and costs on a breach of peace complaint. He was alleged to have struck and kicked a young lad, who annoyed him and some children by throwing acorns. Evidence showed that there was considerable ill-feeling between families involved over the actions of the youngsters. Whitty was at first inclined to take an appeal, but later changed his mind and paid. Prosecuting Attorney Emil Hum mell was ordered to forward a let ter to the parents of the youngsters warning them to be more watch ful of their conduct. The case of Daniel Lowray, 42, of 58 Bishop street was continued for three months. According to Rev B W. Crowder of 123 Locust street spoiled his sermon last Sunday and embarrassed him. Mr Crowder tes tified that he was addressing his congregation and had remarked, "To-day’s text has touched me depely. Yes, I have been greatly touched." And a voice from the outside was heard, "Who the h—1 touched you?" Mr Crowder was unable to continue his sermon.

In the plcturizatlon of the fa mous David Graham Phillips novel, i directed for the screen by Robert Z.

"The Road to Singapore,'1 the first Warner Bros, starring vehicle for William Powell, closing to night at the Warner Bros. State theater, deals with the eternal tri angle, but In a picture of darkly enchanting sincerity, romantic beauty and tense drama. William Powell Is probably the one man who could acceptably portray the role of Hugh Dawltry —a suavely magnetic man of the world dwelling in the Jungle haunted town of Khota, In Ceylon —and quietly gloating over his ability to drink deep and to love lightly. Phlllipa—played with passionate intensity by the amazing Doris Kenyon—comes to Khota to marry a doctor she has known In Eng land. She falls under the spell of Dawltry when her husband neg lects her for his ptftlents—and— but that Is the story. Nights haunted by the drone of tomtoms —the sound of driving rain and the shadowy glow of native fires—add to the glamorous Intoxication of the story. Marian Marsh—newest—loveliest of screen discoverers plays the naive young sister of the doctor. Others in the excellent support are Alison Sklpworth. Lumsden Hare, Tyrrell Davis and A. E. Anson. The story is by the noted British playwright, Roland Pertwee. An excellent surrounding program ac companies the feature presentation.

It is also uniue In the an nals of the motion picture. It has no villain, no one Is bribed to "throw” a game, no one Is kid napped so that he can’t make a spectacular run or forward pass. There are no drinking bouts and no Jazzed-up sophomore hops. But It does contain an emotional elo quence and power which grips the throat, and will force tears from the hardest-boiled realist. It is a picture that can be heart ily recommended.

Father Valantiejus was always a great booster of sports for the youngsters, having St Joseph’s School fortified with a wonderful baseball team in the Parochial loop, ana aiding the K. of L. in staging many social and athletic affairs. It was through his bril liant work that the Lithuanians of this city were able to make such rapid strides, the speaker said. Rev John Krlpas, curate at St Joseph’s church and chairman of the K, of L. social committee, who introduced Deputy Sheriff John Jenusaitis as the second speaker of the season last night, announced that Rev Edward A. Gradeck of Hartford, will be the principal speaker next Monday night, at the K. of L. clubrooms.

It is hoping desperately to make amends in 1932 and therefore is swinging its siege guns into action. Comptroller Salmon is one of the heavy vote-getters on the republican ticket. He always has been ever since he was first elected in 1922. It is not unusual for him to lead his ticket. To pit him against Representa tive William L. Tierney next year in the congressional fight or perhaps against the democratic nominee for congressman-at large seems like good politics, ocnuyier ivier' ritt is also considered a republican reliable, although he fell short last year when the democrats were making history in this state. If his own county and congressional district is going to let him down Ex-Congressman Merritt will have to do considerable retrench ing. between now and September, 1932, if he is to win the republican gubernatorial nomination. However, the effort njay be made in an endeavor to effect a compromise. It is not definite but probable that there will be more than one aspirant for the gubernatorial nom ination on the republican side of the fence. There are Lieutenant-governor Spencer and State Treasurer Wilcox to be considered first of all. Ambition lights their eyes when ever mention of the gubernatorial nomina tion is made. Then there is Ernest E. Rogers of New London. In case the general public has forgotten him. he ran against Governor Cross last year and was defeated. And if defeated republican congressmen are to be considered, how about E. Hart Fenn of Wethersfield who lost the republican nom ination in the third congressional district. It tan't be said there is any dearth of repub lican candidates. All of which should pro duce a unity of thought and desire in dem ocratic circles, namely, to get behind one man come what may. The George Washington Bridge There will be no fanfare of trumpets Saturday when the states of New York and New Jersey dedicate the greatest triumph in bridge building, but there will be