|NOVHLCOMPANY
 AND EMPLOYE
Continues to Give 0ener- ous Support to the
 Mutual Aid Fund
NEW CARDS SIGNED

Employees of the scovfll' Manu- featuring company along with the sccvill company itself will continue to support Waterbury's Mutual Aid Unemployment fund as it has since the fund was started.
 Charles J. Allen, director of the funds new drive for pledges, was notified by Scovill officials this morning that the hundreds of en1- p1oyes of that plant have signed up practically 100 per cent. The com pany itself as it has done from the funds start will contribute dollar for dollar the amount sub- scribed by it's employees.
 Mir Allen was much elated to- day as a result of the report of the Scovill company, particularly that feature of it which showed that practically all of the company employees signed the new pledge cards with great willingness and a spirit which showed they were desirous of helping their neighbors who are out of work and without means of support. It is the peo- pie of the working class. whose neighbors are actually in want, who appreciate how bad conditions really are and how much good the Mutual Aid Fund has done in the past and will have to do in the future, Mr Allen stated.
 The job of getting pledge cards signed in 8 large factory and handling, details of collection is no small job, Mir Allen pointed out, and he extended great credit to those who handled the pledge cards at the Sccviil plant.
 The job of getting the new cards signed is also practically corn- pleted at the plants of the Chase Companies and the American Brass company. A report from these concerns Is expected very shortly and when they are received Mir Allen will start out in a Wgor- ous fashion to have the odds and ends of the big drive completed and have 1t brought to Q successful close as soon as is possible. He is- sued another plea to-day to all who have not signed pledge cards or contributed to help him and his assistants out by doing so as soon as Is possible.
 Other firms added to the funds Honor Roll to-day are Epgelman's Baby Shop. the Melville Shoe Shop and the A. M. Larson company.

at the station. one-fourth pound of ra-dichloro-be will kill clothes moths in 8 chest or trunk of clean woolens, and protect the contents for three or four months. The substance may be scattered throughout, or enclosed in a loosely woven cloth bag.
 One-half pound of the chemical will fumigate a closed closet and protect the contents for a similar period. The station found 1t was es- sential to sure success that the woolens be absolutely clean before being put away. Apparently there is little danger that moths will damage clothes that have been dry-cleaned.
 Experiments bear out that sum- ming and brushing, two of the old- est projections against clothes moths, are also among the best. Sunshine will will the larvae and a brush will do away with the eggs. A new cedar chest will kill young larvaes, but later. when the voia- tile oils of the wood are gone, this wood has no advantage over any
 other.
 Flannels, jerseys, furs, and wool
 sweaters, are among the materials most frequently eaten by clothes moths and require the strictest care. Mems ordinary suiting, tight | ly woven, or womef1's dress coats are seldom seriously damaged. un- ] less dirty. Moths do not feed on silk, cotton or linen, but the full
 grown larva will cut these mater ials and use the pieces in spinning the cocoon.
 Stored Woolens Dangerous Experience of entomologists at the station has shown that the first step in clearing a house of clothes moths Is to rid 1t of woolen ma terials that have been stored for some time in bundles, trunks or closets. Infestations are likely to be concealed in such accumulations. After that, closets can be fumigat- ed by the following procedure: l Cleaning the closet and contents, application of one-half pound of para-dichloro.benzene, stopping ur | the cracks, and leaving the closet
 tightly closed for three weeks. l A piano in which the felt Is In.
 fested with moths can be fumigated by putting one-half pound of para i. dichloro-benzene in the bottom and l closing the instrument tightly. The | piano can be protected by doins | this twice a year. Moths in over. | stuffed furniture are difficult to Kill and usually are a problem to be
 solved only by professional exter- l minators.

