G.0.P. Women's Torchlight ~ Lends Color to Close of Campaign 700 in. Line Annoyed by Rowdies — Potato Hits | Lantern Carried by Judge’s Wife, Burning Woman, Nearly 700 women participated in New Britain's first women's torch- light parade last evening, when the Wontan's Republican club staged its muoh heralded and once poftponed political demonstration. With thousands of persons lining the sidewalks, the women from this | and surrounding towns began to| gather at the headquarters of the | club on West Main street shortly after 7 o'clock until by the time the parade moved, it was estimated that | there were between 800 and 1,000 ! people in line. By actual count there | were 161 rows of women marching from four to seven abreast. { Governoe's Wife in Line Because of the postponement of | the parade from Saturday night, | when it was spoiled by rain, the ‘women stated, Hartford and Meri- ! den delegations did not appear. A | delegation from Plainville, which ! she said numbered nearly 200, was | headed by Mra. John H. Trumbull. The procession was led by Mrs. Arthur W. Bacon, assisted by her aides, Mrs. George C. Loomis and Mrs. F. Chester Hale. Mrs. Ruth Walthers, republican state commit- teeman; Mrs. Buell B. Bassette,pres- ident of \the Woman’s Republican | club, and Mrs. E. B. Stone, vice chairman of the republican town committee, followed. | A large banner containing the | words “Humanity Over AlL" was carried by two women and was fol- lowed by Eddy-Glover Post, Ameri- can Legion, Fife and Bugle corps. A group of vice chairmen of the various wards carrying Hoover ban- ners was followed by an automobile, | the only car in the parade except & float, bearing Miss Eunice Lyman, who was one of Senator Charles | Curtis’ school teachers when he was | & boy in Kansas. Delegations of women from the wards, the Hoover chorus, the high achool chorus, a float containing children in costumes representing nations aided by Hoover's rellef committee, factory divisions and the Plainville and XKensington delega- tion made up the rest of the proces- sion, Women Carry Lanterns ‘The parade was marked by all the features of the old time torchlight | parade. Fully 300 Japanese lanterns | were carricd. many women and girls | carried banners . bearing Hoover's picture and hundreds of red and green flares were burned along the line of march. The procession started promptly at the announced time, § o'clock. About a dozen men. active in repub- lican circles, accompanied the wom- en, lending fheir moral support. The police department departed from the usual custom of having a detail lead |ot the procession, | just so they could create an agita- lalong the route of parade, embar- ! tempted to block its progress only to |0t Mrs. Parade the procession and on orders of Chiet Hart 20 men, two on motor- cycles, half dosen in plain clothes and the rest in uniform, all in charge of Traffic Bergeant John J. King, were acattered throughout the procession. The parade marched east on West Main street to Main, south to Franklin square, counter marched to East Main street, counter-marched again to Franklin square and back to the club house, where it dis- paign songs and cheering for Hoover. Outer Darkness for Encmy The procession was marked by many incidents, some amusing, some cmbarrassing and not a few annoy- ing. One incident brought consider- able embarrassment to a woman. This woman, whose name was not ascertained, was standing on the| porch of the club, when she saw a | procession, headed by a band com- | ing up the street. Not stopping to verify her suspicions, she ran into the club headquarters and began turning off all the electric lights in the house, almost in a panic stricken manner. Bystanders looked at her with amazement, one or two asking factiously, “Are you closing up?” ‘When all the lights were out, she returned to the porch and appar- ently just discovering her mistake, asked, “What parade is this?"

Later the same groups, including two automoblles, were seen marching through Main street shouting for Smith and Hoover all in the same breath and carrying ban- ners bearing pictures of both can. didates, AVIATORS T0 SCAN NEW BRITAIN ROOFS Will Seek Proper Points o Paint Name o City Following a letter from Postmas- ter General Harry 8. New asking that the local post office cooperate in the campaign to have towns and cities properly identified as an aid to acrial navigation, Postmaster Herbert E. Erwin announced today | that he had secured Theodore Hart and Lieutenant Carl A. Dixon, well known local aviators, to make a survey from the air of the roofs in New Britain that are best fitted and located as a place for painting the name of the city. After the aviators file their re- ports, the cooperation’ of the own- ers of the roofs specified will be sought.

Few people ex- | cept those in the house knew why the drum corps and leaders of the parade were greeted with darkness as they passed. | Probably the most annoying part yet one which carried with it an amusing feature, | was the molestation of the women by a gang of boys who started out carrying Smith banners, but wound up with Hoover banners after they had destroyed the first ones. It seemed to make no difference to these boys who they supported, tion. Cries of “Smith” and booes all rassed the women. Crowds of boys got in front of the parade and at- be disperscd by the police time and again. Potato Hits Judge's Wite Near Central park someone threw a potato which knocked a lantern out of the hands of Mrs. Morris D. Saxe, wife of Judge Saxe, acattering fire about Mrs. Trumbull and other Plainville women who stood nearby. One woman sustained slight burns on her legs but continued to march. At the Woman's Republicar club | headquarters after the parade was over, many prominent women con- gregated to greet Mrs, Trumbull and others. o enthusiastic were the leaders that Mrs. Bussette rushed in and threw her arms about the neck Stone, embracing her in sheer cestasy. The boys who created more or less petty disturbance along the line of march, followed the parade back to headquarters and continued their YUTLE MILLINERY CO. 1771 MAIN STREET In Our Downstairs Store Wednesday!
