CIRCUS TO PLAY
 HERE NEXT WEEK
Newton Brothers Three Ring Troupe Plan Two
 Performances

Newton Bros. Circus will exhibit in Waterbury, Tuesday, June 21St., giving two complete performances at 2 and 8 p. m.
 The horses, wild animals, ponies, dogs, monkeys, have undergone the most rigid inspection and only those in the very pink of physical condi- tion have been retained. Every de- tail and item not measuring up to the highest standard have been dis carded, to make room for only the best obtainable. These replacements together with the vast enlargements in all departments place Newton Bros ring Circus in the very van of all tented amuSements.
 There will be many sensational aerial and acrobatic novelty fea- lures and among the great number of trained wild and domestic ami mals, many beautiful dancing, rear ing and high jumping horses, cute ponies in military frills, highly trained dogs and monkeys and num- erous other animal acts, making up a splendid program of unusual cir GUS numbers gathered from every corner of the globe, with the special intention to gladden. the youngsters who attend.
 The entire wardrobe for the open ing number has been made of the very finest silks, satins. velvets, spangles and jeWeled costumes and will create a brilliant background for the numerous specialties and dancing numbers.

factory at Blackburn, Lancashire, which is producing more than 100,- 900 masks week.
 Eight hundred employees, mostly girls, work in two shifts on a con- veyor belt system, turning out little tin canisters filled with chemically treated layers of charcoal and cot ton, which are attached to a simple goggled rubber face -piece.
 I wore the mask for ten minutes and found breathing, after the first minutes of practice, only slightly impeded. The exhalations, con- trolled by valve, passed out be- tween the rubber face-piece and the cheeks with a Tapping sound.
 After ten minutes, I concluded 1t would be quite feasible to wear the masks without much discomfort.
 The foreman said girls employed in tests worked for hours wearing the masks. He slept one night in a mask and reported an undisturbed rest. His year-old child played in the house wearing a mask.
 The foreman explained that the masks are made in four standard sizes for children down to the age of four, and in extra small sizes for children from four to two.
 Recently, they have begun mak- ing gas bags for babies which com- pletely enveloped the baby. The bags are fitted with gas filter pump for the frequent injection of air. No method has yet been devised of feeding the baby within the bag or for adults to eat while masked.
 While in storage, the masks will be tested frequently for efficacy against gas and resistance to inha- lation. Children's masks are made with lighter resistance to breathing than those for adults.
 It is claimed that the masks are effective against all known gases except those which blister the skin, such as mustard and leWisite.
 Watching gangs loading cars with thousands of masks brought home the ghastly fact of war lowering over Europe more wildly than any thing I have yet seen or heard.

Dean of Priests in Connecticut 93
 Years Old Today

Rev. John Russell, dean of Catholic clergymen in Connec- ticut, very quietly observed his 93rd birthday today. He re- ceived greetings from Most Rev. Maurice F. McAuliffe, bishop of Hartford diocese, and nu- merous acquaintances in all parts of the state.

He was ordained 8 priest in Montreal in 1870. Last April he celebrated his 55th year as pas tor of St. Patrick's church of flew Haven. Of late, Father Russell has been in poor health and consequently no formal Ob- servance of his birthday was planned for today.

 Time To Speed
 Now is the time to make your final spurt, you baby contenders for the end of the CONTEST is not far away, from this point.

 Take look at the pictures of the four leaders today and make your choice, readers of THE DEMO- GRAF. Then, if you know someone who is not now receiving THE DEMOCRAT at home, get in touch with them and tell them that you want to help a certain baby to win prize; ask them to subscribe to THE DEMOCRAT and to tell the CONTEST MANAGER for whom they want the 200 votes for their subscription to count.
 That's the way you can help one of the babies to win, you see.

 Boy, oh, BOY! WHAT A CON- TEST THIS IS TURNING OUT TO BE!

 Peggy has 119,000 votes and good ness only knows how many vote. these two champions will find in their support during this week, even at the 200-vote rate, which is what the subscriptions to THE DEMOCRAT count now and will count.
 THERE WILL BE NO MORE BONUS PERIODS, FOLKS. In fact, 1t is very likely that there may be a reduction of the count of votes during the last week of the CONTEST. More about that later.

