REAL PRACTICE
FOR SPARTANS
OPENS TONIGHT

In preparation for their first
scrimmage. scheduled for tonight,
Cenrars Spartans went through
the stiffeSt workout so far this sea
son on the high school field last
night.
The arrival of fun equipment
gave the boys an opportunity so
indulge in some Snappy live tack
ling in the open field and for near
ly two hours. they gave of their
best. Although the team looked
ragged. Coach w. S. Taylor init
mated. they are putting out every
thing they have in an effort at i'm
and even this early in
the game, appear somewhat formi-
dable. One candidate is such a
husky youth that there were no
pants big enough for him. He halls
from Yuma. and if he develops into
q satisfactory player. viii go far to
bolster the line.
Other players out include several
varsity men from last year whose
experience will aid materially ip
shaping the team.
Squad Serious
The SpartanS are taking their
practice seriously. there being
noticeable absence of much of the
fooling around which often occurs
especially among the more eXper-
fenced players. They have been
given eight plays to date. and while
these plays have not yet been COM
pletely mastered, more practice
with a good deal of stress on tim
ing will undoubtedly bring about
the desired result.
Coach Taylor is continuing his
work on fundamentals of the game
while adding more difficult work
from time to time. In addition to

SAYS MILEAGE
DEPENDS UPON
GOOD DRIVING

Although our 1895 cars are de-
signed to give excellent gasoline
mileage. the actual mileage obtain
ed depends upon where the driving
IS done and how the throttle is
used" says I. K Marshall, general
service manager Of Pontiac Motor
Co
Anyone who mas ever had to
push a car knows that it takes
more energy to start 1t moving
than to keep it in motion. And
what is true Of human beings also
is true of engines. The engine gets
power from gasoline. The more
power required, the more gasoline
It takes.
TO accelerate with a full open
| throttle from a standstill to 80
miles per hour in second gear re-
quires a considerable outlay Of
/ power. At such times the average
! car viii deliver 3.5 to As miles per
gallon Of gasoline.
During su d den acceleration
from 80 to so miles an hour with
| full throttle and in high gear. the
average is from 6 to rs miles per
gallon. Everyone should know that
it takes more energy TO drive a car
with wide open throttle than to
keep it going at a moderate rate
Of speed.
Maximum gasoline mileage is
obtained from any car on long
country drives where there are no
stop lights and when the driving
is done at moderate speed" con-
tinued the Pontiac service manager.
Many Pontiac owners report 20
miles to the gallon of gas on runs
OF this kind II is not to be ex-
pected that high gas mileage will
be obtained driving in dense city
traffic or at top speed in the coun-
Try.
Two drivers can cover the same
stretch Of a mile in which there are
four stop lights and one will get II
miles 10 the gallon and the other
Il using the same automobile. The
IL d IL AfEA =" III GAE away dL L44C
start Of the mile, will get caught at
all four of the lights along the
stretch. and finish without getting
any advantage of the gasoline mile
age obtainable from deceleration.
The second driver, accelerating
more slowly, will watch the timing
Of the stop lights. and taking ad-
vantage of coasting and decelera-
ton, will obtain a much higher gas
oline mileage.
The same thing is true Of oil
mileage, for there is a definite re-
lationship between speed and oil
consumption. Also, motorists why
try 70 increase their oil mileage by
using grades that are heavier than
those recommended by the factory
are making mistake, because
heavier oils actually impair the gas
oline mileage of the car"

City EZRA Grant For
 Current Week $11, ,OOO
Workers to Get IS Hours Employment, Increase of Six
 Over Last Week-C Clerical Staff May Be Abolished

The Waterbury appropriation from the EZRA for the current week is approximately s11,00O, ac- cording to information from state headquarters received today by William M. Harris, local relief ad. ministrator. EZRA workers will be given IS hours of employment this week as the result of the grant, an increase of six hours over the schedule last week.
 Appropriations will be granted weekly by the state commission in. stead of every two weks, as was previously announced. They will probably vary considerably from week to week, with a resultant vac riation in the work schedule. The 12 hour schedule was. made neces- sary last week because of the fact that there were five payrolls in the month.
 While there has been no definite information from WPA headquar- ters, it is expected that the origi- nal plan abolishing entirely the EZRA clerical staff will be fol- lowed in Waterbury as the various projects are transferred to the Works Progress Administration.
 Under the WPA arrangement, the state is divided into three dis tricts with headquarters at Hart ford, New Haven and Bridgeport respectively. Work projects in Wa -terbury will be under the jurisdic- tion of the New Haven district office and it is assumed that most of the clerical work connected with the WPA in this city will be done at New Haven.
 Instead of supplying labor through the EZRA offices, the new plan. when it becomes effective, calls for the employment of all persons through the services of the state employment bureau.
 In Waterbury this means that the project sponsors will be given a list of persons aligible for em- ployment who have registered at the local employment office in the c. l.. D. building on North Main street. Unless job seekers arel isted at this office it will be impossible for them to obtain employment.
 The abolition of the old EZRA system depends upon the speed with which the projects are trans- ferred to the WPA in each commu. nifty and will probably take consid- able time. The smaller towns and cities will undoubtedly be first to fall in line under the WPA because their works projects are relatively few. In Waterbury there are 39, all of which must be es-estimated and submitted to state and national authorities for approval.
 EZRA cuts have also applied to the 23 playground supervisors here, all of whom were given four days instead of five last week, working the extra day voluntarily. It was not known today whether or not the four day schedule would be or- dered for supervisors this week.

