By T. B. WINDROSs


 Edmonton, Alta, Feb. 8-Alborta'S first "social credit" legislature, elected to support Premier William Aborhart's plan to provide S2O c month for every adult, convened to. day to face protesting delegations of citizens who have been waiting six months for their first credits and do not see them in sight yet,
 The province is heavily in debt There b little change that the legislature will Dc able to do any. thing concrete toward putting the social credit plan into effect Nevertheless, the economic aspects of the program made the conven- Ing of the legislature an event Of intense national interest. rivalllng that in the opening ct Ottawa to. day of the liberal national parlia. ment elected in October. In Ot- tawa, chief interest centered on prospective controversy over ratiii- cation of the new trade agreement with the United States.
 It was in August that Aberhart, former school teacher and evangel. ist, was swept into power in Al. berta on his vote-catching social credit platform. Tn the legislature, which was elected ct the same time but which has not met until today. he controls 50 of the 63 seats. The new premier promised:
 1. To provide basic dividcnds' Of a2h month to every adult citlzcn.

Social Credit Premier Has Fallen Dotvn On Promises

and lesser amounts to juveniles, the dividends to be in the form of credit to provide for necessities such as food, clothing and shelter.
 2. To contrive q price control sys- tenn to fix as Just price" for goods and services.
 3. To provide a continuous flow Of credit.
 So far Aberhart has been able to do nothing to put his program into effect and has asked the people to "stop your confounded grumbling." :" At the time Of his election, he said it would take at least 10 months to start it, but many people already are tired Of waiting. Delegations are being formed in many sections Of the province to converge on the leg. islature and demand that dividends be paid forthwith.
 No money Is In sight to make the payments. Banks have refused the province further loans. A few weeks ago the province was forced to bor- row S2,000,0O0 from the national government to meet maturing loans, No feasible plan has been advanced to raise the $ii.250.00C that would be needed monthly to pay tho divi- dcnds. Hence 1t Is probable the gov- ernmcnt this session will seek only enabling" iegiglation that would provide . basis for inauguration of the social credi. program when sound financial foundation has been laid and chances for success arc bright" aS ono leader put it.

Trenton, N. J., Feb. 6-tUP)- Some of Bruno Richard Haupt. mann's evil fortune rubbed o!f on Coy. Harold c. Hoffman today.

BRIDES, CROOMS OBEYINC LAWS New Edict on Blood Tests Have Had Little Effect
 in Waterbury

Waterburians have become re- cotciled to the new state law re- uui5ing blood tests before the issu- ance of marriage licenses. In fact, marriage license figures for January here show, the city was one of the few outstanding communities h Ccnnecticut that showed no reluc- tance On the part of It's prospective brides end gr0oms to go through with the new regulations. Last month there were % marriage li- censes issued by Town Clerk Dora A. Egan. Tn January of 1884 there were go licenses Issued.
 Other. Towns Decrease
 Many cities and towns in the state, however, showed Q great dropping of in the number of mar riage licenses applied for in Janu- ary. Greenwich, for instance, issued 67 marriage licenses in January of 1036 and only % last month. Hart ford had a total of 80 for January, 1885, and issued only 46 last month, In Derby and Manchester last month nobody applied for licenses although there were licenses issued in both communities in January of last year. Tn New Haven, New Bri- tain and Meriden there was Q de. crease of slightly less than 60 per cent under the 1884 figure and in New London only two applications were filed last month as against ! total of 17 for January, 1884.

 In 1883 the general assembly ape pointed Q temporary commission to study the acoustics in the hail of the house of representatives. There were complaints of too many echoes in the oval ceilinged room.
 The commission decided the best way to relieve the situation was to drop the ceiling couple of feet, and 50 reported to the i036 legisla- ture.
 The iO3b session in turn appoint. ed special commission to carry out the findings of the 1883 group.
 Discord crept In when the 1883 body decided the 1858 commission twas oil wet" and the best way to get rid of an echo was to put in new walls and hang heavy curtains and carpets.
 Today the commission wanted the finance board to put up the money for the furnishings.
 Board members raised the ques. ton whether the i03b commission was compelled to carry out the de. cision of the previous commission, or whether it could make It's own analysis of the echo condition.
