 Truly, haven't felt so well in years and owe it all to taking ven- dol" are the enthusiastic words of Mrs. Alfred Cody of 56 Jewelry St., Waterbury, in a statement recon- mending this great Root, Herb and Alkaline medicine.
 T don't know what I would have done had I not found vendol when did. Constipation had been bother ing me for the longest time, and here of late just everything went wrong. I lost all desire for food, and although I ate just about enough to keep me alive, meals always dis tressed me with indigestion, quanti- ties of painful gas, cramps. acid- risings and heartburn. Headaches were by no means strangers to me, and my nerves were so ragged that I almost forgot what sound sleep was like.
 T heard of 50 many local people getting relief in cases similar to mine, however. that determined to try vendol myself.

This week, fraught with perils of the ex- animation period is the longest week of the school year for those who hover on the margin and heavy for the many who look forward to three months of release from drudgery, as they call it.

 When complaint was made to Hig- ley upon his next application for entertainment, which was after a somewhat longer absence than was usual with him, he presented cop per bearing the words-"Value me as you please" T am good cop per" (See likeness of same at top of this article). Whether this change of base" facilitated the fi- nancial designs of the ancient coiner or not we do not know; sure we are, however, that should he be aware of the immense appreciation in the value of his coppers, since that day, it would amply reward him for the insulting conduct of the publi- can.
 We cannot vouch for the truth of this legend" but we believe those first issued coppers bore the words -"The value of three pence" and whatever the cause, subsequent is- sues more motlestly requested the public to value them according to their own ideas of propriety, al- though they did not refrain from afterwards proclaiming their own merits.
 This is one of several articles in a series that will be published in The Democrat up to and during National Coin Week, March 25 to 31.

THE CRANKY OR HIGLEY TOKENS

It was during the early 18th cen- tury that the first coins were struck in Connecticut. These were the Granby three pence. pr. Samuel Higley, physician and blacksmith, IS generally credited with cutting the dies, as well as coining, of thess coppers.
 The metal required in the mint ing of these pieces was obtained from the mines at Copper Hill" in the town of Granby, then a part of Simsbury.
 These coppers, owing to the fine quality of the metal of which they were composed, were much in fa- Vor as an alloy for gold and it is probably due in part to this fact that they are now so extremely rare. We are informed of an old goldsmith who excused himself for not having finished string of gold beads at the appointed time, as he was unable to find Higley copper with which to alloy the gold, thus indicating that they were not cas- fly obtainable over 100 years ago.
 The Granby coppers were coined without sanction of law for three years, from 1737 to 1739 inclusive, specimens being extant bearing these dates, though we know of none dated 1738.
 There is the story related of Higley. that being a. frequent wis., itor at the public house, where at that time liquors were a common and unproh'bited article of traffic, he was accustomed to pay his "scot" in his own coin and the coffers of the dram-seller soon became over-

MARRIAGESLAG DESPITE BONUS
 PLAN IN ITALY
Slump Occurs in Face of $6,OOO,O 900 in Loans,
 Prizes
By STEWART BROWN


