Mayors Private Secretary in Talk at Red Triangle Also Discusses City Welfare and Personal Tax epartmentS-BOOSts Water System

Mir St Louis is private secretary to Mayor Hayes.
 MT St Louis also commented upon the water supply system of Water- bury pointing to the Shepaug en- gineering feat. which guarantees this city and the whole Naugatuck valley q water supply forever. It could even come to the aid of New Haven, if necessary. Because of the foresight of the city engineers. this is the best system in Connecticut.
 Another feature mentioned was the unemployment service. The way the city handles the situation, said the speaker, made 1t possible for the city to float its last loan. He continued by saying that the un- employment service was the most unique in the country and MT Harris and others responsible had received congratulations form Pres- ident Herbert Hoover on the way it is handled. $800.000 has been contributed so far by the cit- iZens which has enabled the city to keep the tax rate down. MT St Louis praised the work of the factories in that they were match ing dollar for dollar given the un- employed by their employees. He said that one-tenth of the city's population is being aided by this service. which. by giving man work, enables him to maintain his self-respect as 0 worker and pre- vents him from being listed as a pauper.
 MT St Louis concluded his talk by explaining the operation of Brookside home and the Isolation hospital and their relation to city government.

ports are available. The estimate is based upon the monthly reports of about 220 companies which in the past have been found to reflect general trends quite accurately. For the year of 1890, these companies showed a decrease of 7.5 per cent from the 1929 levels, so during the two years of depression electric railways, including their affiliated bus lines, have suffered a loss in traffic of something less than seven- teen per cent.
 These tremendous losses in pas sengers have brought about an al- most complete revolbution in inter- urban street railway transportation, wherein Connecticut has been no exception. Throughout the coun- try, as in this state, trolley com panies have been replacing the street car with busses on the lines which have undergone the greatest losses, the interurban lines. Wher- ever traffic dropped below the point where the expenditures necessary for the maintenance Of trolley equipment could not be met, the companies were forced to replace the trolley with bus service and thus economize in every way possi- blp.

 TRAFFIC SLUMP New England's Loss 5.S Per Cent in l93l-Less
 Than Elsewhere GENERAL LOSS 0.5

For the year of 1881, 1t is esti- mated from the monthly reports of the American Railway association that electric railways and their af- flliated bus lines throughout New England suffered loss of traffic of 5.S per cent as compared with the previous year, which in turn show ed a loss of Fl per cent from the year of 1929. The figures are based upon the reports of fifteen New England street railways which op- crate on 2,735 miles of track and 1924 miles of bus route.
 For the country as a whole, the association estimates loss of traf- fic for 1881 of 9.5 per cent as com pared with 1930, although this is a preliminary figure subject to cor rection when more complete re-

gave promise that by the close OF
the sessions with Captain Apple
jack" a fairly efficient group will
have developed all the fun there is
in a distinctive piece OF playWrit-
ing from the pen of Walter Hackett.
More like a modern distillation Of
historic melodrama is this mixture
of dream and reality-a rough
emphasis. perhaps. on the futility
of strictly regulated family routine,
covering the daily tasks OF the per-
son who has aimed to be conspicu-
ously respectable. but has naively
taken unto himself the thought that
there is adventure in the great world,
which he ought to share. Finally,
when treasure in the house has sub
jected him to the horrors Of night
visits by violent searchers for the
wealth that lies hidden, slumber
leads him at last to the adventure
Of which he has had day visions,
and he becomes, in his imagination,
chief Of pirate crew.
1t is probably worth while for the
National Theater Players to move
over into the department of melo-
dramatic farce. 1t brings new ac-
quaintance with their talents and
ability as entertainers, which is par
ticularly appreciated by the patrons

SPRING
DRILL FOR CUBS

Training games will be cut to
the bone by the major league
teams next year. Plans of three
clubs show that they already have
reduced their training schedule
time to about a month. The
Cubs, beaten in the world series
by the Yankees in sweep of
four games, were declared by
President veeck Of the Chicago
team to have been stale VIXEN
they faced the New York Ameri-
can League champions.
To Cut Drills
Veeck announced that the Cubs
spring drills would be shorter,
that the club probably would not
assemble before the second week
in March and would leave the
Golden West by April /. The
players will do much of their
pracUicing at Wrigley Field in
Chicago.
No sooner had Veeck announced
the tentative Cub plans than the
st. Louis Cardinals owners an
nounced that only three weeks
would be spent next spring in
Florida and the fourth week
would be taken up by the return
trip home.
Three Weeks Enough
President Sam Breadon of the
Cardinals thinks that too much
time is spent in training by major
league teams. He said the other
day that the Cardinals would
have three weeks of intensive
work and that they would take
the week before the opening of
the season making the trip home
by easy stages. There will be
fewer exhibition games on the St.
Louis list in 1893.
