RARE VALUES AT
 USED CAR MARKET
Public Advised to Consult Democrats Listings
 As Guide

To-day the Democrat directs at- tention of readers to the large number of used automo obiie offered for sale at sensational prices by Waterbury's leading Auto Dealers and Used Car Markets. The list ings of these cars may be found on the Classified page of tho Democrat.
 For the past few years there has been a scarcity of good used cars in the months following the early spring and the experience gained by those people who have been dis appointed has taught those looking for such cars to be on time and look earlier. The opportunity af- forded to pick up good used cars at prices that are right was never more opportune and 1t is safe to say that with the announcement that all used cars are being closed out at bargain prices by Water bury's leading dealers will cause a great scarcity as the fine weather approaches.

Brakes Sp Parked Milk Truck Rols Crashes Into Store
PLYMOUTH AGENT OFFERS BARGAIN
John J. Collins Selling Old Cars to Make Room
 For New Models

With over one million Plymouth cars already using hydraulic brakes. the 1895 Plymouths on dis. play at John J. Collins, Inc, Ss Willow street have hydra ulic brakes with Improvements de- veloped through years of actual experience.
 Plymouth hydraulic brakes are simple in design, based upon the fundamental laws of physics that pressure applied to an enclosed column of fluid is transmitted equally and undiminished in all d. rections. This means they are al- ways equalized.
 Differing from other types of hydraulic brakes, the Plymouth brakes to act depend upon self energizing action. They have two pistons per wheel, instead of one, so that each brake shoe is moved positively into contact with the drum by it's own piston.
 Plymouth engineers made a mo- table improvement in the Ply mouth brakes this year when they increased the size of the rear
 
 ating the rear shoe Is larger than the one operating the front shoe. This change was made after the engineers discovered that the front brake shoe did a slightly greater share of the work because of the forward movement of the car. Now the larger rear pistons increase the pressure on the rear shoes so the rear shoes do the same amount of work as the front.
 In addition to this improvement. the length of the rear brake lining has been increased. The result ss 0 gain of approximately 20 per- cent in effective braking area. A new design stepped" wheel C. ,in- ders is used to further improve the braking system.
 In recent Safety Lane" tests conducted in cities throughout the country, Plymouth brakes obtained high percentage of approvals. One test showed ninety-two per- cent of all Plymouths were "okay' as compared win other percentages as low as 56 per cent and 33 per cent.
 Chrysler pioneered centrifuse brake drums as well as hydraulic brakes and the new Plymouths have this type of drum, which com- pines the light weight and strength of steel with the ideal braking characteristics of cast iron.
 The public's response to the ap- peal of the N. Jew Safe" Ply mouth has been so tremendous that the John J. Collins Agency has re- ceived many desirable Used Cars on turn-ins. A complete list of these cars will be found on the Democrats Classified page. All used cars must be sold to make room for the new models and con- sequently, MT Collins is offering unusual buys on these trade-ins.

was also discussed. It was re. vcalcd that this man was a supernumcrary police officer for more than 10 years and also has had regular experi- ence. He was dropped because he was not made a regular be- fore attaining 40 years of age.
 This man served fin the World war and holds an hon. Orable discharge but such things do not seem to interest our administration though sev- cral regular appointments have been made to supernumeraries who were much younger.
 Owing to an error discovered in Mir McnzlllO's age record he still could be made a reg ular patrOlman but officials of the federation do not expect to sec him appointed. They are of the opinion that Ital- ian politicians are so inter- csted in providing jobs for their relatives that they can- not obtain the recognition de- served for their constituents.
 Tho federation voted to in. tensify its activities for the year 1885 and to continue the process of uniting the Italian- American societies and clubs and concentrate on an fn- creased membership of men and women.
 Election of Officers
 Election of officers will take nlace on February 28th. After the election of officers. conn mittees will be appointed for an educational and welfare program.
 All Italian American sOci- cites which have not yet joined may still join by sending two delegates to the. federation. Political clubs are also allowed as they are in similar federal tions throughout the country. So far, the United Italian \ republican club Is the only pO- htical club to join. The Italian democratic club has refused to join and 1t was brought out that the president of the Ital- ian democratic club is hostile to tho federation. though the president of the WOmen's Ital- Ian democratic club and other prominent members have COG operated with the federation.
 Several members and some of the leading officers of the Mems and WOmcn's' Italian democratic club are also mcm- bcrs of the federation.
 The question was brought up as to whether Or>not the fcd- eratiOn would endorse the movement sponsored by the National Order of Elks, urging congress to adopt laws which would prohibit the Organiza- ton of groups aiming to Over- throw or change our form of government by force. The federation decided to leave the matter up to the individuti units.

