named Frank Holtz who resides on Main street in this city. The factory, already controlled by incorporators. will be situated on Terryville road near Barlow street.
 It is planned to obtain sufficient equipment to turn out 100 tons of these pressed briquets a day The firm will be known as the Carbonized Coal company.
 According to Mir. Eacca the back CTS of the project have possession of new formulas that will increase the amount of heat obtaina ble from the briquets and reduce the amount of ash.
 Thousands of tons of briqucts have been made by other companies, Mir. Vacca said, but he and his asso- ciates have a new binder that will give them an advantage in the man. ufacture. Tests over period of two years have shown to 20 per cent less ashes and to 20 per cent more available heat in briquets made with this formula, he said.
 Anthracite coal burned in domes- tic use leaves from IS to 70 per cent Of carbon in the ashes and clnkers, Mir. Nacca said, while in the new briquet to per cent of uncon- sumed carbon is left in the ashes.
 It Is the plan Of the new company to gather coal dust from the local yards and from those in other cities. The New Haven and Bridgeport plants will have a capacity of 500 tons day and the dust will be ship ped to these points by water.
 It is understood that a number of local men will became affiliated with MT. Vacca in conducting the busi- ness of the new company.
 The first briqueting plants were built in France in 184o. in Germany in 1861 and in America in 1871.
 It is claimed that briquetine in this country has been very slow on account cf the enormous coal de- posits here and because there never was a binder produced cheap enough to manufacture them on a. profit able basis
 Endees Lose Opener, 3f to 27
 Facing an aggregation of youne- sters who were in prime physical condition for the fray. the Bristol New Departures stumbled badly in their initial test of the season and were taken over the hurdles, Sl to v, at the armory Saturday night by the Alumni All-Stars. a quintet con- prisng former local high school bas- keteers. About 800 customers turned out to witness the tilt and were startled to see the former pupils of Tommy Monahan crash through on the winning end Of the score sheet.
 The Alumni com bination demon- stratcd by its performance that team work is one of the principal essentials for success in the court pastime. Flashing almost perfect teamwork and o-ordinating in the same flaWless manner that enabled them to bring several scholastic pen- nants to this city. the All Stars took the play away from their more experienced opponents, whose lack of practice vas glaringly evident. The Bearing Makers performed as though they had never seen one an- other previously and Manager Car roll fully realizes that several changes will have to be made before

AT THE CAPITOL

If you were asked to name the greatest play of the last fifteen years, without hesitation you would nomi- nate that wonderful American comedy of married life, "The First Year." which played for more than two years at the Little Theater, and for two seasons on tour was ac- claimed by audiences from coast to coast as the finest play written by an American in many long years.
 After a great many weeks Of ne gotiations, the Civic Players secured permission to produce The First Year" and it is whispered that a recc price had to be paid for this priv 5a.
 The First Year. is known as a comic-tragedy of married life and the title has something to do with the birth Of the now familiar adagc, that the first year is the hardest" so far as the newlyweds are con ccrned. It tells a simple, human. straightforward story, without any frlls or furbelows IL is the story of people you know-perhaps your neighbors. or members of your own family-and it may be that other people in the record breaking audi ences that will gather at the Capitol theater this week will think they see you yourself depicted by one of the actresses or actors on the stage.
 The seat sale which opened last Friday. already has resulted in a perfect avalanche of orders at the box office of the Capitol theater, and if you don't wish 10 be disappointed, you had better make your reserva- tions at once

his combination is going to get any where in semi-pro circles.
 Outscored from the floor, the All Stars turned to the medium of the complimentary stripe to eke out a victory. A survey of the score sheet shows that the Endees outstripped their opponents, l to 10, from the field, but were defeated, Il to 5, from the l5-foot mark.
 Employing a fine passing game and at the same time throwing up a strong defense, the All-Stars, led by the redoubtable Sugar" Hugret, grabbed an early lead and held it throughout the first half, the final whistle finding them on the top end of a r. 10 10 rally. In this semester Hugret and Tug" Zetarski led the attack for the winners, while Cap" Bissell was the main point-getter for the Carrollmen.

the District recently upheld the validity of Presi- dent Hoovers oil conservation executive order, is- sued immediately alter he assumed office, by sus- taining the right of the Secretary of Interior to revoke permits previously issued under the Oil Lands Leasing Act of 1920. The case brought by one Barton, holder of a permit which can celled by the Interior Department but the effect of the decision reached 5000 other permit holders
 It contended by Barton that the Govern ment powerless to revoke permits after issl- ance, except for violation of the provisions of the leasing act. This sustained by the lower court The Government promptly took appeal. The Su- preme Court of the District ruled that the Presi7 dent had authority under the coal lands with drawal act of 1910 to set aside permits authorized by the Leasing Act of 1920, even though there were no specific provisions in the latter statute to that end and that under the former law he was still empowered to withhold permits for pros- pecting on the nations oil lands.
 President Hoover moved to end further pros pecting for oil resources in 1929, passing his action on the overproduction of oil everywhere. He, however, excluded Alaska from the policy, per- init holders here being granted extensions of time on number of occasions to begin prospecting op- erations The suit just decided therefore did not directly affect the Territory

Employment Problem.
Louisville Herald -Post.)

