the past because of the existence of the Mutual Aid as a private relief agency, will be even worse off now that the local system is to be dis- continued. After December 1, the new deadline for the discontinuance of the EZRA, there will be no more federal relief grants for direct re- lief of any kind. Direct relief, na- tional authorities have decreed, is now the function of state and local governments.
 There is nothing in the federal so- cial security act providing for these persons, in spite of the fact that this law, effective January 1, is said to have been the deciding factor in the movement to abolish the Mutual Aid system in Waterbury.

 Those voting for question would take arms "only in which United States territory has been in- vaded." Checks on question s -- refusal to bear arms in any war which the United States govern ment may declare-are said to be few in number.

BANQUET OPENS
 CAMPAIGN HERE
Scout Drive Workers to Meet for Instructions
 Monday Night

During the past 12 months 606 men and women from Waterbury and surrounding communities have given their leadership to Boy and Girl Scout activities without com- pensation, according to information released from campaign hearquar- ters at the Brown building today. The annual drive for funds for the combined budgets of the two coun- cils will begin Monday night with a dinner at the Elton.
 A part of the budget goes to the training of such volunteer leader ship, to the end that 1t may be equipped to bring scouting to boys and girls.
 In the areas covered by the Wa terbury councils, there are 30,000 boys and girls in age eligible to receive the benefits of the Scouting program. On October 18th 9l6 boys and 898 girls were on scout rolls, During the last 12 months 1,206 boys and approximately 1000 girls were contracted by the program.
 The Boy Scout movement aims to reach one out of every four of the 12 year old boys in the aera. Eventually 1t hopes to develop Q four-year scout trained man as one out of every four new citizens.
 The Girl Scout movement. sub- scribing to similar details of na- tional force, is dealing with those who will mother the next genera ton. Along the way of scouting, council authorities hold, lies the way to c better citizenry. composed of men and women who have learn ed as Scouts to keep themselves physically strong, mentally awake, and morally right"

IN KIDNAPPING

HAVANA, April II G.N.SO.
At least 20 persons, police said to-
day, are under arrest in connect
ion with the kidnapping of Eutimo
Falla Gutierrez Y Bonet, who was
released upon payment of $780,
900 ransom.
One, woman, was taken into
custody for allegedly attempting
to change 5000 in ransom bills at
a branch of a New York bank.
Gutierrez fled to the United
States after his release, and other
members of his family are under
close police protection.
Authorities were investigating
the theory put forth by the news
paper Avanche, which said the
kidnapping was the work of the
young Cubs" political organiza-
ton, headed by DR.. Antonio Cutie
ras, a former minister of the in
terror.
The crime occurred Wednesday
night when Gutierrez was cap
tured by a group of armed men
in automobiles. The ransom was
paid in United States 800 bills,
and the victim, having parted
with what is considered a record
payment, hurried to a secret point
on the American mainland.
Police today were questioning
officers of the Nova Scotia bank
as to why they allegedly changed
three bills before they warned
police.

BIC CAMP SITE
READY IN 1885

Camping facilities on the Chap
awamsic recreation project are ex-
pected to be available to residents
of the District of Columbia in
1886, C. Marshall Finnan, Ma
tional Parks chief, told the recrea-
ton committee of the Council
of Social Agencies at the Y. w.
C. A., Seventeenth and K Streets
Northwest.
More than 1880 acres of land
has been acquired at the Marine
base near Quantico, Mr.. Finnan
said. CCC camps will be estab.
lished first. he stated, and these
later will be turned over to the
national parks for public use.
Until that time, according to
the park head, Fort Foote, Camp
Good Will, and perhaps some
other Government land near
Great Falls will be ready for use
again this year. Fort Hunt is not
available this year because it is
now quartering a CCC unit, Mr..
Finnan said.
The committee voted unani-
mously to indorse the Presidents

Silver Price Expected

silver reserves to a proportion Of

as required by the statute in the
establishment of monetary re-
serves.
Under the law the Treasury
could boost silver prices to $1.29
per ounce.
Most experts doubted whether
the new action constituted an in
flationary tendency. Attention
was called to frequent statements
of high officials that no initiation
of currency is planned.
Treasury stocks of silver April
8 totalled $915,613,902.
The Government needs total
of 1856, $50, 96o to meet the terms
of the law which provide that
there should be one part of silver
for three parts of gold in the mon
etary reserves. In other words
the Treasury still needs $1,750,.

