 Secondly, no individual unit of the industry is large enough to af- ford such campaign by itself. Therefore, an all-New England CO., operative campaign is indicated.
 "Thirdly, statistics show that 56 per cent of travellers coming here make an all-New England tour. thus indicating the desirability of an all-New England advertising campaign.
 "In the fourth place, other areas of the country which compete with New England for rccreation- al business are spending annually more than $5,00O,000 to bring peo- pie to their communities, to sasy nothing of the expenditures of Can- i ada and foreign countries.
 "Fifthly, every resident of New England should realize that in- creased recreational business will tend to decrease the tax burden on established New England business and private property"

Mclean Approves
 Hartford Method
 But Prefers Own
Superintendent Has Supreme Confidence in TabuIa- tions Kept By Raiders and Key Used in Determine ing Second and Third Offenders of Prohibition Law

I information that Daumis was also known as Gulka and Damis and incidentally was not newcomer in police circles. Including his lat est trip Daumis, Gulka or Damis has been arrested five times in col- nection with violations of the pro- hibition act. All the past facts concerning the defendant have been unearthed by the police in event of possible quiz.
 Speaking of the experiences of the Hartford police Judge William M. Harney remarked: "A situation has arisen in the court which makes in imperative for the author tiles to take action. The use of fictitious names and the unwilling ness of accused to discuss past rela- tions with the police have hindered the prosecution of cases. Hartford had recent case in which an of- fender was sentenced to jail for thirty days. His plea of being a first offender was accepted. While he was working out the sentence 1t was discovered that he had been convicted on two previous occas- ions. He was re-arrested and sem fenced to an additional sixty days term for prejury.
 Judges Harney and Richard T. Steele and Chief Garrett Farrell of the Hartford department after q conference announced the plan of "mugging" and finger printing all convicted violators of the liquor law. There will be many new faces soon in the rogue gallery of the Hartford police and the announce ment of the new scheme Is likely to call for new lineup of club man. agers and restaurants proprietors. The Waterbury police are suffi- ciently interested in the experiment to become interested spectators of It's success.

Church GOers
 Were Out Early
Walking Conditions Good But the Weather Quite
 Chilly

It was chilly around o'clock this morning. but church goers hurried along at a pace that kept the blood in circulation regardless of the weather conditions. Later the sun came out and with good walking conditions the day was ideal for shopping and many took occasion of 1t to take a peep at the store windows and get a line on what they will purchase for Christ mas.
 While one hears much talk about hard times, must of which is true. yet when you look around and see the crowds of happy men. women and children sightseeing and buy ing things you are convinced that people are keeping up courage and bound to make the best of present day conditions and hopeful of n change for the better in the near future. Christmas trees are coming into the market and no matter where the money comes from folk will have to get them for the chill dren are fortunate in not being aware of the dull times. They ex- pect Santa Claus and he will see that they are remembered this Christmas as well as In the past. The school department and the teachers, although being made n football of in certain quarters. are doing much to assist the needy. They are in q posistion to know where q little help Is needed and are playing Santa Claus to many families in different parts Of the city and saying nothing about U. That's the kind of work that counts for something worth while.

Although approving of the new < ly adopted plan of the Hartford police in photographing and finger printing convicted violat0rs of the liquor law, Superintendent Joseph Ii. Mclean of the local police de- pertinent stated today that there was little likelihood of this city's copying the scheme. We have had experience similar to the Hart ford police, but no difficulty in de- termining second or third offenders from first timers" The emer- gency squad makes 1t point to check up very closely on the rec ofds of each accused and city court officials are acquainted with their standing as thoroughly as possible. The plan Is a good one and l am sure that 1t will prove very practi- cal," the superintendent remark ed today in discussing the plan.
 As evidence of the superintend- ent's confidence in the emergency squads system of identifying re- peaters in the art of denting the dry laws is the pending case of Paul Daumis, 45, of the Scott road, whose hearing takes place tomor- row morning in city court. The case was scheduled for trial this morning, but was postponed one day at the request of counsel.
 When Daumis was taken into custody following raid last Thurs day afternoon he was booked for the alleged illegal manufacturing of moonshine. The squad raiding a barn on the Scott road seized a 40-gallon still all set up for action, 22 gallons of moonshine, several hundred gallons of msah and about 10 gallons of wine.
 After giving the accused the "once over' the squad went into 0 huddle and came out of 1t with the

Dr Fitzpatrick
 at Central YMCA
Gave Instructive Lecture
 on How Germ of Ring Worm Acts

Dr Edward Fitzpatrick was the speaker at the Y Health Forum last night. His subject was "Ath- lete's Foot" This is condition that has existed for many years but with the increased number of swimming pools in our cities has been transmitted to many others and has become quite prevalent. It is a germ or ring worm that im- bedO itself under the skin particu- larly in moist places such as be- tween the toes and under the arms. The best way to avoid 1t is to use a little rubbing alcohol on the feet after bathing and to make a vigorous use of a towel. Most young fellows do not take time enough after exercise and bathing to properly dry the body, particularly between the toes. This gives the ring worm an opportun- ity to take hold.
 The speaker next week is Dr Ed ward A. Herr on "Blood Transfu- sion."

