state to produce registration certifI- cates. The commissioner asserted that the proposed system is much more flexible than the method now in use and will take care of any increase in registrations over the next few years without any addi- tional capital outlay for equipment.
 By the purchase of machines by the Department of Motor Vehicles he said, it is anticipated that addi- tional savings will be effected in the printing of forms now used by the department. Such forms can be pro- duced, he said, by the new machin- cry.
 Commissioner Mccarthy pointed out that the new system being in- augurated by the Department of Motor Vehicles is now in use in several other states and the de- cision was made only after thor ough investigation by representa- tives of the department of the methods used in several of the Ad- joining states.

A saving, estimated at approxi- nately $S5, 900 a year, is anticipat- ed by a change in the mechanical production of registrations and op- orators licenses in the Department of Motor Vehicles, 1t was announced today by Commissioner John T. Me- Carthy.
 For the past few months, the commissioner stated, an intensive survey has been made of the vari- ous mechanical devices suitable for the work of the Department of Motor Vehicles and as a result thereof the new system will be adopted forthwith.
 While the new system, he stated, will involve an initial capital out lay of approximately $50,000 it is anticipated that this amount will more than pay for the new equip ment over a period of two years.
 At the present time, he stated, the department rents, at a cost of e23,A00 6 year, business machines which are not the property of the

CLASS IN CHILD

Special Training Course 10 Be Given By WOmen's
 Committee

Discussion of a prospective Child Care Training course to be given under the auspices of the Water bury Women's Committee for Home Defense was the principal business at session of the professional ad- visory committe held yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce building.
 The course is to be offered duping November to volunterse who wish to contribute their services to various social agencies dealing with child care and group work with children. The increased number of mothers who have industrial jobs in the city has made the daytime care of chill dren of school and pre-school age a growing problem. At present the established agencies working with children are taxed to capacity, and the need for volunteer help is great,
 Mrs. Mary Dewey, a member of the child care executive committee of the Connecticut Defense Council, reported yesterday on the progress made by that committee in its statewide study of these problems. The formal report and recommenda- tionsof the state committee will be made public in the near future.
 Mrs. Mark L. Sperry, Jr., pres- ident of the local committee, out lined the course to be given in Wa terbury, which will include sessions on child health, behavior problems, group leadership, recreation and simple crafts. The course will be open to both men and women, she stated.
 Miss Agnes Fitzpatrick, chairman of the professional advisory commit tee, presided at the meeting.

 A Chicago suspender firm sent Leon Henderson, Price Adminis- trator, a letter and a package. The letter said they had seen 8 picture of him which revealed that he was in danger of losing his trousers. This, they felt, would be a national disaster.
 The package contained a pair
 of suspenders.
 Shortly afterwards, Henderson took occasion to wear the sus- penders at a ceremony in his home town, Millville, New Jersey, where he dedicated a new airport. He sent a picture of himself, wear ing suspenders, to the Chicago firm, and thanked them for saving his pants.
 MERRY-GO-ROUND
 When the OPM was reorganized and the new super SPAB set up to lay down defense production policies, Washington insiders won- dered how William Knudsen, OPM director general, would take the change. The big, patriotic Dan- ish-born former auto mogul has taken 1t by working harder and more zealously than ever before. When particularly tough problems come before SPAB, of which he is 8 member, Knudsen invariably volunteers to handle them. Eve got broad shoulders" he grins. l" can take q lot of squawling" {. John E.

LINDBERGH'S HOME
 If you will turn to page 1896 of the current (1940-41) issue of WHO'S WHO, you will find a very Illuminating commentary on Charles A. Lindbergh.
 As 6 leading champion of iso- lationism, the the principal tent of the ex-air hero is love of the U. s. A. American First is the symbol and dogma and his poli- tical credo. Tn his recent Fort Wayne, Ind, speech he declared, "I have no motive in mind other than the welfare of my country and my civilization" But on Page 1596 of WHO'S WHO Lindbergh's self penned biography tells a diff ferent story.
 This is what he says: Home. nliece Island, Penvenan, France" Illiece Island is in Nazi-occupied France. Nearby is an island be- longing to pr. Alexis Carrel, with whom Lindbergh collaborated in making their so-called mechani- cal heart. Carrel is now in oc- cupied France and is working in cooperation with the Petain gov- ernment which is playing hand in-glove with the NaZis.
 Lindbergh has not been abroad since he returned in 1889. Why hO still gives the little island in Nazi-co1trOIled France as his nome" cveA at this late date is not explained in the bi0gra- play, in which he carefully lists all his achievements and decora- tions = except the one presented him by Hitler.

that they were not ready to get un-

thing not at all designed to improve
Anelo-American tempers.
When our drivers finally showed up
their leader explained they had TO
so 4 miles out of town to get gas.
Now they couldn't start until they
had breakfast. No, they couldn't
get the gas until after O'Clock.
Why hadn't they eaten before
going for the gas then? on, you
couldn't find any cooked rice so

and that was that.
We never discovered what par
ticular transactions took place IN
Hsiakwan. but the next morning
leaving Chu-hsiung-all the hooks
and crannies of our three station
wagons were pretty we'll stuffed with
big tins of British cigarettes. They
were concealed under seats and dM-
fle bags. but some of them jolted
into sight eventually. That after
noon we stopped at Lufung for our
last luncheon on the Burma road,
but suddenly-and most uncharac-
teristically-our drivers displayed
not the slightest interest in food.
When we came back to our car
the doorway was clogged by a dozen
persons, and Yang, our driver. with
his fist full OF Chinese dollars, was
just concluding some very animated
negotiations. After a while he dashed
away with two more big tins OF
cigarettes under his arm. Since the
roads were juicier than ever, the
Red Gross man manipulated to do
the driving and ease the worrying
for a bit. Yang was more than
willing, and as we rode on he pulled
huge piles of paper currency of a
score of different varieties out OF
his pockets. 1n China each grada-
ton of bank notes has numerous
colors, sizes and designs, and a

reduced to about or 6 cents In
