Money Derived Will
 Furnish Employment
 For Many More Here
Local Manufacturers 10 Purchase Product Exclusive ly-Deyelopment Planned as Experiment. -Addi-
 tional Labor to Be Recruited From City's Relief

Operated since it's inception in Waterbury as a Mutual Aid pro- ject the broom factory on North Elm street to-day became self-sus- taining and will continue in the manufacture of its product with an ultimate view of becoming pro- fit-making organization. Any pro- fits accruing from the experiment, the Democrat was informed, will revert to the Mutual Aid Unem- ployment Fund and will be used to furnish employment for a larger number of persons than is now possible with the limited amount at the disposal of the organization.
 It is understood that Inanufact- urers of the city have promised CO., operation with the new enterprise in every detail and will purchase the product of the Mutual Aid plant exclusively.
 Experiment
 The entire development is along the lines of an experim ent which may be abandoned in the event that 1t does not prove success, according to authentic reports. It is expected that an official an- nouncement will be made shortly by William M. Harris, executive secretary of the Mutual Aid fund.
 The decision to establish the fac- tory on the regulation business ba- sis comes as a result of its surpris- ing success in the manufacture and sale of it's product since it's organ ization. It is understood that the plant has made definite strides as a business venture during the past few months. leading to the belief that 1t could be successfully estab- lished as an independent concern.
 Aid to Unemployment
 While it is not yet definitely as- sured, 1t is believed that the per- sonnel of the factory may be con- siderably enlarged in the near fu- ture. Labor will undoubtedly be re- cruited from the ranks of the Mu- tual Aid Relief list and in the event that the manufacture of the brooms is extended to any appre- ciable degree will aid greatly in reducing the number on relief.
 Located on North Elm street, the factory is commonly called the Mutual Aid Workshop" In the same building. several rooms have bean devoted to the manufacture of mattresses as an EZRA project, employing about 60 persons.
 When this project was begun here last fall the building was rem ovated and fire-proofed. Several machines provided by the federal government were also installed. It could not be learned whether or not the project would be in corpo- rated into the new development or would continue to function inde- pendently.

Proposes Local Plan
 For State Adoption
Legislative Leaders Receive Suggestion From William
 Harris to Eliminate Sales Tax

Passage of an act making the local Mutual Aid plan of relief compulsory in every city, town and borough in the state of Connecticut has been recommended to Gov ernor Wilbur L. Cross, Senate Leader J. Kenneth Bradley of Westport and House Leader Daniel J. Hickey of Stamford by William M. Harris of this ctiy. The propo- sal was made over the weekend and is designed to take the place of the sales tax measure now pend- ing which has already met consid- erable opposition in the senate which is very doubtful of passage in the house.
 Furthermore, it is figured that if the local Mutual Aid plan was made compulsory, the local income to the relief fund would reach be- tween $12,00O and s14,000. weekly. instead of the present total of $9.- 900. The income in Waterbury, alone, would reach in the neigh borhood of $750,000, yearly, which

SCORE KILLED IN SOUTHERN STORM

Kansas City, Mo, May 20-~(UP) The southwest today paid with nearly score of lives and millions of dollars worth of crops and property for the boon of rain. Cloudbursts in four states, accom- panied by tornadoes in Texas, broke an unprecedented drought but left death and destruction be- hind. Flood waters of the Red river and it's tributaries buried thousands of acres of farm land. swept away scores of homes and bridges and drowned seven persons in southwestern Oklahoma. The Washita and, Canadian rivers and their forks invaded towns and farms. The Red river carried away a bridge at Burkburnett. Texas, and with it five persons. At least three were drowned. One was rescued, the fifth was missing.
 Tomatoes which struck nearly a dozen Texas communities killed seven persons. The overfiowing Brazos and Trinity rivers each claimed one life.
 Streams were falling today in the Altus, Okla. region where the bodies of Carl McAlpine, 40, and his daughter, Joy, yet were miss ing. The others drowned were Mrs. Claude Gowens, 60, McAlpine's mother-in-law, and four negroes.

would be greater than the income realized from the sales tax, t ia figured. Under the sales tax income estimates Waterbury would recelvs only s472,000 yearly.
 Local Supervision
 The Mutual Aid system In Wat erbury is voluntary. Under the plan of MT Harris, who is chairman of the Mutual Aid here, each commits nifty would handle it's relief prob- lem locally. In other words, fol- lowing passage of the act making the Mutual Aid system mandatory in all cities, towns and boroughss the various communities would re- ceive this money directly and dis pense it directly.
 Under the present sales tax bll the money realized on the sales tax would go into the state treasury and two-thirds would revert back to the cities. towns and boroughs, the remaining one-third being fe- tained to help balance the states budget.
 Mir Harris figures that the pro- posed and pending bills providing for taxes on income on dividens, insurance premiums and cigarettes would provide enough revenue to balance the state budget, thereby leaving the receipt of relief money under the Mutual Aid system to the individual communities.
 Compulsory Plan
 The Mutual Aid system would be compulsory instead of volun- tary, as it is now in Waterbury. The Harris plan would provide for the same percentage of contribu- tions to the various Mutual Aid treasuries as is now .l effect in Waterbury.
 MT Harris made the proposal to the state solons after Investigating reports that passage of the sales tax would be very doubtful in the house even though the bill might get through the senate.

BETTY MINOR ON ' NEW WATR PERIOD
We Women" Program to Be Heard Tomorrow
 at I:l5 p. m.

Betty Minor. whose WATR pro- gram, "We Women" has earned for her a host of new friends, will be heard on a new program time tomorrow. This feature, which has been presented at 1880 will now be on the air over WATR at 1:15.
 Miss Minors program takes the listener away from the ordinary routine of women's programs which usually offer recipes and household hints into the more in- teresting things in a woman's life. A few hints on newest of milady's fashion, interesting comment on the new books. suggested autom0- bile trips. and the work of women in the business and professional world are just few of the many fascinating subjects treated on this novel radio program.
 It is believed that the new broadcasting time, Tuesday at 1:15, because it's little earlier in the day, will give an opportunity to many more women to hear this program.

FLAXPLAN TING
DUE NOW FOR
BIGGEST YIELD

Imperial Valley flax growers are
advised to SOW their flax within
the next 20-day period if they are
to secure maximum yields Of flax
seed. This advice comes as joint
information from Allen r. Scott,
superintendent of the Melolano
experiment station, and H. Lee
Landerman, assistant farm advis-
or, who has recently completed a
1895 Flax Enterprise Efficiency
Study, with Is growers in the
county cooperating with the agri-
cultural extension service.
Conclusions for the advice given
are based upon findings of Scot
