WARNING GIVEN
 AUTO OPERATORS
Leaves on Wet Highway Surfaces Dangerous Haz=
 ard; Caution Urged

Hartford, Oct 18 - A note of caution has been sounded by the State Highway Department, calling attention of motor vehicle drivers to the hazards created by fallen. leaves on wet highway surfaces. At the same time the department pointed out that the burning of leaves or refuse on the highways is forbidden.
 Information from the various maintenance districts of the High way Department that the autumn fall of leaves is near it's peak, prompted the warning to drivers. It was recalled that leaves on wet pavement created driving dangers similar to those caused by snow and ice.
 Aside from the statutory provi- sions forbidding fires on the high ways, highway officials point out several hazardous conditions cre- ated by fires in the immediate vi- cinity of the roads. HaZy weather in autumn reduces visibility while the addition of smoke clouds raises the danger to the critical point.
 Fires on the highway itself damages all types of road surface to degree, but severe damage is caused to bituminous or asphaltic pavements where the heat of fire melts the binding material that holds the pavement together. Bitu- minous material-asphalt, tar or so- called road oil-is found in some part of almost all state highways either in the travelled way or on the shoulders.

ing with the classic triad of head ache, insomnia, and fatigue" to quote Dr. Harris once more, "the symptoms extend to every part of the body, and initiate those common to every syndrome in medical ex- perience."
 The class procedure includes, after the first formalities of seating and roll-taking have been completed, in- struction and practice in the art of muscular relaxation, the reading of a brief written report from each member who is present, an informal but thoughtful and practical and thoroughly scientific talk on Symp- toms that have neurotic basis with instructions upon how to deal with them, plentiful illustration from case histories, and finally brief ver- bal testimonies from class members who have received help and whose story of improvement gives encour- agement to the new members of the group.
 Dr. Pratt regularly conducts the morning class, Dr. Harris the after noon class, and MT. Rhoades, the writer of the forthcoming series. "YOur Nerves, the evening class.
 Although a layman, MT. Rhoades has had extensive experience both with doctors and with patients. More than twenty years of severe personal sickness gave contacts with many doctors and hospitals and gave first-hand knowledge not only Of the physical sufferings of the sick, but, more importantly, vital un- derstanding of their fears, their doubts, their discouragements, their practical problems, their mental pains, their questionings, their struggles, their baffling setbacks, and, finally, their power of learning how to stand up to life no matter how hard it is.
 To this practical experience has been added intensive study of psy- chotherapeutic methods extending over many years, experiences as a worker with patients at the Cliff ton Springs Sanitarium in New York and finally connection, from its early years, with the Thought Con- trol Work at the Boston Dispensary. MT. Rhodes books, "The Self You Have to Live With" and Meeting the Challenge of Life" set forth the ideas that are taught at the Thought Control classes and also used in the personal work with in- dividuals.

hour One herd numbered 67 deer before he drove them away.
 Coryell has developed his own system to frighten the dere. First he aims at their feet with his .22 caliher revolver. If that doesn't work, he uses a small caliber shotgun loaded with birdShot. The shot does not penetrate the hide, merely stinging them enough to start the herd running.
 Coryell's job was created when a law was enacted providing a gardener can sue the state if his property is damaged by pro- tected animal. So far, no gar- dener near Sanon City has sued.
 Coryell drives an average of 100 miles each night, examining each garden hourly. His deer patrol" mileage in the last eight years approximates 130,000 miles.
 The prettiest sight he has ever seen Coryell said, was when his spotlight swung down line of 2S deer standing shoulder-to-shoul- der along the bank of a stream. They fled when he fired his re- volyer at them.
 Deer are not the only animals Coryell has seen on his patrols. Twice he has seen mountain lions and smaller game is often dis covered.
 Coryell said the deer come to Canon City district for protection during the hunting season.