a fierce sort of exultation apparent in even the most blase of New Yorkers or their neighboring Jersey ites. The George Washington bridge will be the greatest of the suspension type in the world. How long it will retain this honor it is impossible to say. But suffice it to re mark that when bigger and better bridges are built it will be in America. We seem to have a corner on them just at present. When great structures are planned in other countries American engineers are sought and American materials demanded. A mouthful of figures and facts about the new bridge won't confuse anybody. Those who have watched the new bridge in its construction realize what a marvel of engi neering skill it is. The length of its main span is 3.500 feet, which is just about two. thirds of a mile. Between anchorages its length is 4.760 feet. Its entire length, in cluding the approaches on both the Jersey and New York shores, is about two miles. When the paving is completed there will be eight traffic lanes. For the time being only four will be utilized. Provision has also been made to double this space by hanging another deck below the present one. The huge cables on which so much de pends are only four, yet encased in them are 106,896 wires, each perhaps the diameter of a lead pencil. Who knows how many mil lions of vehicles will pull and strain at these tiny wires in the years to come, yet so skill fully were they spun and then put into place that their age is indefinite. Actually in their making they were stressed to 200,000 pounds, one fourth their strength, for several hoars. No one need have any fear of the wires forming the giant cables, 36 inches in diameter, breaking no matter how heavy a load may be placed upon them. The George Washington bridge is up to stay, a monu ment for future generations to gaze at per haps with admiration, perhaps with scorn as they view their more massive structures. For die time being the Hudson river bridge reigns supreme. Politics and Personalities For a republican administration to have insisted upon the presence of an American at the League of Nations sessions on the Manchurian controversy is nothing short of epochal. It proves, for one thing, that the administration finally recognizes the League the most effective peace machinery in .stence. Almost anything can come out the present international tangle, but this it certain: a League of Nations is with to stay. Even if it fails in this crisis, if the League machinery should decom in this era, the idea will live and must ora again. trhaps the administration's attitude is by a desire to deprive of an international issue in 1932. Ot the party in power may honestly be attempting to undo some of the universal injury wrought by its post-war policies as preached, and practiced by Reed Smoot, apostle of tariff protectionism. Andrew Mellon, apostle of collapsible prosperity, and Herbert Hoover, no apostle, but a pro moter, who as secretary of commerce, spent millions to capture world markets and as president signed a tariff bill that prohibited debtor nations from selling to us and so ob taining money to buy from us or to pay us. Consequently, we have taken about one-half the world’s gold, a duty-free commodity, and thus are responsible for England's de parture from the gold standard and the currency troubles in many other nations. Even the republican irreconcilables are be ginning to cut their international eye teeth. Senator James Watson, republican floor leader and one of the staunchest nationalists in Congress, recently proposed a reduction of war debts and reparations and a ten-year naval holiday, or 25 per cent cut in all navies based on the ratios established at the London naval conference. If the democrats don't get busy, they will be shoved into the comparative position of isolationists! Additional Doctoring The plans for loosening up credit in this country are admirable. They have been ap proved by financiers, business men and the general public. But it would be unfortunate if such processes were taken as a complete solution of our business problems. The effect of more liberal credit for industry, trade, homes, etc, is largely psychological. The mere prospect of more money being available makes everybody feel better, en courages spending on the part of those able to spend, stops depositors from worrying about their bank funds. But merely doubl ing the amount of money in the country, or enabling everybody to borrow twice as many dollars as he could borrow before, is not a panacea for dull business. 