remains so that with new equip ment added, production of some kinds of steel could be resumed fair- ly soon.
 The silent plants with their ma rine guards are an object of great interest to people in the Kanawha valley, and on Navy. Day curious visitors are escorted through the plants under the eye of guards.
 To the casual visitor, rinversed in the intricate machinery of steel- making, the plants seem ready to produce tomorrow. Permanent buildings are more than 800 feet long, some resting on solid reinforce ed concrete Foundations set 76 feet deep to bear the heavy machinery. Chemical Products Center
 There are giant open-hearth and electric steel furnaces for. making armor plate, and other equipment for the casting of projectiles. There are huge cranes capable of handling heats of from 75 to 250 tons of mol- ten metal. All the remaining ma chinery is kept greased and in good condition.
 A thousand men worked in the plants once, and Charleston people have pricked up their ears at the sight of a possible new federal pay roll. They point out that since the war when the governments Charles ton plants were built, the Kanawha valley has also become @ great center for the chemical industry, and that the two logically 90 togeth- CT as related units in the national defense.
 Several times 1t has been pro- posed to sell these plants to private interests, but the government has always drawn back from any such agreement, despite at least two rec- ommendation by navy boards that the plants be disposed of.

TAKE
 WEIGHT OFF TIRED FEET
Lsss Fat The Easy Way Widest Starvation
 Diets, or Back Breaking, Bending and Rollin0 ExaPeisaa.

If your feet and ankles feel tired and ache ell over - because you are carrying too much fat - do something about it. Try the treatment that has helped millions to reduce excess weight.
 There's reason why 90 many people find dieting slow and often times futile In re. ducing. The reason, doctors say. is often because little gland is not working right.
 All the blood In your body goes through this tiny gland sixteen times every day. If 1t doesn't pour into the blood stream about one and onc-half drops of vital fluid every 24 hours, many people take on ugly fat. This fluid helps Nature to "burn up" excess food and fatty tissue In much the same way as . good "draft' acts In furnace.
 Now, physicians combat this condition by feeding this gland the substance 1t lacks - and millions of pounds of excess fat has been wiped out in this way.
 Marmola Prescription Tablets. are based on the same method used by doctors. So don't waste your time or money striving to reduce with starvation diets or baek-break. ing exercises. Start the Marmola treatment today that millions have used successfully to get rid of excess fat. The formula is in every box SO you know just what you gre taking. Don't wait - get . box of NaFmola today from your druggist.

Some Machinery Left

Operation, personnel and pro- duetions records were highly secret, and just what the plant could do at present is little known except to the Navy Department, which has its records of ordnance, Commander D. K. Day, in charge of the plant.
 Much of the machinery has been transferred to other naval plants, sold as junk, or otherwise disman- tied. But 1t is believed that enough

Competition ''Too Keen"

Two cabinet members have hint- ed. labor leaders have demanded, and congressman have proposed; that the government might as well dump in the four or five millions more needed to put the plants in shape, and make it's own battleship steel. a
 Naval armament races throughout the world, they argue. are getting too keen for the United States to let six destroyers and three sub marines lie on the shipbuilders' ways for lack of steel ribs and armor plating.
 The plants were built during the wartime emergency when the coun- try rang with the cry that ships will win the warl"
 The site, including 2l0 acres on the Great Kanawha river above its tssjunction with the Ohio, was do- mated to the government by patrio- tic business men,. ~
 A projectile plant was built ad- joining the arnnor plate plant, and this, actually turned out shells in early 1918. The armor plate plant was not finished until 1921, after the war, and both were shut down in 1922 when the new naval treaties put Q worldwide stop to new con- struction.

 Another indication has been found in the monthly reports of the local branch of the Connecticut State Employment Service. ThomaI I. Shea, local manager, said today that during the past two months there has been 8 decided increase in the new registrations" at the local office. Such a situation, he added, is an indication that people who formerly held jobs are now without work and are reporting to the employment office in an att tempt to find some kind of jobs.

