CONFIDENCE

Much of the value of a
newspaper to an advertiser
depends upon the confidence
in which the newspaper is
held by its readers. When
confidence is combined with
great circulation a news
paper has attained maximum
value to advertisers.
The unusual response which
advertisers in the Milford
Chronicle receive from their
announcements indicates the
high degree Of confidence
which readers have in the

through years of care exer-
eised in the acceptance Of ad-

 On the alert last evening for unlicensed vendors. Patrolman Jo- seph Lovallo of the motor squad picked up two New Workers. They gave their names as Salvatore Resa, 26, of 126 Mulberry street and Joseph DeCroscenzo, 19, of 53 Oak street, New York city. Rega said DeCroscenzo was the "boss' and that he was only working for him. Judge John F. McGrath a6- vised. the young man to get li- cense or stop soliciting sales in Waterbury.
 The merchandise which the two men were peddling consisted of blankets, dress materials, curtains and the like. They were stored for the night behind the main desk in police headquarters.
 Members of the detective bureau were on duty at the circus grounds this afternoon and will be on hand this evening on the lookout for suspicious characters and to pro- tect patrons of the show from any pickpockets.

Jack Hoxey and his playnates, the Downie Circus troupe, arrived In town to-day as per scheduled and pitched their tents on old Brassco Park for a day's visit. The outfit attracted one of the greatest throngs of admiring kids any cir GUS ever played to in Waterbury. There was surprising big turnout for the parade. or what there was of 8 parade. It started so prompt- ly on time that hundreds of young sters released shortly before noon hour from the parochial schools missed it. Not to be disappointed the kiddies tramped to the circus grounds and took in the sights.
 It was a busy day for the cops, particularly the chief of the cops, Superintendent of Police Joseph H. Mclean. His office was beseiged with applicants for vendors li- censes, the we'll. known, balloon men, the peanut and popcorn chanters and others. Some of the "boys" tried to get by on their nerve, posing as ex-service men, but unless they were able to pro- duce credentials showing that they were ex-service men they were obliged to pay for the permits.
 A delegation of the visitors went searching the city for members of the legal committee of the Ameri- can Legion. They wanted their rights respected. They wanted to be recognized as veterans and ex- cused from paying the customary

Making their debut beyond the footlights a most impressive one students of St. Mary's School of Nursing successfully and comicalIy presented "Daddy Long Legs" Jean webster's widely heralded stage and screen hit, in the Nurses audi torium last evening before a large and appreciative audience.
 The cast performed as well as any amateur company in Water bury in many 9 moon, several of the girls displaying exceptional roles of opposite members of their sex. That too, added to the con- tinual enjoyment of the crowd.
 Letitia Mosher, as Jervis Pendle- ton, Frances Keegan as Mrs Sem- pie, Helen Farrell as Cyrus Wyk- of, Joan Bradley as Miss Pritchard Florence Tobin as Mrs Lippett and Helen Scully as Judy, were superb in their portrayals.
 Throughout the four acts the crowd were laughing continually and during the acts applauded loudly, before several local enter tainers, caught their attention. In fact the entire personnel of the cast created a most favorable im- precision upon the minds of their attentive listeners.
 Others in the case were: Mar garet Carlson, Antoinette Gauthier of Salem, Mass, Ann McNellis, Mary O'Connor of Stamford, Flea nor Hayden, Ethel Costello, Lucy O'Sullivan of New Britain, Lucy McGowan, Helen Audet, Rosemary Hayden, James Savage and Thomas Doolan, the latter two playing the roles of orphans of the John Grier home.

Experiments Show State They Survive Better
 Than RainbOWs

Salt Lake City, Utah.-A fish isn't simply fish when planted in the bubbling streams of Utah, it has been learned through exhaus- tive experiments by the state game commission.
 The result is that plantings in the future will lean heavily to- ward the German Brown trout. Trout here fall in two classes the Rainbow and his cousin, the German Brown trout. Neither leave much to be desired from the anglers viewpoint But from planting angle, the German Brown trout has it over the Rainbow.
 The German Brown is wonder- fully self-suff1cient. It takes care of itself during babyhood with the result that its chance of living to catchable age is far above that of a Rainbow. The reason is that the German Brown, as fingerling. hugs the bottom of stream-hard for preying fish to find because it is ready to hide in rocks or silt. ] Other types of trout, including the Rainbow, swim high in the water as fingerlings. easy prey for big | fish.