1 here was plenty or money and credit in the country when business turned bad. This is just a financial stimulant to pep up business; or to change the figure, a general lubrication to ease the friction. We must still make fundamental improvements in the economic machinery. Some of the indus tries need special treatment by experts. The various industries must have better team work, instead of each going its own way. The system of getting products to the con sumer needs a drastic overhauling. The last word hasn’t been said about wages and prices their proper levels and their effect on the buying power that sustains industry. Capitol and labor are still far from working out a system of co-operation, flexible and fair for both sides. Beauty and Business Retail business in Cleveland started about 15 years ago moving uptown along the city’s famous Euclid avenue. The department stores and elegant shops nearly all went in that direction and their patronage followed. For a while it was a busy, prosperous and happy section. Then a big railroad terminal development began pulling people and trade back down town. It was heart-breaking for the Euclid merchants. Enormous in vestments were threatened. Old, established firms feared bankruptcy. Something had to be done. The uptown stores and theaters have or ganized and decided not to move, not to sell out, not to go broke, but to improve. "We are going to make of this district another Fifth Avenue, like New York’s.’’ they say. "Fifth Avenue has no projecting signs, no overhead wires and no signs that are not supervised. It has adequate trans portation just what we are determined to get and has cleaning service that keeps sidewalks and streets spotless.” Also high standards in other ways. Now it begins to look as if that region will hold its own. A good business section is seldom an accident. If natural location helps it, so much the bet ter. But business values are largely what business men put into their own neighbor hood. Almost any business locally can draw profitable crowds by making itself beautiful and easy of access. Never in our memory has death played such havoc with the Congress of the United States. If it weren’t for the fact that neither party possesses a real working majority in either House the fact might be overlooked but with both parties deadlocked and fight ing for control of the next Congress which convenes in December attention has been centered on the legislative body. The most recent death is that of Representative Ernest R. Ackerman of the fifth New Jersey dis trict. He was a republican and his death again deadlocks the House with 214 repub licans and 214 democrats and 1 farmer labor. The deadlock was broken last week with the election of a republican in the first Wisconsin district where a vacancy had ex isted. However, even this paper margin of one might not have been sufficient to give republicans control of the House when it organizes in December. Mr Ackerman’s death complicates matters for the republican party. Unless something unforeseen occurs between now and the date of convention we feel confident that Representative John Gar ner of Texas, democratic minority leader, will be named the successor to his late friend and political enemy, Nicholas Longworth. The death of Mr Ackerman calls atten tion to the rather remarkable career that was his. He was the type of citizen to whom such legislative duties might well be trusted. He was both versatile and accomplished. He had traveled extensively in his life, having To-day'* Selected Poem A SCIENTIST PASSES (By Lulle Hard McKinley in The New York Times) And how he wondered, queatloned all the vast Impenetrable mysteries—the old. Unfutbomcd secrets; struggled to unfold Vague truths, inscrutable for aeons past! And suddenly—the jealous veil Is oast Aside; and. like a child who strains to hold With eager lingers coveted, bright gold Of sunbeams, these he has attained at last. Blue bolts of lightning for his toys; the rays Of luminous, new light within the Wands That grope no more; familiarly he plays With Intinlte Power—and understands I think that Uod must smile, and look upon Him fondly, and with pride—a favored son I crossed th? Atlantic ocean more than fifty times. It was sad also that he had visited every country in the world. He possessed at his death an umbrella that had accom panied him 760.000 miles. It was to be presented to the public library of Plainfield, his home, very shortly. In addition Mr Ackerman was a philatelist of note. His collection of stamps was valued at $1,000, 000. Through it he made King George’s acquaintance. He had served his political apprenticeship in the Jersey Legislature and served it well, too. We’ll wager that his death will be more of a blow to republican ranks in New Jersey than merely reducing its majority in the House of Representatives. George Bernard Shaw was termed a "li censed charlatan of English letters" by the Rev Edmund A. Walsh, S. J., vice-president of Georgetown university, recently after the Irish writer had broadcast a talk from Lon don a week ago Sunday on Russia. Dr Walsh is well qualified to speak of Russia, as his writings on the subject attest. Perhaps Mr Shaw is, too, as he has visited the country. However, when he makes com parisons with this nation he goes a little too far. Mr Shaw has never set foot in this country. However, if we were Dr Walsh we would disregard George Bernard’s efforts to be funny. The ranks of Shaw followers are thinning. To-day one exclaims, "Shaw?” "Oh, pshaw!” Oaths are coming cheaper every day in Louisiana. It now costs a man only 25 cents to get himself swqrn into such offices as governor, lieutenant-governor, etc. For merly the price was higher—one dollar being customary. Governor "Alfalfa Bill” Mur ray of Oklahoma suggests sending all the unemployed men to Louisiana to take the oath of governor. Guess Huey Long will have to declare another moratorium—this time on public officials. We don’t believe in mediums, clairvoy ants, and crystal gazers any more. We haven’t heard of one who sold stock two years ago to buy it back now at one-third the price. If it comes to the worst in England Uncle Sam might help out by buying a lot of John Bull’s colonial junk. All vehicles must be lighted not later than 5:36 to-night. Personal Health Service (By William Brady, M. D.) Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not disease diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Dr Brady. Address him, care of the Democrat sending stamp and addressed envelope. NOW, LISTEN, YOU POOR BOOBS A reader sends this Silver Star letter: Dr Wm. Brady, Dear Sir: A few months ago I wrote and asked you to send me a pamphlet how to cure the constipa tion habit. I followed your wonderful advice and now have a natural bowel movement every other day, sometimes every day. Haven’t taken a physic since. So you can imagine how grate ful I am to you. I was in a terrible condition. I spent hundreds of dollars for doctor bills and for physics. I would take physics sometimes as often as three times a day. Every new dope that came to my notice I would try, enemas and what not, nothing seemed to take effect any more. I thought I would have to die. So after reading your pamphlet I made up my mind to give it a trial and not take any thing. The first 9 days I was in misery. The tenth day, for the first time in 20 years, I had a natural bowel movement and I believe I’ve never been so happy in all my life as I was then when I realized that I had won the battle. Thank you so much for your wonderful ad vice. (Mrs C. R.) Probably the reason why this habit victim was in misery, as she says, for so many days was that she merely gave my advice a "trial” —a trick she had tried a thousand times before and invariably in vain. So her psychology was_ stacked against her. How she managed to stick' it out so long under the circumstances is more than I can surmise. As a rule four or five days brings victory—if the slave of habit can hold out that long. That s the crux or the problem. Arter nneen, twenty, thirty years or more of bad habit, wrong thinking, morbid introspection, it is not easy to reform in a day. You have to give it a fight. Whether you put up a good fight or a wabbly one depends on your own chearacter or will power, which, naturally, is feeble to be gin with, since you’ve never exercised it in re spect to leaving the alimentary function alone. You’ve interfered with that function habitually for so many years that you’ve developed a con ditioned reflex, as psychologists or physiologists would say, and hence your alimentary appara tus simply won’t function now unless you do something or take something to release the breaks, or as physiologists would say, to relax the inhibition. But never mind all that psychological stauff. It is merely a lotta hifalutln words anyway. If you're a victim of the constipation or physic habit, and if you will undertake to refrain from your usual dope or enema or whatever artifice you habitually employ, for a period of five days, you can free yourself forever from that habit. If I had you under lock and key where I was certain you could not get your dope, I could and would guarantee this result for you But human nature is pretty weak and not many slaves of the physic habit have the pluck our reader had. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Sniilling Boric Add In reply to the inquiry of Mrs A. M. M. about the cause and cure of sinus trouble you said those were two of the things you lio|M>d to learn some day. But you gave me a better an swer than that. Up to a year ago I would “catch cold” every time the wind changed, and my nostrils would block up with yellow mucus. I don’t know whether tills was sinus trouble or not. Anyhow in one of your letters you sug gested "nulling a pinch of boric add powder Into each nostril onee or twice a day. .1 tried It out for several days, and I have not been both ered since. (C. B.) Answer—That was a suggestion sent in by a correspondent, and as I remember it was for simple chronic rhinitis and not for sinus trou ble. I am glad to know you found it helpful. I do not think it can do any harm in any case, if tried out for a few weeks. Mineral Water I inclose tiie report of an analysis of a min eral water. Please give me your opinion of It. I have friends who recommend It, but would like to have your advice whether it Is a “safe and sane” tonic. (O. W. J.) Answer—According to the chemist's analysis the water contains much gypsum and common” salt, with a dush of hydrogen sulphide, the gas that makes bad eggs notorious- Perhaps an oc casional beaker of such water is harmless, but my imagination is not elastic enough to com prehend any reason why anybody should drink such water If plain water is available. Camphor Bags I find that many persons in our neighborhood place camphor bags on a string and fasten them around children’s necks with a sincere belief that Infantile paralysis will be prevented. These fieople seem to Ignore recognised pre cautions against lufection. (B. O, E.) Answer—Yes, they would. The use of the charm helps to relieve their scruples about ne glecting the proper protection Of the children. Going Native I would like to have my ears pierced. Kindly let me know of a competent physician. (Mrs A. H.) Answer—Any doctor can pierce your ears— if he will. There ought to be a luw against It. and another against tattooing except conceal soars and othsr defects.

