Relations between them were
strained for awhile.
Then Val saw that Aunt
Julia was sorry, trying to cook
things she liked best, having
eclairS and ice cream for des-
sert. So they made up.
A plan began to form in her
mind. She could call him at
his office, be very gay and
friendly, just as if nothing had
happened and Say:
Aunt Julia made some lemon
pie today. Want to come to
dinner?"
She practiced saying it. 1t
sounded all right. Any girl
could call any boy, and ask
him a thing like that. He
wouldn't think a thing Of it.
Yes, he would. He'd think
she was just like all the rest

She went into the hall, and
sat by the telephone, head in
her arms, trying not to call
him.

Two Sides to the Land Annuities
Nice Point of Law Involve ed in Question Over
 Payment

Much interest is centered in the differences between Ireland and Great Britain about payment of land annuities. They have not been paid in Northern Ireland. This of course prompts the inquiry as to why they should not be paid there as well as in the other districts. But that is not the basis for the objection on the part of the Free State. The claim Is made that British took the land from the peo- pie without any compensation and that 1t is mariifestly unfair to conn pei them to pay for buying it back from people who never had any just title to it. The money paid by the Irish farmers should remain in ireland. This is the contention of De Valera, and the people decided on that policy at an election in which this was one of the princi- pal subjects discussed in the press and from the platform.
 only one side of the question Ia being put before the outside world, and naturally many who mean to be fair are not in possession of the facts. Another thing that should not he lost sight of. Ireland buys as much from Britain as Britain does from Ireland, so that if in case the boycott goes into effect 1t will work both ways. In any event, what is going on shows that there is a nice question of law involved about the annuities. 1t is claimed that this advancement was made without the authority of the Dublin parliament

Highway Dept
 B Years Old

With the tremendous traffic of a holiday weekend sweeping over it in every section of the state, the Connecticut highway system, consisting of more than 2,000 miles of paved roadway, is inanimateiy celebrating its 35th birthday.
 Thirty years ago this month, on July l, 1897 to be exact the Con- necticut highway system came into existence with the ablishment of the State Highway department as the states first single headed com- mission. During it's 35 years of service to the state, the highway department has completed an ex- pansive network of smooth high ways, second to none in the coun- try. Road building dates back more than 1000 years to the con- struction of the historic Appian Way from Rome to Capua in 3l2 B. c. and nations and states have been striving ever since that time to connect their cities with paved highways. Few however, can boast of a greater percentage of well paved roads than Connecticut.

C. M. T. Camps
 Open To-day
75 Waterbury Youths En-
 rolled This Year

To-day the Citizens Military Training Camps are opening for the twelfth successive season. The government through the War De- pertinent Is giving without cost to 35,000 boys thirty days of army camp life.
 About seventy-five Waterbury boys are expected to attend three of the camps being held in the New England area at Fort Adams, R. l., Fort Devens, Mass, and Fort
 Ethan Allen, Vt. More than one hundred twenty-five boys from this city made application for the camps but due to the great popularity of the c. M. T. c. the quota for this district was filled at any early date and many were disappointed when
 they were notified that they had applied too late.
 As the boys arrive at camp to-
 day they will at once go through
 the processing plant. This in-
 wolves strict physical examina-
 ton, changing from civilian garb
 to khaki uniform, and being as-
 signed to companies, batteries. or
 troops as the case may be. The
 first year students, known as "ba-
 sics'' will get their first taste of army "mess" but as past camp re- cords show that the thirty day camp almost invariably results in increas- ing the boys weight the quality of the food is beyond question of the
 best. The "reds" or second-year boys will be busy showing the rook- ies the fine points of soldering and will be making an effort to impress the officers with their qualities of leadership in the hope that they
 may be among those chosen for duty as student corporals. All third year students or whites" will act as sergeants and the fourth-year group, the "blues" will hold rank as student captains and lieutenants. Organization will be complete in a few days time and next week the regular schedule of drill and mili- tary instruction in the morning and in full swing. In the late afternoon
 of each day regimentaI parade is held and the boys look forward with delight to the thrill of march ing in review to a stirring tune played by a regular army band. Prizes are offered for excellence in all phases of the program. The Waterbury chapters of the Sons of the American Revolution and the Reserve Officers Association will present medals to local boys who make the best records. Corporal Coyle Post No l American Legion
 has sponsored c. M. T. c. club for the past three years and the Le-
 zion Home on Holmes avenue is looked upon as c. M. T. c. local
 headquarters.

