 Trucks splashed over pool dotted highways between New England and Hartford with loads of food, medi- cines and camp cots all night.

 Governor Seeks Funds
 Gov. Wilbur L. Cross led a delega- tion to Washington to ask for be- tween $5,000,00O and $10,000,000 of federal funds for rehabilitation. Hartford, Middletown, Portland and smaller villages down the whole course of the Connecticut were dam aged far beyond their power to re- cuperate unaided. Forty square blocks of Hartford were under water Friday. Stores of the main business district lost most of their stocks and hundreds of homes will be uninhab- itable until the water recedes, foun. dations are repaired, the buildings are cleaned and fumigators have traversed the entire district.

Attempts of local police and
town officials to halt construc-
ton of multiplefamily dwellings
in sections of Takona Park
zoned for one-family houses, was
aided here last night when two
persons drew fines when they
faced Judge Herman c. Heffner,
in police court. on charges of VIC
lating coming regulations,
A fine of $50 and costs was
imposed on John M. Phillips for
violating the coming regulations
Of the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
and an additional fine Of $25
and costs on charge Of altering
plans for building work after
they had been approved by the
building inspector.
A fine of $50 and costs was i'm
posed on A. w. Aldersan for coming
violation. C. Bunker Hill was also
fined $25 and costs for violating
the building regulations.
The warrants were obtained by
Roy P. Frye, building inspector Of
Takoma Park, who declared it had
become a practice in recent years
for property owners to install
kitchens, bathrooms and other
equipment in one-family dwellings
to provide quarters for additional
families. This practice, he charged,
violates the intent of the coming
regulations designed to protect re-
stricted residential areas.

PASTORS HERE
OPPOSE BAN
ON SERMONS

Washington clergy agreed there
is a need for improvement in the
types of sermons preached by some
pastors. but refused to agree with
the Rev. DR.. Frederic S. Fleming
rector of Trinity Church, New
York, that there should be a two
year moratorium on all church
sermons.
DR.. Fleming's recommendation
to this effect was contained in g
preface to the year book anc
register of Trinity's parish.
The New York pastors proposal
was characterized by Canon Ray
mond Wolden, of the Episcopa
Cathedral here, as IAN extreme
statement" but he added
81 believe DR.. Fleming is max.
ing a very extreme statement to
call attention to the need for
improvement in modern day
preaching. l do not think his
moratorium proposal a really
practical suggestion, but his
assertion concerning the need
for improvement is timely"
From Rev. Homer A. Kent, OF
the First Brethren Church, came
the following comment:

viewpoint, hOugh some
preaching is far away from the
Word If God. Some of the

be a moratorium of any kind on
all sermons, but declared:

CHINESE MODE SEEN
IN PARIS FASHIONS

China put an oriental sign on the
new spring mode shown in 1885
fashion displays.
Chinese lacquer red appeared in trim
mings, Chinese motifs marked belt
buckles and Chinese figures were
stamped on prints.
Many black afternoon frocks were
designed along simple, highnecked lines,
suggestive of oriental suavity. Some
black dinner frocks were topped by
knee-length coats of flower printed black
cire silk, whose cut showed Chinese
inspiration.
A slender silhouette, high neckline
and accented shoulderline, marked by
big topped sleeves gathered into the
armhole. distinguish the Paris profile

attention at the front, thus the new
flower treatments repeat and repeat.
While we started out telling of the
tininess Of some of the new hats, please
do not conclude that every new spring
model has been reduced to postage
stamp size. On the contrary some of
the smartest numbers on the style pro-
gram have brims. Shallow-crowned
sailors are all the go, especially the
Breton types which are shown in felt
or stitched silk, and the latest swag-
ger note is the Breton made of gay
patent leather. Then, too, the hat with
a visor made of silk, quilted or stitched,
is very popular. Young girls are
charmed with the idea of the new
Rose of the Ranch" hat with its wide
round rolled-up brim and that which
captures fancy most of all, its chin
strap Of fancy cord. Also in this class
is the new Argentina type which like
wise boasts a chin strap. AS to the
new swagger soft mannish felts, their
vogue is assured.