At The National Capitol DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER A Digest of Who’s Who and What’s What By RODNEl DITCHER NEA Service Writer Washington.—Uncle Sam doesn’t want any stenographers who can't correct mistakes the boss makes In dictation. With 40,000 young women ap plying for some 2,500 federal Jobs as stenographers and typists lie can afford to be choosey and he is. The civil service commission has devised what it calls ‘‘horse sense tests” which are supposed to determine a girl’s ability to use her head. Proficiency at dictation, tran scription and spelling are essen tial, of course, for stenographres Dictation in the examinations is at 120 words a minute for senior stenographers and 96 for junior stenographers. But, as Herbert E. Morgan, the commission's di rector of recruiting, says: “Everybody who dictates stuff and gets interested in his subject and off on a long, involved sen tence may forget the tense, per son or number. A good stenog rapher will correct that, but lots of them give the letter back with out change. A lawyer who dic tates something about a partition suit doesn’t want his secretary to ask him if that’s something lijce a divided skirt. “The typists we want are those who, when copying, will have sense enough to correct obvious errors or palpable misprints. Some times you feel like throwing a cus pidor at them when they explain that ‘That's the way it was in the copy’.” The commission established the “horse sense” test experimentally last year when an unprecedented number of applicants took a steno graphic test. Only a third of the girls passed the exam. About half the typist entrants usually pass. This year the “horse sense” test has been improved. It does seem as if the dumb, gum-chewing type of stenogra pher has been the butt of at least a fair share of jokes, but the commission says solemnly: “Stenographers differ' more in judgment, knowledge of spelling and ability to use English than most people believe.’’ A general idea of the govern ment’s intelligence test may be gained from such sample questions as these, the commission advises: "Read the next paragraph and answer the question that follows it: ‘Just as the procedure of a collection department must De clear-cut and definite, the steps being taken with the sureness of a skilled chess player, so the vari ous paragraphs of a collection let ter must show clear organization, giving evidence of a mind that, from the beginning, has had a specific end in view.’ "According to the statement, which of the following should be true of a collection letter? It should: 1. Show a spirit of sportsmanship. 2. Always be di vided into several paragraphs. 3. Express confidence in the debtor. 4- Be brief, but courteous. 6. Be carefully planned.” Or try this one— "Which of the following is the chief value of a good mimeograph ing machine in an oHice? 1. it affords a quick way of getting out Quotations The big mistake Britain made was in believing she was strong enough to pay for the war.—Lord Rothermere. The capitalist system is breaking down.—George Bernard Shaw. Prohibition is here to stay and you folks will have to take it or leave it.—Luis J. Bacardi. We can’t cry ourselves out of de pression, but perhaps we can laugh ourselves out of it.—William R. Castle, undersecretary of state. President Hoover will be renomi nated by acclamation and triumph antly re-elected, because he has done more to stabilise business and bring back normal conditions of industry than any other man could have done.—Representative Samuel A. Kendall. The queer thing about New York Is that it goes on being new.— G. K. Chesterton. Scrapping of the street car lines of Pontypridd. Wales, Is to be started at once so that municipal busses exclusively may supply eer Ice. form letters. 2. It gives the ‘per sonal touch’ to each letter. 3. It is not as large as the multigraph. 4. It gives the office a business like appearance. 5. Mimeograph ed matter is more effective than typed or printed matter.” Or again— “The saying 'If you know posi tively what you are about, your work is half done,’ means most nearly: 1. Work which is not planned is seldom half done. 2. An optlmisitc attitude is half of success. 3. Complete under standing of a task is a big part of its accomplishment. 4. By the time your work is half done, you should know what you are about. 5. The attitude of the worker is more important than his skill.” Your answers to those three same tests would be five, one and three or you would be suspect ed of being dumb. Besides the ’’horse sense” questions the stenographer exami nations include tests on dictation and transcription, vocabulary, spelling and grammar. TODAY is THE-y AN! GERMAN SEA WARFARE On Tuesday, Oct 20, German warships bombarded Dunkirk and German raiders sank two British destroyers and nine merchant ships. No civilian casualties were re ported in Dunkirk. Sinking; of the ships by the Ger man raiders took place in the North sea between the Shetland Is lands and the Norwegian coast. England’s losses for the week ending Oct 20 included 17 ships of over 1600 tons. Meantime the British began an enveloping movement northeast of Bagdad and drove the Turkish forces in the vicinity of Kizil-Ro bat across the Dial* river. On this date President Wilson Issued a. proclamation specifying Sunday, Oct 28, as a day of prayer for war success, and asked his "countrymen to observe the ap pointed day, according to their sev eral faiths, in solemn prayer that God's blessing may rest upon the high task which is laid upon us. to the end that the cause for which we gave our lives and treasure may triumph and our efforts be blessed with high achievement." Here, There And Everywhere SAVING AUDUBON’S HOUSE (New York Times) In a period when school children are taught to tell a Baltimore oriole from a chewlnk, when the American Ornithologists’ Union spreads knowledge of birds, and when the National Association of Audubon societies Is organized throughout the United States, It should be