utilities and oils were among the strong features of the week, although all groups showed temporary recessions which re-elected the Irregularity of stock price movements Buying was rather selective and high-grade Issues were favored, but speculative Issues and convertibles had their periods of strength which kept the trend headed upward. Coppers, strong group of the previous week, declined somewhat In favor. Steels, rubbers and amusement shares attracted buyers. The foreign list was rfiore active In some time, with Italian and German Issues chiefly In demand. Price movements In this list, however, while generally upward, were Irregular.

That means ability to carry on, an ability which depends primarily upon your good health Are you doing all you should to keep yoour body healthy and y6ur mind alert? Do you know the rules of good health and are you following them? If you are not, you are not a safe man; there is no safety for the folks at home. The day will come for you, as it must come for all of us, when your capacity for work will diminish, your earning power will fall away eventually stop altogether. Will that day find you dependent upon someone else, or will it find you with enough put by a home, insurance, wise Investments to take care of you and yours In comfort? Are you spending less than you earn? Are you investing the difference wisely? If you are not your future and the future of those who depend on you are not safe.

Safety means saving saving life and limb, saving health, saving income. Not in any one, but in all of these is safety. As Anti-Socialist WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. John Spargo, who after years of leader ship in the Socialist party, turned to writing against the doctrines of Marx, will support Herbert Hoover.

Republican nominee for President. His decision to suppart the Republican nominee came as a result of the vigorous attack on government ownership and operation in Industry made by Mr. Hoover in his New York speech. Mr. Spargo has sent the following statement from his hDme in Old Bennington, to the Republican national committee: "While I.

have decided to cast my vote for Mr. Hoover, I have only the greatest admiration and esteem for Governor Smith. I always ha'-e admired "his fine loyalty to the Roman Catholic Church to which "i belongs. "Prior to the deliverance cf Mr. Hoover's New York speech, 1 krew his views iroon ownership, of eovrsc.

For a number of years careful observers of the trend of modern political and social thought have recognized in Mr. Hoover one of the clearest and most competent spokes-j men of what I have ventured to call the philosophy of socialized individualism. In my own way I have tried to assist In making this philosophy popular. It is my profound conviction that socialized advantages achieved and made possible by individual initiative and efforts are bringing about a social order more efficient and likewise more beneficent than any of the old Utopias visioned. "Mr.

Hoover's statement comes at an opportune moment. During the past few years the advocates of government ownership have been direct ing their attacks against the public utilities. A well-financed, carefully-planned and vigorously-waged campaign has been going on in every part of the Union, having for it-s object the forcing of the United States government into the light and power industry. "That, as I have frequently pointed out, is only the thin end of the wedge; th? objective is socialism. And the universal Judgment of mankind is that which Mr.

Hoover so nobly pronounced in his speech on Monday night. Mr. Hoover's election will mean that in the central place of power in our natioml life we shall have one who knows the pathway of progress and has the courage to lead the nation along it." ARE YOU SAFE? (From the New Hampshire Labor Review) You may think you are a safe man. But are you? Yes. you handle tools carefully; you keep the guards in place; and, you do not get hurt.

FAYETTE 259.M. T. W. tf of Heretofore Characterized by Nervousness This Country's Industries Hold Far Above Normal Level NEW VORK. Nov.

4. OV-Business fame through the pre-election week, heretofore characterized by general nervousness, with complete confidence, as major industries heH far above the normal rate of aetivi'y for this time of year. Steel Steel production held close to 00 per cent of capacity as increased orders- from the railroads practically made up for the seasonal sag In automotive requirements. Ingot production Is expected to run about 5 per cent ahead of 1928, the previous record year. There was further improvement in steel prices, and pig Iron crossed 18 per ton for the first time since 1918.

