Scouts Enact Mock We'd ding Climaxing Wequa=
 pauset Season

Waterville. August 26 - At 800 o'clock Thursday evening Camp Wequapauset began it's gala eve ming of barn dancing with lawn social. In attendance were Zeke, Ezra, Hezibel, Maisie and many others in full regalia. A Spanish couple, Carlos and Paprika. capti- vated the eye upon their entrance.
 During the evening a mock wed- ding was performed and the happy pair were united. Michael McGuire was crestfallen as he had tried in vain to win the Spanish senorita. Peter Piper found himself as swords point with the dashing Carlos when he too, attempted to woo Paprika. After a heated duel and the supper completed the barn dancing began with a grand march led by Miss Matilda Jane Mugsby and Master Michael Mcclure. The judges pick ed Janet Bowen and Mary Hogan as the best costumed. This was a difficult task for the judges as every camper looked a winner in her Lest corn fed costume.
 The lodge was no longer camp house. Lanterns hung from the raft CTS. corn filled the sidelines and hay was spread in likely spots for the sparkers. A COW bell hung from the mantel and tolled the finish of each set. Billie Kegel proved a most suc- cessful caller and the music rang forth from Peter Piper's accordion. After set of three dances inter- mission was held and two by two the little couples strolled off to- gether.
 This was only the beginning. The floor show which followed was full of hilarity, melodrama and talent There were four acts and every one played stellar role.
 Typical of the hardy farm folk who so enjoy square dancing. the couples again engaged in another set of dances. Requests were then in order for dance by the staff. In answer to this request the staff did the Virginia reel much to the de- light of the onlookers. The moon was rising as the gay party ended with a rousing Good Night Ladies, but before seeing Nellie. Maude, lola and Olive home each swain served punch and cookies to his country belle.

WOMEN PUT ON
 DEMONSTRATION.
Local Unit Starts Convene ton Battle for Mrs.
 C. C. WOOdhOuse

Women delegates from Waterbury led the move at New Haven Saturday which led to the nomination of Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse of New London for secretary of state, after party leaders had previously decided not to place her on the slate.
 The Waterbury women delegates received 8 tip" that Mrs. Wood house, professor of government at the Connecticut College for Women, New London, and president of the Connecticut Federation of Women's Democratic Clubs, was not to be placed on the ticket. Armed with this information, they set out to buttonhole party leaders, with wo- men from other cities and towns following in their wake.
 David E. FitzGerald, national committeeman, and other party big wigs were in a conference room, de- ciding the makeup of the rest of the ticket. They first refused to lis ten to the women's arguments for Mrs. Woodhouse. Then they offered to give her the nomination for state treasurer.
 That wasn't enough for the wo- men, by any means, and they storm ed to the convention platform. The hall was in a bedlam, as scores of women shouted, We want Mrs. Woodhouse." The platform shivered as women paraded about with dis trict standards.
 The demonstration did the trick. Mrs. Woodhouse was nominated for secretary of state.

 Officials in charge of alien regis tration promise to keep the aliens record secret, and to make it pos sible for him to register privately They cannot, however, keep the neighbors from asking questions and writing letters.
 That is why they urge the alien to register promptly, even if he or iginally entered the United States illegally.

|TORR|NCTONMAN| ADJUSTS CLAIM
Injured Workman Allowed $IOO in Settlement of
 Compensation Charge

Compensation Commissioner James M. Lynch today approved an award of $l00 granted to John Ar coma of Torrington by the Union Hardware O., also of Torrington, in full and final settlement of all his claims against the company. Arr coma suffered an infection of his right second finger on May 8, 1923, which eventually resulted in the loss of the finger. At the time, he re- ceived payments during the period of incapacity, and also for the spe- cific loss of the finger. At hear ing later this year, dispute arose as to whether the commissioner would have jurisdiction to allow further payments which the men demanded, claiming that his disabil- ity was permanent. His employers said that no further payments could be made, as the situation had not changed since the earlier agreement was made, and that more than ten years had passed in the interim. They denied that his disability was permanent. The compromise agree ment reached provided for $100 in final settlement.
 The commissioner also approved the following agreements between the Chase Brass & Copper Co, and three employees.
 With Vernon Hall, of 65 Abbott avenue, $23.68 beginning Aug. 13, for confused ends of the right index and ring fingers; with M. Attarao, of Merline avenue, $14.01 from Aug. g for severe contusions and lacera- tions of the ends of his toes, and with A. Duaskinis, 32 Yale street, Waterville, $15.64 from Aug. 2 for a laceration of the right palm.

