Brothers Company, which is in the almost completed process of receivership,
 Attorney N. R. Bronson com- pleted quit. claim deeds on the property, in favor of the City of Waterbury and had them deliver ed to the office of Corporation Counsel Charles S. O'Connor. The honorable MT. O'Connor straight forth sent them back.
 Former Quarry
 One of the pieces of property is located on Lounsbury avenue, and is former quarry, with little us' or possibility as building site. The other is on Congress avenue, the site of the old Third Congre- gational church. The receivership has attempted to sell the land without success, and as final measure appealed to the court two weeks ago for instructions. The court suggested that the land be turned over to the city.
 Corporation Counsel O'Connor appeared in court today and in- formed Judge Wynne that he saw no reason for the city accepting the deeds to the property when there was no assurance that tn land was not encountered by liens or other entanglements which might prove costly. He said, T see no reason for the city taking on expense to do a favor for the re- ceivership in accepting the land" No EncumbranceS
 Attorney Michael Galullo told the court that he was almost definitely sure that there were no encumbrances on the land. The expense which the city would take on would be that of title search. Judge Wynne said that he thought the city should be willing to do that.
 The matter was continued for week, and there is a possibility that the city will bring foreclos- ure proceedings. The reason the receivership is so anxious to dis pose of the tracts is the possibility of civil actions brought by per- sons who might allege accidents on the land.

and written it down to become immortal. He resolved that if he ever dreamed gem, he would do the same thing. And the hoped for opportunity came to him in a dream about a great revival meet ing conducted by Billy Sunday. Billy" had his vast audience hypnotized and the dreamer found himself joining the peni- tents down the sawdust trail.
 Never before had the dreamer heard such soul-stirring music. But the climax came when the redoubtable Billy" announced that they would sing new song and that he would read the in- spring words to them first. The dreamer thought that he had never heard such wonderful words especially the refrain, and that it ought to be in every hymn-book in the world. It took the crowd and they sang it over and over again, and the vast audience was swept by a frenzy of emotion just as the dreamer woke up. but really only half-awake. and his first thought was to jump up and write down the words of that refrain.
 When he really woke up in the morning he was amazed at what he found written in his pencil scrawl:
 Were down and out, we're down and out
 Who cares a damn2 Who cares a damn?"

MORE ALIMONY
 ASKED BY WIFE
Judge Believes Mrs. lrv- ing Not as Destitute as
 She Appears

Expressing his opinion that Mrs. Lillian Irving of Middlebury is not as destitute as she appears, Judge Kenneth Wynne in superior court today reserved her application for more alimony from ther husband. Edward Irving, and employe of a local manufacturing concern.
 The case was continued to next week when the judge will seek tes- timony from the husband, and also from William M Harris, probation officer, who has figured in past mar ital troubles between MT and Mrs. Irving.
 Mrs. Irving was given alimony of i, s weekly in previous judgment when she had her husband ar raigned on non-Support charge. She claimed today that she accepted the judgment under protest that t was not sufficient. T need $15 a wsek," she said today in court.
 Attorney William Gager asked Mrs. Irving today if it were not true that she had left her husband III September of 1883. He further asked if when she was leaving, she had not taken with her their bank book which represented savings ofg $2,2OO. Mrs. Irving denied this most vigor- ously, saying it was her own money only which she had taken with her. Mrs. Irving lives alone in her Mid dlebury cottage.
 Judge Wynne said he was not sat- isfied that the woman was destitute, and suggested further hearing. He said he was afraid it might be a case where the woman was trying to injure her husband just because Of the divorce proceedings.

Government To Close
 CCC Camps In State
General Assembly Fails to Appropriate Funds for New Roads as Required By Federal Ruling; No Decision

F in the state camps who will face the possibility of being shipped home.
 Rumors Circulated
 The possible closing of state eco camps will have no effect on the 34 local boys who are registered at camps in Oregon. About ten days ago there was some talk of having these boys transferred back to this state in order to forestall the clos ing of four state camps because of lack of new enrollees and at that time it was considered unfortunate that no measures were taken to pre- vent closing of the camps by bring ing the boys home. Now it all seems different and if all the state camps are withdrawn the Oregon eco registrants are better off where they are.
 Federal Ruling
 It was pointed out by the Legion committee that recent federal rul- ings hold that state must lnain- tain roads which have been con- structed by the CCC and that if the state fails to do this the eco is not permitted to undertake further projects within the state. Unless the newly constructed roads are kept up, it was further stated, this construction is wasted and the roads deteriorate. This situation might result in the discontinuance of the eco in the state for lack of funds to keep up the roads. So far the CCC has built about 145 miles of new roads throughouut the state, cheifly in forest and other recreational areas which had heretofore been in- O orOaccihIo

