school championship race, which
opens January 9, this is not
pleasing to all supporters Of the Lin
coin Parkers, by any means.
The group with which this does not
set well points out that Eastern teams,
which have been pre-series choices In
various sports, have, on more than one
occasion, not lived up to expectations.
The most recent case in point was the
veteran foot ball team this Fall, which
lost one game and was able to get only
a tie In another to finish third In the
title race. The group would rather see
some other team the favorite at this
stage of the proceedings. Eastern now
though, seems to have the most class.
Central, the defending champion,
has won two of its three games, It's
true, but the Blue Streaks don't ap-
pear to have the dash and fire they
had a campaign ago. OF course,
though Central started somewhat late
this season and there Is plenty Of
time for improvement, Tech looms as
a menace to both Eastern and Central.
The Gray is in a good spot, psychology
ically. It is admitted it has a capable
squad, but 1t Is not given as good q
chance for the flag as either Eastern
or Central.

GULL in Tournament.


ONLY one, in fact, is known as
bowler outside her own league
~ and she very likely Is the most
famous bowler in the country. Lorraine
GULL. however, confines her activities in
the Catholic Girls League to presiden-
tial duties.
"Our girls" said Miss GULL today,
"don't expect to figure much, If at all,
in the prize winning in The Star
tournament, but it's the best bowling ex-
perience possible for newcomers to the
game. of which we have many. and l
hope the entire Catholic Girls League
enters"
Miss GULL herself signed up today.
With other members of the Lucky Strike
team she will roll her preliminary
games on Bill Wood drives.
In the event Lorraine is in the form
she showed last night, shooting IN the
washington Ladies League at the Co
lumbia. she probably would repeat her
victory of two years ago in The Stars
big maple party. For the third time
in the last three seasons the duckpin
queen entered the charmed 400 class:
With games of 139, LAB and lib she
rolled an even 400. In the District
Ladies League, in 1882, she rolled All
and in the preceding season had
score Of 404 in a tournament.

The Stars annual Yuletide
tournament seems to be an asset
to the event. ..-. .
Anyway, the entry is growing
by stackfuls as more and more
come to realize that, no matter
how small may be their scores,
others are likely to have as bad

Vanity has kept many bowler out
of the tournament, which costs nothing
to enter, gives every entrant, by means
of a handicap, fair shot at the prize
money and all in all has been declared
by bowling authorities to be the most
attractive event of its kind in the
country.
The least one may gain by participate

largely this thought which last night

Farewell To Coast Guards

An age-old institution of the United States seems about to be swallowed up ill the maw of the U. $. Navy Department Our Coast Guard service is under close scrutiny by high government officials with the avowed intention of amalgamat- ing it with the Navy. Naturally Coast Guard officers and men, not to mention it's loyal disciples, oppose this hotly. They fear that such an action would bury for ever the time-honored traditions and records of this branch of the service And so it would, but perhaps in so doing it might elevate the Coast Guard to higher plane.
 There are many benefits to be derived from such a course of action as now ap- pears definite save for the presidents ap- proval. First of all is that of economy. And no matter what is said about economy rearing it's head in places where it does not belong, the truth of the matter is that our federal government has come to the point where it must be more economical, or face dire consequences. Economy Tn government is a watchword today. Every form of government in the states has been extravagant without cause. Retrench- ment is in order.
 We are not claiming that the Coast Guard has been an expensive arm of the government. Far from it. It has more than paid it's way in protecting shipping along our coasts, in waging relentless war pn smuggling, and In salvation of lives and property. It has not been called upon to raise arms against foreign invaders, but if it had been of recent years it would have done so right willingly and with all the Coast Guard fervor and esprit de ,orps. Naturally the Navy is holding its peace in the discussion of the proposed

