 Rain, changing to snow on the coast and snow in the interior to- night and probably Thursday morn ing; colder tonight; much colder Thursday; fresh shifting winds be- coming strong northwest tonight.

Heavy rain was reported from Alabama, Georgia and Florida. An area of high pressure is producing pleasant weather with lower temperature betWeen the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi river. The lowest temperature re- ported was SS, degrees below zero at White River, Ont, where a fall of 60 degrees occurred within the last 4 hours.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity rain or snow followed by clearing and colder Thursday.

BUILDING BOOM IS GRATIFYING

Official information from the of- flee of the building inspector that nearly twice as many buildings have been constructed or are uu- der construction in New Britain this year than during 1924 was not entirely a great surprise, as it was evident to all with eyes to see that the building boom has been ram pant in New Britain as never be- fore.
 It is most encouraging sign, both from the standpoint Of adding to available accommodations for houSo.seekers and also as indicat- ing the confidence that builders have in the future growth of the city. There is scarcely a doubt that similar speed will be evident In the construction of buildings through out 1925.
 There are many persons employed here who live in the surrounding towns and the congestion Of pedes- trians and automobiles in the down. town streets represents the addition of a goodly proportion of persons who are employed in the city but who do not live in it. There are large areas of New Britain not yet built up, and there certainly Is room for all citizens who Of right ought to live here.

IS LEGAL TECHNICALLY, BUT NOT MORALLY

Attorney General Stone after an investigation reported that tho al Ieged action Of an employe of a senate committee in accepting re- tainer for his influence regarding pending legislation was entirely within the law.
 However, technically there may have been no violation of the law; but from a moral standpoint such activity by an employee of sen ate committee Is questionable. It is probable that after the limelight Of public discussion was centered upon the matter that the individual affected will be more circumspect
 Refusal of the department Of justice 10 make public the details of the matter is equally as qucs- tionable as the reported activity of the senate employe. The depart ment of justice is a part of the pub lie administration of the law and should hsrbor no secrets that the public of right is entitled to know about, If the individual inyesti- gated had been some private per- son, and not one identified with the august senate committee. there is little doubt that the department of justice would have made all details public first and investigated after wards.

 A short meditation on the subject of the fair sex, however, convinced him that his judgment was a little too harsh, and he added, mot for year, al least"
 Bottcher permitted his wife to obtain a divorce on grounds Of de sertion, after she had consented to accept s5oO and an interest in prop erty at 2t2S North Keeler avenue as alimOny.

 mas giving, but also that residents of the city and elsewhere have been in position to purchase and distribute gifts to a greater extent than ever hcrNrc,
 The local poy office has been tested more sr>ersly than in any year since construction of the local buildug. Tho lobby has hrcn crowded 10 such an extent that the public has been greatly incon,en- fenced. Tm, has hcon due chiefly to the lurt that the present buiId- ing was nuNpr intended for the de- ycIupmcnt or the parcel post. When Uncle sam tackled the parcel post dapartmeut 10 the regular post oC- flee buildings le was unwitungIy running into trouble throughout The entire country and 1t speedily WAS discovered that most post Of ices in all cities of consequence wore unhttcd to take care of the increased business. It has been necessary to construct additional buildings which has greatly in- creased the governments invest ment. similar building is under construction in New Britain at present. The present Christmas season, therefore, will be the last for parcel post congestion at the local federal building. Next year, according to present plans, it is the intention of Postmaster Erwin to have outgoing as well as ingoing parcel post handled at the Court street structure. It is believed that the public will not in the least be inconyenienced in taking parcels to Court street during the holiday rush - at least, they will not be as in- conyenienced as they have been this year.
 The selling Of stamps and the weighing of parcels post at the same window in the local office this year was a nuisance. It should not be necessary for persons seeking to purchase stamps to wait in the line of persons holding parcels. This ir- ritating feature, it is hoped. like wise will be g thing of the past when the Court street building IS ready for use.

 woolly hair? Who cooks for Santa Claus and
 keeps him well So he can come with reindeer,
