 DICTATORS' YEAR
ROsicrnCians Predict M0n- etary Changes in
 United States

'Because of general recognition that political factions and clash of personalities high in public office constitute an ever increasing hnr- rier to progress of modern society and the development of industry, worldwide public opinion and acc tion in 1895 will favor dictator ships"
 This Is the prediction of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, con- tained in Q brochure entitled "1935 and Surprise," according to Walter J. ,Racicot, the local representative of the AMORC order. The bro- chure continues by saying among its series of annual predictions is- sued by the grand lodge of the philosophic order in San Jose, Cal ifornia, and startling for their accuracy. Further predictions in- cluded in the brochure are thnt Austria will fight for and secure a return to a modified form Of rnon- archy.
 International affairs of Germany will but solidify the support of Hit Ter but also bring an alteration of his objectionable policies. France, 1t Is stated will be further dis fear complex. "A constant display of her evident suspicious will ,af- feet her international good will, resulting in a loss of trade. In the United States, the brochure con- tinues, banking and speculating systems will receive a number of new jolts during 1895, and the present vacillating conditions irs monetary matters will continue for several months. Readjustments In the United States government, il. .isl contended, will bring about ring the next twelve months a series of charges of deceit, fraud, and delib- crate misrepresentation and secret alliances against the highest ofIi- cers of the government. A favor- able note, according to the bro- chure, is that the relationship be- tween the United States and Can- ada will become more assuring and result in an expansion of trade be- tween both countries.

Ever since the open- ing of waterbury's own radio sta- ton, t has been the ambition of Vita Wall 10 bring to the women listeners of WATR the aims and purposes of the various clubs and leagues--up to now, available only to members of these organizations.

Italians "Victims"
 Of Racial Prejudice
Depastino Charges Politicians With Forgetting
 Promises Discrimination in Charity Grants

Reiterating his charges that tho Italian residents of Waterbury, as race are victims of discrimina. ton fia the assignment of political jobs, John DePastino, prominent 3raternal leader of the city, supple mented his statements today with the accusation that Italians arc also suffering from unjust prac- fices'' of the local public welfare department, He predicts that aIiaiIan Politicians" will face plenty of opposition when they have "sold out" their constituents he further intimates.
 Mir DePastino's statement issued today reads as follows:
 "In reply to Inquiries con- corning the political tenden- cies of the Italian American Federation of Societies and clubs, 1t Is safe to say that the federation will not back a po- litical candidate just because he Is of Italian extraction. The present day Italian American voter Is much different than the voter of 20 years ago.
 Tt is a we'll known fact that several present Italian American political job holders or influential politicians have been opposing the uniting of the Italian American societies. Why should they oppose the movement? If they were rep. resenting the Italian American interests they would not op- pose the combining of the Italian American clements.
 Italians have just become to realize that they did not receive their share of con- alteration in the distribution of municipal offices. They also know that they are discrim- mated in many cases in the charity department. The aver age rent that the city will pay Tor an Italian family is $15.00. For certain privileged classes the city pays as high as $3b.00. In many cases the city will not nay. rent until Q sum mary process suit has been commenced, giving this neg lected class q lot of worries &hu causing btcaS uiotiSSo'
 :Conditions have reached a point where something must be done and as long as racial prejudice is being practiced the race must unite for It's self preservation.
 "The time of reckoning will come for some of these fel- lows who have pretendcd to represent the Italian Ameri- can voters. but in fact have represented only themselves by procuring political offices for themselves, their sons and daughters and their relatives. They forgot their constituents and prediction promises.
 "It can not longer safely be said that handful of poli- ticians can control the Italian vote. The Italians in this coun- try now constitute an intelli- gent element. They now can

City Of Waterbury
 May Sell Hospital
Senator Culhane's Bill Would Double State Police
 Force, Increase Number of Barracks
BY WILLIAM J. MORIARTY Especial Legislative RcpOrterl

State Capitol, Hartford, Conn January 22. A possibility that the City of Waterbury might sell its long idle Isolation Hospital on Watertown avenue to the State o! Connecticut for use as a State Po- lice barracks was seen today as veteran legislators examined a bill introduced in the senate at It's opening this morning by Senator George c. Culhane of Waterbury.
 While the bill ostensibly calls for the doubling of the present size of the State Police Department, 1t also would establish ten new police barracks throughout the state, one o fthem to be in Waterbury.
 Tho present size of the State Police Department Is 125 men. Un- der the Culhane bill 1t would be 250 men.
 The measure also calls for the creation of a three-man commis- sion to work in conjunction with the present office of the State Po- lice Commissioner
 AeARt0 4hNA OabO iAA thO AhehAbSA VI automobile accident was cited by doubling the police force.
 While 1t is not definitely estab- lished, in the event of the passage of the Culhane bill and the decis- ion to place a police barracks in Waterbury, that the Isolation Hos- pital would be chosen, local legls- lators would be quick to point out it's desirability for such use.
 The hospital has really never been used as such, save for a few brief periods. Recently 1t was q waiting station for tubercular pa- tients who were on the waiting list at various state sanatoria. As such 1t was conducted by the Water bury Anti-Tuberculosis League for several years. An appropriation was even secured from the state for such purposes few years back. When this was discontinued the local society was forced to cease its activities due to lack of funds. Tho hospital has since been idle.
 The hospital was built during the administration at cost beyond the half million mark. It has long been pointed out as Wa terbury's white elephant.
 Of recent years the upkeep of the institution, which really befit- ted Q city four or five times the size of Waterbury, was the subject of much republican criticism.
 The City of Waterbury made repeated efforts to interest the state of Connecticut in purchasing the structure for Institutional uses, but negotiations always failed, due to the location of the hospital on a main thoroughfare and also on a trolley line. These same facts constitute good selling point in offering the property for use as a state police barracks.