For the lack of 8 better title, the State Games and Fish Depart ment has listed Coryell as a deer herder." There are other deer herders in the state but their duties are to feed and protect the herds in the winter. Coryell pro- tects the city's vegetables from the deer.
 How many thousand deer he has driven out of Canon City gar- dens in the last eight years Coryell doesn't know. Once he saw more than 100 dear in one

rendered impossible by action of the
Norwegian and Swedish govern
ments," Mr.. Chamberlain replied:
1T is obvious that 1 can give no
such guarantee as asked for in the
first part of the question. AS re-
CARDS the second part, request for
this help was not made oy the
Finnish government"
Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax
made a statement similar to Mr..
Chamberlain's in the House of
Lords.
New Triumph for Wrong.
Lord Smell, Labor leader of the
upper house, answering Lord Hall
fax, expressed satisfaction that the
physical agony of this miraculous
little people has now ended, but with
feeling Of regret that the spiritual
injuries they have received will en-
dure; that right has once more been
defeated and wrong once more tri-
umphed in the world"
AS to actual assistance given Fin
land, Lord Halifax said in the upper
house that "for my own part I should
not be afraid of the judgment of our
fellow countrymen if they had before
them the full facts in regard to ou1
contribution to Finland in her strug-
gle"
Lord Balfour proposed a private
session Of Lords to discuss the Fin
nish question, but the foreign secre-
tary replied that in no circumstances
| would information that might be
| available at any session, public or
private, lead to different conclu-
sion from that outlined in his state
ment.

ROME, March 13.-Italy and Ger
many today signed an agreement
whereby the Reich agrees to supply
Italy's coal needs by rail in view Of
the allied sea blockade against ship
ments by sea.
Details of the agreement were
withheld, but it was announced that
negotiations for it were started by
German Foreign Minister Joachim
Won Ribbenthrop and Premier Mus
solini over the week end.
1t was reported in political circles
that German coal would be routed
through three or more Alpine passes.
Germany is expected in some COM
mercial quarters to supply cars for
the coal from the Ruhr and West
phalia, while Italy would use most
of it's 5000 cars for transport Of coal
from Poland.
The agreement was signed for
Germany by DR.. Karl Clodius, eco

House Unit Asks S350,000
To Repair Capitol Roof

The Appropriations Committee
today sent to the House an item
of $350000 for rebuilding the roof
on what is known as the terrace Sec
ton of the Capitol This is to cor
rect permanently a condition that
has been growing worse for many
years.
This terrace section extends COM
pletely around the north. south and
west fronts of the Capitol, the roof
forming the plaza and sidewalk
with rooms beneath which are used
for offices, shops and storage of
documents. This has an area of
about two acres. Temporary ex-
pedients to prevent leakage have
been made for Is years at consid-
cradle expense.
The recommendation to the House
today proposes to remove the con-
crete paving, install waterproof
material and a new roof of 3-inch
marble block pavement. This will
result in elimination of about 10
skylights without interfering with
proper lighting of the space be-
meath.
The appropriation also provides
for Strengthening and repairing the
balustrades. The plans also may
be adapted so that Congress car
later provide additional office space
without substantial expense.

Peace Brings Hopeful
Reaction in Balkans

BUDAPEST, March 13 (P).-Neutral
Southeastern Europe appeared to re-
act hopefully today to the Russian
Finnish peace.
Authoritative quarters in Hungary
bordering both the Soviet Union and
Germany, asserted that the price
exacted of the Firms was relatively
cheap for ending hopeless war"
| and expressed belief that German
influence had been predominant in
preventing intervention through the
northern countries by the British
and French.
Rumanian officials were confident
that Germany was dissuading Rus
sia from any attempt to regain Bes-
sarabia, at least while Germany
wants Rumanian oil and grain to
withstand the allied blockade. Bes-
sarabia went to Rumania in the
post World War settlements.
The southeastern neutral countries
appeared generally agreed that Ger
many was trying to keep this area
peaceful and productive, but that
war would have extended quickly to
Southeastern Europe if the allies
had fought Russia in Finland.
News of the Finnish peace was re-
ceived happily in Bulgaria, where
there is strong pro-Russian feeling.

