 Bill Ready For Action
 The revision last night was re- ported by members of the judiciary committee to be in its final form. The changes last night were made after a reconsideration of a draft which had been given so-called final approval Thursday night.
 Unchanged in the present draft of the bill are provisions which al- low the sale of hard liquor by the drink in hotels. restaurants and clubs but forbid the use of bars. Hotels have a license fee of $1.00O and restaurants $750. Taverns are not allowed the sale of hard liquor and can sell only beer. Restaurants which choose to serve beer only will have an annual license fee of $150. Taverns must pay $150 for the right to sell beer.
 Closing Days
 Taverns and cafes must close on Sundays. Good Friday and Christ mas. Package stores and drug stores are forbidden to sell liquor on Sundays, Good Friday and Christmas and election days. Res taurants, hotels and clubs cannot sell liquor on election days, and can sell it only from to g p. m, on Sundays, Good Friday and Christmas. Package store hours are fixed at from ! a. m. to 10 p. m, with drug stores having the same schedule.
 Many amendments to the final draft of the bill are expected to be presented in the senate and the house and observers predict that a measure far different from the present proposal will go to the governor for his signature.
 One group of liquor dealers yes-. terday sent telegrams to all of the state senators. The telegrams read as follows:
 "The proposed changes in the liquor control act as reported by the judiciary committee are out rageously unfair to the tavern per- mittecs. The bill takes into con- alteration neither tho welfare of the citizens of the state nor tho permittees. Tn the name of tho i400 tavern permittees and their 10. .00O dependents we call upon you as representative of the people to either give equal rights to tho tavs erns or else vote against this bill. We have ready . petition contain ing 75.o00 signatures of Connecti- cut voters demanding that tho gov. ofnor veto the bill unleBg tnvorns are given equal rightg."

The Weyerhaeuser family has been a leader in the Pacific northwest numbering industry for years. Last week, J. F. Weyerhaeu- ser, Sr., son Of the founder of the vast lumber empire, died. His son, father of the missing boy, succeeded him in handling the ex- ccutive affairs of the concern. It was believed unofficially that the kidnapers might have been attract ed by the published reports of the fortune the elder sWeyerhaeuser left his son and other members of the family.
 Federal Agents Silent
 Federallagents refused either to confirm or deny that the reported kidnapping had occurred. Hundreds of curious citizens marched past the home through the night. Others waited in newspaper offices and around police stations for word of the missing boy.
 Bruce Bowman, a schoolmate, was the last person known to have seen George. The two left the Lowell school together at the noon recess. George was to have met a sister, Anne Weyerhaeuser, at the Annie Wright seminary six blocks away.
 The family chauffeur was wait ing there to take the children home to lunch.
 Never Reached Seminary
 George never reached the sem mary. Bruce had left him after a walk of several blocks. No one else could be found who remem. bered noticing the schoolboy as he trudged alone toward his des- tination.
 Neighbors reported that a note had been received at the home at 6:00 p. m. Friends of the family were quoted as saying it asked for $500, ,000. It was after the reported receipt of the note that federal agents appeared.
 The Weyerhaeusers have four children. Anne is 12. Philip 10 and Elizabeth two. So far as could be learned they never have received n threatening note nor were their children known to have been in danger oe kidnaEing previously.
 The father returned only yes terday from Rock Island, H., whore ho had attended the burial of his fat'>er.

SALES TAX BILL IN SCRAP HEAP

NSOAASth0Go IA VIII | o0S @sS approved drastic slashes in motor vehicle registration fees for pleas ure and commercial cars.
 Had the sales tax measure passed in original form as it came from the finance committee on rec ommendation fo the special tax study commission, municipalities would have received approximately $6, 6,000.000 and the general fund of the state $2.00o,o00.
 As outlined in the governors special message to the senate We'd -nesday, two alternatives remained to fight or an accumulated deficit of $13.O00,000 at the end of the biennuim--a bond issue or a new move to dip into the highway fund.
 Relief Plans Smashed Death of the sales tax left the state without provisions for aiding relief problems in cities and towns. a situation which the governor feared might deprive the state of its share in the federal relief pro- gram.
 Approval of a tax on insurance premiums and unincorporated bus inesses would realize about $1,350.- 900 year toward general expendi- lures and left the appropriations committee wrestling with the prob- lem of how to slice at least s4.- 100000 from budget requirements.
 The senate-approved cigarette tax of two cents a package, from which 1t was hoped to obtain $1.- 250, ,OOo a year. still awaited house sanction.
 Only nine days remained of the session. Unless Q suitable tax pro- gram Is approved. 1t was feared the governor might insist upon q special session.
 Both houses held their first Sat- urday session today. It was anti cipated the liquor revision bill and a batch of judgeship nominations would be received in the senate. only routine business was expected in the house.

