BUSINESS is ON
UPGRADE, SAYS
: RECORDER HERE
Transfers of Real Estate
Reflect Gain, Asserts
Ira HaYmaker.

Business definitely is on the up
grade, in the opinion of Ira P. Hay
maker. county recorder.
This is reflected, he claims. by
the large number of bona fide trans
fers of real estate deeds and mort
cages.
During depression years the re-
cording Of instruments mostly was
the result Of sacrifice transfers. Now
the papers coming in are the cul-
mination of actual sales of prop
erty," he said.
a Stack after stack of big books
SlinD the walls of four rooms in the
recorders office. These books, ac-
cording to Mr.. Haymaker, about
$500 IN number, date back to 1924.
Many Papers Recorded
All manner of papers pertaining
to property-liens, mortgages, deeds
and contracts-are recorded there
at the rate of ST for each 900 words.
Even United States service dis
charge papers are recorded, free of
charge.
The intangibles tax act of 1898
has increased the work of the IA
persons employed in the Office, be-
cause all papers coming in or being
released must be checked for EVIL
dence that the tax has been paid,
Mr.. Haymaker said.
The new chattel mortgage act has
reduced the annual income Of the
department by about $4,000, the
official said, as these papers now
only are filed in the office instead
of being recorded.
Budget Reduced
I'VE have been able to reduce the
budget for operating this depart
ment from $4,000 in 1929 to $4,000
in 1885. While some of this saving
is due to reduced salaries, most of
it is the result of watching our
supply orders, particularly for the
expensive Photographic paper for
the photostat machine" Mr.. Hay
maker said.
Before the photostat machine was
installed, As workers were employed
in entering papers in the books. 1t
now is possible to do more work
with less people, he said.
Mr.. Haymaker declares that
paper entering the office never is
lost, due to an elaborate card filing
system.

called '"The Sons of Matacha," is powerful influence in the "Y" camp. Boys dream of that coveted honor.
 Boys are chosen for the Sons of Matacha by former members of the society and camp counselors. The vote of the boys Is the final au- thority. The ceremony takes place Sunday evening at the Indian coun- ell ring. A large fire is blazing and the boys sit quietly in the big circle while Q member of the honor society makes the circle around the seats gazing into the face of every camp CT as though searching for one who lives up to the ideals of the organi- zation.
 The chosen candidate is finally spotted and his face lighted by Q fiash.light. The wreath of honor is placed about his shoulders and he follows the boy who is conducting him in complete circle around the fire.
 New members go through no ini. tiation or formality. It is purely an honorary society and has no other function. At the beginning of the camp fire service the legged of Matacha is told 50 that the boys un- derstand the basis on which they are taken into the "Sons."

Frank squires of Naugatuck, a student at the Berkley Divinity school in New Haven and . gra- duate of Vale University. has been reappointed as waterfront director for the Mattatuck council, Boy Scouts of America, 1t was ar1- Iiounced by Scout executive David Babson this morning.
 Squires will have charge of oil waterfront activities at Camp Pershing on the Housatonic this summer and will assist Henry J Donofue, newly appointed assistant executive, who will be resident di- rector of the camp. Starting next week the waterfront director will take Q course at the National Red Gross Acquatic school in South Hanson, Mass. Upon completion of the course he will report directly to the summer camp.
 Judging from the manner in which scouts in the council have received the news of Mir. Squires re- appointment, 1t can be assumed that he is more than welcome and a great favorite with the scouts. Last evening when David Babson announced this news to the mem bers of the St. Thomas church troop, and when Henry Donohue an. nounced 1t to Props 2, 6 and 2 in Naugatuck, the scouts were very en- thusiastic.

in 1850, is Of brocade-gray-an IS
beautifully designed.
One of the central pieces Of the
exhibit is a red evening dress worn
by Rebecca Holmes, daughter of
Nathanial Holmes, chairman Of the
Boston Tea Party.
Most of the dresses are cut in long,
sweeping curves-far different from
the designs of today.
For the young ladies who have
bobbed hair. there will be quite some
imaginative curiosity in the headgear
known as the calash. Ine calash, it
seems, was a covering for the coiffure
of colonial ladies on their way from
home to the ballroom. There is a
calash on exhibit at Dumbarton House,
and it happens to be the calash worn
by Sally Fairfax.
Second Day Dresses Shown.
Also, such items as second day
dresses grace the exhibit. A second
day dress, it is explained by the
curator, was a dress worn on the
second day of the honeymoon. And
there is a very beautiful second day
dress at Dumbarton H0se. 1t was
part of the trousseau of the grand
daughter of King Carter.
Dumbarton House has had many
splendid exhibits in its day. but none
to equal this, so Mrs. Stephen Bonsal,
director, says-and she anticipates
that the young ladies Of Washington
will lose no time in going over the
@ Street Bridge to take peek at the
hneries of miladies OF early America.
