 PLACES LARGE
 COPPER ORDER
Contracts for 4,000, ,000 Pounds Statement
 Is Issued

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-F. A. Mer- rick, president of Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Com pany, announces his company had placed orders for four million pounds of copper, an amount far in excess of current general busi- ness demands"
 This large scale commitment, Merrick asserted, was influenced by sound economic factors" and a firm belief that business had turned the corners" as well as by desire to stimulate employ ment in the basic industries.
 'The world isn't finished" his statement said, "and as electricity plays such a large part in our lives we are hopeful that even these large reserves Of copper will shortly need replenishment. Further Buying Planned We fcrsee other opportunities for the purchase of materials and supplies which we hope to take advantage of at the present favor able price levels.
 Tt is my conviction that the work of the committee or indus trial rehabilitation, together with other forces at work, will in a short time provide the stimulus to re-establish individual purchas- ing power, expand credit and re- turn many of our unemployed to gainful occupations"

HUNTERS SPURN
 TAME RACO0NS
Type That Infest Farm. Yards Not Desired By
 State Hunters
STATE BOARD "TREED"

Hartford, Feb 12.-Raccoons that frequent back doors of farm houses in search of food and that exhibit other similar domestic traits are not the type of game de- sired by coon hunters, according to Thomas H. Beck, of Wilton, chairman of the Connecticut state board of fisheries and game.
 To secure wild coons for stock ing of Connecticut woodlands is a problem that, figuratively, has "treed" the state board. We in- tend to purchase a number of rac- coons for stocking purposes pro- vided we can secure wild stock that is suitable for hunting," said MT Beck. Experiments with the propagation of raccons at our Shade Swamp sanctuary have been unsuccessful. We are able to raise the animals but after liber- ation they would seek some nearby farmhouse rather than adapt them- selves to life in the woods to which they were not accustomed.
 "Our only source of supply at the present time is comemrcial breeders and investigations indi- cate that it is impossible to secure wild raccoons from them. We wish to assist 'coon hunters if possible and would welcome information as to where good wild stock is ob- faina hJen

Legion Opposed to Plan of Civil
 Service GrOup

Washington, D. C.-The propos-
 al of the Civil Service commission
 to place ward attendants and kit
 chen employees in hospitals of the Veterans administration OH civil
 service standing has been revived, according to Watson B. Miller, ma tional rehabilitation chairman of ! the American Legion. The views
 of the Legion, vigorously protest
 ing any such action, have been
 submitted to the Veterans' admin
 istratlon by MT Miller.
 Under present arrangements the | officer in charge of a. hospital can
 summarlly dismiss an attendant if
 he is found to be mistreating pa-
 tients or doing his work in an un- satisfactory manner. Should such
 an employe be placed on civil ser
 vice status, he could not be dis
 missed until charges had been pre- ferred and sustained and other red tape unrave!ed.
 The Legion is very much of the opinion, MT Miller said, that no | change should be made which
 would take from the officer in
 charge the authority to employ and dismiss this type of personnel. Few abuses of such authority have been reported, he said. It is understood that Frank T. Hines. administrator of Veterans affairs, shares this viewpoint and Is likely to support
 the Legion protest.

MCLEAN REMOVES PARKING RESTRICTIONS
NEW STORY TOLD
 ABOUT LINCOLN DURING THE WAR
Generals McClernand and Grant Were Involved in Controversy and Linz coin Saw the Way Out

Chicago, Feb 12.-(UP)-Lin- Lincoln's sagacity and loyalty to his friends are proverbial but Lloyd Lewis, Chicago author and Lincoln authority, told a little-known story today, the martyred presidents birthday, in which the two traits are strangely intermingled.
 As Lewis tells 1t:
 September, 1882, found the Civil War in the doldrums. Bat ties in the east left both sides decimated. Northwestern states were on the point of seeding. Fail ure of Union armies to clear the Mississippi left farmers no market for their corn, wheat and hogs.
 "A nervous, black-haired Union general went to Washington, told Lincoln that the only way to save the Union was to capture Vicks- burg and the only way to capture Vicksburg was to allow him to raise a fresh army in the northwest and lead 1t.
 "The general was John A. Mo- Clernand, neighbor and fellow law yer of Lincoln's at Springfield, III.
 Lincoln authorized McClernand to organize recruits in Iowa, h. diana and Illinois and to send them ] south to the end that when a suffi- cient force not required by the op- erations of General Grants com "Jubilant, McClernand raised 60, ,000 men. Meanwhile, in Ten nessee, Grant sensed that strange machinations were going on. He did not intend to let another beat him to Vicksburg. AS fast as Mc- Clernand's fresh levies swarmed into Memphis, Grant placed them under sherman and ordered Sher- man to make a surprise attack on Vicksburg.
 "Sherman finally headed 10000 men. Vicksburg was garrisoned by 5000 Confederates. Grant prom ised to keep 25,000 Confederates under Pemberton busy.
 "McClernand. unaware to what use his troops had been put. ar- rived in Memphis with a bride on his arm. His troops were gone. McClernand steamed downstream after them.
 "He arrived before vicksburg to learn that Grants stratagem had failed. Pemberton's cavalry had destroyed Grants supply depot and the Confederate commander had sent reinforcement to Vicksburg to repell Sherman. But thence forth, McClernand was only 8 cog in Grants wheel.
 "McClernand wondered who had abetted Grant in his maneuver. Many said that Lincoln, convinced Grant was the better commander, was behind it.
 "Grant later relieved McClernand of his command. The latter com plained to Lincoln. He received this reply:
 CT doubt whether your present position is more painful to you than to myself ....
 "'General Grant and yourself have been conspicuous in our most important successes, and for me to interfere and thus magnify breach between you could not but be of evil effect To force me to force you back upon General Grant would be forcing him to re- sign. I cannot give you new con- mand because we have not forces except such as already have com manders .. .. He who has the

Pile Sufferers
Can You Answer These Questions? ?

Can You Answer These Questions? :? Do you know why external rem edies do not give quick and per- manent relief?
 Why cutting does not remove the cause?
 Do you know the cause of Piles is internal?
 That there Is congestion of blood in the lower bowel-the veins flabby, the parts almost dead?
 Do you know that there is a harmless internal remedy for itch ing, bleeding or protruding piles discovered by Dr Leonhardt and known as HEM-ROID that is guaranteed?
 HEM-ROID banishes piles by re- moving the cause. It stimulates the circulation in the lower bowel drives out the thick impure blood. heals and restores the affected parts.
 Dr. Leonhardt's HEM-ROID has an almost unbelievable record of success right in this city. So why waste time on external remedies or worry about an operation when Apothecaries Hall Co. invites every Pile sufferer to try HEM-ROID with guarantee of money-back if 1t does not end their Piles no matter how stubborn the case?

Of late there have been indications of a flareup among the drivers and Superin- tendent Mclean decided to-day to make a change. There is ample room for at least six taxis to be parked In the old hack stand. In- cidentally word has been passed on to the taxi operators that they are to conduct themselves in a manner that will not be annoying to the general public or to passers- by. Pitching pennies or dimes will not be numbered among the approved pastimes for leisure driv- CTS.

 Orders were also issued this .morning allowing more space for .taxis on Meadow street, near the Union station. The change, how ever, will not affect the parking of Yellow Cabs on the railroad prop : crty.