Bootleggers' Jinx In New Movement

Hartford papers recorded something more than a social item of interest in the an- nouncement that Attorney Robert L. Sengle had re- turned home from five weeks visit to England, where he attended a conference arr ranged by the leading figures in the so-called Oxford move ment. The conference was attended by delegates from 25 countries, including large rep resentatives from the Scandin- avian countries. It was de- scribed as an International Houseparty conducted by the Oxford Group movement at the Oxford university. Discussions were held on the possibilities of solving international prob- lems through the application of Christian principles.
 Waterbury's interest in Mir. Sengle's new avocation is that he is a former prohibition ad- ministrator of Connecticut as many former local liquor deal- CTS wil well remember. MT. Sengle, an excellent lawyers taught the "boys" around town something new in the art of law enforcement. There were no "pink tea parties" when MT. Sengle came to town and he came often. It was his pet plan to mobilize a force of 30 or 40 federal aegnts, name the "zero" hour and at a sig nal dozen or more raids were staged at the same time. Fol- lowing the raids MT. Sengle would wait here to receive in person complete accounts of the "hits and misses. He staged some of the most spec tacular raids in the city and then to complete his assign meht attended most of the hearings held before the local U. s. commissioner. If the sponsors in the Oxford move- ment get as big a thrdill out of their work as did MT. Sengle as chief liquor cru sader, the hoys here admit that they will have the time of their lives.

Aliens Here 40 Years
 Without Certificates
Surprising Features Develop in Rush for Naturaliza
 ton Papers-Local Factory Orders Responsible

Approximately 150 applications for naturalization papers have been filed at the common pleas court here within the past hours, and it is expected that the number will be swelled to 200 before the week is over. The sudden rush for first pap CTS is believed to be due to the story appearing exclusively in The Democrat Monday in which 1t was reported that local factories had re- ceived notification from the Naval department at Washington that no foreign visitors are to be allowed to enter departments where secret government work is being complet- ed and that no aliens are to be per- mitted to work on any government projects.
 It is understood that factories engaged in government work all over the state have received similar notifications and that they have adopted the same procedure as the Waterbury industrial heads.
 Since the story appeared Monday in these columns, the common pleas court has been rushed trying to handle the applicants. Some of them, court officials say, have been in the country for 30 and 40 years and never had their first papers taken out. A large number in that naitis, assistant clerk of the com classification.

LIQUOR VIOLATOR
 ARRESTED TODAY
River Street Man Second
 Within "A Hours Nabbed By Emergency Squad

The second arrest within 24 hours of Q liquor law violator took place today when members of the local police emergency squad took into custody this morning, Manual Ferria, 32, of 43 River street, and charged him with keeping liquor with intent to sell.
 Ofhcers Fred Hickey and Patrick Moylan made the arrest upon vis- iting the establishment of the &C., cused around 10 o'clock this morn ing. They confiscated about four gallons of illicitly held liquor.
 Last night, the same officers with Patrolmen Patrick Hobart and Err nest Pakul, arrested Joseph King, AS, of 4 River street, and charged him with keeping liquor with in- tent to sell. The officers confiscated nine gallons of alleged "shine."
 The officers entered the first floor of the establishment and saw King coming down stairs. As soon as he spotted the officers he dashed a bottle of liquor he was carrying, against the wall. Officer Hickey's s finger was cut by the flying glass. The officers took King upstairs to the third floor and after searching his rooms discovered the nine gall Ions of liquor. The liquor, the off, cers said, was without the federal tax stamps.
 King was granted a continuance to Aug. 9th, when his case was called before Judge John F. Me. Grath in city court this morning.
 The third arrest took place near noon time today when Officers Hickey and Moyland visited 77 Kingsbury street to place in custody. Carmine Mallanucci, 45, of 134 Ab- bolt avenue.
