The reason the company can dare
the insurance offer is because the keys
are made with such precision that one
thousandth Of an inch variation in
their manufacture would sacrifice their
own underwriters policy, 50 the keys
are most exact pieces Of work. There
are $4,000 variations Of the cuttings
possible in the ordinary lock key, but
10000, 900 in this finely machined key.
It isn't likely Mr.. Burglar would be
able to find the right key for lock
opened with such complicated mech
anism as this!
Burglars seldom tamper with locks
that are hard to open, according to
the manufacturers Of the pick-proof
lock. Six houses were entered and
robbed recently in one street OF a
Long Island town. Investigation
showed that all had back doors
equipped with "bit-key" locks. A Bit
key lock opens with one Of those
skinny. long g-handled keys OF which
there are only four types. The bur-
glars apparently had all four, found
the one that fit, walked in. When they
came to house with its hard-to-open
back lock, they simply skipped it and
went on to its neighbor.
Bit-key locks have to Be replaced
before the manufacturer Of pick-proof
locks will give the insurance policy,
but he will gladly rebuild a lock made
by another manufacturer, if 1t IS Of the
tumbler variety.
Another thing you can do-with .
houseful of pick-proof locks-is have
one key to open them all-the front
door, the back, the garage, your car,
your desk, the wine cellar, etc. We
saw one key open II different locks,

r VOW safe Is your house when
you lock it up for the night?
Not, we wager, as safe as
Il L you think it is. For no mat
ter how many locks you have on your
doors, unless they are especially de-
signed against burglars, they can be
picked, probably with ease.
Very few locks offer any real re-
sistance to the operation of set Of
skeleton keys or the manipulation Of
cheap set of simple lock- picking
tools. The incest houses sometimes
have the poorest locks, for people
just are not 'lock- k-conscious" until
it is too late
Why not treat your doors to locks
which are insured against picking
by famous British insurance COM
pany? There is lock company
which will come and replace or re-
build all the locks in your house and
then give you an insurance policy for
500 to cover losses in the event the
locks are picked.
You won't need to buy all new
locks either, since this company puts
new cylinders in old locks which are
still good for as little as $3.50 per
lock. It's in the cylinder the weak
ness of locks lies. The insurance ap-
plies to the remade locks as well as
the new ones. New locks which will
open only by means Of keys that can't
be duplicated at local hardware
store and are registered in the central
office of the lock company, which
keeps a record Of each key owner,
come as low as $3.50, including the
insurance.

Culhane Bill Passed

The senate today passed the sub- stitute for a bill of Senator George T. Culhane governing sale of as- sets of closed banks. The original Culhane bill stipulated that assets could not be sold unless 75 per cent of the depositors approved such sale. The final set-up would allow the sale when approved by depos- itors representing 75 per cent of the deposits.
 Board of Finance Increased
 The senate concurred with the house today in allowing the city of Waterbury to increase the mem bership of its board of finance. There will be eleven instead of nine members in this board after next January, thus making the board the largest appointive one in the city government. Now there are six ap- pointive members and three ex- off1cio-the mayor, controller, and president of the board of aldermen. Of the two new appointees one must be a minority member of the board of aldermen.

of Herbert Hoover in 1892.
 In 1936, it was understood, both men first favored the candidacy of IRep. James Wadsworth of New lYork for president or vice-president. A vice-chairman of the republi- lean convention which nominated lGov. Landon for president, Rora- back went to the Harwinton Hunt 1 ing Lodge Tuesday night with his son, Lewis P. Roraback. Yesterday Eafternoon, he asked his son to tel lephone Mrs. Roraback at Hartford saying they would be home in the evening.
 A Did Act Quickly
 When his son entered the lodge to phone, Dr. Hanchett said, Ro- raback walked to his car, took out a .32 caliber revolver he always kept there, and shot himself. The body Twas found by Joseph Nadeau, an employe, lying on the ground next 1 to the coupe. i a.Word spread rapidly throughout Ehe state. High officials of the re- publican party in Connecticut and 1.-the states representatives in Con- gress were shocked by the tragedy and sent tributes. Speculation was rife as to his successor as leader of the party in Connecticut. | From Rep. Wadsworth came this tribute:
 eF1is long leadership was distin- glIished by courage, skill and sound common sense. He will greatly be missed wherever republican leaders meet"
 Williams Regrets
 Ralph E. Williams, vice-chairman. senior member of the republican national committee, said:
 q have been associated with J. Henry Roraback in political mat ters for 20 years. I deeply regret his passing. The republican party and the country at large have suf- fered a great loss"
 Other tributes came from U. s.

all of the other political leaders in Connecticut during the last quarter of century. His was the power to create loyalty in his followers by associations in a joint endeaver. With his passing Connecticut loses one of it's greatest citizens"
 Governor Cross Shocked
 Governor Cross said: q am great ly shocked by the death of MT. Roraback. I have known him per- sonally ever since I became gover- nor and have at times discussed the general affairs of the state with him. I found him to be man possessed of unusual ability. His death is a great loss to Connecticut.
 House Majority Leader Noah D. SWayne declared that the state has lost a valuable citizen. Those who knew him will miss his kindness and his loyalty" he asserted.

 State Chairman Smith
 Democratic State Chairman J. Francis Smith expressed profound regret upon receiving news of Chair man Roraback's death. "The repub- lican party will. find it hard to re- place man like J.

I am indeed sorry to hear of his death at this time."

Wedding Gifts

Monts, France, May 2o.-(UP).- Wedding presents arrived at the Chateau de Cande today for the Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Wallis Warfield.
 A room was set aside for them and the others that are to come. So far there was none from any mem Der of the royal family. Gifts ranged from expensive silver to the home made offerings of peasants from the countryside.
 Acceptances are being received for the wedding June 3. Included among the acceptors, it IS understood, are the British minister to Austria, Sir Walford Selby and Lady Selby and Hugh Lloyd Thomas, minister in the British embassy at Paris, and his wife.
 The weather continued chilly and cloudy. Unable to golf because of the wet grounds, the duke plays badmin- ton daily, and under his tutelage Mrs. Warfield is becoming a good player.
 The mysterious woman who claims to be a Hungarian countess and who has pursued the Duke of Wind- sor for years, remained at Cannes, determined to see him if he passes through there. She has written scores of letters eXhorting him to remain a bachelor.
 She began annoying the duke at Cannes several years ago, and final ly was arrested.
