HONEY FOR BOOKS mummmmto Board o Fiance. - Education foroes appeared last night before the board of finance in | support of the New Britain Insti- tute, the only library in the city. Among those who attended the hear- ing on the financial requests of the institute were Henry T. Burr of the library committee, Principal Marcus White of the State Normal school, two school principals and an officer of the United Parent-Teachers' as- sociation, The supporters of the library's re- quest explained that although there | was an_igorease of 100,000 books- ln circulation during the past threc years, the institute has received no additional financial aid. An increase of $8.445 or a total of $54,470 is be- ing sought. The only means by which the li- brary increases the money it re; ed is the failure of New Britain citi- zens to return books on time. The slight fines levied for this procrasti- nation amounts to about $1,000 a! year. There are about 75,000 books in the library, Principal White esti- mated. The annual circulation at the li- Yrary is about 330,000 books, ac- cording to the speakers. The frequent | usa of the books wears them out faster than they can be bought with the money allowed by the city. | Failure to have the latest books and replacement of old ones, injures the educational facilities for the children of the city. The speakers asked $15,000 in-| stead of $10,000 for new books and | increases in the salaries of those em- ployed at the library. Public Welfare Department Superintendent John L. Doyle of | the Public Welfare department made a modest request for an institutional washing machine and a tractor. He said that about 90 patients are in the ( city institution and because the farm thgre grows ahout 1,800 bushels of potatoes there, tl» tractor is badly noeded His department wants $93.- 771 instead of $91,382 received in l!ll. The heads of the water depart- mént were quizzed by members of the finance board. Chairman James J. Watson stated that the depart- ment’s requests would run into mil- lions of dollars. He explained that (UTS and SCRATCHES Stop the smarting and hasten the bealing by prompt application of Resinol SUGAR 10 s 52¢|Potatoes » 21 mm.uuplu-urmm proposed pipe line from Burlington land the new distributien lines, have |loen received trom Hazen & Whipple of New York and only a few rights of way must be secured before the work could be started.

J. Hagenbarth, president of the National Wool Growers' association. Hagenbarth sald the present wool tariff was “very fauity” in some re- spects, and that it did not protect than the total benefit received by the wool growers, Hagenbarth ssid he did not believe this estimate was accurate. $10,000 Suit Settled; - Plaintiff Gets $700 The $10,000 action of Mrs. Care- line Stanulonis, administratrix of the estate of her husband, John Stanu- lonis, against Wincenty Strong, alias William Strag was settled yesterday the American grower against hugeein superior court before Judge Ed- imports of wool waste. Whereas these imparts -formerly were leas than 400,000 pounds & year, he said, last year they reach. ed & total of 34,000,000 pounds. This displaced 80,000,000 pounds of domestic wool at a very nominal rate of duty, he added, in the manu- facture of clothing. “If anybody on earth is entitled to the best wool,” he asserted, “it is the American public.” ‘The 40 cent rate proposed would apply only to the higber grade wools. A duty of 2¢ cents was sug- gested for the lower grades. The dutiable value of the wool. under Hagenbarth's plan, would be determined by actual test. It is now estimated without test. 3¢ Cent Rate on 44's The 24 cent rate would apply to wool ranging downward from what is known in the trade as ¢¢'s. The win C.

Made by the makers of Mistol. because of its greater value The motoring public has found some- thing in the new De Soto Six that sets it completely apart from others in its field. It is not surprising that a car so beauti- ful, so comfortable, so powerful and responsive, and so safe and easy to drive should find a ready market. But it is significant that even such a car should set a new sales record for the industry during the first five months of its existence. The answer must lie in a widespread public conviction that the genius and resources of Chrysler confer upon De Soto a standard of value that is un- matched by any car of comparable price.
