BOOST HOME CITY,
 IS BLACKS ADVICE
Business Forecast Good, Manu-
 faCturer Tells KiWanianS

A plea for New Rritainites to boost New Britain and for d more
 complete realization of the possibi-
 ties of this city vas made by Isaac
 Black, salesmanager of Russell & Erwin at the regular weekly meet
 ing of the Kiwanis club at the Bur
 ritt hotel today.
 MT. Black said that he often
 wondered why more people who live in New Britain did not appre-
 ciate what wonderful opportunities there are in this city and what business possibilities there are here, He spoke of the growth of the city In the past eight years and said some towns have citizens who are dead and still walking around. These people he said are known as Knockers.
 Get thoroughly into your sys- tenn the spirit of boosting" he ad- vised. When you go into a local store and don't find what you want, don't knock the store. Constructive criticism Is all right but knocking Is bad for the town,
 The background of New Britain
 Is manufacturing. Every concern that manufactures anything in this
 town is a representative of Its line In the world and has salesmen who travel all over the world. City Always Goes Forward
 "New Britain has never gone backwards. New Britain has al-
 uays had a steady payroll. There
 Is good deal of pessimistic talk sometimes. Some retail dealers say business is slow, but they are the kind that expected boom times when Coolidge was elected. Boom times
 In this country are a thing of the past. The salesman who has for
 gotten how to sell goods and has
 become simply an order taker fades
 out of the picture"
 Anything that pertains to the building industry of United States affects New Britain. The building industry forecast for 1925 is better than at any time in the history of the country.
 There is one town. that of At- lanta Georgia, that owes it's growth and success to nothing but is boost. ing spirit
 Florida has building boom but tt also has development. Land in the Everglades has been bought for s25 an acre and appreciated in two years to S1,o0o. This shows the pos sibility of development. There also has been a lot Of bunk and hot cir about Florida values that don't ex- tst. There Is sound true actual raule there, however, Industrial Situation Steel mills are operating at an B 1-2 per cent capacity, as com pared to 66 per cent in the last elk years.
 "The purchasing power of the dol
 A2r has gone up. Labor all over the
 country Is earning an average wage
 of 5e 1-2 cents an hour as com pared to a 1-2 in 1914. The dollar
 has 35 1-2 per cent greater pur-
 chasing power than in 1914"
 The attendance prize was won by
 Dr. L. R. Weir, who gave the prize
 last week Next week the members
 of the Waterbury kiwanis club will
 be here as guests of the local club.
 Two weeks from today the club will
 meet with the Boy Scouts at Jobs
 Pond
 Next Wednesday the Kiwanis and
 Rotary Golf teams will clash on the
 Shuttle Meadow links and In August
 the local club will play the Hart
 ford club.

POLITICAL QUESTION
Senator Watson Declares Prohibition Issue Cannot Possibly Be Taken From Politics

totil JULIUS
 Washington, July IS Fl-With the treasury endeavoring to eliminate patronage from dry enforcement, Senator Watson of Indiana, the ad- ministration leader, declared fiatly today that there was no possibility of taking the question of prohibition out of politics.
 I've have long been advised" he said. that the tariff was not poli- tical question, but it has not been taken out of politics. No more can prohibition be taken out"
 Possibility of amending the Vol stead act, Senator Watson believes, rests upon whether the opponents of the law adopt the tactics of the dry leaders in working from within the two political parties. Advocates of modification, he said, had failed to gain substantial headway because they had not committed themselves unalterably in opposition to the restoration of the saloon and had not offered a tangible substitute for the saloon.
 The Indiana senator said con congress at the next session would amend the tax laws, but he would not predict the form the legislation would take. He also expected the interstate commerce committee of which is is chairman 10 be actively occupied throughout the winter in hearings on railroad legislation. He is opposed 10 the enactment Of law for the compulsory consolidation of railroads,

 Much Opposition

Rome, July 15 tPl-A recent large increase in the number of sword duels. most of which end without serious consequences, but also with out pouring oil on the troubled va ters. has evoked a renewal of the anti duel agitation which was checked by the war.
 Opponents of the duel assert that 1t is a silly survival Of romanticism of an era which has long since end cd. They point out that encounters on the field Of honor seldom settle the points at issue and that the swordsmen usually scratch each others fingers CT forearms in their mortal combats.
 Many newspaper articles on the subject have appeared lately and there is talk of reviying the Inter national league against the duel, founded by Prince Alphonse Dc Bourbon but abandoned after the outbreak Of the World war.
