Thousands of Waterburians be-
lieved early this morning that the
Lindbergh baby had been found.
Forgetting the intensity of the
wind and rain story which was
holding the city within it's grasp,
they Immediately jumped at the
conslusion that Indy, Jr, had been
found when at 1870 o'clock this
morning they heard the factory
whistles blowing. The Democrat
was deluged with inquiries. And
the only beneficiaries of the sound
ing of the whistles were the school
children. The whistles meant mo
school,"
Despite the severity of the rain
and wind storm which struck the
city, no damage of any great
amount was reported. Public
utility companies escaped without
any interruption in service and
the street department officials
stated that no reports of damage
to public highways had been filed.
However, with the heavy rain
fall, the rivers and brooks through
out the city rose considerably and
in. several sections flooded cellars
were constantly feared and ex-
pected.
Harold G.. Davis of the Southern
New England Telephone company
reported that the overhead wires
of the concern were holding out
splendidly in the face of the wind
and that no underground cable
trouble because of superfiuous
water had been reported.
The Connecticut Light and
Power company issued a similar
report. The Connecticut company,
according to Charles M. Chapman.

capped any interruption in service,

Blowing of Whistles Calling Off Morning Session of
Schools, Assumed By Some to Be Signal That
i Lindbergh Baby Had Been Found - Newspaper

So severe was the rainfall, how
ever, that it caused brooks and
rivers in this vicinity to rise con-
siderably. The rainfall let up to-
wards noon, however, bringing re-
lief to many persons worried.
The storm started with a gentle
rainfall early last evening. Within
a few hours, whipped by a. strong
wind, the rain took on storm pro-
portions and this condition persist
ed up until noon.
The whistles were blown to let
school children know they were not
to come to their studies when 1t
was felt that weather conditions
were too severe. The whistles
were sounded at 1880 o'clock, as is
the usual custom.
But in the past two years these
whistles have not sounded. There
fore, they came as q surprise to-
day and persons who had read
state news that whistles would be
blown when the 4Lindbergh child
was found took it for granted that
this good news was being broad
cast. However, Waterbury factor
les or officials had not joined In
this plan. However, newspapers
were deluged with queries: School
children who waited for whistles
to again blow showing postpone
ment of the afternoon session were
disappointed, however The whistles
didn't blow and Waterbury's thou
sands Of school children took up
their books at l o'clock and made
their reluctant and weary ways to
school, no doubt finding fault with
the weatherman for not continu-
ing his attack of the elements on
the city until after the time for
ringing the afternoon bell.

(BY UNITED PRESs)

Washington, March 2S-One job
of American embassies and lega-
tions is to keep the state depart
ment informed as to foreign opin-
ion on world affairs. There are
confidential reports, reviews of
opinion, and plain clippings from
newspapers.
All this comes along in the en-
bassy mail-nice, sealed packets
and bags, which move about the
world under diplomatic immunity
and with great official attention.
The state department the other
day extracted from the mass of inn
portant documents nothing more
nor less than a newspaper cartoon,
from the Manchester Guardian.
The cartoon by Low bore the
caption 1.-The World Situation at
a Glance"
There was map Of the world
and Cartoonist Low saw 1t like
this:
In Washington Mr. Hoover sat in
Ghardi-like pose beside a farmer.
"Mr Hoover trying to explain the
middle west" the inscription said.
In the background bank was ex-
ploding.
In Ottawa was figure down on
his knees with hand at his ear.
1t was "Mr Bennett canadian

leo was boy selling apples.
South America presented just
one figure, man drinking from
a cup. South America Living on
it's own Coffee" was what Low
said there.

dominating figure and in England

Down in Africa trio of savages
danced over the label: "Savages

And in far away Australia Prime
Minister Lang crouched on hands
and knees looking at the world

Probably no document arriving
in that particular mail was in as
great demand at the state depart
ment. Almost everyone had a look
at 1t.

Mutual Aid Not
To Change Quarters
Harris Secures Permission to Remain at Very Low
Rate of Rental

pared to 60 into session. Chair
man William M. Harris Of the un-
employment body, in a talk this
morning with Arthur J. Lunny,
owner of the building in which the
present relief quarters are now To-
Gated. obtained a tentative promise
to the effect that the present loca-
ton will not be subjected to any
transfer for the six months after
May LIST when the new relief pro-
gram will go into effect.
1t was pointed out this morning
by Chairman Harris that when the
local relief work was started, Mr.
Lunny gave a portion of his build
ing on Field street to the commit
tee free of charge, the under
standing being that the premises
would be used for four months
This permission was extended to
10 months.
Then, due to tax expenses and
the cost of heating the offices, Mr.
Lunny asked for some remunera-
ton and he has been taken care of
since by the city, through the eff
forts of Mayor Frank Hayes.
Mr. Lunny, 1t is understood, has
agreed to allow the relief commit
tee to continue in its present quar-
tiers at a relatively low rate Of
monthly rental. This figure will
be considered this afternoon at the
meeting of the unemployment body.
1t is expected that the figure asked
by Mr. Lunny, being quite reason
able, will be approved by the re-
lief committee at this afternoons
session.
The fact that Mr. Lunny gave a
portion of his Field street property
free to use to the relief commit
tee for ten months makes him one
of the largest individual donors
to the unemployment cause In Wa
terbury. it was pointed out by Mr.
Harris this morning.
Treasurer Lewis S. Reed. In a
financial report issued to-day. dis
closed the balance on hand in the
unemployment fund to-day is
.$17,202.S3, or almost $4,000 greater
than the balance Of week ago.
Receipts during the past week were
$1O,627.21 and the disbursements
were SS,924.S9.
At this afternoons meeting of
the relief committee 1t was expect
ed further steps towards circulate
ing the new pledges for unemploy-
ment work would be taken.

During the course of the picture,

of thrills which are not only highly
exciting for those audiences alone.
but which are rarely seen even in
the country in which they were film
ed. He treats them to a spectacle
of great man-eating tiger at death
grips with thirty-foot python; the
scene of a black panther in a fero-
cious battle with another tiger; the
showing of a monstrous crocodile
crushed by the powerful coils of a
great snake; the sight of a greedy
and maddened leopard gored by a
wild buffalo. Not one foot of the
film was taken elsewhere but in the
grim Malalyan jungle-eountry; not
one incident recorded was the pro-

serving and preserving the assets of
the institution and for the purpose
of affording protection to the policy
holders and stockholders.
Mr.. A. A. Mckinley was selected
as receiver because of his long ex-

receiver, the Federal Court stated
from the bench that the appointment
was being made not for the purpose
of wrecking the Victory Life Insur-
ance Company, but for the purpose
of preserving and saving this out
standing institution
THE court also stated that a Cor
poration of this size, (the assets OF
Victory Life Insurance Company to-
falling nearly $1,O00,O00.OO), shoulc
be operated and would be operated
by the court on the most economical
basis.