 When I sublet my Kensington flat in London the other day, the wo- man who leased 1t took the place because the telephone exchange under construction next door Is be- ing equipped with a massive base ment shelter against bombs and gas, which she hopes she will be per- mitted to use if war comes.
 The first communication I re- ceived after I had moved into the suburbs of Walton -on-Thames was a notification from the urban council that the air raids warden would cal shortly to measure the family for gas masks.
 The above are only a few high lights of the thousands of daily activ- ities to prepare London, the worlds most vulnerable capital, against gas and bombs.
 The people are nervous. In my daily contacts with British friends, l encounter daily evidence that thoughts of war are expressing their minds and affecting their personal lives and plans for the future. The wife of one friend impelled him to sell his London home and move outside the city. Now the government is establishing a mili- tary airdrome near the new home and he is moving again.
 Two of my friends have been buy ing hundreds of cans of food and building up hoard outside the city. They point out that the government itself has started vast hoards of ! food for time, so why shouldn't they?
 Among all European capitals London hitehrto has been the most } backward in air raid precautions, but the shock of Hitlers sudden absorption of Austria has suddenly aroused the people to a feeling of danger.

 By the end of this summer, the government plans to be in posi- tion to furnish a mask for every one of the 45,0000 900 men. women and children in the British Isles. Already more than 35,000,000 masks have been finished. They are scattered at warehouses throughout the country where they are kept at constant temperature under chemi- cal treatment to prevent deteroia- : tion of the rubber face pieces and chemicals within the canister.
 Later they will be distributed to locals depots and held ready for dis tribution to the population if the government decides war is immi nent Authorities assert that when the program Is completed, they could provide every inhabitant with n mask within eight hours.

Ideal Labor Leader
By DIR. CHARLES STELZLE


Executive Director, Good Neighbor League
Earliest of labor leaders was Moses, the
man who delivered from a cruel bondage the
millions of Israelites who were slaves in
Egypt, and who might well serve as an
example for the modern labor leader. The
development Of a leader is always a slow
process. This is particularly true in the in
dustrial world. For in the labor movement
there is so much at stake, and there are SO
many interests involved, that the raw en-
thusiast cannot be entrusted with the power
of leadership.
Enthusiasm there must be, but it must be
an enthusiasm founded upon intelligence and
a genuine experience. 1t required forty
years of solitude in the land Of INDIAN to
transform the hot-blooded Moses, the adopt
ed son Of Pharoah's daughter, into the modest
Moses whose name has become a synonym
for meekness. Learned in all the wisdom
of the Egyptians" nevertheless he needed
the solitary life of the shepherd on the hill
side to prepare him for the great task of
leading out into liberty the slaves OF the
Egyptian ruler.
He came, too, with the consciousness of a
sure victory, because he knew that his cause
Was JUST. DuL IlOIG uldll IlldI, lC was OOI-
fdent because he came in the spirit Of a
strong moral faith. This emancipation which
he was about to witness was more than an
economic deliverance dependent upon brute
strength, and the ability of a mere man to
exercise unusual power. He had back of him
the Omnipotent God of Abraham, of Isaac
and of Jacob, the forefathers Of the afflicted
Israelites. 1t was the religious element in
this movement which made it all-powerful.
This day awaits another Moses-aye, many
such. For again the masses need to be led
out of bondage. Not always the bondage of
the ancient Israelites, although there is still
a call for such service, but the bondage which
e~nslaves man to his lower self.
The qualities that were so conspicuous in
Moses must be found in the modern leader.
He must be of the people, for he must under
stand their needs. He must have had an eX-
p~erience which sobered him, SO that he is
familiar with the deeper, truer things of life.
He must depend not so much upon his speech
as upon his character. He must have the
bower which can come alone through the
consciousness that his cause is just, and that
back of him, too, as He was back of Moses,
stands the God of the common people, Who
is saying through him: LET my people 60"