Know Your Waterbury Its History, Facts and General Information
HISTORY

In 1881 Mattatuck numbered twenty eight dwelling houses with aone hundred and forty-five inhab- itants recorded, their respective lots surrounding the green or slightly adjacent. Some of the lots and their owners were as follows: -the lot of Edmund Scott later owned by Honorable Greene Ken drick; Thomas Richason's two-acre lot; one to the westward designat- ed 'for the minister, and west of the minister's one originally be- longing to William Higginson and later given to Edmund Scott, Jr, next came Benjamin Judd's and John Welton's lots.
 Other surrounding lots and their approximate order bordering the Green were those of John Southmayd, John Langton Benja- min Jones, Judge Bronson, John Scovill, William Judd, John War ner, Jr (later Charles Mitchell res- idence on West Main street), John Porter lot owned by David Carpen- ter, the unfinished house of Thomas Hancox. Samuel Gridley, John Bronson, Daniel Warner, Ob- adiah Richards, Thomas Judd, Joe seph Hickok (more usual Hickox) !, Samuel Hickcox, Henry Scovill Occupied in 1892 by the Citizens Bank), John Newell (off the Green plain), Isaac Bronson. John Stand ly, Jr, John Warner, ST, the min istry," lot, and the lot of the miller Stephen Hopkins where East and South Main street now join.
 Important during this early set clement period was the birth of the first English child in Waterbury, Rebecca, daughter of the Thomas Richasons, and the birth of the first English male child, Richard Welton, born September 27. 1879 in all probability.

Rigid Control Coming

The day of promise will be here Tues day. However, those who have been waiting for it with bated breath may be doomed to disappointment. Rigid control of all liquor sales in Connecticut is in the offing. Doubtless those who disobey the law will find more leeway than those who obtain permits. Recent instructions of the State Liquor Control Board indicate that permittees of the different classes will be held directly responsible for all violations and will lose their licenses accordingly.
 So far as we can see there will be no serving of mixed drinks in any of our taverns, hotels or restaurants. This is hard blow for the hotel owners and pro- prietors to stomach. They have been counting heavily on restoration of their normal restaurant business with the re- turn of legalized liquors. But their sales under our state laws are restricted to beers and wines. Restaurants are simi- larly affected. Taverns may only sell beer Drug stores are still arguing how they will sell and will continue to argue for some time, as Raymond A. Johnson, assistant attorney general, has counter manded recent Control Board ruling.
 The Control Board says druggists must obtain package store permits, which pre- vents them selling whiskey on Sundays and election days and also after the legal hours for this type of permlttee. MT Johnson in his ruling claims that drug gists must get druggists permits to sell. There are no restrictions under this type of permit as to hours of sale. NI fbo tQcf case in the courts of the state and tenn porarily we presume that our pharmacies will abide by the liquor board ruling and secure package store permits.
 1t is a question whether liquors will be sold in Connecticut on next Tuesday. Technically prohibition ends Tuesday af- ternoon after Utah has become the Seth state to ratify the repealer amendment. That will be about the middle of the after noon as Utah's convention is called for noon, as are those in Pennsylvania and Ohio on the same day. However, Utah IS on mountain time, which is two hours later than ours. Hence, at 2 p. m, east ern standard time, Utah's convention will be called to order. At p. m., here, it will have thrown prohibition into the discard Attorney General Homer s. Cummings has ruled that prohibition officially ends with this action and without waiting for the formal ratification notice from Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull. It is safe to say that he will have prepared this to be issued as soon as the formal action of Utah reaches him in Washington This may be Wednesday.
 We presume that most states, now equipped with control laws, will take ad- vantage of the change on December 6, which is Wednesday. We haven't heard of any that expect to authorize sales on Tuesday. Newspaper headlines have in- timated such would happen, but we think Wednesday will witness the lifting of the lid officially in Connecticut In the mean time let us resolve to deal more eXpedi- tiously with the future, as regards our consumption of liquor, than we have in the past decade of so-called prohibition. We have our long-demanded state control. May we make the most of it.

