BUS SERVICE. PLEA
SIGNED BY 5000
Delegation to Ask Utilities
Body for Eighteenth
Street Schedule.

A petition signed by 5000 persons
requesting bus service on Eighteenth
street will be submitted to the Dis
trict Commissioners and the Public
Utilities Commission this week by
delegation headed by Attorney w.
Gwynn Gardiner.
The petition was circulated in the
vicinity of Eighteenth street and Co
lumbia road by Ernest l.. Stewart,
president of the Northwest Business
Mems Association. and a committee
section.
Serious Traffic Problem.
Pointing out that increased bus
traffic on Connecticut avenue follow
ing the abandonment of street car
service there has created serious traf-
fic problems on the avenue. the pc
tition urges the Commission to route
some of the busses across the new
Calvert street bridge and down Eigh-
teenth street.
The use of Eighteenth street as a
bypass, it was stated, not only would
reliev avenue congestion but would
supply badly needed transportation
facilities on Eighteenth street. Cit
ing the relatively narrow Taft bridge,
with the parkways at the southern
end, as one traffic hazard, the pc
tition calls attention to the fact that
the new bridge is much wider and
better able to accommodate the large
buses.
Former Car Line Route.
The street cars formerly ran to
Eighteenth street and Columbia road,
where passengers could transfer to
other cars going out upper Connecti-
cut avenue. This led to the deevlop-
ment of the business district at the
transfer point. which has suffered
heavily since the uptown car serv.e-
was abandoned. Stewart said his
group also has received numerous
complaints from residents on Con-
necticut avenue who formerly shopped
in the district, but have stopped do
ing so because they must transfer
twice to get there under the present
arrangement.
The petitions will be turned over to
the District officials Wednesday or
Thursday. Accompanying Gardiner
will be a group of business men from
the Eighteenth street and Columbia
road section. who contend there is
no reason why some Of the busses
should not be routed through their
district.

Third Continuance
 Given Woman To-day
Mrs Heyen Sabacinsi Has Former Charges Against
 Her Dropped and Additional Ones Added
Rang Teh of SIanchukuo

Naugatuck, April 5 - The case of Mrs Helen Sabacinski was con- tinued for the third time in bor- ough court today, this time until Saturday, April 13. The charge of breach of peace against her was dropped and charges of obtaining money under false pretences and of forgery were added to the orig inal warrant.
 The feature of the case was the announcement by Prosecuting Att torney Martin Caine that a New York policeman had the opportun- ity to catch Sergei Nikitko, who with Mrs Sabacinski is said to have taken $1,00G from a joint account held by him and his wife, Jose phine, the complainant, and missed the opportunity.
 Attorney Caine told the court Mrs Nikitko saw her husband in the vicinity of their home in New York city on Wednesday, the day after the alleged forgery, while Naugatuck police were securing Naugatuck and vicinity for him. She notified a policeman on his beat there, but he did not under stand her, thought she was kid ding" him and let the opportunity pass. A warrant for Nikitko charging him with forgery, had been sent by local police to the cen- tral police station in the vicinity fthe Nikitko home in New York but apparently the officer Jose phine accosted did not know of the warrant.
 Naugatuck police still hope Ser gei will be picked up before the case comes to trial. There was some jewelry in the Nikitko home and police think the husband may have intended to endeavor to pick it up. He did not get it, however.
 Mrs Nikitko spotted her husband about D. m., Wednesday, she stated.
 Mrs Sabacinski was. represented this morning bq Attorney Joseph Guilfoile of Waterbury. Judge Claremont I. Tolles just back from

PAINTED MARKERS LEAD TO ARREST

An ingenious attempt to camou- flage 1883 auto markers so that they were apparently plates for the current year failed to deceive Motor Patrolmen John Walsh and John Mcdonnell and they arrest ed the driver of the car, Joseph Macary, A, of 31 Woodtick roa ]. The markers, the same color as the 1885 plates, had the last numer- al of the year 1888" covered with black paint, so that when used at night, the car apparently had regu. lar markers for this year.
 The motor patrolmen spotted the deception and arrested Ma cary on charges of operating with illegal markers and operating with out a driving license. In city court to-day he was fined $10 and costs on each count.

QUALITY STRESSED
IN WOOD FINISHING
Fine Piece of Furniture May
Not Show Well, Expert
Says.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


PHILADELPHIA, July Pit pays
to invest in quality, believes w. L. NC
Fadden, prominent varnish manu-
facturer of this city, who is an author
ity on wood finishing.
In the matter of furniture finish
ing, for instance. quality is tremen-
dously import" Mr.. McFadden points
out. "A fine piece of furniture, well
designed and constructed of beautiful
wood, may fall far short of perfection
because, in the finishing operations,
careless workmanship or inferior ma
terials may be employed.
Beautifully grained wood-porous
and absorbent-is easily disfgured and
soiled, in its natural state. 1t needs
the protection of properly prepared and
carefully applied finishing material"
Mr.. McFadden explains.
The successive steps in furniture
finishing begin with the staining of
the wood to reveal the grain. This
brings out it's natural beauty in tones
and shade blendings that would re-
quire years to, produce naturally. A
filler is then applied that closes the
pores of the wood, prevents the alb
sorption of moisture and gives
smooth, even surface for the finishing
operations.
1.-THE finishing coat" explains Mr..
McFadden, may be either varnish,
lacquer or shellac. Three coats of fin
ishing material-sanded between coats
are usually applied. The final
polishing may be done with pumice
stone and water or with a rubbing
oil. The highest quality finish on
some woods requires % separate oper-
ations. while the least arduous finish
calls for 9. Naturally the finer work
manship is worthy of a higher price.
As in everything else, top-notch ma
terials, skillfully employed. spell quail
ity and money saving in the long run
Bargains seldom mean economy.
THE building industry has a term
for slipshod construction. It's Jerry
built If those two words can be
applied to furniture" says Mr. McFad-
den, lit can be said that jerry-built
furniture Is not the sort that develops
into heirlooms. Of course, few of us
are interested in purchasing furniture
that will last for the next generation.
We are, however, interested in pur-
chasing pieces that will still be in
good condition decade hence, and
consequently it is for the good of our
pocketbookS If we select well-designed,
Well-constructed and finely finished
pieces when we go furniture buying"

RENTS ON RISE
Real Estate on Upward Trend,
Philadelphian Asserts.

