 in The Financial World his view on the business outlook.

 reads his article. "The new year
 will be pretty much the reverse of
 the year just closing. Activity will trend will be rising instead of fall ing. The first half will average be-
 low the 1930 rate but the second
 half will be above. If our appraisal is correct and recovery starts next spring and regains normal by the spring of 1882, the period of sub
 normal activity will have consumed two and one-ha1f years, which com pares with two years in the depres- sion of 1921.
 Among the leaders in the revival
 are likely to be the automotive and textile industries. Building will do well to equal the record of 1930 owing to the pressure of overland ing surplus. space and the slow start which is likely to be witnessed. Prospects for construction are
 brightest in the residential type. Re- vival will start relatively early here

 At her trial, Miss De Voc said she left the Bow home, November l, af- ter overhearing the star and Rex Bell, Clara's present fiiance. planning to discharge her.

 The grand theft charges resulted from Miss Bows appeal to the dis trict attorney to compel Mis- De Voc to return the valuables. According to the state, a small fortune in jewels was found in Miss De Voes safety deposit vault.

The new triple combination fire auto purchased by the city of Wa terbury is en route to this city from Elmira. N. Y.. the home of the A m r 1 n La France Company, which has provided the local de- partment with a 100 per cent fire- lighting equipment. The passing of and the purchase of the new ma chine gave this company and the city the distinction.
 Chief Henry H. Heitman expects the machine to arrive within the next week and after the demonstra- . ton tests have been conducted 1t will be formally accepted and placed in service. It Is likely that the ma chine will be assigned to the Burton street fire station. The auto is one of the m ost modern pieces of fire fighting equipment manufactured. embody;ng all the latest features recommended by experts.
 The local departments new fire lighter Is known as master ser ies'' type 75 and is a triple combina- pump, Q hose body and an 80 gall lon booster water tank. The rotary gear pump throws q fire stream of 750 gallons. It Is equipped with a powerful and rugged six cylinder motor which develops 140 brake horse power.
 One of the features of this new unit of motor fire apparatus is that it is left hand driven. With the steering wheel on the left instead of the right hand side of the car. the driver can pass other machines in traffic much easier because he has . greater range of visibility. 1t is claimed that the steering mechan- ism on this apparatus is such that the car can be steered as easily as can an automobile.
 With the present day crowded traffic conditions of our streets it is sometimes necessary for a piece of fire apparatus to stop quickly in or der to avoid accident while speeding to a fire. So, the new machine Is equipped with a special type of four wheel brakes. These brakes are 20 designed that the car when fuily loaded can be stopped within 22 feet at a speed of 20 miles per hour. This not .'nly complies with the re- quirements of the state highway de- partments but exceeds them for the most stringent state highway re- quiroments call for stop within 35 feet at ti,is speed.
 When it is remembered that in present day fire service. a bumper may be called on to pump water for long stretches with the engine running at high speed, the need for a highly efficient cooling system iS readily seen. In this city's new apparatus the water from the rad:- ator circulates around a cooling unit which is fed from water taken from the suction side of the pump. The system ie fully enclosed and. ac- cortiingly. no water Is discharged on the groun to freeze in cold weather or to form mud about the machine in warm weather. An additional feature of this new cooling system is that anti.freeze solutions may be used in the radiator without loss. This Is made possible by the fully enclosed feature of the system.
 Another distinctive feature of the new apparatus is the new type of frame--which is the backbone" of

that his honor grant linency in pronouncing sentence in this case, the letter said.
 AS the court room started to clear Alfred Mathes, Miss De Woes fiance stepped forward and spoke to Judge Doran.
 Isn't ther some chance, sir, of let. ting her out on bail?' he asked.
 No" the judge replied. "The law expressly forbids bail between the time of recording the verdict and the pronouncing of sentence"
 This decision meant that Miss De Voc must stay in the county jail at least until 10 q. m. Monday, when she is to be sentenced.
 Mathes. with whom Daisy said she had quarreled earlier in the day turned to comfort her.
 Several women jurors and num- Der of women spectators wept while Miss De Voc was led away by the jail matron and a bailiff.
 ''Pu fight and fight and fight. Miss De Voc said later in the wo- mems ward. "I'll give no quarter They say certain person said: l hope they find Daisy guilty so she can't talk about me- Well, they'll see. I'm going to tell everything. I'll write book"
 The jurors said the court stood 8 to 4 for acquittal during most of the deliberation.
 Two men and two women refused to yield and finally the compromise verdict was reached.
 Count No. charged Miss De Voc took a check for $S25, written by Miss Bow to pay income tax, and bought a fur coat for herself.
 Mrs Mary A. Everett. juror who is the mother of two grown daugh- ters, admitted she led the fight for conviction. as a "lesson to other young girls
 T was one of those who held out because I thought there should be a lesson to the youth of California There is no bitterness toward Miss De Voc on my part"
 Had Miss De Voc been convicted on all 35 counts alleging thefts oi S16.000, she would have been liable to 35 to $50 years in prison. Clara Bow was recovering from a severe cold at her Beverly Hills home when the verdict was read. I'm terribly sorry it all had to happen" she said. For Daisy E sake. I hope the court will be lem tent"

