Mayor Was Guest
 At Bike Club

Mayor Fred Atwater was the guest of honor at the annual banquet of the Veterans Association of the New Haven Bicycle Club in the Cafe Me1lone in New Haven last night. Mayor Atwater was a former na- tional president of the organization. He made the address of the occasion when he spoke on the old days when bicycling played a large part in out door sports. He also contrasted the old methods of bringing up children with the methods in vogue today, touching on the old customs of allow ing the children to dearn their own games in their own way, whether it be in a vacant lot or in a public park, and deplored the present day illusion that every city must have a recrea- ton department to teach youngsters how to play. Such department was instituted several years ago in Bridgeport and is costing the city s1OO.OOO each year to maintain it, he said
 The purpose of the club is to per petuate the old bicycle days in the minds of it's members who were prominent cyclists in years gone by. The club was founded in 1880 and has embraced a membership inc1ud- ing the names of many of the most prominent men in the country. It has a plot, in Evergeen cemetery for such of it's members as may die with out the necessary funeral expenses. The plot is marked by a large monu- ment bearing the clubs name.

 Russia has not been exploited. She only needs to start to work. She's fars richer than the western countries of Europe. Germany was far worse off than Russia, when the world war; ended, but she started to work. and that is why she will get along.

 ''1t is only a question of time until every man will be using cosm cites.
 "In South America men are using aids to beauty and attraction here tofore employed only by women.
 Would a man today make love to a woman with a red and shiny nose? Certainly not. The time is approach ing when women won't trouble to look twice at a man with a shiny beak.

Deitz Urges
 Support For Valuation Plan

Advocating local support for American valuation" in the new tar if bill, Carl F. Deitz, of the Bridge port Brass Co.,, addressed the mem bers of the Rotary club at their noon day luncheon at the Stratfield yes terday. President H. Albert Phillips of the American Fabrics Co., follow ed MT. Dietz and at the conclusion of his talk George s. Hawley submit ted a resolution supporting the tariff measure which the club unanimously voted to indorse.
 This matter Of American valua- tion incorporated in MT. Fordney's proposed bill which was passed by Congress and an expression of favor able action obtained in the Senate Finance Committee and since then has been the football of our American legislators, is one of the most inn portant issues before the American people in many years" said Mr. DeitZ.
 ."The basis of proper tariff is one of prote ction. If protection of some kind was of any value to the Amerl- can during normal conditions, when he had to contend with cheaper pro- ducts from foreign countries, it does seem more necessary under present conditions when the valuations in foreign countries have shrunk 10 such sm III proportions as formerlly rep resented and the gap between the for eign and American valuation is cor resp ondingly greater"
 MT. Phillips said that a small group of men known as the National Council of Importers and Traders, who made their living purchasing goods in cheap markets and selling them in this country were the ones who were op- posing the American valuation plan
 MT. Hawley's resolution called at tention to the fact that it was be- lieved that the standard of the work inRman would be lowered if the American valuation" plan was not
