As he leaned over to knock some ashes from his pipe, the chair toppled over and Student fell through the open doorway. He sustained c compound fracture Of the clavicle and four fractured ribs.
 Had no agreement been reached, Commissioner Lynch would have been called on for Q highly techni- cal ruling, since the case had sev- eral disputable aspects.

|CLAFFEY CASE
 COMES UP SOON
State Referee to Hear Claim Before Return to
 Superior COur {

Waterbury's test case to secure c definition Of the word restaurant As used in the liquor control act will be brought up again before Judge Isaac Wolfe, state referee, and after Q further finding of fact, will return to the superior court. This will leave the way clear for taking the matter to the state supreme court Of errors, which this week dee clined to rule on the case because of the absence of certain facts.
 The test case Is that of Edward Claffey against the state liquor coIl- trol commission. The commission refused to give Claffey Q restaurant license for his establishment on the Merlden road, on the grounds that hot meals were not served ct regu- lar hours twice daily, as the princi- pal business of the place. Claffey contested the ruling, claiming that his place was Q restaurant in the meaning of the law.
 Judge Wolfe, when asked for c finding of factsAruled that the state law covering licensing of restau. rants for sale of liquor was ambig- uous and misleading. This left the way clear for bringing the matter before the highest court in the state but that Q group declined Q ruling this week.
 The case is of statewide import ance since there will be no defini- ton of restaurant, in terms of the meaning of the liquor control act, until the highest court has given Q decision.

Police Investigating Evident Carelessness
 Of Auto Owners
Streets BIocladed By SnOw.COvered Machines; Many NOtMOved Since January l0-lndliierence of Many
 Startles Fire, Police Officials Arrests Intlmated

Cars which have been parked along the city streets some of them standing since the heavy storm oi Jan. 18th, are declared by police and fire of1lclals to be Q dangerouE hazard, and police today began c weekend drive to clear the streets Of vehicles which have been parked so as to ohstruct trafrce and cause dangerous trafnc situations.
 More than 0 few cars have re. mained parked at the same spots for weeks and with succeeding snow- storms have made the work oe clear. ing the streets more difacult. Flows have been unable Go get even within striking distance of the curb In many cases, and the parked cars are up to their doors In snow.
 Abandoned
 Cars left outdoors and neglected by their owners since last month, have caused great congestion on many streets and have created definite fro hazards. These cars have 80 blocked some streets that eAA S0oV VA tAASp WbRWk0S WOUt0 Aaot only have difnculty in reaching the scene but might become involved in costly traffic jams.
 Dangerous situations exist on many streets. Chestnut avenue is one street cited by flremen. Baldwin street is another. Even downtown streets, such as Grand street and Bank street, have seen many tie- ups during recent weeks, principally becatse of cars parked outdoors and left by the owners when the snow came.
 Check.Up Started
 Policemen on street and trafflc duty have spotted the offending autos, and their owners will be or- dered during the weekend to move them or take 0 summons to court. Scores of cars have remained stand- ing at the curb on many streets since the storm of January l0th, o month ago tomorrow. Some of them will have to be lowed away, after being subjected to heavy snow and Q month of consistently freezing temperatures.
 The city has been fortunate in the past month, firemen say, in having no serious fires, for in responding to alarms fire apparatus has been held up time after time. And the cars left neglected by the owners are named as one of the principal reasons for this situation.

Using during the first five months
of 1886 continued to register sub
Stantial gains over a year ago.
From an analysis of national
and retail advertising budgets,
which are generally based on a
percentage of the sales figure, it
is apparent that these increased
expenditures are not Stepped-up
appropriations intended to stimu-
late trade artifically, but rather
the natural result of rising sales,
according to the Standard Stats
tics Company, which adds:
Newspaper space sales aided
by substantial increase in re-
tail advertising during the past
few months, have scored a ma
terial increase. Lineage for the
first five months was rs per
cent greater than in 1885.
Both magazine and news
paper advertising lineage, at
their seasonal peak in April,
were the largest since 1881.
Despite these gains, however,
both were still about 81 per cent
below their 1929 peaks, and on
a dollar basis slightly further
below record levels"

NEW BUSINESS
GAINS SEEN

That the recovery Of business
which began three years ago has
not yet been completed and that
there is no better place for long
term employment of funds than
in honestly managed, competently
operated American business enter
priSeS which have a period OF
growth ahead of them, is the
major premise reached in a Mid
Year Appraisal of Business and Sc
curity Market Prospects" prepared
for E. A. Pierce & Co. by the
Standard Statistics Company.
The volume of American bust
ness has held up surprisingly well
so far this year in the face of
many uncertainties and impedi-
ments. With relative stability and
an only reasonably satisfactory
level of activity, corporation prof
it's have continued to increase, so
that secondquarter profits are eS-
timated at from 40 per cent to so
per cent greater than those Of the
first three months.
In the face of these two factors
bearing on security prices, the fail
ure of common stocks to have
given a more enthusiastic re-
Spouse in the past five months is
explained by the fact that by the
beginning of 1886 a vast amount
of the good news had already
found it's expression in stock
prices. Relatively. stock prices ad-
vanced considerably more rapidly
than business activity from the
trough of the depression in 1888,
and the past few months have
seen a reasonable pause to give
business activity a chance to
catch up.
That the restraints which have
caused the capital goods indus
tries to lag behind customers
goods are not insuperable is indi-
Gated by the gratifying progress
made by the heavier industries
during the past half year. This
very SlownesS in getting under
way tends to accentuate the vast
deficits in capital goods to be sup
piled by future production. It is
inevitable that requirements must
ultimately be made in any modern
industrial establishment, unless a
permanent change has come over
our economy, according to the sur
Vey.
