Would Limit Each Person to
 Two Drinks

JUNEAU, Feb. ' (P- Liquor bills fluttered down to the Sen ate introduced by Senators Coch- ran, Patterson and Walker. The longest measure was Patterson's which regulates licensing, requir ing applicants to have five years residence in Alaska and of good character and also not to dis pense or sell more than two drinks to any one person at any one call. It provides that three fourths of all license money go to the Liquor Enforcement Act, to police bars and dispensaries which will be one room affairs on the ground floor with no stools.
 Walkers bill prohibits liquor dispensaries within two hundred feet of schools and churches.
 Cochran's bill provides a legal manner of describing a habitual drunkard and allows relatives to sue dispensaries for damages if liquor is sold to anyone so ad- judged.

 FOR JUDGESH|PS
Governor Baldwin May Establish New District
 Court System
(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. IT, Terms of Judges Edward Mascolo and Theobald E. Conway of the Wa terbury city court have been offl- cially extended to July 1. Gov. Ray mond E. Baldwin yesterday signed the measure passed last week by the house and senate, extending the terms of all minor court judges in the state.
 But for the extension, the judges terms would have technically ex- pired Feb, 8, though under the law judge remains in office until his successor is appointed and qualities
 A scramble for the Waterbury judgeships is underway, with more than a dozen aspirants in the field. Republicans believe that both Wa terbury city court judges will be members of the go.p., ending the present arrangement of having one Democrat and one Republican or the bench.
 The extension of the judges terms was asked by Gov. Baldwin, who said that later in the session he would ask the legislature to con- slider a plan for reform of the minor courts. Two proposals are mentioned about the capitol. One would, en- tirely eliminate city, town and po- lice courts and establish district courts supervised by the state. This would require a constitutional amendment. The other is to transfer most of the city court jurisdiction to the courts of common pleas, with only cases of minor importance to be handled in the city and town courts.

Church Unity Octave
 Will Begin Tomorrow
Catholics to Observe Event Instituted at Graymoor,
 N.Y., Over 30 Years Ago

The eight-day period of prayer known in the Catholic Church as the Church Unity Octave, will be inaugurated on the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter. January 18th. and end on that of the Feast of St. Paul, January 18th. This year, it is anticipated the Catholic faithful throughout the world, in greater numbers than ever before, will ob- serve the Octave. Never since it was instituted at the Monastery of the Fria~s of the Atonement at Graymoor, N. Y, some thirty years ago, has there been such widespread public recognition of the vital im- portance of Unity among Christians to counteract the baneful influences so aggresively seeking to undermine and destroy the Christian heritage.
 There is trend today among non-C Catholic bodies to recognize evils resulting from the numerous divisions and subdivisions among themselves In consequence, more earnest thought and study IS being given to the subejct of Christian faith and practice, and greater num- bers are in sympathy with the ob- jectS of the Church Unity Octave and observe it with pious fervor. In the Church of England (Anglics") no fewer than 1,500 of the clergy men, many of the Religious Com munities and countless numbers of its laity observed the Octave last January.
 In France and Scandinavia, the Protestants are much interested in the movement, and among the or- thodox in many parts of. Europe there has been an especially fine spirit of cooperation in promoting an observance of the Unity Octave.
 The venerable Pontiff, Pope Plus XI., has designated as the Mission Intention of the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith for this month of January, :he same objectives which inspired the launching of the Church Unity Oc- tave movement and wishes the Faithful to recall the invocation from the Litany of the Saints. This invocation reads: Thou s.ouldst vouchsafe to bring back to the Unity of the Church all those who have strayed away. and lead tC the light of the Gospel all unbelievers." s." The Church Unity Octave, in- stituted at Graymoor, N. r., received the sanction and blessing of Pope Plus. K, in December, 1909. Seven years later, in 1916. his successor. Pope enedict XV. by 2apal Brief dated February 18th, in blessing the Octave, extended its observance to the Universal Church.

