NON STANDARD WEIGHT BREAD
 IS ALLOWABLE

All bread sold in Connecticut must be marked with it's true weight in accordance with the provisions Of the statute. but 1oaves of bread so marked may legally be sold with out complying with the standard weight, Attorney General Frank E. HeaIy has informed Superintendent Robert T. Hurley of the state police depart ter 261 of the public acts of 1921. An act concerning the sale of bread"
 1.-The sole purpose sought to be accomplished by this statute is to protect the public i'm its purchase of one of the necessities of 1ife," Attor- ney-General Healy says in his opin- ion, "and this it fully accomplishes by requiring that all bread sold in this state shall be marked with its true weight
 Court Action,
 Attonney-Gene eral Healy's con- struction of the 1921 act is expected to have an important bearing on po- lice action in several cases about the state where dealers have been ar rested for the alleged sale of bread which, it was claimed, did not com ply with the standard weight. Super intendent Hurley of the state police has deferred action pending the con- struction of the act by the attorney general.
 It is understood that recently
 
 to bring court action to test the le- gality of the law, but held their ac- ton in abeyance pendine -+- attor- ney-generals interpretation of the 1921 act.
 Official Opinion
 The opinion of Attorney-Genera1 HeaIy said:-
 "'1n construing the statutes, the history of legislation, while abso- lutely not controlling, must neces- sarily have some weight in arriving at the true meaning of am enactment. In the present instance, this statute as originally reported to the General Assembly, provided for a standard loaf of bread by weight. and also for the sale of bread not of the standard weight by having the same marked with it's true weight in the manner provided in the statute.
 Conflicting Terms.
 By the adoption Of the amend ment, the words and not of the standard weight in section of the act were stricken out, and 1t Is the caused the provisions of the statute to have conflicting terms.
 True Weight.
 "I am unable to read out Of this statute the words except as herein after provided in line l of section 2, or to give the word true in line of section amy other meaning than 1t has in the every day affairs or llIe as DelnS SynOnOmOu5 with the word actual Or to construe the words Standard or marked as used in line 5 of section in any other way than separate and distinct tests that can be applied in determining violations of the statute.
 ''If the sole Ob ject of this amend ment was to have all loaves of bread sold in this state of the standard weight prescribed In the statute. 1t would have been a very simple mat far f< h Str ~ix-Iyn oq r14 ing law the necessary words to have accomplished that result.
 ''This is a penal statute and must be strictly construed, and its terms cannot be enlarged by construction
 Provisions of Act
 Under the statute the standard weight of bread is placed at one pound, one and one-half of pounds or some multiple of one pound. Sec ton 8 of the act (chapter 261 of thu

COUNTY JAIL FILLED
 DESPITE CAMPAIGN AGAINST B0OTLEGGERS

Showing a daily average of S4 in mates, the annual report of the Coun- ty Commissioners. made public today by Commissioner Frank E. Ballard, shows that in spite of the evident campaign against boot1eggers and rum runners, the population at the county institution, the North avenue jail, remains unchanged.
 The fiscal year end September 30. At that time Sheriff Simeon Pease had total of 76 prisoners. A year ago he had 72: Of the number an- swering roll call when the report was made, 65 were men and Il women. This item of the report hardly shows the activities at the jail in a years time, however. During the pc riod 1,270 prisoners were received, and 1,266 discharged.
 Of the total expenditures for the year, which Is s71,446.11; an amount provements and additions to the North avenue property, as well as driveways and sidewalks constructed from time to time.

An amount of s2,- 157.77 was realized by the county on | sales of materials no longer needed | A close perusa1 of the report shows

 Another interesting fact shown by | the very comprehensive report is thai | of the prisoners received during the | year 699 were natives of the United | States. and 571 natives of other coun- | tries. There were fl natives of this | country who were i11terates and 259 | foreigners who could not read o1 | write.
 There were 126 c1assed as habftua, 1 incorporates; 526 were married, and l 4S3 were classified as "old offenders Only 12 of the long list of possible | crimes were missed by the offenders who during the year came under the of the peace was the most common | offense. There were 320 who an. swered to this offense. Cruelty to an- 1 imals, defrauding, and setting fires held the 'fbooby" prize honors, with | one each.
 For assault, 139 were committed | 127 for burglary; drunkenness was | the cause of the downfall of 126 lar 1 ceny, tied with 126; and taking auto. mobiles without the forma1ity of get ting the owners permission caused | 63 persons to come to grief.

 Total receipts Of 5501, ,560.53, with total expenses of ss,O1792, leaving a balance of 12,542.61 is the story in figures of the activities of the Fair field County Commissioners and work County Commissioner Frank B. Bal lard today made public the report, showing business up to and including the last day of the fiscal year, which was September 30.
 An additional amount is due the county from various sources of $25,- 740.54. The largest single expendi- ture item is that of the county's pay ington bridge, which was $165, 900. A loan was negotiated to temporarily bridge this item until the money is available through regular channels. It is probable that taxpayers of the county as a whole will for years to come vote this money as mighty well spent
 The total expense for the county jail was 7s, 9o2-s2. Building and dren, Norwalk were 62,047.41 this amount covering the expenses of all | kinds as well. Never before in the i history of Fairfield county have the institutions for children been sc crowded, a direct result of the indus 1 trial depression.
 i Because of the unprecedented con-
 dition at the County Home a special
 allowance of s25,00 was necessary l during the year. Another kick in the l county's pocket book was the fac ! that not only was no money received | for liquor licenses, a former source
 of much revenue, but in addition s1S,- | 900 appears as expenditures, which h | the amount of the refund to former
 liquor dealers, for licenses that were
 suspended and revoked when the Vol | stead act became effective.
 The reports, which were audited b! 1 John H, Hill and Marshal Treadwell
 carry the signatures of the three | county commissioners, Frank E. Bal | lard, Henry $. Crawford and Charle! Hart the latter of Bethel.

Napoeon's Court Of Cessation takes the
place of the Supreme Court of the United

of last resort in Rumania, which by her recent
additions has been enlarged from country Of
eight millions to of eighteen millions.
The practice of the law has always been
profitable profession, but the salaries of the
judges have been badly out of proportion to
the work they have been forced to do With
the increased number of cases and the neces-
sarily wider range Of law coming under their
jurisdiction, due to the entrance into their do
main of so many differing nationalities, the
work has piled up until the judges have pro-
tested rather vehemently. M Ramceanu, the
presiding officer of the Cour de Cessation sit
ting at Bucharest, is one Of the ablest of Ru-
manian dispensers of justice. In Copenhagen
sits the Danish Hojesteret, or Supreme Court,
with it's chief justice and twelve puisne
judges.

In 1903 Napoleon gave the league a new con-

that are in force to-day. By the terms of this