champions, the Yard and as the result went one game ahead of the Rollers, but tonight the Tub CTS meet that dope upsettinE clan from the Rod Mill, who say they'll take two games, well we'll see.
 With the bowling of the 9 o'clock schedule, tonight comes to close, the initial season of this newly formed twelve team league, which has certainly enjoyed most successful season. Bowling on every mans merits. employing no handicap system of any kind this league will go down in the history of Chase Go. Bowling as a credit to the Company and the GO members of this league who each week made it point to be on hand if their team rolled either at 2 o'clock or 9 o'clock. We can safely say that through the 22 weeks, nary q complaint was heard so prompt were the members. And now tonight, this column winds up its chatter which we tried to make enjoyable to read each week. We know that many of the boys of this league regret to see the curtain come down, but to extend the season would mean, bowling till the latter part of May, and this would disinterest the bowlers instead of interest them.
 A plan is in the works to run a "Sweepstake" among the bowlers of this league next Friday night, dividing the bowlers in three class. es, Glass A. and under, Class B 96 and up to 105, Class c, 106 to 115 average. If enough entries come in, to, warrant the locals to run the "Sweepstakes' the follow ing week, then they will do so.
 And at this time we remind the boys the Annual Banquet to be held Saturday March 22nd at the Old Seven Grill, where some 50 or 80 bowlers and their guests will sit down and aprtake a chicken supper and tween courses, tell how they hit them during the past year.
 Before closing we wish to thank Sports writers John Chick" Kel- ley of the American and John Clu- ney of the Democrat for the val uable space they have given this league for the past five months.

GOOD GOLF
 By BiU KiSh
TRAINING FOR GOLF

There is one thing about golf; it does not need any excessive training. You need not reduce your weight, as you must for boxing; and you don't have to be very careful about your wind as for a swim meet. The heavyweight and, the lightweight are even- ly matched on the golf links.
 Golf above all needs the steadiest of nerves and clear eyes. If you are burning the midnight oil over books, or steadying your nerves by inn bibing of "nips," you will find the nerves terribly run down before the 18th tee. In golf our body is put to the sever- est test; and if it has been overworked or abused, it is likely to break down between the tee and the green.
 Nothing finds out sooner and better whether the hu- man machine is in good
 working order than does golf.

Especial to The Dcmocrat)

Meriden, Feb 21--Just one point separated the Princeton A. A. of Watertown from their opponents for the second successive evening, but this time the sturdy cardinal clad hoopsters were on the short end of the count, as Jack Barton's Meriden Endees won the fifth game between the rivals by 32-31 score before two thousand fans at the state armory tonight.
 It was Meriden that dominated the play for three and one-half periods, but the Princetons put on another sizzling comeback that all but sent the game into overtime or gave them a win as Boley and Gair scored with less than a minute to play. Henry Zajac's long-range shooting kept the Endees ahead most Of the time, his four field goals and two free losses being the top score of the game while Bill Oliver, the colored flash was held to a pair of field goals by the Princeton defense. Eddie Stevens. whose 10 points including the win ming hoop against Middletown Speedboys Wednesday night was smothered completely, just one held goal being his best effort. Mat ty Sheehan, Bob Gair and Johnson went well enough nearly overcom- ing a five point edge during the last ten minutes of play. which was by far the most exciting of the game as the Princetons rallied strongly only to lose by that smallest of margins, one point.

JOE M'CARTHYT TO BOSS CLUB SAYS
 JAKE RUPERT
Annual Conference This Week Expected to Set.
 tie Babes Status
,,,X BX LAwToN CARVER


 New York, February 22--(UPl |- Babe Ruth will sign with the Yankees just as soon as he ana Colonel Jacob Ruppert can ret to- gether - barring unforeseen sllp- ups = and after that he will bo just another ball player.
 Manager Joe Mccarthy win run the club and Ruth along with 1t, Colonel Ruppert, owner of the Yankees. said today, answering the Babes statement that if he signed at al lit would be with the under standing that he would play regu- larly.
 T will not assure the Babe ne will play regularly; that is up to Joe Mccarthy" the Conlonel said.
 The guessing contest which cen- tered around where Babe finally would land, has switched now to how he will bear up as a bench jockey, something new to him after more than 20 years in baseball.
 There also is a guessing contest as to what his salary will be. Last season 1t was $35.000. Half that for coming season is the popular pre- diction.
 The Babe is spending a busy few days getting his affairs straight after the four months abroad, but has baseball on his mind. Incident ally, the "big proposition" which he had under consideration upon his return Wednesday has blown up, he said yesterday. Whatever the proposition might have been he never revealed 1t.
 Ruth will go into training next week.
 The Babe didn't bother to open the $1 provisional contract mailed to his home by the club. He said he would go into that when he and the Colonel get together.