Alleging that discrimination Is manifest locally in the ap- pOintment of Italians to mu- nicipal offices and to the fire and police departments, Q statement of considerable im- port was released for publlca- ton today by the Italian- American Federation. Racial groups other than the Italians arc being favored, regardless of the fact that, their voting strength or proportion of the clty's total population is vastly inferior to tho Italian, so 1t is claimed.
 Failure of the present board of police commissioners to name an Italian to the detec. tive force and its action in ask ing the resignation of an Ital. ian. supernumerary policeman, arc cited as instances of the discrimination or lack of rec- ognition.
 Tho following is the state- ment released as. ''news'' toe day:
 At . meeting of the Italian Federation held last night at the Provincial AvelllnO hall the program of activities for the year 1885 was discussed.
 Fourteen societies and clubs of the federation were repre- scented by their respective pres- idents and delegates.
 Comparisons were made in tho recognition accorded Ital- fans i'm the municipal offices with recognition accorded ra- cial groups. It was brought out that one racial group which represents only One-tcntll as many as the Italians has almost aS many police officers, municipal rep. rcsentation and court officials.
 Another racial group only less than Onc-third as large as the Italians has two repre- sentatiycs in the detective bu. rcau and almost as much rcp- rcsentatiOn as the Italians in other municipal departments. ., Detective Bureau
 It was brought out that a promise was made t6 appoint PatrOlman Daniel Mecca to the detective bureau. but 1t seems as though the present adminis- tratiOn docs not want an Ital- ian at the detective bureau though an Italian-American detective Is needed more than for any other class.
 1t was further brought forth that Italians who cannot speak the English language are sometimes held at the police station longer than ordinarily necessary for questioning.
 The officer endorsed by the federation cal speak four lan- guagcs but does not seem to have the sympathy of the powers that be.

LONDON. Nov. 28.-War clouds
hung heavy over Europe today as
tension between England and Italy
became increasingly grave.
Anxiety reminiscent of the sum-
mer of 1914 was evident in all CAPT.
tails as a result of MuSSolini's de-
FAINT measures to discourage Britain
and the other members of the
League of Nations from shutting off
Italy's supplies of oil, cotton and
metalS-Vital necessities for her war
with Ethiopia.
England's assurance to the United
States that the League general
staff Of 10 would meet Dec. to
extend anti-Italiap sanctions to an
oil embargo revived tension that
had been dormant for about three
weeks
Some observers outSpokingly
claimed a war between the two
countries hinged on the application
Of the oil embargo They pointed
out that Italy is entirely dependent
on the outside world for petroleum
and without it MusSolini would have
to abandon his East African cam
paign.
Utmost significance was attached
TO ROme'S move in cancelling fur
loughs of 100000 troops and to
Italian troop movements, undertake
en-, according to Mussolini's official
spokesman, lin view of the uncer-
tainty created by reports on the pos
sibihty of extension of sanctions"
Europe interpreted this statement
as meaning that II Duce was not
bluffing when he said an oil en-
barge would be regarded as a hostile
act-cauSe for war.
Meanwhile, further threat to
Anglo-Italian relations was seen in
reports from Ethiopia of the posi-
bility of an Italian invasion of the
region around Lake Tana-Spear-
head Of Britain's vast irrigation
projects in the Nile Valley.

Presents His Views
to Legislators.
BY JAMES DOSS

A special session of the Legisla-
ture probably will be held in Janu-
airy, it was reported today, following
a caucus yesterday at the Claypool
at which Sc of the 81 Democrats in
the Senate voted to confine legisla-
ton to social security laws.
After caucusing two hours, the
Senators invited Gov McNutt to adj
dress them. He accepted, telling
them he was gratified at their de-
cision to consider only social Secur-
ity legislation if a special session is
needed.
The Governor is scheduled to
leave for Washington tonight to
discuss the Indiana old-age pension
law with the Federal Social Secur-
ity Board and try to obtain from the
board a ruling on what Indiana
must do to share in Federal money
The Governor suggested to the
Senators, it was said, that it would
be better to wait until January for
any special session. Congress has
not yet appropriated money for
the law. he pointed out, and there
might be some changes in the law.
Chambers Issues Statement
Senator Walter S. Chambers
Newcastle publisher and veteran
member of the upper house, called
the caucus and issued a statement
announcing the agreement to limit
legislation to social security.
Thirty Senators attended and six
others sent letters asserting to such
an agreement, Senator Chambers
said. Only Senator William Den
nigan. Vincennes. failed to appear
or acknowledge the invitation. Sen
ator Chambers said
Asked il the caucus had developed
much discussion Of when a session
would be held, Senator Chambers
said all of those present thought

Promises Full Hearings
The job insurance law is neces-
sary if Indiana employees and en-
ployers are to receive benefit of the
