THE K KNOCKED
 OUT OF OYSTERS
Automatic Refrigeration Now Makes Oysters an /
 All-Year Food
NO OFF-SEASON NOW

The ''R" has been taken out of Oysters" Connecticut's leading oyster growers report that each year the sale of their product dur ing the once feared summer months is increasing. The devel- opment of automatic refrigeration has been largely responsible for this. It has made possible the same care of sea food in the months which lack the "R" that is possible in the months of Sep- tember, october, November, De- cember, January, February, March and April, which in years gone by were strictly denoted as the "oys- ter season.
 As matter of fact, oyster grow CTS state, there never was any rea- son to fear the consequences of a course of bivalves in July and August. It's far more dangerous to consume any type of sea food in January or February if it hasn't been properly refrigerated. To-day, oysters and other seafood can be kept under. proper temperatures from the time the crop is harvested until it is eaten. It is now even possible to freeze seafood solid and to transport it over almost unlimit. ed distances without fear of spoil age. Summer means nothing, since the coldest temperatures can be maintained by electricity without difficulty on the hottest day of the year.
 Science within a few years has brought about revolution in all of tbo nari sh h1a fondc indTstrins If took a long step when it perfected domestic refrigeration, but 1t then went a lengthy stride further by devising the "quick freezing" pro- cess. Seafood is not just iced these days. It is placed under automatic refrigeration with automatically regulated temperature control or frozen solid, eliminating all chance of spoilage. Constant frigidity is thus maintained and believers in the old "R" bugaboo may now fearlessly cast it into permanent discard.

guide to investment action. Infact- ed by the general pessimism, and without any good reason for their decision, not a few persons have been inclined to sell out in disgust, and retire with their funds. Others. who have accumulated large bal ances in bank, are not disposed to make any active use of them, but are inclined to hold off still fur ther and are thus in a negative way depressing prices for securi- ties. The root trouble seems to be a lack of confidence or belief either in the immediate future or in existing opportunities, as well as in the ability of those now in charge of institutions or govern ments to bring about a more hope full state of affairs. In such cir cumstances, it is not surprising that there should be prevailing air of doubt in many quarters which has its indirect effect upon the market as well as the more ob- vious direct effect which is exhibit ed in the directions alread yindi- cated. Uncertainty and desire to be informed of a definite upward trend in business before taking &C., tion have had their share in in ducing investors, and operators generally, to hold off until they can find some positive ground that will serve as a basis for new turn of affairs. In this position. they have been confirmed by various unfavor- able dividend actions on the part of leading corporations.
 The market has been influenced. no doubt, by some short selling. although 1t is equally true that it has been called upon to absorb some genuine liquidation from peo- pie who have been obliged to sell in order to protect their commit ments in other directions and by others who are apprehensive that values may shrink to still lower levels before business gains any particular headway. Developments, both at home and abroad, in the immediate future, will naturally have a great deal to do in shaping the course of the market. Mean time, there remains, just as hither- to, a large field for the purchase of selling far below even their real pooh NdiuS, eiiu, III SoiiiO SdSSS, cS low the per share worth of their cash and liquid assets. For inves- tors who have the courage, and are in position to look a little ahead. the opportunity for acquiring good securities is certainly a favorable one, even though it may be need full to carry such issues for little while before being able to reap the real profit that eventually will be in store for them.

$SO,00O,OOO in 1914 and $68,000,000 in 1919.
 To show that the entire business was not wiped out by prohibition, the White House obtained census figures of the near beer industry in 1929 which showed 6400 men en- gagged. With total payroll of $12,- 000,000.
 As reported by the United Press ten days ago, President Hoover be- lieves arguments for restoration of beer are illogical and that 1t has no chance of coming back. But he has been reluctant to make any public statement. The time of pro- paganda continued to rise in the form of provocative statements by beer advocates, rumors from every quarter, 'inside tips" of every de- gree, and direct inquiries, all to the general effect that MT Hoover would or should do something.
 To. check it the administration attempted strategem which has gone awry. The plan was to em- ploy the administrators favorite weapon, statistics, gather tbem and have some one else put them out. But another piece of the premature publicity of the kind which has so sorely vexed the White Houes late ly, upset the plan.
 A report that MT Hoover had asked the census bureau for the figures sent two of the White House secretariat, Walter H. Newton and Theodore G. Joslin scurrying into the presidents office. When they came out, Newton said he had re- ceived an inquiry from "outside the White House" for the data and had

Jenusaitis Has
 Cows, Heifers,
 Horses On Hand
One Bull, Two Trucks Included in List of Articles That
 Must Be Sold to Satisfy Judgment-Law Reads Animals Must Be Taken Into Personal Posses
 sion'-Have You a Little Barn to Rent?

5, Deputy Sheriff John Jenusaitis we'll known Brooklyn official, is in a quandry. He will soon take legal possession of IA cows, one bull, six heifers, two horses and two trucks and, according to law, must con- vert them into cash to satisfy a judgment granted several months ago in the common pleas court here. How to take possession of the cattle and trucks has been giv- ing the genial sheriff considerable sleeplessness
 The law says that the sheriff must take the assortment of cattle and machines into his personal possession and auction them off. We'll, if he takes possession, he must move them to Waterbury. And where in Waterbury can one conveniently place IA cows, one bull, six heifers, two horses and two trucks.
 Here's how it happened. On April 9th of this year judgment in the amount of $713.90 was granted in favor of Kidulos Bros against Anthony Markevicas, both of Waterbury. The suit was brought on the grounds that the defendant had failed to pay a debt in the amount of $500. The court found the plaintiffs case had been proved and accordingly entered a plaintiffs Judgment.
 Attorney Michael V. Blansfield. appearing for the plaintiff, secured an order from the court, known as an execution order" which permits in cases where there is no cash to satisfy a judgment, the plaintiff to take possession of goods of the defendant and convert them to cash to satisfy the judgment. The goods in this case are the above named cattle and machines. is Attorney Blansfield turned over 10 Sheriff Jenusaitis the task of converting the stock and machines into cash. Sheriff Jenusaitis went into a huddle with Constable James E. O'Leary who has had consid- erable experience along these lines and they both agreed that the Jaw books should provide a solu-