 Lines Are Hit
Five Cables Rendered Inoperative-2O Lines and A Stations Out of Service-26 Lines and 50 Sta- lions in Thomaston Unable to Function

and three telephones were affected. All this trouble was expected to be cleared by noon.
 The storm broke at about 3 o. clock. Heavy wind heralded it's approach. A heavy downfall of rain was noted but it was not suf- ficiently severe to cause serious washouts.
 Radios were rendered practically useless due to the great amount of static. Thousands of Waterburians who desired to listen in on the democratic national convention proceedings were obliged to give up or remain tuned in under very trying conditions as their radios roared almost continually in the face of the electrical storm.
 Three local interruptions were experienced by the Connecticut Light and Power company, all in the eastern section of the city. At 9:20 o'clock last night the limb of a tree near the corner of Niagara and Silver streets fell and tore wires down causing an interruption through the Silver street sub-sta- tion.
 The next interruption came at the same point sometime later when the lightning caused an oil switch to open. Later, still, the limb of tree fell across wires on the Meri- den road near the Frost road. Wires were damaged in this in- stance, also. All three interrup- tions were quickly repaired.

Public utility companies suf- fered considerably last night as a result of the severe electrical storm which visited the city and ragged until the early hours of this morning. Electric light service was interrupted and up and down the valley telephone lines were rendered out of service in numer- ous instances. No reports of places being struck by the lightning were received in the city, however. No severe washouts were reported to the street department.
 Five large telephone cables were rendered out of service during the storm, four in this city and one in Thomaston exchange. This morn ing three of the cables in this city were reported back in service, while 1t was expected that the other local cable and the one in Thomaston would be repaired by noon hour.
 Since Il o'clock last night emergency repair crews of the Southern New England Telephone Company have been on the job battling against the storms dam age. Waterbury and Thomaston telephones suffered . the most. There 20 lines and A telephones put out of service here while in Thomaston 26 lines and 59 tele- phones were interrupted.
 In Watertown six lines and six telephones were rendered out of order while in Naugatuck two lines

 New York, July 2-UP)-All financial markets were closed here to-day until after the Independ- ence day holiday Monday, with the New York cotton exchange the only major commodity market to function. Banks remained open.
 The week on the stock exchange wh.ch ended yesterday was un- eventful. Trading fell off to the lishtest levels in 8 decade. Prices moved irregularly.
 Early in the week all the 1ead- CTS broke into new low levels for the bear market, the railroad and industrial averages making new lows.
 The market . lacked favorable items to set off 8 rise rather than suffered from adverse factors. There was a long list of dividend changes that had temporary effect and business failed to advance in any sector.
 Among the dividend eliminations were Westinghouse Electric com- mon; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe common; Delaware, LackaWan- na & Western railroad and Allis Chalmers. Norfolk & Western and General FoOds-reduced their dfvi- dends. Regulars were declared by American Can and Allied Chemi- cal.
 Business news showed the steel industry operating at 15 per cent with prospects of, lower rates in the holiday shutdowns; lower prices for steel scrap; decline in automobile output; drop in copper prices and a sharp decline in auto mobile output; drop in copper prices and a sharp decline in bank clearings.
 On the favorable side were a rise of about 19,000 cars in the weekly loading report; highly fa- vorable oil statistics; a rise in the Broadstreet food index and a rise in the annalist commodity price in- dex.

 The weekly federal reserve re- port showed a rise of $144,0O0, 900 in money in circulation, the latter mostly due to series of bank clos ings in Chicago; a drop to a new low in brokers loans, indicating re- duced interest in the stock market which was at new low ebb for many years and a sharp increase in purchase of government securities, indicating resumption of a more vigorous scale of the reserve easy money policy.
