1888 Easter
Parade To Be
Best In Years
Merchants Note Trade Boom;
Fashions Radically Changed
Since 1882; Look Better

Fashion-spring, 1888, model
is better looking by many miles
than she has been for years and
years and Salisbury's annual Easter
parade, just a few Sundays away,
will dramatically prove it.
The parade will be the best in
many years, it was predicted yes
terday by merchants.
Fashions clothes this year prove
they're~the kind of things that are
good for a convalescing world
They have that zip that the world
needs just now and are the easiest
to look at that Salisbury has seen
in years.
AS one merchant expressed it
yesterday:
"No one would dare wear last
years dress or hat or shoes this
year. Everything has been chang
ed and last years clothes will look
we'll, like last years clothes"
All styles are different. The
hats have a swagger, military air
and are higher than last years. In
the dresses, all the lines, includ-
ing the shoulder lines, are differ
ent. Shoes are different.

THE HOPEVLLE
COMMUNITY CLUB
Will Meet Tuesday Night
to Complete Plans for
Organization
CALL TO RESIDENTS

The Hopeville Community club
will hold a meeting at the club
rooms of the South Federated
Church Mems club on Tuesday
evening, July Is for the purpose OF
adopting q charter as well as
transacting any other business that
may come before the meeting.
The proposed charter was draft
ed by a committee composed Of
Theodore Goumey, George Wheel
err, Ellis Atkins, John Grady and
Raymond French, chairman. 1t is
based largely upon the charters of
similar organizations in the city
and the salient points were dis
cussed and approved at a previ-
Gus meeting held at the Recreation
Rod and Gun club month ago.
While social functions will, of
course, play a prominent part in
the club activities, the basic aim
of the club is civic improvement.
In this connection, Mr. French, the
chairman Of the working commit
tee stated: Every resident of the
community whether or not he is a.
property owner is a taxpayer in
sense that part of what he pays for
shelter, food and clothing Is con-
sumed by taxes and for that rea-
son, 1t is hoped that the club will

Thus il il may be seen that ali
but approximately So miles. of the
total were completed under the
Town Aid Act of the 1881 general
assembly which annually sets aside
from highway department income
| 100000 to be divided equally
among the towns for such road
improvement work as they and the
highway commissioner shall choose.
Another noteworthy point is that
of the 273 miles completed under
this appropriation, zoo miles was
gravel surfacing, only 70 miles be-
ing Of the more permanent types OF
pavement and less than three miles
of this being concrete.
Due to the Town Aid Act and to
the fact that highway department
income has declined somewhat,
there has been a distinct change of
trend in highway building in Con-
necticut during the last half dozen
years, it is found in q comparison
Of the above figures with those Of
1928. In that year, Of a total Of
180.43 miles completed, 1918 miles
were Of concrete and $3.50 miles Of
macadam. Only 2.12 miles were
gravel and the balance miscellan-
eous. Last year, 200 miles were
gravel and only 1880 were con-
crete and 1922 were macadam.
Work on gravel roads has thus
been multiplied one hundred times
and work on the harder surfaces
has been more than cut in half.
Comparison of the type Of roads
| being worked upon now with those
Of 1928 shows that trunk line
work in that year measured 1876.
SO miles against 21.91 last year;
State Aid work was 1891 miles in
1928 and last year 30.53 miles.

In Arizona. q canvass of enforce.

the life of the prohibition agent
in Arizona has become mostly q
"siesta."
Authorities said they are aware
liquor is being sold openly"
with virtually nothing possible
to be done about it. Such pros.
ecutions as there are, all against
operators Of stills, or smugglers,
are being carried out under the
old tariff laws, rather than un.
der the Volstead act.
These will continue the opinion

to drive the bootleg operator out
of business.
The law itself has not chang.
ed so far, and neither has our
duty" said Clifton Mathews, U.
S. attorney for Arizona. But
the number of prohibition cases
being brought in is greatly re-.
duced as compared with former
times. This Is doubtless due to
the fact that only two prohibi-
ton Investigators are working in
the entire district of Arizona. !"
At prohibition headquarters,
H. B. Hayes, investigator. said
be and his Arizona colleagues are
fully aware that night clubs
and similar establishments are
selling liquor openly" but he
said. there is nothing to be done
about it.
They are under orders from
Washington, be said, to confine
their activities to stills and SNUG
giers, msking these arrests un.
der the old tariff laws.
Under orders of August 10,
when the prohibition forces we're
united with the department. of
justice" Hayes said, stringent
instructions were issued to agents
that they could not take drink
officially or unofficially.
That means we cannot even
spend our own money to buy
evidence if We want to. Under
these conditions we cannot make
cases against the speakeasies or
the night clubs. Sight arrests
have been made. but they have
been thrown out Of court. for the

really was liquor, because be
