passed, abolish the Direct Primary
and return the State to the days OF
the old boss-ruled Convention. AS
there was considerable sentiment IN
the State against the present metncd
of selecting State candidates, a. group
of progressives drew up a bill pro-
viding that the direct primary be held
as at present; that county officers and
legislative candidates be selected
there same as at present. but that
delegates to a state convention be also
selected at the same time. This plan
of improving the primary system and
removing its defects was submitted
to the Senate Committee but the re-
dictionaries on that body turned 1t
down. They did not want an I'M
provement. They wanted the old
DAYS of crooked politics back again.
PRISON BILL
DEFEATED
The bill having for its object the
employing of prisoners at starvation
wages, on industrial and other pre-
iects. was killed when it failed to
receive the necessary two-lhirds vote
A majority of the house were of the
opinion that prisoners should be put
to work and paid a nominal wage
The arguments in favor of the meas
ure ranged from the sublime to the
ridiculous, some of the members go
ing so far as to solemnly declare tina
putting prisoners to work constitutes
a humane act. 1t did not seem t.

AVIATION FIELD IS NECESSITY

Interest in aviation, stimulated by the success of the aviation meet held here Saturday and Sunday naturally leads to a belief that city aviation field Is necessary for this city and that time should be taken by the torelock and such field provided now rather than later. It Is no longer a question Of waiting until the demand for ite use is more pronounced, as such de- mand is certain to increase.
 The special committee which in vestigated possibility of an aviation field in Walnut Hill park and in Willow Brook park Is reported TO have found neither of these parks adapted to the purpose. This per haps is just as well, as there may be some objection 10 such use Of parks intended for recreation.
 But irrespective of how the aviation field is procured, that one is essential appears to be wide spread and city officials can rest assured that such a move forward will meet with the approval of vir- tually all citizens.

TURKS NOW SEEK TO END
 POWERS OF THE MAGICIAN
Sending Physicians and Scientists Into Interior To Educate
 SuperstitOus
Superstitous

Angora, Turkey, Sept. 25 Pt-To combat the power of the Magician" over the lower classes of the people and their belief in the "evil eye" numerous Turkish doctors are to be sent into the interior of the country where medical science is unknown.
 In the small villages they will en- dcavor to dissipate the superstition of the illiterate Turks who believe the only preventive for disease is the wearing of a blue bead, which nulli- ties the baleful influence of the "evil eye"
 The decision to send the doctors on this mission was decided upon at the first medical congress ever held in Turkey. called by President Mustapha Kennel Pasha 10 discuss medical problems of the country. Five hundred and sixty-six doctors attended the meetings. fThe most pressing of the problems discussed were the control of malaria and in fant mortality.
 While no accurate statistics are available, the infant death rate has been estimated as high as so per cent. It is asserted that the un- willingness of uneducated Turkish women to use the services of doctors Is responsible fo rthis state of af. fairs.
 It was declared that 1t must be remedied as the country already Is under populated as result of wars The medical congress went on record as favoring a census of population and statistics of births and deaths.

CROWD BUSHES TO EXITS
 AS FILM CATCHES FIRE
Excitement At Scenic Theater When Patrons See Smoke And
 Run to Doors.

The loss of a pocketbook contain ing s15 by woman patron and the breaking of a number of seats was the only damage accruing to life or property during a miniature fire panic which suddenly broke out in the Scenic theater last night, send ing those In attendance rushing pell mell for the exits.
 The cause of the scare was film which took fire, sending smoke from the operators booth. Although there was no danger because of the required arrangement of the motion picture apparatus which includes a compartment in which a film might burn itself out without permitting fire to escape, still the crowd, once the picture stopped. suddenly stam- peded.
 A passerhy, name unknown, rang an alarm from Box 42 at the corner of Main and East Main streets, bringing out all the companies of the fire department save Nos, : and $, The alarm came in about 6:26. but the only duty facing the flremen on their arrival at the theater was that of pacifying a thoroughly frightened crowd of theater patrons.

NEW FLORIDA LAW
 AFFECTS AUTOISTS
Only 15 Days Of Grace for
 Conn. Registration

Hartford. Sept, 2S.-Connecticut people going to Florida by automo- bile after Jan. next will be limited in their use of Connecticut registra- ton markers in that state to 15 days. after which they will be re- quired to take out the regular Flor ida registration for the full year 1926, with the understanding that they will be allow cd a refund propor- tionate to so much of the year as remains when they take leave of Florida. Information to this effect is drawn from a letter received at the Connecticut motor vehicle de- partment from Comptroller Ernest Amos of Florida, who calls attention to an amendment to the Florida motor vehicle license law which grants full reciprocity to other states in the matter of automobile licenses.
 The Florida rate of registration is 50 cents per 100 pounds, gross weight. for passenger cars having seating capacity of seven or less, so the fee for registering q tive-passen- ger car wcighting 3,O0e pounds will be $15, of which $1S.75 would be refunded if the registration were 10 be surrendered on or before Feb. l.. A service charge of so cents is charged by county agents from whom registrations may be obtained under authority of the Florida comptroller.
 The effect of the new arrangement | is to eliminate the cause of the diff Iticulty which automobilists from Connecticut and other northern , states got into when attempting 10 return from Florida with temporary | license tags such as were issued 10 non-resdents in Florida last winter. | The state of Maryland refused 10 recognize the temporary license tag and held up hundreds of cars when they reached that state en route to northern points, making 1t necessary for the owners 10 procure by mail or otherwise registration markers from their own states or to take out Maryland registrations to cover their passage through that state. The Florida markers will now be recog- nized all along the route, and will be good in Connecticut for IS days after the automobilists return.
 Under the old system in Florida, however. all non-residents were al- lowed 30 days grace within which
 the registration markers of their
 home states were recognized. Now
 that the reciprocity arrangement has
 been decided upon. the period Of grace will necessarily be determined
 by the number of days allowed the
 automobilists of Florida and other
 states in Connecticut, which Is fixed
 by the Connecticut law at Is days.
 Similarly. New Jersey people will be
 allowed 1 5 days and New Hampshire
 people 20 days in Florida. The
 period in other states varies from 30
 days to a full year.

Bill was smitten. and his job was to show Angeline how much he cared for her. It was new ex- perience for Bill. for Angeline was his first love. He didn't know much about the ropes. but he did know that when her birthday came along it was the proper time to make her tender gift.
 For weeks he had wracked his brain for an appropriate present. Finally he determined that 1t was always safe to give the girl of ones heart a pair of gloves.
 So he went to the store and ask ed for a pair of gloves. This was evidently not quite enough infor- nation for the clerk at the store.
 Well, what kind of gloves dc you want, anyhow? Kid?"