 United Press Staff Corrpesondent)
 Rome. CUP)To encourage Italians to marry and produce more chil- dren the Fascist regime is spending an average of almost $6,000, 900 an- nually in baby prizes and marriage loans, a study of official statistics reveals.
 The results have not been en- tirely encouraging to Premier Be- into Mussolini. Last year there was a decline of almost 12 per cent in the number of marriages, although the number of births increased roughly 5 per cent compared to the previous year.
 Although there were fewer wed- dingS, the government spent ap- proximately $4,500, 900 on marriage loans," an institution which was initiated at the close of 1897. Since March, 1885, when the more babies" campaign was launched, the gov- ernment has spent more than $13,- 100000 in prizes to mothers, bonuses for triplets, and similar gifts. Years Gains 424,394
 The increased birth-rate regis tered last year (from 22.7 per 1000 to 23.6 brought 46,295 more babies than in 1887. Because births ex- ceeded deaths there was an in- crease of 424,394 in the nations population, bringing the total up to 44,056, 900, which is almost 4,000, ,000 more than when Mussolini came to power. He hopes to bring it up to 60,000, 900 before 1860.
 But Mussolini isn't satisfied. Be- fore the war Italy'S birth-rate was well over 30 per 1000 inhabitants. Last year it was only 23.6 per 1000. Mussolini had hoped the system of marriage loans and baby prizes would bring greater increase in the marriage and birth-rate.
 Bachelors Heavily Taxed
 The governmet has done every- thing in its power to oblige Italians to marry and rear famhes. In ad. dition to the financial attractions offered by the government in the way of marriage loans and baby prizes, there are definite punitive measures against bachelors and childless families.
 A government employe cannot ob- tain promotion if he does not marry. Employes with large families get promotion and special bonuses in proportion to the number of chil- dren. The bonus only amounts to a few lire per week per child. Employees of private firms obtain the same treatment.
 Bachelors are taxed 25 per cent more than married men. Heads of large families get special tax rebates, reductions on the railways and other discounts.
 Despite all these measures there does not appear any great rush to rear large families. Foreign observ- CTS believe two factors are respon- sible; first, natural decline in the fecundity of Italian women, and second, the increasing cost of liv- ing in Italy, which makes it more difficult to support larger families, even with the help of government loans and prizes.

MINIMUM WAGES

 At the same time, Andrews an- ncllnced that he may recommend tG congress that the wage-hour act b0 amended to permit employers to compensate workers with time-and- a-half off instead of cash for work in excess of the 44-hour-a week maximum. He said other amend mcnts were being considered which would provide special treatment for rural telephone operators, home workers, white collar" workers and workers in industries processing raw materials in the areas where they

ject is important; but distance from camera to subject doesn't matter, as far as illumination is concerned. Several of the special small flash bulbs can be carried in an overcoat pocket. These are convenient to car. ry on hike. They can be used for box-camera pictures if high speed film is employed-but, of course, since the small bulb yields less light than large bulb, it must be placed nearer the subject.
 With flash bulbs, you can picture winter sports subjects at night, and other outdoor activities, though without special flash bulb syn- chronizer, do not attempt to "stop" very rapid action. Interesting light ing effects can be obtained by flash. ing the bulb from unusual positions -for example, holding 1t low to ob. tain lighting angie which suggests firelight.
 With time exposures, excellent pictures can be obtained of campfire scenes at the skating rink or pond. Campfire time" exposures can be made without using flash bulb--or, the bulb can be flashed just at the end of the exposure, to obtain added detail in the scene. For true firelight pictures, the high speed panchro' matic films are best.
 Take your camera along whenever you go on skating or sleighing ex- cursion, or moonlight hike. A few flash bulbs enable you to use the camera--and flash" pictures are always unusual and interesting.

r INTIL a few years ago, snapshots O outdoors at night were rather hard to make. Now, thanks to extra high speed film, thousands of snap shooters take them. The fast film plus a fast lens is sufficient for brightly-lighted street scenes and fiood-lighted buildings.
 For outdoor pictures of people at night, all one needs is camera that can be set for time exposure, and a flash" bulb in it's inexpensive fiashlight-type holder.
 ' To take such pictures, simply place the camera on a firm support, and set the shutter for "time." Posi- tion the subject in front of the cam era, click the shutter open, flash the bulb and close the shutter. If, the surroundings are dark and there are no lights within the view of the lens. the camera may be held in the hand.
 For flash pictures, the camera can be loaded either with regular .chrome type" film or one of the panchromatic films. The distance be- tween the flash bulb and the subject determines the size lens opening you should use.
 Here are suggested distances from bulb to subject, outdoors, when you use a No. 1O-size bulb with the metal reflector that Is part of the small battery operated holder: for "chrome" type film, z feet; for high speed film, IA feet. These distances will provide correct exposure when you use box camera, or a camera with anastigmat lens set at f16. Correct distance from light to sub
