MISS GHENEY T0 PROPOSE REFORMS Manchester Woman to Introduce Measures Into Legislature Hartford, Jan. 16 (P—Legislative Feforms are to be proposed by Miss Marjorie Cheney, of Manchester, who is entering upon her fourth term in the house of representa- tives, in the form of bills which she bas prepared. From time to time in the past quarter century suggestions in the form of bills have been made to the general assembly to speed up its work, to shorten its sessions and to rid itself of minor matters which Tequire only passing attention. Miss Cheney would have all bills for proposed legislation except those originating in committee or drawn upon recommendation of the gover- nor filed with the attorney general at.least four weeks in advance of the opening of the session. Previous suggestions made from time to time have been to have all bills, except those specifically ex- empted, filed with the secrtary of state in advance of the session of the legislature, as is done in many other states. There are stautory provisions that certain bills, such as proposals to amend charters of corporations, petitions for charters, and claims agaist the state shall be filed in advance. But legislative eommittees have never yet reported favorably on a proposition to have the great bulk of proposed legisla- tion made a matter of record in ad- vance at the secretary of state’s of- fice. Goes Further Miss Cheney would carry her idea further by having either the attor- ney general or the clerk of bills weed out the bills and petitions filed, and mark them for comm: tee reference. Some such idea was in the mind of those whose had pre- viously advocated advances regis- tration of bills who would have the elerk of bills a permanent officer. In such case the clerk of bills would be able to study proposed legislation and determine if it was in proper form to go to a committee. Beveral governors, including Governor Trum- bull, have recommended that the CHICAGO A. C. EMBLEN THROWN INTO DISCARD Familiar Sight of the “Chesry Cir- cle” Will Be Seen No More at Mocts Chicago, Jan. 16 (UP)—Worn for thirty years by many leading ath- letes of the country, the famed “cherry circle” emblem of the Chi- cago athletic association went into the track and field discard today. ‘The emblem was taken out of cinder track competition when its backers announced the disbanding of a team, which countless times has seen its members step into Olympic, national and sectional championships. Thepe had been & rumor for some time that the C. A. A, was contemplating withdrawing from track and field athletics but the ac- tual withdrawal came as a surprise. Many believed that wealthy mem- 'bers of the assoclation would show enough interest to prevent disband- ing the “team. | Parents Worried as Boys Disappear New Haven, Jan. 16 (#—Two high school boys, “stay-at-homes™ who had never indicatgd any advens turing £pirit, were out on the “road"” today, while their parents wrung their hands in grief. The mother of Petgpr Mlm 18, and tha father of Michael feto, 15, walked into the detective bureau last night and told the detectives their sons, inseparable companions as well as neighbors, had disappear- ed. The last they saw of their sons was when they walked off, side, by side, for school Monday morning. When they had not returned from the noon-day meal, the parents be- came anxious, but their anxiety did not become intense until the supper hour, when again neither appeared. The parents compared notes and then sought for ends of the two boys. They learned the chums had not gone to ‘school. The parents waited for their sons to return until last night, and then brought their stories to the detective bureau. D. S. M. Awarded to Roxbury, Mass,, Man ‘Washington, D.

'SHATING ENJOYED IN PUBLIC PARKS Snow Scraped O Surface for Ontdoor Winter Sport Although the ponds were covered with nearly five inches of snow yes- terday morning, enough had been scraped off to permit skating in all |the parks tast night. The flooded section of the athletic field at Wil- |low Brook park, probably will be iready for skating in a day or so if the present weather keeps up. This section was flooded over once and was ready for skating when a warm rain and thaw flooded it and washed {away part of the bank, G The changing of the course of “Spring Brook” at Willow Brook park running it into the Willow Brook instead of thr gh the swim- ming pool has made it possible to treeze over the municipal swimming pool and this will be used for hockey tournaments. There will be skating on this pool and on the baseball dia- mond in the park this evening. Walnut Hill park still proves a popular skating place. With but a portion of the swimming pool at Stanley Quarter park cleared last night there were between 700 and 800 skaters on the ice. Yesterday was a busy day for the park department. There were be- tween four and five miles of side- walks to clean, several miles of roadway through the parks as well as the surfaces of the skating ponds. In Stanley Quarter park it was im- possible to use a team of horses on the slippery ice, and because of the high banks a truck could not haul the snow off. Park Superintendent Clyde Ellingwood arranged a pulley attached on a tree vith a ropd sev- eral hundred feet long, hitched to a scraper on one end and a truck aut on the roadway on the other. In this way one gang of men can do the work of several gangs and the pond Wwill be entirely clear before evening. Superintendent Ellingwood has a |force of men at work fllling the swamp back of the Spanish War Memorial at Willow Brook park. {Two trucks are being used on this Jjob. The place will be filled and graded and seeded. Grading at Stanley Quarter park is nearing |{completion, plans are being made for The cold wave which reached & maximum severity of four below in Chicago yesterday caused four more deaths. Two taliroad workers were run down by trains in the yards dur- ing a snow atorm.

Most governors have been reluctant to sign bill in the original cover.