BURGLAR ALARM

A police car raced from head quarters to the Waterbury Savings Bank, and several A. D. T. officers rushed to the building 8 few min- utes before o'clock this morning, when the burglar alarm at the bank sounded.
 But the roaring trip was in vain. The burglar alarm had gone off by accident, probably a short cir- cult in the wiring.

A NDREW S. WING, managing
= editor of The Country Home, in
New York City. asks us how to keep q
dog from running away from home
and being gone three or four days at
time. Lots Of other members Of the
pet gang have sent in the same ques-
tion lately.
1t is one Of the hardest pet ques-
tions to answer. Dogs run away for
a variety Of reasons that depend on
the individual dog. on the dogs
owner, and on his home conditions.
Mr.. Wing says his "old-fashioned
shepherd" Bruce, has the habit of
following the Wing children to school
every morning. 1t seems that in River
side, Conn.,, where the Wings live,
most Of the boys and girls have dogs
and most of the dogs accompany the
boys and girls to the schoolhouse each
day. Then after school starts the
dogs play around and 60 home, or
spend the school hours chasing wood
chucks.
Bruce, however. has made friends
with two little fellows on the other
side of the town. These boys are too
young to 60 to school and they have
great times with Bruce. The dog
likes them so much he will stay at
their house for several days together.
Bruce likes his home at the Wings,
very much, but he likes the two little
boys as well. It seems as if the only
thing to be done Is to impress Bruce
with the fact that it isn't his business

over the spring tension in the cIapper
tongue causes it to snap down against
the hand block, which makes a noise

trotted out on the field, Coach Travers
drew Paul aside and gripped his arm.

but you can give them back their
confidence If you show them you're
sure Of winning. You know how much
this game means to me, and to the
team. and to the school. And I know
how much being in the lineup means
to you. Now go out there and show
them what you have in you"
Paul's eyes were bright. II will.
Coachl" he promised. II won't let you
down."
Paul could hardly believe he wasn't
dreaming as he ran out on the field.
Here was his chance-the chance he
had been waiting for, and thought he
never would get, the chance he had
refused to accept when 1t meant
"squealing" on Gabby.
THE stands were 1ammed. and an
overflow crowd lined the edges OF
the field as the teams lined up for
the opening kickoff. Mindful OF the
coach's instructions, Paul talked 1t up
with a steady stream Of chatter, SLAP

grinning confidently. They caught his
spirit, anc began to forget the absence
Of Gabby Gabriel.
Dorset kicked off, Finlay taking the
ball and returning it to their own 30
yard line After picking up five yards
on two plays, Finlay punted on third
down.
Paul caught the kick on his own
29-yard line. With one swift glance he
sized up the onrushing Finlay for
wards. then dashed toward the side
line. An end lunged for him and
missed. Tommy Plumber, just ahead
of him. dived headlong at two Finlay
tacklers and toppled them both. A
few seconds later. Paul, running as he
had never run before, dashed over the
goal line and dropped. winded. to
the turf.
And that was Just the beginning.
If ever boy played his heart out in
a football game, Paul Shields did that
afternoon. He was in every possible
play, making reckless, vicious tackles
with little regard for his own safety.
He took out men so hard that they
got up Slowly and reluctantly, and
when he carried the ball himself he
was twisting. fighting bundle of
determination that would not be
stopped.
THE whole Dorset team got his
spirit, and Finlay simply found
it had more than it could handle.
Finally, early in the fourth quarter,
Coach Travers took Paul out of the
lineup. He was so exhausted that
he had to be helped from the field,
but he didn't care Dorset was lead

deliriously as he sank to the bench.