easy to raise $25,000 to move the neglected house where the master-naturalist lived on tho upper west side to city land, so that it may perpetuate his fame. The estate purchased by Audubon in 1842 on the bank of the Hudson was well outside the city. In ‘ts woods he continued his studies. The first octavo edition of "Birds of America” was published In 1844. Comparatively little was known about the birds of North America when Audubon, born in Louisiana, began to range the woods from New York to Florida, and in the Mississippi Valley, with gun and sketch book. Various attempts tc establish himself in business, or to turn to farming, always ended in expeditions Into the pathless for ests for months at a time. He had an Indian's instinct for finding his way and living in the wilder ness. When two hundred draw ings, the labor of years, were de stroyed in a single night by rats, he went resolutely to work to re place the loss. Love of nature, far more than the thought of gain, influenced him to preserve the fruits of his wanderings by pub lishing the plates of his birds, which he carried about to obtain subscribers. In this occupation he made friends of Herschel, Sir Wal ter Scott, Cuvier and Humboldt, who recognized him as a genius. To-day the house in which Audubon lived on the Hudson is falling to ruin. A few trees about It seem to share its decay. The spot is the dead end of Audubon Lane, which leads out of 158th street. The Jumel mansion, the Poe cot tage and the Hammond and Dyck man houses have been saved, and the home of Audubon should not be a light that goes out. UPHOLDING GAME CONSERVA TION. (New York Herald-Tribune) When the migratory bird treaty act went into effect and spring shooting with its slaughter of game birds on their way to the breeding grounds of the north was abolished, a long step in the direction of true game conservation was taken. The prediction of a speedy return to the ideal conditions that once ex isted in favored areas did not, however, take into account .he handicaps imposed by nature. Dis ease and drought of recent years have taken a heavy toll and ren dered compulsory a shorter open s' .son and a reduced bag limit. That these restrictions, fathered by the Federal government, are not welcomed in coastwise communi ties. where the ducking season is as productive of revenue as any other activity, is seen in pleas to the authorities at Washington for a prolongation of the present open period. One month affords the waterman, who Is often host, us well as guide, scant opportunity to lay up enough to carry him from one period of activity to another. Petitioners had hopes for a time that their appeal would carry weight tn these days of unemploy ment. The refusal to act has, us was expected, ought an aftermath of discontent. That the law will be lived uu to, even by the mal contents, may be taken for ijrunt ed, however, us there has been a growing respect for duly conatitut ed authority In the conservation of game birds in this country in recent years. The average game warden of t day is a different type from the in dividual who played favorites, looking the other way when one of his friends wanted birds or ven ison out of season. That no one has immunity from the restraints of the law is evidenced in the case of an official of a prominent duck ing club in the Southland who killed more than his quota of geese two years ago. He was promptly reported by the manager of the club and fined the limit. There ere plenty of wardens of this type do ing everything in their power to help nature and sustain the game laws. Underlying the present-day con servation situation has been the reckless destruction in the past of game of all kinds. Sportsmen of the present time, while irked an I dhafed by restrictions, honor the ethics of sport. They have the satisfaction of knowing that they are laboring for a good cause. AFTER THE CARNAGE (Hartford Times) Although the past summer lias been an annoying one for humans in the Connecticut valley in the annual battle with mosquitoes and many would prefer to hear no more about It, there is neverthe less, point to the federal gov ernment's reminder that the war to end all such wars has yet to be fought. The department of agri culture has been Investigating mos quitoes and produces some inter esting, even if not very helpful information. To some it may be news that only the female mosquito bites. The male is, from the human view point,'a most civilized creature and Kipling's line applies truthfully that "the Female of the species is more deadly than the male.” The biters go looking for human blood at different times of the day. There are those who look for prey In the morning, others go forth at dusk. If after sunset you have been par ticularly viciously bitten, chances are it was by a Mansonla mos quito, the greatest go-getter in the host. It lives in the grass during the day and It is well to pass over such Infested areas by airplane. The Sylvester mosquito is an In teresting creature. It has not only a keen sense of bloodthirstiness, but has brains In going about to satisfy its craving. Being a small mosquito it has discovered that the ordinary screen mesh need be no barrier if the hungry mosquito will lay aside its pride about flying high, wide and handsome. Accord ingly the Sylvester folds its wings as it dives for the screen and like ly as not will strike an opening In stead of the wire and And Itself on the side whero its prey .ounges In false security. We were disappointed in not learning why mosquitoes leave some individuals alone or at least cannot produce welts with their poisonous injections us pay for the blood taken. We had hoped that perhaps such persons might bo made to produce a serum whose injection might make others im mune to the mosquito bite. Until some effective mosquito preventive Is found this world, with or with out democracy, is not a wholly sat isfactory place to live in. Mean while there remain much land to be drained and many screens to be kept in repair.

