State Food and Dairy Commissioner William J. Warner will analyze whiskey blends being sold in Connecticut, accord ing to word issued from Hartford last week. This action was not demanded, but is voluntary. Perhaps we should say 1t comes within the scope of the department, but we're not so sure of ourselves in mak- ing that statement It does seem to us as if any analyses made might properly be done at the instigation of the state health department or local ones The laws are rather particular about whiskey blends. Anything harmful in them is productive of prosecution. So far as we know there have been no complaints in Waterbury about the various blends being sold. That's probably due to the fact that most of the local dealers are handling only reputable brands. And blends certainly are often to be preferred to the full-strength whis- key. In fact before prohibition de- scended upon us preferences ran towards blends. But there was no attemptin those days to disguise this fact. Today good many blends that are marketed are not really blends, but simply "cut" whiskey. There is difference between the two. good distiller will blend his whiskey but he won't "cut' it in the modern sense of the word. It will be interesting, though, to learn what blends we are buying are really "cut'' whiskey.

NASSAU, Bahamas, Aug. IA
GN.SO.-Gen. Gerardo Machado,
ousted President of Cuba, who
fled from Havana while a riotouS
populace strove to destroy every
VeStige of his regime, hopes to re-
turn to his native land, 1nterna-
tional News Service learned to-
day.
The deposed chief executive,
who for eight years ruled Cuba
with an iron hand, is eagerly
awaiting news from the capital
which will inform him whether
he may return as a free man or
as a political offender facing trial
by court-martial.

and doors.
Accustomed to the presence of
armed guards during his rule,
Machado felt he needed them
on his calm island in the West
Indies, despite the protective in
fluence of the British Union Jack
flying from staffs and windows.
Captain Crespo, commander OF
the presidential cavalry. who &C.
companied Machado into exile,

of his hopes to return. Crespo

Looters to Be Shot Dead on Sight,
If President Gives Chief Authority

He said he was seeking author
ity to kill looters and thieves on

structed him to stamp out all
forms of disorders.
In some quarters it is feared
that Ambassador Welles over
played his hand in summoning
the warShipS. He is regarded as
a, hero for driving Machado from
power, although the revolving
army gets official credit for this.
But some criticism has been
voiced because he approved the
selection of De Cespedes as presi,
dent.
These same sources predict an
outbreak of public resentment if
American marines land.

BILL PROPOSED
To CURB SIGNS

Introduction in Congress of a
bill to license sign painters and
erectors as a means of preventing
the use of illegal signs here is
recommended in a letter sent to
Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride today by Fred A. Berlin,
secretary of the National Board
of Trade.
Commenting on the report that
some 1000 illegal signs have been
ordered removed by the building
inspector during the past several
weeks, Berlin writes:
"AII sign painters and erectOrS
should be duly licensed and
bonded, and the license fee
should be reasonable yet high
enough to shut out tranSients
and sign painters that have no
fixed place of business"
The letter was referred to Capt.
Hugh P. Dram, director of in
SpectionS.
