approved by the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee, is s150,OO0, 900 less
than the amount asked by President
Roosevelt to continue w. P. A. op-
erations until June 30.
At a conference today, Republican
Senators generally agreed to sup
port the $725, 100000 figure. Some in
the group said that not more than
three of the % Republican Senators
would vote for an increase.
Those expected to favor s875, ,000,-
600 were Senators Borah of Idaho

OF Pennsylvania.
Senator McNary of Oregon, the
minority leader, said his partv's
Senator'S would be willing to vote for
additional relief funds to meet any

fore June 30.
Expense Cut Sought.
In the meantime, he said, Repub-
lcans were seeking to make at least
start toward reducing Government
expenditures.
Many conservative Democrats are
expected to join the Republicans in
supporting the $725 900, 900 appro.
priation, and there were general
predictions that the final vote
would be extremely close.
Democratic conservatives were in
frequent conference with Vice
President Garner, who long has ad-
vocated Government economy and
who was said reliably to be support

Autographed By Rockwell Kent Only One Avail-
 able in Connecticut

Hartford, Dec. 8-Only one sheet of imperforate Christmas Seals au- tographed by Rockwell Kent, prom inent American artist who designed the tuberculosis seal this year, will be available in Connecticut, accord ing to an announcement made today by Miss Mabel Baird, campaign di- rector for the State Tuberculosis commission. MT. Kent has auto- graphed only one hundred of the imperforate sheets for the National Tuberculosis association in New York, and these are to be distrib- uted one each to the state tuber- culosis associations and to some of the larger cities throughout the country, thus allowing only one sheet to Connecticut.
 Because of the demand that is anticipated throughout the state for this one special item of interest to collectors, and to assure everyone an opportunity to secure the sheet of seals, 1t has been decided to make the offer by auction and according to the following rules, Miss Baird stated.
 Sealed bids must be mailed to the STATE CHRISTMAS SEAL Dr. RECTOR, P. o. Box 1906, Hartford on or before December goth, post

CAPITAL'S NUMBER ONE DEB TAKES THAT VERY TOUGH JOB IN HER STRIDE
Patricia Hurley Won't Let Hectic Round Of Teas Parties Inte15ere With Her Art

It's her idea that after classes, Patricia misses the many deb luncheons, has snack ct home and takes an afternoon nap. Hav- ing slept from to 3, she IS fresh for the round of afternoon teas and calls.
 Then the dinner dances and supper parties follow. They often last until late, but Patricia doesn't stay. She makes . rule of leaving by 1 or l:30, through her friends often remain until 3 or later.
 It's an accomplishment to be both sensible and the seasons most popular debutante at the same time. Another of Patricia's rules for this is an adequate diet. That means she eats lightly, but more than three times day. KEEPS SELF
 IN GOOD HEALTH
 She isn't concerned with being stylishly underweight. And the re- suit is that while her social life takes lot of energy, she is fresh and buoyant and the strenuous business of coming out" contin- ues to be fun for her.
 Her free mornings are devoted to shopping. The average debu- tante needs from 20 to 30 evening frocks, as many dance slippers, half as many afternoon frocks, suits for mornings In town. And she can always use more.
 Patricia wears browns and greens a lot in the daytime, quite frequently white or black in the evening. She likes the crazy hats in vogue, but favors conservative clothes, and her artists eye sees to the original details of her coS- tunes.
 Engaged as she is with them, Patricia's conversation is not nm- tied to clothes and parties. She likes to talk about art, and she knows what she's talking about. She doesn't like modern art and tells you why. After her debutante sea- son here, she plans to study in New York

Slate of the Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven, to the annual conven- ton of the Connecticut Vegetable Growers association meeting In New Haven yesterday. Not all of these troubles were found on any one farm. Many Of them have been studied at the station and may be satisfactorily controlled, he said.
 The director cautioned growers that new diseases, common else- where, might appear in this state, and gave reports for the several sta- ton departments working on prob lems affecting vegetable crops.

