Washington agrees to let Spain send
US 100000 gallons of wine and Spain
agrees to buy about 100000 pounds
of American tobacco.
Port wine is recommended for the
old, in small quantities, when they
are no longer able to assimilate claret
and other, lighter acid wines.
But California produces excellent
port wine, sherry also; and it is well
to give American producers as much
of the American market as possible.

For Hard Coughs or
Colds That Worry You

Creomulsion is made to give SUI
preme help for coughs or colds.
IL combines z helps in one-the
Dest helps known to science. 1t is
1or quick relief, for safety.
But careful people, more and
more, use it for every cough that
starts. No one knows where a
cough may lead. No one can tell
which factor will do most. That
depends on the type of cold.
Creomulsion costs a little more
than lesser helps. But it means
the utmost help. And it costs you
nothing if it fails to bring the
QUICK relief you seek. Your drug

 The letter., introduced in evi- dence, read in part:
 "An coming to New York and l want you to handle publicity. promise something more specta- cular than what you handled in Boston. l want you, if possible, t0 get a pass for me to the stock. curb or grain exchange. The pub licity is not contingent upon this, but would make 1t much easier. Let me know your plans"

COLLEGE MEN TO STAND ASIDE BY
 LATEST RULING
Seven Managers in State Free Employment Bu-
 reaus Have Chance

Another change in the proposed plans to force managers of the seven state-federal employment bureaus in Connecticut out and to replace them with college-trained mon and women is now reported While admitting that the heads of the various bureaus, the officials in Connecticut maintain that there is no necessity for such 8 blanket ruling and they are backed up in their stand that persons with a high school education and 10 years practical training are quail flied under the regulations to act as managers.
 When the news came out that only college -trained persons could hold the managerial berths. indig- nation was voiced on all sides State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone, who is handling the SUI pervision of the state-federal bu. reaus. is considering. 1t is re- ported, divorcing the state em. ployment system from the federal departments rather than be forced to let his various appointees go.
 Tone Not Satisfied
 Because the federal government is contributing towards the sup port of the unemployment service in Connecticut under the PWA and CWA, the regulations here. as in other states, are set up in Washing ton, }. 0. It is understood that State Commissioner Tone would rather have the state raise suffi- cient money to eliminate the neces- sity of sderal help and keep his department running along as it has been up to the present time.

ITALY BACKS UP
 GERMAN DEMAND
Defensive Armaments for Germany Should Not
 Be Denied Her

Rome, Jan 31-(UP)-Italy SUD- ports Germany's plea to be allowed defensive armaments, an official memorandum showed to-day.
 The memorandum detailed the Italian viewpoint on disarmament which Premier Benito Mussolini conveyed to Sir John Simon, Bri- tish foreign secretary, in their conversations on January 3 and 4. It contains proposals which Musso- lini suggests be made effective un- til 1940, as follows:
 1. Abolition of chemical war fare, with provisions directed tow ards preventing preparation and experimentation with chemicals.
 2. Prohibition of aerial bom- bardment of civil populations.
 8. Limitation of military ex- penditures at their present level by powers not bound by treaty, except expenditures for replacements and completion of defensive works.
 4. Limitation of land war mat terials to their present level by powers not bound by treaty, except eventual replacements.
 It was explained that the aerial proposal could be made more radi- cal if regulations dealing with the interdependence of land and sea armaments are accepted.
 Tn the Italian view, this measure will facilitate the solution of the air parity problem for Germany.

CLINTON'S FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
 IS DESTROYED
Firemen of Four Places Fought Flames Early
 This Morning

| Clinton. Mass, Jan. 31-(UP)- | Gale whipped flames destroyed the | First Baptist church here early | today while frost bitten firemen from four communities battled for hours in sub-zero weather to save the towns business center. Police set the loss at $150.O0O. So effectively was the fight wag- ed that even the Fiske block. hous- ing stores and tenements and less than three feet from the burning edifice, was saved. But for a time it appeared that the town hall, the high school, and the Congrc.- gational church also were doomed
 Wisps of smoke seeped into the town hall, 25 yards away. where 500 were dancing at a President
 Roosevelt birthday hall but the merrymakers were prevented from becoming panicky when the or chestra struck up, "There'll Be A Hot Time in the Old Town To- night"
 Asleep in the church boiler room. where the fire started from undetermined cause. James Ans den. 70-year-old janitor. barely escaped with his life. A fireman, Michael Devaney, was injured when he fell on ice. Two families were driven out of the Fiske block It was 8 below zero when the fire started at midnight in the 35-year- church, brick struc- ture with a i00. foot steepie.
 Lashed by a 40.mile wind, the flames quickly enveloped the edi- fee. and soon embers were show ering a large area of the business district. Aid was summoned from the neighboring towns of T.ancas- ter and Sterling. and one fire truck came IA miles over the road from Worcester. Though the fire was controlled 1 1-2 hours after 1t started, firemen still guarded the smouldering ruins at 8 a. m. Only three bIackened walls of the church remained standing.

MAY STOP SALES OF ICE AND OIL
 IN SAME TRUCK
Health Department Gets COmplaint--Entire Old
 Staff ReappOinted

Adoption of an ordinance for bidding the sale of ice and range oil from the same truck is lively to be passed in Waterbury as 8 result of a complaint received yes- terday afternoon by the members of the board of health. The Wa terbury Ice Dealers association, in a communication to the board, de- clared that the selling of ice and range oil from the same truck is very unsanitary. Health Officer pr B J. Godfrey was ordered to make an investigation of the mat ter and report back to the next meeting of the board.
 There are many small ice dealers who carry oil on their trucks dur ing the winter months, along with ice. In this way they are able to make up, through their oil sales, for the falling off in revenue from ice.
 The board yesterday reappoint- ed all the present members of the health department staff and added two more nurses. Those added are Nellie Strong and Nellie Kenney. Both these nurses were dropped four years ago when the staff was cut down. The other nurses are Julia Guile, Mary Kinnane, Mary Bowling, Anna F. Shea, Amelia Gumpper, Bessie Shea, Stella Be- langer, Anna Dedwin, Mary Mona- gan, Isabelle Wilson, Agnes Shee- hy and Mary Grady.
 Miss Lucy Reed was reappointed secretary to Dr Godfrey and Miss Lillian Connor was renamed stat istician and clerk of the depart men.t Thomas Murphy and Terr- ennse Coughlan were reappointed sanitary inspectors.

Birthday Ball Euent
 Was One e-OfSplendor
Most Elaborate Affair Ever to Be Presented in Water buy-Many Features That Pleased the
 Immense Audience Last Night

In a brilliant setting of dress uniformed officials and attractively gowned ladies in bold relief against a beautifully decorated ball room, approximately 1,500 residents of the city assembled at Hamilton Park last night to take part in Waterbury's birthday party for President Roosevelt.
 From the opening strains of the concert, which led the pro- gram, through the thrilling grand march participated in by hum dreds, until the closing bars of the last orchestral selection, the thought was never absent, that this was a celebration in honor of a great President.
 President Present i'm Spirit
 He was present at Hamilton Park last night-present in spirit - for he said so in his brief radio speech, which came clearly over the amplifiers to all those gath cred in the ballroom. His open. ing remarks suddenly halted the drone of the many voices and a pronounced stiffness prevailed his entire address. every word of which was absorbed by his hushed listeners.