Permanent LOca tiOn Sought Due to Increased
 Membership in Past Year

"This walking around, without touching the ground is getting to be more than a bore for the members and officers of the local civic the- ater," it was stated today by Pres- ident William w. Vosburgh. The remarks which were issued had to do specifically with the news yes- terday that alterations will be made on the building which the theater now uses as 8 workshop n Leaven- worth street and that the organiza- tion will have to move again.
 The president further stated the local theatrical unit members are getting used to moving by now (they'Ve done it several times in the past few years) but that all of them wish they could have permanent location somewhere in the central part of the city.
 He pointed out the organization survived the depression and that during the past year saw an in- crease in membership, one which will be further increased this year. "Ours is community organiza- ton, even taking in the younger children this year,, said MT. Vos- burgh today" and we'd certainly like to get located permanently after the first production of this year takes place, even if we have to come to moving all our equipment from our present location to the new one in a few days time.

Medical Evidence In
 Gilyard Case Today
Plaintiffs Physician Refutes Charges of Intemper-
 ance-Fina Arguments Expected Today

superior court today by Dr. Dudley B. Deming of the Waterbury hos- pital staff.
 Dr. Gilyard is seeking a divorce from Mrs. Ann Clinkenbeard Gil- yard, who contests the action, on grounds of cruelty and assertion. Judge Edwin o. Dickenson will hear final arguments of Attorneys Mi- chael V. Blansfeld and John L.. Gaffney, for the plaintiff and de- fendant, respectively, this afternoon. Heart Ailment
 Under examination and cross- examination, Dr. Deming testified that Dr. Gilyard is suffering from coronary thrombosis, a heart ail- ment, which could be caused "only by worry. He denied that sudden excitement" would have caused the breakdown which caused Dr. Gil- yards stay of weeks at Waterbury hospital last Dectember.
 Asked whether khe ailment could not be attributed to over- r-indulgence of alcohol the doctor replied:
 "The disease is one of the few which can be prevented by use of alcohol"
 Advised '.
 Dr. Gilyard has testified yesterday that he drank upon advice of his physician, Dr. Deming, when the question of "intemperence" was raised.
 The veterinarian alleged that "nagging, unfoundned charges of infidelity and sulkiness which caused long periods when my wife would not speak to me-" had impaired lis health. The couple separated in 1928 after Mrs. Gilyard allegedly demanded that the doctor dismiss female assistant who served as nurse and secretary at his hospital for animals. This, he said, he re- fused to do. Mrs. Gilyard, on the stand, related that she had urged the doctor to let her take care of his business office and affirmed that she was "crUshed" when he re- fused.
 Dr. Richard Gilyard, a son, tes- titled in his fathers behalf as did another son. The present Mrs. Gil- yard Is the sister of the doctors first wife, Corrina Gilyard, who died in 1923 and who bore him four sons.

Mistreated! Waterbury Poorly Managed Only Hear-Say Evi-
 dence to E.
 H. Davis.

T have been mistreated in the press," declared Edward H. Davis, vice-president of the Connecticut Merit System association, in com- menting on a quotation attrib- uted to him last night by the Wa terbury American that Waterbury has "the worst city government in the sttae".
 MT. Davis said that his remarks, made Tuesday at a meeting of the Meriden Rotary club, had been lifted from their proper context. He had been discussing the merit system, he said, and the possibil- ities of placing 1t into operation in Connecticut cities and towns.
 He would not commit himself on the efficiency of the Meriden city government, he said he told the Rotarians, but commented that he had been told" that Waterbury was poorly managed. He made 1t clear, he said, that he did not attribute that opinion to himself, put was mercy reCoulI1tlB WLldO had been told to him.
 There was no reporter present at the meeting, MT. Davis said to- day, and the quotation attributed to him must have been secured by The American in roundabout fashion. He did not authorize any quotation of his remarks, he said, and felt 1t extremely unfor- tunate that the real theme of his address had been neglected, while one remark, removed from its proper context, had been empha- sized.
 "It appears to me-" said MT. Davis, that I have been made the victim of ineptitude."
