the group was held and it was voted to hold a mass meeting on the goth in Garden hall at which all registered republicans will be given an opportunity to participate in open caucuses prior to the mak- ing up of tickets of delegates to be voted on at the g. O. p. primaries on the 2Sth.
 Tickets In All Wards
 The reorganization group has decided to enter the tickets se- lected at the mass meeting in all five words of the city in protest against the g. o. p. town commit tees decision of last week against open caucuses. In other words, two tickets will be presented in all wards, one from the regulars and one from the reorganiZationists The latter are especially interested in electing a majority of mem- bers of the town committee. Should they succeed, Adam Callan or possibly MT Rasmussen may be named chairman. Former Alder man John W. Jaeger is in the background as the unanimous choice of the faction, though, ac- cording to authentic reports.
 The name of former Assistant City Clerk George Casey is also be- ing mentioned for the senatorial nomination in the 18th on the g. o. D. ticket.

LIBRARY PROTEST
 ON CODE URGED
Thousands to Act on Booksellers Provisions
 at Next Meetings

Action on the booksellers code now awaiting approval of the MIRA code authorities will probably be taken by the Bronson Library, in conjunction with thousands of other public libraries throughout the country at the next meeting of the library board, scheduled for September. it was said at the lib- rary to-day.
 In campaign which embraces all members of the organization the American Library Association, of which the Silas Bronson Library is a m member, this week distributed appeals urging vigorous protest against the code.
 Due to the fact that Miss Eme- lyn Barrett, chief librarian. is on vacation. 1t could not be learned whether the local library has yet received the notice, but it is as- sumed that as all members of the association are included in the drive. the letter asking support will be received here this week.
 The proposed code provisions in- crease the price of books sold to the libraries and consequently would mean a greater appropria- tion to purchase the same number of books For the past few years libraries have been allowed a re- duction ip the price of books, which is now, by the terms of the code, in danger of being elimin- ated.
 Unless a greater appropriation is granted. therefore. the code with is present provisions will decrease the buying facilities of the library. It is with the object of killing this feature of the code. which will cripple library activities through out the country, that the national association is asking the support of all members in the protest.

Floyd Rasmussen, republican leader of the fourth ward, was to- day prominently mentioned as the nominee from the g. o. D. senator ial nomination in the 16th dis trict. Should MT Rasmussen, who is a member of the republican town committee. accept the nom- ination, history will repeat itself because about 20 years ago his late father, Hans Rasmussen, also campaigned for the senatorial post in the. l 9th but was defeated by his democratic opponent.
 Senator Joseph H. Lawlor is the choice for the 18th senatorial post on the democratic ticket. Floyd Rasmussen is being urged to make fight for victory for the g. o. D. forces, it being stated that if he makes as strong a fight as his father did before him he has a chance of making a political rec ord for himself.

simply by a comparison of the types of their blood. Should sever al donors answer to the type it is simply a matter of choice as to which one will be the donor or sometimes both of the volunteers are used. On the list to date there are 50 firemen available for serv- ice and it is expected through this last examination that the list will be greatly increased.
 When this system was first pre- sented the custom was to call the health office and ask for a donor having such type of blood and such a type of veins. The records were looked up and the man or men sent immediately but now the process is changed the slightest bit. Instead of referring to the health. office the hospital uses it's records and directly calls the man desired for the transfusion.
 According to the records of the health office it is over year since the latter office has been consult ed as to the name and whereabouts of the possible donor.

In accordance with the plan of both the Waterbury and St Mary's hospital an examination of candi- dates for blood transfusions took place Sunday afternoon. Bremen and policePen composed the group of volunteers that presented them selves for the examination. Some of these candidates were on the list of accepted donors previous to this test but were submitting them selves to a new examination. It is from these volunteer donors that the hospitals choose those to be used when an emergency case calls for a transfusion.
 Charts Prepared
 Some years ago the health de- partment under the direction of Dr E. J. Godfrey drew up a chart of all the donors in the ranks and by means of the result of their re- spective tests he formulated them in such a fashion that when pa tient requires transfusion this chart is referred to and in such a manner that persons who will make the proper donor is obtained

George went into city court with check for $1O, but when he left all that he had was five single dollar bills.
 Just to make things more interesting, George decided he didn't like city court after his case had been heard and he strollcd out, only to have the sturdy arm Ui Sergeant John Brickcl wrap itself around his neck as he left the door. George stayed.
 George was arrested last night after one of his peren- ninl stories of being held up, this time by four men on North Main street. When hear ing of his case began he strOde tO hIiu tooS5NN up n check for $1O. From Judge MascolO the check was rclayed to Probation officer Emil Hummel, who found the check was good. took out five dollars as partial back pay ment of probation for George, and gave George the remain- ing five.
 Georges case was continued for two weeks.
 Flash Shortly after noon, little more than an hour after he had left city court, George Opalenik was arrested by Patroiman Carl Hcspclt, assisted by Patrolman Patrick J. Reilly, and charged with intoxication and resist ance. George 1t seems, had been celebrating his visit to court with the result that he'll appear there again to- morrow.

First Victory
 M 'WarOf Tags

The first non-payment for parking tag since the "every- body pays" rule went into ef- feet was entered into the records this morning, when an explanation by Mrs Robert Crook of S7 Franklin street won her nolle for violation of the parking ordinance.
 Mrs Crook told Judge Mas colo that she had parked her car on Prospect street to bring a boy with q broken arm to a doctor for immediate medi- cal attention. When she came out from the doctors office, the car was decorated with n tag placed thereon by Patrol man William Barton. On hear ing the woman's story, the judge granted the nolic. It was the first time, in or out of court, that tag had been disposed of without the dollar payment since the new rule went into effect.
