A Streamline age. The visit to Waterbury this week of the New Haven roads latest streamned train was an epoch in local railroad history There have been many such. |. . And there are always dates that Old.timers recall In history locally. They date certain events by the old station down Bank Street. familiar to hundreds at period of Waterbury his. tory, now but memory to but few. The building of the Union station was another landmark So was the parallelng of the old New England and the New Haven lines.

 His wife showed mo about the tiny home. The modern kitchen was her joy -- next Co the biz basement.

 Roosevelt CashOs In
 At Q corner grocery store and gas station I talked to on old man who'd come over for 0 can of salmon. ''Landons oil right, but it don't look to me as if he's had experience enough" he allowed. Farmers around here do Q lot of kicking but most of 'em Is glad enough to get that government money. They're going to vote for Roosevelt because they want some more of It."
 In Omaha one of the wisest, non. partisan observers in the whole middle west had this to say: "Tho Norris influence Is still powerful in Nebraska. It'll he enough to pull Roosevelt through. Then the drouth will help him. The feed and seed loans, the di- rect relief and the special WPA jobs, and the cattle help will all work for Roosevelt"
 A taxi driver in omaha struck different note. "Lots of us working people have turned against Roosevelt on account Of the high cost ot food" he explained.
 Down in Lincoln, with the lofty and beautiful new capitol huild- ing rearing It's proud head high above tho flat prairies, I talked for threo hours with . political writer who travels Q great deal over the whole state. He was Q Roosevelt man and his words must h0 read with that fact in mind. He said: "Tho drouth makes Nebraska sure for Roosevelt. It may take an. other month to stop tho drift that has set In towards Eandon, but it'll Do checked. You can't argue with c man whose starving livestock are being saved by federal feee.

A. & P. CONVICTED
FOR SHORT WEIGHT
$50 Fine Assessed by Judge J. P.
McMahon-22 Other Charges
Are Pending.

The Great Atlantic g. Pacific Tea
Co., found guilty January "a on a
charge of giving short weight. was
fined $50 by Judge John P. Mcmahon
in Police Court today.
The company was charged in the
complaint with selling two chickens to
Mrs. Helen Ex!ey at the company
store at 5000 Connecticut avenue at
a weight greater than they actually
weighed.
Attorneys for the A. g. P Co. i'm
mediately presented for filing a bill
of exceptions of Is pages. in which
they set forth reasons why they should
not have been convicted. The attor-
neys also came to court armed with
a nine-page petition for a writ of
error in the District Court of Appeals.
The principal contention on which
the application and bill of exceptions
are based is that the offense, If any,
was an error in computation rather
than in weight. Another exception
is based on the contention that the
act was committed prior to the change
in the jury law which now permits
District employees to serve in cases
where the District is involved.
Supt. George M. Roberts of the
Bureau of Weights and Measures. said
today he will ask the Office of the
Corporation counsel to press for i'm
mediate hearings on the remaining %
charges of short weight against the
company The first trial of charge
against the company resulted in a
verdict of not guilty.
