bodies state, congressional, and lo- cal-inE favor of Governor Hurley, Lieutenant Governor Odell Shep- ard, Congressnan-at at-Large Lucien Maciora and the Democratic nomi- nees, it is regarded as certain that the League will also endorse these candidates.
 Others who expect to be present include c. I. O. Regional Director Edward McCrone and William Scott and Harold Conroy of Hartford. Scott, who is president of the A. F. of L. Central Labor union, is run ming for the state Senate on the Democratic ticket; while Conroy, a leader of the Colt CIO union, is running for state representative. Labor unity is seen in the joint committee working for these can- didates.
 The kenote address will be de- liveted by State Representative Nicholas Tomassetti of New Brit ain who recently boiled the highest vote in the Democratic party pri- mary for renomination to the State Legislature.
 The Connecticut branch of labor's Non- Partisan League has long since recorded its opposition to the anti Roosevelt policies of the national chairman of Labor's Non-Partisan League, John l.. Lewis.

LABOR LEAGUE
 MEETS SUNDAY
Governor to Address COn- i ventiOn of NOn-P artisan
 Group at Hartford

With Governor Robert A. Hurley as the principal guest speaker, the convention of Labor's Non Partisan League of Connections will open Sunday at o'clock in the Colonial Room of Bushnell Memorial hall, Hartford, it was announced this week by the state office of the League.
 Great interest is in evidence throughout the state, League of ficials say, on the matter of exten- sion of voting hours. The League, along with the A. F. of L., has sup ported the policy of extending vot- ing hours to enable war workers to vote; and it is expected that the delegates will give support to the idea of special session of the Gen. eral Assembly for the purpose of legalizing extended voting hours.
 The League points out that it appears to be the Republican party which, through Attorney General Pallotti and the town officials of Greenwich, led the fight which re- suited in the unfavorable ruling of Superior Court Judge Cornell.
 c. I. O. affiliates in Bridgeport have also charged that Mayor Mo- Levy failed to even answer two letters requesting his cooperation in getting the voting hours extended.
 Another matter of immediate in- terest which the convention will act upon is the coming vote in the House of Representatives on aboli- tion of the poll tax. Information is that this vote will take place October 12. The League has helped rally public sentiment in the state on this issue, and it is certain that the convention will make a last minute appeal to all Connecticut representatives to vote favorably on the bill, on behalf of which they all signed the House discharge petition bringing the bill out of the Rules committee for vote.
 In view of the stand of all C.I.O.

 The ordinances provide for a fine of $10 and. costs for persons who deposit leaves or other rubbish tn the streets or gutters.
 That section of the ordinances reads as follows:
 ..Depositing Offal. Offensive Ma terial, etc., on Streets - Penalty. No person shall throw, cart or lay any offall, vegetables, garbage, dross, straw, shavings, earth, filth or rubbish of any. kind whatever, in or into any street or in any of the public squares of the said city; or shall suffer any brine or wash or dirty water to flow into any street, or throw, or permit the same to be thrown into or scat tered on any street; or shall throw, cart or lay any ashes, cind- CTS or shells in or upon any street in said city. Any person who shall cast, throw, or deposit on any sidewalk or crosswalk in any street, avenue or public place within the corporate limits of the City of Waterbury, any part or portion of any fruit or vegetable, or other substances, which, when stepped upon by any person, is liable to cause, or does cause him to slip or fall, shall be punished by fine of not more than ten dollars"

BLACKOUT OF
TRAFFIC LIGHTS

"Blackout" of hundreds of thous-
ands of traffic signal lights made un-
nessary by wartime motoring condi-
tions was urged upon cities and states
by the American Automobile Associa-
ton today.
Gwen in normal times, there were
perhaps 300 more traffic lights than
were warranted by conditions" said
Thos. P. Henry of Detroit, Michigan,
President of the national motoring
body.
with large-scale diminution of
traffic because of the tire and gaso
line situations and adoption of group
riding plans, the number of useless
traffic lights will be increased
twofold.
Before the emergency, unwarrant-
ed traffic lights were primarily a
cause of annoyance and means of
retarding the flow of already con-
gested traffic. Today, however, every
stop caused by a red traffic light
means wastage of rubber and gaso-
line. With nationwide gasoline ra-
tioning looming and with tires more
precious than gold, it is criminal fol-
ly to cause unnecessary consumption
of either rubber or gasoline by fail
ure to black out useless traffic lights
standards have been devised
which state the conditions under
which traffic lights should be in
stalled at an intersection when the
total vehicular volume entering the
intersection does not average at least
1000 vehicles per hour for 8hours.
"In behalf of the nations motorists
who are striving desperately to main
tain their wheel equipment for the
duration of the rubber shortage and
to conserve their gasoline, we call
upon all cities and states to re-ex-
anime traffic flow at ight-controlled

But the fine speciality shops can
not do this; so they have to stick
to the old method Of clearance
sales. That is why genuine bargains
in quality goods can be found in
these shops; and why the ladies
get such a kick out of hunting
around in the shops where prices
are usually more than they care to
pay. 1t becomes a great adventure.
And, of course, to go through these
fine shops is a thrill in itself.

love to browse around these fine
speciality shops and usually go back
home with one or more purchases
they have made in them.
There is one thing that can be
said about these shops-they do
have, at times, real marked-down
bargains. This is a custom con-
tinued from the past, when all
stores, great and small, used to
have inventory sales. In the old
days merchants had to stock up in
advance of any season and they
were bound to have goods unsold
which they moved at loss rather
than carry them over to another
season. In some instances, like
wearing apparel, 1t was not feasible
to carry stock over-styles would
change. But an important change
has ocome over merchandising
methods, especially in our large es.

stores. The change became notice.

and 1921 we had a post war de.
preston. It has since come to be
called the Inventory Depression"
So many businessmen in all lines
got caught "long" with high priced
inventories that a change came over
purchasing methods. Manufacturers
found that they would have to be
able to offer deliveries of goods on
short notice if they were to get
merchants to handle their lines. So
our great stores do not stock up
months in advance. There is no
need for clearance sales. Today,
it is often the practice to run manu-
facturer's sales, whether they are
called that or not. A manufacturer

But Chris shook his head. "No

He did tell them, when Jake had
drawn his last breath and relaxed in
to the comfortable arms of death;
told them carefully and gently and
then remained until the first shock
was over. He was deeply shaken him
self, as he found when he was on the

then that he remembered his dinner

It was after ten o'clock.

up the blankets and jugs and carried
them back to the kitchen. Lily Wal

figure, holding to her nose a bottle
of aromatic ammonia.
"Where's Katie?" he demanded
"She might at least have picked up
this stuff"
"She's in bed" Lily said over her
bottle. "She's young, and she
oughtn't to have to see things like

she saw little or nothing. We can't
