OF GREAT STRENGTH
Crucible Co, Says It Is Many
Times as Durable ais Ordinary
Product.


By the Associated Press
CLEVELAND, Ohio, February Is
Perfection of new steel, from 10 to
so times as durable as the ordinary
product. was announced here late
yesterday by the Crucible Steel Co. of
America.
a. r. Galbraith. vice president of
the conopanv and general manager of
sales. made the announcement at the
annual sales conference of the central
division of the company. He said the
new steel. known as Fl. Y. c. c., was
first made in the laboratories of the
Crucible Co. many years ago. but that
difficulty in procuring satisfactory
alloys made it impossible to manufac-
ture it in its present form at reason
able prices. This handicap, he said,
has now been overcome.
Mr.. Galbrajth declined to reveal
details of the process by which the
new steel is produced, but said it's
strength had been proved by extern
sive experiments.

THE CHIMES OF NORMANDY

Planquette' romantic comic opera,
THE Chimes of Normandy" was pre-
scented last night at the Wardman
Park Theater by Rollin Bonds Wash
ingtonians." This organization. under
his leadership, gave highly credita-
BILE performance of this rather difficult
operetta, the chorus work being its
outstanding feature. The thorough
training of the ensemble was manifest
ed particularly in its rendition of the
final chorus, which Is severe test for
any group of amateur singers.
The leading role of Germaine, the
lost marchioness, was taken by Elsie
Schulze, soprano who exhibited an
excellent voice in her Interpretation Of
the part. Gayle Hunt, as Serpolette,
the good-for- nothing" made a pleas
ing and lively soubrette, and Agostino
Arancio, who played opposite her as
Jean GrechintuX fisherman did
most of the clowning. and in addition
showed fine tenor voice. The char
acter of Henri. Marquis of Bonneville,
hero of the opera, was well sung by
Harry Myers, and the grotesque part
of Gaspard. the miser, was taken by
Charles Gordon, who showed marked
dramatic ability in its presentation.
The bass of Wesley Peckham, the
Bailli. was especially effective in the
quintet in the second act of the per-
Torrance.
An entr'acte played by Rose Novak
violinist. and a member of the COM
pany,. was well received.
Rollin Bond was assisted in the man
agement of the production by Gene
We've Farnell, stage director. and
Earle Castle, stage manager. The
operetta will be repeated tonight and
tomorrow night at $40.

oil out on the ground.
Reductions in the price of crude oil.
ranging from Is to 80 cents barrel.

 by Divorce and Movie Scandals From America

Rome. Dec. R-Scandal news from American divorce courts and filmdom meraces not only fascist youth but the whole structure of Fascist ethics, declares the news paper Il Tevere in a violent first page editorial today.
 If the flood of scandal news continues, says the paper. We shall have made a sort of New Yorkish cesspool out of Italy. and an ignoble reservoir of shameless women and spineless men. We fear that Italian taste, mentality and morals are in peril"
 Il Tevere then cites a number Of dispatches from America. not ably one declaring that a young girl in high society drinks forty cocktails daily. The paper com- ments on these Samples of journalistic scum from America" that they are certainly below the standard of the goods made in the L. s. A."

ORGANIZED LABOR IS AGAINST WAGE CUTS Officially Protests Any Re- auctions in City En-
 ployes' Salaries

Organized labor today made pro- test against interference with the municipal wage schedules such as has been proposed by members of the salary committee, forwarding a letter to Mayor Weld asking that no reductions be made and suggesting that the pay be increase where pos Sible.
 The letter signed by William C. Sicvers, Jr., secretary of the Central Labor Union. follows:
 Good wages are necessary as an aid to prosperity. The largest spend ing factor in our community are the workers. It follows then that the more which is received In wages, that immediately goes into circula- with our merchants. The money spent pays for the help our mer- chants employ and for the services of our artisans and professional men; it carries part of our bur- den of taxes and has it's place in in creasing property values and Is help ing in making us a better commun- ity. The greater the volume of mon ey flowing through the neutral channels of trade commerce, the better it is for all concerned.
 This is positively true and Is proved by the fact that In commun- ities where wages are highest, the greatest progress Is made in econo- mics, social and political develop ment and in science, art, literature, education and wealth of people gen. erallv.
 Contrast all low wage paying communities and you will find proof of this statement.
 Tt is our opinion that a reduction in wages of city hall employees Is unnecessary and would possibly be followed by a general reduction in wages of the employees of mercantile and manufacturing establishme ents and because of the above stated req sons we hereby request and recom- mend that the City of New Britain maintain or improve the present wage and working standards of its employees"

BIG APPROPRIATION
 F0R CITY IS SOUGHT
S1OO,0O0 for Land and Ad- dition to Post Office in
 Government Budget
BY GEORGE H. MANNING


 l tWashinGton Bureau of the N. 5. Herald) Washington, D. C., Dec. D R- Appropriation of S1Q0,o0O for pur- chase of additional land and con- mcncement of extension and remod- cling Of the post office building at New Britain. under an estimated total cost of s25o,ooO. was asked of congress in the annual budget sent to congress by the president at noon today.
 The S10O,o00 is asked to be made available during the next fiscal year commencing July l. but as public hulIdlng appropriations become aVallabl" as soon as provided by con- ErtSS under the general law this sum can b" used as soon as the treasury department appropriation bill is passed next January or February if the money is needed before July l.
 This item for New Britain will be included in th" regular annual treas ury department budget bill.
 An item of $30O.000 for purchase oN additional land and for extension and remodolling of the New Brit am post office building, of which SHo.buo was to be made immediately available was carried in the public buildings program in the urgent de- hcicncy bin which failed of passage in the tlibuster in the senate in the |, ,lnNlIltr h Nf h., March 3.
 The treasury department pre- suuts no explanation for cutting the New Britain appropriation to s250.- O00 from $S00.o00, but it is supposed 10 be because field inspectors have determined the remodeling and ex- tension job need not be on such a large scale as at first estimated.
 The New Britain item has been stricken from the urgent deficiency bill which will be introduced in the house tomorrow hy the house appro- priations committee, This bill will be q revision of the old bill from the last congress many items being stricken ont where the money is not immediately needed. The new urgent deficiency bill will contain largely ap- propriations for public building pro JectS authorized in 1918. but not car rled out because the sums then made available were insufficient to meet the building cost when they arrived several years later to commence the work.
 Tn" urgent deficiency bill is ex- pected 10 be passed before Christ mas and the treasury department annual budget bill. which contains the New Britain item i'll January or February.
