Everyone has at least one friendwho
seems to have about everything or is
so exclusive in her tastes that it is a
problem to find something distinctive
that costs little. Hamill's Book Store
has just the gift. They're fancy pack
ages of tea, candy, cracker and nuts,
packed in containers that will later
make jam jars, lemon dishes, baskets
or trays.
We just can't think of Christmas
without having our mouths water
thinking Of the good things we're 60
ing to have to eat. Start Christmas
day with toasted pecan rolls from the
Oakland Bakery-slice and toast to a
golden brown. You'll find that it
makes perfect breakfast with coffee
made from a China Drip-o-lator from
the Oakland Hardware and Furniture
company. This drip-o-lator is a real
gift as it makes a nice coffee pot for
table service after the coffee is made.
And it's heat resisting China too. The
price is surprisingly low.
But to get back to food. Have you
tried the fig, date and plum pudding
sold at Miller's? These are good served
hot or cold and are equally tasty for a
turkey dinner dessert or party refresh
ments.
Dan Smouse has perfectly lovely
grapes. You'll want both red and
green ones for your fruit dish to add
color and later to accent salad.
And speaking of color. Don't we all
like a colorful kitchen Give your
kitchen table new dress of oil cloth
from Treacy's Cash Store. Please save
me two yards of that yellow plaid
design.
After we think of tasty foods our
next thought goes to the men. What,
Oh, what?
Oh, that's easy. Have you seen the
Yardley's shaving bowls in wood that
are on the counter at Gonder's Phar-
macy? Every man that sees theses
wants one. So take the tip.
Now this sounds like a mans gift
for it is truly masculine and no man
ever has enough, but you women will
be thinking of yourselves when you
buy shirts with Trubenized collars.
The collars don't wilt, which saves
laundry (and girls, they're a snap to
from. Dress him in one of these shirts

that Sincell's carries them.

SnoOpin' Around Town.
By Gift Hunter

After snoopin' around the stores of
Oakland this past week it is plain to
be seen that there is no use going to
neighboring towns to shop when there
are so many lovely, distinctive gifts
right under your nose for every mem
Der of the family at a price one can
pay.
Don't be like the woman who ran
herself ragged in Baltimore looking
for just the right kind of books for
her toddlers and then discovered that
Jackson's and 10 carried even a bet
ter selection, and many of the same
kinds that two of the big dime stores
carried. Begin early to teach your
children the appreciation Of good
books with these lovely ones in color.
Begin early, too, to teach your
daughter to wear clothes to help ex-
press her personality. There are types
even in little girls. For any type from
three to six one of the ABC frocks, or
a Honey Girl tog from the Half-Price
Stores. These are distinctive for their
styles, materials and wide hens. The
slide fasteners put them in the desired
"self-help" class.
We don't need to make a suggestion
for school age children, for they have
told you dozens of times just what they
want, color, price, and where to buy it.
Was there ever a sister, wife, or
mother who ever got enough hose for
Christmas? They will be especially
pleased with the adjustable top of the
Gold Stripe, sold at Frank Smouse's.
They are sheer, wear we'll and are in
nice shades, and come at three reason
able prices.
But don't ever give your sweetheart
hose-never! That is, if you want to
make a lasting impression. If she's
girl whom you like especially well
but haven't got far enough along to
"pop the question" show her that you
know your girls by giving a Max Fac
tory vanity and lip stick in modern de-
sign in black and gold, sold at Stur-
giss' Pharmacy. They're the last word
in smartness.
Or maybe you're thinking about
popping the question" soon. Before
you do give her the little yellow gold
watch, Elgin make, if she's the dainty
type, or for the business girl select
the round one that's really a mans
watch but also appeals to working
girls. incidentally, it's water proof
and is sold at Shaffer's Jewelry.
And girls, romance grows ever so
much easier if there's nice clump of
mistletoe hung in a convenient spot.
The Farmers Store has it as we'll as
holly, long needed pine and other
greenery for indoor decorations.

defroster. Your auto dealer carries a
good stock.
Every dog has his day. Let it be
Christmas day and give the dog of
the household a treat by providing
him with the best in dog food from
the Oakland Supply company.