BOUND TO BE READ
BY H. ALLEN SMITH
 Limited Press Book Editor)

California and the southwest are taken apart and put back together by Basil Woon in Incredible Land "a Jaunty Baedecker to Holly wood and the Great Southwest" (Liveright). Woon assumes at the outset that the reader is preparing to visit the places he describes, but it certainly isn't necessary to budge out of your home town in order to enjoy his book. He seeks to tell the truth about California. and he admits that the return of liquor probably will produce many changes in the country about which he writes.
 He tells about the various phe- nomena of Hollywood, the sights to be seen in Los Angeles. the re- sorts at Tia Juana and Agua Call iente, what goes on in the divorce capital at Reno, takes you to the Grand Canyon and Death Valley intact he skitters you all over the countryside before he finishes. He has compiled a book of descriptive facts that is very diverting. At the same time, if you ARE really going west, the volume is doubly vaIu- able.

.Siamese Twins in
 a Murder Mystery

Your old friend Ellery Queen returns to the wars this month with "The Siamese Twin Mystery" (Stokes: $2) and while l never have been one of this detective story writer's most ardent admir- CTS, I must say that this seems to me to be just about his best book
 Tn it we find the old New York police inspector and his pestiferous son driving through some remote New England mountains and blum dering into forest fire. They have to take refuge in mountaln-top home, and they get there just. in time to walk into a very puZzllng murder.
 There's a doctor mixed up in it., and pair of Ciamese twins-could you convict one twin of murder and acquit the other, and If so. what of it?-and some assorted relatives and hangers-on. The Queens once more display their genius for making asses of them selves, but they wind up by solving a crime which is presented very ingeniously.
 "The Devils Den," by Lawrence Saunders (Covici-Friede: $2), IS slightly reminiscent of the most re- cent Philo Vance story. except that it makes better reading. A moody artist is murdered during house party at his rural retreat and the scene is cluttered up with his mis- tresses, ex-mistresses and would- be mistresses.
 There's a gloomy lake in it, and footprints in the mud, and a bullet hole in tire, and the whole bus- mess is pretty entertaining.
 "Fu Manchu's Bride" by Sax Rohmer (Crime Club: $2) is typi- cal Sax Rohmer. The insidious Chinese has a chateau in France equipped with all manner of ultra scientific gadgets, and he seems to be plotting the overthrow of white civilization.
 As a step toward this horrible goal he sequesters a young girl to be his bride, and gallant young Englishman rescues her. If you feel that this is the sort of thing you need, I wouldn't stop you for the world.

union. It would not seem comme il faut for the Navy to seem Co want Co goDble up the tiny Coast Guard service.
 It does seem a duplication of effort, though, to separate the tasks of guarding our coastline from the armed invader and the smuggler. Both are too closely allied to be given to separate services. We do not desire to sacrifice the Coast Guard on an altar of economy, but we do believe that there is much wisdom in the pro- posal to make it part of the Navy. Still we're open to suggestions on the subject. know

Washington, Dec 2.--A secret move is on foot to perpetuate the present monopoly which the big broadcastlng companies have on choice wave lengths.
 It is being worked out behind closed doors by the so-called Roper Radio committee. App pointed by the secretary of conn merce originally to bring a new deal for radio, the committee ac- tually is working to continue the old deal.
 RAILROADING THE REPORT
 Members of the committee in- clude Senator Dill of Washington, Representative Sam Rayburn of Texas, Assistant Secretary of Commerce Dickinson, and Her bert l.. Pettey, secretary of the Federal Radio commission. What they are trying to do is get their report adopted by the White House before the general public knows about 1t, before opposi- ton can develop.
 Interests opposed to the pres- ent dominance of the two great broadcasting chains are urging open hearings. They claim that the $75,OOO,OO0 to $1OO,OOO,O ,OOO annually which the broadcasting companies get from advertising should not be limited to a closed corporation.
 So far they have made lit- tie progress. It looks as if the old deal for radio would con- tinue.
 Note-Among the unpaid bills listed by the Democratic Ma tional committee are: $107,- 571.71 owed to the National Broadcasting company and $47,- 65O.5O owed to the Columbia Broadcasting company.
 THE PRESIDENT RELAXES
 Madame Secretary Perkins was having a long conference with the president. They were dis cussing labor conditions in con- nection with the MIRA. Their conversation was detailed and technical. To an outsider not familiar with labor problems it would have been distinctly bor- ing.
 As the conference was about to conclude. Roosevelt leaned back and smiled.
 "Well Frances" he said, "yOu can sleep easy tonight. I've just signed the brassiere code" OFFICERS AND TREES
 Japanese military attaches in Washington are taking a lot of interest in the Citizen Conser- vation Camps and the fact that army officers are in charge of them. They also wonder why naval officers have been detailed to c. c. c. duty. Apparently Jap- anese suspect the camps of being a disguised method of training reserves.
 "Why do you put so many young officers in charge of the c. c. c. units?" asked one as. sistant Japanese military attache. "I can't understand why you should detail general staff off, cers to this duty. Tell me-" he persisetd, "are they good for trees?"

