Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald to-day added to the lengthy list of road building jobs ! now being undertaken in Connecti- I cut thirteen new projects involving l the improvement of more than thirty-six miles of highway in fif- teen different towns. The new projects Included federal aid emer- gency, state trunkline and town aid work.
 The two Federal aid emergency | projects, made possible at this time through President Hoover's | reconstruction program, will be un- dertaken on Route No 14, tho southerly cross-state route which parallels both N. s. Route No 6 and Route No. 101. One project calls for about two miles of re- inforced concrete pavement some- what east of Lake Pocotopaug in the towns of East Hampton and Marlboro, while the other involves about one and one-half miles of concrete paving where the high way passes Quassapaug pond in the towns of Middlebury and Woodbury.
 In the federal aid contracts, it is provided that skilled and un- skilled laborers will not be permit ted to work more than thirty hours in any one week and that the min- mum wage paid to all unskilled labor employed shall be thirty. five cents per hour and to all skilled labor employed fifty cents an hour. The provisions have been included to spread employment among as many workers as possible. Elm ploymento1 labor will rest entirely with the contractors to whom the jobs are awarded.
 Among the three trunkline projects are two running about two miles in length an drequiring bitu- minous traprock macadam. One will be undertaken on Route No 68 in Naugatuck between Union City. Prospect and West Cheshire, while the second will take place on Route No. 80 in the town of sherman.

lege division this would give Hoover 93 votes to Roosevelt's 135.
 The significant feature of the poll is that nearly 40 per cent of Roosevelt's strength is coming from former republican voters as against nearly 45 per cent from democrats while Hoover Is gaining only slightly over 6 per cent of his votes from erstwhile democrats and 80 per cent from republican adherents, according to an analysis of ef.a "how !, the same voters voted in
 On the basis of the current re- turns each of these political rivals Is carrying his opponents home state. Roosevelt is leading in Cali fornia with 63.08 per cent of the states total vote while Hoover leads Roosevelt in. New York with 47.22 per cent of the states vote. as against Roosevelt 43.46 per cent.
 Roosevelt continues to lead Hoo- yer in Pennsylvania by a 10 per cent margin. gaining over 46 per cent of his strength here from re- publican voters att he last quad renial election.
 The returns from Maine show an opposite trend from the recent gu- bernatorial election there. Hoover Is carrying the state by a percent age of 55.15 to Roosevelt's 40.44 although Roosevelt is drawing more of his votes from republican ranks than he is from democratic.
 Hoover leads in Massa chusetts by the comfortable margin of 55.27 to 34.26 per cent over his opponent and the president is also ahead in Connecticut by. practically the same ratio.
 Ohio gives Roosevelt clear ma jority of the states vote with the president trailing with 42.12 per cent of the total tabulated so far. Tn Illinois and Indiana. the demo- cratic candidate also has a major ity while his republican rival is polling 1886 per cent and 44.17 per cent respectively in these states.
 Similar to last weeks returns, in none of the eleven states reporting is Roosevelt shown obtaining less than 25 per cent of his strength from the republican columns while Hoover does not obtain more than 8 per cent of his current votes from democratic partisans of four years ago.

Boat Dashed to Bits on Bleak North Pacific Island-39 Seamen and Passengers. Perish

Victoria, B. C., Sept 30-CU. P.) -Wind-whipped, raging seas that sent the steamer Nevada to a wa- terys grave in the North Pacific brought death to 39 seamen and passengers, and sent courageous radio operator to his death, radio messa ges from the Dollar Liner, President Madison said to-day.
 The Madison is proceeding here with the three survivors of the cat astrophe, they related a tale of heroism and horror in brief radio messages. They are James Thorsen and Fritz Dcwall, Portland.

 William R. Robertson. Redondo Beach, Cal. the radio operator, locked himself in his cabin and continued to send out messages for help long after the Nevada had crashed ashore and mountainous waves pounded over her, breaking her to bits, the survivors said.
 Robertson died at his post, at- tempting to repair his sending ap- paratus broken by the pounding waves and wind.
 Captain T. w. Johansen and third mate c. A. Johnson, both of Portland, leaped into the sea ra- ther than remain on the doomed vessel, the survivors said.

 A state by state tabulatfon, which The Literary Digest cautions may be far from indicative of the final result. shows California vot- Hoover 4,119, Roosevelt 7,985; Connecticut: Hoover 5,441, Roose- welt 3,379; Illinois: Hoover 2,601, Roosevelt 3,06S; Indiana: Hoover 3,399, Roosevelt 3,951; Maine: Hoover 1890, Roosevelt 1.239; Massachusetts: Hoover 6,847.