The United States Steel Corporation reported earnings for the first nln months of the year amounting to $8.17 per share, compared to $7.75 in the like period of last year. During th week the New York Central Railroad plac ed orders for $8,250,000 wor'h of rails. Automobile The automobile Industry saaged a little further from its recent peak but the decline has been far less than normal for this season, ard production for the first ten morths of the year surpassed all previous rec ords for a corresponding period. Railroads One of the most Important industrial developments of the year was announced during the week the S100.000.000 electrification program of the Pennsylvania railroad. The metal industry particularly will benefit from this undertaking.

Copper prices remained firm, the export price crossing 18 cents. Earnings Statements Earnings statements for the third quarter were particularly encouraging they poured In during th week. Totals for the first nine months were in a number of instances more than twice that for the like period of last year. Seasonal Trade Seasonal trade picked up under the Influence of cold weathrr. particularly In dry goods.

Irregularity still persisted in the shoe Industry, and while the depression In hides continues, fewer price reductions were listed during the week. Freight ear loadings for the latest week were again well above last year, but fell below 1926. Demand far lumber increased, and the coal outlook was Improved by the weather. Wheat Prices Wheat prices lost most of the gain of last week, with Increased estimates of the visible supply. There was some Improvement In cattle and hog prices as the seasonal movement de cllned.

Business Failures Business failures during the week subsided below the high totals of previous weeks and that of the like week a year ago. Bond Market NEW YORK. Nov. 4. UP) The past week produced a deeded improvement in prices and activity of issues on the bond market.

Not only did prices generally" seek higher levels, but trading increased and broadened, demand grew and the tone of the market was better than in weeks. The Improvement undoubtedly reflected easier money conditions, passing of the peak of fall credit demand, month-end dividend payments which gave Investors funds for market uses, favorable trade news and a host of other encouraging developments. Sudden increase in the olume of new offerings during the week was further evidence that the immediate future of the bond market appears brighter than in some time. The total of above $99,000,000 was the largest tn some time and compares with $74,000,000 last week rnd for the corresponding week cf 1927. Time money hovered around 7 per but showed signs cf moving lower rather than higher, and some AssociatecGas Electric System To the ItnMers of S's Convertible Gold Debenture, due Feb.

RUSSIA'S NEW CALENDAR (From The Pathfinder) A new calendar for Soviet Russia has been proposed by the govern- I ment's romreissar of worship.

In it the names of days and months would 1 nerpctuate those of leaders of th Russian revolution. Two of the old names of months would be retained. February and October, because of their revolutionary associations. The other months would be Lenin. Stalin.

Rykoff, etc. Sunday, too, would be called Lenin: then there would be I Soviet day. Revolution day and r'o on. The present calendar marked with church holidays and festivals with religious designations Is com- pletely out of date, it is held. I The proposed changes are in line with what was done durpg the French revolution an event which was considered by the participants i as marking the beginning of a new i era.

There were new months and seasons, and the first year of the revolution was Year I. Some 'of th'S changes survive yet. for instance the metric system of weights and measures. Classified ads brine opportunities. i plight of Wubingtonians far and wide.

Just how effective all this will be toward promoting a national movement to give Washington a place of own in national politics remains be seen. The nation will be so busy that day finding out whom it has elected to the White House that will not have much time to think dispassionately of the curious condition that deprives the residents of nation's capital itself of any Bhare that or any other election. But what the organizers of the campaign hope for is the welding of public opinion in Washington into such a force that Congress and the country large must some day recognize the demand for enfranchisement of the people of a city so large and im portant as to stand well up ammg the first score or so of metropolitan communities. Want Voice In Own Affair The Immediate demand of the Votes for Washington movement is limited and the stickers and other devices for calling it to the attention the country will show that. It is for the right to vote for President and Vice-President and for representation of the city in Congress.

The claim is made that in as much as Congress is the only board of aldermen or any other form of city fathers' organization Washington has, the people are entitled to have a sDokesman of their own in at least the House of Representatives. The handling of city affairs is regarded as so important, by the House that its rules set aside one legislative day each week for their consideration, yet no representative elected by the people of Washington sits in that body. nity of getting together for a pleas ant evening.