News of President Roosevelt's
action in raising the price Of silver
from 64.4636 cents to II cents
per ounce was greeted here to-
day as a definite boon to Colo
RADIO industry.
The higher price will mean a
bonus of $228,795 a year to Colo
RADIO on the basis of present pro-
duction. An additional 100000
ounces also will be mined as a
result of the price boost. mining
experts estimated.

This panecea for unemploy-

by Representative Hoffman (RO
Of Michigan, but the chamber
wouldn't bite on it:
"Buy fishing tackle for all
the boys Of the country to re-
ieve unemployment"
The boys would have to get
thei. own worms, under the pro-
posal. but Uncle Sam would
give each one of them quar-.
ter pole, 10 cents worth of

Then Representative Ekwall

ton which boomeranged back
to him. He asked if it were

"Maybe that is why they

Making public an executive
order of President Roosevelt, Sec
rotary of the Treasury Morgen-
THAI disclosed that the seigniorage,
or profit on silver purchases,

Action was taken after a series
of conferences between the Pres

Aid to U. S. Miners
Questioned today as to why the
Government fixed an arbitrary
price of about 70 cents an ounce
for silver, instead of buying at the
market price Secretary Morgan
thau said:
"The American mining inter.
ests are entitled to this diff.
ference"
Also it was explained that in
the case of the market price the
President would have been re-
quired to issue an executive pro-
clamation every night to fix the
price at which silver would be
produced.
Officials expressed the belief
that the new price would stimu-
late domestic production.
World Price Rising
The move resulted, it appeared,
because of the gradual increase
in the world price of silver from
about AZ cents an ounce in De-
cember, 1888, to .641s cents just
before the new executive order
was promulgated.
Some observers believe the Ad-
ministration's action was aimed

The silver bloc has insisted that
the Treasury's buying price of
silver be above the world price.
This would be beneficial to the
silver States, including Montana,
Nevada, Utah, Arizona and others.
When the Treasury fixed the
6412 cent price the world level
began a rapid increase and yes

proximately that being paid by

doubtedly will stimulate a further

this figure continues to rise it
will be necessary for the Treasury

tried to do away with the relief
Jobs given over to research work.
She declared:
"a great number Of white

outlines plans for helping young
people, Mrs. Roosevelt said:
Il feel very strongly that we
must do as much for girls as
we do for boys, in proportion,
Of course, to the number unem-
ployed. Camps for unemployed
girls present difficult problem,
but they should be considered.
Mrs. Roosevelt, questioned about

best possible care, although she
has not made study of the Spe.

COWS are established institu.

tons,
They have lineage, family crests,
their ancestral trails are longer
than history.
Archaeologists found a picture
of a cow on the side of a cave
in the Pyrenees.
They figured the drawing was
10000 years old.
Citizens of Babylon looked up
to the COW. Five thousand
years ago they adorned a
frieze with her image.
Hindu folklore is rich in praise
of the COW. The "sacred COW"
has come down to our times
as a symbol of veneration.
Every newspaper man who
values his head must know
the citizens in that category.
The cow exemplifies the broad
ening effect of travel.
Five hundred years ago there
were none on this continent.
They were an old Spanish Gus
tom. DeSoto and Coronado
sponsored their introduction
to the first families of the
Mississippi valley and the
Rio Grande country.
The COW was news at jamestown in
1911, at Plymouth Rock in 1924.
By 1850 the COW had caught on.
New England was exporting butter
and cheese.
It used to be said that every COW had
her fling, as every dog had his day.
There was the COW that jumped
over the moon, and there was Mrs.
OLeary's cow that got blamed for
setting fire to Chicago-reason
enough for the proverb that all's
not milk that comes from q COW.
The modern cows, 00o, 900 of her
in the United States-has settled
down to business-and q big and
vital business it is, providing milk
every day for 126, 000, 900 people.