20 Years!

The 20th anniversary of woman suffrage today found no formal observance planned in Waterbury, though many recalled the bitter campaign that was fought before, on Aug. 26, 1920, the 18th amend ment became effective.
 Women have learned to appre- ciate the responsibility given them with the vote, according to Mrs. Frederick A. Faust, president Of the Waterbury League of Women Voters. The suffrage amendment resulted in more careful study of issues and candidates, she says.
 There was much speculation at this time in 1920 as to how the women's vote would affect na- tional and state politics. The in- tervening years have shown that women's political sympathies have been about as equally divided as the mems.

Federal Allowance Obtain= ed to Carry Out Defense
 Training Courses

Leavenworth high school and Taft school, Watertown, will benefit by the $259OoO allocated to the Con- necticut State Board of Education for emergency training of industrial workers on Army and Navy equip ment. These are two of the IA train ing centers now in operation. and five more will soon be started in Middletown, New London, Willi- mantle, Thompsonville and Staf- ford Springs.
 The money, which is part of the 5000 ,OO0 appropriated by Congress for such training, was granted Con- necticut by the U. S. Office of Education on recommendation of the National Defense Commission.
 It is expected that 4,000 to 5000 men will be trained in trade school and high school industrial arts shops during the next four months. The 18 centers, in which 1,200 men are now in training, could accom- modate up to 15,000 men on three shift basis during the next four months if industrial demands war ranted. It is expected that a few hundred of the trainees will be talk en from WPA rolls.
 At present throughout the coun- try there are 100000 men and wom- en in training for industrial jobs being created by the preparedness orders in factories. The National Defense Commission estimates that fully 100000 workers, in addition to those now employed, will be needed to meet requirements when the governments armament pro- gram gets fully under way.
 The $259 ,000 granted to Connec- ticut supplements $60,000 which was made available to finance the training program during the sum- mer months.

DEFENSE BOARD
 MEETS IN OTTAWA
Americans, Canadians Are in Session to Decide
 MOmentOus Plans

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 26-(UP)-A board of Americans and Canadians meets for the first time today in Canada's luxurious House of Com mons building to coordinate the two nations defense plans.
 It was believed that the experts would discuss plans for safeguarding the Pacific as we'll as the Atlantic coast of both countries, and that the conference involved, at least indir- ectly. Great Britain's attempts to buy over-age United States destroy CTS for use in the European war zone, and the United States plan to lease sites for air and navy bases in British possessions in the western hemisphere.
 Five representatives from each country composed the board, which was appointed after an agreement between President Roosevelt and Premier w. L. Mackenzie King at Ogdenburg, N. r., 8 week ago.
 The session between representa- tives of Canada, deeply engrossed in the war with Germany, and the United States, which has been at peace 9 years, was believed destin- ed to make American history. AL though Canadians refused to spec ulate on the topics to be discussed, it was pointed out that the board had jurisdiction over Pacific as well as Atlantic defense questions and that means of defending the North Pacific coast might well be on the Agenda.
 The United States delegation, headed by New York's Mayor F. H. LaGuardia, as civilian representa- tive, arrives by train. The other members were: Lieut.. Gen. Stanley D. Embrick, Commander of the Court Corps Army area; Capt. Harry w. Hill, of the Navy War Plans Di- vision; Commander Forrest J. Sher- man. U. s. Navy; Lieut.. Col. Joseph T. McNarney, of the Army Air Corps, and John D. Hickerson, As- sistant Chief of the division of Eur opean affairs in the State Depart ment, serving as secretary.
 Canada's members were: O. M. Biggari; Brigadier K. Stuart, Deputy Chief of the Canadian Army Gen. eral Staff; Capt. L. w. Murray, De- putty Chief of the Naval Staff; Air Commander A. A. L. Cuffe, and Hugh L. Keenleyside, Counselor of the Department of External Affairs.

he registers, he will be deported. whether or not an alien is de- ported depends on how the att torney general decides his case.
 If the alien has broken the law in entering the country, and does not register, the second violation will prejudice his position.
 This information is in a book of 49 questions and answers to be distributed soon.
 Some other questions considered typical, which the booklet answers in the affirmative, are:
 Must refugee children be regis- tered?
 Must an alien register if he has taken out his first citizenship papers?
 Must Philippines, Alaskans, Puerto RicanS, HaWaiianS, register? SOME
 STICKLERS
 When he presents himself at the local postoffice for registration, the alien will be asked IS questions.
 Some of them are sticklerS .. such as What was the name of the vessel you arrived in?"
 But the alien can get sample questionnaire from the postofdce, and study in advance.
 Registration officials estimate there are about 3,50o,O0Q aliens in the United States now, and 1880 census figures show most of them in the middle Atlantic states, New
