Kowp Rehéinol' SHOE SALE -\ Thousands of Pairs of Men’s, Ladies’, Boys’, Misses’ and Children’s Shoes, Oxfords and Pumps; Have Been Marked Down Far Below the Manufacturer’s Cost in This Sale, Making Somie of MANY VACATIONISTS GET BOOKS BY MAIL Special Vacatipn Privileges at Library Brings Many Calls With the vacation sedson on in full swing, many people now out of town are taking advantage of tho vacation privileges at the local library and are having books mailed them while away from home. While no attempt hag been made to tabluate the number of books which have been sent out and returned this way, it is stated that quite a few packages have been mailed during the présent summer. With tha special vacation privil- eges, the time limit on books sent out by mail is at the discretion of the li- brarian who sends them. While the privilege includes all kinds of books, it is not expected that 7-day books will be mailed out of town. People who are away from home for the summer, usually are expected to re- turn the booka within three months. It they have books that are in much demand, they may wve requeested by the librarian to return them sooner. In this case, failure to return them, involves tha charging of the usual five cents per week for books kept over the time limit. Most requeest for books to be read m” vacationt are from, people who do not go far away. Usually they are from campers, those who are living in cottages, summer hotels, etc. People motoring long distances do not seem to desire them. School teachers es- pecially, otten send in for books. Very few novels are asked for by vacationists. This seems somewhat surprising, but nevertheless is a fact that out of eight packagees shipped out, only, one novel was included. Books on biography, travel eessays, poetry, League of Nations, Peace con- popular ference, and general discussions on books current topics are most among men vacationists' for: and technical books which interest men only, seldof are senf out of town. The reason for this is explained by the fact that men usually take a hasty week or two away from business and do not have.time to read while-on va- | cation, while many women, eespecial- ly school teachers, go away for the summer. The library is proud of tht record that not a single book has been lost under the special vacation privilege. CITY 1§ CLEARING HOUSE FOR WORKERS| (Continued from First Page.) of them on the verge of- siarvation a few weeks ago, that every Spaniard who wanted work has been able to obtain it. Of the approximate 700 Spaniards |residing in the city, nearly 400 have been hired to work in the fields and there is not a Span- jard in New Britain today out of a job, in his opinion. 5 There does not seem to be so much danger of the city being flooded with Spanish residents when the tobacco crop is harvested as it is said many of the men now being employed in the fields have beén offered work all| the year around. In answer to an appeal for more help in the fields, the local Spanish priest, who came here from Bridge-, port to give what help he could to his people at the time it was said so many of them were going hungry. has gone to East Windsor today to arrange for wore help. It is said 100 more men have been asked for. The reason Spaniards are pre- ferred in this work, according to the statement of the speaker is because they are experienced hands, having all had more or less experience in their own counry, and that this is the kind of work which appeals to them. The statement that there Spaniard in the city out of questioned by some who are with the situation. It is there must be a few who have not is not a work, is in touch thought found work, or else the first flguresl' were grossly exaggerated. At the charity department in City hall it is stated that there are very few new appeals for aid being received now ttrom Spanish people. It is probable that the majority of Spaniards who are able bodied have found work in the tobacco fields. Because of the fact that the city of- ficials feel it their duty to ive preference on city jobs to those who have been residents and taxpayers e for years, Spaniards have he? the feeling that tney were being dis. criminated against unjustly by the municipal labor board. The discrimination, if such a term might be used in this sense, is ad- mitted, but for the above reasons, and it is claimed not unjustly. There were very few Spaniards in New Britain a year ago while many wmen with a greater claim on the =ity, who have lived here for years, are looking for work. . Mayor O. F. Curtis and other local officials are lending their aid and in- fluence towards placing the local Spaniards in the tobacco fields. SUSPECT GERMANS Recently Killed, ‘Wrote Book and Told of Use of Gas; Mexico General. Germans Reported Grieved. Mexico City, July 29— The assassination in front of his home here ‘of General Maximiliana Kloss, i1s now believed by the police here to have been the work of a German who was sent to Mexico to avenge the pub- lication by Kloss of alleged German mil'tary secrets. Kloss recently published a book oa asphyxiating gas, and it is said that a. 3roup in Germany decreed his death as the result. General Kloss during the Carranza regime was head of the artillery de- partment and had seen much active service. recent RUSSIAN "CONDITIONS. Railroad Situation is Especially Bad; In That Country. Warsaw, July 29.—Russia’s trans- portation difficulties, becduse of the general deterioration of.the railroads under the Bolshevik regime, accord- ing to Moscow reports, have bréught about an odd situation. While south- ern Russia has a surplus of corn and has been endeavoring to export it to Italy, northern Russia has been buy- ing the same kind of grain from for- eign countriees. The railroad situation is said to be particularly bad in central Russia and only recently it was reported that the service between Moscow and Kiev had been reduced to an average of one train a week for feight and passen- gers. Russia’s metal production is report- ed to have reached but two per cent of the pre-war figures, the coal pro- duction about 20 per cent and the oil production 40 per cent. Xl e N. B.

Mr. Hawes’ observations on the war are: “France is still grief-stricken, Cverywhere you go black is 'strikingly conspicuous in the.color of the dres.es of women, and at night it is surprising te see the crowds of women going fo churches and cathedrals to pray.” “If one is desirous of seeing the property damage done in the war he should go to France soon. Restor: tion work is going on, but damage i 1 to be seen. Visible signs will irobably remain’ for a long time as the French are unrelenting in their ‘eeling towards Germany. The Ger- mans want to push the work of restor- ation, but the French are holdinz vack. I visited Rheims and the ruin was painful to behold. I was at Soisson, Chemin des Dame, Belleau woods and other important batte onts. Everywhere the havoc of war is evident. It is interesting to know that the French have changed the name of Belleau Woods to Americia Marnes, as a memorial to our marines who were killed in such large mum- bers there.” e e SIS WEATHER SPOILS GAMES., -~ Owing to the excessive heat yester- day, Supervisor Jack Rourke, called off the athletic sports scheduled at the Smalley playgrounds.