BY JOHN BARR
 "Yes, I had rather funny dream myself the other night" said the Waterbury lady when I asked her what the girls and women dream about in these ex- traordinary times; whether the young generation dream over again the old dreams of their mothers and daddies and grand mas and grandsires-or are there new styles" in dreams now-a-days as in everything else?
 T dreamed" she said, that I was coming home from a shop ping trip down town, when be- came aware that man was following me. No one else seemed to be near. I quickened my pace. He did the same. wasn't fright ened, but I was angry"
 Why didn't you call the po- lice?" I interrupted.
 Because I felt perfectly able to take care of myself, and when this fellow got too fresh-so that I could feel his very breath on the back of my neck, turned around quick and landed ter rife slap right in his face"
 Then she woke up-to find that the blow that was meant for the william in the dream, had landed plumb on her own husbands nose and that he was sitting up in bed in a bewildered and "groggy" state, demanding to be informed, what in thunder she was trying to do to him."
 A very charming Waterbury school girl, who will enter Crosby High next September from Woodrow Wilson grammar = has told me of a dream that has come to her over and over again:
 T dream" said she, that am riding on bus with many other passengers-men and women and children when suddenly, the motorman falls dead out of his seat into the aisle, and, quick as a flash, I jump into the empty seat, grab the steering wheel and take charge of affairs"
 Had you ever driven a bus be- fore?" I inquired.
 Never" she answered.
 Had you any doubt about your ability to handle the situation?"
 Not the slightest"
 How fast was the bus going?'
 Top speed"
 Didn't any of the passengers want to get off?"
 Sure, they all wanted to get off They kept the bell ringing all the time; but you see was too busy looking after my driving to think about anything else at that time going up hill and down hill and around corners and through the heavy trafflc in the center. l just told 'ein to keep quiet and leave 1t to me and everything would come out all right. I reasoned it this

way: The bus will stop as soon as the gas runs out, but if I try to stop it before, it will take my mind off my driving, which is the important thing for me to think about. I usually wake up when the bus is slowing down some where out in the woods"
 Dream psychologists would probably say of these two Water bury dreams, that their chief sig nificance is the fearleSsneSs and self-confidence of the dreamers- characteristics of the modern American girl; who isn't afraid to tackle anything and knows no in7 feriority complex.
 Our inquiry shows, too, that many of the good old-fashioned dreams are still in style in Wa terbury; such as the pleasant sen- sation of flying or floating in the air, and the decidedly unpleasant and mortifying experience of sud- denly discovering that we have forgotten to put on our shoes and stockings when we are attending a fashionable party, or are sitting upin conspicuous place on the platform at a public meeting.
 One of our most talented and popular choir leaders reports that he suffers untold modification in a frequent dream where as he stands directing the choir before a church-full of people and chances to look down upon him. self to discover that he is wear ing his pajamas.
 Another of our fellow citizens has heaps of fun with his flying and floating exploits about town. He astonishes the boys by sitting up on the top of Charley Colley's Clock" as they pass by in the Green. He rises up to the top of the Lilley Building and while a crowd is watching him from be- low in the street - he casually steps of, but instead of being dashed to death-he floats over to the top of some other high building. But of all his aerial an- tics the one he says he enjoys most is in the theaters and pie lures houses. For instance, he will be sitting in a seat at Polls or the State, like any other member of the audience, when he will take it into his head to give a little performance of his own-and rise right up to the ceiling and give the surprised audience a thrilling extra act
 One of our fellow-citizens com plains that a dream played joke on him and fooled him very badly He had been reading how famous poets and writers and mu- sical composers had dreamed some beautiful thing and had awakened and jumped out of bed

ack Monday made the following
announcement:
Il offer my sincere congratula-
tions on the work which the E.
Centro Society for the Hard OF

ton with the American Society for
the Hard of Hearing.
THE Ell Centro society offers in
formation in regard to prevention

ing, and affords valuable social con-
facts for those handicapped by
deafness, enabling them to become
better adjusted to their environ
ment.
"They have maintained a free
consultation service where anyone
wishing to know more about the
mastery of lip reading, and the use
of hearing aids may receive ali
available information. Parents have
been urged to contact their phySi-
clans where impaired hearing is
found as a result of audiometric
tests. Free examinations have been
obtained for children who could not
afford to pay for medical help
Contacts have been made with
parents and teachers helping them
TO understand the need for close
cooperation
The Ell Centre society deserves
the strongest support of the COM
munity."
Roy H. Womack.
