Eddy-GlOver Boulevard
 To Be 90 Foot Highway

The Camp Real Estate Co. is pre- pared to deed to the city thirty foot strip of land on Eddy Glover Boulevard between McClintock street and Pennington avenue, in order ehat the highway may be 90 feet between street lines, City Engineer P. A. Merriam announced today. It will make possible a 90 foot high way the length of the boulevard, as the stretch between McClintock street and Pennington avenue was the only portion which was com paratively narrow.
 An agreement was in the process of being made today for the trans fer of land from the John Boyle Co. and John Kunz to allow for elimin- ation of the dangerous northeast corner of Glen street and Rockwell avenue. The corner will be cut back approximately IS feet, the city en- gineer said, adding greatly to its ap- pearance and making it much safer for travel.

lium-inflated ship as the Arkon in the realm of definite impossibility he further says it would be almost impossible for the ship to break apart in sudden heavystorm. The reason TOT this is the ships unus- ually sturdy construction.
 Can Resist Great Pressure
 The Akron is being built so strongly that, it's designers say, it will be able to buck a storm that has an upward velocity of 60 feet a second, while it is moving ahead at it's maximum speed of more than so miles an hour. A storm of that velocity is far beyond the most severe ever encountered.
 Thus, rigidly built and with non- inflammable helium as it's lifting gas, the Akron and it's successor, the ZRS-5, will be almost 100 per cent safe. Safety of the Los Angeles, for the same reasons, although this ship is not as sturdily built as the Akron and ZRS-5 will be. is also assured,

Grandfather Asks Court to Name
 Him Custodian of Grandchildren

The petition of grandfather, Nelson Pelletier, to have his son-in-' law, Alvin H. Salmon of Shuttle Meadow road, Plainville. removed n guardian of the latter's two chill dren, was heard in probate court to- day. Judge Bernard F. Gatfney con- tinued the case until Monday. No vember 10.
 Mrs. Salmon died about six months ago and it was her request that the children be cared for by her father. The husband agreed to this arrangement and the children. Henry, three years. and Harry six months, were left with the grand father.
 Fear that the father intended to take the children away brought about a petition by the grandfather to have the father removed as legal guardian. He claimed the father neglected to support the children and that he failed to provide a suit able home for them. The father claimed he sold the furniture and used the proceeds to help support the children while they were living in the grandfather's home. The younger child has been i'll since the death of his mother.
 Attorney J. Robert Lacey of Southington represented the father in the court hearing which was al- tended by many relatives.

FAFN|R BEARINGS
 USED ON COAST
Firm Building Cars for Traction l Company Repeats Order

-Fafnir bearings are becoming established as part Of the regulation equipment of trolley cars on the Pacific coast, and Californians now are riding or will ride in the near future on New Britain roller bear ings.
 The second order for roller bear ings made by the Fafnir Bearing Co.,. has been sent from New Britain to the shops of the St. Louis Car com- pany at St. Louis, Mo, and consists of roller bearings, enough to equip 15 new cars. The cars now are being completed for a Pacific coast traction line.
 This is the second order from the same company. In 1928 ten cars were put into service in Los Angeles equipped at that time with Fafnir- Melcher bearings.
 The company has found thai these bearings greatly reduced oper- ating cost, minimized the noise and vibration of traction and added to the comfort and ease of trolley patrons. Thus new order has beer received.
 Officials of the Fafnir plant re port that the total aggregate roller bearing mileage to date, since 1923 is 350,000,000. Passenger cars or the Pennsylvania, B. & O.. Grea Northern. Southern Pacific ant Chicago and Northwestern railroad TOW are equipped with Fafnir rollel and ball bearings.

WIFE BEATER ARRESTED
 TRYING TO FLEE POLICE
Officer Called to Winter Street House Twice When Husband
 Causes Disturbance.

Frank Dziob, aged 37 Of 200 Hart ford avenue was fined $20 and eXecu- ton of the sentence was suspended, because he is out of work, after he was found guilty of the charge of drunkenness, breach of tbe peace and assault when he appeared in police court today following his ar rest last evening by Officer Fred Wagner.
 Dziob got himself into difficulty when it was alleged he attempted to beat his wife after having imbibed too much liquor.
 The attention of the officer was first called to the affair when he was accosted on Winter street by Edward Gobic who told him that a man was beating his wife at the corner of Hartford avenue and Win ter streets. Returning to the scene with the boy Wagner saw and heard the man order his wife and children from the home.
 He cautioned the man to desist in his actions and thought he had him quiet when the disturbance started again. When Wagner went into the house for the second time, the man ran through the rear door and down through several back yards to escape. Officer Wagner caught him on Stanley street near Hartford avenue.
 All the testimony offered at the trial was to the effect that the hus- band had been causing trouble for his family for the past IS years and was saved from arrest on previous occasions because his wife feared his wrath.
 Judge SaXe refused to believe the testimony of Dziob that his wife was the cause of all his trouble and told him so in no uncertain terms when Pronouncing sentence.

