 "These ancient Kodiak Islanders were remarkable craftsmen in stone and bone. They worked with primitive tools, yet did some extremely good carv- ing. Among the articles found this summer were some arrowheads of a hith- erto unknown type. The point of the arrow, of wood, slate or bone, was fitted del icately into a holder which could be recovered from the carcass of the slain ani- nal.

Another of those myster- ious false alarms from the railroad and D Street late yesterday brought the fire department on the run to that point. Needless to say there was no one present there and no indications of a fire anywhere in the vic inity.
 This is the second false alarm to be register from this point in the last two months, despite efforts of city officials to bring to an end such practice.

Weather Today
(by US. Weather Bureau)

A deep centered low barometric pressure area is charted on this mornings map about 100 miles south of Kodiak Island. This con- dition has resulted in heavy precipitation in southeast ern Alaska and snow fur ries at Fairbanks.
 Generally fair weather obtains in western and northern Alaska. Moderate temperatures continue in southeastern Alaska and southward.
 The lowest temperature at Nome last night was l2,5 below zero at 3:20 A. M. Under the existing pressure conditions it is quite likely fair weather will continue at Nome for the next 36 hrs while temperature changes will be unimportant.
 Airway conditions at 2 A. M. were:
 Nome clear 8

CLOSED BANKS END.
DIVIDENDS FOR '35|
Chevy Chase Savings Ex'
pected to Pay Depositors
700oo Next Year.

No more dividends are in sight
before Christmas for the thousands
of depositors of 10 closed Washington
banks, 1t was learned from o survey
of the situation today, but some Of
these institutions, 1t was understood,
are hoping to pay out more funds
early next year.
Although only one bank has paid
100 per cent-the Woodbridge -Langdon
Savings and Commercial Bank, In the
northeast section-it was. learned
today that the Chevy Chase Savings
Bank is virtually certain to be the
second institution to pay its depos-
isors in full, for the face value Of
their deposits.
THE Chevy Chase Savings Bank.
which was closed along with IL others
about the time of the Presidents
Bank holiday. has paid dividends al
ready amounting to 80 per cent, since
Is was bought by Riggs National
Bank. 1t Is now operating as branch
OF Riggs. Stockholders of the Chevy
Chase Savings Bank have not been
assessed, and the recetvership has been
administered, SO that, with the in
crease in the value of the remaining
assets Of the old institution, and the
present prospects, it is considered
very likely that another 20 per cent
dividend may be paid In the Spring.
The Woodbridge Langdon Bank,
Which became a part Of the new
Hamilton National Bank, Is the only
one so far to pay 100 per cent to de-
poSitors. 1t paid so per cent when the
Hamilton Bank opened In September,
1888, and a second dividend of so per
cent this month. This second dividend
still is being paid to depositors who
have not yet received their checks.
;, The largest closed bank, Federal
American National Bank & Trust
Co, which had more than $4,000, 900
in assets when it was closed during the
bank holiday in 1888, and more than
5000, 900 in unsecured deposits, has
paid so far so per cent, but may be in
b position next year 10 pay another
dividend. If and when pending htiga-
tion brought by some stockholders to

resist a stock assessment Is finally SET
tied.
Other stockholders have paid in
already around 100000 on the
assessment Of 100 per cent against
their stock. This has increased ap-
preciably the assets Of the receiver
ship. The Federal-American, how
ever. has paid of only about half
Of its total debt of more than $2,-
100000 to the Reconstruction Finance
CORP.
Amount Of the next dividend from
the Federal-American cannot be fixed
now, nor can the time for payment
be decided, on account Of pending
litigation. There have been unondcial
estimates, however, that the next
dividend might be around is per cent
Of original deposits.
The Commercial National, next
largest closed bank. has paid total
Of so per cent.
The claim is made In the court that
these defendants are not entitled un-
der law to full 100 per cent payment
on their deposits. but should take
place along with other unsecured de-
positors.
Funds Of the District National
Bank, which has paid so per cent.
also are tied up in litigation More
dividends will be forthcoming even
tually from this bank, but when, or
how much, cannot be learned at this
time.
Condition Of II Of the 10 closed
banks in the District Is shown in the

attached table, figures for which were
taken from the last quarterly reports
of the receivers to the controller OF
the currency.
The Woodridge-Langdon has begun
payment of its second SO per cent,
since the figures Of the last quarterly
report, and is shown in the table both
with the so and 100 per cent figures.

