''Old Guard" Seeking
 Opponent For McNeil
COnnery of NOrwalk Seen as Wavering-May Not Op-
 pose Choice of Cummings gs-FtzgeraId Mentioned

U. s. Attorney General Homer s. Cummings open declaration that he will support National Committee man Archibald McNeil of Bridge port for reelection has caused a wide upset in the plans of the "old guard" to oust McNeil and replace him with Paul R. Connery of Norwalk. Con- fronted with Attorney Cummings unqualified opposition, Connery has now begun to waver with the result that the "old guard may have to look around for another candidate for the McNeil post.
 The fact that Attorney General Cummings and Connery both come from Fairfield county and have been closely associated in politics in the past is said to have some- thing to do with the Norwalk mans sudden unwillingness to come out in the open and face a battle with the well known member of President Roosevelt's cabinet. McNeil is also resident of Fairfield county.
 FitzGerald Mentioned
 oont knoW II l want the post" this is Connery's latest statement. Needless to say "old guard" leaders who have been grooming him for the post are very much disappoint- ed. Connery once more expressed his willingness to defer to ex-Mayor David E. FitzGerald of New Haven. If he wants it, I'm for him-abso- lutely," he said.

.raasury against S3aa .o48.
Textiles rose with general business

treasury against $339,048.
 Textiles rose with general business improvement. Paper, velvet, cotton and thread mills in Montville, Gro- ton, Mystic and Stonington contrib uted to the second largest regional advancement since 1880.
 In New London alone textiles made 8 14.29 per cent gain despite the fact that large bed quilting factory moved to Fitchville, near Norwich. The removal affected about 150 employees. Approximately 200O persons are employed at New Lon- don and adjacent towns in the tex tile trades, as compared with 1760 in 1930.
 At Mystic, the home of Rossi Vel- vet, employers of 300 workers, and at Stonington, the textile employ ment figure has risen from 800 in 1880 to 75O at present. Other indus tries in the territory employ about 200 persons. Property used in man. ufacture of all kinds is valued at about $360, 900. There are nine plants at Stonington.
 Montville, while somewhat devot- ed to textiles, is principally a paper manufacturing town. About 1900 are employed and survey showed this figure has been consistent over a period of years. The Gair Thames Containers Company employs the largest number, about 800. Their property is valued at well over $2,- GOO, 900 and the concern is the towns largest taxpayer.
 Aside from the Gair Corporation there are seven other mills at Montville. All report normal or bet ter than normal business.
 Manufacturing property at New London and Groton is valued at more than $3,50000O and the em- ployment slack has been taken up to a normal level.
 The only other section of the state where there is uncertainty over the fate of the textiles, is at Rockville and Manchester. Both have been hard hit, especially the Manchester area which was beset by series of strikes and the ensuing reorganization of the Cheney Mills.

C0nfreence Held
 It has been learned, Dr. Godfrey and health officials of the other larger cities of Connecticut met in Hartford with State Dairy and Food Commissioner E. G. Woodward and discussed the problem of extending protection further for the various local areas and also of preventing much overlapping of work which is now occurring between state and local inspectors.
 Tn other words, Milk and Food Inspector Peter T. Keeley of this city inspects dairies and farms in the vicinity of Waterbury and also the milk plants within the city State inspectors do the same, there by bringing about e duplication o1 effort.
 Under the new index which has been proposed the lack of coordina- ton now very apparent will be elim- inateS and more efficiency will re- suit, it is claimed. Dr. Godfrey will meet with other health officials of the state in Hartford next We'd nesday.

There really s such Q thing As over-dolns grooming, especially when one h very young. This doesn't imply that indifferent make- up, tousled hair and unpollshed nails are virtues. It simply means that the happy medium in groom. inc aA in everything else, is the best goal to aim ak
 The girl with hair which shrlOks the fact that she just visited tho beauty shop, eyebrows plucked and penclled into the thinest of thin, uanatural-lOoking lines and hands that look as though they never touch anything except manicure tools, has defeated her purpose.
 Instead of improving her natural assets, meanwhile keeping within the bounds of good taste, she has lot her grooming tricks hide her lovellness. No one stops to remark about the sparkle in her eyes or the SntnluB QuaHJy OL ner nulr. OuS~ metics and grooming details detract from these.
 You shouldn't leg 30 fer behind the mode of the moments that you stamp yourself as c "has been," But neither should you keep 30 far ahead of the crowd that all eyes turn your way In utter amusement, of, worse yet, amusement.
 1t always Is important to remeYli. ber that freshness and Q healthy, pleasant look are most pleasing, Have your hair waved, curled and swirled all you like, but don't let anyone pose Q strange bird or Q handful of vegetables in 1t. Mani- cure and polish your nails, of course. But why shape them into inch-lone points or cover them with Q strange, reddish purple laequerS
 Have your eyebrows plucked and shaped beconlingly, but don't shave them off and pencil in . fresh set. Wear powder enough, rouge to make you look healthy, and plenty
