General Munson, a native of Connecticut and a graduate Of Yale, is the author of ''The Soldiers Foot and the Military Shoe" A head of the Army Shoe board, General Munson, over a pe- riod of several years, studied the needs of the feet and what they required in the line of a shoe for

 G. 0. F. Women Busy
 Aside from this subject, the local republican women also have an other worry facing them that promises to bring them into battle formation with the men of the party. The subject has been made to cut the town committee down from 40 to 20 members. At the present each of the 20 districts here is represented by a man and 6 woman. The new arrangement. it is feared, would result in a loss of ground by the women with the men dominating the committee The Women's Republican Club is expected to oppose this plan viz orously.
 Within the next week or two several district leaders in the g.o.p. ranks are expected to gel together for another secret con. clave. While there is group opposed to Attorney Conway for chairman on the grounds that he has been too inactive, another group is also said to be opposed to ex-AIderman Jaeger. Ex- Mayor W. H.

 Painfully Burned
Lighted Cigarette Believed to Have lgnted Bed COtl'

 Suffering intensely from burns about the body, Mrs Catherine Kunze, 90. of 92 Fairview street. was reported in fair condition at the Waterbury hospital this morn ing. Her name is not yet on the danger list. but the burns are des- cribed as highly dangerous.
 Mrs Kunze was burned when a bed at her home caught fire, pre- sumably from a cigaret. Her hus- band. Frank Kunze. was burned about the hands and arms, but not seriously.
 Bremen were called to the home when a telephone alarm was re- ceived at 4:42 yesterday afternoon. Headquarters and Willow street engine combanies answered the call, while the East Main street truck company also reported.
 Captain William G. Russell and Fireman Jerry Griffin, attached to the fire marshaps office, on hand to investigate, took Mrs Kunze to the Waterbury hospital. The fire was confined to the room in which the bed had been and did not cause a great deal of damage. The prop crty is owned by Benjamin Dams ker.
 The department investigation oi the blaze's origin showed that the woman had been apparently smoking in bed. The bedclothine caught fire and resulted in the severe burns she suffered.
 A false alarm was rung in from box 61 at TAO last night. The box is located at Fuller and Emerald streets.

 These purchases of foreign silver would continue until:

 2. Silver reached a ratio- parity with the gold dollar.
 Silver would be reckoned al $1.29 an ounce in the issue of sil. yer certificates, thereby, as Thom. as explained, creating consid. erable profit for the treasury. FoI instance. of 300,000,00O ounces o1 silver were nationalized and pur. chased by proclamation at 50 cents an ounce the paper profit to the treasury would be the difference between that pric and $1.29 ap. proximately $240,000,000.

|DEPOCITORS GET | $6OO,OOO IN BONDS
Bank Receiver Files Re- port on Commodity in
 in Court To-day

Nearly $6OO.O 900 worth of Home Loan Bonds were turned over to deposltors of the Merchants Trust Co since the receiver for that bank secured permission in superior court to proceed with the move ment. During the period from Jan 1 to April 1 the receiver exchanged S13O.00O worth of the bonds with the depositors according to a re- port filed in court today by the Citizens & Manufacturers National Bank. receiver.
 Prior to this report, however. the receiver submitted a previous report showing over S400, 900 worth of bonds were exchanged. The report filed today shows that altogether there were 476 applica- tions received from depositors but could be filled because of lack of bonds. Attorney Francis T. Reeves counsel for the receiver announced today that the applications for
 bonds were stopped being received on April 1.
 It is interesting to note that the
 bonds are being quoted today at 1905, which is above par. This is l brought about by reason of the house of representatives at Wash
 ington voting to pay the principal
 on the bonds in a big majority vote
 Thursday. The senate already has
 voted likewise.
 The receiver for the Merchants Trust Co was the first banking orr
 ganization in the city and is be-
 lieved to be the first in the state
 to willingly accept the bonds when
 they were first offered on the mar
 ket. The bonds did not carry the
 principal payment clause. but did
 provide for the payment of inter- | est.
 The bonds were first quoted at 83 and then at 85. The receiver for the Merchants Trust Co secured permission in court to accept the bonds in the exchange of mort gages 1t held as assets of the closed bank and then offered the bondS
 to the depositors of the savings de- partment at 85 per cent of the face value of the deposits. For instance | ie a depositor had $100 on deposit