no reports are filed with the Treas
ury Department In regard to the
liquidation of their assets. These two
banks were taken over into what ID
now the City Bank, and their remain
ing assets are In the hands Of two
different 'liquidating trusts"

Opinion Not Shared

The opinion of Mayor Frank Hayes as
voiced by opposition newspapers in TINS
city is not shared throughout the state by
the republican press. In good many cir
cles, republican as we'll as democratic, ne
is held in high esteem. His ability as a
vote-getter is respected. His political
career is watched and commented on as
one which is calculated to bring even more
results than those already accomplished.
We say all this merely as lead to quo
tation from cop. journal.
Mr.. Alexander Henry in Publisher Will
liam A. Hendricks Connecticut State
Journal sums up a neat situation under
the title - Democratic Leaders Snub
Party's Chances The Journal is the same
periodical that Governor Wilbur L. Cross
lambasted last fall during the state cam
paign, because it was lambasting him. The
governor, among other things, pointed out
that purely cop. propaganda paper mad
no business parading under the title OF
estate Journal. The governors victory
was salve to the stings of the Journal.
And yet another potion OF salve was
used this spring when the governor named
Bridgeport democrat to succeed Pub
Usher Hendrick on the State Board of
Finance and Control. The matter is now
in process of litigation, inasmuch as Mr.
Hendrick finally decided not to sell his
commission without a fight. But that
does not concern the alleged "snubs' or
the democratic leaders" who are perpe-
trating them in this state of ours, now
enjoying the third successive term of a
democratic governor, long considered an
impossible feat, like trisecting the triangle.
Says Mr.. Henry, about the only one
who escapes the general blast Of dissat-
isfied but yet victorious party is Lieuten-
ant Governor Frank Hayes of Waterbury.
Hayes can have about anything he wants
from the gang (where, oh where, have we
heard this expression before), who can de-
liver it, if he will only say the word. Ma
tional committeeman is his if he will only
nod his head. The boys still have confl
dence in Frank and he can take Archie
McNeil's job next spring just as that
1O0-to-one shot of his took Bowie last year.
"Dave Fitzerald, too, has a place in the
boys hearts, but they all say he is too
busy to play much in politics. However,
he is looked upon as one Of the real strong
individuals in the Democratic ranks. If
he would only warm up little and let the
boys see him now and then, he could with
the aid of Hayes and one or two others
boss the State. :"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-06

time and opportunity he could find this
out to his own personal satisfaction. But
we wonder II the average motorist really
does complain shout such bad features as
the above.
There may be faults with our highways,
but relatively speaking they are the same
faults that could be found with highways
in every state, even those adjoining ones
which have been held up as models of
highway perfection. And Connecticut is
certainly replacing these old-fashioned
roads with the more modern ones as the
funds permit. That's point that Com
missioner Macdonald regards as serious.
Lack of funds handicaps him. He calls
diversion of funds from his department a
serious impairment.
That's true also and in the past we have
argued against any such policy as permits
using funds raised by taxing motor vehi-
cles for other purposes. But maintenance
of the state police department, which
Commissioner Macdonald calls diversion,
certainly isn't serious breach of ETH
quette After all one Of the primary duties
of this department is patrol of the state
roads and hence it's maintenance might
properly come from use of the highways.
For other disassocIated purposes highway
funds should not be used. Grave emer-
gencies might cause change in policy,
but only such as that. In the meantime
caution should be exercised by those mo"
florists who are using our unsafe highways.