Statistics from many civic centers
Of the country show that rents are
steadily rising and now stand at n
per cent of the 1926 averages" Philip
w. Kniskern of Philadelphia said last
week in a real estate talk.
There is every indication" he
stated, that real estate has passed
the low point and is on the upward
trend. The most pronounced rent
rises we're in the period from April
to May of this year. Residential con-
struction has shown a steady decline
for several years, so that at the pres
ent time there is a lesser number of

WINTER STARTS
 FIRST ATTACKS
,By United Press)

Winters first onslaught swept down from the far northwest today and southeastward across the mid- de west, spreading colder weather to Texas, Arkansas and. the lower Mississippi states.
 It was 12 degrees below zero in Havre, Mont. Tn North Dakota the temperature ranged about zero. It showed in Yellowstone park and at Helena, Mont, where the populace was evacuating the earthquake torn city. Zero weather multiplied the suffering resulting from new trem- ors at Helena.
 The cold wave brought the first freezing weather to Kansas and Missouri. The temperature range in Kansas was from 22 to 2e degrees.
 Snow fen to depth of four inch es at Bemidji, Minn., accompanied by a gale and 10 degree tenipera- tlires. At Minneapolis the mercury dropped from Indian summer levels to 90 degrees. Sleet storms were general throughout the northwest. Ducks were captured at Interna- tional Falls, Minn., when they mis- took glazed streets for water.

Federal Agent Cannot Search Car For Liquor
U. s. Commissioner Krasow Discharged John Paolino of Orange Street and Sam Margolis of North
 Main Street at Hearing Today

A federal agent cannot search Q car for contraband liquor no mat ter what his suspicious may be, un- less he has positive knowledge that there Is liquor in the car, ruled '. s. Commissioner Harry Krasow at Q hearing this afternoon. As Q consequence, he granted discharges to John PRolino, 47, of POT Orange street, and Sam Margolis, 37, of 40i North Main street, both of whom were arrested last Friday morning by Federal Agent Gus Lynch and Captain Dan Carson and Patrolinan Patrick Moylan of the local vice squad, after their car had been halted on East Main street and 26 gallons of non-tax paid alcohol found inside. ,E
 Attorney Mascolo Wins
 Commissioner Krasow granted the discharges on motion of Attorney Edward Mascolo, defense counsel He sustained the latter's claim that federal regulations forbid the search. ing of Q private car by government agents, no matter what suspicious they may have. State law, however, allows state and local policemen to search Q car of which they are sus- picious.
 Paolino is not yet entirely out of trouble, however, for he had to post si,O00 bonds to insure his appear. ance next Friday afternoon before Commissioner Krasow. He must then answer charges of being involved in the operation of the 850-gallon still found in Greystone last year. A warrant for his arrest on that charge had been out since last year, but Paolino could not be found.

 ing Was Damaged

The earthquake which rocked the entire northeastern section of the country early this morning was definitely felt in Waterbury. though few of those who noted 1t at the time knew that 1t was an earth tremor. The quake was felt in ell sections of the city, but no doinage was done, as fa ras could be learn cd. t
 Several eating places reported that water spilled from glasses; at at least one party q bottle of liquor fell over; one witness declared that he saw the Boys club building on Cottage place shake: and many Wa terburians noticed furniture move and swal slightly. All those ques- toned agreed that the quake hit here about 1:i0 6. fii., but there was con- fiicting reports on how long the tresinor lasted, some saying for just a second, and others as high as almost half Q minute. tN
 At Waterbury hospital nurses and patients noted the shock, but thought that 1t was heavy gust of wind. At fire headquarters the quate was felt, while householders in every section of the city who were awake also noted the tremor. Many of those attending Halloween par- ties noticed the shock, but none believed it an earthquake.
 One nurse at Waterbury hospital told c graphic story: T had just gotten into bed and put out the light when felt the floor move. I thought 1t was Q heavy gust of wind for Q minute, but I was worried and reached to light Q bridge lamp. As I did so, l saw that my desk was sway ing, and then the lamp, too, began to sway"
 No one at police headquarters not- iced the tremor, while 1t was also unobserved ct St. Mary's hospital. At Waterbury hospital, however, Q num- Der of patients felt the quake. Those on the streets ct the time also re- ported noticing the tremor.

New York, Nov. i-(UP)--Bec of "inadequae instruments and the necessity of making living" Reu- ben 0reenspan, did not know about the eastern earthquake today until 1t rocked his bed.
 Famous for his predictions of earthquakes on @ theory of his own creation, Greenspan said he had been financially unable to continue the research that might have fore cast the shocks. t,
 He declined to say whether he considered another quake in this area probable, adding;
 "Theres bad fault in the earth s crust up in the Mohawk valley and another one south of here in the vicinity of Charleston, s. O., but New York city seems to rest on pretty firm foundation. You never can tell though"
 He said 1t was his "guess" that the quakes in Montana would continue.
