Federal Aid Roads
Connecticut and Rhode Island at Bottom of List,
Bridgeport Mayor Declares

While Texas leads the nation in
the number of miles of federal air
roads already constructed and un-

Rhode Island are at the bottom of

Texas in the construction of 6,979.5
miles of road which already have

an additional 1888 miles which
are now under construction,
Mayor Buckingham said.
Connecticut with more miles of

completed while 40 miles of such
highways are under construction"
he added. Rhode Island has PISA

WILBY REGISTRATION SHOWS 215 INCREASE
MUTUAL AID
RELIEF FUND
Willow Street Woman
Sets Good Example for
All HOusekeepers
A CHEERFUL GTvER

Today the drive for funds for the
unemployment relief system was
reported as making much head
way with Chairman William M.
Harris expressing confidence that
before October LIST the income as
sured for the winter months will
be sufficient to care for the needy
of Waterbury.
An example to other persons in
the city not actually reached by
the canvassers in search of pledges
was created today by Willow
street woman, in the opinion of
Chairman Harris. This woman,
married and the head of a house
hold. sent in letter voluntarily
pIedging herself to give rs cents
weekly to the unemployment fund.
Today's letter was accompanied by
the first rs cents. If others not
reached would volunteer financial
assistance, no matter how small
the amount is. Mr. Harris pointed
out, the fund would be aided con-
siderably and the relief officials
would be greatly encouraged.
Approximately 40 more en-
ployes of the Scovill Manufacture
ing company were released yester-
day, 1t was learned today. thereby
adding more to the task facing the
Unemployment relief committee.
The employees laid off were given
an indefinite leave of absence and
today many of them applied at the
office of the unemployment relief
committee in search of some kind
of work so as to help them over
the period that they will be de-
prived of their usual weekly in
come.
How long the lay-off of the forty
hands will last is matter of doubt.
However, with the claim that
things are improving. the layoff
of so many employees yesterday
served to create quite surprise in
the CITY.

The figures quoted by Mayor
Buckingham are as of June 30th.
Throughout the country, he said,
16,479 miles of federal-aid roads
were under construction while
2,978 miles had been approved for
construction. Mayor Buckingham
added that there was available to
states for road construction $780,
63S,8SS.
ultimately" Mayor Bucking-
ham said, when the system of
state and federal highways now be-
ing built is completed, practically
every city and town of 5000 or
more inhabitants will be connect
ed. Under this plan, 80 per cent
of the nations population will live
within ten miles of federal-aid
road and practically all of the re-
naming 10 per cent will be close
to a state road"

the market at any price. That sort
of psychology seems to have disap-
peared.
II think this stability is a rather
interesting symptom and it looks
significant" he said. 1T indicates
a stimulation of buyer interest
not the ordinary buyer who goes
in to get a collar or tie, but the
big buying agent, who now appar-
emily is beginning to prick up his
ears.
Seeing the price curve moving
along a steady line, he says to him
self that he had better get in and
buy before it turns upward. Some
thing of this sort of feeling and
activity seems to be in prospect"

The Unexpected Counts.

the bacon; but the one who does the
unexpected-that something which no
body is looking for, but when 1t comes,

This is the prelude to the story OF
how Fiji Dorsay broke into the talkies.
Fiji was a radio star and she deserted
the air for the noise 1t carrieS-and
how! She began by going in strong for
attractive photographs of herself. She
also knew that the girl with the French
accent got further than the one without
it when locking for a job.
Tucking her photographs under her
arm. she toddled to one of the Swanky
Fifth avenue shops and applied for the
job of model, strongly accenting her
vernacular, for Fiji is French Canadian
and had not then been to Paris She
got the job and got away with it to the
keen satisfaction of the firm, who told
her they were very well satisfied when.
later. she finally decided to tell them
the whole truth.
Squaring herself there. she hied her
self to the theater and secured a job
as chorus girl with the Gallagher &
Shean show, by convincing the COM
edians that French version of their
famous song as sung by herself in
French, would make a hit. They weak
ened and she made the hit, a sensa-
tional hit.
Soon afterward she was cast to play
