third period parade that carried
them 7 yards for a touchdown the
University of Connecticut football
team marched to hard-earned VIC
tory over its traditional foe, Wes-
leyan of Middletown. The score
was 60. A crowd of 1000 were on
hand to witness the struggle that
was played on this extra warm sum-
mer afternoon. About five hundred
Dads were in attendance in cele-

Of the current campaign the u
COINS showed plenty of speed, de-
ception and versatility that should
stand them in good stead in their
quest Of the mythical championship
of New England.
After a scoreless first half the
lads from Storrs came back with a
rush in the third period. Starting
on their own % yard line the
Huskies mixed their running at
tack with a few WELT timed aerials
that finally ended with the score
when Fred Mitchell ducked through
left tackle for a touchdown. Eddie
Waits try for the extra point was
wide of its mark.
Dangerous
Wesleyan, however, refused o give
up and was constantly threatening
the Uconns goal line with very
deceptive aerial attack that saw
Capadaqua and Hussong giving a
thrilling exhibition Of accuracy and
control. However, it fell to Walt
man to put the damper on the hopes
of the Cardinals when he inter-
cepted one of Hussong's passes on
the 10 yard line in the losing Sec

 This activity appeared to be spreading rapidly to other lines of business as the second half of the year began Retail trade seemed to be catching up with the rush in factories, after a spring lag.
 Most observers felt that still fur ther improvement lay ahead, though not minimizing the disruption of many normal channels of trade as result of the war. The rearma- ment race here vas expected, for the time being. to take up most of the slack caused by the loss of GUS tomary foreign markets.
 The Bureau of Agricultural Economics in Washington said:
 If the European war continues active, it seems fairly certain that industrial activity during the last half of 1940 will be higher than during the first half.
 The trend of share prices appeared to lend weight to this point of view
 Measured by The Associated Press average, the market reached it's low est in two years, at 370. on June 10, when it had become fairly ob- vious that the French defense was collapsing.

TORONTO MAY
 BE CAPITAL OF BRITISH EMPIRE
fBy Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON. July 5-Of all the possible contingencies that your government and mine is con sidering as a result of this war. none is more strange than that Can ada may become the seat of the British Empire
 No matter how remote you may consider it, the State Department has been investigating il as a pos sibility for weeks-simply that no surprise may crop up in the coming months for which we will not be prepared.
 What's more. in the foggy realm of possibilities. this isn't considered so terribly remote The question iss of course. can Germany deal a blitz- krieg to the British Isles similar to those with which she has swept aside a half a dozen smaller nations and crushed France as though that supposedly great military power were no more than a papier maehe Graustark? And if the Nazis can will England carry on?
 Winston Churchill has said that England will There are other straws in the wind Queen Wilhel- nina of Holland and her family have been sent 10 Canada More than 10000 children, refugees from the danger zone of the British Isles are being sent to Canada.
 ftFY already is considered certainty that IF the capital of the British empire is established in the New World. it will be al Toronto lOtta- Wa is the capital of the Dominion, in case you have forgotten) Toronto is a hedge-hop from Buffalo, N. Y- an easy sail to the northern shore of Lake Onttaro.
 It's Tough Going
 Now, off the record, here are a few of the things that your State Department is discovering:
 1. Canada cannot support very large population. Its present H. 000,000 or so is strung out in a narrow band along the northern border of the United States. curving slightly upward at the ends. Since 19O0 it has had immigrants mum bering something like 6,500,0oO- but so many of these and of those already there have found the going hard, that 5,000,000 Canadians have sought a fuller life in the United States, during the same per- iod
 }. Canadian industry exists only because of a high tariff wall. CThis isn't true of all industries, but it applies to most of those which are competitive with industries of other nations
 3. Canada is heavily dependent on American capital There is, it is reported, some four billion dollars of American money invested in Can. ada, almost twice as much as is in.

NOVEL BRIDGE PARTY ENJOYED BY GUESTS
 AT BTDWELI HOME

Mrs. George Bidwell entertained last Tuesday evening with a novel bridge party in which every player took home a prize. Five tables were in play. Prizes, consisting of every thing from hand-embroidered pill low cases to rolls of paper towels were wrapped before the party by Mrs. Bidwell into mysterious shapes and sizes and each player was al- lowed to choose the package that looked most intriguing to her, table number one having first choice. As the game progressed. the two win ners at each table took their choice of two of the four packages at their table to take them with them. Much enjoyment was had during the even ing by guests "eoveting. other guests packages that seemed to look more appealing than their own or by a loser having to give up to a winner a package she was trying to keep.
 Guests invited included Mrs AL len Sampson of Philadelphia. Miss Alice Niekelson. Of Quincy. Massa= ehusetts. Mrs. E. Lawry Mrs. D M. Campbell. Mrs Leonard Campbell. Mrs. E. Sharnbroich Mrs. E. j.

 4 Canadian fortunes and the very livelihood Of the population depend upon world trade - particularly trade with the United States and the British Isles which take about S0 percent of Canada's exports. Gi trade with the latter were sus- pended because there no longer were any British Isles. Canada would lose almost half it's export market)
 5. The Canadian public debt al ready Is in the vicinity of $700 per capita teompared with approximate ly s45O per capita in this country even when you take state and muni- efpal debts into consideration
 6. Canada s average annual wheat surplus is 26O.000.000 bushels What could be done with it2
 ITS Anybody's Guess
 These aren't half the problems regarding Canada that the State De. partment. behind the scenes. is con sidering, but they serve to make the point that it's no matter of sim. pie grade-sehool arithmetic
 If King George VI takes up res. idence on the uptown beach of Lake Ontario, it will be the first time lwith few trivial exeeptionsl thai any monarch has ruled from the western bemfSphprp but that ism what's bothering the State Depart ment.
 What's worrying them now. SC that it might not worry you in the face of any contingency is what can the United States do if it should come to pass.
 Your guess and mine is as goot as theirs al the moment.

way to finance a Home of your

some cases. You have only one
mortgage generous one, with a

repaid in convenient monthly in
stallations to suit your income.
After adding the taxes, insurance,

Houses And Living
Quarters Needed

B. E. Squires, Secretary of the
Seattle Urban League, who has
been cooperating with the Seat
tie Housing Authority in it's pro-
cesses of developing the project
on Yesler Hill, recently was called
on by Mrs. Irene Miller for as
sistance in the relocation phase
of the program.
Mrs. Miller stated that as fast
as the authority obtained title to
land in the projects site, she at
tempts to assist the occupants of
the houses to find new adequate
quarters and places of residence.
Many of the people are able to find
suitable places without assistance
but others need the help of Mrs.
Miller's office to be able to find a
place to which to move.
The majority of the people be-
ing moved are persons who are
painfully employed and are cap
able of regularly meeting their
rent obligations. It is true that
they cannot afford to pay high
rents but they can pay lower rents
regularly.
The majority of families are of
three persons and many of them
are single persons who would ac-
cept rooming facilities. One parti-
cular case is that of a young wo-
man who now owns her own fur
niture and who, because of illness
has been a client of the County
Welfare Department. This depart
ment guarantees $1,000 per month
for her rent including light and
heat. Having her own furniture
she is DESTROYS of finding a loca-
ton which will afford her two
rooms wherein she can continue
her home life in a normal way

It is the largest independent gro

pay the chain stores two or three