Roosevelt 21,S33; and West Virginia: Hoover 3,322, Roosevelt 5,039.
 "Our tabulation is till small. and tentative" The Literary Digest states editorially, although it cov- CTS more than twice as many states as last week.
 Eleven states are included in the scanty preliminary returns. Six new ones are added to the five which figured in our first report.
 "The combined eleven give us a fleeting total of 222,014 ballots tabulated at the time this isue of The Digest goes to press and the details will be found full of sur prises and juicy food for specula- tion.
 Let it be repeated, however, that the poll is still too much of baby for anybody to treat 1t as an oracle. Not until it has grown tot the stature of forty-eight states with millions of votes piling up in the candidates columns will the wise man venture any prophetic stuff and even then will keep an eye open for last-minute surprises.
 Maine catches the eye because of it's much-talked-of election of democratic governor. Well, Maine gives us a little surprise for she happens to stand over 55 per cent for Hoover in this report, giving the president 1890 ballots against 1,239 for Roosevelt. However next weeks poll may throw a different light on Maine's eminent toward the presidency.
 "An extraordinary thing about Roosevelt's apparent majority in

Pennsylvania, as it stands, is that it includes more former republi- cans than former democrats-10,- ,- 211 of the former and 7,703 of the latter, but again many of the re- publicans' may be democrats who became Hoover voters four years ago.
 "of course if Pennsylvania should continue to favor Roosevelt in greater numbers up to election day the result would be equivalent to a peaceful revolution in a good sized country.
 "The Keystone state points with pride to the fact that it supported Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Blaine, Harrison, Mckinley. Roose- welt, Taft, Hughes, Harding, Cool idge and Hoover.
 "Ohio, Mother of Presidents also sticks in the Roosevelt col umn so far. Here, too, the social ist candidate Is running a stronger race than usual.
 "Poll fans will be studying the doubtful states-although as we shall see presently some political experts deny that the same states are always doubtful or that any, body really knows which states are doubtful until late in presidential campaign.
 'In the matter of electoral votes Governor Roosevelt appears to be getting the breaks at this stage of the poll. The six states now standing for him carry 135 cleo toral votes, against 93 in the five states now alined for Hoover. How ever, that situation may be radical ly modified by a few more days of balloting, counting, analysis and tabulation,

Stresses Relief
 in Food Problem
Knowledge of Values Is l, Needed Says Health
 Department

Necessity during the coming win ter for clear thinking on the part of the community and of individ- uals in the development of plans for the relief of the needy, for gen. erods giving by those who can af- ford to share in relief and most of all for knowledge of food values which will safeguard health was emphasized by the State Depart ment of Health in its weekly bull letin to-day.
 "One of the most serious prob- lems facing individuals and com munity leaders at the present mo- ment is how to secure food of the right kind to safeguard health," the bulletin declares. This is a problem troubling not only individ- ual families but large municipal tion demands city relief of food to keep people alive.
 The first concern is for the children, as a continued diet defi- cient in growing materials may so undermine the framwork and re- tard tooth development as to pre- sent a health hazard. Unfortunate y the results of a poor diet may rot show up all at once, but may lppear in more subtle ways over ;erm of years, when perhaps iskmay be too late to repair the damage if tuberculosis has made inroads, or rickets has developed or growth is retarded so that weight fails to keep pace with height or children fail to grow as tall as they should.
 'As a safeguard to health the protective foods must be supplied. Chief among these is milk which is needed, a quart day for each child and a pint for each adult; those who appreciate how much milk contributes to health make every attempt to supply those amounts in normal times. At the present time many are forced to curtail, but milk is not the item of food that should be sacrificed - the youngest children should still receive the quart of milk daily and the others not less than a pint each day. while there should still be a little milk for each adult.
 Second in importance to milk as protective foods are vegetables and fruit. In normal times these 'hould be used liberally--a green
 egetable beside potatoes daily and
 ome raw fruit, or vegetable such
 a salad each day. Vegetables
 ilould still be used, but those of ~heaper kinds selected-cabbage onions. carrots Gall of which may De used raw) and tomatoes should oe used several times week. With safeguarding of the health with such protective foods. breads and cereals may then be literally used, and eggs and meat purchased two or three times a week. or when price permits. Further advice may tc secured from the State Depart rnent of Health.
