Nlhatcd. Conn - (UP)--A new winter sports center. which will provide one of the finest ski hills In the country, k being developed here, with the first meet tcnta- uVcly set for early January.
 A hill four miles from Winsted. and on main paved highway has been selected for the ski jump Hackers of the venture say it will be better test fo rthe expert ski men Of this country and Europe than any other jump in the United States. It has maximum lengt n "t 1l38 feet, and 1t will be possl- ble tu jump 2G0 feet in safety. The width is 50 feet at the top and 100 feet at the bottom, assuring both Jumpers and spectators q maxi mum Of safety. The takc-off will be oO feet long.
 An ingenious device for the storing Of snow, so there will be plenty regardless of conditions, has been worked out. The ground directly beneath the take-off has been dug out and the landing slope shOrcd up with boards. Into this recess snow will be dumped and stored. When 1t is needed on the slide it can be shovclcd out.
 Parking space for C.0O0 ears has ben provided near the hill. and a skating rink built for those who wish 10 skate before and after the skiing exhibitions.

KICK
 ON WATERWAYS

? Chicago, Jan 5- CPU)-The board of trustees of the Chicago sanitary district was placed on rec ord today as protesting to the United States senate against ratif- cation of the St Lawrence water ways treaty.
 The resolution opposing ratifca- ton of the treaty was introduced by Ross A. Woodruff and was adopted unanimously.
 The objections were based upon q clause in the treaty with Canada which limits diversion of water from Lake Michigan to 1.5QD cubic second feet. Objectors contended:
 CD Lake Michigan is wholly domestic body of water over which Canada should have no jurisdic- rion. and (2) q diversion of 1,500 cubic second feet at Chicago would not insure sufficient flow for navigation in the Illinois waterway.

Much Of it., agents said, had been sold under false pretenses to legal distributors who in turn sold it to department stores and legal retailers.
 None of the seven diStilleries and nine rectifying plants in the disteict are involved, the revenue department said. Those engaged in the outIawed commerce are for tho most part remnants Of the mo- torious aIky and beer gangs which operated in Chicago during the dry years.
 The gang purchases small quan- titles Of legitimate liquor and cuts this produce three ways or more with raw alcohol and coloring mat ter Little of the alcohol is moon shine. revenue agents said. For the most part the bootleg ring has operated openly, purchasing grain alcohol from surplus stocks of comm ercial distillers.
 Fake Labels Are Used
 The cut whiskey is placed in bot fies with faked labels and stamps, just as in the prohibition years. However, the problem of the boot Iugger has been vastly simpliiied. Revenue agents said due to the fact "blended" whiskey requires no revenue stamps and is retailed for the most part in plain bottles with easily faked labels.
 Distillers. rectifying plants and ,tailers are cooperating with the revenue department in it's efforts to weed out the gangsterS. inc yolumc of the unlawful trade is es- ,imated to be sufficient to provido large incomes for the bootleggers now that necessity for "protcction' Iayments has ceased.

Prices of wooden and worsted yarns are firm and spinncrs still have quite an amount of orders on hand awaiting definite delivery in- Structions.
 Cotton yarns also are dull, but prices are steady, In all lines, spin ncrs arc looking forward to an ! early resumption of activity Stocks in the hand Of manufacturers are parativcly low; in the anticipa- ton of increased buying, several ! lines of staple dry goods arc being , slightly advanced.

 Believing this way, need not add my views of the absur- dity of projects like the COIum-

 "Thc subsistence home projects are equally against the farmers interest. The more of such prof ects are started, the more the domestic market for the profess sional farmer is reduced. They are forming a new peasantry.
 Resentment on Increase