Philanthrophy In New Guise Davis has refused ever to be inter viewed about the play or about his motives in producing it, but it is known that, imbued with faith in the doctrine of reincarnation which it embodies, he has deemed It a worthy deed to spend a part of his millions to keep it before the public. When he first won wealth he gave a million dollars to his employes, another million for an agricultural foundation in the three Texas counties where his oil wells spout, and several millions more to his naUve town of Brockton, for a charity foundation and for city bathing pools. And if he can get the public outside New York to see "The Ladder" by sending more money after the million and a half he has spent on the New York production of the play he is ready to write the checks.

4. (T The good people of Washington, who will be mere Innocent onlookers at the election Navember 6, have already taken steps to "celebrate" election day in a fashion all their own. Through a committee on representation set up by those citizens who have long been howling with indignation over the fact that Washington residents alone are disqualified as a class from voting, plans have been framed to make the great day of the national election for other Americans a "Humiliation Day" for voteless Washingtonlans. Votelesis Election Booths Among other means by which the agitators of voes for District of Columbia residents hope to Impress their situation on the country will be the placing of election booths about the city, all to be silent witnesses to the political impotency of this half million or so section of the American people. The booths will be draped in mourning.

The "Voteless League of Women Voters." Washington's own special unit of the National League of Women Voters, will take care of this work. Other methods of propaganda adopted include an airplane bombardment of the city and surrounding territory with "Votes for Washington" stickers and the letting loose of toy balloons by the thousand setting f-rth the same plea. Automobile windshield stickers on domestic and visitinar cars are expected to carry on the good work over a wide area. There are to be radio addresses and slogan campaigns in the movie houses with hopes of getting the news reels to spread word of the WATERBURY Death of Charles C. Warren Prominent Business Man Charles Carlton Warren died at his i home Friday night at 7:45 after fail- v.f f- y.

health for fie years, but lor tne slnr the flood, he bad been declining rapiajy. tie naa uecii s-uu- fined to his bed lor tne past momn. The deceased was the son of Charles a lion ana siuna trrrij; was born February 11. 1843, in Hart land, where he attended school and afterwards was a student at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, N. H.

When he was 19 years of age, 1862, he determined to enlist in the army for the preservation of the Union. Being a most capable musician, he was attached as a first-class member to the band at headquarters of the 1st Vermont Brigade, Second Division, Sixth Army Corps, which he continued until honorably mustered out in 1865, when the speedy end of the rebellion was assured. He kept up music in after life, leading the Hartland and Waterbury bands; also was associated more or less in music with his son, Charles C. Warren. Jr.

He partlcl- pated in the stirring campaigns of the Army of potomac jor a of two years and was frequently under the most momentous battles. In 1864 he returned to Virginia, marched into Richmond among the first federal troops to enter the rebel capital. After the war, Mr. Warren returned to his native town and became associated with his father in the tanning business. Their plant was destroyed by fire in 1868.

Mr. Warren immediately leased a new tannery in Waterbury, which he conducted in partnership with Horner Wyeth of Boston. This was destroyed by fire. Subsequently he became the owner of this property, which has since. been devoted to the manufacture of harness and rein leather.

Mr. Warren was a member of Vermont Lodge No. 18 Free and Accepted Masons of Windsor and of Edwin Dillingham Post, Grand Army of the Republic. He was married December 15. 1873, to Ella F.

McElroy of Middlesex. Three children were born to them, one dying in Infancy, and Charles C. Warren, Jr, of New York and Mrs. P. H.

Craine of Mount Vernon, N. Y. When first coming to Waterbury the family resided in a small house near the tannery building while the house which they now occupy was being built. Mr. Warren has been retired from active business for several years.

A year ago Mr. and Mrs. Warren, shortly after the flood, went to Miami, for the winter; and since coming back has been out 1 frequently in his car, but since late fall has been confined to his home. The surviving relatives are his widow and two children. Mr.

and Mrs. C. C. Warren. Jr, and Mrs.

P. H. Craine arrived Friday and will remain with their mother for a short time. The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from his late home on South Main street. This will be a Masonic service.
