The Cause And Cure Of Colds More People Suffer From What Is Known as “Common Colds'* Than Any Other Known Ailment Dr William 8. Sadler, director of the Chicago Institute of ltesearch and Diagnosis, writes In “The Par ents’ Magazine" on the cause and cure of colds. "Probably more people suffer from common colds,” Dr Sadler Hays, “than from ftll other ordinary mal adies. We Americans lose ubout one week each, every year, because of them. It Is estimated that they cause a direct annunl loss to wage earners In this country of close to $400,000,000, while they keep thou sands upon thousands of children out of school from three duys to three weeks every year. But that Is not their most serious consequence, for they are often responsible for sinus Infections, pneumonia, and even tuberculosis, as well as for the lowering of the vitality so that their victims fall a prey to numerous more dungerous maladies.” “And yet,” he continues “the greut majority of colds, at least 76 percent of them, con be prevented or Imme diately broken up If the laws of hy giene are obeyed and udequute measures are promptly taken at the first appearance of cold symptoms.” As a cure. Dr Sadler writes: With in the first hour carry out the fol lowing program, at home If pos sible: (1) Cleagsc lower colon with ail enema. nranged by Miss Bradley will be distinctly different from any pro gram ever broadcast In New Eng land.

CUT GREETS .1931 WITH SORfi AND PRAYER Chimes Toll, Bells Ring, Whistles Toot Arrival Of New Year Hotels and Fraternities Whoop it Up and Merriment Gushes at Stroke of Twelve—Watch Night and Early Morning Church Services Are Well Attended There won no evidence of de pression In the entnusiastlc man ner which 1931 was ushered In and formally welcomed by Waterbury. Theaters, clubs and dance halts were crowded with Joyous revelers. They sang, shouted and made ■whoopee when tho clocks chimed the hour of midnight. And on the other Side of the picture one found church services well attended with the spiritual significance of the passing of the old and the welcome of the New Year Impressively In evidence. It was the same old ceremony repeated for centuries passed. 1930 ■was rung out' with mingling emo tions--happiness and sorrow. 1831 was rung In for Its possibilities of happiness, prosperity and better times In all forms of activities. To-day's services In the churches ■were marked by large attendances. Indicating that after an evening of pleasure thousands took "time out" to turn their thoughts to something, more substantial and less frivolous than whoopee parties to observe Vather Time's actions In turning over another leuf in hts book. The ringing of the chimes at mid night was tho signal for thousands to commemorate the passing of one one year and the dawn of another. They set off all the pent up enthusi asm of celebrants. Whistles were blown, horns tooted and orchestras attempted to play "Auld Acqualn tanoes," "The Clang's All Here,” or some other number considered ap t proprlate for the occasion. Happy New Year’s greetings followed the din of the welcome to 1931. Elks hall, Eagles' hall, Columbus hall, the pavilion at Hamilton park. Hotel Waterbury, Y. M. C. A., Chase building auditorium, four theaters and hundreds of homes were the scenes of revelry when the clock tolled Its requiem for 1930 and echoed Its song of welcome to 1931. It was also the zero hour for those j, well, or Indefinitely outlined New Year’s resolutions. The “Never Agiiin" club reached the peak of membership at this memorable hour. Of course there were u few 1 resignations this morning. There j will be moro to-night, to-morrow, j the next day and so forth. But It was the commencement of a Happy New Year for all, so why not be chearful. So Happy New Yeur to you, friend reader, If someone has not already wished it. Now for the check up. Young •1931 must have been fluttered and puzzled as to where to hang his hat and park hi* traveling bag. AVith ever* table filled with mer ry-maker*, the Italnbow room of the Hotel Waterbury ushered In the New Year with one of the finest cel ebrations In town. Snappy orchestra music Interspersed with top notch entertainment kept the couples lit constant Joviality throughout the evening und early morning hours. A sumptuous feast with fried chicken as the top delectable pleased the fun making celebrators. The famous crystal ball suspend ed from the celling of the Italnbow room proved by Its brilliance last night the reason for the name of the popular dining and dance hall. As the ball cast Its beautiful rays about the room, the merry-makers blew their horns, threw streamers and balloons and made use of the vurlous noise making instruments. The entertainment program ar ranged by Manager Richard Law Included a singing team from the Strand theater midnight vaudeville show. Ton.my Coppetto and Miss Dorothy Smith. The professionals were really the hit of the evening with their diversified presentations. Tommy Coppetto has learned a lot of new steps and he exhibited them for the first time last night, ulso of ficiating as master of ceremonies. Miss Smith, la yea.' old songstress, proved a popular entertainer. Some 200 Elks and their guests made merry in their social hall. L'p at the Eagles’, Colonel William J. Shanahan impersonated Old Father Time tottering across the threshold at the stroke of 12 and little Miss Dollv Carroll was young 1921. AVliat a big hand that little girl received and as Shukespeare would remark wo don’t mean maybe. About 400 were present at the Eagles' big party. A turke supper was the out standing feature and why not. Pram's orchestra entertained and rendered the music for the dancing Hilly O’nrlen, Waterbary's populur tenor and winner of city honors in the Atwater-Kent audition, was the star performer of the evening. Pres ident Raymond S. .Bergen voiced the greetings of the Eagles. His commit tee of arrangements included Steph en Mitchell, Patrick Dunphy, J.