MODERN PIED PIPER DECLARES
 RATS MENACE
Danger Blamed on M a n
 Because Rodents Are Ignored

San Francisco -(UP)-' The greatest wild animal menace to the human race practically is ignored because humans generally do not realize the smartness and danger of rats.
 Authority for this statement is Theodore Pannier. modern 'Pied Piper" who has devoted his life to exterminating the rodents, not through the use of bagpipe, but by means of embalming poisons developed in his laboratory.
 Pannfer has plenty of opportun- ity to study rats, since San Fran cisco, like nearly all seaport towns. has an over-abundance of them. He estimates there is rat for each resident of the city, which means there are nearly 800,000 rats in San Francisco.
 Resembling a young doctor more than a rat catcher, Pannier must diagnose individual rat cases much as physician might study intri. cacies of an illness.
 N---a-etaoiIishrd !? =: Rats are smart" he pointed out .'It is our business to outsmart them. If a rat has made his nes
 in the moulding near the ceiling, ht
 will not touch poisoned food placed there. He knows food is kept or the table or floor-not on the wal or in inaccessible places" Pannier uses a poison that em-
 balms the rats, thus eliminating odor.
 But rats get wise to that em- balming poison, and we have to change their diet" he added.
 "The rat menace always will be here because people don't seem to care about them. All we can do is keep their numbers at 8 minimum"

SCHMELING REMAINS FAVORITE
TO WIN TONIGHT'S BATTLE

made temporary quarters at the
Commodore hotel.
Baer Is Slugger
The principals were to weigh in
at the boxing commission office at
. m. Baer had sarcastic speech
ready for Schmeling but few be-
lieved he would remember to de-
liver it.
The fight itself promises to be
infighting, on the part of Schmel-
ing. against Baer's long range slug
ging.
Baer, who will weigh better than
210 pounds to Schmeling's 100, is a
slugger who doesn't mind leaving
himself wide open while swinging
from his shoelaces.
In addition to outweighing
Schmeling by some 20 pounds,
Baer has the longer reach and the
more rugged physique. But Schmel-
ing is equally as strong, is vastly
more intelligent, and can box bet
ter than Baer four ways from the
deuce
Not more than one in 10 of the
domestic and imported boxing writ
ers gives Baer as much as a $3.50
chance. Dempsey predicted knock
out, but would not name the man.
Dempsey reiterated today his Or
iginal announcement that there
would be no broadcast.
Scalpers were reaping a rich har-
vest. They were asking $35 for S11.50
tickets calling for seats within the
first 10 rows, and $40 for seats far
ther back. What's more, they were
getting it.

NEW YORK, June 8.-The age
old lust for combat and the magic
name of Jack Dempsey will draw
some 10000 persons into Yankee
Schmeling and Max Baer battle for
i stadium tonight to watch Max
+ Is rounds or less.
Dempsey. promoting his first big
time show, has been likened TO the
/ late Tex Rickard of million dollar
gate fame. A traditional Rickard
break in the weather, would estab-
lish the old Mannassa Mauler as
the ace promoter of the present
day. for a fair afternoon and early
evening virtually would assure a
sell-out of the $4,000 seats.
Such a sale would allow Dempsey,
Schmeling, Baer and the Cancer
hospital to split a fortune of nearly
S400 900. Advance sales were esti-
mated today to have approached
the S175,0 mark, but this was only
q guess
Il know I've got better than
S125 ,000,' Dempsey said, but there
are many agencies who haven't re-
ported back. All I really know is
that the boys in my Broadway Of
flee are selling tickets as fast as
they can make change and they're
pretty good at that"
Schmeling, who won the cham
pionship sitting down" on a foul
blow from Jack Sharkey, and who
lost it to the same man two years
later, motored in today from his
Lake Swannanoa, N. j., country
club retreat. He remained firm

odds in his favor were expected to

Betting was light.

in Atlantic City, to the home of
an anonymous friend. Sehmeling
