the same language of President Roosevelt politically.
 Mayor Hayes reiterated his prev ious claims that the Roosevelt pol icy has brought the country back to better times and charged the republicans with conducting de- structionist campaign. Governor Cross and the other speakers pointed out many holes in the republican campaign plans and promises.
 Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, g.o.p. gubernatorial nominee. /al- leged in an address in New Haven that there are bewildering incon- sistencies in Governor Cross statements during the present campaign.
 Maloney Keeps Up Attack
 Congressman Maloney spoke from WTIC last night and contin- ued his attack on his g.o.p. oppo- nent, Senator Walcott. He ridi- culed many assertions of Senator Walcott. He cited the Walcott and Campbell Spinning Company, witE which Senator Walcott is connect ed, and proceeded to show how the MIRA codes have benefited the textile industry. He charged that Senator Walcott moved his mill to the South. Senator Walcott, he charged, "does not talk as he thinks and does not seem to think as he talks. Among other things he said:
 Senator Walcott adopts the at- titude so clearly and definitely the practice of his party. He seems to think, as do the special interests who have taken control of the re- publican party, that what they say is right because they are republ1- cans. They clearly indicate that

 for your farm products; you may not be able to get job; in fact. you may starve, but be consoled by the fact that you will be right. T do not think I am going to lose this election because the Hartford Courant calls me names;

 lished years ago, unless those quo tations deal specifically with the
 problems of America and the
 American people today.
 "Let me tell the editor of the Hartford Courant my definition Of

 Other Speakers
 In Bloomfield last night former Attorney-General Frank E. Healey of Windsor Locks, the man who put Attorney Alcorn's name before the republican state convention charged that while Governor
 Cross is talking economy in state government his two sons are on
 the state payroll.
 Attorney Edward J. Daily of west
 Hartford. democratic candidate for attorney-general, spoke in Hart ford last night. He said: am still waiting for some spokesman of the republican party to inform the voters of the state just why they are so privileged in their criticism of democratic commis- sioners for appointing democrats to their staffs when it is apparent that patronage is practiced to the nth degree by them.

may be purchased ready-made or may be manufactured at home. The experiment station devised the following successful method of banding trees:
 Encircle the trunk with a strip of cotton batting about two inches wide. This will fill the crevices of the bark and keep moths from crawling under the band. Draw five-inch wide strip of single-ply tar paper taut over tEe cotton and tack in place. Paint the upper half of the tar paper with tree tanglefoot aplied |one-quarter inch thick using a pad- dle for spreading. Keep this thor oughly sticky until January and again April and May. If the band is covered with leaves and insects from time to time, it will need to be stirred up with a notched pad dle, or repainted.
 Bands should be placed about six feet aDove ground so that they will not be in the way of animals or people.
 While it is possible to apply tanglefoot directly to the bark of the tree, Dr Britton warns that this method will permanently disfigure the trunk.
 Moths that are not caught in the tanglefoot will lay egg masses below the band or on it. When the worms come out in spring, tue bands must be painted again to prevent the creatures from climb ing up to the leafy part of the tree.
 While banding is effective for isolated trees, Dr Britton does not feel that it is so successful where many trees stand together, their branches interlacing. Sprays of lead arsenate applied in May will also control canker worms.

 This is political campaign. you know" Hopkins said when ques- toned concerning the Mills state- ment.
 "I wonder how much they had to pay per head to get the audience out.
 Ut amazes me when I see Mills name in the paper on a speech about any shing.' he concluded.
 In view of numerous republican attacks on the democratic relief set-up, Hopkins predicted that there. would be fewed people on re- lief this winter than last, when the CWA was in full swing.

