Drum Corps Will Head Waterbury Contingent at New Britain Next Saturday When Great est Attendance in His- tory of Soldier Organ izati0n Is Expected

Many Waterbury residents are expected to journey to New Bri- tain next week for the big parade to be held on Saturday as the feat ure attraction of the annual state convention of the American Le- zion. Legionnaires to the number of 10000 will be in line, forming one of the greatest array of march CTS in the states history.
 Waterbury's representatives, Corp Coyle Post with it's now famous life and drum corps will be among the marchers and will compete for the numerous prizes to be offered. The reason for the great lineup of marchers and drum corps is due 10 the fact that the department Le- zion to-day has attained it's greatest membership.
 The convention opens on Thurs day and continues through Friday until Saturday afternoon, closing with the parade. From present in- dications 1t will be an outpouring of marchers such has seldom been seen in the state. The various posts will be on hand in all their col OTIS and banners. The parade is ex- pected to be made more colorful by the appearance of the respec- tive posts in uniforms of distinct style and class.
 Lieutenant Jim Mulvlile is chair man of the committee of the local post in charge of preparing plans for Waterbury's representation. The officer is busily engaged in rounding up every Legionnaire and making efforts to secure transpor- tation for the members to the hardware city. The reelection of Captain E.. P. Armstrong to the of- hce of state treasurer is expected to be but matter of form at the business sessions of the convention. Waterbury. of course is behind the past state commander.

 i, YOUR DOG
BY L. J. BROSEMER Director. Chapel Kennel Foundation

Have someone knock outside the door. If the dog barks, encourage him by commanding Speak. An other way to do this is to say Speak to him just before he is fed. Tempt him with his food. make him sit down by the com mand down" and at the begin ming, consider the least sound or whine from him as sufficient; he will develop the bark later. From this he can be led on gradually to emit his bark at any time on command Speak.

When he returned to his home town
the reporters gathered around to get his
impressions of the great event, but all
he could remember was that he had
seen mouse under the Queens chair.

In the breast of Fire Chief Watson by

Referring to the chancellor's charge
that the National Socialist movement is
illegal, Hitler said:
THE only illegal things about our

The government itself, we can prove,

the past year and 1000 injured"
The movement, Hitler insisted. de-

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Healey Day
Flew Around World in
Small Plane.

Said to be the first Americans to
complete a round-the-wor trip in a
light airplane, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Healey Day, who left the United States
last Spring, are due today at Washing
ton-Hoover Airport on the last lap Of
their fight from New York to New
York.
In their little plane, designed and
built by Mr.. Day, the couple flew from
London to Shanghai and today are
finishing their crossing of North Amer
lea. The Atlantic and Pacific crossings
were made by steamship.
The plane has a 120-horsepower mo-
tor and total weight, fully loaded, of
only 1850 pounds. The cruising speed
is said to be about 95 miles an hour
and the landing speed only Is miles an
hour. It's cruising range is about 40O
miles and their long trip was made in
short stages, made possible by the low
landing speed, which enabled them to
use fields which would have been in
accessible to faster. heavier planes.

DtrLSOn ana me as
representatives Of the approach forcing
system and Messrs. Sidney S. Lenz and
Oswald Jacoby as representatives of the
official system of contract bidding.
Last night was unusual in that at
its very start We assumed the lead in
the score for the second time during
the match. We ended the night with
net lead of 4l0 points. Our opponents
still held a preponderance of the aces
and kings-particularly of the aces
but what I believe to be a more eff
cient system of bidding had enabled
us to reach more frequently and with
greater accuracy that desired end of
all contract players-the best bid in the
combined hands.
Official System Fails.
Time after time was the official sys-
tenn tested by two acknowledged masters
and two worthy representatives, and
more than once, as the hands below dis
close, did this system break down under
the stress and strain of needed accurate
bidding. Sometimes one weakness was
disclosed, at others another was appar-
ent. There was not in the hands the
surplus of brute strength to hide the
weaknesses CT the much advertised sys-
tenn. The fault was not with the play
ers; both of my opponents played with
their usual admirable skill. The fault
was not in their knowledge of the sys-
tenn: in all the world none know it
better

in the match thus far and accentuating
the faults so clearly disclosed last night

Neither side vulnerable.
