the kidnap-murder of Charles Ross,
millionaire retired Chicago manu-.
facturer, it was decided today by
Federal Judge John Barnes.

After Judge Barnes had set the

MILK CONTROL.
BY U. S. seen AS
INQUIRY OPENS.
Grand Jury Launches
Probe in Chicago
BY CARROLL PEEKE

Possibility that the Government
will take over control of the milk
industry in the United States was
seen today as a grand jury investi-
cation of the industry was
launched in Chicago under direc-
tion of the Department of Justice.
Chicago was selected for the
start of the investigation, Govern
ment officials pointed out, be.
cause conditions there are repre-
sentative of those throughout the
country, particularly in metropoh-
tan areas, and it is expected the
probe will throw light on the
control Of milk distribution in
other areas.
FIGHT RACKETEERING
Results of the investigation will
probably be transmitted to Con-
gresS and legislation drafted to
bring an end to racketeering in the
industry.
In the past Government control
along the lines of regulation of
public utilities has been advocated
on the theory that the milk buSi-
ness operates in the public inter-
est.
Another proposal is that the
Government inaugurate a system
of milk distribution similar to the
postal service, with Government
owned and operated milk diStribu-
tion points.
WILL PROSECUTE
In the Chicago investigation the
antitrust laws will be invoked inI
an effort to determine if compe-
tition has been strangled. Crimi-
nal prosecution will be sought inI
an effort to drive out racketeersI
who have staged milk wars" in
that city.
Violation Of the antitrust law
Is alleged on the claim that large
milk dealers maintain rigid prices
for milk and ice cream, with the
result the producer is paid an ex-
tremely low price while the con-
sumer pays a high price for the
product.
The large dairy companies, it is
charged, dominate the important |
metropolitan areas of the nation
through holding companies, and
determine the policies of the vari-
GUS operating units.
rs PER CENT PROFIT
Records of the Department Of
Agriculture disclose that in the
four largest milk sheds of the
country, the distributors made q |
Is per cent profit in the fiveyear
period ending in 1898, while in
the same period the wholesale
price of milk sold by farmers de-
clined SO per cent.
The distributors present a united
front, the Government claims,
with a result the farmers are
helpless and have no course but
to accept the offers made if they
wish to sell their product.

 The units were marched into their various mess halls where the com- pany officers of each unit gave in- structions on what would have been taken up on the field. A heavy fog hung over the encampment making it difficult to see the water land across the parade ground.
 About g o'clock the weather clear ed and the units moved out onto the parade ground where the rest of the morning was spent in extend ed orders. A lecture by medical officer and 15 minutes close order drill.
 This afternoon the officers of the Waterbury units were given their annual physical examination.

AIR-CONDITIONED
 THEATER PLEASES
System Installed in State New Chairs Put in
 Auditorium

Starting tomorrow there will be in action at the State Theater the largest and most modern air. conditioning system in all New Eng land, according to an announce ment to-day by Miss Julia Smith, manager. And in an effort to make everything more pleasant for movie goers these hot, sultry days. Miss Smith has also had new chairs and chair-covers installed in the audi torium. She recently had new marquee added to the theater, which has already attracted widespread attention.
 Modern Type
 The new conditioning system. like all those of the most modern type, will do four different things to improve the atmosphere inside the auditorium, Murray M. Kabili, engineer on the project, said today. In the first place, it will control the temperature of the air; it will also control the humidity which is at least as important a factor on hot summer days; it will filter all im- purities from the air; and 1t will create air motion, which would be entirely lacking without some sys- tenn of the sort
 Air is introduced into the theater through sheet metal ducts, which are strategically arranged to pre- vent drafts, and to secure uniform distribution of air. Before being cooled, the air is sent through oil- coated filters, on which the parti- cles of dust remain, allowing the air to pass through. Then the air comes in contact with cold coils, on which the moisture collects. just as it does on the outside of cold glass. Thus the excess humidity is taken care of The new system will be able to drop the temperature of 10000 cubic feet of air minute by twenty degrees. What really happens is that the heat originally in the air is trans ferred to the water with which it comes in contact, and the water is then carried out through pipes. We'll, water is used for this purpose, which has to be brought from the depts of the earth at the rate of 100 gall Ions minute, and at temperature of 61 degrees. It was necessary to go down more than 100 feet to get this water.
 The Typhoon Air Conditioning Company, which began work on the installation of the system about two months ago, expects to have it in running order in day or two more, according to MT. Kabili, and MT. Edward Beck, the engineers.
 The installation of the new sys- tenn, says Miss Smith, is another in- stance of the desire of the State Theater to give its patrons every comfort whatever the weather out side may be. With the new chairs and the new marquee, the theater has been practically renovated for the summer months, although, of course, the air-conditioning system will be in use 365 days in the year, from now on.

