Regular Monthly Meeting o;
Berlin Savings Bank - Berlin
Court This Eycning-ltenls.

Since the abandonment OF the
trolley tracks on Worthington ridge
In Berlin. there has been constant
agitation for the removal of the
tracks by the residents of the town
who claimed that numerous acct
dents were caused by the rails. Dur
ing the winter, 1t Is claimed, many
GU. of state cars, not knowing OF
the presence Of the tracks. get the
wheels of their machines caught in
the tracks and bad accidents result.
There has also been great agita-
ton by the local residents to have
the space within the tracks filled in
so as to make the road even. The
state highway department which
has charge of the local state roads
stated that 1t will be necessary in
the near future to repair Worthing-
ton ridge completely and by filling
in the space between the tracks the
department would lose time and
money.
Lately, however, the tracks have
risen about an inch above the sur
face of the road due to the heavy
traffic of trucks and present DAN
serous condition. Only a few weeks
ago 4 truck driver lost control CT
his vehicle when the wheels Of the
machine got caught in the tracks
and crashed into a pole.
After careful inspection, the high
way department decided to afford
temporary relief to the road and
yesterday a gang of men started
work placing a paving along the
side of the tracks to make it even
with the road. This will help great
ly in the winter months when the
road is covered by snow. Over 200
feet have been covered up until late
this morning.
Testing Concrete
During the past few days the
state highway department has been
at work testing the quality of the
concrete in the New Britain-Berlin
road which was constructed a little
over a year ago. 1t is reported that
the road has been showing sigEs
of strain during the past several

have sagged. 1t is feared that
should the highway be damaged by
frost this winter. sections Of it will
become unsafe for heavy trucking
and tho continuous stream Of auto
mobiles that pass over it daily.
A chemical analysis Of the ingre-
dents contained in the road is be-
ing made by the highway depart
ment. A hole Is bored into the c.
ment and the powder is examined to
determine whether there is more
sand than cement in the mixture. 1t
is known that = great quantity OF
sand greatly weakens the physical
quality Of the road.
The highway department men re-
fill the holes after completing their
tests and thereby eliminate any pos
sIbiltty of rain soaking into the
foundation and undermining the
highway. All precautions are being
taken to assure the safety of the
road.

CHARGES STATE
PRISON SHIRTS
MISBRANDED
Senator HaWeS Says Appar-
emily No Action Taken
to Stop Practice.
By Times SpeciaE

By IIfpeS Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-"Ap-
parently no action" has been taken
by Indiana state officials to end
misbranding of shirts made in the
Indiana state penitentiary, it was
charged by Senator Halves of Mis-
souri,, in the senate late Monday.
The senate was debating the
Halves bill to deprive prison-made
products Of their Interstate charac-
ter, which would allow Indiana
among other states to limit or forbid
the importation or sale of prison.
made goods made in other states.
Halves called the senate's atten-
ton to federal trade commission
report made year ago, forbidding
miSbranding by the Commonwealth
Shirt Compan yof Chicago of shirts
made in the Indiana state prison.
Senator Golf of West Virginia who
Las announced he will argue against
the bill, asked Halves if he had
called the situation to the attention
of Indiana state officials.
Says No Action Taken
Halves replied that he had, and
Golf asked what action they had
taken.
apparently no action, because I
have communication sent by some
convicts in the (Indiana) peniten-
tiary showing very interesting
facts Halves replied.
"ShirtS are made and branded, for
instance, 'Cownie's dependable gar
ments, DeS Moines, Ia made in
the Indiana penitentiary.
Here is the American Eagle
brand, showing men going to war,
SeWed on shirts sold in lSmy stores,

law in the state Of Indiana.
$50 it goes. In the report made
by the federal trade commission is
the statement that a concern in
small room in Chicago, with great
advertisements, was proclaiming
that its factory was in Indiana, and
that factory was the Indiana peni-
Tertiary"
Want to Keep Market
Senator Fess of Ohio said the
Ohio law forbade competition by
prison made goods, "but we are
flooded with goods from other
states"
Exactly" rejoined Halves. land
the other side of the picture is that
Connecticut, with very successful
shirt factory, is against this bill be-
cause it would destroy her market
in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York
and other states"
Halves also pointed out that these
states and New Jersey with more
prisoners to handle than twenty-five
or thirty other states" kept their
prison populations busy with work
for state use. He estimated the
amount Of prison-made goods going
yearly into commerce at $40,000,000
to $50,000,000. Debate was resumed
today.

TEACHERS TENURE LAW
DECLARED NOT VALID
Judge 7. w. HutchinsOn's Decision
at Brazil Nay BE Appealed.
BIZ United Press

bU Ohtte6 PTeSS
BRAZIL, Ind, Dec. 18-The
teachers tenure law as passed by
the 1927 Indiana legislature was
held unconstitutional by Judge T.
w. Hutchinson in Clay circuit court
here in a mandamuS suit brought
by Miss Emma Ratliff against
Trustee Lee Ringe of Dick Johnson
township.
Miss Ratliff pointed out that she
had been employed in the township
schools fourteen years and when
Ringo selected his staff Of teachers
for the ensuing year he omitted her
name. The tenure law insured a
teacher a lifetime position unless
removed for cause. Miss Ratliff
alleged that Ringo omitted her be-
cause she would have been eligible
for a life position.
Miss Ratliff in her suit asked the
court to order Ringo to assign her
to one of the township schools. 1t
is considered likely that the de-
PENDANT would appeal to the In
diana supreme court.

- wards giant varsity crew stroked
It's shell across the finish line
i three quarters of a length
ahead Of Pennsylvania and
three lengths more ahead Of the Navy
to win the triangular rowing regatta
on the Schuylkill this afternoon and
keep the Crimson seasons record clear
of defeat
1t was the first reverse OF the year
for the Midshipman eight. The sur
prise of the day was the great showing
of Penn. which showed its stern to the
Middies by two full lengths of open
water and went one to give the huge
sons of Harvard the row of their life
the last ree-fourths of mile.
Penns challenge came as the hard
rowing three passed under the trolley
bridge that marks the halfway point.
There Bill Taeffncr, Penn's newly dis
covered stroke oar. picked up the beat
and the Red and Blue bow edged up
and even to the flying Harvard prov.
In answer came burst of speed from
the Harvard hus2ies, who averaged l35
pounds. Rowing short strokes loaded
with driving power. they picked up the
beat TO 3S per minute. The rally told
and Penn dropped back a trifle, al
though pressing Harvard TO the limit
to the finish mark. Navy was never
in 1t, getting away from the stake boats
last and trailing throughout.
Weight counted in the pinch and 1t
was eight good big men that beat eight
good smaller ones in that final rush for
the finish line. Penn shot the stroke
up to the limit then, but it was to no
avail
Harvard's victory brought wild ova-
ton from several thousand spectators
who lined the shore at the finish, in
cluding many Harvard alumni here in
annual convention.
It was a day of triumph for Penn,
too. for not since 1923 has a Pennsyl-
vania varsity eight given the Navy its
wash Coacn Glcndon's crew has been
subjected to many changes in seating
and was rowing as the junior varsity
