E ON HONE PROGRESS ‘Bxhibits fn Stanley Arema At: *tonded by Largs Thron New Britain's Home Progress Ex- position, the first of its kind at- tempted in this city, opened last night at the Stanley Arena on Chureh street, with approximately 1,000 men, women and children at- tending. Long before the formal opening took place, hundreds ot in- terested visitors milled around the 60 odd booths and did not hide their surprise that such a varied and in- teresting group of exhibits could be gathered by merchants of this city. Every booth, no matter how large or small, attracted the curiow: Interesting Exbibitions The individual booths although not exhaustive in exhibited products, were Interesting. The Commercial “Trust Co. exhibit drew the largest number of spectators, who viewed with admiration and surprise the unique gown of bank notes of vari- ous denominations worn by Miss Aldone Politis a member of the trust company’s personnel. The gown, 'which was the handiwork of Parker i& Parjer, is made of 186 notes of 181 denomination, trimmed with ros- 'ettes made of $10 bills, the entire 'value of the dress being $500 from ithe point of actual cost of the ma- terial. In her hand Miss Politis ‘carried a fan made of $10 bills. Another striking exhibit was that of the Moorland Farm in Kensing- ton which exhibited a prize-winning Guernsey cow n its booth. Porter & Dyson's booth with an exhibit of sliverware and diamonds attracted wide attention, the most interesting pieces being two diamond studded wrist watches of an aggregate value of $20,000, and some large diamonds This booth was the only one in the entire exhibit highly protected with insurance and an armed detective.| Of special appeal to the home builder, are the hooths of several dealers exhibiting stone and wo-d building materials, interior decora- tions, electrical fixtures and heating apparatus. In another place the city's plumhing association has a large booth containing the most ‘modern plumbing supplies, Another spot was occupied by the Connecti- 'eut Brick Association, with different varieties of bricks used in the build- ing of modern factories and homes on exhibit. A large amount of interest cen- tered around exhibits of modern eontrivances which were actually in motion, the Adkins Printing Co. drawing large numbers of specta- tors with an up-to-date job printing ‘press running at full speed-through- ‘out the evening. The Citizens Coal Co. attracted large numbers with its most modern heating apparatus Which is.a forge-like affair burning fine coal and known as the Electric Furpace Man. Stoking and ash re- | moval is automatic. The story of milk, how it is gotten and delivered to the consumer is cleverly and at- tractively told in the exhibit of the United Milk company. Civic Organizations Demonstrate Of -great interest wege the booths of civic organizations and clubs. 'The Junior Achievement has an at- tractive booth, the work of young ands, while the booth of the Girl Scouts depicts graphically the dif- ferent atages of the life and work | done by this organization. Of par- ticular interest is the Y. W. C. A. booth which exhibits a miniature kclubhouse, partitioned off into sec: tions, wherein are little dolls, de- pleting the varlous activities. | The Visiting Nurse association's | Bpace shows the entrance to a home NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1928, electrical appliances by Steve Rebd <5t ne MRS, NORNAN DART DIES INNEWINGTON 'Death Comes Again Quickly to Main Street Family of Commerce under whose suspices Newington, Oct. 4.—Cora Delia The condition of Mrs. Andrew An- derson, who is {ll at Hartford ho pital is improved. the home progress show is con- ducted.

Caraway, democrat, of Arkansas, concerning his reported liquor holdings, Secretary of Treas- | ury Mellon in a letter made public today said he never was personally engaged in the distillery or liquor business. | The secretary explained his invest- ment of §25,000 in the Overholt | distillery before the prohibition | amendment became effective. Hc eald the distillery had ceased man- ufacturing whiskey before they dry | law was enacted. | “I do not know how many gal-, lons of liquor were held at the time | when the Volstead act and the 18th | amendment became effective,” Mel- lon wrote, “In fact 1 have never known. I| have mever had any other interest connected with liquor or its distil- lation and never at any time was I personally engaged in the distillery or liquor business. | “In answer to your further ques- | tion, ‘why the distillery was pur- | chased,” my reply is that the distil- | lery was acquired years ago just as| 1 bought stock in any other business . . if I had bought $25,000 of | stock in a tobacco company, would it be sald I was a tobacconist?"” | sistant. HODVER'S CONGER 1S WITH THE EAS Will Make Efort to Hold ' Ground Here Washington, Oct. 4 UP—His at- | tention centered now upon the pres- ent exingencies of the campaign, Herbert Hoover is leaving to the future his precise program for the closing days of the president con- test. Concentrates in East His chief concern for the time be- ling is the eastern sector of the coun- Itry from which he receives varying |reports as to the outlook. Some of these are of a very pessimistic na- ture while others are less gloomy. | Assessing the whole, the republi- fcan presidential candidates is con- |vinced that the real fight is along |the eastern Atlantic seaboard, from |Jersey’s shores to the point where |beging the rock-ribbed coast of ne, and his efforts are directed toward strengthening the party ram- | parts there. ! Leaders in that section believe {that his personal visits to New York |city and New England will be of |great benefit and that after his per- sonal conferences with the workers and his two addresses, one in New York and the other in Boston, there will be a rising tide of support for the national ticket. Must Really Work Such party warhorses as Moses |of New Hampshire and Reed of Pennsylvania, have frankly told the candidates that persistent work must | be done in the east if the party is to | hold ground which in national elec- {tions it usually has been reasonably certain of long before election day. | The situation in the south also is |one to which Hoover is directing some of his energies and his per- | sonal bid for support in that section !will be made Saturday in his visits to Ellzabethton and Johnson City, 4Tenn., in both towns of which he | will make addresses. While this is largely republican | territory, it is well into the south- |1and, and Hoover's messages will be | directed in part at least to all of the country south of the Mason and Dixon line.

Pine Bluff, Ark., Oct. § UM—The turbulent married life of Harry and Fanny Smaluk which twice led them to the divorce court but each time again to the altar was ended in | what was officially recorded as mur- der and suicide.

The report points out that already many of the governmental func- tions of the Bank of England are recognized. Although the bank fis theoretically a commercial enter- prise owned by shareholders, actual- ly its administration is conducted in close association with the treasury and with “some regard to its nation- al responsibilit; The report holds, however, that the constitution of the bank should be such that it would be brought directly under public control and its governing body made responsible to the community and not to individ. uals, It was recommended that the bank should be taken over by a pub- lic corporation which would include representatives of the government treasury, the board of trade, na- tional industry and the co-operative Are Ready When your Children Cry forit BABY has little upsets at times, ' All your care cannot prevent them, But you cam be prepared.