Good old Dad and Nom. They de-
serve the best. And have you noticed
how easy it is to give them things for
the house that you've been wanting?
The answer this year is an l. E. S.
reading lamp that brightens the corner
where all the family will want to gath
er. The West Maryland Power COM
pany has them for purses fat and thin.
A note to you Papas. Slip the kids
over to Bells Studio and have a pic
ture taken for their mother. AS long
as you live she'll thank you for it.
And for you beaux-old and young
don't forget that there never was a
woman who didn't like flowers. Try
giving her something different. Make
it bowl of ivy, or better, two of them
for the mantle. Weber's have lovely
plants to select from. Put them in
the bowls and brackets from the
Acorn Gift Shop which the women of
good taste are admiring.
When you tuck your gift under your
arm to take to your lady, include a
box of Norris candy Oakland Phar-
Macy. She'll like the box of French
candies that makes you lover of good
taste.
When all's said and done, what girl
doesn't look out for her own interest?
And III be willing to bet that one of
her greatest interests is her figure.
The Coffman-Fisher company has an
excellent line Of girdles and corsets to
smooth lines of the slender girl and re-
make lines for the plump ones.
This in only the beginning of the
finds" you'll find in Oakland. For
other ideas read the advertisements in
The Republican.
And while you're reading, pull your
self up to the gas stove in the corner
of the room, like those sold at the C.
& A. Gas company, and toast your
feet.

John Cook, present postmaster, is expected to be succeeded by ademo- crat. It was stated at the postotfice today that no information could be given out here as to the number oi applications, although in Nauga- tuck the civil service agent there willingly announced the number oi applications received, although not stating who applied.
 The various applicants have been busy pulling strings" to get the post which pays 8 good salary for these times and which Is a four year jobD
 It is virtually certain a demo- crat will be appointed and although there has been no evidence of bitter ness among the applicants, there is keen competition for the post. It is one of the befst political "plums" available in this vicinity.
 Vote Tomorrow
 Local parishioners of the United church will cast their ballots in the peace plebiscite at morning service tomorrow. The vote was slated for last Sunday but 1t was decided to postpone 1t until tomorrow.
 Sunday, however, is definitely the final time for voting. The vote is to determine whether or not the church advocates definite action to- ward peace. It Is part of state- wide poll as far as the Congrega- tional church is concerned.
 Response Good
 Progress in the Red Cross enroll- ment campaign which started Mon- day is being reported. The young men assigned to the house. toulouse campaign are reporting & splendid spirit of cooperation being shown by local residents and 1t is hoped that the enrolment here this year will be higher than ever before.
 The Red Cross has proved help full to local families in the past year, in two cases providing food and shelter for families whose houses had burned down.

Continued from Page 1.) Crupo, 25, who were arrested here this week after passing a bad $i0 bill at a gas station and who arc now awaiting trial in federal court, admitted to police that they passed not less than 1T counterfeit $l0's here. Two days after their arrest, third suspect, Michael Vitale, l9, of 9 Bergen stret, surrendered to U. s. Commissioner Harry Krasow when he learned that the govern ment had issued warrant for his arrest.
 Secret service men from the New Haven office have been in Water bury this week. They took part in the questioning of the three young men who were arrested, and are reported to have made considerable investigation both lon their own" and with the aid of police.
 Also under probe here is the cir- culation of an amount, small, s yet, of spurious silver coins. The investigators do not believe that this bogus money comes from the same source as the bad bills but are nevertheless checking up on all possible leads.

