Huge Scrap Iron Order
Shipped to Germany

(C.TP.SN In the midst Of war
scares that swept the country to-
day. it was disclosed that the
American Government had per-
mitted the sale of $4,000 900
worth of arms to Russia and that
$4,000 tons OF scrap iron is being
shipped to Germany by fast pas
senger liners.
The Russian purchases were by
far the largest for single month
ever recorded by one nation since
the enactment of the law prohibit
ing the export of arms, ammuni-
ton and implements of war except
by specific permission from the
State Department.
FOR NEW BATTLESHIPS
The first indication that this
government had consented to the
huge transaction was revealed by
the State Departments monthly
report of licenses issued for ship
ment of such materials abroad.
More than half of the big ship
ment to Russia was for war YES
sells. The expenditure was be-
lieved to have been for the first
materials and equipment for two
battleships which the Moscow gov
ernment sought some time ago to
buy from the United States.
CHINA MAKES PURCHASES
The total war purchases of all
countries in September was the
largest on record, amounting to
China bought $2,8O9,o99 in war
supplies. most of the materials be-
ing bombs. grenades, torpedoes,
mines and depth charges.
Germany's large shipment OF
scrap iron-that increasingly val
liable material needed for the
manufacture of rifle and cannon
barrels-was hurriedly being
poured into the holds of two Ham
burg-American passenger liners.
Germany and other nations
have been heavy purchasers Of
iron here for the past few years,
but the individual shipments gen.
orally have been much smaller.
Also, tramp steamers and old
freighterS usually have been en-
ployed to carry the metal.

but the wind continued to blow hard. Last night was no exception and even today dawned with a heavy wind blowing but with the mercury somewhat higher in the thermometer. The weatherman promises continued cold weather for today.
 Floral Accessories
 Many women wore floral bouquets yesterday despite their heavy, win try looking clothing. Local flor ists were kept busy, also, delivering Easter plants and cut flowers to thousands of homes. Business along this line this year was excep- tionally good, they reported.
 Local clothing stores did not suf- fer any falling off in business de- spite the cold weather. They re- ported Easter sales to be the best since 1929 when the depression started. However, it is felt that the cold did serve to deter some per- sons from buying so their purchas- es this week, in anticipation of a warmer temperature next Sunday, will go towards raising even higher the sales record for the Easter pe- riod of 1887.
 Business Good

Waterburians turned their at- tention to prayer and feasting rath- CT than to parading the latest in spring styles yesterday as Easter Sunday arrived and remained in the midst of freezing weather. Only new hats, gloves and bags were dis played. Other spring finery was covered up with heavy winter coats. Only a few ventured forth with lighter clothing and number was SO small that there was no Easter parade at all yesterday. Next Sum- day, the weather permitting, the procession will undoubtedly take place.
 Church Services
 Thousands attended services in all the local Catholic and Protest ant churches yesterday. In the va rious churches the Resurrection was the theme of all sermons. Special Easter musical programs were rendered.
 The day started off with the iner- cury several degrees below the freezing mark. It remained there most of the morning and the cold was intensified by a very brisk wind that made the wearing of silk top hats precarious undertaking. To- wards noon and during the after noon the mercury lifted number of degrees over the freezing line

portant that a word be said cor- recting such erroneous impression insofar as 1t applies to members of the state police department. While it is true that an officer at times, particularly in the justice courts, collects officers fees after the case has been disposed of, he does so merely as a matter of convenience for all such monies are turned over to the State Treasurer and in no way is the officer, personally, or the state police department the finan- cial gainer thereby"

Commissioner Sunderland Denies General Impression
 in Article Published in Connecticut Safety"

State policemen do not get any part of the fec charged as 8 part of the costs of the court for motor vehicle violations, Commissioner Anthony Sunderland states in an article in "Connecticut Safety" q publication of the Governors Com mission on Street and Highway Safety.
 Many persons seem to have the idea" he says, 'that the officers fees, charged up as a part of the costs of the court, are retained by the officer responsible for the ar- rest and that, consequently, 1t is to his financial interest to make as many arrests as possible. It is in-

of efficient protective service by the police, similar consideration from the public for officers in their work would be very helpful.
 'The public demands, and safety requires, an increasingly larger number of State Police from year to year, and that more hours be given to highway patrol duty. Tn 1886, S.026,005 miles were covered by State Police, 12,166 man-days were devoted to highway patrol. G. O02 arrests were made and 0.363 warnings given for motor vehicle violations and irfracticns.

 The observance of Easter is old- CT than the Christian religion itself. It dates back to the pagan era and at that time 1t had to do with the ascending of the sun higher into the sky which marked the change Ot season and a time of rejoicing. And so, the years have passed, and all Christianity observed Easter as the Day of Resurrection, and time for rejoicing because the world Is born anew.

Near the close of the meeting, r.

H. Hayes of Portland, one of the
guests, was called on to explain
Boy Scout work and what he had in
mind for this district. He explained
quite in detail the good work that
is being done by the Boy Scout move
ment. He said in western Montana
there is more work than can be
properly done by Mr.. Waltermire,
Scout executive of Missoula, and
that the organization hopes to en-
ploy an assistant who can work over
the field with the Scout troops in
the various cities. This would re-
quire a donation from the cities for
that work. According to what other
places are raising, Libby's quota
would be about 5000 per year.
After considerable discussion, the

ment to the extent that they will
attempt to secure the help of the

organizations in this work. Lion