Diseases, Insects } Damage Vegetables
Connecticut Crop This Year Suffered Greatly-Experi-
 ment Station Gives Information on New Disorders

information is used as basis for future studies. A radical difference appeared between lists in 1888, wet year, and 1889, drought season, showing the influence of weather.
 "The station has information on several diseases that are not yet known in Connecticut" the director said. We hope that they never reach us, but If they do, we should know about 1t immediately. One of these is the new bacterial ring rot of potatoes which has struck the crop in neighboring states It causes willing of plants late in the sea- son. Tubers may rot completely, but if harvested early, they exhibit characteristic cracks.
 "It Is probable that brown heart of turnip, internal black of beet and brown rot on caulifiower heads oc- cured in Connecticut in 1889, al- though we have no record of such, These diseases are the result of boron deficiency in the soil and can be controlled. Another disease that Is spreading over the United States is the spotted wilt of tomatoes. Affected fruits show characteristic rings on the surface.
 The carrot rust fly which infests carrots an dcelery, has been found in Connecticut on same heavy soils. The damage Is done by root-feed- ing maggot. This pest has not been observed in recent years, but We are within It's range and should watch for It."
 The review of work in other de- partments included experiments il. soil fertility and management, vege- table breeding, diseases and insects Director Slates report was given ofi | Thursday morning.

Being Number One debutante in the capital Is @ pretty tough fob. To an 18-year-old just out Of school, whose social life has been limited to weekend frater- nity dances, the sped-up could be exhausting. But Patricia has worked out a winter schedule which sounds both sane and gay.
 She was introduced to society earlier this year at Belmont. Bel mont is the eighteenth century plantation of the Lee family near Ieesburg, Va, now the Hurleys' country home.
 The family has taken house in Georgetown this season to make things easier for Patricia Her social life won't leave her much time for the slow-paced pleasures Belmont and US Staples offer.
 Hectic as the round of deb lunches, teas, dinners, dances and supper parties promises to be, Patricia isn't going to spend her winter simply making the rounds. She's going to attend classes at the Corcoran Art Gallery three mornings a week. And most every week she spends another morning or two at the gallery posing as a model for her fellow art students.
 Patricia is one of those vital looking young people, She has thick auburn hair, brown eyes and bright smile for the worlds she Is setting out to conquer.
 Mrs. Patrick Hurley, mother Of the debutante, who is considered by many the most beautiful woman in capital society, has laid down strict rules for her daughters first season.

I. W. A. Is Denied
Right 10 Expand
Present Air Routes
6. A. A. Decision Is Held
Attempt to Ward OFF
Disastrous Competition

Setting its face against disastrous
competition among the domestic air
transport lines which now are be-
ginning to emerge from the red"
after years of financially unprofit-
able operations, the Civil Aero
nautics Authority today denied to
Transcontinental & Western Air,
Inc, the right to operate new routes
or to realign it's present system in
way which would affect the
soundness of the present domestic
air transport set-up.
The c. A. A. ordered to be issued
five certificates of public convent
ence and necessity to T. w. A., the
effect of which will be to conflne
the company's services, both mail
and passenger, to the routes and
stops it was serving when the Civil
Aeronautics Act of 1888 became
effective.
In view of the fact that more
than so applications for new routes
or extensions of present domestic
air transport routes now are pend
ing before the c. A. A., the T. w. A.
decision is regarded as of outstand-
ing Importance,
Didn't Expand Rights.
In this decision, the c. A. A. held
that the so-called grandfather
clause of the Act was not intended
in any way to expand the rights
held by the air carriers but simply
to perpetuate the then existing
rights
The Authority refused to accept
the company's application for GER
tificates that would have permitted
It to fly between any two points on
its widespread system. This would
have permitted the company to
parallel and cross the lines of other
air transport carriers, it was pointed
out.

'Never forget a favor; that's my
motto" He settled back comfort
ably, and I knew I was going to
hear the story.
It wasn't much Of story at that.
The old man. Henkle his name was,
found himself in Portland broke and
with a fierce and urgent desire to
get down to Dover. He boarded
the first train, without ticket or
funds. When Conductor Ellis came
along Henkle explained his predica-
ment and promised to pay the
money back within week.
Well, Ellis, I imagine, smiled to
himself and took a chance. He,
Ellis, had promptly forgotten the
incident, never expecting to see the
amount of that fare, as was dis
played by his demeanor of a few
moments ago.
What struck me as being rather
odd about the whole thing was the
fact that Henkle had but just spoken
of motoring back and forth to Port
land He seemed we'll dressed and
fairly prosperous. Why, then, I
asked myself, should he find himself
broke and stranded in Portland.
The old boy must have read or
