CITY MERCHANTS
PLAN DOLLAR DAY
CONTINUED from Page ~

News stories during the past
week have announced booming
business in all parts of the country.
ders. And steel is considered the
key business of the country. Cur
rent news has to do with the rush
of textile, shoe and other businesses
to fill orders for Easter markets.
Waterbury will soon join the big
parade headed toward better times.
Local factories are bound to be af-
fected by the rush in other
branches Of business which are now
reporting their output to be on a
par with that Of 1929 and 1881.
All this indicates that now is the
time to get in your needed pur-
chases. Waterbury has not wit
messed any drastic rise in prices for
commodities such as food and
clothing even though that has hap
pened in other parts of the country.
It might start at any time.
For that reason, merchants of
the city want to place their mer-
chandise in advantageous positions
for the shoppers of the city. The
public is convinced of the value of
these. dollar day projects because
the shoppers have tried them be-
fore and found them to be as adj
vertised-good, substantial, valu-
able merchandise at wonderfully
low prices.
This dollar day on Thursday
should be a hum-dinger IL present
indications become more manifest
Any one who follows prices on
goods, such as mems shirts For in
stance-knows that when a $3.50
shirt is offered for 81, that there is
bargain! Well, that will be the
case in all lines Thursday.
Waterbury must be a town of
great fortitude. We came through
the depression-yes, it's all over,
everyone believes that-without
any serious consequences and we
came through the slashingly frigid
cold wave last week without a
single death. We are all breathing
better now and any day Mr. Robin,
that great harbinger of spring
and we hope prosperity-will come
bob-bob--bobbin' along with a
merry tune emanating from his red
breast.
So be prepared to be among
those who will be parading around
the cooperating stores on Thurs
days dollar day. You won't go
wrong when you pass your dollar
bill over the counter for a needed
purchase!

Paris, Feb 12-UP)-Commun-
lists riots broke out in northeast
Paris to-day, first manifestation of
disorder in Gripping one day
strike of highly unioned workers
through France,
Strikers in the strongly COM
munist st Denis section in the
northeast part of the capital de-
stroyed two street cars which offi-
Gals were trying to start.
The rioters looted stores during
a fight which resulted.
Steel helmeted police, dispatched
to the trouble center, dispersed the
communists.
The strike otherwise was peace
able all day. Night was expected
to bring further communist disor-
ders. Socialists and other strikers
were obeying their leaders orders
to remain quiet.
Three of those hurt in last
weeks riots died during the week
end. The revised casualty list was
Fl dead, 2,420 injured.
An attack by communists on the
Paris suburb of Gennevilliers was
so serious that police opened fire
at $3.50 p. M, shooting in the air
after rioters had overturned the
municipal garbage trucks.
The general strike was admitted
ly unsuccessful as far as COM
plete stoppage throughout France
is concerned. There were several
clashes between communists, So
cialists and police during the after
noon. Police had made 367 arrests
in the city and suburbs up to 8 p.
M, the hour set for red manifes-
tations.
The partial destruction of a
church in Marseilles by dynamite
was the most serious incident in
the nation. 1t was blamed on COM
munists.
Police announced they had un-
covered a red plot to sack the
chamber of deputies and perhaps
burn the Bourbon palace and par
Lament. A police guard was placed
around the buildings. Nearby SUBJ
way stations were closed and traf-
fic was forced to detour.
Stink bombs were thrown dur
ing the height of trading on the
Paris bourse. They did not inter-
rupt trading.
Scattering their efforts, COM
munists at 3 p. m. began trouble
in a dozen widely separated points
of Paris and the suburbs. A bus
was burned in the Place D'Italie.
Columns of workers marched in
the suburbs and calmly ordered
shopkeepers to close.
One thousand government postal
workers at the main branch in the
Due De Grenelle, near the Soviet
embassy, walked out, singing the
Internationale.

NATION TURNS TO TOMB

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 12.-UP).
The nation whose first official
notice of Abraham Lincoln listed
him in an 1910 census as zone
white male under 10 years Of age"
turned to his great marble tomb
today to honor his 125th birthday
anniversary.
The routine census phrase began
official references which traced a
career of the Civil war president
who was born in a Kentucky log
cabin.
The census listed four members
of the Lincoln family, United Press
research revealed. Abraham was
not classified by name. His father,
Thomas, was head of the family
and lived in Hardin county, Ken
lucky. The census report listed him
as between the ages rs and As"
Nancy Hanks Lincoln, the mother,
also was listed according to the
same age classification, while a
daughter, Sarah, was listed as "fe-
MALE under 10 years of age"
The ceremonies today were in
observance of a birthday anniver-
sary showing that Abraham Lin
coin was actually one year old at
the time of the 1910 census.
Among the mass of Lincoln data
assembled in the town which he
left to become president and in
which he is, buried was Lincoln's
photographed sketch with the
following history of his birth:
"I was born Feb. 18th. 1909, in
then Hardin county, Kentucky, at a
point within the new county of
Larue, mile or mile and a half
from where Hodgen's Mill now Is.
. 1t was on Holm Creek"
The Lincoln family had moved in
1903, to the farm on which Abra-
ham was born.
Another time that Lincoln re-
ferred to his birth was when he
himself wrote in the family Bible,
tradition of the pioneer families
the following:
abraham Lincoln, son of Thorn
as and Nancy Lincoln, was born
February 10. 1909"

Noel Coward's Design for III
ing" heads the double feature pro,
gram Warmers Strand offers its
patrons to-day, tomorrow and
Wednesday. Gary Cooper, Frederic
March, Miriam Hopkins and Ed
ward Everett Horton head tn
splen did cast.
The film is an adaptation of tn
brilliant and sophisticated Broad
way comedy of the same name, il
which laughter alternates witt
lrama in situations that have M
matches for originality in cinems
annals.
The principals, guided by tbs
fine hand of the director, contrib.
ute performances that scintillate
and bounce. The lucid and
sprightly dialogue by Ben Hecht
need make no apology to the orig
inal Coward script, and the visual
flow provided by the Lubitsch
cameras enhances the story far be-
yond footlight possibilities.
The plot, of course, is unusual
but the subtle craftsmanship Of
direction. the delicate shading of
the performance and the rare
good taste displayed generally
throughout the picture hold it
within the bounds of solid and en-
jeyable family entertainment.
The companion feature presents
Richard Barthlemess in "Massa-
cre." He is supported by Ann
Dvorak Claire Dodd and cast of
80. It is an unusual romance with
the unique triangle of a wealthy
white girl as the rival of an Indian
maid for the heart of Sioux
brave.
