 A. These dates are common and have a premium value only if in un- circulated or proof condition.
 @. I have some U. S. paper money. The amounts are 10 cents, 25 cents, and 50 cents. Are these still redeemable? Are they worth any premiums? J. D., Waterbury.

WAR ANNIVERSARY PROGRAM PLANNED
Four Prominent Speakers to Take Part in Italian
 Veterans Ceremonies

Four distinguished speakers will be featured on a program of the Waterbury chapter, Italian World War veterans, and the auxiliary, on May 28 in Liberty hall. The cere- mony will be held in observance of the anniversary of Italy's entrance into the World War, and also the founding of the Italian empire three years ago.
 The speakers will be Mrs. Frida Perarbo Smith, of Boston; Pasquale DeCicco, Italian vice-consul at New Haven; Dr. Vinzo Comito, we'll known Italian newspaperman; and Mrs. Maria Cristina Gregori of Dan- bury.
 Mrs. Smith, a Yankee by birth, is the only representative of the Italian Red Cross in this country. During the World War, she served four years with the Italian orgari- ization and later found the Italian League Auxiliary in this country. She has since visited Italy often, and has been received by Mussolini and the King and Queen. She will speak in Italian.
 Both MT. DeCicco and MT. Con- ito are well-known in Waterbury, having spoken at a number of events sponsored by the Veterans and other societies. Mrs. Gregori was a recent speaker at a celebration spon- sored by the Veterans in commen- oration of the founding of Rome.
 The auxiliary's arrangements com- mittee includes Mrs. Domenic Bar- bierio, Mrs. Antonio DiCrosta. Mrs. Concetta Biondi, Mrs. Maria Bellini, Mrs. Giovannina Calabro, Mrs. Rosa Casani, Mrs. Linda Falzone, Mrs. Giovannina Genua, Mrs. Angeline Macchiarelli, Mrs. Antonietta Ca- poraso, Mrs. Lena Capodanno, Mrs. Anna Mastroianni and Mrs. Con- cetta Barbieri.

PARK BILL
IS ADOPTED
BY HOUSE

At Lansing on Tuesday, the House
voted SO to q in passing the McCaIlum
biz which would authorize creation Of
Huron Clinton Metropolitan author
ity to acquire and develop parks along
the two rivers named. The bill goes
back to the Senate for concurrence in
several minor amendments
Providing Governor Dickinson signs
the bill, the issue OF creating such an
authority win 60 to the voters at the
1910 election.
Five counties are involved In the
measure, Wayne, Oakland, Macomb
Washtenaw and Livingston
Representative Fred J. Gartner, OF
Wyandotte consistently opposed the
measure, on the ground that 1t would
be unjust to Wayne county, and a
luxury which the taxpayers cannot af-
ford under present conditions. He
showed that while Wayne county
would contribute. $4,000 a year In
taxes toward the program, the four
other counties would be assessed only
100000 altogether.
He conceded that the park scheme
was fine dream" but contended
the present was an inopportune time
for adding an additional tax burden.

vOus ailment, that she was respondent,
and had threatened suicide before.
Deceased was 80 years OF age. Be
sides her husband, she is survived by
a daughter, Evelyn; her mother, Mrs.
Bertha LebengoOd of Tiffin, Ohio .
