Is the commission going to legalize liquor by the drink and limit the number of per- mits according to population?
 Package Stores Hit
 twill the committee limit the number of package store licenses and restrict them to that type of business only and not as we have 1t today? I am referring to butcher shops, grocery stores, cigar stores. cut-rate cosmetic stores and chain stores. The present system is hav- ing 0 very bad effect on the younger generation. Of the 2,033 package store permits in Connecti- cut two chains have sos of the per- mits. These two concerns are not Connecticut concerns and their profits leave the state. It is nearly time the state should protect the individual merchant from the all- powerful outside chain groups"
 Senator Bradley himself com mended Senator Culhane on his stirring and splendid defense of his own measure. He informed him that the committee intended to consider all of his questions in pre- pairing the liquor bill. But he pointed out that the county or com mission form of control had been fought out two years ago and set- tied then. Abandonment of the present form of control was not necessary, he said, to make the necessary corrections in the law.
 He declared that the Culhane bill was unusual In many ways. He referred to one section in which Senator Culhane charged that ir- regularities in the conduct of the commission had been reported. If so, declared Senator Bradley, it was pu to Senator Culhane to point out those irregularities to the state. Executive Session The finance committee, of which Senator George T. Culhane is a member, was holding an executive session today at which the bill 0f- fered by the Waterbury senator relating interest and lien fees on back taxes provided they are paid by October 1, 1885. was being con- sidered. Last week Mayor Hayes. appearing at the committee hear- ing urged report one way or an- other as the city was losing money in taxes as taxpayers awaited the outcome of the bill. It is believed report will be returned tomor- row.

 The latter branch. which ad- journed after a short session, passed two Middletown bills, one repeating a special act of April 26, 1888 restoring salary reductions to city court officials. The restorations were not due until June of this year. The other permitted the Lotz Insulation Company to sue the state for work done of the state hospital, on grounds the concern was not sufficiently remunerated under its contract.
 A measure providing penalties to individuals or groups conspiring to overthrow the state or federal governments was rejected.
 Frank Cheeney, Jr., Manchester, and Arthur l.. Shipman, Hartford, were appointed to the state she'll fish commission for two years.
 The house turned down a bill prohibiting persons serving in the legislature to simultaneously hold executive office, or serve in the ju- dietary. Eta
 The senate approved bill shifting e-fourths of the ex- pense of financing the state police department from the motor vehi- cles department to the highway de- partment. It was the first proposal of the special tax study commis- sion to come before the assembly on a favorable report.

 Appointment of special prosecu- tors in all cities and towns to act in the absence of the regular pros- ecutor.
 Increasing the personnel of the state police department. Corporations, banks and trust companies be prohibited from ad- vertising.
 Decreasing the liability of hotel keepers for damaged goods.

STRAND

Starting Sunday the Strand
 theater will change its presenta-
 ton policy. A new show will be
 presented each week on Sunday
 and Thursday, instead of three
 program changes weekly as here-
 tofore. This is done at the re- quest of hundreds of patrons who
 have been forced to miss some of the hit productions, that are play ing the Strand every week, becauss
 of the necessity of standing in
 line. These double feature pie ture hits are extremly lengthy and
 the running time of each show Is considerably advanced. Under the new arrangement an extra day Is added to each program thus mak-
 ing it possible for everyone to
 find time 10 see the shows that are the talk of the town. At the Strand today is Josephine Hutchinson and George Brent in "The Right To Live" also Lottery Lover" with
 Lew Ayres and Pat Patterson. Fri day and Saturday the program will
 include Richard Dix in West of

STAMFORD YOUTH

Charles HOwes Proposed For Official Position By
 Senator LOnergan
BY PAUL MAY Democrat Correspondent)

NDChOCTuO SONASopOhN~tI
 Washington, D. C., Feb. 2S-- Through the efforts of Senator Au- gustine Lonergan, Charles Howes of Stamford, amateur weather fore- caster, will more than likely be named as official weather reporter for that area by the United States Weather Bureau, it was announced at Lonergan's office.
 Howes, son of Paul Howes, curator of the Bruce Memorial Museum of Greenwich, has for sey, eral years been experimenting with home made barometers and other instruments to predict weather conditions, Lonergan's secretary ex- plained.
 Lonergan made an appeal to the Weather Bureau in an effort to have thes boy put on the govern ment payroll and have him taken in by the service, it was said. How ever, at this time there are no ap- propriations to engage additional personnel, so the best that can be done is to have Howes named off, ficial reporter to the Weather Bu- reau for the Stamford territory.
 This, 1t was explained, would be purely voluntary service on Howes' part as no remuneration could be extended to him.

