thing. If he's armed, hell fire first. Take the Bridgeport case, for example. Officer Walker was so close to the killer that when the latter fired, the policeman was burned with powder from the explosion. Sergeant Kearney was also only a few feet away. But the policemen couldn't have their guns out; they were at the mercy of this armed man."
 "T1he crime was a petty one with a couple of cheap radios as the loot. Yet at least one of the two burglars was armed and didn't hesitate to fire first. And the policeman can't shoot first, or the whole department will be attacked from a dozen different direc- tiOns. A night policeman never knows what he's going against next; he has to be certain before he dares to shoot; all that the criminal has to do is shoot and run."

Federal Authorities in New Haven Give Sanction To- day-Arthur L. Purinton to Be Director -- State
 Educational Share to Cover Part of Expenses

A Community college for Wa terbury to be located at the Cen tral Y. M. c. A. and employing Is teachers has been definitely ap- proved by federal authorities 1t was announced to-day at state headquarters of the WPA in New Haven. Dr. Milton c. Cummings, educational director of the WPA, will supervise the establishment of the school here and in several other cities of the state and while no appointments were announced at New Haven, 1t is reliably re- ported that Arthur L. Purinton, will be director of the college.
 According to WPA headquarters, the college will be established here October and will enroll about 300 young people interested in regu- lar college courses. Expenses will be defrayed by a portion of the $1,5O0,000 educational allocation slated for Connecticut. Pending final approval of this allotment by the federal government, state WPA officials have been authorized to begin the organization of the col lege program immediately, using an unexpended balance on hand from the old Emergency Education program. The latter program was sponsored last year as an EZRA project and this city's portion was used for educational classes with headquarters at Crosby high school.

'Thc policeman who ar-. rives to investigate the actiyi- ties of any suspicious person hasn't got . chance for his life if the criminal is armed" declared Supt. Joseph H. Mclean today when inter- viewed by reporters in connec- tion with the double murder of Sergeant Thomas Kearncy and Patrolman Wilfred Walker of Bridgeport by two men caught in the act of burglarizing a Park City store.
 "When an officer comes upon anyone acting suspic- iOusly,' the superintendent said, "he can't take the law in his own hands. He has to be very sure that he's dealing with a dangerous criminal be. fore he can even draw his gun. If he should by any chance draw his gun before asking questions, there would be a terrific howl of protest"

Employees Awaiting
 Federal Allotment
Pay-ROII Due Monday for Local EZRA Staff-24-FiOur Week Schedule Observed; WPA Transfers Expected

With a payroll due next Monday for more than $50 employees of the FERA in Waterbury no informa- tion has yet been received from state headquarters in regard to the weekly allotment for the city as far as could be learned today.
 Notice of the amount of the allo- cation is usually forwarded early in the week in order that the work schedule may be made up. On the assumption that the notice will be received here before Monday, the usual "A hour per week schedule has been ordered. What procedure will be followed if the appropria- ,tion is reduced could not be deter mined in the absence from the city today of William M. Harris, EZRA 
 Appropriation
 For the past month, the appro- priation has amounted to slightly more than $11,OOO each week. MT. Harris received assurance early in September that this appropriation would be continued throughout the month and 1t had been expected that a similar policy would be fol- lowed during October.
 . Reductions in the grant, EZRA officials had been assured, would be comm ensurate with the transfer of workers from the FEIeA to the new works progress administration. The first of these transfers affecting Waterbury were supposed to have been made yesterday according to reports from New Haven. They in- volved the assignment of 60 EZRA workers to school repair jobs. MT. Harris said yesterday morning, however, that no request for the transfer had been received.

And now began a scene the like of

Back in the woods oil flares burned

SEPARATE SKIRTS
FOR SPRING WEAR

Since separate skirts are so neces-
sary a part Of the spring wardrobe
and since tweed ones are highly ap-
proved, it would seem an economy
measure to start with a tweed suit.
Jackets are no longer welded to one
skirt, and skirts may step out with
any number of jackets, blouses and
sweaters, so there is no end to the
possibilities.
Outside Of the practical feature Of
skirt and jacket going its own way,
there is the practical detail of the
cape being detachable, and therefore
ready for a career of it's own. The
objection to a capped jacket on the
score that one might tire of the cape
is also overcome.

