Miss Graham will be assisted by Mrs. Irene Provencher. The sale will begin on Saturday, 5. It will be conducted by the members of the Legion auxiliary with the help of the Legion post. The auxiliary hopes to scll 1500 pop- pies this year. The poppies are manufactured by disabled veterans of the World War who are still confined to government hospitals for treatment for injuries receivea during their service. The purchase of the poppics by the Le- gion posts throughout the country gives them an opportunity to earn money badly needed in most cases. The proceeds from the sale of the poppies, which are worn as a me- moriai token for the servicemen who gave up their lives during the war, are used exclusively for the welfare work carried on by the Legion post and its auxiliary unit. This work in- cludes tokens of cheer to local serv- icemen in hospitals, Christmas box- cs during the season, relief of dis- tressed “buddies”, and many other forms of charitable and social work. The sale of poppies in Plainville in past years has always met with success and the auxiliary and the Legion are confident that the entire 1500 poppies will be purchased by local residents this year.

TACNA-ARICA PACT AIDED BY HOOVER Trip to South America Paved Way lor Treaty Lima, Peru, May 18.—(®—Alex- ander P. Moore, American ambassa- dor to Peru and one of the actors in the Tacna-Arica settlement, in a statement today gave President Hoo- ver much of the credit for the agree- ment. “If it had not heen for President Hoover's visit to South America,” he said, “I do not think any settlement would have been possible. “The state department at Wash- inton was most helptul, although' they modestly have denied this. The work of the secrctaries of state. Colonel Stimson and Mr. Kcllogg. and of Assistant Sccretary White, contributed largely to the successful | settlement.” ! Almost immediately on receipt of news that President Hoover had an- nounced the settlement of the half- century old dispute, extra editions of Lima newspapers were on streets, with the text of the settlement, and comments of the nation’s leading statesmen, Provinces Divided Washington, May 17 UP—Tacna and Arica, which have been called | the Alsace Lorraine of South Amer- ica. are to be divided. After 4G years of international controversy, Chile has agreed 1o re- turn Tacna to Peru while retaining Arica. The agreement was reached through direct negotiations made possible by the resumption of diplo- matic relations between the two gov- ernments last year at the suggestiou of Former Sccretary Kellogs. As announced by President Hoover, not as arbiter in the dispute but at the request of the two gov- ernments, the agrcement does not mention the demand for a route to the sea which has been pressed by Bolivia, landlocked since the Chilean victory in the war of the Pacific which lost Tacna to Peru. Bolivia and Peru werc allies in that contest, and the announcement of the agrecment between Chile and Peru brought a statement from the Bolivian legation that the questions involved were still “far from set- tled. Chile, under the agreement, pay $6,000,000 to Peru and. wil while I retaining the port of Arica. will con- istruct a port for Peru on the Bay In addition, Peru will re- ceive. without cost. all public works already constructed in Tacna, ani Chile will retain the Arica-Tacna railroad Monument to Dead have agreed to of Arica.

A number of important matters will be brought before the city coun- cil at its adjourned meeting next Tuesday evening, chief among which will be the question of increasec compensation for the registrars of the four tuxing districts. Definite recommendations, it is understood, will be made by Lester G. Sigour- ney and Joseph I. Dutton, repub- lican and democratic town chairmen, respectively. At present the eight registrars in the city receive $100 a year. An in- crease is believed justified because of the fact that this year the lists will be made up alphabetically as to streets, rather than by name. The new arrangement puts Bristol in the same class as Hartiord, New Haven, New Britain, Bridgeport, Ansonia, Meriden, Waterbury, West Haven, West Hartford and Middletown. What increase will be recommended is not known. Mr. Sigourney discussing the mat- ter, expressed the opinion that Bris- tol has reached the point where full time registrars are a necessity and it is possible that this angle will re- ceive consideration by the city coun- cil a little later. On the voting lists last year there were 10,318 names, an increase of 0 over the list of 1927. A proportionate increase is anticipatcd this year, largely because of steps being taken by prominent French-American residents to thave the French-Canadians now living in Bristol naturalized.