the 4,S8O,O00,O00 relier bill. This Forced the administration in effect to withdraw the bill temporarily and disrupted the entire legislative Fnachinery.
 Miss Perkins often has acted for 1i1e administration in attempting to obtain understandings on disputed situations.
 Early conferences, either by tell ephone or personally, were expect. ed between the president and vari- Dus senate leaders, several of whom alave expressed desire to lay before Mir Roosevelt their views on the re. lief tangle.
 With his congressional program brought to stop by the deadlock over his work.relief bill. the president was faced with the nee. &ssity of taking vigorous action to Restore control over a restless and insurgent senate.
 Mir Roosevelt camc back to the capital without hint of his plans, If any, for combating the senate 6lcc whose insistence on prevailing wage provision in the work-relief 4neasure threatened to wreck the entire legislative, program. Close Observers felt certain he had given no consideration to plans for ap- pesiing to the people.
 ! Organized labor, however, was prepared to adopt Mir Roosevelt's earlier technique and attempt 70 ni.gn nationwide support for its opposition to administration insist ehce on Q security wage.
 ispeaker Joseph w. Byrns said sei,ate leaders with whom he had talked indicated they hoped to be GbtO to pass the relief measure Without the controversial amend- ment, requiring payment of pre- ya!ling wage rates to relief york; era }V
 ! Byrns said he believed the house Would stand by the president on tho issue, and would also be disin- ciined to accept a compromise re- tiucing the $4,S80,000,000 fund to $1.SS0, 100000.
 Senator Robert R. Reynolds. D., N. C., advanced a proposed modI- fication of the prevailing wages Nheuld 1t be determined that their nayment would be "subversive of the maintenance or recovery of pri- Vate industry"
 The president would be author ized to determine whether payment of prevailing ages would be detri- mental and to issue a prOclamn- ton to that effect should he de- sire. He then would be authorized to suspend the prevailing wage and pay a scale that would not damage private industry.
 Problems He Faces
 Among the administrators problems are:
 1. Settlement of the work-re- lief controversy and development Of a relief program which congress will support.
 s 2. Delays encountered by the social security program.
 {. .. Situations created by the adverse IVA ruling in Birmingham and the NRA decision at Whining Ion. 4. Threatened delays to the MIRA extension program.
 5. The probability of new tax Requirements.
 6. Political angles to the Long, Farley controversy and the Cut ting Chavez election contest.

night by William Green, president Of the American Federation of La. bor. And tomorrow night hy Matthew W. Woll, A. F. of L. vice president.
 Conferences were planned at the White House as administration leaders sought to break the work relief deadlock. Conferences have been held at the capitol for two days on the subject and while some progress has been report al toward a compromise no clear-cu. solution has been advanced.
 It was revealed the president has been keeping in touch with the phone. His leaders were able to ever, of any marked swing in sen- timent.
 The senate appropriation conn mittee, to which the work-relief bill was returned after the senate had added the prevailing wage amendment, meets to-day but on another subject.
 Cost of Relief Jobs
 New York, Feb 2S.-(UP)-Ad- ministration plans to provide fuli- time employment at prevailing wage rates for 3,500,000 persons on public works during the coming fiscal year will cost $8,054, ,0OO, ,0OO rather than the $4,SO0,O0O,00O spe- cified in the appropriation bill, the national industrial conference board charged to-day.
 The average cost of dirsct relief per case in the third quarter oi 1894, the board said, was at rate of slightly more than $28O a year This type of relief would provide for the 3,500,000 persons for on, year at about $9S9,000,O0O.
 The average cost of work relic in the quarter was slightly above $35 month or $420 a year. Elm. ployment for the 3,500,000 persons under this type of relief would cost $1,475,0OO,0O0 year, it was explained.
 The public works relief plans ct congress provide for monthly wage of $50 and work week ci 30 hours. About $2, 100, 900, ,00c has been allotted for wages and $1,900,0 100000 for materials, with no provision for overhead. Britist relief authorities es. timate average material and over. head cost on this type of relief al 60 per cent, while various indepen, dent American estimates range from 60 to 65 per cent.
 A calculation based on month ly wage of $50, a work-week of 3t hours, full-time employment. witt materials and overhead cost SO pc! cent of the total, disclosed a need ed annual expenditure of $5,25O, 000,00O, compared with total ap propriatiOn in the bill of billion dollars. That figure would pro vide constant employment for no more than nine months of the year
 Substitution of the prevailing wage rate," the institute said, more than doubles the amount provided in the bill. The average hourly wage on public works projects, re. ported by the bureau of labor sta. tistics in November, was 59 cent, an hour. At this rate and under specified conditions the total cost for a years employmen for tht 3,5 1000 persons would be $8.054,. O0O,0O0 or an average annual cost per case of $2,300. If the appro. priation Is limited to $4,00O. .O0O,. 900, employment would be provid. ed for not more than 6 months.

is very refreshing in this day and

mouths without slushing and gush-
ing away.
Boys say they hand out such
hooey because gels like to hear
it. Well, I know a lot of fems
who are fed up with the same old
ga-ga stuff, and would be down.
right pleased if some men would
talk sense for a change. Of course,
there are always those brainless
bits of fluff who soak up such pit
ter-patter with relish, but why is
it some males figger ALL gals are
in the market for that line of
talk?
Personally, become suspicious
of a fella who starts a barrage of
f1attery and such at every possible
opportunity. I SEE to myself: "Oh,

That's good name for 'em, gushy-