Marking one of the brightest spots in the years screen entertainment is the giant two for one show open ing at the Warner Brothers State theater this afternoon for three day engagement. .,
 Featured billing goes to the hilar- ious comedy set to music, Going Places, starring Dick Powell, Anil ta Louise, Ronald Reagan, and two great colored stars, Louis Arm strong, the worlds premiere hot trumpeter, and Maxine Sullivan, reigning sensation among swingy singers, who are backed up by a .colored band and chorus.
 In this production Powell is given another fine chance to demonstrate the talents as comedian which he revealed to such good effect in Cowboy From Brooklyn" and the supporting cast is largely made up of actors whose fame as funny men has long been well established, notably Allen Jenkins, Walter Cat lett, Harold Huber and Thurston Hall.
 Playing slightly more sedate roles are Ronald Reagan, Minna Gombell and Larry Williams, while the musi- cal burden is shared with Powell by those two great colored stars, Louis Armstrong.
 Among the four new songs writ ten for the production, one is TO- mantle ballad, while the other three are all highly diverting novelty numbers.
 The film is a farce, and all of its complications arise from the fact that Powell, who is rather .imid salesman in sporting goods store, has decided for business reasons to pass himself off as a famous Aus tralian steeplechase rider. Although his only riding experience has been aback an electric hobby hose, ne is forced to make good on his boasts.
 Following this sequence are some of the most comical sequences ever screened, SO for a laughing good time plan to see this production be- fore the closing performance Thurs day evening.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents the ex- citing newspaper drama of the Record" so-starring Pat O'Brien. and Joan Blondell with Bobby Dead End" Jordan and a host of other favorites. ..., -,
 This picture, however, is removed from the usual run of newspaper pictures because its interest is not limited to the professional exploits of its central characters. It has an unusual theme, which evolves from the warmly human side of the otherwise hard and cynical news paper woman portrayed by Miss Blondell, for it is her successful effort to reform and rehabilitate a tough little street gamin por- trayed by Bobby Jordan, the erst- white "Angel' of the Dead End" sextette.
 Get ready for the big thriller com ing to the State on Friday, Son of Frankenstein", with three of the screens most fearsome character actors, Basil Rathbone, Boris Kar- loff, and Bella Lugosi will thrill and chill you as never before. The management doubts if there are many theatergoers in this vicinity who will have the courage to sit through the entire showing of the picture. u

 If you are in need of mild diure- tic to your kidneys or a pleasant relief from constipation that is causing day and night pains, nerv- ousness and many other outward symptoms, you should go today to ApothecarieS Hall Co.,, and let the Vendol Man explain how this medi- cine has helped lot of people liv- ing right here in town, of the same troubles. Fere is what Mrs. Julia MOutinho, residing on Jackson St., Thomaston, Conn, whose husband is employed at Chase Metal Co.,, says:
 Suffering as I did, you can un- derStand how anyone would be al- most desperate for relief. I'd been constipated for quite some time, and in the past year a severe backache developed that never seemed able to get rid of. These aches seemed to be with me every day and stay with me into the night. I lost my appetite, too, yet couldn't eat even the scantiest meal without suffering afterwards from indigestion, sour ness, and nausea. My nerves were also pretty well shot and I never could seem to get a decent nights sleep.
 T tried various things but they didn't fit my case, but almost from the start, Vendol seemed to help me. It acted as diuretic to my kidneys and gave marvellous relief from the constipation, then everything im- proved.

He had vast holding company which about that time controlled over billion dollars in assets. Giannini had gone in for both branch banking and holding com- pany banking.
 The Bank of Italy was branch bank-a corporation operating near ly 300 branches in California. But there was another corporation, called Bancitaly Corporation, which owned stock in the bank and also stocks in all sorts of other corpora tions - insurance, land, building, security, utility and other corpora tions.
 No law permitted a bank-state or national-to operate branches in more than one state. But by the use of the holding company Gian- mini could operate branch banks on both coasts.
 So great was the magic of his name that at this time wild specu- lation famed up in Gainnini bank stocks. In February, 1928, Bank of America stock sold for $280. In April it sold for $500. Hectic trad ing occurred in Bancitaly Corpora tion stock in California and New York. It went to $223 share.
 Giannini begged people not to bid so high-the stock was not worth it, he warned. But America was speculation crazy. Then the stock broke in price, sank 100 points in single day, and thousands were ruined.
 In June, 1928, Giannini was in Italy. He had acquired a bank and branches there - Banca d'Italia. News came that he had a stroke. It was reported he was dying.
 There was panic among investors and spectators. His associates were alarmed. It is said that his right-hand man had to go down to Wall Street with his hat in his hand and beg for help. He got it, the story goes, from Elisha Walker, of Blair & Co. But he was forced to pay heavy price.
 Perhaps the inside story of this will be told when the s. E. c. re- AASthAoS>o tAAC AA1oGOCA AlCAU WCCh. any case, in due time Giannini re- covered his health and returned to New York. He organized a new holding company, the Transamerica Corporation, which took over all the vast holdings of Bancitaly. And then Giannini announced that Transamerica had purchased Blair & Co.,, an old banking house still owned, until then, by an eccentric recluse who lived in ducal retire ment in Bermuda. But the house was dominated by Elisha Walker. Giannini said he needed financial brains in New York.
 He got more brains than he bar gained for. Giannini was, up to then, no match for the smooth and audaciouS Wall Street bankers. In February, 193O, Giannini announced
