CongreSsman-e elect Joseph f. Tai

He will analyze the reasons behind
his victory, the first for a Repubh-
can in the district since 1882.
The special election increased the
prestige of ex-Gov. Raymond E.
Baldwin, who stumped throughout
the district for Mr. Talbot. This
was in contrast to the obvious lack
of support given Mr.. Talbot from
state headquarters, financially and
otherwise.
Congressman Talbot plans to
leave for Washington Wednesday
He will be presented in the House
by Minority Leader Joseph w. Mar
tin on Thursday, and will be sworn
in the same day. His resignation as

RUSH ON FOR
MOTOR STAMPS
Today Last One to Get
Federal Stamps at
Post Office

Post office clerks reported a steady
demand for automobile use tax
stamps today, on the last day on
which car owners may purchase the
federal stickers without penalty. The
rush, however, was no greater than
that of yesterday, during which be-
tween $500 and 5000 stamps were
sold, to bring the total to date 10
about $4,000.
Adding to the wear and tear on
harrasSed clerks at the stamp win
doWs is the fast that almost all the
late purchasers are buying their
stickers singly, while during the
early days on which stamps were IN
sale, many persnos bought several
stamps for relatives or friends, thus
considerably reducing the number
OF transactions required.
While no exact figures on the
number of car owners in the city are
available, there are probably more
than 5000 persons who will have to
visit hte post office before six o.
clock tonight, or else not use their
cars for while.
AS has been the case on past Sat-
urdays, extra clerks will be on duty
throughout the day for the conven-
fence of purchasers, and as many as
seven stamps windows will be
opened If the demand warrants it,
according to Postmaster Charles A.
Babin.

ARMY MUSTERS
1872 IN MONTH
Marines Enlist ia in
Same Period; Corrigan,
GiammancO Soldiers

As Waterbury's recruiters today
began the task Of totalling up fig
ures on January applications and
eniistments. the stats OF the local
army and marine stations supple
mented yesterdays record breaking
report by naval recruiters in the
city.
While complete statistics on the
months inductions were not yet
available, the army reported that
it had enlisted 1872 men from Wa
terbury and the immediate vicinity
since Jan. /, and the marines an
nounced that at least ia of their
hundreds Of applicants from all of
western Connecticut had been mus
tered into service.
The latetr figure may be in
creased when further reports from
the induction center at Springfie
are received here, Sergt. Maxwell
p. Dickerson said today, as sew
eral men have been sent from here
for final examination at headquar-
tiers, and presumably most of them
will have been indicted before the
end of the month.
The report of the local naval
recruiting station, made public yes
terday, revealed similar record fig
ures for the month, which sur
passed all previous records for all
three branches of the service. More
detailed reports will be published
when available, in the course OF
the next week.
Accepted by the army yesterday
were Angelo Giammanco and James
Corrigan of this city; ten more
mne were sent to Hartford for en-
listment this morning.

New Fnemen Maybe
Named Wednesday

At an adjourned meeting of the
fire board held yesterday, Chair
man Finton J. Phelan said that
the six vacancies in the fire de-
partment may be filled at the next
regular meeting to be held We'd
nesday, asserting that the ap-
pointments may possibly be made
before then, although he said that
was unlikely as it would require
special meeting of the board.
A policy may be adopted by
board members after they consult
with Mayor Vincent A. Scully on
the plan of naming only able
bodied men between the ages of
FL to 40, listed in deferred classes
because Of dependency. Yester-
day the mayor was occupied with
defense matters and the police
commissioners we're unable to see
him. Mr.. Phelan said he expected
to see the mayor today and make
plans for selecting the new ap-
pointees. Mayor Scully serves as
an officio chairman of the fire
board.

John Lippke
Mechanically-Inclined
All His Life-Al-
ways Had Kindly
Interest in City
of Birth,
Meriden.
BY THE OUT EASTER

Lots of times people die, and
The public neither learns nor
knows much about them.
1t was SO in the case of John
H. Lippke Of q High Street who
died early in January or to be
exact, the 10th of the month. We
really didn't know SO much about
the man, but we met him at
times during the course of his
life, and were much pleased that
we did by reason Of his converse
ton, his manner of expression,
and his ability to explain the in
tricacies of machinery. He was a
born mechanic, as we grasped
from the way in which he
was able to explain in detail
everything in connection with his
various activities as tool-makcr
and mechanic. He had a keen
mind, thoughtful mind, which
figured out things, and made it
possible for him to design and in
vent certain articles for public
consideration. For instance, he
was crediteS with being the in
ventor Of so-called baby bunting
pin, which was placed on the
market, and which commanded a
ready sale throughout the world.
Mr.. Lippke was born in Meri-
den, but came to Waterbury
many years ago, and was for a
number of years employed by the
Waterbury Button company and
also the American Pin Company.
Among the employees of these
plants he was well-knoWn, and
also by many others who followed
spores, especially boxing exhibi-
tons, and baseball. He had a most
friendly feeling for the city of
his birth, and for the people of
the Silver city, just over the
mountain. 1t was this admiration
for the old home town that made
him such a great admirer Of the
well-known Kid Kaplan, widely
known fighter, also of Meriden.
Every time The Kid fought here
about, Mr.. Lippke was found
somewhere in the vicinity of his
corner, shouting words OF en-
couragement in the hope Of VIC
tory for the boy born in the same
city Of his own birth.
Some eight or ten years ago, he
retired. But this didn't deter him
from mingling and meeting old
friends, for he had various haunts
which he visited and contented
himself In conversation with the
people he met in these places. AS
we have related, he kept abreast
of the times, read the newspaper
daily, and was able to discuss and
debate In practically every ques-
ton raised. He talked quietly,
was not OF the argumentive type,
yet was able to present his subject
in such convincing light, that
most of his listeners in the end
agreed with his point of view.
Waterbury has a large number
of men just like the late Mr..
Lippke, not people OF the snowy
kind, sort of reserved, but who
are men Of extraordinary talent,
who like to keep themselves In
the background as much as Is
possible. These men, like Mr..
Iippke are high grade citizens,
who never question the power OF
recognized authority, and plod
their way through life, in their