She says she had won $207,500 in the game and need ed the cash as a show of good faith in order to collect her winnings. The $50,000, she contends, was lost as Fred Litsinger sat and watched.

were dismissed for bribery. extortion, theft, drinking, falsifying records and other offenses. Up to June 30,
 1890, there had been 1904 dismissals from the dry service for such causes.
 Nearly 12,000 more were separated from their jobs without prejudice. Since the prohibition unit was placed under civil service three lyears ago there has been continued improvement in the calibre of agents, the commission found. Tracing political interference with prohibition enforcement, William s. Kenyon, dry commission member
 who wrote an exhaustive review of
 enforcement conditions in his sep- arate report, said:
 "Even after the prohibition agents
 were placed under civil service, this political interference persisted. and
 some of the worst men had the
 strongest political backing. Some were men with criminal records. Some apparently sought the positions because of the opportunity for graft and boasted of what they could
 make."

Non-support to-day is the most difficult and most per- picking question that city court judges are called upon to decide. To jail man who has no money only offers no solution to the harassed wife. It takes diplomats like Pro- bation Officer Nicholas Combellack to appeal to the best that is in man and endeavor to have him "knuckle down" and take anything in the form of job to help his family along. And sometimes when a man Is willing to take anything there is nothing in the form of occupation to offer him.
 The only steady source of income the city court treasury is receiving these days is from persons who do not believe in signs-parking signs. Last year 1,751 paid $2 each com pared to 1889 in 1929. More streets are being restricted, so a bigger and more profitable season Is predicted as one of the possibilities of the cur rent year.
 Fifty-four persons were arrested during 1880 and ordered held for the coroner. A majority of these cases represented instances in which autoists struck and seriously or fat ally injured pedestrians. z, It is indi- cative of year of unusual acci- dents and great increase in the number of deaths.

Bill Introduced at Hartford in Honor of Revolutions

HOLIDAY OCTOBER n

Polish residents of Waterbury will be no doubt interested to. learn that a bill has been introduced in the legislature at Hartford naming Pulaski Day legal holiday. The bill was introduced in the house by Representative Maciora of New Bri- tain.
 The proposed new legal holiday would fall on October 11th and would be set aside in honor of the great Polish general and patriot who fought valiantly with the Amer ican colonies during the days of the Revolutionary war.
 As the years pass more and more attention is being paid to the mem- ory of General Pulaski. Historians are giving him more space in the pages of their works.

 The opposing forces are expected to have their first big clash in con- nection with next years presidential election. This weeks events may be expected to exert their. effect. | The Wickersham report was nc- companied by a development of vital importance in this struggle-Presi- dent Hoover's message declaring his opposition to repeal of the 18th amendment and to the form of pos- sible revision mentioned in the re- port.
 Dry leaders, including Senator Fess of Ohio, chairman of the re- publican national committee, con- strued this as forecasting Mir. Hoover's campaign for reelection on a dry platform. Later, however, Senator Fess said the presidents po- sition had been misinterpreted, that he had an open mind toward revision and had expressed himself as op- posed to the suggested form of re- vision though not necessarily toward any other change that might be sug- gested. White House spokesmen also l gave numerous persons a similar in- depreciation. President Hoover has declined suggestions that he settle the controversy by an official ex- planation.
 Members of congress have spent the last few days trying to digest the 286 page report and are about ready to begin extensive debate. The first intensive discussion was likely to have it's bearing on the dispo- sition of the Howell bill to make Washington a model enforcement city. This bill was before the sen- ate to-day.
 Further debate on the report is expected when the senate considers the Tydings resolution to investigate whether the Wtckersham commission was subject to presidential pressure This resolution, which is likely to be | considered next week, was prompt ed by reports President Hoover had thrown his weight against any rec ommendation for immediate revision or repeal of the 18th amendment. l Chairman Wickersham denied the president had influenced the com- missions conclusions, but other in- formation obtained by the United Press was to the contrary. Chairman Wickersham and other commission CTS failed to explain a discrepancy in which two commissioners, in their separate statements, referred to a recommendation by the commission for immediate revision of the 18th amendment. There was no such rec. ommendation in the final version Of the general report.
 The commission recommended strengthening of enforcement legis. lation and President Hoover en. dorsed this, but did not ask for ac. ton at this session. The expectation Is this matter will wait until the mex, congress convenes.
 However, the house yesterday passed the regular justice depart. ment appropriation providing $11,. 369.500 for prohibition enforcement an increase of about $2,0OO, 900 over last year and allowing an increase of 500 dry agents.

claimed for person being killed in an auto accident from $10,000 to $25,000. This figure of $1O.000 has long been considered inadequate in view of the fact that the $10.000 figure was adopted years ago when the value of the dollar was greater. It is now felt that the amount should be $25.000 to meet the trend of the times and do justice to those who are entitled to claims arising out of such situations.
 In the senate a bill has been in- troduced providing for $1,000 ex- emption from taxation in favor of orphans of veterans.
 Ex-servicemen should be especial ly interested in a bill before the house providing for an exemption of $5,000 on their taxable property. At the present time they are entitled to only $1.00O exemption.
 Another bill before the legislature is one providing an exemption of $3,00O for ex-servicemen. Still an- other one provides for an exemption of $3,000 in taxes for widows and