advanced with astonishing rapidity up the Fafan Valley. It aimed Ut getting into direct contact with the fleeing Ethiopians, defeat them and return to the starting point. This plan was realized.
 Maletti's column was one in which fast armored cars protected native dubat troops of Somaliland who rode in motor trucks.
 The column advanced until last Monday when 1t reached it's furth- est point north and its objective Philippians in force.
 Scouts ahead of the main column saw a strong Ethiopian force with motor trucks, protected by armored cars and machine guns, resting near Hamalei wells at the north- CT ntip of the F'af depression.
 Gen Maletti was informed and decided to attack at once.
 Eye Witness Account
 (The following battle has been announced at Rome. This is the only eyewitness story)
 Maletti displayed his units in combat order. The Ethiopians &C., cepted the challenge eagerly. Tho battlefield\was plain barren ground which permitted the fierce fighting that followed.
 The Italians attacked. The Ethi- opians were led by four Europeau officers whose nationality Is still url- known to the Italians.
 The Ethiopians counter.attacked repeatedly, rallied by their Euro pean officers. Each counter-attack was tsopped short by fire from the Italian armored cars and from the dubats.
 In the end the E,thiopians retired e little more than Q mile from the battlefield. beaten and leaving their supplies. They left more than 300 dead, including one of the European officers.
 Burned Motor Trucks
 Malettis men burned about 50 motor trucks which the Philippians left. They gathered 200 rifles, three machine guns and much amnuni- ton and started their return toward Gabre Dare, as ordered, without molestation, bringing their killed and wounded.
 This action, now complete, is re- garded as most important. The rapidity of the Italian advance and the sting of It's attack further de- moralized the Ethiopians. already disorganized as the result of their defeat ct Gorrahei. ...

who advanced from territory previ- ously occupied.
 This was the end of one opera ton of a series carefully planned by General Rodolfo Graziani.
 The next operation was to- mop up and pursue the Philippians who fled in disorder from Gorrahei.
 The second operation developed in two phases. one was the con- solation of the territory immediate. ly ahead of the army north of Gorrahei.
 This action brought about the submission of many chieftains and their warriors, and the return Of other tribes to their territories along the Fafan river valley.
 The prisoners were told that Ma kale in the north had been taken by the Italians and they were great ly concerned.
 Hornet Like Dash
 The second phase was that Of a hornet like dash whose object was to sting, and further demuralize, troops and warriors retreating to- ward the main Ethiopian army in the Jljiga- -Harar area.

GRADE CROSSING
 PLANS SPEEDED
Elimination Program Will GO Through as Soon
 as Received

Washington, D. C., Nov. 16-Off1- cials of the Bureau of Public Roads are prepared to expedite approval of Connecticut's grade-crossing elimination program as soon as 1t is received from State Highway Com missioner John A. Macdonald, they have informed Senator Lonergan, of Connecticut.
 An allocation of $l,700,000 Is available to the state, the senator said, for such work, and Connecti- cut Is reported as one of a few states which have not submitted a program to date. He understood, however, that this was because Commissioner Macdonald desired to submit all projects at once in a uni fled program which is now nearly completed. The states program for expenditure of its $l,4o0,00 portion of federal funds for regular road work has already been received iil Washington, the senator said.

state troopers covered the country highways and beat through the heavy forest, but Crow remained unfound. One trooper reported that he fired several shots at Crow in the woods, but this report was never fully verified. The search went on without success. and final ly the state police left Wolcott.
 Since that time, state troopers and Waterbury detectives have run down dozens of false clues. Several times 1t was thought that the fugi- tive killer had been located, but the clues proved groundless. He was never found.
 An inquest in charge of Deputy Coroner Walter W. Smyth found Crow criminally responsible for the deaths of the two men, but the kill- CT could never be found to be brought before the bars of justice. Lieut.. William Schatzman, who di- rected what was perhaps the great est manhunt in the states history, with even bloodhounds seeking Cow in the Wolcott woods, de- clared that state police would get Crow, no matter how many months or years 1t took.
 The fact that clue after clue that gave possibility of leading to dis covery Of Crows whereabouts proved false, Lieut. Schatzmann and other st.te police kept up their hunt. Re- ports from many parts of Connecti- cut, and from states near and far were investigated, but in vain.
 Deputy Coroner Smyth said to- day that he would take no steps in further investigation until he had heard a report from Lieut.. Schatzman.
 Chief Inspector William P. Keegan of the Waterbury detective bureau said that he had received no information on the new tip, 5 but that he would be glad to offer state police any cooperation they wished.
 A late report from New York state this morning stated that den- tall work in the mouth of the dead mans body was being sketched and that wax impressions would be talk en, and held for use of Connecti- cut state police to compare with re- ports describing Crows teeth.
