JAMES A. FARLEY
 VERY CONFIDENT
Believes Democratic Party Again Will Win Because
 of Record

Providence, R. l., April 15-CUP) -Postmaster General James A. Far ley believes the Democrats will win the national election on the party's record of constructive achievement.
 He told a Democratic State Con- mittee Jefferson Day meeting last night that the Republican party faces certain defeat because it had no qualified presidential candidate. In broadcast address he said it lis still true that you can't beat somebody with nobody"
 Farley did not mention his own candidacy for the Democratic pres idential nomination, but praised the administratio of President Roose- welt for it's social, economic, navy building and neutrality legislation. He believed that the United States hopes for peace and sound public policy lay with the Democratic party.
 He accused the Republicans with using "the old political device of facing both ways on questions of liberalism"
 He charged that the appointment of Ernest T. Weir, steel industrial iSt, as Republican National Finance Chairman was an effort by the Old Guard" to control the Philadelphia convention and to dictate the party nominees"

Fish Stories,
 But No Fish! | On Opening Day

The trout season got of to a disastrous start on Saturday and conditions weren't much better yesterday or today. The trout fishermen who go tup at dawn Saturday morning donned their boots to be off to meet the wizards of the fish kingdom were greet ed by miniature blizzard and those who dared to face it had to bring along their snowshoes as well as their boots.
 When they finally reached their favorite spots the brooks were running faster than the Twen- tieth Century limited and were as swollen as the fat man in the circus. What trout were seen were being swept along so fast that they couldn't stop to be caught even if they wanted to.
 Wally Grohs, Woodbury's gift to the realm of weather prophecy, admitted that conditions were bad and that the weather completely fooled him which are two big ad- missions coming from Wally.
 "Why I took along my trout hound and even he couldn't help out" said Wally.
 And what's trout hound?" we asked.
 Why, it's of the pointer breed, explained Wally. When you take him also he runs along the stream and like 8 pointer points at a bird he points at the trout. He always picks out the big ones to point at.
 We'll we gave Wally the bird" on that one and pronounced him the winner and new champion.
 There were more liars in Wa terbury Saturday night and yes- day Wally said than during the last week for income tax returns.
 There were plenty of fish stories but no fish. But better days are coming Wally said as he advised trout fishermen to hold their pa tience as well as their fish stories.

Circus In City For
 Weeks Engagement
WOrId-FamOus Clowns, AcrObats, Frank Bucks Ani- maIs Featured Big Show at State ArmOry

| but this afternoons program was complete in every detail. All the thrills" of the "big top" will be packed into the drill shed during were obtained yesterday to house the the week. Special accommodations flock of elephants and other ami mals with the circus.
 Seats, banners, equipment, tra- pezes and cages were set up yes terday afternoon by an experienced crew and all necessary details perfected. Zimmy, the legless man, engaged rooms at local hotel, as did other performers. Scores of youngsters, young and old, peeked into the big drill shed to watch its transformation into a circus tent and were thrilled when they saw the bears frolicking about during their exercise period. The elephants are parked in Larson's warehouse, since stables near the armory that formerly were used have been razd. In fact, the ad- vance agent had quite Q search before he could find suitable quar- ters for the big pachyderms.
 Monarch Clarence w. Slater stat ed last night that he expects a big crowd at the opening perform ance this evening. Doors will open at 2 o'clock and the zindah Grot- to band will play 8 concert. Maor Vincent A. Scully will formally in- augurate the performance at 6 o'clock. Sc.res of Zindah Grotto members will be on hand to handle the seating arrangements, and guests will be met by the recep- tion committee, headed by Louis A. Wen3el, past monarch and pres ident of the State Grotto associa- tion.
 This afternoon at 3:45 there will be a matinee for Abbott, Ander- son, Barnard, Begnal, Bishop, Dug gan, Maloney, Merriman, St. Ann's and St. Joseph's schools. Tomorrow pupils from the following schools will attend: Webster, Welton, Rus sell, Slocum, Woodrow Wilson Sprague, Tinker, Walsh, St. Thon- as and Sacred Heart schools.

Not so many realize, however, that as our emotions or moods wax and wane they change the temper ature of our hands and feet. This is done by the automatic expan- sion or contraction of the blood ves- sels near the surface of the body. All of the skin, as well as hands and feet, has the temperature changed in this way by our feelings of the moment.
 When the blood vessels expand the hands get warmer. When the ves- Seis contract the hands cool of ,aeasurably.
 But recent work at Cornell uni versity Medical school has shown that the popular belief was dead wrong. Delicate temperature meas urements of the hands showed that anger, anxiety, worry, and extreme displeasure cause temporary shrinkage of the blood vessels and make the hands colder. Cold hands apparently do not signify a warm heart.
 The Cornell researchers found that pleasurable emotions make the hands warmer, and surely love should be a pleasurable thing if

 Church Sunday

"The Origin of the Medal" was the topic of the interesting and we'll delivered sermon of Rev. Donald Knox of New IorK City, member of the Vincentian Order, at the opening last evening of the solemn novena at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes.
 Well over 600 persons heard Father Knox, an audience which the pastor, Rev. Monsignor Joseph Valdambrini, believed to be the larg- est in many years. The entire center aisles were taxed to capacity and the side aisles showed very few seats un- occupied.

Merit System

An amendment to the state con- stitution making the merit system permanent is favored by Senator George T. Culhane. In a recent address before the Italian-Ameri- can Civic club, he expressed the opinion that the people should have an opportunity to vote at 8 referendum on such a constitu- tional provision.
 The merit system has been en- justly criticized, Senator Culhane stated. He expressed the belief that attempts to repeal or weaken the present merit act will be made at next years session of the leg islature.

NEW YORK GIRLS
 TO BE RETURNED
Youthful Pair, Hungry, Treated to Meals By
 Sympathetic Cops

Everything is relative, as Einstein, Confucius, and Montaigne say.
 Evidence of this was seen today in the story of two high school girls, who tired and dazed by the roar of Gotham, picked Waterbury, the Brass Center of the World, as a quiet spot to get away from it all"
 The two girls, both under 16, told their story to police as they waited for their parents who had different ideas about their sudden flight "to the country"
 The girls, picked up hungry in the North End by Detective Lieut.. John Calvin and Patrolman Joseph Cayanaugh, said between sand wiches coffee, and pineapple pie, that they preferred Waterbury.
 The youth advocates of back to the farm movement" will be re- turned to New York this afternoon, it is expected.
