A request by Prosecutor Charles Summa for the issuance of 8 writ of capias to bring a witness to court was denied in traffic court this morning by Judge Theobald E. Con- way.

 Enthusiastic Rally
Senator LOnergan Governor Cross, Congressman
 Smith Greeted By Large Gathering Saturday Night

Smith. q know of no man in con- gresS," he said, "who holds the more profound respect of his colleagues than your congressman. His assign ment to an important committee came very soon after his arrival in Washington, and he got that assign ment and has kept it on the basis of high character and achievement" Cong. Smith is member of the house military affairs committee.
 Speaking on the larger issues of the campaign, Cong. Mccormack, who is senior member of the New England Democratic group, said that the principal issue was liberalism vs. the forces of reaction. We need men of vision in times like these. And let me tell you that your great liberal governor is well known out side the state for his accomplish ments. His name is household word in Massachusetts"
 Senator Lonergan said that while the Republicans criticize all aspects of the Democratic administration few of them dare to advocate repeal of the legislation passed under the New Deal. He referred to the wages hour law, saying that employers who can't afford to pay more than 9 cents an hour should not be in bus mess. He ridiculed the Republican proposal to use liquor revenue to pay the old age assistance tax saying that "the next thing they would ad- vocate will be drinking clubs to keep up the liquor tax"
 Record of Neglect"
 Cong. Smith declared that the Re- publican record is one of neglect" and that "this nation cannot stand still. The Democrats have record of action. We must either go for ward with the Democratic party or go back with the Republicans to re- action, inaction and Hooverism."
 State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone, applauded by the crowd on his first Waterbury appearance of the campaign, declared that More labor legislation has been passed in | the six years under Governor Cross , in Connecticut than was enacted in the 60 years preceding. A victory for the Democratic party Tuesday will encourage more of the same sort of liberalism"
 Sheriff J. Edward Slavin asked support of Waterbury voters, recall ing that he had 5000 plurality four years ago and pointing to his service to his constituents and the Humanitarian work accomplished during his tenure of office.
 Attorney General Charles J. Me- Laughlin remarked the coming ot former President Herbert Hoover tc Hartford, saying that this visit showed that the Republican party is the same old party with an at. tempt to change its face revealed by the Hoover visit"

Democratic candidates for na- tional, state and local office drew ovationS from more than HOO per- sons at Buckingham hall Saturday night when, led by United States Senator Augustine Lonergan and Governor Wilbur L. Cross, the mes sage of Democracy was given its election-eve impetus at the Water bury rally closing the state cam- paign.
 "HooveriSm", the attempted chang ing of ''spots" of the "reactionary" Republican party into a semblance of liberalism" removed bodily from the Democratic platform adopted at the Eastern Point Convention; these matters were put before the hundreds who have heard one Re- publican speaker and another during the last weeks attempt to portray the Republican party as other than a holdover from Roraback domina- ton.
 Revenue Declines
 Col. Thomas E. Hewes, candidate for lieutenant governor, nailed the lie of the Republican candidates and Mayor Jasper McLevy, of Bridgeport, Socialist, which was that the ex- penses of administration "have in- creased" under Governor Cross. He said that one hour of consideration of the states financial accounts would show any person that the ex- penseS have remained the same in spite of loss of 36 million dollars in revenue during the eight years of the administration.
 The Republican and Socialist can- didateS, he said, have made it ap- pear that the expenses have in- creased by including in state expend- itures the money received from the federal administration and disbursed by the state, also expenditures of the state highway department, which are not part of governmental functions.
 Col. Hewes declared that the state spent 24 and one-half million dol lars for the fiscal year ending in 1881 against 24 and one-third mill lion dollars for the year ending in the summer of 1888.
 Governor Cross and Cong. J. Joseph Smith were given ovations by the enthusiastic crowd, which counted a representation of Demo- crats seldom seen at political rallies, evidence of the appeal which the lib- eral administration has in Water bury.
 Attorney Patrick Healey, candi- date for judge of probate court, was chairman of the meeting after the rally was opened by Democratic Town Chairman John H. Crary, who introduced Attorney Healey to the crowd.
 | ReactiOnary
 Governor Cross termed Raymond E. Baldwin, Republican candidate for governor "the most reactionar. man I ever encountered in the poll tical arena" and charged that Judg Baldwin was "the mouthpiece of tn old Republican organization" unde Roraback, that "he should be retired from public life for good"
 Among the speakers was Cong John w. Mccormack, chairman O the New England delegation in tn, house of representatives, who paic high tribute to Cong. J. Joseph

THE OYsTER-THE TRUE SYM.
Boil OF GOOD EATING
Seafood Proteins Highly disable

Life today is very different from
that of SO years ago. We are living
in a machine age with the result
that vigorous physical exercise has
been largely eliminated from our
daily lives-many of us making up
for this change by INDUCING in golf,
bowling, dancing, horseback riding
tennis and other sports as well as
setting up exercises. These changes
in our mode of life unless accom-
panied by proper changes in diet
result in host of disorders and
early breakdown of our health
Then, too, in order to maintain a
slender figure, far too many persons
have gone to the other extreme,
failing to- assure a proper intake OF
ESSENTIAL food elements. To remaiA
slim, healthy and mentally alert we
must eat sufficiency of starch and
sugar, some protein, vitamins and
minerals with plenty of suitable
vegetables.
We must have protiens for the
construction and repair or mainten-
ance of our tissues. Lack of suf-
ficient intake of Galleries causes star
vation An insufficient intake OF
protective foods, TO-, food rich in
minerals and vitamins, may bring on
deficiency diseases which develop in
spite of an abundant intake of en-
ergy-providing foods. In taking
stock of particular energy-produc-
ing food we need to know the extent
to which the proteins are digestible
as we'll as the total protein content
of the food ITSELF
Recent experiments by Lanham
and Lemen of the U. S. Bureau OF
Fisheries show that the proteins Of
fishery products are of excellent
quality. "Oyster proteins was mark
eddy superior to the others, and APP
parently the fish containing 1910 o.
more of fat yielding better proteins
than those containing less" In gen
eral, in order to get variety and for
reasons of economy, they advise thai
about one-third of the protein eater