Autos In High School

A number of public high schools in New
Hampshire have been experimenting with
a course in automobiles and driving.
Classes are open to boys and girls alike,
and all of them, so far, have shown them
selves apt pupils. The materials used are
furnished by the state and by insurance
companies. Students are introduced
to the subject by movin pictures
of the automobile industry, of road con-
ditions and of accidents. All phases of
driving are discussed.
Practical talks are given by police, court
officials, garage men, judges and physi-
clans. The garage men, using pictures,
describe important parts of car and tell
how to recognize promptly trouble in any
part and what to do about it. Police dis
cuss traffic and safety problems. The
court representatives take up the legal
aspects of poor driving. The doctors dis
cuss the effects of liquor on drivers.
The purpose of the course, explains one
of the instructors, is to teach intelligent
driving. Intelligence at every auto wheel
would mean a tremendous increase in
safety on the nations streets and high
ways.

Happy Landing

When Roscoe Turner was forced out OF
the Thompson Trophy Race by trouble in
the engine of his fast golden bullet, wall
of disappointment and sympathy arose
from the thousands of spectators at the
National Air Races. On the next-to-the-
last lap Turner's plane was far in the
lead, seven miles ahead of the next racer,
He appeared to be the sure winner. Sud-
denly something blew up, dense smoke
poured from his motor, and he zoomed
high up into the air, out of the racing
course, in order to make safe dead
stick landing
though lucky' consoling people said to
him as the weary but smiling man was
brought up to the announcer's platform.
But Roscoe Turner, knowing the POSSIBLE
tiles of his mishap and perhaps recalling
Douglas Davis who lost his life in last
years race when his plane crashed,
grinned and said: what do you mean
tough? When you can come down on the
ground and walk away, that's good luck.
I'm lucky as hell"
It isn't always a simple matter to dis
tinguish between tough luck and good
luck, but racing flyer who lives to fly
another race certainly has something to be
thankful for.

We Have To Take 1t Back

Despite all our protests about the crit
icism of Connecticut roadways it seems
there is something wrong with them and
they do offer hazards which are probably
to blame for fair proportion of accidents.
In the last few weeks several officials, not
state, have declared that Connecticut was
too backward in highway construction.
We naturally sprang to the defense of our
roads, which we still say can be favorably
compared with those of adjoining states.
But Wednesday Highway Commissioner
John A. Macdonald himself said 40 per
cent of our highways 'offer major driv-
ing hazards
He would be our last court of appeal in
any question over the efficiency Of Con-
necticut roads and if ne says they are at
fault, then certainly they must be. He
points out obvious faults with number
of roads such as being narrow and rough,
too many grade crossings, curves, etc. No
doubt this is true and if motorist had the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-06

This ought to get a rise out of the Mer-
iden journal. It commented recently
about the fact that no mayor of that city
had ever been able to break the jinx on
four terms. There have been three term
mayors in few instances and plenty who
served two terms of two years, but to date
no one has been able to persuade Meriden
voters that a mayor is good enough to
serve four or even five terms The COM
ment was occasioned by the fact that a
former mayor, D. J. Donovan, is being
considered as candidate. He has already
seen three terms in the office, some years
back. Over here in Waterbury it's not
too unusual for mayor to serve three
terms. Ex-Mayor Frank Guilfoile was
elected four times; Mayor Hayes has been
elected three times and seems slated for
fourth one at this writing. Start on us
now, Meriden.

]. Nicholas DAM, retiring president OF
the State Federation of Labor, at the re-
cent convention called on labor to do
something that it has steadfastly refused
to do ever since its organization in this
state so years ago. He wants labor
party in politics. In fact, Mr.. Danz tried
to put the Federation in politics last fall
during the state election. He only sue
ceeded, though, in arousing the wrath of
other labor chieftains. His efforts in be-
half of the republican ticket failed of their
accomplishment. And if he couldn't put
