So Beth. we're waiting, and
no doubt will catch glimpse of
you today at your" Colony

No sooner had we finished
with Miss Leary and her Main
bocher mumblings than we
found the very svelte Millicent
Rogers Balcom, who thinks that
Schiaparelli is the" girl that
can really turn out the clothes.
And certainly Mrs. Balcom
shows these "Schap" outfits to
more than average advantage,
being renowned for her great
chic and individual manner of
dress.

REALTY PRICES HELD
BLOCKING HOSPITAL
Admiral Rossiter Hints New
Naval Institution May Go
to Virginia.

Establishment of the proposed new
Naval Hospital in the District of CO.
lumbia or nearby Maryland may be
prevented by high prices demanded
for real estate, 1t was announced to-
day by Rear Admiral p. S. Rossiter,
surgeon general of the Navy and chief
of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and
Surgery.
Because of the high cost of Mary
land and District property" Admiral
Rossiter said, 1--WE are being forced
to reconsider proposed sites in Vir-
ginia"
Admiral Rossiter said there is hope
that final decision in the long
search for a site may be reached in
the near future. He had no official
comment to make on a suggestion
that efforts be made to locate the
hospital on Federally owned land in
the southern part of the Soldiers
Home reservation overlooking Nc
MILAN Park reservoir.
During the last two years scores
of suggested sites for the new hos
pital have been proposed, and many
of them have been examined and
studied. Possibilities for sufficient ex-
pansion of the present site at Twenty
third street and Constitution avenue
NV. have been exhausted, it was
pointed out.

city. This almost one-twentieth of the city's population, figured at 106,- 500 by the latest census estimate.
 Increase Noted
 The relief load rose from 1,208 families in March, to an estimated 1,287 in April, or almost 80 families, 400 persons in terms of the general analysis. The rise did not stop there, however, in spite of the fact that employment decrease was almost halted last month. Twenty -one more families have "gone on relief" or about 100 persons, since the first of May.
 This is in spite of the fact that WPA enlargement is taking up some of the slack of the depression here. And WPA rolls are at record high, as well, in terms of Waterbury.
 When the board of finance met a week ago there was confronting them the report of Controller Sherwood L. Rowland that expenditures for well fare were running far ahead of proportional allowance for the year. There was, too, the demand of a group affiliated as the Association for the Unemployed with the Wa terbury Brass Workers union, that a special taA levy be made to provide further welfare allowances to their membership.

 The figures, they said speak for themselves, as the saying goes. And the figures show that from case load (families on full rel:eD of 1,2O8 Ill March, there has been increase to l,318 families at the present time
 Heaviest Load
 Reason for the established 43 per cent expenditure of all welfare ap- propriations for the year durin, the first four months of 1888 is the fact that the welfare department cur- rently is carrying it's heaviest load Tn all time. Even during the ebb of the depression there was not such a direct call on resources of the city. There was, of course, the Mutual Aid. to which the city contributed from the general fund and depart ment resources other than those of .he welfare bureau.

 Aerial Bombardment
Planes Engage Enemy Forces Somewhere Over New
 England COast-Results AnxOusy Awaited

"No, Susie! That is the mail plane.
 You see the gadgets hanging down from the body; those are wheels, not bombs"
 Stock question in Waterbury these last few days has been: Have the bombers come over yet?" Running second, has been: When do we turn out all of our lights so that we will know how it is to be in- volved in an attack from the air?"
 The answer to these questions are: No; and you won't have to turn off your lights because there is no war, so far as Waterbury is concerned"
 Black" Forces
 Reason for the foregoing is the elaborate air nlaneuvres of the CHG air force, presently engaged in mimic warfare over the eastern coast of the country. Black" forces are invading from the sea; Blue" forces, airplanes of all description, bombers and pursuit ships, are at tempting to repel the invasion.
 It is getting closer and closer to the coast by noon-time reports, with sound of firing off Boston to be heard momentarily. And, down on Long Island. thereIl be plenty do- ing, too.
 Over in Hartford, however, where various flights of the Blue" air forces have their bases, there has been fear of bombs escaping from the ships en route to the attack; that pictures would be shaken from the wall by explosion of the massive munitions, and the like.

did not, except in executive meeting, accord the demand for a special tax levy serious attention, the fact that such had come before them indicat- ed a purpose of the union to take the matter to all city departments with agitation for such procedure. This was substantiated at latterly meeting of the union when it was voted to bring the demand for a special tax levy to the board of al- dermen.
 However, with the wage cut of 10 per cent among city employees, 8 probable $100,00O will be provided for the welfare departments budget, precluding need for special tax and scattering purpose of the union in making such a proposal. Whether this money will be adequate for the year is not within province of well fare officials to know.
 Board to Meet
 Sentiment is that establishment of President Roosevelt's recovery program, also supported tJ the same union and affiliated group of unen- ployed, will have effect of reducing welfare costs in some proportion. The matter of city participation in WPA projects with welfare depart ment funds remains 8 consideration which is expected to concern the meeting of the boart' of finance at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

MINISTER FACES
 TRIAL TOMORROW
Rev. Mir. Mccullough of Hartford to Be Arraigned
 in Local Police Court

The allegedly unauthorized solici- tation of funds will result in the ar- raigament in city court tomorrow of colored minister, Rev. William Mccullough, 37, of Hartford. He was arrested last Thursday afternoon on charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. To be arraigned at the same time is Michael Arcieri, 21, of Hartford, charged with the same offense.
 Police claim that the minister gave permission for the collection of funds for a local colored church, though he had no consent from the p-rishioners. He is alleged to have been given $25 by Arc:eri for the right to solicit money.
 Rev. MT. Mccullough says he is presiding elder of the Middle Atlan- tic and Eastern Conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church.
