NARNET ANALYS HEDIGNE FOR . Dr. Kiein Rocommends Applica- tiow of New Business Science By GEORGE H. MANNING (Washington Correspondent, N. B. Herald) Washington, D. 8, Oct. 29 —The new science of market analysis and business management can overcome the keen competitive conditions and other trading problems peculiar to Connecticut, as well as the rest of New England, said Dr. Julius Klein, director of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce today. Markets for Connecticut indus- tries are rapidly expanding, it was also indicated by Dr. Klein. Stead- ily improving national standards of living and increasing purchasing power of the public were given as the reasons. This optimistic view of Connecti- cut industrial and commercial con- ditions was disclosed in Dr. Klein's comment on publication today by the department of commerce of the first of a series of pamphlets which will cover the entire field of New England business. The pamphlets will in turn form the basis for three large volumes which are intended by the depart- ment as & definite survey of the field. In the first one, issued by the de- partment today, the situation of the retaller and consumer in Connecti- cut and the rest of New England is studied at some length. It includes discussions of mail-order retailing, chain stores, department store buy- ing and selling, relative trading by men and women, furniture and auto--| mobile sales and many other topics. Mail Order Retailing Tn the matter of mail order re- tailing significant figures on Connecti- cut are quoted. These figures show that an average numbgr of 25.2 packages are delivered annually to each of the 56,657 families living on rural routes in the state. *“The pro- portion in Connecticut,” says the de- partment, “is doubtless influenced by suburban deliveries frDm the New' York metropolitan area.” The state ranked third among the six states of the area in number of packages delivered per family. Connecticut ranks second only to Massachusetts in the number of re- tail outlets, There were 23,510 of thess outlets, such as small grocery stores, tobacco shops and confection- ery stores, in 1927, The state again is outranked only by Massachusetts in the number of department stores, 31 being listed. this s far more than in any of the others except in Massachusetts, which in turn has far more than Connecticut. The survey goes on to show how Connecticut is cooperating with the other states of the group in consum- ing fts own products. In a partial inventory of such products, the de- partment shows that New England draws on Bridgeport for shiclds, Danbury for marquisettes, Meriden for silverware and various furnish- ings, New Haven for clocks and rub- r goods, and New London for cre- tennes and shade pulls. Of the 2,258 men’s clothing stores, the report goes on, which are in this ares, Connecticut has 428. It has 332 of the 1,282 stores handling men's furnishings, and 10 of the 57 chains handling these lines. In cach it ranks second among the six states, The veport calls attention to the {8t. Mary's fact that considerable competition cxists here among Connecticut cities, as well as among the others, in these.| Connecticut again shows a rela- tively large number of furniture stores. There were 3,343 such stores in New England at the time of the survey, of which the state boasted 638, Of the 1,930 stores handling furniture exclusively, Con- necticut had 391, while it had 15 of the 98 department stores carrying furniture lines. In secondhand stores the state once more ranked well, having 139 of the 879 in New England. In both general stores carrying furnjture and general stores with no separate department, however, Con- necticut furniture trade apparently in less. There were 27 of the for- mer type and 50 of the latter. 438 Chain Stores in State Turning to a discussion of the chain store situation, the bulletin shows that there are 436 chain stores in Connecticut and that no other state besides Massachusetts in this group possesses as many as 100. The average of population per chain store in Connecticut is 8,167, as compared with 2,246 in Massachu- setts, In Maine, the onl> other store cven close to these, the avers age was 8,000 persons to each store. ‘The state maintains this approxi- mate porition among the others of the group in the matter of automo- bile distribution. Ior the years 1926 and 1927 there was an aver- age of 1,962 high-priced cars, 11, 935 medium-priced ones, and 15,961 low-priced ones in the state. The state ranked second to Mas- chusetts in each of these and sec- ond In total automobiles owned. The Connecticut figures do net include Fairfleld county, on which statistics were not available. In the matter of automobile out- lets, the state possessed one of the three wholesale outlets in New Eng- land outside of Massachusetts, and had 470 retail distributors, SHOWER FOR MISS WALSH Mrs. William F.

