Detachable fur collars
By VERA WINSTON

MORE AND more this year the
separation of fur and coat has become
the popular notion. Time was when
a fur collar not attached to its coat
was unheard Of, but now almost every
furred coat can become a tailored
furless one, while the collar does duty
with cloth dress or another coat.

While two mre companies in- formed fire headquarters today that they would be represented in the old fashioned firemen's parade here Saturday. the local depart ment officials were supervising fin al arrangements for the entertain ment of several thousand guests for the convention, which will be held both Friday and Saturday.
 Fire departments of Cos Cob and East Hartford this morning relay ed word that they would have men and equipment in the monster pa- rade of Saturday afternoon. Cos Cob will send 45 men and several pieces of apparatus. while East Hartford will send 25 firemen and pieces of apparatus.
 Blcachers Erected Today
 Meanwhile, in front of the City Hall. bleachers were erected this morning to accommodate several hundred persons. A reviewing stand will also be erected. More than a score of other workmen began this morning clearing off the Randolph and Gloves prop erty on Meadow street. where hundreds of automobiles and pieces of fire apparatus will be parked during the state associa- ton convention. The field is the official parking place for the con- vention.
 The bleachers in front of the City Hall will serve as an excellent point of vantage to watch the pa-

vkOEtlHQGu ItOhl a6S AsJ bargains of genuine quality-bar- gains that will cause buyers to wonder how the merchants do 1t. When the stores open on Thursday morning you are invited to enter and make a minute inspection of articles for sale in the cooperating stores. Don't hesitate too long, be- cause there are those who have had experience before and get down the first thing to get the pick of the choice offerings for sale.
 The stores will be open during the usual week day hours-that is, from 9 in the morning until o'clock in the evening. So all those planning to take part in the big Dollar Day event are urged tC make their preparations in accord ance with the stores schedules.
 Tomorrow the Waterbury Dem- ocrat will carry in its columns in- feresting announcements from lead !, ing merchants who are taking part in the Dollar Day event. The an- nouncements will contain interest ing reading and show merchandise at the prices to be observed on Thursday.
 The only request the merchants ask Is that the shoppers trade as early as possible to make their pur- chases so that there will not be any last minute rush and create an un- comfortable situation for all con cerned.
 Keep the date in mind-Thurs- day, Aug 1Gth-and plan to take part in the bargain day that makes the dollar stretch ten times Its normal purchasing value.

STATE

Performances this afternoon and evening matk tEe final presenta- ticns of the mammoth stage show and feature picture, Their Big Moment" now at Warmers State theater.
 Tomorrow brings an all new double feature screen presentation to be headlined by "One More River" starring beautiful Diana Wynyard. The picture is now play ing to record attendance at the Radio City Music Hall, in New York city.
 The novel was written by the late John Galsworthy as the last in the Forsyte Saga, and in 1t he details the story of a tragic mar riage in high society, with a Lon- don matron fleeing from her sa- distic husband in Ceylon and be- ing unjustly suspected on account of her subsequent friendship with a young man whom he meets on shipboard. The climax of the screenplay brings about a most surprising conclusion to a story which at all times is full of sus- pense and interest.
 Diana Wynyard displays her beauty and talent to excellent ad- vantage as the abused wife, and fine performances are given by Frank Lawton and Colin Give, who play leading roles. The entire cast. in fact. is excellent, includ- ing such talented players as Mrs Patrick Campbell. Reginald Dem ny, Jane Wyatt. Henry Stephenson, Lionel Atwill, Alan Mowbray and many others. Miss Wyatt debuts in this picture. Keep your eye on this young lady. We predict a vogue for her.
 The companion feature is to be The Line-Up" starring William Gargan with Marion Nixon, John Milan. Paul Hurst, Noel Francis and other favorites. It is a highly exciting dramatic meiodrama based on new and timely subject exposing the new activities of ganRland

STRAND

Doctor Monica" heads the cur rent double feature program at Warmers Strand theater. Kay Francis has the title role, but all though she portrays the part of d physician, there are no hospital scenes or medical sequences. The "other woman" is Jean Muir, and the husband, beloved by both, is played by Warren William. Verree Teasdale has another stellar role, and other important members of the cast include Phillip Reed, Elm ma Dunn. Herbert Funston, Ann Shoemaker, Virginia Hammond, Hale Hamilton and Virginia Pine.
 Dealing entirely with the social elect of New York, the picture is set in the background of beautiful Long Island estates and in lux urious apartments.
 The companion feature presents Wheeler and Woolsey in "Cock- eyed Cavaliers, a riotous comedy with music, and one of the best productions starring this pair of funsters yet to reach the screen.

 Flags. Bunting Appear
 Though the convention is still three days off, the city assumed a colorful appearance this morning as business men and residents fol- lowed the suggestion of the Cham Der of Commerce and placed flags and bunting 'on display. The City Hall, the Chamber of Commerce building, and other prominent buildings have already been hung with flags and bunting. The re- viewing stand and the bleac chers will be likewise decorated. It is hoped thatby tomorrow or Thurs day, the entire business section of the city and the parade route will have assumed an entirely festive appearance.
 Entertainment of the thousands of out of town guests will present a problem that firemen believed they have already solved. Plans have already been completed for taking care of the wives, children and friends of the delegates and paraders.

