From Things are gradually getting into shape preparing for elections to be held this fall. The following offices are to be filled at this time: selectman, first, second and third; tax collector, town clerk, constables, grand jurors, assessors, board of relief, registrars ‘of voters, auditors and the school committee. All of these offices were filled at the election last year with the exception of that of town clerk. This office is filled every other year and mot annually as are the rest. Arthur L. Woodruff, present town clerk, announced this morning that he intends to be a exndidate for that office again at the fall elections. Mr. ‘Woodruft has been town clerk of Ber- “Mn for several years: He has served the town to the best of his ability, according to local politicians and it 18 probable that he will be re-elected at'the polls. As far as can be learned, no other person -in the town has sig- nified his intentions of runnig for this office. Dame rumor has it that there will be more or less agitation in regards to the first selectman’s berth. George B. Carter has held tnis_office for the past year and in the judgment of many has done very well. The tax collectors office will not have any trouble in being filled it the gossip about town should take the * course it is now leading. Two prom- inent Kensington men have been named as possible candidates although when called neither would say any- thing for the present. At the Jast session of the registrars which was held in the town clerk’s offics last night, Henry Deming stated that about 20 people have reported to file any changes. [TCHY EGZEMA ON HEAD AND FACE In Pimples, Could Not Sleep. Cuticura Heals. Mr. Deming further stated that was interesting to note that eight democrats had signified their inten- tions of going over to the republican party while two ‘republicans chosa to bo democrats. During both ses- siona of the registrars no women called to make changes. It iz evident from this fact that women intend to stick to the party to which they pledged themselves when made voters last fail. The entire list is being revised for the caucuses ‘and primaries due to the fact that the women didn’t have their names on the list last year. It is also interesting to note that three members of the school board will leave this year as their —respective terms have expired. Store Is Entered. A successful attempt was made at an early hour this morning to enter thé store of Thomas Barattiero on Berlin street. Thé entrance was gained by prying open one of the big front windows of the store. The glass was cracked and the culprits did not have much of a job to take the pane out. Mr. Barattieor stated thit morning that the burglars took shoes and dry goods from the store which amounted to about $150. There is some talk to the effect that the burglars made their getaway in an automobile. Kensington Pcople Hurt. Mrs. Mary Padelh, 56 years old, wife of Joseph Padelli of Kensington was removed to the New Britain hos- pital last evening shortly after 6 o’clock, suffering from a fractured left wrist as the result of a fall on the sidewalk in front of the Palace theater in New Britain. It is claimed that Mrs. Padelli stepped on a banana peel which had been thrown on tha walk. Thomag Collina of Main street, Ken- sington, fell from tha second floor veranda early last evening but was no: seriously injured. Autoists Fined $25. . In the Berlin town court last night, Ycala. Margheslein of New York was fined $25 and costs totalling $30, on a charge of reckless drivipg. Marghes- lein was driving an aatomobile which struck a milk wagon belonging to Mrs. Frank Angeleti of Berlin. She was thrown out of the wogan and the milk was spilled.