At Lakewood park, an ice house ha* been conitructed, games in stalled. grading work done, benches built and innumerable other things done. A road has been built at Fult-.i Park; and in short all parks benefited by the work. In the street department, 200 men have 1 n employed in digging, filling, widening, and grading city streets. Many roads have been Improv d, but the largest project of all made Highland avenue ex tension a 40 foot road and in some sections this necessitated he widening of the road 15 to 30 feet. Scores of streets were widened, cleaned „nd improved. On 1" ent streets through out the city, 4,609 feet of water pipe have been laid by the unem ployed. In the city’s schools the unemployed have been very active and 240 men have been busy. Health work was done also.

You’ll never know how quickly a stubborn couch due to a cold can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, because it gives more prompt, positive relief than anything else. It’s no trou ble at all to mix and costs but a trifle. Into a pint bottle, pour 2% ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to make a full pint. This saves two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough medicine, and gives you a purer, better remedy. It never spoils, and tastes good—children like it. You can actually feel its penetrat ing, soothing action on the inflamed throat membranes. It is also absorbed Into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. At the same time, it promptly loosens the germ laden phlegm. This three-fold action explains why it brings such quick re lief even in those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics. Pinex is a highly concentrated com pound of Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest medicinal agents for severe coughs and bronchial irritations. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded. 'Air THE TALK OF THE TOWN F. W. GRAND BANK TO SO.

Brother Shoots Brother While Hunting Rabbits James Sanford of Beacon Falls Rushed to Waterbury Hospital—Shot in Left Leg The first accidental shooting re ported from a local hospital this season was received to-day from the Waterbury hospital. James Sanford, 23, of 3 Railroad avenue, Beacon Falls, was admitted to the institution suffering from painful gun wounds in the left leg. His condition is not regarded as seri ous. Members of the state police declare that the shooting was acci dental and, caused when Robert Sanford, 2 ft, a brother of the wounded man, discharged the gun. The two Sanford brothers start ed out this morning on a rabbit Wife Of Doctor Is Accused Of Murder (Continued From Page 1) bloody baggage here yesterday. The body of Miss Samuelson. an Invalid school teacher, had been dissected, and, it appeared, quite expertly. Parts of the corps were found dis tributed in the three pieces of bag gage. The body of Mrs Leroi, who roomed with Miss Sampelson and who had been Her companion earlier In Alaska, was not mutilat ed. Bullets apparently caused death. Authorities trailed two women on a train bound for Phoenix to day. but when the train arrived at Phoenix, they found no trace of the woman. After it was found Mrs Judd was not on the train, the search for Mrs Judd swung to McKlnnell’s cabin in Beverly Glen Canyon near Los Angeles. Officers found the cabin had been occupied in the last few hours but neither Mrs Judd nor her mysterious compan ion was there. Remnants of pie and sandwiches still fresh were found. McKinnell denied he had been to the cabin recently. Meantime they had held her brother and obtained from him what they claimed was her story that she had killed the women. McKinnell, a 20-year-old student was questioned for hours before this alleged statement was obtain ed from him. What the "good reason” men tioned by McKinnell hay have been could only be imagined, for he had devealed anything tangible. The only clues the police had were that the two dead women had been neighbors of Mrs Judd in Phoenix. Moreover, according to their in formation, Mrs Judd and Mrs Leroi had been employed In the same clinic in Phoenix. The brother told, according to the police, of going to the station with his sister to claim the bag gage. Baggage men had suspected that the trunks might contain con traband venison and demanded the baggage be opened before It was removed. Mrs Judd and he went away, then, and finally the trunks were opened to disclose the double killing. Meantime In Phoenix, inspection of the women’s apartment disclos ed a ghastly picture. The rooms were bloodstained, and there was a partly burned rug. There was some thought that the younger girl had been killed first, and the sec ond woman, perhaps learning of the details of the first crime, had l.en done away with later. The varying condition of the two bodies might strengthen such a theory, but the fact that the blood had drained from the younger girls body would tend to show different states of preservation, it was said. Hence the