The audi ence needed no encouragement or persuasion lo whoop it up when Old Man 1 930 took his cue and walk ed off stage and little Miss' 1931 de manded the spotlight. She was the star of the evening and stopped the show. What a big future Is in store for that little girl!

In homes where revelry wus absent and where a more solemn view was taken of time’s lllght and the passing of an other milestone in life's Journey, the ehlines kindled sparks of gratitude for the past and hopes for the. fu ture. What thoughts Hashed through thousands of minds at that hour varied according to the circum stances under which persons greeted the new year. Watch services held at St John's church were largely attended. .Sim ilar services were held at the Ad vent Christian church, Grace Baptist church, West Side Community church and St Paul's Methodist church.

It was tlie traditional celebration of New year's day In the Page house hold which was under discussion. They h id always had an "open house" since they had been married. They wanted to c ontinue the custom, ony this year they believed they could let the children play a little larger part in the day's entertain ing. For instance, Peter’s young cousin could well see that guests were taken to the tea table. Joan could offer u plate of cakes to guests, and evin Peter Page Junior could greet the visitors. Usually the little tot was r Imnlahed to the uuraery. Ah li wan Nancy wan a Ml ur>rM«honalvo a a to what mi much oxollamont would do to him. jual ho hooi aa alio anw liia cliooka troll ln« (luahcil with oxcl'v ment she took him up to bed. But he hud a wonderful time while the party lasted for him. Nancy planned a menu o f tea, sparkling cold fruit punch, small cakes, traditional Christmas cookies, salted nuts, spiced nuts, and small squares of tart apricot paste. The tire was lighted In the fire place in the living room. The buf fet In the dining room held the cakes, nuts, cookies and candles. On the table in the, dining room was the tea service and the punch bowl. On this table were napkins, plates, spoons, and the fixings for tea lemon, orange slices with cloves, hard lemon drops, strawberry Jam and cream. Some of the guests took their tea Uussian fashion putting a large and plump preserved strawberry into the cup before the hot tea was poured in. Usually they added the lemon or arange wedge when they took the strawberry, but the richness of the strawberry made sugar unneces sary. The guests dropped in during the afternoon, stayed a half hour or so, extended their best wishes for the new year and departed. The evening guests played backgammon, ana grams and ended with an old time series of charades. If friendship and good wishes augur well for a coming year then Nancy and Peter were rich Indeed.

