MOCK BATTLE
 THRILLS 5000
Plane and Speed Boat Per- form at Lakewood Yes-
 terday Afternoon
FEATURE WORDEN PICNIC

Six thousand children and 1000 grownups were thrilled by the mock battle between an airplane from the Bristol airport and a speed boat from Lake Compounce at Lakewood park yesterday after noon as the feature attraction of the annual kiddie picnic sponsored by the R. F. Worden Co.
 Thousands lined the shores and residents of upper North Main street swelled the crowd for the battle manouvers." The plane would start off at either end of the lake and then swoop down to within six feet of the water while the pilots assistant threw hand fulsof immitation hand grenades at the speed boat. The boat would return the fire from blank cart ridges fired from rifles operated by a man in the boat.
 The climax came when shot from the boat picked off the hand grenade man in the boat who dropped a dummy into the water from a distance of about 100 feet above the lake.

UPTON AUTO
 UP FOR SALE

London (UP)-Does anybody want a secondhand auto?
 This is not a line from the wants column, but if you do want one, there's a beauty going cheap here. It's an extra special outfit; a six-seater, 30-horse-power Mercedes sedan. A real rtizy car. with patent devices to please the heart of any gadget fiend and real tiger-skin rugs.
 But that's not all. It once be- longed to Sir Thomas Lipton, &C., knowledged here and in America as the worlds best loser.
 At present the auto stands in a wharf here, just rusting away for want of buyer. The Glasgow Cor poration have refused to purchase it, and although many. private buy CTS are making inquiries, the pres ent owner of the car wants to sell it for sentimental reasons only.
 "I would rather sell it for lit- tie money to a purchaser buying for sentimental reasons" he said, than for big money to a contrac- tor to turn into a motor-van.
 Sir Thomas was an old friend of mine, and out of respect to his memory, unless the car Is to be treated kindly by new owner, intend to keep it myself for show purposes"

Litchfield today Is celebrating Washington's visit to that town in 17S0. The occasion also has to do with the fact that the old town boasts of having the first law school in the United States. These two events are being observed and visitors are in attendance from diff efrent parts of New England and other parts of the country. There are quite a few people now resid- ing in Waterbury who were born in Litchfield and no doubt many of them will be in attendance.
 A visit to that beautiful New England town Is worth while any day in the year, but it will have added attraction today.
 The program includes tribute to natives of the town who were prominent in the history of the nation in Colonial times, includ- ing Judge Tapping Reeves, founder of the law school; General Wolcott; Colonel Benjamin Tal- madge, Judge James Gould and many others. Of course visitors will not forget to take look at the house once the home of Henry Ward Beecher, and his distin- guished sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Toms Cabin" work that had much to do in calling attention to the con-

DISTRESS CALLS DECLINE

These gloomy folks who are con-
stantly saying, "Cheer up, for the
worst is yet to come" should note
that calls on the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation from banks, rail
roads and other institutions, were
so per cent less in September than
in August. The corporation author
lied $685., 100000 in loans in June,
but it only authorized $64,OOO,OOO in
September.
That looks as if the American peo-
pie were lifting the lid of the cyclone
cellar, and looking around. They
can see that while there has been
much destruction of values, yet they
have done about ten times as much
shivering and trembling as was re-
ally necessary.
We have had two kinds of trou-
bles. First, unemployment, low
farm prices, and lack of purchasing
power Second, panic fears about
banks and other institutions. These
two kinds of distress are closely re-
lated. When people are panicky
about banks, they won't spend money
and they won't employ labor.
Most banks today are being man.

of them are hard pressed still, it is
almost always because of poor in
vestments made in boom times But
anyway, they are more liquid,
that is, they have more money in in
vestments that can be turned read
lily into cash, than ever before. Many
of them are just sitting on heaps of
gold and daring the timid deposit
tors to come on and get it, if they
are so foolish as to demand it.
There is no excuse now for runs

good, because they lead to sacrifice