BANKERS BELIEVE
 DEPRESSION DYING
Return to New Britain From Convention Pleased at Prospect

A feeling of optimism prevailed at the national convention of the American Bankers Association at Cleveland last week, according to reports brought back by New Brit ain bankers who attended the ses- sion.
 John c. Loomis, president of the Commercial Trust Co.,, w. H. Judd. cashier of the New Britain National bank and F. w. Macomber. treasur- CT of the New Britain Trust Co, represented local banks at the con vention.
 MT. Macomber said today in dis cussing the convention that, while no one present seemed to expect any sudden return tp a condition or prosperity, everyone was more op- timistic and it was generally con ceded that the future looks brighter
 The existence of depression was frankly admitted. MT. Macombei said, but there was & general i'm pression that conditions were im-s proved. .t ,-t5s Increased savings accounts were reported all over the country, as was a corresponding decrease in speculation.
 That the depression is practical ly over, oA at least on the way to, turn for the better was the int. pression brought back to New Brit ain by MT. Loomis, following the address delivered by Col. Ayers. vice president of the Cleveland Trust Co.,, and former statistician on the war board during the Worll war.
 | Colonel Ayers pointed out thal the country has had 15 depressions, of which seven or eight were minor in nature. He said a minor depres- sion is like a V, it goes down rapid- ly and turns sharply upward i'm mediately. A major depression is like U in that it goes down, runs along the level and then goes up. 1 The present depression he said was U, but that it took nose dive to the sub cellar - Conditions already have improved, he said. The average depression lasts about Is months. The present one already has run IA months. Colonel Ayers said.
 He expected to see conditions gradually improve until they would [ be backs to normal by the end of 1881. A statisticians normal, the speaker said, was half way between the business mans conception Of normal, which is boom times, anu the depression period.
 MT. Judd did not get the impress sion that a return to improved con- ditions had started to any notice able degree, but said there was e general spirit of optimism through out the convention and prevailing in the minds of everyone there. He said he did not hear any one de. finitely specify how soon they ex- pected things to improve, but that Nobody felt that things were go, ing to the bad"

ment and the further existence of the Polish state depended only on the efforts of the Poles themselves.
 Soviets Would Destroy Poland
 Tt was plainly evident that the soviets aimed toward a complete de- struction of Poland ard were pre- pairing for us a bondage and slavery much worse than that through which Poland suffered 150 years ago. That was the tragic picture of Poland ir the beginning of August. 1920. Ii Is no wonder that the whole world thought that Poland as a state was no longer in existence.
 Ut was at that moment that the legendary miracle" appeared be- fore the eyes of the astounded world. On those enormous battle fields extending from the Carpa- thian mountains nearly to the Baltic shores the Polish soldier, torn and tattered, exhausted by the contin- uous battles and retreat, feeling the united nation behind him, changed the seemingly inevitable defeat into a most brilliant conquest of Polish arms.
 To-day, on the ten year anniver- sary of those famous August days, we honor the memory and pay tri- bute to the direct creator of that great miracle, the Polish soldier and the Polish nation. The history of that victory leaves much for our consideration.
 Tt is with sorrow that we must admit much sacrifice of blood and the visions of defeat at the very gates of Warsaw were necessary to have the nation understand that only in a united effort was there any hope for victory. At that moment there occurred that gfeat change manifesting itself in a united thought and a united desire for vic tory. for which all were ready to of fer the greatest sacrifice. A national defence council was created. interior misunderstanding forgotten. most capable citizens were called on with out regard to party differences, an appeal was issued openly and fear lessly to the heart and conscience ot the entire nation, new confidence in their own power was created without appealing to outside help. 'The effect of this solid and unit by the continuous battles from the very first days of the resurrection of his fatherland. recovered his valor and confidence in himself and dj- rected by the genius of his con- mander, Marshal Pilsudski, gained one of the greatest of victories known in history"
 Addresses by Others
 Among the other speakers were Judge Stanley J. Traceski. Dr. B. R smykowski, W. Smolczynski of Chicopee Falls, Mass, Rev. Johr Janowski, chaplain in the Polish army during the war, and S. r Wojtusik of this city.
 Interspersed in the addresses were American and Polish anthsh1s, wal songs by St. Cecilia's choir, and declamations by the Klimkiewics brothers and Mary Zima, an orphan from the Polish orphanage.
 Mir. Smolczynsli, the only sur viving veteran in this country of the last Polish uprising against the powers in 1S63-1S64, spoke of the ,, patriotism displayed by their fore fathers. After years of struggling against enemies Poland finally wor it's independence through the ever lasting spirit and senergy of its patriots" he said. MT. Smolczynski was also presented with a medal from the Polish government by Dr Marchlewski.
