Job Assignments to WPA Made From Direct Re.
 lief Rolls

New Haven, July 28.-Transfer of approximately 1870 citizens from the direct relief rolls of nearly 40 Connecticut cities and towns to job assignments with the Work Pro- jects Administration has been ef- fected during the current week, acc cording to a statement today by State Administrator Vincent J. Sul- livan.
 These assignments to WPA em- ployment are in the nature of re- placements for those separated from their jobs because of the provisions of the new relief act which makes mandatory the release of all pro- jevt workers who have records of 18 months, or more, continuous WPA employment. Interviews for the purpose of assigning new work CTS started in the larger commurli- ties on Monday and have continued throughout the week.
 MT. Sullivan announced that the interviews will continue until the direct releif rolls have been care- fully scrutinized and as many em- pioyable persons as 1t Is possible to absorb have been assigned to jobs with WPA. Said MT. Sullivan: we are using every resource at our command to effect these replace ments with a minimum of lost time. While there are still many conn munities where interviews have not yet been held, they will be tak- en care of as rapidly as 1t IS hu- manly possible to do so."
 Cities and towns in New Haven county where interviews have been held and the number of assign ments issued in each place follow: New Haven county: Ansonia, 30; Derby 13; East Haven 10; Hamdeli IS; Meriden 15; Naugatuck, "A; New Haven, 2l7; Waterbury, 190; West Haven, 47

 Stark naked, when he strolled into the arms of Patrolman Will liam O'Dea, he was soon fully clothed in the Jail cell block at headquarters.

The Federal government recently set up a United States Travel Bureau with offices in Wash ington, New York and San Fran cisco, to encourage and guide the travel industry. Thirty American states now provide money and bur- eaus to push travel in their areas.
 With two Fairs going simultan- eously in the United States, 1889 promises to be the biggest travel year yet. Some travel authorities believe as much as $1,0O0, ,000, 900 in new business may accrue. The railroads, which reduced rates for the purpose, are looking forward to a 12 to 20 per cent increase in business. The ship lines expect about IS per cent more in volume. The bus interests await an eight to fifteen per cent jump upwards.