For men must work and women must weep
 Thus wrote the poet a hundred years ago anc wrote with truth.
 But we have changed all that
 Since the war and largely because of the war women have not only been working but them selves a major factor in the causes of unemploy- ment
 In many lands they fill the places once occu- pied by men.
 There is throughout the world a larger ratio of workers to population Even in Great Britain where unemployment is the problem that nc one tackles successfully, there is a gain of some thing like three quarters of a million workers In Germany it is still more by reason of the les Sened absorption by army and navy.
 Overproduction means underemployment.
 Overproduction of workers most of all
 But women, who first were makeshifts, have become indispensable.
 Not fewer but more find occupations that fit them.
 And so the only effective cure for unemploy- ment is just precisely what always it has been.
 Production must be restored.
 Production must find forms
 Consider how in the last decade new jobs have been provided by activities which earlier were or less ambitious scale.
 Tourist travel alone is one of these activities the demands of which have multiplied. To cause two blades of grass to grow where one grew before was once test of the good citizen. Today he causes new filling stations, new lunch stands new miniature golf courses to blossom and flourish.
 Not much wheat stacks of wheat Not much country clubs street corner clubs. Not much shooting wells distributing their products.

O'MALLEY FAVORS SEWERS.

Tn his discussion of fisheries regulations for 1881 at Seattle recently, Commissioner Henry OMalley, United States Bureau of Fisheries indicated reduc- tons in gear and restrictions of operations would affect the larger operators rather than the smaller and independent ones. More restrictions will be imposed particularly in Southeast Alaska than in 193O because the 1929 runs of salmon were below normal in certain He is seeking to build up the runs in the odd numbered years
 Restrictions will be largely aimed at traps, he indicated And out of proposed reduction of 58 in the Panhandle 51 will come from companies trapman and the little fellows" stand chance of getting off lightly.
 The Commissioner was not inclined to make any changes in regulations affecting purse seines Exist ing regulations have made it impossible for the big boats from Puget Sound to come north and operate At present, the Commissioner feels, ac cordng to the Pacific Fisherman, that the seine boats are owned by individuals, most of whom reside in the Territory and dependent 2or their livelihood the of their gear
 This view is sound. Every possible latitude consistent with the spreservation of the runs should be allowed the seiners. At best next year is not apt to be overly prosperous for them. With great stocks of fish in warehouses without market, and prices below production costs it is apparent that the canners will not be able in 1881 to pay prices for fish that justifiably paid in the past few years when canned fish bringing 50 per cent more than be had for them today. Re- taxation rather than restriction if possible, should mark the 1881 regulations for the seners in order to partly compensate them for lower prices their fares are certain to bring.

DOMINION MAY BECOME KINGDOM.

Next February Canada's Parliament will be call ed upon to decide if that country shall change its name from Dominion" to Kingdom" and if Canadians shall again be entitled to receive titles of nobility. It is not proposed to change the identity of the country as a part of the British Empire merely to change the title of the country under King George as it's sovereign. These two propositions to be submitted to the Canadian Parliament at Ottawa next year by Armand La vergne, Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons.
 He is not the first to suggest that Canada should be known as the Kingdom of Canada !" Sir John Macdonald, the first Premier of the coun- try, wanted that name instead of the Dominion of Canada" in 1867 when Canada was organized by the federation of the separate British Colonies. The major factor in the rejection of this proposal, it has been understood, out of consideration for the feelings of the United States which, it was feared might be offended if Kingdom should be established the North American continent. If these fears were justified at that time, they would not be today. America sensbilities would not be affected by the change if it were decided to make it.
 Up to the period of the World War British soveregns on occasion bestowed titles upon worthy Canadians At that time. in an access of ardor for Democracy, the Canadians through Parlia- ment petitoned the throne to discontinue the practice on the ground that the foundations of the nation were being weakened by creation of a titled aristocracy.' Since then, no more titles have been passed around in the Dominion to the regret of not few Two years ago effort was made to modify this ban, but it defeated in the House of Commons at Ottawa. The recent change from a Liberal to the Conservative control may make it possible for Deputy Speaker Layergne to get his measure through.
 There seems to be doubt about changing the name of Canada to Kingdom" There are many Canadians who would not oppose granting Of titles to fellow countrymen, but who see no good reason why Dominion of Canada" is not good enough particularly in view of the fact that king dom" as a national name is becoming more and more obsolete throughout the world each succeed ing generation. This is however purely domestic question which Canadians probably will decide with their accustomed sanity and good taste without outside advice criticism being called for
