vare's struggle to gain his seat in tho senate.
 William s. Adams. whose petitions for tho nomination are being circu- lated, said he had the backing ot Mir. strassburzer. but that if the publisher decided to become a cah- didate he would withdraw in his favor. Adams added that either he or Strassburger would be in the fight to finish against Reed on a wet platform.
 Mir, Strassburgcr is in Europe. No announcement has come either from Stra ssburger or Pinchot, who was defeated in the three cornered con- test two years ago against Ware and former Senator George Wharton Pepper. Agents of the former gov ernor, however, recently have can yassed the state. presumably to sound out sentiment among his sup. porters as to the advisability of hfs entering the contest.
 Strassburgcr was mentioned as a possible selection by the Mellon leadership for delegate-at-large to the republican national convention, but apparently he has been dropped in favor of Secretary of Labor James J. Davis.

R0RABACK, AT MCKINLEY DINNER,
 DENIES CONN. WILL BACK SMITH
Does Not Mention New Yorker by Name, But Leaves
 No Doubt as to Whom He Referred

Bridgeport, Feb. R = If "a certain man" whom everyone pres ent construed to mean Governor Alfred F.. Smith of New York, is nominated by the democrats for president. the republican candidate, whoever he may be, will carry Con- necticut by 75.00O votes. Republican State Chairman J. Henry Rora back predicted in an address last night at the annual dinner of the Con- necticut Mckinley association at the Stratfcrd hotel where more than l. 900 republicans from all parts of the state assembled.
 The dinner. the formal purpose of which was to pay the' annual token of homage to William Nc kinley, martyred president of the United States. was distinguished by informal gatherings of republican leaders of high and low degree, at (which party plans in connection with the 1928 campaign apparently were discussed.
 A. tremendous cheer went up when Republican Leader Roraback said, We are preparing to nominate a president; our opponents are do- ing the same. It is said that if a certain man Is nominated by tn- democrats. we will have a close time in Connecticut There's noth- ing to if. If my judgment is any good. no man nominated by the democrats will come within 75,000 votes Of carrying the state"

AL len, Hartford. treasurer. and Clar- ence G. Willard. New Haven. re- tained as permanent secretary. READ HE'R AI,n CC,ACC1EYErn ADS

bushels of bread is required to

and other things in proportion.
Now that Christmas time is ap-
preaching and many of these
children have never heard of
Santa Claus nor have they ever
had the actual necessities of life
provided for them, we thought
there might be some other
friends who would be glad to
share with these motherless and
homeless little ones and if they
did send even a modest contribu-
ton, it would be received and ap-
piled to make these little lives
more happy and joyous. In round

teen hundred children, who are
our wards.

stetrical deliveries, thirty-two
thousand outpatient clinic visits,
and eight thousand visits to the
dental infirmary.
2 This record in service to sick
persons covers the various bran
ches of medicine, surgery, and
dentistry, and represents approx
imately a twenty-five per cent
increase in volume of work over
any previous year. This indicat-
es, it is believed, a growing tend
ency on the part of the public
to look to medical centers for
supplying health care. At the
same time such centers are being
taxed to the limit in order to
meet these demands, it is said.
At the Medical College of Vir.
ginia another new record for
service is expected to be set dur
ing the current year, as indicted
by the patronage of it's hospitals
and clinics thus far during the
