along the Waterbury Bristol high way in the vicinity of Bucks Hill road. The fact that they had made inquiries of workmen on the high- way as to direction to Waterbury was sufficient to arouse the cur- iosity of the men. Having read of disappearance of two girls from their homes here one of the labor CTS called police headquarters and stated that he had seen them on the road.
 The two girls were taken direct ly to their homes by Detective Shanahan. They claimed that they had walked of on pleasure trip of their own and had slept out last night. The police decided to let their parents win their confidence and learn the story of their wand ering. If there is any cause for a continuance of the official interest of the police fl. will be known later.
 The youno wanderers left their homes Tuesday noon with the in- tention of returning to the Driggs school. They failed to return home Tuesday evening or yesterday and the police were requested to insti- ute a search for them. A descrip. ton of both was sent throughout the state yesterday.
 Regardless of the circumstances of the girls disappearance the fact that their absence was reported to the police caused no little uneas- mess among the parents of many school children, whose stories of strangers attempting to induce youngsters go riding with them, have resulted in complains to school and police authorities.

"consumer baiting'' contained in q letter from Mrs w. D. Fribley, president of the Chicago House wives league, an organization made up of more than B0,000 members. "Consunner confidence is, necessar- fly, the keynote of any sound pro- gram of economic recovery" writes Mrs Fribley. "Especialy is this true of women. consumers who spend a large portion of the na- tion's dollar. The code for retail- ing, on which protracted hearings have been held, is the stepping stone to recovery or collapse, de- pending on the protection which 1t affords both retailer ana consumer. Intelligent consumers hope that the New Deal will constitute re- tailers their trusted representa- lives, than mere peddlers for man. ufacturers.

Under the proposed pro- visions of the retail code, catch phrases and magic claims, where. by one retailer attempts to hold out to the public that he can un- derseil ali competitors, would be prescribed and prohibited.