SOME DOUBT IN
 JOHNSON DEATH
(Continued from Page 1.)
Coroner Discounts It

Coroner Discounts It Deputy Coroner Walter w. Smyth, who is conducting the investigation discounts the theory of foul play for the reason that the man had been resident of Brookside Home intermittently since 1928. His last place of employment was Tn the Farrel Foundry Company. where he was engaged as moul- der. He had a room in the south end of the city. while he was work ing, and was quite we'll known in that section.
 Deputy Coroner Smyth believes the man was not struck by an au- tomobile because the autopsy per formed by Medical Examiner pr Edward H. Kirschbaum revealed no other injury except the scalp laceration and brain hemorrhage' If. Deputy Coroner Smyth points out, the man was struck by ma chine. his body would have signs of bruises or broken bones.
 Belief of Coroner
 It is the opinion of Deputy Cor oner Smyth that Johnson was walking along the road and notlc- ing a car approaching. stepped to one side and fell. At the point where the man was picked up there are stones and dirt piled by the state highway department em' ployes who are finishing up the job of paving Thomaston avenue. It is quite possible, Deputy Coroner Smyth explains. that when John son stepped off the pavement. he could have tripped over the dirt piled there. and fell, striking his head upon stone.
 Johnson is believed to have no relatives in the city. He is thought to have a sister in North Chicago. III, with whom authorities are at tempting to communicate.
 Johnson left the Brookside Home Sunday afternoon, August 9th, but his whereabouts are not known from that time until his body was picked up near midnight that night.
 Police investigation of the case Is being handled by Detective Will liam F. Foley.

(Cont1nued from Page 1.) pete in the speed race, I thought might go along as a passenger in the handicap race. But the ex- pense is far too great to risk fail- ure. and I doubt very much if you will see any Americans in the race".
 The National Aeronautical Asso- citation said that it had not been advised of any withdrawals, but aviation circles believed few if any Americans would compete.
 Miss Nichols said that Harold Gatty, of round-the-world fame, had given up hope of racing, anu that it was her impression that of all the original entrants, only Laura Ingalls, was going ahead with her plans. Miss Ingalls could not be reached immediately.
 Concerning the actual expense of the race, Miss Nichols said she believed $15,000 would be min- imum figure for the transportation of plane and pilot, and the nec- essary placement of gasoline along the route. which might run as high as 60 cents a gallon. On top of tildI ll5 uIS, iS tHc dCludl Ndjue VL the machine and the insurance. would be high. that some of the foreign entrants were ready to spend as much as $100,000 to win the widely-publi- cized race oyer Europe, the Near East, India and the East Indies to Australia, with a huge prize at stake.
 It is said that Jacquelins Coch- rane had withdrawn, but work on the plane she had ordered is con- tinuing.
 Clyde Pangborn, round-the-world flyer, and Roscoe Turner, holder of Transcontinental speed records, were both reported out of the race. Work on Pangborns new plane has been suspended. Mrs Louise McPhetridge Thaden was said to have cancelled her order for a special plane for the race. as did Russell HosleE of Huntington, Indiana.
 The large purse was the factor that originally attracted so many entrants.

It is being held to cele- brate the centenary of the state of Victoria and its capitol, Melbourne, and to encourage aviation in the Antipodes.
 with no assurance of their abil- ity to finish in one of the first three places, which carry cash prizes, the American flyers have become chary of risking their planes and money in such a diffi- cut and distant undertaking. One American Plane.
 Springfield, Mass, Aug. 14--(U P)-Work on one speed plane scheduled to compete in the Lon don Melbourne air race neared completion here today, while that on another stood suspended. Officials of the firm of Granville Miller & Delackner estimated that the plane they are building for Miss Jacqueline Cochrane of New York would be finished within 10 days.
 Work on the other plane, being built by the Granville Aircraft Corporation for Clyde Pangborn, was halted three weeks ago. This craft probably will not be com pleted.

GARDEN


 For months critics have been predicting that Spencer Tracy would soon emerge as full fiedged star. All that was needed they said, was a part strong enough to bring out his latent dramatic talent.
 That part has come at last in the role of Murray Golden in the Fox picture Now I'll Tell by Mrs Arnold Rothstein," which opens a; the Garden theater tomorrow. Winfield Sheehan, who produced the picture, came to that decision when filming was about half cosi- pleted and announced that Tracy would be starred in this and fu- ture pictures.
 Helen Twelvetrees plays the inn portant role of Virginia, the wife of Murray Golden. She is q girl of refinement who marries Golden and, because she loves him, over- looks his vices until she learns he has been unfaithful.

MURDERED BOXER
 BURIED TO-DAY
(continued from Page 1.)
Clues Held By Police

As tangible clues police had: /.
 IA stolen Ford sedan, found abandoned in Orient Heights yes- terday and believed to be the car in which the slayers escaped.
 2-A shotgun, found, wrapped in brown paper, in the tonneau of the sedan. Believed to be the mur- der weapon, it is a Springfield au- tomatic 12-gauge which fires as a high velocity gun nine buckshtts pellets in single discharge.
 3-An empty shell, also found in the tonneau. Police said this shell had been used in the shotgun and doubtless was the one which killed Siegel.
 Though no fingerprints were found on either the gun or the shell, police said these clues furn- ished lead that might solve the mystery.
 Fake Auto Registry
 The stolen sedan was registered in the name of James Costello of 194 Danforth street, Portland, Me. Investigation disclosed that Cos tello was unknown at that address. The car had been registered May 22 last.
 Police Chief Edward A. Tighe expressed confidence that mem Der of his department would oe able to positively identify two of the killers should they be appre- hended. He revealed that at II D. m., Sunday, three hours before the murder, this policeman halted the stolen sedan, which then had two occupants, on Ocean avenue. The policeman had become suspi. cious of the drivers actions, but the car was permitted to proceed after the operator had shown his license and registration.
 Early Theory Exploded
 An early theory that Siegel might have been slain because ne refused to sell certain brand or ale in his Glover Leaf Club was exploded.
 "When the facts become known. it will be revealed that the beer angle is out completely and that q far more sinister motive than ap' pears at present is behind the mur- der" Chief Tighe said.
