LONDON, Jan. 31.-John Gals worthy, author and playwright, and 1892 Nobel prize winner, died today at his home here. He suf- fered anemia after a severe cold
 Known as the fictional chroni- cler of England's upper classes, John Galsworthy spent most of his life critically examining the conventions of British landed ar istocracy
 Educated at Harrow and Oxford for the bar, he was admitted to practice at the age of 23. After a brief period he deserted that profession and employed his legal training as an aid in making a searching analysis of the social circles in which he moved.
 Galsworthy travelled extensively after he decided upon literary career. He learned to write, ac- cording to his own confession by unlearning everything else.
 Writes Books
 Education serves rather to choke than to encourage the powers of imagination and creativeness, he once said. T did not begin to write novels until I had forgotten all I had learned at school and college. Fine scholars are rarely imaginative writers of any force.
 Tn 1893 Galsworthy made voy- age to the South Seas on the sail ing vessel "Torrens," of which the late Joseph Conrad was first of- ficer. Their conversation turned tc liaterature and led to Conrad showing his manuscript of Al mayors Folly" This immediately met with the approval of Gals worthy, who encouraged Conrad tc continue his writing. In later years the two worked together in Lon- don.
 Galsworthy published his first novel, "Jocelyn,p in 1898 under ths pseudonym of John Sinjohn. This was followed two years later by ----------------------

Gain of l4O Over l933 Motor Vehicle Mark Realized
 State Gain Totals 073

At the elose of buslness Wednes- istratIOn
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-08

At the close of business Wednes-i day evening, November 2sth, the state motor vehicle department re- ported a gain of 973 in the sale of 1884 registrations. Up to that time the department had issued 38,38O sets of number plates for 1884 use as compared with 37,407 the pre- vious year.
 While this gain of nearly thou sand Is comforting to Commissioner Michael A. Connor it is far from reaching the figure he had hoped to attain, through the use of ad- vertising notices in the state papers and urgent solicitation of the mo- toring public through all other available means. When one con- siders' that the total registration for the present year of 1883, as of November 30th, reached 34S,S91 an idea is gained of the task con- fronting the motor vehicle depart ment to take care of the bulk of such total between now and the early months of 1884.
 Every office of the motor vehicle department, with the exception of New Haven, shows a gain over last year. The main office in Hartford sold, up to November 30th, 6,233 registrations at the windows in the license room, registering substan- tial gain of 518 over the same pe- riod for last year. Through the mail 18,S03 registrations were sold, loss over last year of 345, giving Hartford a net gain in reg

DECISION REACHED
 IN BURIAL CASE
State Board of Examiners Looking Up Complaint
 of Improper Interfnent

A decision has been reached by the state board of examiners of undertakers, involving a Waterbury undertaking establishment which allegedly gave improper burial to | the late Joseph Mancino, a late resident of this city. George J. Smith of Milford, a member of the state board which visited here last Wednesday to obtain a record of | the facts in the case, declined today Ito intimate the nature of the de- cision. A public statement will be made later, he stated.
 It is understood locally that the Colasanto undertaking firm has been called upon to explain its part in the charges which were filed by sons of the deceased. The state board will reveal, so it is expected, some of the inside facts of the case.
 As matter of coincidence a movement has been started among all the undertakers of waterbury to get together for the best inter- ests of the profession and obtain rules which must be strictly ob- served in the conduct of the under taking business. An official state nient of the aims and purpose of the anticipated meeting will be given out later. "@
 MT Mancino was found dead in a rooning house on North Main street on November 18th. The family claims that no effort was made to acquaint them of the death of their father, although some of the children reside here and others in Torrington. On checking up on newspaper anpouncement of the finding of the body two sons from Torrington visited the local undertaking paflors and were in- buried~, The investigation was con Calvary cemetery. The Mancinos allege that the body of their father had been placed in a single wooden box and inferred. The use of the single burial case is contrary to state statutes, they claim.
 On their visit to Waterbury the state board of examiners question ed the local funeral director in volved in the case, the mortician who had charge of exhuming the body and removing it to Torring- ton.
 The Mancino family in filing its complaint is desirious of having the license of the local undertaken revoked. However, as MT Smith states, a public announcement will be made later.
 In former years the body of MT Mancino would have been buried in what was known as Potter's field, but this buryirg place for unidenti- fled or penniless persons was dis pensed with several years ago. It mains in cemetery owned by the church of which the deceased was a member and that a reasonable price should be paid the under taker in charge by the city.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-08

An interesting fact not generally known by the public is the number of late sales of markers each year. Registrations for the current year are still being sold by the motor vehicle department and operating licenses are also in demand al- though with the latter there is still quite a period during which they can be used, operating licenses be- ing valid until the close of Febru- ary, 1894. But the purchase of car registrations with only a few weeks to go is rather surprising to those not in contact with the depart ment's activities. During the period from December 21st to 31st last year there were eighty-one passen- ger and thirty commercial regis trations sold for 1882 use. During the same period last year the de- partment issued 110 temporary registrations for 1892 use.
 The general procrastination of the public in securing registrations year after year is difficult to ana lyze. Some say s'Why should I give the state the use of my money for two or three weks?" That stand is not busineslike for the earning power of the average registration fee for two weeks would be about five cents. When the nickel is com pared with the value of 9 persons time and consideration is given to the fact that men and women stand in line for hours and sometimes all most an entire day it would seem far more practical to sacrifice the five cent earning power of 8 regis tration fee and save many dollars worth of time.
 Preparations are now being made by Commissioner Connor and his staff for the usua1 year-end rush and plans are in the making to se- cure the utmost efficiency in hand ling aplicants rapidly so as to save the public as much time as possi-
