LIQUOR SALES
 BOOM NOT FELT.
Waterbury Dealers Notice No Great Increase; Park
 City Way Up

The boom in liquor sales, which according to the United Press, in- creased sales in Bridgeport by 300 per cent is not evident in Water bury, according to a survey conduc- ted today.
 The United Press reported that factory workers, who earning wages reminiscent of World War boom days, have developed such a taste for champagne that sales in cham pagne alone increased by 300 per cent. Bridgeport liquor dealers said that the increase of domestic and imported champagnes during the past months was due almost en- tirely to purchases by laborers.
 In Waterbury, however, dealers noticed no great increase. "They haven't the time to drink it." one dealer said, intimating that short age of time has caused a boom in the automobile trade.
 One laborer in Bridgeport told a liquor dealer, however, that my girl friend has high class tastes and she wants champagne just like what they have in the movies" He then bought three bottles of champagne.

Branson DecOu Speaks on Guatemala; Musical Eea-
 lures Presented

The Forum at the Second Con- gregational church last night con- sisted of presentation of motion pictures and lecture by Branson De- Cou, California lecturer and travel Ter His subject material and accom- panying. pictures descriptive of his talk was the small Central American republic of Guatemala. In his talk and pictures MT. DeCou showed the little country as a connecting link between North and South America.
 The scenes depicted were colorful, and sharply outlined Guatemala, the life and customs. The natural colors were highly effective whether he was showing mountain scenery, valleys, or the native flowers and vegetable life. The life as shown among the natives was simple, that of their Spanish and Indian an- cestors.
 Costumes of the people figured to a great extent in the pictures, the lovely colors pleasing the eye with their contrasts and blendings. Mo- where could a clearer idea of those could be found unless one personally travelled the route or got it in smaller scope in the National Geo. graphic magazine. MT. DeCou proved himself an entertaining nar- rator of customs, life and events in the small republic. Listeners were entertained and educated, and the informal manner of the speaer was agreeable to all attending.
 Mir. DeCou was the guest during his last trip to that country of Padre Rossbach, a Guatemalan priest, who is an important figure in that country, he said, because of his work among the native people. The padres home was shown. Dr Leroy Benham introduced the speaker. The Second Congregational Church Symphony played selections previous to the lecture, directed by George Gentle.

The postmaster indicated after Decem- Der IA most of the staff will not be in the aliens office due to the Christmas rush when they will have to handle mail.

 4 $1,O0O fine an dsix months in jail or both will be imposed for aliens registering after December 26. No action can be taken prior to that time to force aliens to reg ister, but MT. Babin expects none will be skipped here through ig- norance or deliberate failure to reg ister.
 Many aliens who have obtained their first citizenship papers, but who have not yet obtained their final papers, were discussed by MT. Bahin as the few who may fail to register through ignorance. Direc- tor of the Federal Immigration Bu- reau at Hartford L. L. MartineIu said there are almost 2,500 persons in that category in this district.

this detrimental runaway marriage,
for she did not want any hidden
skeletons in her life. Far better
tell the truth now and be done
with it.
To Betty she said, IT used to be

Married to him?" Betty repeated
in amazement. She had noticed
Miss Eliot's stiff coldness, but this
confession was a bombShell.
Lamprey flushed resentfully. He
had wanted to talk this over with
Anne and reach a settlement. The
blunt announcement did not please
him.
That's not ALL" he snapped.
"You still are"
mo-" Anne denied. Except In
name. I want never to see you
again"
You'll see me plenty" he jeered.
I'm your husband. The law says
So And you're my wife. You
wore to be mine till death parted
us. Talk that away If you can"
Scorn burned in her eyes. THAT
promise was made for a man who
never lived, for a dream man I
thought decent and true. You are
not that man. You never could
have been. If you had a iota of
self-respect you wouldn't remind
me Of that. I'm the woman you
married and left at home and
deserted"
The weak mouth of Lamprey set
obstinately. Il was going to tell
you about that, but wouldn't listen.
A fellow has his pride. He can't
ask a woman to leave her home to
come West and share nothing"

What about a girls pride, after
she has compromised herself by q
secret marriage?" Anne asked.

It did write at first" he said
sulkily.
Three letters, at wide intervals,
and then no more"
II can't write letters. I never
could. But now you are here"
I'VE might as well settle this
before witnesses" Anne told him,
her slender body straight and her
head erect. IF were a thousand
miles away, I couldn't be any
father from you. There Is no tie
between us. None at all. There
never will be. Please get that very
clear. This is the last time shall
talk with you"
"Oh, don't know about that"
he replied, with jaunty insolense.
Il hold to my rights. The law
says"
Rufus cut in, dragging his words.
1T Miss Eliot says she doesn't
know you any more, why-that
settles it," he murmured.
Not by jugful. I'm her legal
husband and she can't get away
from it. even if she has got a devil
of q temper"
II wouldn't talk so brash," Jelks
advised, still in a deceivingly low
gentle voice. This country doesn't
like to hear a man talk that away
to a woman. Some doggoned fool

you deceased husband"