sources. AS luOSt NSSCCdulC PioCOiiiT

frequently eaten in the raw state,

which in the temperate region can

How to Lure Fishworms
Out of Holes With Light

When you wish to 60 fishing it is
generally quite a task to dig up
enough worms for bait. But if you
just remember certain facts about
such worms, you will not have to
do any digging at all, according to
q writer in the Washington Star.
Fishworms come out of the ground
of their own accord at night, so
that's the time to get your supply of
bait without digging. But If you go
out with just any old light to do your
worm hunting, you are quite likely
to return with an empty can. You
must know more facts about these
worms.
The color Of your light makes the
difference between capturing plenty
of worms and none.
FishwornS have no eyes, yet II O
white light is turned upon them as
they come out of their holes at
night, they will quickly retreat into
them. A blue light has the same eff
feet. But a red light brings an al
together different result. They pay
no attention to it, and you can pro-
coed to fill your can.
So, before going out on your night
worm hunt, put red paper over the
globe of your fashlight, and you can
get your supply for the morrow's
fishing without digging.

THE WHITE PLAGUE

During the 18th century, the great
English Puritan, John Bunyan call
ed it captain of the men of death"
DR.. oliver Wendell Holmes of New
England started 19th-century fash
ion by naming it "the White
Plague" In swifter and more abbre-
waited guage, the goth century says
SGT. B."
tuberculosis itself has dwindled
since Bunyan's time. But 1t Is still
a great killer. In the United States
today, there are 100000 known cases
of it. Concealed in seemingly
healthy bodies or hidden in slums
unyisited by doctors are at least
100000 more.
This year, White Plague will end
the lives of 10000 men, women and
children in the United States. 1t will
kill more persons aged Is to As than
any other single disease. For the
most vigorous section OF Americas
population, tuberculosis is Killer
Number One.
Early this century, men adopted a
simple technique in their battle
against White Plague. 1908, big
Einar Hoebell, a postal clerk at Co.
penhagen, conceived the idea OF a
penny stamp to be sold during
Christmas time to brighten letters
and greets-the proceeds to go to-
ward building tuberculosis hospital.
Hoebell went to the Danish royal
family with the idea. In 1904, Den
mark was the first country to wit
ness a wide Christmas Seal drive
for money to end the scourge OF
tuberculosis.
Beginning on Thanksgiving Day,
the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton started the annual sale OF
Christmas Seals in the United States.
Symbol of the drive, which appears
on tuberculosis seals in all of 2O-odd
countries where they are sold, is
red cross with two horizontal bars.
During the Middle Ages, the
double-barred cross was symbol OF
hope and charity used by religious
and fraternal orders. Now, its two
bars suggest the dual purpose OF
the tuberculosis drive: to raise
money to find and cure tubercular
individuals and thereby to prevent
the spread of the disease.
In 1898, the tuberculosis Asso-
citation hopes to raise about $4,000
600 for it's double barreled attack on
White Plague. Every penny spent
for Christmas Seal, according to the
Associations strategy, is a penny
spent for self-protection as well as
charity.

COLOR. OF EYES AFFECTS ABlL-
ivy TO DRIVE GAR

The color, or shade, Of your eyes
affects your ability as car driver
Recently studies indicate that per-
sons with eyes of light hue-pale
blue, gray or fawn-are affected
more by the glare of sunlight or
headlights, and therefore tire more
easily, than black, dark-brown and
other eyes of dark hues, reports the
Better Vision Institute.
Just why this is so is not definite
ly known, but it is believed by some
scientists that dark eyes absorb rays
of light which otherwise bleach a
substance in the eyes known as the
visual purple, which has import
ant influence upon the ability to see
well. The glare of sunlight or arti-
fetal light tires the eyes by temper
arily bleaching the visual purple"
in the eyes. Lack of vitamins in
the deit increases the susceptibility
to glare of eyes of any color.

Age-Old Mistake Traced
To Loose Use of a Word

That the whole of Homer's "Iliad"
vas once written so fine on parch-
nent that it could be enclosed in a
nut was believed by ancient writer's.
This extraordinary statement quot
ed from Cicero by Pliny, has puz-
zled many modern students, writes
DR.. Henry A. Sanders in the Michi-
gan Alumnus Quarterly Review.
eff one wished to write the 1888
verses of the 'Iliad' on the thinnest
paper and with all modern instru-
nents, including our powerful mag
nifying glasses, so as to enclose it
in a nutshell" DR.. Sanders says,
she would have to use coconut
and not any of the nuts known to
ancient Italy" Pliny's error, he con-
tinues, lies in the fact that he ac-
,-epted Cicero's statement without
investigating it and that, in his opin-
ion, the remarkable thing is the ex-
treme smallness of the book, and
not the mere fact that it was bound
into book, itself a remarkable feat
in those early days of literature.
The whole misunderstanding, DR..
Sanders explains, hinges on the use
of the Latin word 'nux," which
means both the tree and the nut, as
we would say "of walnut" or 'tof
chestnut" Pliny, he points out,
takes the phrase, "bound in NUT" to
mean the actual nut, whereas Cicero
meant the board covers of the vol
ume, used to keep the parchment
leaves from curling. Thus, he says,
the remarkable thing to Cicero was
not the size of the volume at all, but
the fact that this was one of the first
literary works to be bound in book
form.