Will Bring Ma- chinery From New York City Philip Bratton of §36 Stanley street, factory superintendent for the J. C. McAdams Co., Inc., has just returned from Chicago and the Automotice Equipment association exhibition held at the Coliseum where the J. C. McAdams company was the only New Britain exhibitor and one of the few from this section of the country among the more than 400 there. The McAdams company is one of the newer New Britain industries, having been located in the old Traut & Hine plant for about a year, Two ot its specialties were exhibited: at the Chicago show, an automobile radiator shutter with vertical shut. ters, a new product, and an llr cooled arc welder. The air cooled arc welder, tho only machine of its kind being built, is manufactured in New York, but the McAdams company is bring- ing its machinery to this city and will begin produeing them at the Stanley street plant about January 1. The arc welding machine differs from acetylene welding in that the metal being welded does mot have {to be pre-heated or does not have to be taken apart. It is an electrical apparatus which causes an intense arc. The apparatus is air cooled, dissipating all heat generated by the transformers and other equipment. Mr. McAdams is a mid-westerner, coming here from 8t. Joseph, Mo., where he is well known in manufac- turing circles. READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS FOR BEST RESULTS DENTIST Dr. A. B. Johnson, D.D.S. Dr. T. R. Johnson, D.D.S. X-RAY, GAS and OXYGEN NAL. RANE BLDG. jority of 30 at Least New York, Oct. 29—Democratic controt of the next House of Repre- sentatives, to be elected November 6, by a majority of not less than 20 and which may go to §0, is claimed by Chairman William A. Oldfield in a preliminary forecast issued by the Democratic National Congressional committee today. Mr. Oldfield said that reports re- ceived at his campaign headquarters made him confident that the demo- crats would capture a minimum of 81 districts now represented by re- publicans, with a possibility of over- tudning between 50 and 60 districts. These gains, Mr. Oldfield said, will be in every section of the country, from New England to the Pacific coast. In the present house, there are 195 democrats with 218 neces- sary for a majority. An overturn of only 23 districts would give the demecrats a bare majority. An over- turn eof 31 districts, the minimum which Chairman Oldfield forecasts, would give the democrats 226 seats. There are two districts in Minne- sota represented by independents whose reelection is regarded as prob- able. This would leave 207 seats to the republicans or a democratic plurality over the republicans of 19. Mr. Oldfield said while he was ac- fually claiming only 31 additional democratic congressmen, as sure, he fixed that as the absolute minimum and placed the number of districts in which the democrats have & splendid chance of success at as high as 60. A gain of §0 seats would give the democrats a plurality over the republicans of 59, and it is quite possible, Mr. Oldfield said, for the democrats to have control of the next house by a margin of 50 or more seats. Expects Gain in East Chairman Oldfield said that the sentiment in the east would sweep into the democratic column many congressmen in districts now repre- sented by republicans. In the north- west, the farm revolt is working to the advantage of democratic candi- dates in a great many districts, he said. One thing that is notable about this campaign, Mr. Oldfield said, is that the democrats are fighting from one end of the country to the other. There is hardly a district in the country in which the democrats do not have a candidate for congress. In many districts which have been allowed to go.by default in past clections, democratic candidates are in the fleld waging a vigorous cam- paign. He cited Pennsylvania as an example, a state in which there are now but two democrats in a dele- gation totaling 36. “We have democratic candidates in all but two or three districts in Pennsylvania and it will net sur- prise me if our strength in the dele- gation from that state is as high as twelve in the next house,” his state- ment said. “What is true of Penn- sylvania is also true\ef Ilinois and other states. Not much has been said about the congreasional contest but this does not mean that we have not been active, and there are going to be some results on election night which will be more surprising than satisfactory to our republican op- ponents.” LEAYES SCREW SHOP POST Philip J. Scheyd Retires From Fore- man’s Position After 33 Years on Payroll of