AVERILL PRAISES C OF CANDIDATES
Assistant AttOrney=Gen= eral Says Regimentati0n
 Same as Dictatorship

Connecticut never had such rep resentatives in the past as she has in Congressman Edward w. Goss, Congressman-a Charles T. Bakewell and U. s. Senator Fred eric c. Walcott, declared Ernest l.. Averill, assistant attorney-gen- eral, in rallies conducted by the first ward republicans at Slocum school and the United Italian Re- publican club in Liberty hall last night.
 "It is up to you voters, said Attorney Averill, whether you want to continue the form of gov ernment that his withstood the test of changing conditions for 150 years or whether you want to elect representatives who will pass the buck to Chief Executive" The speaker said all of the three re- publican representative of the state at Washington all have minds of their own and should be re- elected if the people of the state want to retain the privileges given them under the Constitution. He said regimentation is the same as a dictatorship.
 In addition to Attorney Averill, others who spoke at the rallies were Rev. Daniel T. Kennedy of Suffield. Attorney Walter D. Make peace, candidate for judge of pro- bate, Attorney George J. Crocic- chia, candidate for senator. Err nest L. Clyde, and Mrs. Florence Sherwood, candidates for state rep resentatives and Mrs. Florence Webster, member of the board of education. Alexander Standard was chairman of the Slocum school rally and Peter DeCicco presided at the one at Libery hall.
 Rev. Kennedy said six weeks ago he would have bet he would not make a political speech but that he became disturbed because the democrats are making efforts, through the distribution of relief funds, to set up an anti Constitu- tional party.
 "That is not 8 new political party" Rev. MT. Kennedy said. "It is a cancer on our national life. They say the constitution is outworn. I challenge them to state what part is outworn." The speaker declared that Hugh M. Alcorn, candidate for governor is indepen- dent, clean and fearless.
 Attorney Crocicchia said that if the voters want MT. Alcorn to run the state, he should have republi- can legislators to assist him. That cannot be, unless republican sena- tors and representatives are elect ed throughout the tate, he ex- plained. He lauded the qualifica- tions of Attorney Makepeace for judge of probate, stating, he would see that widows and orphans were treated with respect and justice.
 MT. Clyde said that if elected he would work for measures for pulp lie health and safety and for a more equitable liquor law. Mrs. Sherwood said she would support the Alcorn program whole-hearted- ly and work especially for welfare and educational programs. Mrs. Webster urged election of repub- licans to Congress so that stabili- zation of currency can be effecter and the balancing of the budget. Attorney Makepeace urged the election of Congressman Goss and Attorney Crocicchia, stating the former has shown, by his fine rec ord what he can do,' and that the latter has the necessary training to make . fine legislator.

FISH RELOCATION
 CAUSES PROTESTS
Federal Methods of Trout
 Distribution fingers Many Anglers

Hartford. oct 31.-Distribution of trout and other fishes from fisn hatcheries to private waters rom which the public is barred Is pro- tested in a petition of the state board of fisheries and game ad- dressed to-day to United States Commissioner of Fisheries Frank T. Bell at Washington.
 Action of the board was prompt ed by a belief that fish paid for from public funds should not De allocated in a manner that pre- vents the public from deriving any benefits, according to Supertnten- dent Arthur l.. Clark. /.
 Investigations into shipment of half 6 carload of trout into Con- necticut from federal sources this wear have shown that thousands of them went to private fishing clubs and individuals for stocking pri- vate streams, the board announces. While no objection is made to sportsmen's organizations or indi- yiduals of this or any other state being supplied with federal fish for stocking unposted waters, 1t is urged that state fish commission CTS be consulted in the matter first.
 The communication to Commis- sioner Bell in part follows:
 "At a meeting of this board October 22 the following resolu- tion was adopted:
 "Voted, that the United States Bureau of Fisheries is petitioned to cease the distribution of trout and other fish for privately-owned or controlled waters and to confine their distributions entirely to wa ters open to the public for fishing; all distributions being made only with the recommendations of state fish commissioners"
 Numerous protests against fed eral methods of trout distribution to private sources have been made to the board by anglers, Superin- tendent Clark stated.

