Lonergan To
 Support Hoover
Agrees With President on Two Vital Issues, Morato
 rum and BuiIding Funds Plan x.

In an interview given out to the Hartford C0urant, Congressman Augustine Lonergan of Hartford outlines what his attitude will be at the next session of congress. He states that he will put country be- fore party and he believes that most proposals submitted to congress next month will be of a non-partis- an character. The congressman Is will ing to support the president on the moratorium question, so long as the money due the United States is not used to provide armaments. He would have the use of the mon- ey put subject to the approval of the United States. Mir Lonergan states that he will also support the president in the effort to raise funds for the building of homes In the country at reasonable prices.
 One gets a pretty good idea or the amount of money old world na- tions owe this country by follow ing the figures given, in one para graph In which the congressman states that foreign countries owe the United States government ap- proximately $1.000,000,000, that private loans from private sources of the United States to European countries total $15,000,000,000 and that short term loans approximate a total of $1,500, 100000 making the total European debt to the United States .000,000,000.
 The congressman believes prohi- bition is a failure. He voted against the eighteenth amendment and gives the following reasons why he opposes 1t now:
 "The national prohibition law has been a failure" he declared. After a trial of more than 12 years. the country has learned that 1t is unin- forceable, due to the fact that 1t Is not supported by popular opinion.

Beginning today. Monday. No- vember 16th, the principals of the high and grammar schools in con junction with the athletic directors. will launch a campaign to make the Crosby-Wilby football game oI Thanksgiving morning, the most successful from the financial polnt of view, in the history of hign school athletics in Waterbury.
 The publicity campaign on tnis game was scheduled to start to- day, but in one way or another, 1t began prematurely several days ago. with the result that announce ments due to be made today have already been made. They will be made again here so that all who read may understand exactly the set-up of this game.
 The Crosby Wilby Thanksgiving football game has been played an- nually since 1924. Some of the games have been close and hard fought, others not so close. All have been colorful affairs, well- attended by students, alumni and friends of each school. The gate receipts from this game have ale ways been fairly high ranging from $2,500, down to about half that sum last year. The profit to the school athletic association has run from $560, the minimum, to slight ly over $1,000 each. The profit on this game has always been the backlog, which has enabled the schools not only to meet the ex- penses of the football season but also to pay the deficits on baseball, track, swimming, etc.
 Due to the lack of an enclosed field during the past two years both schools have suffered finan- cially until the present fall found them actually in debt. Newspaper reports to the contrary, athletics Tn Waterbury schools are entirely self-supporting, as there is no ap- propriation whatever for such a purpose. Because of local condi- tions during the past two years, when all outdoor games had to be played on an open field, the Crosby A. A. was nearly $500 in debt at the beginning of the present foot ball season. Wilby High school was in in even a more desperate plight than Crosby, as Wilby's debt was larger, and Wilby Is absolute ly dependent on the Thanksgiving day game to meet her debts. Cros- by's position Is not quite so bad. as C. v has the proceeds of Sat- urd; .laugatuck game to meet her cations. Even in the case of Crosby, however, it must be re-

membered that Naugatuck comes to Waterbury every second year, and the proceeds of this game have to be budgeted over two years.
 Realizing the strengthened con- dition of many of their youngsters, the athletic directors of the local high schools made no effect to form a student athletic association this year. Ordinarily the students contribute one dollar each, at the opening of school in September. This contribution makes them members of the A. A. and entities them to admittance to most games during the year. At Crosby, the sum this realized annually runs up tn over $500. It was not raised this year. Of the football games play ed up to the Naugatuck game all of Crosby's were out-of-town with the exception of two. On the out of-town games only expenses were received. Of the two home games, the Naugy game excepted, one game showed no profit whatever. and the other showed a profit of $228.O0. Until the Naugy game Saturday, this was the entire re- venue of the Crosby A. A. this year. Only twenty-five cents was charged adults for the games and students and school children were asked to volunteer ten cents. If they hadn't 1t, they were admitted free. <,
 With both schools then heavily in debt, they were approached on the feasibility of using the Thanks giving day game as a means of ob- taining money for the milk fund. No request was made to turn over the entire proceeds of the game. On the contrary, the financial Situ- ation of the schools received very fair ideration on the part of all, and 1t was clearly and definite iy explained to the athletic direc- tors that they should take what ever they considered sufficient to meet the expenses of the year. Be cause of the fact that both schools already owed over $500 each, be- cause Wilby had absolutely no other source of revenue, and be- cause the Crosby Naugy game was still on the lap of the Gods. with no one able to predict the size of the gate which would be affected by weather conditions, a sum of $7OO.00 was fixed for both schools
 This sum was just about, or rather was somewhat under the average made by each school during the past six years. With Hamilton Park now enclosed 1t was felt that this sum would easily have been collected this year. t5 In past years, there was nc

Lavender. Gray. Not
Always Good for Age

II Is difficult to understand how
lavendar and gray were ever
chosen as the most suitable col
ors for old ladies with gray or
white hair. Occasionally these
colors are vastly becoming to old
ladies. But usually they r the
very most unbecoming colors that
could be chosen.

older women needs something
more definite. brighter OF darker
than these dainty, pastel colors to
bring out its best qualities. Really

color about an old face. The red
In so soft that II Is not harsh: and
its richness and warmth are re-
fiected in the colorless face above
it.
The type of woman who prob
ably gave gray and lavendar their
popularity as colors for the elder
ly must have hair that is either
pure white or a clear gray. There
must be none of the yellow or
greenish or brown shades so
usual in grazing or whitening
hair. The complexion must be
fair and smooth and fine. with an
absence OF sandy. sal,ow or rudy
hue. And since gray is a large
color, the woman who wears 1t
we'll must be sligr and slender.
Browns generally are colors
that should be avoided by the wo-
man with white or gray hair.
Navy blue. and indeed many other
of the deeper, darker shades Of
blue. are good. Black and white
together are usually becoming,
whereas gray is deadening.
White alone is usually becom-
ing. Older women seem TO have
discovered this fact OF recent
years, and you see many more OF
them wearing 1t now than you
used to. Cream white Is the tone
to choose rather than deaj white.