ICEBERCS SEEN
 FOR FIRST TIME
 UP BOSTON WAY
Three of Them Sited Off Cape COd-New Mark
 in History

Chatham, Mass, Feb. o. CUP. --1cebergs appeared off Cape Cod today for the first time within the memory of oldest inhabitants.
 The bergs, three in number anC each about 10 to 12 feet high, were sighted by coast guards at the Monomoy Point station. They were two miles off shore.
 Pointing out that ioebergs show only one eighth of their bulk over water, coast guards estimated that the bergs extended below the surf ace for 70 or 80 feet, thus being real menace to navigation. 1t was believed, however, that the bergs might be beached by the tide
 Coast guards said that never be- fore in the 33-year history of the Monomoy Point station had even such small bergs been sighted in Cape Cod waters. The bergs could be seen with the naked eye from shore here, and with the aid of a spyglass, from the Highland Light signal station at North Truro.
 When he received the report of icebergs, Commander J. A. starr of the coast guard district, in Bos- ton, was incredulous.
 "It doesn't seem possible that even small bergs could reach Cape Cod waters" he said. Usually bergs get no nearer New England than the Grand Banks, for wher they reach the Gulf stream they melt"

Trading Friday morning was practically at standstill due to the cold. Values remained largely unchanged where little business was done. Wholesalers of fruits and vegetables had moderate SUD- plies on hand, but enough to take care of the limited demand coming from retailers.
 Shipped In products were listed mostly at unchanged prices in re- ports from larger markets, this probably because the area of ex- treme cold did not extend to mid- dle-western and southern produc- ing states.
 Live poultry was holding firm and New York reports quoted fowl one cent higher than the previous day. Best colored fowl were listed at 20 cents a pound, Leghorn fowl at IS for the highest figure and best colored broilers remained un- changed at 25 cents a pound.

 Business For Nation
Proper Balance Between Recovery and Reform Must

group of consumers. Thus, by att tributing the depression to inequal- ities of distribution, the joint ob- jectives of reform and recovery arc made to go hand-in-hand
 An attempt is being made si- muitaneously to aid the consumer the worker. the farmer, and the business man. But aid to one group increases the burden on the others. The only way in which ali groups can advance together is through an increase in the total national income; that is, in the ag- gregate output of farms, mines, and factories. But goods are and must be produced for the sake of profits; and the current program, instead of making it easier for bus mess concerns to earn profits. tends in some ways to make 1t more diffi- cult. In this way. it runs the risk of lesSening the incentive to bus mess activity and of preventing an increase that might otherwise take place in the national income.
 The practical danger at present is that encroachments on profits may discourage business initiative to such an extent that recovery will stop and socialistic practices will be resorted to as matter of necessity. Recovery must not be sacrificed to reform; for, without recovery, reform is meaningless. Economic welfare consists in a large output widely distributed among the population. But before the distribution can take place, there must be an output to dis tribute; and the terms of distri- button must be such as to assure that the output will be main- taincd.

SUNDE WOMAN IN NOVEL LAW SUIT
 OVER HUSBAND
Burlesque Queen Stole the Husband of Home LOv=
 ing Mrs Sunde

Chicago, Feb 9-UP)-The le- gal contest between Mary Sunde burlesque queen "stripper," and Ann Sunde, home loving wife. was described by Mary today as "just 8 case of one good blonde against another and may the best blonde win"
 The two are not related.
 Miss Sunde bounced indignantly to her feet and logged the air with blasts of cigaret smoke as she dis Cusscd her nomination in a sep arate maintenance suit in which Mrs Ann Sunde asserted that she had been robbed of her husband s affections.
 T never robbed anybody of any thing" shrilled the actress. What ever I got was brought along and laid on the doorstep. 1 don't have to rob. ] have to lock my own doors."
 Mrs Sunde, who is A, and more than attractive herself, asserted ir her suit that her husband, Gerhari T. Sunde, has become so infatuated with Miss Sunde that he had rent ed an adjoining room in a hotel and had given her stellar role in production under his manage ment.
 Judge Rudolph Desor. enjoined Sunde from "seeing or speaking t6" Miss Sunde.
 To that, also, Mary had an ade- Quate comeback.
 "I'll bet" she said, glancing into a mirror. that if he sees me he'll speak to me-

WOOL MARKET

Boston, Feb 9-(UPo-Woo1s we're selling only in small lots in Boston today, only in sufficient vol ume to give manufacturers a little long staple flores to blend with short flores now being used exten- sively.
 The trend was unmistakably to- ward cheaper and competitive flores, including noils, rags, garnets and wastes, because of the high cost of wools. Prices held steady to firm with no quotable changes.
 The U. s. agriculture department said: Greasy wools are moving very slowly in the Boston market Sales of limited quantities, how ever, are fairly well distributed over the various grades and prices are staedy. A little fine Ohio De- laine sells at 35-36 cents in the grease. Average twelve months Texas wool has been moved at 82- 85 cents, secured basis. Strictly combing medium quality territory wools sell in small parcels at 80- 83 cents, secured basis. for 56s, 3-S blood, and at 72-74 cents, secured basis, for ASS, sos, IA blood"

