HUNGARY ENTERS
 US. WINE FIELD


 New York (UP)-With the. pass ing of prohibition rare wines of the European market are gray itating to America, according to wine experts. Despite 1s dry years, the United States still has the dis criminating palate and the pur- chasing power to absorb these vim tages, these experts declare. Low CTS of rarcs wine in the United States are inieriting the supplies which used to grace the tables Of the royal courts.
 Some five centuries ago royalty set its. approval on the wines of HRunSary. The limited area of vineyards, which yielded the cov- eted wine, were acquired by roy al Austro-HRungarian families. A mere commoner rarely tasted it. Louis XIV of France gave this golden wine the name, "The Wine of Kings and the King of Wine" Napoleon III once paid 10000 francs (when the franc was worth 20 cents) for 200 bottles. The Elm peror of Austria presented 2,000 bottles to the King of HRolland.
 Scientific Investigation has shown that the, Tokay region of Hungary, where this wine is grown, has peculiar formation of the substrata of earth, deriving peculiar mineral properties from volcanic causes

Contractors Oppose Relief Agencies Building Program

somewhat vague. Officials of the local association questioned by The Democrat stated emphatically that they would oppose EZRA or Mutual Aid supervision of the projects with every means in their power.
 Waterbury contractors have gone on record as being opposed to all building projects undertakes by relief agencies and at meeting held recently. strongly censured a reported building plan of the Mu- tual Aid whereby it was proposed to erect small settlement of wooden buildings at the Mutual Aid camp in Middlebury.
 Some doubt of the practicability of the proposed 1ow-cost houses for which plans have been drawn by an architect in the employ of the EZRA here, has also been ex- pressed. Although this entire plan is in a tentative stage it is be- Iieved that congressional approval will be granted and Waterbury, together with other cities of the state, has made preparations for the program.
 Thomas F.. Moran, ST, and T. F.. Moran, Jr, members of the con tracting firm of T. F.. Moran and Son, are among the local builders who will attend the meeting. The younger MT Moran will be pres ent in the interests of the Water bury Builders Exchange, of which he is secretary.
 Other topics to be discussed will include What Is Going to Happen to the Codes" and What Can We Do to Speed Up the FILA ?"

NO EVIDENCE AND
 MAN GIVEN NOLLE
Thomas ZastkO's Case, Awaiting Hearing Since
 Nov "A, Disposed of

After awaiting hearing since November A on charges of evad- ing responsibility, opera ting with out license and having illegal markers, Thomas Zastko, A, of Monson avenue, received a no,le in city court today when Prosecu- tor Joseph Neagle declared that there was no evidence against Zastko on any of the counts.
 Zastko was arrested after Jo- seph Burns, 22, of Cheshire, had complained that he was struck by a hit-and-run driver on Phoenix avenue. Burns was later arrested on charges of carrying counterfeit money and his case is now await ing trial in federal court.
 The alleged skip driver mean while furnished police with a per feet alibi as to his whereabouts when Burns was hit by the car, and claimed his car was stolen. Hisclaims were found to be cor rect, and police are now of the opinion that Burns may have stolen the car and was in it when he was injured or may have been hit by the car while still another driver who stole it was at the wheel.

The smoothest and most melodic arrangements are featured by the Jones musickers, including those which Isham wrote himself. He has a special style all his own which has clicked successfully with danc- CTS everywhere and won him tre- mendous following.
 The Jones musicians are busy lot all year round. Besides their regular commercials, heavy schedule of college functions and one nighters kep them steadily hopping. One might wonder why Jones has not accepted the many lucrative hotel offers made him quite often, but the truth of the mater is that his band is in such great demand for single engage ments at top figures, that it would hardly pay him to take a steady "spot."
 Waterbury is fortunate in being able to hear him especially on a Saturday night. He will open his dance program at S:30 o'clock to- morrow night at the park and con tinue until midnight.

Last Minute Rush For
 Markers Is Predicted
AutOsts Have Failed to Respond to Appeal for Early
 Applications Mail System Satisfactory

Unless there is a decided in crease in the number of applica- tions for automobile markers with in the next few weeks it seems likely that the annual last minute rush for registration will be re- peated, officials of the local bureau said to-day.
 While there has been a slight increase in the number of applica- tions over the figure for this same period last year. it has not been large enough to justify early pre- dictions of peace and quiet during the last few days in the month.
 The new system, however, is working out satisfactorily, it was said, and makes the work of the department much easier. Renewal applications are being sent out for the first time this year through the mails. The car owner signs the and brings it to the office where he is given the new plates.

Wichitas, After 7O-Year Trek,
Nav Soon Return to Old Home
BY SAMUEL A. MONTAGUE.

Pursuit soon developed, both the
five tribes and Confederate soldiers
joining the chase. At the Salt Fork
the tribe was overtaken and, amid
scenes of terrible butchery, scores were
killed.
The tribe arrived here as Winter
was coming on. Without supplies or
clothing, many died from starvation
and sickness. Springtime found them
a nearly naked band upon whom the
Osages took pity. With Usage per-
mission they settled at the mouth of
the Little Arkansas.
Given horses by the Osages, the
Wichitas became Federal scouts, many
serving throughout the war in that
capacity.
Until 1867 they lived on the present
site of Wichita. Then white suspicion
again forced them to move. The wild
tribes, unforgetting the Sand Greek
massacre, were waging ceaseless war
fare against the whites and Army
officers feared the Wichitas might Join
them.
At the height of their harvest sea-
son the Wichitas were ordered to
move into Indian Territory. To run
their cup Of misery over, cholera broke
out among the tribesmen.
Nor were their sufferings yet over.
A prairie fire burned IS of their
horses.
Finally, limping, ragged and down.
cast, o pitiful remnant of the once
prosperous tribe struggled into the
agency at .Anadarko. They have lived
there since.

WICHITA, Kans, December B.
After more than 10 years Of wander
ing, the Wichitas may soon be going
home.
The Indian tribe which gave this
city its name now has before the
United States Court Of Claims a
claim to 100000 acres Of rich farm
ing land between the Brazos and Red
Rivers, from which the tribe was
driven in the early days of the Civil
War. Tribal leaders are hopeful that
there will soon be favorable action on
their plea.
In the language of the claim and
It's supporting briefs there is written
the story Of a tribal tragedy which
sent . prosperous people into poverty
ridden exile and decimated theiI
ranks.
The tribe now lives on . reservation
near Anararko, Okla, but from l70C
to 1859 it owned and hunted upon the
5000, 900 acres it now seeks to regain
Incidents preceding the Civil War
led to the exile. The powerful slave
holding five civilized tribes naturally
sided with the South, but their neigh
bors, the Wichitas, the Shawnees, the
Kickapoos and the Delawares, held
strong allegiance to the North.
Persecution caused the Wichitas tc
flee their homeland. DESERVING their
cultivated fields and gardens, the
tribesmen took their dogs, horses and
such household goods as could be car.

trick Is merely in making a degree

This total is the Sc degrees above

Scientifically 1t makes no difference