Factory, Philip J. Scheyd, for 35 years {n the employ of the Corbin Screw di- vision, severed his connection with the concern Saturday and has taken the managership of a gasoline sta- tion on Stanley street. For a num- ber of years Mr. Scheyd was a foreman at the factory. Language and History Of Italy to Be Taught Beginning Monday evening, No- vember 5, Italian children of this city will have the opportunity to at- tend classes in Italian language and history, to be held at St. Mary's parochial school. The project has been made possible through the co- operation of Italian societies, which have engaged the services of Miss Josephine Cubbedu, recently of Italy, who will conduct the classes. It is expected that more than 100 Italian children between the :ges of 7 and 15 will enroll during the first day, and classes will be held five afternoons a week. No religious lines will be drawn, it was announc- ed, and all children irrespective of their bellef, will be admitted. The move is the first in line of building a community center and later a Catholic church for the many Italians in this city. Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa has been largely re- sponsible for pushing the project, it is said, THREE WEEK-END FIRES Co. No. 7 of the fire department extinguished a slight fire in the con- trol box of a Connecticut Co| trolley car yesterday afternoon near 8t. Mary's cemetery on Stanley street, The fire caused ccnsiderable com- motion on the car but nobody was injured. A chimney fire in the home of A. Cohen of 162 Greenwood strect was oxtinguished without damage Sat. | urday night. Saturday afternoon an alarm was rung from Box 835 at Orange and Bilver streets for a fire in a closet of the home of John Novak, 73 Booth street. An overheated chim- ney caused the blaze, which did damage estimated at $50. ST | “ENGLAND 1S USED Has Bocome Prevalent Throngh- oat the Whole Worid ‘Washington, D.

Court sat wh the scarlet-robed judges of the Court of Common Pleas at sunrise entered their stand facing an open field. They called upon the Ser- geant-at-law to read a proclamation vaming the parties to the suit and their respective champions, The lat- ter rode into the lists or fenced area €0 feet square and took this oath: ‘Hear this, ye justices, that I have this day neither eaten nor drunk nor have upon me any bone, stone, or graas nor any enchantment, sorcery or witchcraft, whereby the law of God may be abased or the law of the devil exalted, so help me God and his Saints.’ “Then the fight began. If either champion were killed or either yielded, pronouncing the word ‘crav- en,’ judgment was given to the man .| who knight was victorious. It they found all day, ‘fought to the stars,’ then the court declared a draw and gave judgment for the defendant because he was in possession. Henry II “Fuather of Juries” “The people of England welcomed the laws of Henry II which gave a party to a lawsuit the rjght to de- mand trial by jury in place of trial by battle which so often gave the verdict for the party rich enough to hire the brawniest brute. “Trial by jury, successful in the of injusticc whea first it was trans- planted to the Continent. France in the fervor of her new freedom from monarchy, adopted the jury system in 1793, But soon the leaders of the Revolution debased it. They packed Jjuries and made them the engines of death in the Reign of Terror. It is said that a Paris jury in 1794 tried and condemned to the guillo- tines 76 persons in a single day. “Despite her unhappy experience France has kept the jury system, but in a modified form. Civil auits never go before juries in France and three judges sit on the bench instead of the single judge required in the British Empire and the Unit- ed States. Napoleon, marching up and down Europe, carried the jury system in his knapsack and installed it here and there. The uprising of 1848 brought the big German states into line. Austria, Italy, Belgium, Bwitzerland and others also adopted the institution. Just before the turn of the century the Russian Tsar proclaimed it throughout his broad domain, Juries Oaly In Libel Suits “Mexico, 8an Salvador, Colombia, Ecuador, and Uruguay use the jury system, although some of their Latin neighbors do not.

One hundred years later Henry II found the royal and chureh courts at loggerheads over property claims. He decided te solve the dilemma by letting the ‘inqui- sition’ of twelve men the meigh- borhood decide the ims in the presence of his judges. Henry 11 thus created the assize utrum, the first true jury trial. “Yet evolution of the jury was not complete.
