and she uses this knowledge to
assemble a smart and fashionable
wardrobe with the least possible
expense
For one thing, the shops are very
willing and eager to help. Almost
all of the larger stores and count
less small shops are equipped to
supply her demand for clothes that
look like million and cost a
minimum. The department stores
have inexpensive or budget depart
ments that cater to the business
girl, and if you don't think the
styles are good looking you just
haven't shopped around.
Manufacturers Rely
Upon the Quantity.
Being amazed by a price tag is
one of the greatest feminine joys,
and the clothes we've seen In local
stores certainly are surprisingly low
in price. When the career girl
shops for clothes, she wants the
same lines, styles and colors that
are found in high-priced models
and gets them. The manufacturers
of low-priced dresses faithfully
follow the fashion DEGREES set by
leading designers and stylists, and
contrive to produce the same effect.
Our New York correspondent writes
that some Seventh avenue manu-
facturers count their profits in pen
mics, depending upon the quantity
of sales to make the venture worth
while. It Is a well-known fact,
however, that new rayon materials
permit inexpensive dresses to look
well, retain their shape and color
and present smart appearance.
These manufacturers employ no de-
signers, but get their ideas from
the Fifth avenue shops and from
fashion magazines and shows. So,
their clothes are just as up-to-the-
minute as any others.
Now, don't think for one minute
that we advocate buying very, very
1ow-priced dresses if you can easily
afford better ones. It IS certainly
obvious that you are going to get
better-q quality materials, higher
styles, better trimming and more
exclusive modes for more money,
but for the small-salaried girl who
knows she must be well dressed for
her own satisfaction and for her
advancement in the business world,
dresses which are low in price but
high in fashion interest are posi-
lively tops"
Touring around some of the
budget shops recently, we were i'm
pressed by the general air of good
taste to be found In these clothes
for all occasions. Generally, the
high fashions of the season have
been modified, but are still very
prominent. There are draped street
dresses, cut very simply, and they

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
have been trying to get enamel
for the woodwork of my sun porch
in a warm butter yellow, but all the
ones I can find seem to be nearer
canary yellow. Can you suggest
where or how I may get the shade of
paint I desire?
M. L. B.
Answer:
Why not mix it yourself or get
your painter to do it for you? Buy
white enamel and a tube of raw
Italian sienna and I think you will
get just what you want. Mix your
coloring in small container with
a little turpentine to smooth it up
and then add to your paint. Start
with a small amount and increase
to the desired shade.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I am attempting to do over a chair
| In nv living room and would like to
use covered buttons on the back and
seat. May these be purchased in
the shops, or where do get them?
How are they attached?
Answer:
should think you would want the
buttons covered to match the up
holstery of the chair. Take a piece
of your material to any of the de-
partment stores and they will cover
the button molds for you. You can
sew them on yourself with the aid
of a long upholsterer's needle and
heavy cord before you put the back
on your chair.

BY JOSEPH S. EDGERfON,

Has Nazi Germany, which gave
the world the "vest-pocket" battle
ship, turned to vest-pocket sub
marine in its war against British
sea power?
The British government, in a re-
cent communique announcing the
destruction in one day of three Ger
man submarines. described two of
them as being of ocean-going types
and one as being smaller
This is the first official mention of
type of submarine other than the
well-known U-boat type, which COM
pares generally in size with those
of other powers.
Naval officers here have received
reports of an entirely new type of
German submarine, of which there
also have been hints in news dis
patches. According to these reports,
which are not yet authenticated, the
new undersea boats are about a
fifth the size of the standard Ger
man ocean-going submarine. weigh
ing in the neighborhood of 100 tons.
surface displacement They are said
to be manned by a crew of IL officers
and men.
The reports suggest that these
small submarines are being carried
to battle zones in converted mer-
chant ships, which lower them over
board and act as tenders during
operations. Since so small a sub
marine would have exceedingly linn
tied range and would lack the sea-
worthiness required for operating in
rough seas, it is indicated that the
function of such submarine would
be the patrolling of sheltered, shoal
waters close to shore on purely de-
fensive missions, near Germany, or
on limited offensive missions under
favorable conditions in enemy waters
where definite targets are assigned.
It is recalled that the early United
States submarines were about the

OF essential metals and even more

ported that the new underseas boats
can be constructed rapidly, at a cost
of $500,0c0 each or less. Speed of
construction and cheapness also
would be powerful incentives to a
nation under military and economic
pressure as Germany is today.

Local Truck Strike Is Becoming More Violent

Beaten about the head and body when their truck was forced to the curb by a car containing the strik- CTS on Freight street, opposite the H. s. Coe O., at about 5 o'clock yesterday, the injured men were treated for serious cuts and bruises by Dr. Harold F. Morrill,.
 Appear In Court
 They appeared in city court this morning, however, to attempt iden- tification of their assailants. To the amazement of police and court of- ficials, three of the alleged assail- ants were picked out of the crowd of spectators by Steinman and Granger.
 After cases of the first four had been continued, the three 'specta- tors" Sylvester, Palmento and Jo- seph Barra were held on suspicion, the charges later changed to as- sault and breach of the peace when Lieutenant Hobart and Officer Cava- naugh continued questioning C the men. Steinman, his right eye blackened and swollen, and Granger, with a | lip cut caught together and both commenting on bruises they believed were occasioned by boots of their attackers after they had been knock ed to the ground, described the fracas as a concerted attack.
 Disclaims Responsibility
 Meanwhile, Rudolph Tata, busi- ness agent of the union, disclaimed responsibility for the affair, saying i that he was every sorry this hap pened" but that the union would continue its demands on the pro- duce dealers, which include wage increases and adoption of the closed shop"
 Story of Beating
 The version of the beating of the non-union employees given by An thony Barra to police included the following excerpts:

