 Already the member stores of the the MIRA are turning the cor- ner. Already they are becoming bustling bee-hives of activity. We
 know they have subscribed to the principles Of the NRA retailing code by the emblem on their win- dows. But how do we know. that the merchandise they are offering has been produced under the regu- lations set forth In the new and accepted form of code practice.
 In harmony with the program of the NRA, retailers should con- fine their purchases to manufac- turers observing the code. and consumers can help to the force of the movement and IIisuru Its success by insisting that the re- taller not only have membership in the MIRA but strictiv oh eye 6 requirements. In this way the consumer will compic.e a ..ie. U. increasing prosperity that will re- act directly-and favorably on his own purchasing power.
 This newspaper heartily agrees with Colonel Mumma, and urges its .readers to ask the retailer for merchandise identified as Blue Eagle" Specials.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-08-24

The 18th annual convention of the Connecticut Department, American Legion. formally got un- fer way in the Garde theater, New London, this morning shortly af- ter 9 o'clock. over 300 delegates were assembled for the opening session, which was called to order by State Commander Joseph A. Treadwell. Addresses of welcome were given by Mayor Malcolm N: Scott and Lieutenant Governor Roy C.. Wilcox, chairman of the dis tinguished guests committee of the convention.
 Waterbury's official delegates included Robert F. Birt, Walter Angle, Captain Newton Alexander and Representative Daniel J. Ma nancy. Wallace J. Inglis, as first alternate, was also present in the Waterbury section.
 The convention is one of special interest to Waterbury, owing to the fact that it is possible that this city will have two of its leaders honored. There is every indica- ton that Captain Eugene P. Arm strong, former commander of Corporal Frank Coyle Post, will be reelected state treasurer. Wal ter Angle, rehabilitation officer of the local post, is a candidate for the office of senior vice-com- mander. He faces opposition, but is conceded to have the best chance of being elected.
 Legislation of personal interest to every disabled veteran is ex- pected to supply the oratorical fireworks of the convention. Res olutions protesting certain phases of the drastic cuts brought about by the Economy Act and financing rehabilitation work in the state are expected to be adopted.
 A big parade on Saturday after noon will bring the convention to a close. Waterbury is sending a pla- toon of firemen and policemen and is drum corps to participate in the event.
 This city has also representatives in attendance at the session of the 40 and S." the legion auxiliary and the Association of World War Nurses. The auxiliary sessions arc being held in the Bulkley school. Local members in attendance in- clude Miss Mary Coyle, state chair man of the FIDAC; Miss Lucy Shanahan. state chairman of the World War Orphans; Miss Victoria Leibreich, president of the local auxiliary, and Miss Mollie O'Con- nor. who are the official delegates; Mrs Robert F. Birt, Mrs Walter Angle. Mrs Daniel Mahaney, Mrs Mary Mellon, Mrs Ellen Fallowell. Mrs Mary Saunders and Mrs E. Kelly

lon was in sight Tuesday as distillers
prepared to object formally and Wig

policy requiring the use Of more grain
and less molasses for distilled alco-
holic beverages.
The two congressional committees
which handle tax matters-the house

problem, having summoned treasury
officials for their recommendations.
But committee members did not ex.
pect specific recommendation from
the treasury. The reason was an un.

mittee that President Roosevelt wa
more concerned about stopping boot
Logging than increasing revenues.
The presidents interdepartmenta
committee had proposed tax Of $2.6t
a gallon on the newly-legalized bev'
erages instead Of the present Sill
levy. But when the question was pu
up to the president himself, he de-
cided to leave it to congress. That lex
to the expectation that 500, or at an!
rate considerably less than $3.50, wa
likely to be agreed upon.
Some distiliers at the same tim
threatened concerted objection to thei
new code, which provides that 10 pc
cent of the base for distilled liquo
may be other than grain. Some eve,

If by remonetizing silver q higher
