 Here Seeking Bonus
Halfway Mark in Total Number of EIigibes Bellevel
 Reached-Over Million Dollars Involved

The latest figures from the Red Cross and American Legion offices show that the average amount paid on bonus applications will be Q little over six hundred dollars. Mp to last night the Red Cross, according to figures released by Mrs. Edith Ladd, have taken care of 54l appli- cations totaling SS4O,000. This shows an average of about $620. The American Legion headquarters have handled 525 applications to date for a total of $3l4,O00. These figures, according to Robert Birt and Harley Dennison, in charge of applications at the Legion home, indicate an average of about $596. From these two average amounts @ general average of about $6ll is clearly in- dicated.
 Million Mark
 The present trend of applications, with Q total of $660,000 from the Legion and Red Cross headquarters, plus an approximate figure of $20O,- UUV 1EOktl tkAG W r. w. GkAN uAAhCC Division headquarters clearly points out the fact that the total of one million dollars is not far from be- ing realized. The V. F. w. head- quarters have handled about 300 applications and though no accur- ate figures are available, 1t can be deducted from the figures of the other two headquarters, that they have about the same average.
 MT. Birt pointed out this morn ing that unless an organization has been in existence for more than two years, the applications emanating from said offices have been rejected at Newington. These rejected appli- cations, however, will be taken care of in any of the three local head quarters.

JAIL FARM URGED
 BY OFFS GUEST
Joseph A. Hackett Sees It as Solving Delinquency
 in Connecticut

A Jail Farm as Q means of solv- ing delinquency in the state was ad- vocated by Joseph A. Hackett, for- mer senator, at meeting of the O-Fe's at the Central Y last night. He spoke of the Indiana Jail Farm as an outstanding example of what can be done. After few years of operation this institution is almost self-supporting due to the useful occupation of the prisoners.
 MT. Hackett advocated the county jails as 0 place for holding prison CTS preliminary to their trial in the county. As operated at present they serve as breeding places for crime as the youth or minor offender is confined with the more hardened criminals.
 He spoke of the work of the spe- cial commission in this state inad- vocating the Jail Farm and referred to Prof. Jerome Davis of Yale and Justice William Maltbie of our su- preme court as being strongly in favor of @ Jail Farm in our state. Max Mueller, president of the club, introduced MT Hackett.

Tomorrow night, after some three or four weeks of intensive prepara- ton, the student body and the fac- ulty of Leavenwcrth high school will take Q definite step. towards the re alixation of putting football team on the field next fall when they band together in Wilby gymnasium and present their Football Carni- val to the populace of Waterbury.
 At the present time, with the ad- vance ticket sale indicating on at- tendance of 1,600, and with the gena eral hustle of final arrangements, 1t is safe to say that both students and members of the faculty have temporarily ceased to exist in any scholastic fashion. Up until Wed- nesday night they will think only in terms of the carnival.

to be given here and no end of credit can be given to those associa- ted with the affair for the work they have done in making the thing possible. John J. Dillon, president of the athletic council, since the idea was first given impetus by Louis F. Laun, has worked unceas- inHly towards making 1t success.

O'Neil and Miss Elizabeth, Brophy, there is also due a great deal of credit. The success of the affair appears to be e fact. and now, two years after the idea was first introduced, it is not rash to predict the supporters of the technical school will have Q football team to root for next year.

New automobile license plates of
the City of Henderson will go on sale
at the office of the city clerk on De-
cember Is, which is understood to be
the same date the new State tags will
be offered to the public, it was stat
ed today by City Clark S. B. Burwell.

ceived, and are of the same design
and color as the 1887 State license
plates.
The back ground is of black and
the numerals and letters are of a
bright yellow.
The new tags, as is the case with
those for 1896, the first year the city
ever had a license tag; will be uni
formly priced at one dollar for all
motor vehicles. The numbers start at
1,OO1. For the 1896 plates to date a

quired by the city. The State sells two
plates, one for the front and one for
the rear of the car.

ROSE TO ENLARGE
STORE At OXFORD
Will Have 8O-Foot Front,
Largest Front In Entire
Chain

Plans have been made by the Rose
5-1O-25c Stores Company to enlarge
their Oxford store by one-half of it's
present capacity, according to an
nOuncement at the home office here
today by r. w. Bruin, an executive
of the company One of the outstand-
expansion will be a street frontage Of
80 feet, which will be the widest of
any store in the company's system.
The Oxford store was No. 2 in the
chain, being the first to be opened by
P. H. Rose after he had established
his initial adventure in this city in
the spring of 1915. Modest quarters
were occupied at that time, but in
crease in the business necessitated
enlargement and an adjacent build
ing was acquired. Even that has now
been outgrown and the building next
to the present quarters has been
leased for long period.
The new addition will not be avail
able until December 81. After that
time work will begin in remodeling
and the entire project will be oc-
cupied as soon in the spring as alter
ations can be made.
An entire new front will be INSTALL
ed, together with new fixtures, and
the partition wall between the pres
ent building and the new quarters will
be removed. New lighting fixtures will
also be put in throughout the store.
The Rose company already has 81
stores in operation in five southern
states. Two more will be opened in
the next few weeks to make SO, and
it is hoped that the Tooth store in
the chain can be launched before
Christmas, although that is not yet
a certainfV.
