 They Know the Routes
 Years of trouping have made most of these nomads of the big tops so familiar with the coun- try's geography that they can look out a car window anytime during day or night and recognize land- marks from which they can ap- proximate their distance from prin- cipal cities.
 The circus advertising car car- ries it's own paste factory which supplies twenty barrels week. It is mixed with water, bluestone and best grade winter-wheat flour. The colossal task of putting up 4S,. 900 sheets of circus advertising ach week requires q ton of tacks, dozens of expensive brushes, 45 magnetic hammers, six sets of 40- foot extension ladders, 15,000 stick |ers and a fleet of four motor trucks which travel from town to town under their own power and meet the advertising car daily for ad- vertising along country routes.
 According to Verne Williams. car manager, a circus advertising car will travel between 15.000 and 20.- 900 miles in an average circus sea- son. Williams has had wide ex- perience in many lines of circus work and has visited Waterbury on numerous occasions.

They include Europe's sensational wild animal trainer Maria Rasputin, daughter of the famous Russian monk; Bert Nell son, youthful daredevil, in single handed encounter with more than a score of jungle-bred lions and tigers: the Christiani troupe oi bareback riders in somersaults from horse to horse: the Merkels who walk upside down on mirrors in the lofty reaches of the big tent; Maxine.

 No Attempts at Release
 George Davis. of Mooney's counsel, said no attempt would be made to have Mooney released to attend the first hearing. But will certainly shall insist that he will be present when the actual evil dence and arguments are given"
 "The supreme court ruling on hearoing arguments was a notable victory for Mooney. The order is a notice that the court accepts Jurisdiction in the case whereas formerly it held that because of limitations in the law regarding proof of perjury brought forward after a defendant is sentenced it was unable to offer any remedy to the prisoner"

 The plea for the writ is based on the allegations that Mooney was convicted on perjury evidence oi the murder of one of the 10 per. sons who died in the bombing.

 It was reported that consultation with France would continue. Reports from Paris were that France was angered at the agree ment and would not consent to 1t unless 1t were part of general arms and peace agreement. France Dissatisfied France, 1t was understood, feels Britain had no right to reach a separate agreement-even if 1t can ot be binding until other naval powers approve 1t. France is be- lieved to have revealed the feeling that any British-G German. agree ment would prejudice general arms talks and that In agreeing to a German 35 per cent fleet, Britain violated the recent agreement at Stresa. In that agreement, Britain, Italy and France said they would work together.
 The Italian note was described as shcrt and non-committal, re- serving opinion but expressing willingness to discuss 1t.
 German Admit It
 official German quarters con frmed that Joachim Von Ribben- trop, representing Germany, and Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secre- tary, initialled the agreement at the foreign office this morning. II was hoped to obtain final signature before the German delegation leaves at the end of the. week. Technical details still were un- der negotiation. They mainly concern adaptation of the agree ment tc existing treaties, such sa the Washington and London pacts. It was learned the Germans agreed to refrain from pressing Britain to proceed immediately with negotiations for an air pact. The British have made it clear that al aerial accord cannot be reached between two parties only. She will continue negotiation with France. Italy. Belgium and Germany si- simultaneously.
 France Displeased Paris, June P)-France's displeasure at British German naval negotiations was expressed in plain terms in a note delivered to the British embassy yesterday. 1t was reported today.
 The note replied to a British missive informing the government of the progress of British-G talks which resulted in an informal agreement that Germany should have a war fleet 35 per cent as strong as Britain's.
 Frances reply is said to be ale most sharp in It's terms. By impil- cation it Is reported to blame Brit. aIn for conducting negotiations separately and to announce that France must reserve full liberty Tor naval construction if Ger. maEy's fleet is to DC on a 35-iO0 ratio with the British one.

New Federal Relief
 Law Causes Changes
Work Projects Limiting Workers to SLIGO Per Man
 Affects Many Municipalities But Not Waterbury

oughout Connecticut, the situation in Waterbury will not materially be affected, according to William M. Harris. local EZRA adminis- trator.
 The regulation will mean simply that the same type of work relief project followed here in the past will be continued. In order that the greater part of the relief alot- ments may be used for the pri- mary purpose of providing em- ployment, it has been decreed that the cast of materials be as small as possible part of the entire ex- penditure.
 This stipulation will automatical- ly nullify large scale building pro- grams and construction projects which call for huge expenditures for materials and machinery.
 storm sewers projects such as are now in progress here and other similar developments will probably be favored by the new works pro- gress administration as the ideal type of projects involving the least expenditure for incidentals, other than actual labor. Under a recent edict of the state emergency rec lief commission, municipalities are permitted to spend 10 per cent of the monthly allowance for mater ials. Pending the establishment of the new works progress adminis- tration, headed by Senator Matt hew A. Daly of New Haven, this policy will probably be continued.
 Announcement of the new limi- tations today is also believed to have spiked the proposed state building program under which ad. ditions or Improvements would have been made to four state in- situtions, and q veterans home constructed at Rocky Hill.