MORE LIGHT ON
PRIMITIVE MAN
Evidence That Use of Fire
Goes Far Back.

A Picking man, who lived at least
million years ago, knew how to
make fire and used stone implements
These discoveries have been reported
to the Chinese Geological society
after four years search.
The Picking man is the oldest men,
Der of the human race of which any
thing Is known. yet these discoveries
prove that even he must have had a
definitely human ancestor. Prof. G.
Elliot Smith, the British anthropolo-
gist. who went to China at the invi-
tation of the Chinese Geological sur
vey to make an Independent report
on the Picking skull, has now received
in London full reports of these new
discoveries.
Most thrilling news Of absolutely
first rate Importance" was how he
described them to a Press association
reporter. I'm spite of most careful
search in the cave of Chou Kou Tien,
where the remains of the Picking man
were found. no trace whatever of I'M
plements of any sort had been found
hitherto. Now, however, the careful
work of Mr.. w. G. Pei, the Chinese
geologist in charge of the excavation
Of Chou Kou Tien. has been, reward
ed by the discovery of large selec-
ton of stone implements, which have
been Clipped with great skill, thus
emphasizing the fact that the human
qualities of appreciation of form and
skill in manipulation found express
sion in the making of excellent tools
by this, archaic man.
"What is. perhaps, even more In
teresting is the discovery by Mr.. Pei
of the evidence that these very an
cient and primitive people had used
fire, an inference which has been
confirmed on the spot by the observa-
tons of the Able Breuil, the French
paleontologist.
Hitherto there has been no evil
dence of the use of fire by human be-
ings earlier than the Acheulean.
period in Europe. and even that is
questionable. Hence the discovery of
definite evidence that the Peking
man used fire puts back the history
of firemaking to period more than
twice as remote as that which hith-
erto had been assumed.
"These two facts are of the utmost
interest and Importance, not merely
because they show that the most
primitive member of the human fam
lily so far discovered was already
putting his distinctively human pow
er to his service, but also because it

A team came creaking up from the
siding, it's sled laden with steel rails,

tools.
Back to the decks In the woods went
the locomotive; down Ii came again,
bearing more logs. These were let
down to pile which rose almost to the

higher nearly half the work would be
finished.

fish plates clattered; wrenches set nuts
and spikes put the rail secure on ties.
So when the locomotive, leaking
steam from it's old joints, Ium-
bered down with its next burden, the
loader was set out on this length of
new track and began the task of filling

boleros, lapels on spring coats and suits
are made of channels. Other jaunty
items include handstitched chamois
scarfs, belts, berets, slip-on gloves and
roomy bags with contrast stitching.
You can see from the illustration that
the new leather jackets are-well, they
are just too good looking for words,
that's what they are. For early spring
these costumes which top a checked
wool skirt with gay colored suede
jacket are not only ideal to wear but
they have that out-of-the-ordinary look
and being different" they offer well
come diversion from the regulation
cloth tailleur. What's more, they are
as outstandingly modish for town and
travel as they are practical for country
and sports wear.
The gay colors of the new suede Jack
cts delight the eye. The simple model
on the standing figure is in a mosaic
rust shade. Its sash-belt and turn over
collar are chic features.
The modish sportswoman seated in
the foreground is wearing one of the
very new jackets that are styled with
knit sleeves and collar. You can have
it in any smart colors such as Robin
hood red, rust, green or in the much
talked-of amber. OF course the checked
wooden skirt must carry correspond
ing colors. A Tyrolean suede hat, pig
skin gloves and calf oxfords complete
this smart outfit.
The wonderfully attractive jacket on
the figure seated to the right is most
happily tuned to colorful spring. 1t
goes in for zigzag red, white and blue
stitching, which is chic move on it's
part, since the emphasis this season
is so decidedly on fancy and lavish
stitching.
