Local Women
 GiUen Rating
 As Historians

Waterbury women have a greater and more accurate knowledge of Connecticut his- tory than their husbands, ac- cording Co results of a survey completed by the Connecticut Circle Magazine.
 Elliott Lee, editor of the magazine, revealed that wom- en of this city correctly an- swered 61 per cent of the ques- tions included in a recent ques- tionaire, while tho mems aver age was 42 per cent. Questions used in the survey were based entirely on characters and events which have figured im- portantly i'm Connecticut his- tory.
 Political subjects found the men far in advance of women, however. In questions on local and national government ac- tivltles and policies, the num- Der of correct answers record ed for men indicated q p0liti- cal knowledge of almost 31 per cent more than that held by women, the Connecticut Cir cle's survey revealed.

 NEW LEGISLATION
Two Bills Pending in Leg islature Given Support
 of Association
iSpeciaI to The Democrat

Special to The DemOcrat)
 Branford, Feb. 2l.-Firemen from all parts of the state will gather at the state capitol in Hartford on February 28 in support of two bills which the members of the judici- ary committee of the legislature will hear, according to an announcement made here today by Thomas F. Bracken, chairman of the legislative committee of the Connecticut State Firemen's association and one of the organizations past presidents.
 Chairman Bracken will deliver an address over Station VERY on next Sunday afternoon from 12:l5 p. m. to 12:30 D. m. He will be intro- duced by John E. Graham of Wa terbury, president of the state fireifien's association.
 The two bills to be heard by the Judiciary committee which the fire men throughout the state are eager to see become laws, pertain to the liability of municipalities for acci- dents while fire apparatus is en- route to an alarm fire. At the pres ent time drivers of municipal-owned apparatus are held personally re- sponsible in the event of a crash, although they contend they are per- forming a governmental function and should be dissolved of liabil- ity.
 Another bill to be heard relates to "a municipality that shall, through its fire chief, summon to It's aid in fire emergency the fire men or fire apparatus of any other municipality, be liable for and as- sume the liability to the extent of all injuries or damages incurred during the emergency"

Adeodata Cardinal Piazza was born at Vigo de Cadore near Belluno Sept. 30, 1874. A member of the Discalced Carmelites, Piazza served from 1915 to 1918 as military chap lain on the Italian front.

Five years later he was elected patriarch of Venice.

Beebe, manager of the Southern New England Tele- phone Company, showed moving and sound pictures of the recent hurri- cane and flood.
