 For Repairing Pulnper
Bearings Burned Out of New Fire Engine; Board to
 Consider Requests for Retirement

The fire commissioners were inc formed that an inspection of the damage showed that the bearings in the bumper were burned out, and a leak had developed into the breather pipe before 100 gallons of water was pumped at the fire which the apparatus responded.
 Neither the factory expert or any- one else could account why the oil had escaped into the breather pipe, and Captain George P. Holmes of the fire bureau of auto repairs, told Chairman Phelan that no negli- gence was caused by the fire depart ment.
 Mr Phelan promised that the other piece of fire apparatus order cd from the same company at Buf. falo Is expected within . few days. This new equipment has been on ore der since May and officials at the company said the delay was attri. buted to priority privileges extend. ed on motor accessories.
 A petition was submitted by Pri- vate Patrick J. Donahue to the commissioners for retirement under the pension act, because of an acci- dent on September 3, 1888 at the Bunker Hill station in which he suffered Q broken leg. Fireman Don. ahue, member of the fire force since 1913, will undergo an exarn- nation by three physicians for his eligibility to receive pension.

NEW CHAPEL FOR
 OLDEST SEMINARY
Marry Priests of Hartford Diocese Interested in
 Building Plans

Many priests of the Hartford diocese, including Waterbury born, as well as those stationed In local parishes now, are included among the 2s00 alumni of St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, interested in or planning to attend the several ceremonies attendant on construc- ton of a new Chapel at the sem- mary, as well as observance of the sesquicentennial of its founding.
 Work was started on the chapel recently, with the first spade of earth being turned by the Very Rev. John F. Fenlon, s. S., presi- dent of the seminary. Other Inem- bers of the faculty were present.
 The cornerstone of the chapel will be laid on Nov. il, when the foundation will have been com- pleted to the chapel floor leyel5 Most Rev. Michael J. Curley, Arch bishop of Baltimore and Washing ton, will officiate in the presence of most of the members of the American Hierarchy and the Apos- tolic Delegate, Most Rev. Amlete Giovanni CieogEani.
 The sesquicentennial celebration will last three days, starting on Nov. 10 with a pontifical high Mass by Archbishop Curley. Most Rev. John M. McNanaara, Auxil- iary Bishop of Baltimore and Wash- ington, will preach the sermon. On Tuesday there will be pontifical high Mass in the Baltimore Cathe- dral with Archbishop Curley off, ciating and Most Rev. John J. Nifty, Archbishop of San Francis co, preaching the sermon.
 Following this there will be 8 dinner at the seminary and the cornerstone ceremony will be held after that.
 On Wednesday the 18th, Most Rev. Peter L. Ireton, Coadjutor Bishop of Richmond, Va, will pom tificate at the old St. Mary's Sem- mary on North Paca street.
 St. Mary's in addition to being the oldest seminary for education of men aspiring to the priesthood is the largest in the United States.

It was in this very meadow (where soon Swiss dignitaries will light 'The Fire of the Swiss Con- federation') that, on August 1, 1291, the tiny mountain states of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden formed to establish a system of local self-gov- ernment in opposition to rule by the Hapsburgs.
 Never in the six and a half centuries which have followed--the last one 8 century of continuous peace--has Switzerland's indepen- dence been as seriously threatened as 1t is today. She Is hemmed in on four sides by Germany, Italy and Occupied France. Her 4,000, 900 citi- zens are almost entirely dependent on the dictator countries for vital raw material (wool, cotton, coal, oil, metals) and food imports. <
 The result is hardship and want. Americans of Swiss descent report that for the first time in their lives they are sending money and food to relatives abroad. Swiss rationing is strict. Bread, for example, may not be sold for 48 hours after baking (to spike fresh h-bread appetites). House. wives must, by law, save all kitchen waste.

This situation irked men like De Witt Clinton, and in 1877 New York State started digging the Erie Canal to make an all-Ameri- can waterway. Its completion in 1925. Northrup orated, made the British lion writhe. Tn retaliation, England started the WeIland Ca- nal in 1924 to by-pass Niagara, finished 1t in 1883, and opened the Canadian series of St. Lawrence canals in 18z8, completing an ale British route to the Atlantic.
 Now, once again, HEorthrup warned, the United States Is about to fall for another British con- spiracy to enlarge this waterway by removing the last obstacle to deep-draught navigation in the upper St. Lawrence.
 NOTE: Northrup had no expIa- nation for the fact that other op- position witnesses. taking an exact opposite tact, told the cognmlttee tn at President Roosevelt had "blackmailed" war-burdened Cayi- ada into agreeing to the project. However, Northrup did privately agree that If the U. 6. took over Canada he would favor the e. Lawrence sesway.

CARRIER PIGEON
 COMMUNICATION
Army Signal Corps Be- lieves It Has Perfected
 2-Way Pigeon Routes

Fort Monmouth, N. J., July 25-- (UP)-The Army Signal Corps dis closed today that 1t had perfected a means of communication no blitz- krieg could jam or disrupt-the two- way carrier pigeon.
 For centuries the Pigeon Com Tnunication division of the Signal corps said,. military commanders from Alexander the Great to the present have dreamed of a pigeon that would not only carry message but bring back an answer.
 After 6l days of scientific ex- pertinent between secret loft here and a "war front 12 miles away, the signal corps feels that 1t has suc- ceeded where Alexander failed. Fly ing at 60 miles an hour the signal corps pigeons carried messages to the front and brought back replies.
 Radio is all right the signal corps admitted, but 1t can be damned and the enemy can listen in, whereas "our pigeons are silent and 96 per cent of them will get through"