 Benny, pale and nervous, pleaded not guilty to the smuggling charge yesterday. He faces a maximum of six years in prison and Q 415,OO0 fine, little more than he is re- puted to earn in a week from his various entertainment ventures.

tier, Jan. 11.-UP) Thousands of nsurgent troops were reported rush. ing to the Estremadura front in southwestern Spain today in an effort to halt what was developing into the largest Loyalist offensive of the war. The Loyalists, hoping to cut Nationalist territory in halves and gain control of the richest coal area, claimed they were meeting the incoming insurgents at every turn, and, in many cases, preventing their reaching the front. Official Nation alist reports minimized the import ance of the Loyalist offensive and told of the great success of their offensive in Catalonia.
 The Loyalists reported that at least three insurgent divisions had been withdrawn from the Catalan front to bolster insurgent lines in the southwest, 400 miles away. Gen. eralissimo Francisco Franco's head quarters retorted that mot one divi- sion" had been taken from the Cata, lonian front lines. Independent re- ports indicated, however, that Fran co had recalled thousands of troops on furlough, ordered up additional class of conscriptS and called out civil guards to meet the Loyalist threat.

M. MargiOtta Sues Ralph DevinO for Fall at Gas

Mark Margiotta of this city asks damages of $5,OOO from Ralph De- vino, doing business as the Matta- tuck oil company of this city, in a civil action filed in common pleas court this morning for injuries sls- tained May g, 1888, when he fell on an alleged defective stone step at gasoline station at the corner of Meadow and Field street, poS- sessed by the defendant.
 Mir. Margiotta complains that the defendant, who assumed the lia- bility and responsibility of the sta- tion which was sublet to Sidney Morcey, was negligent in allowing the stone steps leading to the gas station office in being depressed and out of repair.
 The plaintiff contends that on the date of his accident he was on the premises paying bill when he slipped and fell suffering hema- tona under the left index nail, bruises along the right shin-bone, a sprain of the lumbo-sacral region which necessitated medical treat ment for six weeks and a shock to his nervous system.

England's Policy
 Bitterly Condemned
Resolution of Protest Over Proposed Betrayal Adopted
 at Mass Meeting; Speakers Criticize England

A resolution condemning Eng Hands announced policy of restrict ing Jewish immigration into Pales- tine was unanimously adopted by Waterbury Zionist Jewry, meeting en Imasse at the Wilby high school au- lditorium last night. SympathlzerS of the Zionist cause numbered ap- proximately 1000, and speakers in cluded J. Francis Smith, chairman of the Democratic state central committee, and Rev. T. Leroy Crosby, pastor of the South Fed erated church, besides Jewish ora tors.
 Rabbi Moses D. Sheinkopf, of the Beth Israel synagogue, chairman of the meeting, said:
 "The development of Palestine as our home has been 2,000 year old dream" he asserted. Must we now return to a nightmare, when iconsummation is so near at hand?
 Great Britain has assumed an obligation to the world. It is irl- credible that she will fail to fulfill i her part of the bargain. But there !, is a danger that the same feeble hand that signed the Munich pact, the same feeble person will give m 1 to force.
 We Jews will never permit a repetition of the Munich pact. We ask President Roosevelt to inter cede for us, to use his influence so that the gates of Palestine shall remain open to hundreds of thou sands of oppressed Jews. We shall never abandon our position ill Palestine. We shall never renounce our historic claim to live as free nation in Palestine. Justice and fright must prevail in this world" Rabbi Zigmund
 I Rabbi Maurice L. zigmund of Temple Israel declared that Britain's action should not come as a sur prise.
 "A country that would betray ] Czecho-S -Slovakia and Span and any small nation that could not protect itself, would betray the Jews when the Jews cease to be of use to Eng land," he declared.
 "The sense of right and wrong seems to have become dulled," he continued"
 J. Francis Smith asserted that Jews have lived under the dominion of other groups for many years. "They have right to become na- tion and have a national home" He declared that the Balfour man. date, which provided home for the Jewish people was a gesture of gratitude to the Jews for their part in the war.
 Charles Rosengarten, chairman of the emergency Palestine committee, declared that IT Jews of Waterbury fought with the British forces dur ing the World War, and that this community together with World Jewry, has contributed $500, 0,000, 900 into the rehabilitation of Palestine. Resolution

Don't you see you're ruinin me?"
 But htis time Nocky is up against tough customers. In 1887 FBI men began looking into Atlantic City Now Johnson has been indicted along with three others, on charges of evading income taxes. It may be the beginning of the end for one of the last of the old-time political bosses.

But in his three-decade reign, Republican Boss Johnson has con- tinued big, happy-go-lucky, color full dictator whose absolutism arous- es no more than shrug and wry smile among his subjects. And no one gets bigger laugh out of it than Nocky himself.
 Johnson was born in 1884 on the truck farm of an early-settler fam fly. His mother, who lived to be- come a politician also and to hold curbstone forums with younger braves, used to drive the farm wagon herself. His father, Smith Johnson was sheriff several times.
