 Mayor Paonessa briefly mentioned his terms as mayor of New Britain. and spoke of his intense dislike of the state tax law that adds nine per cent penalty if the tax is not paid within the first six months. He also severely criticized the 'manufactur- CTS whose shelves are not we'll stocked but who refuse employ ment." The mayor made 1t plain he was not opposed to manufac- turers per Sc: that in a manufactur- ing community they were the main- stays of business. But he said he didn't think that at this time. when many men are out of employment. all of the factory operators are at tempting to keep up their stocks to a high enough level to be of advan- tage to the unemployed. He made it plain his criticism was intended to be constructive.
 The speaker declared it is to the interest of the club voters to get to- gether and work on election day.

Ignoring the efforts of the employ ment directors to restore order. the group of laborers made their de- mands for work in loud tones, each attempting to drown out the voice of the other either in demand or fin supplication.

High School Junior
 Wants to Fly Ocean

Hartford, May 14 Rl-Thomas Supina. Jr.. a junior in the Staff ford Springs High school. has plans for a flight to Rome from Hartford. and then a 19,0o0 mile nonstop trip around the world. At least he had the plans while at Brainard field this morning but may change them in some degree after studying copy of the Con- necticut aviation laws given him by Sergeant George S. Pranaitis, state aviation inspector.
 Supina related his plans to the inspector. the only difficulty seemingly standing in the way being the lack of a ship. If he could borrow a ship he thought he could learn to master it today, but If necessary he could spend a few days receiving instructions. This done. he hoped to hop off for Rome, returning by way of England. and then would proceed to make his round the world jump. making no stops but talk ing on supplies from other planes.
 The state inspector was inn pressed: not so much with the feasibility of the plan, but with the lack of information as to air. planes possessed by the would-be pilot.

TWO WOMEN KILLED
 BY HOMEMADE H0OCH
Mothers Drink Fatal Draught-Survived by
 Nine Children
Especial to the Herald)

\0ptSlAl NU tue t1eIdluJ
 Southington. May 1.-Two wom- on, one the mother of six children and the other the mother of three, are dead today in Southington from alcoholic poisoning. Death came to each within few hours of each other. yesterday after they are said to have drunk the contents of a bottle of liquor. The women are Mrs. Alice P. Helm, age 36 years. housekeeper. employed by Leon Spring of Jude Lane, and Mrs. Frances Domalewski. 3s years. of West street and Jude Lane.
 Mrs. Domalewski died at g o'clock yesterday morning while Mrs. Helm passed away at o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Domalewski leaves her husband and six children while Mrs. Helm leaves three children.
 Medical Examiner Dr. w. T. Nagle and Dr. Erwin s. Bundy, who at- tended the women. concurred in the opinion that death was caused by alcoholic poisoning.
 Constable Thomas Murphy of the Southington constabulary, was noti. fled of the death of the two women last evening and started an inves- tigation. The homes of the two women are on the outskirts of the town on the way to Compounce in the vicinity of the place where the bank robbers were captured last June.
 From his investigation. Constable Murphy learned that Mrs. Dom- aewski has been in the habit of visiting the home of Mrs. Helm and late Saturday afternoon she visited the woman and brought with her . pint bottle of liquor.
 The two women consumed the stuff and shortly after. both became violently ill. Despite medical at- tention. their conditions became steadily worse until they both died. Medical Examiner Nagle found the bottle from which both drank, but only little of the contents was left.
 Constable Murphy found that the liquor was some that Mrs. Domalew- ski had made herself and this elim- mates further search for another person who might have sold 1t to her.
 Mrs. Helm has at various times complained to town officials about the manner in which liquor was being manufactured in the district in which she lived. However, she. at no time would give information of any place where the distilling was taking place.

 The wading pond in Stanley Quar- ter park, itself a favorite project of the mayors, is the source of the trouble. Recently it was announced that boys under If years of age would be permitted to fish in this pool, and it was stocked with hun dreds of fish for the purpose. Later the age limit was raised to 16 and it was planned to have the common council change the ordinance pro- biting fishing on city property.
 With the general assumption that the sympathy which is said to turk in every manly breast for the old stick and bent pin days of fathers boyhood. officials winked at the ac- tivities of youngsters who planned to anticipate the official approval of the new privilege.
