his dog. But as is the case in
innumerable instances, the master
thought that the dog, being an
animal, could stand anything,
But no living thing-not even fish
can live without air. Even a tree
will smother to death if filled in
with earth too high around the
trunk.
The owner of this particular
dog left his devoted pet shut up
tight in a closed car while he
went swimming. It was a hot day.
And the car was parked in the
sunlight. The dog looked all right
shut up tight in that glass COM
partment through which not a
breath of air could penetrate. but
the air was soon exhausted, the
temperature mounted rapidly, the
breath of the poor animal became
more and more rapid. His whineS
brought no help. A crowd gath
cred from curiosity, but no one
broke the glass to save the dogs
life with air. Foaming at the
mouth, he went into commissions.
When the master returned, his
pet was dead.
Do not take your dog for a ride
in summer if he must be left shut
up in a closed car. For it is
almost impossible to give a dog
ventilation enough without the
danger of his escape. Just try
sitting in a closed car yourself
with every window shut for half
an hour and see how it feels.

days annual leave to Government

to is days. cumulative to 100 days,
was voted yesterday by the House
Civil Service Committee.
The measures, which had the
unanimous support of employees
unions, now go on the House cal
endar, and action may be taken
within two weeks. Prompt passage
is expected.
Chairman Ramspeck said If he
could not get the bills called up

bring them on the floor under a
suspension of rules. There was
not a dissenting vote when the
committee reported the two bills
favorably.

tary to the late Speaker Champ

Grams and of the Shriners?
Two different classes, yes! The
first came to humbly ask their
meager wages, earned in the war
Is years ago.
They were driven out, I need
not mention how. And now comes
the second class, most of whom
are still clipping coupons from
bonds bought with their profits
from business or high wages at

POPULATION HERE
 TOTALS lO4,OOO
Latest Health Department Figures Give Water-
 bury an Increase

According to the latest estimates issued by the state department of health, Waterbury's present popu- lation is 104,400. The federal cen- sus of 1880 gave the city's popula- tion figure as 99,901. Therefore, if the state health departments fg- ures are correct, this city has ada ed over 4,000 residents since 1890.
 The method used by the state department in arriving at local populations is one approved by the federal bureau of census. There- fore, the latest figure of 104, 400 Is considered authentic. According to the latest figures, Connecticut's population totals 1,722,797 as com- pared with 1,606,903 at the time of the 1930 federal census.
 All the above figures are "as of July 1st. 1885, New Haven is the largest county in the state with a population of 4SS,182. Hartford County is second, Fairfield comes third, New London is fourth, Litchfield county follows fifth in line. Windham is next, Middlesex comes next and Holland finishes last.
 The survey shows that the popu- lation of the state is concentrated in 56 towns having a population of 5000 or more. Naugatuck's popu- lation is set at 14,415 while that of Torrington is estimated at 2I522. Watertown Is credited with 9,288, Prospect is listed as having 667 residents, Thomaston Is credited with 4,28S and Wolcott is given total of 1908.

Clubs Seek Let-Up
 In Liquor Rules
Singing Societies Met Yesterday to Prepare LegsIa-
 five Program -fiumme Counsel for Federation

1 he state federatoin was present at the session. He stated to-day he is now preparing bills that will tend to offset rulings of the liquor control commission.
 The commission refused to re- new licenses of several clubs throughout the state, including those of the Concordia Singing so- ciety and the Turn Vereins on the grounds that the permittees were not suitabfe persons to hold the permits.
 The unsuitability was based on the claim that the clubs were run only on a part-time basis. The federation which met yesterday, which is made up of singing so- cieties throughout Connecticut, contends that the commissions ruling is discriminatory.
 The singing clubs are made up of working men, mostly. who are able to frequent their meeting places evenings, Saturday after moons and Sundays. They are not able to patroniZe the clubs during working hours.
 On the other hand. there are clubs which operate throughout the day and night but they have, 1t Is claimed, members who are able to visit these gathering places at any hour during the day. The local fraternity clubs affected by the commission ruling have joined in protesting against this situation on the grounds that 1t takes care ot the rich man and not the average working man.
 Another meeting of the Feder- ated Clubs of Connecticut will take place on the goth at the Hartford Turnerbund to discuss proposed legislation further.
