STAMP EXHIBIT
 AUTO DUE HERE
Specimens of All Issues to Be Shown Collectors
 Next Week

An exhibit car of the post office department, displaying specimens of almost all the postage stamps issued by the United States from l847 to the present time, is touring Con- necticut at the present time, and may be in Waterbury some time next week, according to Postmaster Charles A. Babin. The car has just been in Bridgeport, and is scheduled to visit New Haven today. It is to visit Hartford and Water bury and some of the other cities in the state before 1t resumes It's tour of the Atlantic seaboard states, but as yet Postmaster Babin has re- ceived no definite information as to what day 1t will be in Waterbury.
 Eventually, the exhibit will visit most of the large cities all over the country in the interests of stamp collecting, the hobby of both Presi- dent Roosevelt and Toastmaster General James Farley. The issue of a number of commemorative is- sues of stamps in recent years in the interests of philatelists has boosted postal receipts greatly, in addition to increasing interest in the hobby. The stamps in this exhibit are valued at more than one million dollars.

Jehovah Witnesses, 8 religious sect. which has been involved in difficulty with the police of New Britain, Bristol, Hartford, New Haven and other cities of the state and who frequently invade Water bury won two decisions in the Sup reme Court of Errors in a decision filed yesterday, but lost a very inc portant point in the third ruling filed.
 Paraded Here
 About two weeks ago the "Wit- nesses" attempted to stage an if1l- prompt parade here, but were re- strained by the police. They later met in Garden hall and heard re- corded speeches of Judge Ruther- ford who is nationally known for his bitter attacks on various reli- gions, the Roman Catholic chiefly.
 Several months ago they visited Waterbury selling booklets and In promotion of their sales played vic- trola records of fiery speeches. They left Waterbury before any trouble resulted.
 However the Supreme Court yes- terday in upholding decision of the Superior Court declared.
 "One will not be permitted to commit a breach of the peace under the guise of preaching the gospel" The decision found Jesse Cantwell, a Jehovah Witness, guilty on a breach of peace charge for allegedly playing a photograph record, "En- emies," which attacked the Catholic religion, to two Catholics.
 Played Record
 Cantwell allegedly stopped the Catholics on the street and asked permission to play the record to them. The Catholics consented, al- lcgedly not knowing what was on the record. Upon hearing the rec ord, the Catholics stated that they had desire to strike Cantwell.
 The court said that a person may be guilty of breach of the peace if his acts tend to provoke another to the point of violence or disturbance of the peace and that "the playing for auditor by local Catholics of a record violently attacking their re- lig!on and church could well be found to constitute the offense charged"
 Tn the cases of two other Jehovah Witnesses, Russell Cantwell and Ann Rigby, both charged with brsach of the peace for making a house to house canvass in a Catho- lie section of New Haven and of- fesfng to self a book which con- tai1ed an attack on the Catholic religion, the court held that a breach of peace conviction in the same lower court could not stand because there was nothing offen- sive in the manner in which the two witnesses had made the can- vass and offer

TRAFFIC OFFICER
 HERMAN IGNORED
Veteran of 20 Years Alp. pointed Sergeant; Park
 ing Code Delayed

Two promotions were made at a meeting of the police commission yesterday afternoon and the sub- jects of all-night parking and one. way streets were discussed.
 Traffic Officer James Kiernan who for a number of years has been on duty at East Main street and Mill streets, was promoted tC sergeant to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Sergeant Patrick McCabe. Sergeant Kiernan has beer on the force % years. Supernum. erary Patrolman James H. Jordan was made a regular patrolman Both men were promoted by unani- nous vote of the board.
 Following the promotions, Comsr Maurice Sweeney made a motion that the board settle once and fol all the question of all-night park. ing and one way streets. He said garage owners and the fire depart ment have been complaining that cars are left in the street all night He suggested that some action bt finally taken as the matter has been under consideration for many months. Comsr. Sweeney suggested that action be taken only on the all night parking measure and the one-way streets.
 However, Comsr. Wendell Gross objected. bringing as his chief point of objection the question of all day parking. and suggesting that an ordinance against this practice would be hard on people, especial ly factory workers, who drive to work, and park their cars near their places of employment. Other com missioners also objected, and agreed with Comsr. Cross that "a lot of things should be investigated" be- fore taking any definite action.
 It is understood that the proposed day parking ordinance sets a limit of two hours parking on any street while the proposed night ordinance prohibits parking on the streets from 2 a. m. to 5 a. m, except by physi- clans.
 It was finally agreed that the matter would be discussed at a meeting of the traffic committee or Monday night at 7:30 o'clock. All the board members are invited tS take part.

Surprisel The bathroom isn't the . most dangerous room in the house.
 Legend, ugly rumors and old wives tales to the contrary, the bathroom actually was the scene of fewer home accidents than al- most any other rooms in the house in study of 4600 home accidents occurring in Chicago.
 The 1889 edition of Accident Facts, the National Safety Coun- cil's statistical yearbook, reports the study and ranks the rooms of the average house with respect to the number of accidents that oc- cur there, as follows:
 Stairs and steps-23 per cent Yard, 19 per cent: Kitchen, 18 per cent; Living room. 9 per cent; Porch, 2 per cent; Bedroom, per cent; Basement, 6 per cent.
 Others (dining room, bathroom, pantry, vestibule, hallways)-l1 per cent.
