Oldest gyps in the world, the

Probably no other form of

People suffering from the dis

But these fellows pulled a

VITALITY SHOWN
RAISE CREDIT,

The Standard Statistics Com
pany currently comments on gen.
eral business as follows:
"With the starting Of the
machinery provided by the pub
lie works legislation and the
industrial recovery act, de-
termined efforts will be made
to provide q substantial basis
for business revival in the diff
fusion of purchasing power and
control of output, wages and
competitive conditions. This
will afford q welcome contrast
to previous reliance on deprecia-
ton of the dollar in foreign
markets as proof that initiation
is under way.
Business is showing great
vitality, in spite Of the ap-
prOach Of the seasOnally dull
period Of July and August.
While a recession is yet possible
during the hot weather, the
upward movement has gained
such momentum that the out
look for next autumn is dis
tinctIy reaSsuring."
Standard Statistics finds tn
business outlook is preponderantl!
favorable, and that willingness
to spend" constitutes more po'
tent influence at present thar
the basic uncertainties still
existent.

WHEAT
ICONS PAST
81 MARK

CHICAGO, June 81 G.N.S),
The dollar level for wheat was
passed here today when the May
future. reached $1.03 a bushel. It
marked the first time since late in
1880 that wheat was quoted at a
dollar or better.
During forenoon dealings values
were elevated from 1B to as much
as 7c, led by barley, leaving many
cereals the highest in three years
Broad and Active
So broad and active was the
trade that fluctuations Of a half
cent were common, in contrast
with the general fluctuations OF
Mc. It was reported the most
buoyant session in the memory OF
veteran traders.
Heavy profit-taking developed
on bulges, but failed to stem the
upward trend.
Near noon wheat was 3h@3Nc
advanced, corn 21s s022sc higher,
oats 1%@2Kc higher, and rye 2Ha
@3%c improved. Liverpool wheat
was R@1hd higher, Winnipeg

Reports Aid Bulls
Crop damage reports continued
to fire bullish enthusiasm. High
temperatures were reported in the
West and Southwest and the scat
tered showers that fell throughout
the grain belts were regarded OF
little consequence.
Estimated carlot receipts were

 The bill to be heard provides that all duly qualified women elec- tors shall be eligible for jury duty under the rame condition as male collectors. However. the measure provides that any woman is trained nurse in active service, an assistant in hospital, an attend ant nurse, or who is nursing a sick member of her own family or who has care of one or more chil- dren under the age of 16 years or who Is included in any of the ex- captions set forth in sections 557S Of the general statutes shall. if she desires, be exempt.
 While the League of Women Voters is supporting the bill. 1t is also expected that many women will appear to oppose the passage of the measure.
 Tomorrow before the judiciary committee 8 hearing will take place on the various old-age pen- sion bills that have been introduc- ed. The local aerie of Eagles and other labor leaders from Water bury and throughout the state are expected to appear in favor of the bills. Throngs from the labor unions and the socialist party are expected to appear, also. The hear ing will be in the hall of the house instead of in the old senate cham Der due to the large attendance that 1t is expected.

 In the death house to-day the first shock of electricity was sent through the assassin's body at 9:17 a. m. but 1t was not until 9:26 that the prison physician pronounced him dead.
 Superintendent Chapman an- nounced that ZanEara's pocy would be buried at the prison cemetery here, as no relative or friend has claimed 1t.
 The execution was witnessed by 40 persons, 12 of whom were off, cial witnesses. National guardsmen stood guard around the execution chamber.
 Superintendent l.. F. Chapman said the Instructions given him by Zangara on enterting the execu- ton chamber were "purely per- sonaP'.
 "I do not know that I shall even have it translated" Chapman told the United Press.
 "He told me some days ago he would write me his Instructions I probably will file them away among the permanent records of the prison."

 ssBank Holiday
Chamber of Commerce Secretary Tells How Stores "Carried On' in Face of Unusual Emergency Cites Vital Statistics for Past Two Weeks

Reference fs made in the current Issue of the semi-monthly state ernnt or bulletin of the Waterbury Credit Rating Bureau to the splen- did way in which the merchants of the city reacted to the appeal for cooperation during the recent bank emergency.
 Secretary Frank Green of the Chamber of Commerce prefaced the usual statistics on births, deaths, marriages and other fea- lures of the bulletin with the fol- lowing statement: Expressions of appreciation for the fine manner in which Waterbury merchants carried on business affairs in the last two weeks, especially during the so-called bank holiday has come into the office of the Cham Der of Commerce. therefore it is our wish to pass them on to you.
 The bulletin issued on Monday, March 9th. concerning the bank holiday with suggestions as to store policy, now is rescinded in its entirety.-it having served it's pur- pose. Cash refunds have, and al- ways will be, a matter of personal policy of the individual store, and either the Chamber of Commerce nor the Merchants Bureau have had, nor now have, any desire to establish a store policy"
 During the past two weeks there was close race in the record of deaths and births. For the second time in the past month births ex- ceeded deaths, but not to the ex- tent of two weeks when the new arrivals doubled the number of persons called to their eternal re- ward.

 No official marking was placed on envelopes, other than the usual ones, and many stamp collectors who sent themselves letters, will not be so enthused when they re- ceive their own writing this morn ing.
 This morning, waterburians who failed to visit the building the past few weeks, made their way around the main lobby viewing with ad- miration the modern facilities be- fore them. They got their first glimpse of the carriers preparing their days work, mail being sort ed, cancelled and bagged.
 Each piece of federal property was installed in the new building yesterday. The heavy safe from temporary headquarters was re- moved to the new building last night.
 No definite arrangements for official gocernment dedication has been set at this writing, although possibility exists that there may be at later date.
 Mail was transferred from the temporary headquarters to the new building yesterday afternoon from 4 to o'clock. Timothy J. Shanahan, letter carrier of 31 Plaza avenue, and Patrick Barry, special clerk, of 65 Walnut street, service men since 1896, raised the flag over the new building at usual time this morning.
