 Born in Waterbury
 He was born in Waterbury on Nov. "A, 1854, near the site of the Hotel Elton. He was the son of the late Andrew J. and Henrietta Day. ton. When 8 child his parents moved to East Haddam and at the age of IS, he entered the employ of the National bank there as an office boy.
 His first duties were to sweep the floor, dust the furniture and carry in wood for the stove. That he was not then exacting as to the terms of his employment is indicated by the fact there is no record of his insist ing on 8 written contract defining his duties or the amount of his wages and hours.
 Got Wage Raise
 After six months, the president of the bank gave him $62.50 which apparently determined his salary at $125 per year then. He rose rapidly and attained the position of cashier there. In 1883 he came to Nauga- tuck and with the late Messfs. F. w. Tolles, George A. Lewis and others organized the Naugatuck Na- tionAl bank, beitig its first cashier. In 1885 he assumed the manage Inent of the Natigatuck Savings bank. Both banks were in the uorth- west corner room in the town hall until 1893 when the National bank erected the building on Church street which Is now the Children's library.
 Secretary, Treasurer
 From 1895 to 1892 he was secre. tary and treasurer of the Savings bank, from 1892 to 1924 he was sec- retary of that institution and from 1924 until the time of his death he had been president of the bank.
 Hsn0fed by People
 In 1895 the people of Naugatuck hoi1ored MT. Dayton by subscribing funds to purchase c plaque which is now in the lobby of the Savings Bank. The Chamber of Commerce sponsored this drive. it marking his 50th year as a banker in Nauga- tuck.
 He was highly respected, a man of excellent character and ability. and many expressions of sorrow over his passing were heard today.
 He leaves one son, Arthur Bliss Y1axyknsa ff NYAvEy EYnVAyN atxd fy,d grandchildren. Funeral arrange rnents have not yet been announced

 Injured in Crash
 The young man died yesterday at the New London Hospital, New Lon don, N. H. of injuries received in an automobile accident there on Satur- day evening. The flag on the cam pus 0f Dartmouth College was at half staff today and members of the faculty and fellow students mourned the death of a student who was well liked by all with whom he associated. He was a member of the Dartmouth cross country squad last year, a member of the Gamma Delta Chi fraternity and also a member of many undergraduate clubs.
 The Evans family have resided in the Overlook section for many years coming here from Minnesota. Robert received his early education at Col umbia Grammar School and was graduated from Crosby High School in 1886 with first honors. While at Crosby he was active in student af- fairs and was treasurer of the Con- solidated high school orchestra, treasurer of the Art club, member of the high school orchestra, the Cros- by high school band, the Glee club and 9 member of the class book committee.

American Distilling Co.,, in a recent statement here. He made his state- ment during 8 discussion of liquor advertising problems before w. S. Alexander, federal alcohol admins trator.
 Distillers, said Mir. Tunney, who use billboard advertising, have aroused the resentment of many people. The press, he said, not only offers the best advertising medium but has been a friend of Repeal.
 Money spent for liquor advertising, declared MT. Tunney, sEould go to newspapers, which provide the best medium.
 Other speakers attacked the use of liquor advertising on the radio. The necessity for uniformity of fed eral and state regulations was em- phacized.

opponents cry, q disagree with you", and, That is not true"
 MT. Seeley, whose efforts are prin- cipal reason for the hearing on the laying of the sewer, remarked that those who really wanted a sewer can make arrangements for loans under the FILA. He said that some owners are pumping out their cess pools and allowing the refuse to flow over the street creating g menace to public health.
 William Drescher led a group which opposed the sewer laying as a burden of cost due to slack em- ployment conditions. Mrs. Ida Doo- little supported this contention but William Jacquiery said that he favored a sewer because the health department had warned him often about the condition of 8 ceSSpool which overflows.
 The matter finally was referred to the city health officer, Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, with request that he report to the board which section of the street needs 8 sewer the most with view to curtailing expense for the other residents opposing the plan.
 No Imposition
 Commissioners Charles Dreher, Joseph H. Lawlor and James A. Phelan discussed the project with the residents and told them that the city had not thought to force a sewer on any citizens who opposed such construction, but that the board has duty to install sewers where inSanitary conditions obtain.
 The commissioners pointed out that the sewer could not be com pleted within a years time and that the property owners would have four months thereafter to pay the assessments.

 The signing of the British agree ment will culminate four years oi effort by Secretary of State Hull tc link the principal commercial na. tions in an effective plan for eco- homie and trade disarmament.
 Reports that agreement was reached and that the signing was imminent came from London Mon- day. Hull revealed that he antici. pated completion of the Canadian treaty this week. Because of the in- terlocking nature of the two treatie. it was assumed then that the Brit. ish agreement was near completion too.
 Difficulties Overcome
 Whatever difficulties were en- countered, it was believed that the desire of both governments te strengthen ties between the world's two major democracies was instru- mental in facilitating agreement Signing of the treaty now would Dc of particular significance in view of troubled world conditions in Flu. rope and Asia.
 There was no indication of what concessions the two countries have made.
 Hull long has considered trade agreement with Great Britain as essential to the successful working of his trade treaty program. The great importance attached to treat les with Britain and Canada was based not only on racial, historic and language ties, bu talso on the fact that those two countries are the United States largest customers.
 Actual negotiations with the Brit ish trade delegation by state depart ment officials began early in the spring.
 The major items of export tc Great Britain are food and agri- cultural products. Among those listed by Hull were meets, fruits. to- bacco, cotton oil, lumber and chem. ical products.
 From Great Britain this country's major imports are manufactured products. Those of greatest value imported in 1886 were furs, whiskey metal products, wool and textiles.

long before the days Of color photo

they bring us in vivid manner the
richness OF such pageantry at its
best. OF the large salon canvases
probably the best examples are Going

better, in inches is apt to become life

like a small photograph over-much

were painted this was the order Of
the day. To be seen at all on the

still other works which may we'll

Of these we're early purchases and have
long been associated with the original
