PRESIDENT OFFERS
NEW ENGLAND ADJ
Points to Two Solutions
of Problem in Address

HARTFORD, Conn.,, october 22.-
In a bid for the eight electoral votes
of Connecticut, which went Repub-
lican in 1882, President Roosevelt de-
clared here today that Connecticut
was a happier" State than it was
four years ago and pledged the Fed
eral Government to do its share"
toward flood control in New England.
Speaking extemporaneously before
cheering throng in Bushnell Park, the
Chief Executive said he was here in
a twofold capacity.
II am here to talk with your Of
ficials about floods" he said.
IT am here also, I am told, as a
candidate for President"
"The reason why your Government
in Washington has to keep in close
touch with the States and cities"
he said, "is the fact your river here
crosses four States: The problem of
floods involves more than one State.
Gives Two Solutions.
There are two approaches to that
problem, first by the method of CO.
operation between States-the inter-
state compact method-and I'm glad
to say the States of New England are
working together planning for the con-
troll of floods. But that method is IN
sufficient in itself.
you cannot ask the State Of Ver-
mont, for example, to pay the entire
cost of controlling the waters that
pass through Vermont. The benefits
are to come to Massachusetts, and
Connecticut"
He said the Federal Government
stood ready to do its share toward
food prevention In the future.
"Its happier Connecticut I come
Il don't particularly like figures, but
in this State employment in the city
of Hartford alone is As per cent
greater this year than it was in 1882.
Pay Rolls Increase.
Aggregate pay rolls are 80 per cent
greater than the Spring of 1888.
Twenty-three thousand workers have
been re-employed by private industry
and the pay rolls are running at the
rate of $44, ,000, 900 year more. Build
ing construction is up four times what
it was and the retail stores are selling
20 per cent more merchandise than
they sold then.
II regard the State Of Connecticut
as very much part of the Nation"
he said, adding:
II am glad that prosperity is back
with us again. And, believe me, it's
going to stay"
He concluded with a belief he would
get a telegram on the Sd of No
vember telling him the State of Con-
necticut was in the Democratic COL
umn.

Newark Newspaper Reports
American Interests May
Buy Ships From Germans.
BY the Associated Press.

.
NEWARK, N. j., October 22.-The
Newark Star Eagle said today it had
learned on good authority that Ameri-
can interests may buy from German
builders two dirigibles similar to the
Hindenburg and enter the trans
Atlantic transport field.
It is understood, the newspaper said
in a copyrighted article, that DR.. Hugo
Eckener, head of the German zep-
pelin Corp, and his associates have
presented the proposal to Department
of Commerce officials and certain
commercial interests during recent
weeks.
The Germans, it was said. plan to
build three sister ships of the Hin
denburg, which made 10 round-trip
flights between Germany and Lake
hurst this Summer.
The Germans, under the plan out
lined, would keep the Hindenburg and
one of the other ships. The trans
Atlantic service would be operated
with four airships jointly by the Ger
mans and the American interests.

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,

PITTSBURGH, Pa, October 22.-
The Democrats are riding high and
handsome in this western metropolis
Of Pennsylvania.
And why wouldn't they? They have
a registration of voters 10000 stronger
than the Republicans in Allegheny
County. which includes the city. They
have the Offices, State, county and
Federal, with few exceptions. They
have-as they believe-the support Of
a great body of voters on relief, either
direct or P. w. A. In September the
number of families on direct relief
alone in Pittsburgh was $4,000. And
they have-as they insist-the huge
majority of steel and iron workers
with them, not to mention other la

The Democrats predict they viii

happen. He scouts the idea that the
Democrats will take the county by
half that figure. Much hangs on the
outcome.

It's a tough job the Republicans
are facing in this city, which at one
time was in the grip of the G. o. p.
Back in 1892, when the anti-Hoover
! drive was on, Roosevelt carried Allie
gheny County by $1,000 votes. Two
years later. when Santa Claus was
unloading his pack, Gov. Earle had
the county over his Republican op-
ponent by lead of $4,000. Is Roose-
velt as strong over Landon today as
Earle was in 1884 over Schnader2
Some say he is and others are not SO
confident.
The change in the party registra.
ton In four years time has been
startling. In 1892 the Republican
registration was 425 900 and the Demo.

meant little in 1882, for on election
day Roosevelt ran off with lead OF
$1,000 in this county. Presumably,

CARDINAL PACELL|
PAYS VISIT TO c. j.
Vatican's Leading Adviser
Calls for Realization of
Spiritual Values.

In a progress Of great significance
for Catholics in the United States,
the scarlet-cloaked papal secretary of
state, Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, today
moved about Washington before ad-
miring throngs who knelt as he
passed.
The cardinal, who Is outranked in
hierarchical importance only by Pope
Piux XII, began his day in Washing
ton by blessing America before $500
archbishops, bishops, monsignors,
priests. monks. nuns, learned Catholic
men and students in the gymnasium
Of Catholic University.
The vatican's most influential ad-
wiser called for q new realization Of
the importance of things spiritual in
the United States. and he said of the
young Catholics Of this country:
They must not rest until the
church develops into a mighty light
house, Illuminating all the activity Of
this old, great country. In whose pres
ent and past the Holy Father has an
especial interest arising from his love
for America"
Jeweled Ring Sparkles.
As he spoke. he gesticulated with
his right hand and the light in the
ceiling of the gymnasium brought
brilliant refractions from the large
emerald and diamond ring he wore on
his index finger. On his head was a
scarlet skull cap. and from his
shoulders to the floor flowed silken
scarlet cape to indicate his status as a
prince of the church.
The Catholic University grounds re-
sembled an Italian city on feast day
when the cardinal left the gymnasium.
White-robed Dominicans, brown-cas-
socked Franciscans and hundreds Of
other religious representatives from
the other 30 priestly and monastical
orders affiliated with the university
crowded at the heels of his eminence
as he strode toward the Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception.

SATISFACTION UNC0NDITI0NALLY
GUARANTEED!

THE Shull Heating Corp. feels that
the day is coming when every pur-
chaser of automatic heat-whether gas
or oil-will demand a written money
back guarantee Of satisfaction. This is
the basis on which the Shull Heating
Corporation now sells McIlvaine Con
slant Flame" Oil Burners and this is
the basis on which McIlvaine has been
sold for six years here in Washington.
Not one McIlvaine has ever been re-
moved from a Washington home be-
cause of the owners dissatisfaction.
Yet every owner has had a three
months trial period, during which time
he was the sole judge of satisfactory
operation including (a) heating condi-
tions, ID fuel consumption. (c) me-
chanical operation.
The McIlvaine Constant Flame" Oil
Burner is the only heating equipment
which has been sold on this basis be-
cause it is the only heating equipment
so soundly designed that it is possible
to make this guarantee.
McIlvaine operates constantly with
modulated throttle flame" instead Of
popping ION and of, on and off," thou
sands of times year. Thus Mc1lvaine
keeps a constant, even heat and costs
from 10 to $50 less to operate than
other oil burners of the "On-and-On"
type. Just as "Stop and Go" driving is
wasteful and inefficient, so are "On and
OF" oil or gas burners. Engineering
authorities long ago have decided that
the "On and on" method is baSical!y
wrong, but because Mc1lvalne holds