Boston, Dec 8.-Increased de- velopment of the recreational busi- ness in New England is of the widest significance, because re- creational development will tend to decrease the tax burden on estab- lished New England business and private property. This statement was made to-day by Colonel Will liam A. Barron of Crawford Notch, N. H., in a radio broadcast over station WBZ-WBZA at 12:05 noon. Colonel Barron Is chairman of the recreational development commit tee of the New England council. under auspices of which plans have recently been developed for an all- New England recreational advertis- ing campaign, to be conducted in 1899 providing the interests which benefit raise the necessary funds. Speaking over the Westinghouse stations as q guest speaker of the New England Radio Market News Service, directed by E. J. Rowell. Colonel Barron explained that the interests benefitting from develop ment of the recreational industry are now contributing toward Q fund of $1O0.O00 to be used in adver- tislng New England as 0 recrea-- tional area beginning the first of the coming year.
 "While New England's natural scenic assets will be stressed In this advertising" Colonel Barron told his radio hearers, New Englands traditional good food and health- giving climate will be emphasized particularly in the proposed ad- vertising."
 Life Insurance statistics point out that people live four years longer in New England than the national average. Colonel Barron declared. He said there arc five reasons for launching a recreation al advertising campaign at this time. ,..
 "The first reason Is that New EnEland's recreational business is 10 be increased or maintained 1t

Govt Meets First Defeat in
Trial OF Canada Communists

TORONTO, Canada, Nov. 1.-THE
Crown suffered its first defeat when
Mike Gilmore took the stand and
stated he was not member of the
Communist Party, but a Young Com
rnunist League organizer. The Crown
admits it has no case against Gill
more, and the bench discharged him.
Earlier in the day, A. T. Hill was
on the stand. Prosecutor Somerville
insisted that the Communist Party
determines the policies OF the activ-
tiles of the Finnish organization of
Canada, also its daily paper, Vaupus.
He repeated his former charges that
the Party conducts illegal work.
Tim Buck was recalled to the stand
by Macdonald. lawyer for the de-
Tense. Buck testified that he was
compelled to keep documents at home
owing to the fact that the Party Of
Ifice was continually bulglarized. Judge
Wright refused Bucks explanation Of
the term revolutionary struggle"
=. Buck Speaks Hours
Malcolm Bruce was the next called
on the stand and testified that the
spy Leopold, alias Esselwein, of the
Royal Mounted Police, suggested that
he Join the Communist Party. He
testified that the demonstrations were
always peaceful until the police be-
gan interference in the last few years.

means nothing-the struggle is
world wide. 1 am with you in spirit
and with all my heart. l am with
you in all your struggles. 1 rejoice
In the success of your social rev.
olution. / am with you unreser-
vedly, and without equivocation."
Mooney feels that he owes debt
of gratitude to the Russian workers
because it was their demonstration
in front of the American Embassy
in Leningrad in 1917 which called
the attention of the world to his case.
The protest OF the Russian workers
was responsible for the action of
President Wilson In urging that
MONEYS death sentence be COM
muted to life Imprisonment.
Demonstrations for the freedom of
Mooney are now being held through
out the Soviet Union, as well as in
all European and Asiatic countries,
and will be intensified on the occa-
sion of the anniversary of the COM
mutation of MONEYS death SEN
tence to life Imprisonment on Nov.
%, 1918.

All the witnesses nave not been
heard. Buck in his own defense ad-
dressed the jury for three hours. He
outlined the activity of the Commu-
mist Party during the ten years of
its existence. The judge made several
objections. Buck stated the need of
a world program of the Communist
International was a historical devel-
opment of the Communist Manifesto
and based on the class struggle. He
also stated that the program Of the
Communist International was essen
tial to workers, showing the historic
ending of capitalism.
Communism Only Way Out
He declared that the Communist
Party Of Canada was not an outside
force, but part Of the working class,
that Communism is the only alterna-
tive to fascism. He dealt with the
growing Of fascism In Canada and
the Fsteven massacre of miners.
He stated this is the first time in
any English speaking country that
Communism is on trial. The attack
on the Communist Party now is a
result of the intensification of the
class struggle, and that the evidence
of the Crown in regard to their men,
bership in the Party and their adj
herence to the Communist Interna-
tional makes no case against them.
