Cleaning = Statuette.
Question: have a statuette Of
the kind that was made in large
numbers 80 or more years ago, but
that now can be found only in an
tique shops. 1t would look better
If it were cleaned. What method
and materials should I use?
Answer-That statuette is un-
doubtedly of a kind known as q
Rogers group or something similar.
1t is made of plaster of Paris and
finished with oil paint. You can
clean it with a cloth damp with
soapy water. Follow by wiping with
clear water and then allow to dry
thoroughly. For a final finish you
can repaint 1t with ordinary oil
paint.

 The Abraham Lincoln, or 18th In- ternational Brigade, of which the local youth was a member, left New York for the Spanish war in Jan- uary, 1888. The brigade was 4,700 strong on making its departure, but only 700 came back.

 FIGHT STATUS

New York, March 9-(UP)-Pro- moter Mike Jacobs announced to- day that he would appear before the New York State Athletic Com mission next Tuesday to submit contracts for the Joe Louis Tony Galento heavyweight championship fight.
 Jacobs intends to hold the fight late in June and the site will de- pend on whether the commission approves or rejects it. Bill Brown, one of the commissioners, has been quoted as saying he will vote against sanctioning the fight in New York because Galento has not earned a chance to meet Louis.
 If the commission disapproves of the match, 1t was believed Jacobs will hold the fight in Philadelphia or New Jersey.

DEWEY CHANGES
 FOR PRESIDENT

(Continued from Page D
 his defeat last November when he was Republican nominee for gover- nor of New York. The politically re- markable thing about these two hurdles is that Dewey seems to have cleared them without slowing his political pace. Hines was con- victed in a second trial and 1t ap- pears that many observers outside New York believe Dewey came so close to election last November that he is entitled to credit for a moral victory and should remain 8 presi- dential eligible.
 It may be observed here that when non-political visitors come to Washington and are questioned about Republican sentiment back home they often start off with Dewey's name and follow up with Sen. Arthur A, Vandenburg, r. Mich, Sen. Robert P. Taft, r., Ohio, and hatful of others.
 Is Not Stopped
 Confusing to political dopesters is failure of last Novenber,s defeat to stop Dewey. But grounds for even more fundamental argument is the question of whether Dewey gains or loses through the current wids- spread discussion of his presidential chances. It is political history that the man who gets too far in front too soon is likely to be cut down in massed attack by his potential op- ponents. Dewey unquestionably is a shining lonely target today.
 The Dewey boom is of strictly n-Washington origin. Congress- ional leaders of the Republican party are passing the spotlight around among the hopeful or poten- tial nominees with fine impartiality. A beginning was made Feb. 13 when a geographical cross section of old and new Republican faces was as- sembled for inspection at a Lincoln Day banquet in New York City. The next such parade will take place here March 16.

 Report of Captain Mcdonald of Truck 3, East Main street, was that the couple were pretty well broken up" from his observation. But con- dition of MT. and Mrs. Rose was such that taking of x-rays was de- layed.
 That the condition of the highway was dangerous was evidenced by g report received by The Democrat concerning another accident at the same spot at about II o'clock today.
 Another Car Almost Over
 Maurice Donovan, well-known in- surance man, skidded at the same spot and his car came to rest with his front wheels hanging over the wall on the brink of the drop to the river.
 While the police ambulance, driven by Patrolman Edward Dunn, took MT. Rose to the hospital, the Waterbury hospital ambulance car- ried his wife there.
 Later, the pocketbook of Mrs. Rose was found by police and is being held for her by Sergt. Bernard Burns at headquarters.
 The police sent out three motor

patrols, the wagon, ambulance, and several more police to handle traf- fic and assist in getting the couple out of the car.
 Word of the accident spread throughout the city and The Dem- ocrat was besieged by telephone calls from persons who had heard partial detail and wanted to learn the facts of the case.
 Late Hospital Report
 Report at ? o'clock from Water bury hospital on the condition of MT. and Mrs. Rose was that both are suffering from exposure and shock. The condition of MT. Rose was reported less serious than at first thought but both may have in- ternal injuries, authorities said.
 The car landed in about 3 to 4 feet of water and the couple, un- conscious from the impact of the 25- foot drop to the river, were partial ly immersed. The hospital attend ants were encountering difficulty with overcoming the effects of ex- posture.

 Drunk Test Beaten
 Hartford, Conn, March 9-(UP)- The judiciary committee today voted unfavorably on bill proposed by Prof Yandell Henderson of Yale University which would determine by blood test whether an automo- bile operator was drunk.
 The test, according to Prof. Hem derson, well-known for his scientific experiments, would show clearly the amount of alcohol in the blood. Half 8 milligram of alcohol in one cubic centimeter of blood, the professor said, would be the dividing line for safe driving.
 On an empty stomach, he said, one cocktail or highball would show 8 driver to be drunk, under terms of the test. On 8 full stomach, two cocktails would be necessary to dis qualify driver.
 Prof. Henderson said 8 person with less than one milligram of al- cohol in his blood would be: "dry and decent"
 One to two milligrams:-"Delight- full and devilish."
 Two to three Milligrams:-"Delin quent and disgusting"
 Three to four milligrams-"Dizzy and deliriouS."
 Four to five milligrams:-"Dazed and dejected."
 More than five:-"Dead drunk"

 The trio, with Miss Reed as an alleged "go-between" had approach ed Mrs. Gagnon in attempt to have her pay $500 to satisfy the bopd- ing company" and they were ar- rested when the woman, through her attorney, reported the matter to Prosecutor Frank T. Healey, of the city court"
 Goldberg told Judge Conway and Prosecutor Charles R. Summa in court today that he had lived in Connecticut all but two years of his life; that he had been employed by local companies for the past IA years since his marriage. He has several brothers and sisters and his parents live in Colchester, he said, moving there from Marlborough, Conn, where the yhad a farm.

The property at 61 Keefe street, described as brick house and well furnished", Is in Mrs. Goldberg's name, 1t was remarked. The Gold bergs have three children, the court was informed.

 Attorney Lawlor remarked that the responsibility" of his clients was proved by the ability of two of the defendants to provide the $5 ,000 bail in his plea for reduction of Goldberg's bond.
 Judge Conway, after hearing Goldberg, remarked that he felt reduction of the bond was "indicat- edin this case" and cut the bond from $5 ,000 to $3.500 which the de. fendant was attempting to raise at noon today.
