SOUND OF SIREN
 STARTED PARADE
All Bremen in City and Visiting Bodies Got
 Away on March

Four sharp blasts on the City Hall fire siren will at o'clock this afternoon set into motion the old fashioned fire parade, the largest one which promises to outdo in color and spectacle any which has ever been held in this part of, the state. From the formation points along Freight and Meadow streets. the first units of the procession will begin their march up Grand street on the stroke of two.
 It will be a parade that will turn back the pages of time for some 10 or 60 years, for it will have as it's features the very attractions which made the old time fire parades so historic in their significance. They'll all be there-the red shirts, the parade carriages which since have almost grown obsolete, the fire trumpets, the old style

 Police were close-lipped, but their activities seemed to center in this vicinity which before re- peal was we'll known by American gangsters engaged in running liquor across the St Clair river into Detroit and Michigan.

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Berlin, Aug 1S-(UP)-Exhort- ed by speakers, goaded by party workers, Germans prepared today to write page in their history by massing at the polls in millions tomorrow and voting in national referendum to confirm Reichsfuhr- CT Adolf Hitler as their dictator president. chancellor, war lord combined.
 Hitler's goal was vote of more than the 40,5SS,000 by which the 45,000,000 electors-of a popula- tion of 65,O00. 0.000-approved last November his withdrawal from the eague of Nations and disarmament conference. ,s
 He sounded the keynote of his appeal himself in his speech at Hamburg last night. It was abso- lute unity, without question, with. out criticism, under Hitler, the Nazi party and the army, for a Germany that would rise through sacrifice and struggle to its old time glory despite foreign enmity and internal depression.
 Hedging his life to his country's welfare, he said:
 "The task for the immediate fu- ture is to relieve the agricultural situation and overcome unemploy- ment.
 We shall succeed because we must"

MAYOR HAYESIS KEYHOLDER FOR
 STATE TICKET
He Can Have Lieut. Gov Nomination--Slate Not
 as Yet Prepared

Mayor Frank Hayes of this city now holds the key to the makeup of the democratic state ticket in the opinion of party leaders throughout Connecticut. This is due to the fact that he can have the nomination for lieutenant-gov- ernor if he wants it and until he is definitely on or off the ticket it will not be possible to go ahead and give proper recognition to geo. graphical and racial considerations when the slate of candidates is drawn up at New London.
 Mayor Hayes is still noncom- initial on the subject. Asked dur ing the week as to his intentions. he said that he had not yet com pleted the task of giving the situa- ton thorough consideration.
 Both Guards Satisfied
 Both the "old guard" and "new guard" factions are understood to be willing to have Mayor Hayes run for the lieutenant-governo This is no surprise, because, when the convention of two years ago took place in New London. he was
 
 he refused to accept. At that time it was also said that ex-Mayor William B. Thoms would be suit able to both factions. but this Wa terbury man also declined to accept.
 The leading democrats of Water bury are waiting anxiously for Mayor Hayes decision and so are the leaders throughout the state. Should he decline the nomination, there is yet the possibility of Wa terbury being given a.place on the ticket. Finance Commissioners Charles Jackson is being mentioned for the nomination of state treas- urer. However. Mayor Hayes has first choice and the party leaders are waiting for him to make up his mind so that a tentative slate can be prepared for the New Lon

The witness for the defense was
Hon Ansemo Fabio
After the witnesses were examined
on both sides. the Government Attorney
said, that he could not see where the
crime was committed at all.
The Court decided that the case was
not such an important one. and such
case is certainly embarrassing to Court
of this kind, and it is impossible to
parade without blocking traffic.
After some more remarks in his usual
able way, Judge Wilson said. Davis
was technically guilty and imposed
fine of 81 90 suspended. The Court also
stated that all the other people were
also guilty of obstru citing free passage
and should have been brought in.
Judge Wilson took the opportunity to
welcome Lawyer James Bough, native
aad recent graduate of Columb Law
School The Judge remarked that Vir.
gin islanders should be proud of
him, and the Court is also proud OF him
and expects great work from him. Judge
Wilson further stated that he hopes TO
see the time come where men who grad
uate from reputable colleges of law will
not have to submit to any bar examina-
ton in these islands. and he asked the
Government Attorney to look about that.

ITALIAN VILLAGE

and come back to your own, your native land.
 But when you do when you enter the village that stands for Americas part in this congress of villages of the world, 1t won't be the America of everyday life that you know. For, as was the case in the English village you'll be transported back two centuries or more the moment you en- ter the Colonial village.
 Dominating the village Is the tall spire of Old North Church in whose belfry tower hung the lantern cone If by land and two if by seaD which sent Paul Revere riding furiously north westward that April night nearly 16O years ago. Pauls house is there, too, as is the old Massa- chusetts state house. That little building over there is the print shop of a young man named Ben Franklin. Tn that house lives Betsey Ross. busy with her needle and thread on a new flag of Red and White and Blue-just such a flag as floats gently in the breezes from Lake Michigan at the top of the tall flag pole which stands in the middle of the village.
 Hereis the House of Seven Gables, the Witches House, the Pirate Gaol, the Village Smithy (Yes, there's spreading chestnut tree') the Pilgrim Settlement, Colonial Kitchen and Wayside Inn. Over there Is the Governors Palace, the Virginia Tavern and Wakefield, where George Washington was born You walk across the Vil- lage Green and mount the steps of Mount Yer non. You pass on through this stately mansion to the colonial gardens in the rear then out into the blazing sunlight and noise of the Midway. You blink your eyes as though waking up from dream. This Is Chicago and 1884 and not Vir- ginia and 1775. And then you remember: in three or four hours, you've been around the world You've been "going abroad at home. o by Western Newspaper Union.
