 AMONG VICTIMS

Boston, April 29-(UP)-Claire Windsor, star of the silent films, was listed today as one of the prin- cipal victims of an alleged $165, 5,000 oil swindle reported to have oper- ated here.
 Local officers of the securities and exchange commission, Investigating, were told that the actress was per- suaded through transcontinental telephone calls to invest $16,800 in ail royalties.
 It was understood that a Fall River physician and a Taunton busi- ness man also were among the vic tims. Joseph A. Lincoln, Boston broker, said that it was he who "sold" Miss Windsor, but that at the time he believed it good in- vestment. Miss Windsor allegedly paid $2,8O0 per unit for leases with a market price of $550. '

Father Grimley's topic will be an absorbing subject at this particular time, "The Spanish Conflict" and those who have already had the good fortune to hear this speaker state that his subject matter, knowl- edge of same and presentation of facts to be the finest and most com polling they have ever heard. He speaks, it is said, with authority and has first-hand information. His knwoledge, also, of Spanish, has helped him in his study of the Spanish situation. His seminary days were spent in Spain, and not only is he familiar with and knows the Spanish people, but is most well informed on the history of the race.
 Waterbury has been fortunate in securing Dr. Grinley because his talks in this country are limited. It is very seriously urged that all members of the local council of women and their friends attend the meeting next Wednesday night which is open to the general public, both men and women. All are in- vited and urged to attend as it is certain Dr. Grimleys talk in this

Hutzler of New Haven, state Su- perviSor. This action today marked the end of a survey which started here about three weeks ago in con- nection. with the number of "em- ployables" on the local roles.
 All the men went. to work innme- diately this morning at several of the local outside projects and the women were assigned to the sewing project. The addition of the new members to the local personnel brings the total of Waterbury WPA workers up near the 800 mark once again, it was estimated this morn ing.
 Five Absentees.
 Five persons failed to report at the department of welfare offices this morning. Two of these persons had already forwarded letters to the de- partment stating that they had se- cured private employment since last week and would be unavailable for WPA but no word at all was heard by department workers from the other three.
 The placing of Waterbury work CTS today is part of a statewide plan of the works progress administra- tion to put as many "employable' persons now on relief roles as pos sible to work. It is estimated by Robert Hurley, state administrator, that some 2100 Connecticut people will be added to the WPA during the course of this week, or as soon afterwards as it is possible to attend to the clerical work in connection with distributing assignment slips.

Early Planted Vans Make
Heavier Yield.

Sweet potato plants set in the field
before the middle of June will pro-
duce tetter yams and heavier acre
yields, g IL =. , WATSON, extension
horticulturist at State College.
When planted early, he explained,
they have the benefit of a long grow
ing season, and they usually have a
chance to get fairly well established
in the ground before extremely hot,
dry weather sets in.
The crop will be improved if it re-
ceives a good grade of commercial
fertilizer containing three per cent
nitrogen, eight per cent phosphoric
acid, and eight per cent potash ap-
piled with a drill at the rate of 800 to
1900 pounds per acre.
Two-thirds of the nitrogen should
come from inorganic sources and one
third from organic sources. The pot
ash should be derived from muriate
or sulphate of potash Watson stated.
Stable manure should not be used
unless it is we'll rotted and can be
broadcast at least a month before
planting time
Disease-free seedlings should be
planted in clean soil, if possible. If
the soil is infested with stem rot or
wilt, treat the seedlings with Semesan
or dip the roots and stems in 2020-50
Bordeaux mixture, said DR.. r. F.
Poole, plant pathologist.
He warned that Bordeaux mixture
may injure the plants unless used
with caution. Treat only freshly dug
seedlings, and set them out imme-
diately after they are dipped. Then
water the plants at once.
Or the seedlings may be busted
with a mixture of 25 per cent mono
hydrated copper sulphate and rs per
cent lime.