The city labor bureau this morning issued its usual weekly quota, of cards ! for me to g0 to Work next week. This number averages about 100, 2 S0t o ‘higher as had been rumored. When the factory closed its doors last Septem- ber, all work came to an abrupt standstill and the broken lots of sizes remained unfilled. Even the work on the various machines was left and these hava deen cleaned up. The officials wet® of the - opinion that when the plant closed in Sep- tember business would . warrant an opening again the first of January. This was not found so and a prob- ability of operating in March was then-locked forward to. There were no business houses buying however, and the March opening was not carried out. There are hopes how- ever for a decided increase in busi- ness within the next six weeks as the outlook now is promising. The wholesale houses have evidently found buyers and these orders will necessarily have to be filled. The new samples which are béing worked out promise to be a success as expert desigriers have beer: con- sulted on the subject and have ap- proved of them. A new garment is being planned ‘which will, it is ex- pected, place the Bristol Mills rank among the business houses. than ever before . during , the 65 years they have been in operation. Eventually, when .the garment is placed ®n the market, the plant ‘will in all probability see fit to operate on its usual scale and hire the old: hands in agafn. '~ There is no definite date however for this ) ; Registrars YWwerg Busy. The registrary of votbrs held a busy session at the town hall yestérday af- ternoon and evening placing tha le- gal voters of tha town on' their re- spective party lists for the comig cau- cuses. 'There were a total of 160 en- rolled. Of these there were 40 demo- crati and the rest republicans. The majority of them, however, were women who decided not’ to be left at the caucus sessions. It appears that during the past vears, the legal voters of the town have not been acquainted with the necessity of placing their names upon these lists as it needed to have the right to vote at the town daucuses. Many are of the opimon that if they are legal voters of Plainville, they can exercise this right of franchise and vote at a caucus. This is not so. Any person who has falted to place his or her name upon the respective party list during the times the registrars were in’ session, as they 'were last night. have not the 11ght to vote at a caucus. This is in effct providing the check-list is being used. This check-list showa all persons placed their names on the party lists during the sessions of the registrars and the names are checked off as the person votes. Any other voter, who appears to vote at the caucus, and has not placed his name ion the list, can- no: vote. \ However, during the past several vears, the check has not been used with the result that all thq legal vot- ers of the town could exercise their right to vote at a caucus. There were two times, however, that the check- list was used and it caused some commotion. The people did not un- derstand the necessity of placing their names on the party lists. It is not probable that the check-list will be used this year but should the ques- tion come up, and it is used again, there will be 190 people in the town, out of some- 700 voters, able to vote at the caucus, simply because they placed their names on their party list. It is hoped, however. that the check- list will not be use® and save some excitement 'until the voters realize the necessity of placing their names on their proper lists for the cavcus vot- ing rignt. Church Picnic, Happy, jubilant, and looking for- ward to a good time; the Sunday school childrer of the Methodist church left the center of the town at 10 o’clock this morning to enjoy their annual outing and picnic at Lake Compounce. Teachers of thé sghool. parents of the children, and members of the congregation, accompanied them. Events were held at the Lake and dinner was served at the pavilion. NOTICE.

Representatives Longworth and Bacharach led the movement for re- duced normal income taxes. Mr. Bacharach first proposed a reduction in the rate trom 4 to' 3 per cent. or $500 increased exemption for both married and single persons. First the committee voted for the increased ex- empticn for all paying the normal taxes. Then it reversed itself and al- lowed only an exemption to heads of families for each child and dependent. This caused considerable crjticism in the republican ranks ang the granting of an increased exemption of $500 to married persons resulted. The committee also considered placing ‘a 3 per cent. tax on the man- ufacturegers of the articles on which luxury taxes are imposed under the present laws. Reduction $600,000. The reductions made with those of $550,000,000 made previously, bring the total close to the $600,000,000 set by House leaders and President Hard- ing.

AID FOR AUSTRIA IS SOUGHT BY ALLIES (Continued from First Page). nous and the impression is that he will accept the verdict of a majjority of the council, “Pertinax” political editor of the Echo de Paris declares the French premier made such an arreement. The idea of submitting tne matter to the league of nations, -ays L'Oeuvre, originated with M. Driand, who suggested it to Mr. Lloyd George when they met at the Italian =mbassy last Tuesday. The British premier rejected the plan, but revived :it when he found France would not give way vesterday. 1 Much Dissatisfaction. Emphatic dissatisfaction with the Aecision "of the supreme council to <all upon the league of nations to set- tie the Silesian question was generally expressed by the press here today. The students of Paris today entered into the Uupper Silesian controversy. Residents of the city found on their way to work this morning that the city had been plastered with large posters issued by an association of students. The posters gave a care- fully prepared argument in support of the French position as opposed to that of Great Britain. Newspapers printed in the English and French languages based their contention that the French attitude was correct on the ground that if the partition of Silesia would cause to arise a spirit of revenge in Germany it was too late to apply this theory. They' declared that, since Danzig and other places had been taken away from Germany, the only thing remain- ing was to render Germany as im- potent as possible. Want U. S. Aid. In a resolution adopted by the supreme council the congress of the United States is urged to act in aid of financial relief for Austria. The Tesolution expresses the desire of the council that the United .States pass, as soon as convenient the measure in this connection that Ambassador Har- vey informed the meeting was still pending, so that the Austrian financial relief plan, which is declared to have been held up by American delay in waiving Austrian debt payments may be put into operation. The allied nations are planning financial relief for Austria through a scheme, one feature of which in- volves the suspension of claims against that nation for a period of 20 years. Paris dispatches in July reported authorization by the council of am- bassadors of communication with the United States with a view to securing its consent to withholding claims estimated at approximately $24,000,- 700 against Austria. The pending American legislation referred to in the foregoing dispatch apparently refers to legislation giv- ing Secretary Mellon wide authority in the, matter of refunding foreign loans.