We also noticed in the course of the various remarks that Father Coughlin made and was caused to make during this past week that he had recognized the ob- vious intent of certain influences in the republican party to make Ogden l.. Mills the republican candidate for president in 1886. We'd like to see MT Mills the can- didate. We don't think that he could win even if the democratic candidate weren't President Roosevelt. Perhaps we are doing him an injustice, because it is pos sible for presidents to be elected over more popular opponents. However, we can't see the American people electing the former Treasury Department head in the near future.

Paris Letter
BY MARY KNIGHT United Press Stan COrrespondent)

United Press Stan COrrespondent)
 Paris. (UP)-Tep thousand sol- diers have been mobilized quietly at the Invalides and silently go through their maneuvers within those gray and ancient walls.
 Mobilization has been success fully effected by the Society for the Collectors of Tin Soldiers, and there is no branch of warfare not represented in the daily exhibit now open to the public.
 Visitors to the mobilization grounds will find the infantry, ar- tillery, trench mortars, ambulance units assembled in full battle equipment and ready for action. There also are machine gunners' engineers, cavalry and field artil- lery.
 Review of Uniforms
 One section of the exhibit of tin soldiers is devoted to a perspective of French uniforms from Jeanne PArc up to 1888. There are cross- bows and bikes and chainmail of Jeanne's soldiery. The perspective leads through Francois l and II and Henry W and through Louis XIV's war with Holland-blue and white uniforms, fiaring coats, lace cuffs, business like swords and long awkward looking pistols.
 Louis XvI's period is represent ed in infantry alone by uniforms from 49 regiments; those of Pi- cardy, Normandy, Erie. Blaisois, Navarro, Poitu, Bearn, He de Frapce, Lorraine. Burgundy and othersl There are detachments from several of Louis artillery regiments and eight cavalry pla- toons, including the Royal-Alie- mand.
 Nepoleon's Soldiers There The French revolution and Ma poleonic periods are. represented and several individual collections give perspectiyes of French soldiery through various periods, not to mention examples of non-Frencn | troops-Russian, Austrian, Mexi- can, Swedish, Irish and Scottish mercenaries.
 As for the drama of the tin sol dier exhibition at the Invalides 1t is evident in action scenes, ac- curately produced to the finest de- tail. There are reproductions of the battle of valmy in 1792. and the terrific charge across . meadow of Napoleon's Gronards at lena are startlingly lifelike. The warfare a' Chemin des Danes and Verdun and the Battle of Waterlow are de- ! picted with great movement

Among other things that Father Coughlin said this week was that the price of gold would be forced up to $4134 a fine ounce before the dollar is stabilized. That supports a claim made on this page a week ago Thursday when we quoted from the columns of the Cleveland News, a staunch republican organ and one owing much of it's success to the influence of the Hannas Some days before then it's fi- nancial editor had predicted the same thing. Perhaps it was from this source that Father Coughlin elicited his infor- nation. It would be hard to say when the REC. will have pushed the gold price up to the above figure. It was quoted yester- day at $34.O1, record price. This is $7 under the goal set. Stabilization can't come too quickly for most of us, so we're all for jumping the gold price by dollars, not cents.
