LISTEN FOR MERRY
 REINDEER BELLS
Santa Claus Already on Way Here From the
 North Pole

Now that Thanksgiving day is over everybody is planning for Christmas and if you can believe what you hear it will be the mer- riest Yuletide Waterbury has spent in many years. It is said that Santa Claus has already started from the North pole with the larg- est cargo of toys for children ever turned out at his factories. Owing to the depression there was not as much demand as usual the past few years for dolls,bu this session things are better and Santy Is put ting all his spare stock on the market.
 Some have notion that Sants Claus gives all his toys to children free, but this is not so. He has agents all over the country who drive stiff bargains with dealers for his output, which include every thing at his disposal with the ex- ception of such presents as he makes to good boys and girls. He has spies here and there listening to what is said of him and any youngster reported as doubting his existence will not receive anything from him at Christmas. While Santa Claus appears cheerful, he is said to very sensitive. so that boys and girls who expect to be remember ed should be careful what they say. Regardless of the talk about the reindeer being replaced by the airplane, it has been learnd or good authority that there will be no change in the system of trans. portation, so that the merry sleigh bells will be heard as usual by those who remain awake until he arrives.

 The compromise was reached at a meeting of conference commit tee of the senate and house yes- terday after the house and had ap- proved the tavern provision and the senate had killed it.
 It was generally believed that both branches of the legislature would pass the compromise meas ure today. If so, sales of liquor in licensed hotels, restaurants, clubs and package stores will start to- morrow afternoon.
 Under the conference committed report, mayors of cities and select men of towns would be empowered to call special elections as soon as possible to decide, first, whether liquor shall be sold in the com munity in question, and, secondly whether establishment of taverns shall be permitted.
 If any mayor or board of select men refused to call a special cleo tion, one per cent of the voters of a city or, town could compel the calling of such an election.

Boston, Dec 4 (U.P.) = There'l1 be plenty of liquor on hand in Boston to quench the thirst of all when repeal becomes effective tomorrow, It was indi- cated to-day.
 Wholesale dealers were ready to begin filling orders-many placed months ago--to hotels and restau- rants. Gin, rum, and the various wines. mostly domestic because of the government em mbargo. will be of good quality and the supply will be ample. Hotel men, however, ad- mitted that old-time whiskey drinkers might be disappointed with the blended varieties which are somewhat similar to bootleg brands.
 With watchful eye on the leg islature in order to be in at the start when the state repeal law finally goes into effect, restaura- teurs and hotel men began polish ing up their stemware, champagne buckets, and bars. J-
 One wholesaler reported there would be 70 varieties of liquor on hand, but in general only 8 few brands will be in sufficient quanti- ties to meet the expected demand. Because of the protracted de- bate in the legislature, a jam sim- liar to that when -3.2 became legal was expected at the local licensing bureau. It was anticipated that the few restaurants able to secure their dispensers licenses and begin serving customers the moment re- peal becomes effective would be iry 6c nf q r- plication of the throngs that stormed tho doors of local hotels and taprooms when beer began to flow.

FRENCH DISCUSS AMERICAN GOODS
State Department Holds Successful Conferences
 With Foreign Agents

Washington, D. C., Dec. A. Senator Lonergan (d) Connecticut was today notified by the state department that successful con- ferences have been held with French authorities to remove ob- jectionable features of the French mark of origin requirmeents on American manufactured goods.
 The conferences followed com plaints from. the Manufacturers association of Connecticut that French requirements were altered on November z, and now require all American-made goods to be marked United States of Amer ica." The previous mark of origin requirements permitted the use of the phrase Made in U. S. A." or "U. S. A." according to the Asso- ciation's statement, and the change to the longer phrase has affected more than 125 manufacturers in Connecticut who export to France.
 Senator Lonergan said that had the new requirements stood, Con- necticut plants faced the necessity of changing their dies, and many of the articles for export would be too small to carry the required designation United States of America"
 The state department advises Senator Lonergan that the French authorities will make exceptions to those manufacturers whose ar- ticles were so small that the ap- plication of the required mark of origin would be impossible. They also welcome suggestions regarding other changes that may be desired with assurances that they will be ] carefully considered.