LONDON, March 13.-Great Brit
ain and France, weighing the effects
of a Russian Finnish peace, pre-
pared themselves for intensiflcation
of their own war and for a possible
combined Nazi Soviet diplomatic
offensive against allied interests in
the Balkans.
Moscow's announcement of a
treaty with Finland, ostensibly free
ing Russia's resources to support the
war machine Of her economic ally,
may mean a Nazi offensive in the
west.
London and Paris received re-
ports from Bucharest that Germany
and Russia were planning to offer
Rumania territorial guarantees in ex-
change for trade concessions. Brit
| ish and French officials declined to
comment, pending action of the
Finnish Parliament on the reported
| peace treaty. but the settlement,
coming on the heels of the allies
purported willingness to intervene
in Finland, had its effect in both
capitals.
Blame Put on Scandinavia.
| Some observers tried to portray
Scandinavia as "the villain of the
| piece" through refusal to allow allied
reinforcements to cross their terri
tories into Finland. This refusal
weakened the allied promise of aid,
1t was contended.
| "The obdurate refusal of the Scan
dinavian countries to allow the pas
says of military aid was decisive -
said the London Daily Herald.
The authoritative British Press
Association, however, quoted most
English papers as agreeing that the
offer to aid Finland was made too
late.

stice would kill any allied plans oi

navia against Germany's flank or

LONDON, March 13.-Following Is
the text OF todays debate In the
House of Commons on the Russian
Finnish peace treaty:
Prime Minister Chamberlain:
His najesty's Minister in Hei-
singfors (Helsinki) was informed
this morning by the Finnish minis
ter of foreign affairs that Soviet
Finnish peace terms were signed In
Moscow last night and that an
armistice had been signed at II
o'clock today, Finnish time, between
the two armies.
Throughout the Soviet Finnish
struggle his majesty's government
In concert with the French gov
ernment, have furnished to the
Firms large quantities Of war ma
terial and supplies of all sorts
particulars of which have been
made known so far as 1t was In
public interest to do so.
Finns' Decision Only.
His majesty's government have In
fact made plain their readiness to
give all possible help to the Firms
in their gallant struggle against
aggression. And, as I informed the
House on Monday, we had made
preparations to throw the full weight
of all our available resources into
the scales on hearing that this
would be in accordance with the
desires of the Finnish government
1t had always been understood
that it was for the Finnish govern
ment to decide upon the course OF
action which they considered best
suited to their interests in the light
of all available knowledge.
In their decision they may be
assured that the people fthis
country are united in sympathy with
the situation in which they have
maintained for so long struggle
against overwhelming odds (cheers)
This epic story will ever be re.
counted in the chronicles of theil
own country and will remain alive IL
the memory Of all peoples (cheers)

appeals have been made by that
country for assistance not only in
material but in men, and Is it not
pity In relation to the magnitude
Of these events and OF their far
reaching character to plead as an
excuse for inaction p'!re techni-
cality?
viii the prime minister say when
an opportunity will be afforded the
House to discuss. in light of these
events, the whole conduct of the
war?
Mr.. Chamberlain replying:
1t Is not correct that repeated re-
quests for men have been made by
the Finnish government. The Fin
nish government have made re-
peated requests for material and
every one of those requests has been
answered. They have been informed
as long ago as the twenty fifth of
February that If they were to make
an appeal to us we had been pre-
pared and were making arrange
ments to send out men as. well as
materials.
In the circumstances in which
they found themselves they decided
not to make such an appeal.
French Statement Discussed.
Mr.. Hore-Belisha:
Can the Prime Minister confirm
a statement in the French Chamber
by Premier) Daladier yesterday
that an expeditionary force consist
ing of $4,000 French soldiers and
still more British troops actually
were ready, and whether this force
was promised to the Firms for their
assistance or were any restrictions
placed on its use in defense of Finn
ish NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which had
the effect of causing the Firms to
believe that it was inadequate to
repel Russian aggression? May !
also ask if the House will have op-
portunity of debating the question?
Mr.. Chamberlain.
I have had no official request for
debate. I have no doubt I should
have to consider it when it was
made. With regard to the state.
ment to which Mr.. Hore- -Belisha re.
ferred, I have endeavored to OBJ.
tain an accurate account of wha'
was said by M. Daladier, but I have
not received it. Until 1 do I woulc
prefer not to comment on it.
