tanning the press very highly without
being at all conscious Of 1t. Between
answering questions, and asking them,
her fingers flew around with a needle
IN them, or sometimes sewing ma
chine, while she made garments (tiny
ones) for girls in her chorus.
Why should Miss Hackett make
garments. tiny or otherwise, for chorus
girls? Because next week she is 60
ing to put Era Coleman, Ann Ecklund
and others of her group into Scot
fish number. She does not like the
costumes available in commercial es-
adjustments for that kind of number.
So. whipping out a needle and a sew
ing machine, she is making her own.
While Miss Hackett shipped and
stitched, the conversation ran hither
and yon about such things as stock
ballets in movie houses, her brother,
Albert Hackett, who writes for M-G-M;
her husband, Mr.. Steele, who still
sings IN that lyrical Irish tenor voice;
the high costs Of producing even COM
paratively simply shows, how nice it
would be to have a vegetable garden
as a sideline to show business and
other items.
Tea and crumpets were the only
things missing and they were not
really missed by any one present.

ATTORNEY DELAYS
 FACTORY AUCTION
Lack of Bids Yesterday Postpones Final Action
 By City

Postponement of the auction of the American Ring Co.'S land and buildings by the city for non-pay- ment of taxes resulted yesterday when bids were not forthcoming to the amount of the taxes owed. about $46,000. Tax Attorney George R. Guilfoile will advertise another sale for July IS, when, 1t is expect ed, there may be representatives of the Thacher family, formerly of Waterbury and now of New York, present to bid.
 Attorney, Thomas Thacher, men, toned as possible Republican candidate for governor of New York, was in the middle west yes- terday, 1t was reported, and could not attend the sale. His wife's fam- fly owned considerable stock in the company at one time and Mrs. Thacher voluntarily sent $1,000 of the taxes due about five years ago when the plant closed.
 Represents lives of the M. J. Daly & Sons company were on the scene yesterday but did not bid for the property, 531 Bank street, includes a 200-foot frontage on Bank street and extends 280 feet back to rail- road siding.
 Taxes due amount to $46,000 but the assessed valuation of the land is $68,700 and the buildings are as sessed at $67,500, for total of $780, 200. Tentative offers from several manufacturing concerns have been received since the formerly success full concern closed during the de- precision but the city only recently has been in position to dispose of the property.

across the borcer in Nazi Germany. The Jews ancient residents of Holland-also took alarm. But the great, sturdy Protestant majority was not behind. It was determined also that Hollands long reputation for freedom, democracy and toler- ance should be maintained.
 Democratic Dike Holds
 Secure in this knowledge, Premier Collin effected the passage of many measures which paralyzed the would-be Nazis. Wearing of black shirts was forbidden. Government officials and army and navy men were prohibited from joining the movement. Nazi public parades were squelched. Another factor was the improvement in business and the lessening of unemployment, follow ing the 1886 determination of the government to devalue it's currency and place it in line with that of America and Britain.
 And finally, as prominent Dutchman explained to this writer singular as it may seem-the be- trothal and marriage of Princess Juliana and the recent birth of her baby smashed the Dutch Nazi party. As he explained it, the young people wanted something to cheer about. They had cheered for Mussert. Now they cheered for their Princess and the House of Orange to which they are devoted. The young people were lost to Mussert. In the elections held this year, the total Nazi vote dropped to a mere four per cent.

 No hunting will be permitted within the fenced area which must be advantageously located" Acting Superintendent Elliott P. Bronson stated.
 "As the boards contribution, the grain will be furnished free to the clubs and warden supervision pro- vided. Eight pheasants are to be released in the spring for each food plot established.
 By cultivating and planting half of these half-acre tracts each year, not only will much-needed food be furnished wild-life, but soil im- provement will also result. The plan should provide a welcome opportun- ity for farmer-sportsman co-opera- ton along mutually beneficial lines, " Bronson pointed out.

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 London, June 16-With Nazi fire works blazing up in many countries contiguous to Germany, Anton Ad- rian Mussert, would-be Fuehrer of Holland went up like ten-cent sky-rocket and came down like a burnt matchstick.
 While this is evidence that the stout and sturdy Dutch are slow to run after strange gods, the currently discredited Mussert continues to sit in his handsome Utrecht office, gaz- ing at portraits of Hitler and Mus solini, and dreaming his dreams still boring from within" the Meth erlands in behalf of Fascism.
 It was in 1881 that Mussert, then chief engineer to the ministry of waterways in Utrecht, started his own NaI organization. He chose Hitler as his model. Like Hitler, he does not smoke nor drink strong liquor. Unlike Hitler, he is nothing of Q public speaker.
 Apes Hitler, MussOlini
 Again, just as Hitler copied lot of Mussolini's stunts, so Mussert copied from both of them. He adopted a red and black flag. He took as a symbol a wolf trap, this being reminder of the days long ago when Dutch peasants had to battle against hungry wolves which ranged the country in winter Just as the Nazis chant "Heil Hitler" and the Fascists sing "Duce, Duce," he taught his followers to say "Hou Zee" a greeting used in olden days by crews of departing Dutch ships.
 From Mussolini he took the idea of clothing his partisans in black shirts. His platform was a muzzy attack on democracy as being weak in it's fight on Communism, and a general set of promises of efficiency in government and better times for most of the people. Like the Nazis, he adopted strong dose of anti Semitism.
 The Dutch didn't take him ser iously until 1883. Hitler came to power in Germany and there was a bad business depression in Hol- land, with consequent unemploy- the rural districts bordering on the German frontier and among the disillusioned workmen in the indus trial cities. In the election of 1855, he boiled eight per cent of the country's total vote and some of his followers were elected to Parlia- ment.
 From that time on his decline be-