PR0PACANDAS SWEEPING OVER
 ALL COUNTRIES
European Nations Are Active Everywhere, Booming Their Own ln- terests in Guis e of News

Old Greenwich, Conn.,, Nay 1S-- (UP)-"A greatp propaganda drive Is on throughout the world," Hugh Baillie, executive vice-president of the United Press Associations, told the Mems Club of old Greenwich here last night.
 At no time in modern history has national propaganda been so active and vocal as at this moment and at no time have it's effects been so manifest in so many parts of the world" he said. At no time has the attempt to present propa- ganda in the guise of news been so fragrant and brazen.
 eve find this nationalist propa- ganda, promoted promarily by Eur opean nations, active in Asia and in the United States, and nowhere do we find 1t more active than in Latin America"
 Baillie cited a report recently presented to the French chamber of deputies to show that nine Eur. opean countries are spending this year approximately $24,000.00 for the promotion of their own self interest at home and abroad.
 A large sum if this sum ts ap- propriated to the ofi1cial news agencies subsidized by these Eur opean governments.
 "It can hardly be expected" said BaiIlie, "that the news carried by these official agencies will not be colored or distorted to suit the taste of their patron governments. Their governments, of course. stand ready to make good the financial losses of these agencies"
 Baillie pointed out that the American Press Association. sub- sidized by no individual. party. or group, and conf1ning itself to ob- jective. factual reporting. is able to compete successfully with these official agencies In Latin America, because most publishers there place more dependence on the American style of reportinE .-.---

VIEW OFFICERS ELECTED

In compliance with the articles of
ne Constitution providing for an
election of officers every three
months, the student government or
gannization of the Boys dorm was
busy during the first week of De-
cember getting candidates for the
various offices, Elections were held
on three different days provided for
that purpose. The new officers were
b worn into office ON the morning of
December IL, which happened to be
the same day the electric power line
was out of commission. Although
the Reading Room, where the meet
ing was called to order, was as cold
as a refrigerator, no one noticed
that fact because of the interest in
the speeches by old and ew Of
ficers. This may have been all right
but we think it's giving the new Of
ficels rather a cold start.

RADIO VOICE IN PERSON GREETS
BLIND GIRL WITH HUG, KISS

CHICAGO, Dec. 9. - For years
sightless Margaret Long, 20 years
old, had listened to a singer over
the radio. In gold locket she wore
a picture of the singer, although
she could not see it. She wrote a
timid letter to the owner of the far
away voice and got an answer. More
letters followed.
Today the blind girl gave a red
cap a dollar to lead her to a La
Sale street station she'd, She wait
ed eagerly. From the train stepped
a man. Margaret was enveloped in
a long hug and a thrilling kiss. AT
ter a few words they parted, the
man returning to the train and
Margaret to her work as Braille
proof reader at the public library.
But Margaret was happy. She had
just been kissed by Rudy Vallee.

ENLARGE THE DYER ACT

AS part of the governments drive
against racketeering and other
crime, it is proposed to enlarge the
Dyer automobile theft act to include
all kinds of property. Under the
Dyer at anyone removing an auto
mobile from one state to another,
without permission of the owner,
becomes liable to federal prosecu
ton. Under the proposed change,
anyone removing stolen property of
any kind would be prosecuted.
Crime has ceased to have any re-
1ation to state boundaries. Crimi-
mails operate on an organized basis
from one state to another. State au
thorities who have to go through
endless formalities in order to get
action in another state are decided
ly at a disadvantage. An amend
ment to the Dyer act permitting
federal cooperation in all cases
would be a telling blow against
crime of all kinds. 1t is time for
anti-crime activities to be organized
on a nation-wied basis.-Ex.

USING SILVER MONEY

The Colorado house OF representa-
tiyes asks Colorado citizens to de-
mand silver money and thus create
a demand for the white metal which,
it is hoped, will improve its price.
The house has good intentions, but
its knowledge of monetary affairs is
pathetically small. If every man,
woman and child in the state of Col
orado stood up and howled for silver
i'll All change transactions, and got
1t, there would be no change in the
STATUS of silver as far as price is con-
cerned.
1t should be apparent to the Col
orado house, and anyone else who
might be interested, that practically
all financial dealings, in Colorado
and elsewhere, are accomplished by
the use OF checks and bank deposits.
Inc amount OF actual hard money
in circulation is infinitesimal COM
pared to the total amount of bank
clearings. Whether the money in cir
culation is paper, silver, gold or
wampum makes little difference.
There are ways to improve the
position of silver. Those ways call
for national legislation, or world
agreements. The resolution by the
Colorado house is a nice gesture, but
without any value whatsoever.-Ex.