CROPS IN COUNTY
 BEHIND SCHEDULE

Despite the head start plants re- ceived as result of warm April weather last spring, crops in the vicinity of New Haven and the shore towns of Connecticut are approxi- mately ten days behind schedule. This report came from Dr. w. R. Singleton, plant breeder, at the Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven.
 Cold June weather retarded growth to such an extent that corn and other vegetables are off schedule, he said. Strangely enough, condi- tions farther north seem to be nor- nal. At Springfield, Massachusetts, where Dr. Singleton was visiting last week, the same varieties of corn, planted at the same time as station com, is shoulder high. In the fields of the experimental farm at Mount Carmel it is only waist high. An other result of the weather is that smaller sized plants are coming into taasel and silk.
 In his observations Dr. Singleton sa;h that some bacterial wilt has appeared in the cornfields this sea- sdn, but that it will not be wide spread since most hybrids now planted are resistant to the disease.

NEW STAMP ISSUES
 AROUSE INTEREST
Waterbury Allowed Limit ed Number of Northwest
 Territory Stamps

Further information regarding new issues of stamps this month and the first week of August was received today through Postmaster A. Charles Babin. The stamps com- memorating the 150th anniversary of the settlement of the northern territory went on sale today at the local postoffice. First sale on these stamps was at Marietta, O., on the 18th of this month, and they were scheduled to go on sale here on the following day, but did not arrive until this moring. In place of the customary shipment of 30000, the Waterbury postoff1ce received only 10,000-a very limited supply. Con- sequently, any philatelists who wish copies of the new stamps will be wise to get them as soon as pos- sible.
 These commemorative are the standard size, and of the regular B. cent denomination. The design is a memorial statue 5ymbolizing the colonization of the west, with the inscription Northwest Territory Sesquicentennial". They are purple in color and ardent stamp collec- tors may be interested in the fact that they were issued in sheets of 100, and not in sheets of 50 as is customary for such stamps.
 Other stamps in the presidential series which will go on sale shortly, are the Sc blue, bearing the portrait of the 5th president, James Monroe This goes.on sale the 2lst at Wash ington, and the following day here. The 6c red-orange, bearing por- trait of John Quincy Adams, will be ready for sale July 28 at Wash- ington, and the next day here. The 7c sepia, depicting ndrew Jackson, will go on sale August 4 at Wosh- ington, and August 5 here

Dental Health Given
 Early Consideration
Summer Roundup of Children of Pre-School Age Fea-
 tured By Inspection Advice on Correction of Teeth

described the attendance of the dental hygienists at the roundup as an opportunity for mothers to discuss dental defects as found in their children and the importance to their health of early correction. The health and development of the teeth are dependent upon well balanced diet rich in calcium, phos- phorous and vitamins. Doctor Er- lenbach said that a mouth having soft, spongy, bleeding gums often indicates a diet deficient in vita min c which can be supplied by the citrus fruits-tomatoes and other raw fruits and vegetables. A chalkytype of tooth may indicate lack of cadlcium and so insufficient milk in the diet. Poorly formed and defective teeth resulting from early rickets indicates a lack of vitamin D. This is less common than for merly now that cod or other fish liver oils are given to babies at an early age.
 Crooked Teeth
 Doctor Erlenbach pointed out thai defect often noted in the denta examination is imperfectly formed teeth which are prone to decay nor, quickly unless repaired early. Tn, er-developed arch often discov. cred early in life is usually caused by failure to masticate and so ht emphasized the need for suff1cien exercise of the teeth as he sait that this defect may lead to crooked second teeth or constriction of tho nasal passages which increases the tendency to upper respiratory dis eases.
 While the dental check-up al the summer roundup is a health measure, it cannot be too strangly urged that mothers seek dental ad- vice and dental care early and al frequent intervals throughout the period of growth. Many mothers are taking advantage of such opportu- mites at well child conferences fol preschool children held in connec- tion with local health departments
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-07-19

Franklin M. Erlenbach, D.M.D. in the State Department of Health weekly broadcast called attention to the importance of checking a child's dental health at the same time that the periodic examination is given as there is a direct rela- tionship between the condition of the child's mouth and his general physical condition. This import ant relationship should be emphas- ized as early in life as possible, pre- ferably during the preschool years, so that every means possible may be taken to favor sound tooth de- velopment.
 Round Up
 During the last few months the so-called Summer Round-ups have been held in various parts of the state to determine the health of those children who will enter school for the first time in the fall and for the purpose of having any defects found corrected before school begins. Doctor Erlenbach
