 Is Decreasing
2l ACTIVE CASES LISTED

Although one new case of infan- tile paralysis was reported to health authorities to-day, Dr F. J. Godfrey announced this morning that Waterbury has but 21 active cases on record. This result was brought about by the release from quarantine of eight more cases that had been under treatment. Up to this morning there had been 38 cases reported in the present epidemic starting on July II. Since that time, however, IT have been released, nine during last week and eight so far this week.
 Dr Godfrey also stated that suffi- cient serum was secured at yester- days blood clinic to care for 25 patients, which is more than Wa terbury has active cases. Six per- sons who had the disease more than three years ago and less than Is years ago answered the call for volunteers.
 Another death yesterday, Mar guerite Reardon, six, daughter of MT and Mrs John Reardon of 335 Hamilton avenue, brought Water bury's death total in the present epidemic to four.

There was no relaxing of police vigilance last evening in the drive against suspected bandits and hold up men. The milk team squad" carried on as usual, while the po- lice motor patrol kept in constant contact with police headquarters for any alarm. There were no dis turbances of an unusual nature dur ing the night and the authorities believe that with the roundup of six suspects yesterday morning that the series of "breaks" have ended. The alleged bath tub" burglar has left the city, according to the po- lice, but on his return will be picked up and questioned, if not actually charged with the crimes credited to him. Incidentally the police know the name and place of residence of the chap, who created the greatest furore in police circles in recent years.

Half Century Makes It Center of Big

Kansas City, Mo, OUP)-Half a century ago Kansas City was but q wagon grain market, struggling to afford facilities and il noutlct for the few thousand bushels received here. A few quaint grain elevators lined the waterfront.
 To-day, this market has neces- sary machinery to handle more than 150.000,000 bushels in a sin gle crop season. It is the price passing market for approximately one-third of the wheat acreage of the United States. supreme as q winter wheat market, first as a grain sorghum center. third in the pjroduction of flour and the larg- est manufacturing center for poul- try, stock and dairy feeds.
 Such is the contrast pictured by Frank A. Theis. president of the Kansas Sity board of trade, in a public address.
 In the month just ended, Kan sas City received 25,387 cars of wheat. containing approximately 41 million bushels, Theis pointed out. This number of cars would make a solid train 250 miles long. Ground into flour, the wheat would feed the population of greater

A sixteen -year-old girl who was placed on a motor transportation bus in New York city with instruc- tions to remain on board until the Waterbury station was reached, was reported yesterday afternoon as having "nysterioualy disappear cd" When Shore Line bus from New York city pulled into the Grand street terminal Miss Dorothy Nedroth of Fish Rock Club, South bury, Conn, looked in vain among It's passengers for her niece, Har- rfett Neuroth, 16, who was coming here for visit.

Ladakas. her daughter, and two neighbors. The party was engaged in bottling some home brew when Ladakas appeared on the scene. The friendliness which marked their experiences in the afternoon was missing when Ladakas met osman in his home. He ordered him out, exclaiming that he had been there for two hours and they were sick of him.
 You're 1iar", Osman shouted at Ladakas. The latter answered by skipping Osman in the face.
 Osman is alleged to have seized a carving knife and to have at- tackled Ladakas, wounding him twice before Mrs Ladakas and her friends separated the struggling men.

FRENCH CASINOS
 REPORT SLUMP IN GAMING TAKES
Frank Jay Gould Revealed . as Gambling King
 of Republic

Paris-UP)-The government made public it's annual report on the winter gambling profits of the 169 casinos In France. which share their kities with the government proving two things; first, that Frank Jay Gould is now the gamb- ling king of France, and second that eother because of economic necessity or a change of conscience, gamblers are risking far less money than formerly.
 The gross profits of the tables during the winter season of 1030- 1881 reached 91,052.000 francs. which represents a decrease of 47.- 500,O00 francs from the peak att tained during the heyday of 1928.
 Gambling Trend
 The following table shows the trend of gambling during the past four winters:
 1927-28 138,b18,000 francs 192S-29 130,835.O00
 decrease 7,6S4,00 1s2s-so 1o7.oss.ooo
 193O-s1 91.O52.0o
 decrease 1b,984, 900
 The municipal casino of Cannes still leads in gambling gains. with a total of 21.S90,000 francs. but Yrank Jay Goulds i've million franc casino, the Mediterranean palace, at Nice, which he advertises as "a place the Caesars could not have built" is a close second. with gains of 21,069.000 francs,
 Favored by Americans
 Gould's second casino. at Juan les Pins, much favored by the American crowds along the Riviera, earned him profits of 2,900.00O francs, which puts the Gould casi- nos well at the top. He has two summer casinos at Granville ana Bagnilles de fOrne. in Normandy
 Nice Is still the greatest gambling center in France. its seven casonis having total profits of 4S.912.o0o francs, followed by Le Touquet. with summer profits of 41.S0S,O00: Deauvilie, with 34.705,S34, and Cannes, three casions. with 26,- O16,000 francs.
 All in all. gamblers in France are retrenching. The absence or the famed Greek syndicate, which re- fuses to pay the French govern ment's increased taxes, is telling on the takes. In 1928, all French casl- nos. summer and winter, had prof its of 413 million francs, but It IS if the summer and win. ter gain this year will total haii that amount.

 The four alleged bandits arrested in the vicitity of Columbia boule- ward were still in the custody of the police today In default of bonds of $1O.000 demanded of each one of them.

Kansas City nearly 20 years, and based on per capita consumption figures is sufficient to provide the needs of the entire United States for more than a month.
 Tn one day last month 2,947 cars were received-a record for all American markets, Theis said
 During the early years of wheat growing in Kansas there was con. siderable apprehension as 10 whether that state, with a crop of 9,0O0,000 bushels, could find an outlet for this "big outfit" To- day that state has far more acres in wheat than the bushel produce of that time. This year Kansas will produce more than 200, ,000. .00e bushels, it's record crop.

Lafayette, Ind, Oct. 24.-At-
tainment Of world prohibition by
observance and enforcement" was
the keynote of an address by Mrs.
Elizabeth T. Stanley, Liberty, pres
ident of the Indiana Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union, at the or
ganization's fifty-eighth annual con-
vention here Friday.
Mrs. Stanley formed her address
as an attack on contentious that
employment would be aided ma
terlally and that revenues would
be increased vastly If light wines
and beer were legalized.
THE vets tell us that thev will
employ 100000 idle men and
women if booze is returned" Mrs.
Stanley said, but we recall that in
the paln1y days Of liquor business
that, according to their own figures.
they employed 498,901 persons, and
of this number 100000 were bar
tenders.
More booze Was sold in a day
before prohibitie than all the boot
leggers together sell now in a
month" Mrs. Stanley asserted.
Mrs. Stanley urged education of
young people as one of the most
effective methods of enforcement.
More than 25,O00,000 persons
have reached the voting age since
prohibition" Mrs. Stanley said.
Millions of these have never seen
an intoxicated man. We must not
let wet forces misguide them"