RESPECT COLDS
 HEALTH WARNING
Danger Season for Pneu' mOnia About to Open;
 Disease Cycle Shown

That the pneumonia season has arrived, and can be guarded against only by avoiding exposure to wet and cold and by showing great respect for the comm on cold and mild influenza, is the summary of an article by William
 c. Welling, director of the bureau
 of vital statistics of the state de-
 partment of health, fin the depart
 fnent's monthly bulletin published to-day.
 There is no disputing the fact that each year brings a pneufnonia cycle between the months of Mo- vember- and April, MT Yelling shows by listing the annual aver- age number of deaths from the disease by months. Regarding the average as the normal number Of 1 deaths, and assigning to the aver age the value of 100 per cent, an idea of seasonal prevalence can be gained by noting that October shows arise, 100 is passed in Mo- vember, and the peak of nearly 25O is reached in January, drop ping to 100, or normal, in April, and slumping away during the summer months.
 Much has been accomplished in bringing down the death rate for pneumonia, Mir Welling's statistics show, but it is still a very danger ous disease. It goes hand and
 hand with influenza. When one is prevalent so is the other. Both

 66.0 deaths per 100000 population
 was recorded in 1882 and shows
 by how much this rate may ratur- ally fiuctuate, as we'll as giving hope that eventually control will be such that rates Of 66.0 will be com

 ''The low rate of 66.0 is of par
 ticular interest because it has been
 recorded in the midst of serious and unfavorable economic oondi-
 tions."

A little gasp escaped Jane. The

liable one. but this made it none the
less disconcerting. She looked at
Packy, her face reddening.

certain embarrassment. But he
winked quickly, a wink that said,
''Humor him. 1t is better So" To
explain, he realized, would merely be
to introduce the Blair Eggleston mo-
tif, and to do this would not be wise.

minutes"
He stumped of and Jane and Packy
started back to the chateau. They
walked in silence, each little
pensive. Packy was feeling mildly
surprised that, considering how deeply
in love he was with Beatrice, the
recent embrace had not revolted him
more He had not enjoyed 1t. oi
course. He was, however, conscious
of feeling OF relief that Beatrice
had not been an eyewitness OF the
episode.
Jane was thinking rather along the
same lines. 1t would be too much
naturally, to say that she had de-
rived any pleasure from Packy,s kiss
On the other hand, 1t had not Jared
every fiber Of her being. But she
was glad that Blair had not hap
pened to be looking on at the moment
They came meditatively in view OF
the house. How funny these old
French chateaux are" said Jane.
Very funny" said Packy. "All
those turrets and things"
They began to discuss medieval
French architecture In q guarded way
1t was some Is minutes later
that the garden door Of the chateau
was flung exuberantly open and Sena-
tor Opal came bounding out. His
| quest had bSen completely successful
The briefest Of explorations Of the
Venetian suite had shown him the
safe, let into the wall beside the bed
He was feeling pleased with himself
and his manner showed 1t, when sud-
denly he became aware Of q young
woman approaching him.
It was Midway, Mrs. Gedge's maid
In one hand she carried q book. In
| the other q half-smoked cigar. Halt
ing. she fixed him with q respectful
eye and eptended the cigar stump be-
tween dainty fingers.
Would you be requiring this any
| further. sir?" she said.
-"Eh?"
"You left It In ModdOm'S room and
thought perhaps you would be
needing it."
A good deal Of Senator Opals ef.
fervescence evaporated. An almost
| automatic and unconscious smoker
he had forgotten that he had beer
halfway through a cigar when he
embarked on that search Of his. A
well-defined feeling OF construction
| in the muscles of his throat caused
/ him to utter a faint sound like the
gurgle of dying duck. You weren't

| Yes. sir"

The Senator cleared his throat
noisily. There were several question,

he said awkwardly.
Midway awaited his condolences
with quiet respect. And yet. the
Senator asked himself as he ga1ed
into 1t, was that eye OF hers quite SC
respectful as he had supposed?
II dareSay," he said, 1t seemed G
little strange to you that should be

~ N seeing Packy. the Senator
halted abruptly. A look OF
concern came into his face.
He had been much worried
of late and worry, he knew,
breeds hallucinations. Then he saw
that this phantasm was holding his
daughters hand and that she ap-
peared to be aware of his presence,
and felt a little reassured. And when
the girl turned to him and said. "Oh.
hello. father Here's Mr.. Franklyn,"
his last doubts disappeared, and
what had been the chill of apprehen-
sion turned into righteous wrath.
"Only." proceeded Jane, as his color
began gradually to deepen and memo
ries Of old hair cuts lit the flame In
the eyes which he was fixing on
Packy. you must remember to call
him the Vicomte de Blissac."
Nothing, as Shakespeare appreciate
ed, is more tedious than a twice-told
tale. but in James demeanor, as
Packy for the second time related the
events which had led up to his being
at the chateau in another's name,
there was no suggestion of boredom.
She stood there with sparkling eyes,
interfering an occasional. Isn't that

Nor was the Senator an Unconditional
audience. As the story drew to its
conclusion, he stood for a while puff
