Russian oil by the English oil concerns cempels the
Naphtha Syndicate to look for other markets. These
markets have now been secured by the Russian Syn

in India (Colombo), and in the Far East (Singa-

Tensation, are to erect a petroleum refining plant
at Baku and credits are to be granted the first to
the amount of ten million dollars, enabling the Sow

undertakings.
On the part of the Americans the chief induce

of this year Deterding repeated his offer to the

MOVIE FANS WANT
 SHOWS ON SUNDAY Petition to ReSCind Town Meet
 ing Vote Being Drafted CLERGY IN OPPOSITION
Ladies Auxiliary Re-elccts All Offi- cers For Second Term-Boys' Club
 Slated For Two Hard Battles Stevens Honored at State Capitol.

Rumors from a reliable source were afloat today to the effect that a petition is being drafted among residents in an appeal from the vote at the last town meeting which con- demned Sunday movies.
 The Sunday movie question has for some time been a bone of con- tention between two factions, one claiming that the opening of motion picture houses here would be an aid to the general expansion of the town and that no theater capital be lured to Berlin with the existing movie law in effect. The other interests claim that Sunday evening motion pictures are not working towards the best in terest of the youth of Berlin and that church attendance would suf- fer if the houses were open on Sun day evening.
 At the last town meeting, the ques- ton came up for considerable argu- ment before a vote was taken. Sun day evening movies in Forestcr's hail. Kensington, had been previous ly introduced and had been in oper- alton some two months before the town meeting vetoed the question and closed the place. Chief among the opposition was Rev. May B. Lord pastor of the kensington Methodist church. who stated that church was better place for people on Sunday evening than movies. First Selectman George B. Carter supported his actions in granting a permit for the movies by stating that the South Congregational church in New Britain held Sunday evening performances in its building. Miss Lord replied that the two picture places were altogether different character and could not be compar- ed. When called to vote, Modera- tor Lester Deming declared that the opposition had the majority. No bal lot was taken and those in favor of tho move claim that a ballot vote would have shown a different result.
 Champions of Sunday evening movies say that in every other sur rounding town, movies are allowed and it is not difficult for movie fans who wish to attend performance on Sunday evening to journey to other places. As Berlin. they state, has been constantly hampercd by the fact that it's population is constant ly travelling to surrounding larger towns to obtain things which are un- obtainable here. the introduction of Sunday evening movies would keep Berlinites in Berlin instead of send-

 On their return home from school Wednesday evening and learning that the boy had been removed 10 the Bristol hospital, they proceeded to the institution and demanded their brothers release. They were permitted to remove him after sign- ing a paper releasing the hospital authorities from all responsibility and took him to his home When spoken to about the seriousness of the boys condition by Mir. Crumb, they informed him that they would probably take him to a New Britain doctor yesterday afternoon. How ever, this morning they got in touch with Dr. H. D. Brennan of this city and were advised by him to bring the boy to the Bristol hospital where he would treat him. Advice from the hospital late today was to the effect that the broken arm had been set and the boy taken back to his home by a member Of the family.

CONTAIN
FINE FEATURES

A new group of Wardman Homes
embracing a distinct departure in
home construction in the Fort
Stevens development has been COM
pleted recently and is to be placed
on the market for disposal.
The houses, containing five rooms
and bath are fully equipped with
every modern improvement includ-
ing, built in garage and front, side
and rear porches. The back porches
are fully screened and the front
porches fully covered which makes
an additional living room both in
summer and winter.
An expensive feature placed in
homes costing far more than the
Fort Stevens homes is the metal lath
ceilings which are fire resisting and
of the most permanent construction.
Due to the rigid fire restrictions that
govern builtin garages the easements
of these Wardman homes are Of
reinforced concrete construction such
as apartment houses and other large
structures are compelled to built
under the law. The corners Of all
rooms are metal beaded doing away
with dusty and dirty corners.
The new homes, although a con-
tinuation of the present Fort Stew
ems development, are additionally
different in design and were built
to meet the demand for more new
homes in this popular and progress
sive community.
The homes are located in Somerst
