Green, of GA Holmes avenue. Announce ment of his death, due to heart ail- ment, came as distinct shock to his many friends.

HOMESTEAD SITE
 MAY BE PARK

Beatrice. Neb., (UP)-The first homestead grant made in the United States will become the Homestead National park of America if q bill recently proposed in congress $ passed. The proposal calls for an appropriation of $50,000 for the ere estate near Beatrice itno a memorial park commemorating the enactment of the National Homestead act Jan uary 1, 1863, and marking the first tract of land to be settled under the bill.
 Daniel Freeman. the nations first homesteader, was a soldier in the Union Army on scout duty in and about Brownville. While on furlough in December, 1862. he decided to file on a piece of land open for homestead entry.
 Arriving at Brownville where the drawing was to be made he dis covered that the office would not be open January 1 because it was holiday. His furlough was over on January l.
 Sentiment in Brownville favored him and the land office clerk opened his office after midnight December 31, 1862. Freeman re- ceived his entry.
 When the war was over Freeman settled on his land. He lived there 50 years. The title is held by his widow and sons.

New York-Children and adult first offenders can be treated by pro- bation at one-tenth the cost of in- stitutional care and with more sat isfactory results, according to the 1880 Year Book of the National Probation association issued this week.
 Thirty-six leading judges, proba- tion officers and penologists are among the writers for the Year Book which contains the latest in- formation on juvenile courts, proba- tion, domestic relations courts, and crime prevention in the United States.
 "Probation," states the Year Book, "is extending rapidly in the United States due to a demand for more scientific policy of the treatment of crime and the need for greater economy. The unusua growth of prison population in the United States presents a choice of addition al tax burdens for building new prisons or the gerater use of proba- tion.
 "To-day there are 4,035 probation officers in the courts of our coun- try. New York state has increased it's use of probation 60 per cent in ten years time. In Massachusetts the number placed on probation in creased from 6,201 in 1920 to 3D. 8O9 in 1929. Commitments to penal institutions in Massachusetts during the same period show decrease. There were 27,731 committed in that state to penal institutions in 1900 while in 1929 there were 19,650.
 "The use of probation has spread not only to cities but also to the rural districts. Massachusetts has a paid pr<oation officer in every court. Alabama has paid and trained child welfare workers as probation officer in every county but one. h.

$256, 100000 went into construction. $260, 100000 into maintenance and $223,0O0,0O into "other purposes.
 At this point in the hearings, the fact was brought out that despite the cry that local roads were being discriminited against in favor of town and city-to- city connections the local roads in 1929 had an income of $758, 8,000,C00 as compared with state road income of $887, 100000.
 Undressing this statement with further facts, the chief of the fed eral aid road building activities in the United States made the unquali- fled statement that there is a grow ing loss in county governments in highway Improvement. We have just analysed road expenditures for all the counties in one state," he stated, "and we found in this analysis at cumulations of debts for recurring expenditures which had been bond ed, until the bonded debt service was in fact annually requiring Il very large part of the road income" Better administrative and engin- eering methods instead of more money appears therefore to be the first need on local roads at this time.

Snowfall on
 State Highways
Crews at Work Early and Cleared All Public
 Roads

Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald announced early last night that all highways in Connecu- cut had been cleared of yesterdays snowfall, but cautioned against the danger of freezing and the probable development of ice conditions which would make motoring hazardous despite the fact that the snow had been removed from the highway pavement. He urged the use of skid chains as the best precaution against accident.
 Highway crews were at work last night placing saind upon hills, curves
 and crossing approaches as a pre- caution against the ice hazard. Reports of the various depart
 ment divisions showed that the snow
 had varied from about one half
 inch in depth along Long Island
 Sound to six inches in Litchfield
 county. The average depth was two |~and one-half inches. The ploys used by the department in snow re-
 moval are of no avail in the clear ing of SHOW less than one of two
 inches in depths, since the passing
 of traffic rapidly eradicates the
 snow. Consequently, blows were
 used yesterday only in those sec tions of the state where the fall was | heavier.

 Suits In Court
George L. LIIey Company Defendant in First Action and
 Katherine Keatng Second-Fal in Lilley Building and Injuries in Auto Accident Basis for Litigation

Two school teachers to-day insti- 8tuted damage suits totaling $20,- 900 in the common pleas court. Anna Lynch of Naugatuck, teacher in the Borough school asks s10,000 against the George L.

diana has paid officer in all but two or three counties. The same is true in New York state.
 More important than the mere extension of juvenile courts and pro- bation are the higher standards now demanded for probation officers" states the Year Book. "These stand ards are due to an increased appre- citation for the need of training. In the juvenile courts of Chicago and Detroit the majority of proba- tion officers are college graduates.
 '"The states in which the use of probation has been most effective are generally those having state pro- bation bureaus or departments. The following twenty-one states have state supervising bureaus or depart ments for their probation work: setts, New York. Illinois, Wiscon- sin, Indiana, Utah, Arkansas, Rhode Island, Vermont Alabama, Georgia, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia"
 The Year Book contains the first complete analysis of probation las in the United States and Canada. It severely criticizes the inconsistencies of many of the present laws for probation. "In many states the laws are not only inadequate but actually hamper the extension and conduct of work" it comments.
 "Fifteen states have no adult pro- bation law In other states the pro- bation laws are limited to minor of- lenders and there is no adequate probation staff, and no plan for qualifying officers. Maine and Wyom- ing have no Juvenile courts though both are now considering legislation for this purpose. In some states, procedure for hearing children's cases is partly criminal. Limitations