theory of a gap in time between the killings would not necessarily hold. Evidence tenaea 10 inuicauc umi. Mrs Judd had shipped the baggage Sunday night from Phoenix for Los Angeles, and perhaps had fol lowed It in an automobile. McKinnell, according to the au thorities, expressed the hope th ;t his sister would get away, adding he wished he could give her money to aid in this. Mrs Judd’s husband told the au thorities, upon questioning, that his wife had seemed friendly with the two dead women -but "she had a terrible temper," though he doubted she was involved In any crime. McKinnell supported the doctor s word concerning Mrs Judd’s tem per. “I woildn’t say she was crazy, he was quoted as saying, “but she has an insane temper.” Her letters lately had been in coherent, he said. When he asked Judd if he knew anything to be wrong with Mrs Judd, Judd re fused to admit he knew of any difficulty. McKinnell was quoted assajdng^^^ SCENE OF CRIME WAS IN PHOENIX Phoenix, Ariz, Oct 20—(U. P.)— A home in a residential section was revealed to-day as the probable scene of the murder of Mrs Agnes Lerol and Miss Hedvig Samuelson, whose dismembered bodies were found in Los Angeles In two trunks and a suitcase. The two victims lived in an apartemtn. Mrs Winnie Ruth Judd, sought for questioning, formerly occupied an adjoining apartment. Mrs Lerol and Miss Samuelson quarreled with Mrs Judd, police were told, and Mrs Judd moved. MIbb Samuelson, a school teach er, recuperating from tuberculosis, *nd Mrs Lerol, an x-ray nurse at the Grunow clinic, had been liv ing together for the past year slncg their arrival from Juneau, Alaska. Search of the premises disclosed blood stains on the floor. A section of burned rug was found in the Are place. Otherwise, the apart ment was immaculate. Mrs Lerol and Miss Samuelson were last seen together at 9:45 p. m. Friday, neighbors said. Mrs Judd, was employed at the Grunow clinic as secretary to a physician. A woman answarlng Mrs Judd's description checked two trunks at the Southern Pacific station Sun day afternoon, signed herself as Ruth Judd, and directed the trunks to D. J. McKinnell, Los Angeles, Mrs Judd's brother. Station agents later noticed a small pool of blood on the floor. Mrs Leroi had been working un der an assumed name, police learn, ed. She was a friend of Hugh In gle, Portland, Ore, aviator during her tifelnlng school period at Good Samaritan hospital. Portland. He Informed authorities that he know her aa Aanea Asa Isaiah. A photograph bearing Ingle name was found among Mrs Le roi’s effects. From Portland she had gone to Juneau, Alaska, where she mar rled Leroy Smith, Ingle said. Po lice believed that her legal names was Agnes Ann Smith. Mrs Leroi, hospital records showed, was 27 years of age and a native of Tillamook, Ore, Miss Samuelson was the daughter of Mr and Mrs A. Samuelson of White Earth, N. D. She was 25 years of age and a graduate of North Da kota State Normal school, Minot, N‘Mrs Leroi and Miss Samuelson left Phoenix during the summer, apparently for Oregon, returning about September 10, authorities were informed. It was then they took the apart ment adjoining Mrs Judd’s. Mrs Percy Brown, wife of the clinic head, told police she looked through the windows of the wo man's apartment Saturday morn ing and saw the place in great dis order. Dr Brown said he received a tele phone call Saturday from a woman posing as Mrs Leroi saying she was leaving with Miss Samuelson for Tucson where her brother was ill. Later that day, Mrs L. M. Fltz hugh, another friend, went to the residence and found the front door propped shut. Peering in the window, she said, she saw the place in perfect order. Police believed that both women were killed Friday night and their bodies placed in trunks Saturday morning. Whitehall, Mont., Oct 20—(U. P. —Hedvig Samuelson, whose muti lated body was found in a trunk at Los Angeles, taught school here for two years, leaving three years ago for Juneau, Alaska, after an attack of pneumonia. She developed tuberculosis in Alaska, Mrs J. Borden, propriet ress of the hotel where the girl lived, said to-day. Dr R. L. Packard, Whitehall physician, whose name w-as found on a check in one of the murder trunks, said he had treated the girl. He said the girl had a brother who is a medical student at the University of Minnesota. Her fam ily lives here. Detroit, Oct 20—(U. P.) —The striking similarity of the names Leroi and Leroy led authorities here to recall the 11 year old trunk murder of Mrs Catherine Leroy to day when they were notified of the slaying of Mrs Agnes Ann Leroi and Miss Helvlg Samuelson. Mrs Leroy's body, shipped from Detroit, was found stuffed in a trunk in a New York express of fice July 23, 1920. Eugene Leroy, victim's husband, disappeared be fore the body was discovered. Police still are searching for him. Buyers Coming From Everywhere (Continued from Page 1.) That there will be bargains in breath-taking quantities is not an idle statement.