Washington, Feb. 9.--(UP).- Stabilization of the American dol.
 lar on terms of gold has removed great obstacle" to restoration of business confidence and business men in general are planning q higher rate of activity this spring. the American Federation of Labor reported today in its monthly sur- vey of business.
 Coincident with the optimistic
 labor review were official and semi
 official reports of new business gains, prospects of a heavy flow of investment money backinto pri-
 vate industry and continued
 mounting tide of revenue into the federal treasury.
 "Stabilization of the dollar" the Federation of Labor said, "has re.
 moved a great obstacle to restora- ton of business confidence. Evj- dence of business gains is increas- ing. The standard statistics index

NEW STORIES ON MISSING WOMAN.
 ALICE I. QUINN
Brother and Two Sisters Have Been Estranged
 From Her for Years

Boston, Feb 9-UP)-Authori- ties had learned more to-day about the past life of Alice T. Quinn, 55 year old bookkeper and former Medford school teacher, but the new information failed to shed any light on her mysterious disappear ance Sunday night.
 A brother and two sisters of the cultured Medford spinster. es- tranged from her since she left the Catholic church at the age of IT, told District Attorney Warren l.. Bishop of Middlesex county that Miss Quinn had been tilted by q suitor 15 years ago, but that in their opinion she had long since forgotten the hurt.
 The brother, Joseph A. Quinn of Hancock, N. H., and the sisters, Mrs Frank Baxter of Lowell and Mrs Patrick Shea of Bennington, N. IT., felt certain that their sister would not consider suicide. This opinion jibed with Bishops asser- ton that, because of information which he was withholding, he was tconvinced that there had been foul play.
 But further facts were uncov- cred to support the theory that Miss Quinn ended her life, prob- ably in the Mystic river, because her health was failing and before she had lost one home, was in danger of losing another, and was having difficulty in financing the education of her ward, IS year old Dorothy Fuller. It was disclosed that before leaving work Saturday at Boston plumbing establish. ment she carefully wrapped up and took away a photograph of Miss Fuller which she had kept on her office desk for several years.

TWENTY BELOW IS
 RECORD IN VILE
COldest Day in Forty Years Trolley Service De-
 Iayed This Morning
WATERVILLE

With thermometers registering as low as 20 degrees below zero in the more exposed places this morning, Waterville experienced its coldLst day in more than forty years. This is the ninth day of the present cold snap in which the temperature has been constantly below freezing and on several oc- casions, sub-Zero. With the rapid drop in temperature which started yesterday afternoon it soon became apparent that a new low would be recorded before morning and heaters were pushed to the limit in local homes to secure as much comfort as possible. Many car owners found themselves unable to start their vehicles this morn ing due to frozen radiators or run down batteries. Plumbers and their assistants found them selves swamped with calls to re- pair frozen fixtures in houses in all parts of the vile. Coal and fuel oil dealers found it difficult to make emergency deliveries, so great was the call from custom CTS who found their supplies un- expectedly depleted. Many pupils at Sprague grammar school, par ticularly those in the lower grades, were kept at home because of the severe cold.
 Delayed Service
 Loud and vehement protests were voiced by many Connecticut company patrons this morning be- cause of, delays to service which seemed more or less unnecessary. No car left Waterville between 2 and 7:30 a. m. During that inter- val one car proceeded to the end of the line but instead of immedl- ately returning to pick up passen- gers who were grouped, shivering, at the various stops as they awaited cars normally leaving at 7:10 and 7:2O a. m., it waited until the ar rival of the car scheduled to leave at 7:30. The the two cars left to- gether. It would seem that the car Starters might have used better judgment on such q cold morning instead of forcing patrons to wait unnecessarily, particularly when there was no apparent good req son for any delays in the normal schedule,