Y., (UP).— Leonard Macaluso of Colgate, leading 1»30 scorer and generally nn all-American choice for a full back berth, attributes his football success to hard work during the va cation period and the teachings of Head Coach Andy Kerr. Kerr, however, disagrees with half of this belief, lie said that "every thing that Maculuso is to-day, both as a man and a football player, he owes only to himself." Maculuso devoted last summer to roud construction work and pitching hay to get lilinself Into condition. He said this hardened his body so that he was able to buck a forward wall without a single Injury during the seusoil. "1 worker on u road construction Job last summer und I think that, along with Coach Kerr's teaching, was the mala factor In my success. Macaduso said. In pointing the outside of an oesan liner being constructed in Knglund the men will cover an area of ueurly three acres. By WM. K, McKENNEY Secretary American Bridge League It is rather unusuul to find the declarer bidding a no trump when his opponents have bid two different suits, but an example of this partic ular type of hand is given below. In the article dealing with leads against a no trump declaration when part ner has hid, the first exception to leading the top of your partner’s suit stated that If your partner sup ported your suit and you are weak in his, you should open your own suit. WEST S—K-0-8 H >-8-6 D—A-J-10 C—K-10 •-3 WORTH S—5-3-2 H—K-10-9-7-2 0-5-3 C—A-7-4 SOUTH—DEALER S—A-9-4 H—Q-J-4 D—K-Q-9-6-4 C—9-2 EAST S—1-10 7-6 H—5-3 0—8-7-2 C—0-1 9-5 a The Bidding South started the contracting with one diamond. At auction some play ers with West’s hand would bid one no trump, but at contract the double is better as it shows partner at least three and one-half high card tricks. North bids one heart, Informing his partner he holds one and one-half high cord tricks. East would pass. Houtli vould curry his partner’s bid to two lieurts. West now boldly tries two no trump, which closes the contracting. If North were now to open his partner's suit, the five of diamonds, Mouth would be forced to play the queen, which the declarer would win with the ace. Declarer would then start Ins club suit, which North would eventually have to win. North would then continue with the three of diamonds, which South would win with the king. South would set up two good diamonds In his own hand by lead ling a small diamond, forcing West The Play to win with the ten spot. Declarer would then lead the king o£ spades, forcing South’s ace. All South could do now Is to cash Ills two good diamonds, and North and South would only have taken three diamond tricks, the ace of spades and the ace of clubs, allowing the declarer to make two no trump. The proper play would have been for North to have opened his own suit. When he bid hearts, his part* ner supported him and as he is weak in diamonds he should open the seven of hearts, his own suit. South would pluy the Jack and now the declarer Is helpless to stop North and £outh from winning four heart tricks, a diamond trick, the ace of clubs and the ace of spades, or seven tricks In all. By opening his own suit. North has defeated declarer's contract two tricks. So remember when weak in partner's suit and partner has supported yours, open your own suit against a no trump dec laration. (Copyright, 19*0, NEA Service, Inc) youp They tell us that there is no such thing as a ''nervous” child. And 1 believe It to be true In a certain sense, but It all depends on the mean lng we take out of the word. If there Is not actual nervousness there are mental and emotional dis turbances that amount to the same thing. Also there Is such a thing as using up that vaguely defined thing called "reserve”, and when that Is gone the nerves of young children are likely to play all sorts of tricks. A greut deal of so-called misbeha vior Is a result of this very thing. Now I don’t know whether or not children are more nervous than of ycre, but heart symptoms do seem to be on the Increase, bodies seem to have leas endurance, and other signs of a letting down of the race are con splcuous. If It were not for Increased care and Intelligent handling of ba bies and young children unknown to cur forefathers, I don't know what would happen. Modern Life to Blame That it In due to less fresh air, re duced exercise and the general pell mell of existence, there can he no doubt. We need all the Intelligence and medical skill we can muster now to offset the artificial munner of pres cut-day living. But there Is something else we can do for the children that I believe to be the panacea for almost everything We can make them rest and see that they get the proper amount of sleep. There Is a tendency to be strict and methodical with a baby's care until he is 2 yeurs old or so, then t let doSvn. Perhups we watch the clock until he Is even 3 or 4, then perhaps there Is a younger bnby and wo get busy on him. The older chil dren are started right, we decide, and they can shift very well for them selves. They find themselves without schedule and take advantage of It us children will. Up all evening till the grownups go to bed. Even If they are In bed there may be too much noise In the house for them to sleep, \galn It may be a hlt-und-miss affair: In bed two nights at 7 or 8 and the next two up until dear-knows-when, depend ing on the convenience of the house hold. Arrange Sleeping Schedule A sleep schedule Is as Important for a child of 10 as It Is for a baby of 6 months. And nothing should In terfere. Evening excitement keeps a child either out of bed or away from sleep once he Is In. His room should be comfortable and airy, cool but not cold. Sleeping bugs made out of blankets ure tine things for children these cold winter nights. Some children cannot sleep In pitch darkness If you discover this to be the case see If a dim light can not be diverted from the hall or huthroom. Never leave a light on In the room. Sometimes a street light is enough. A school child should have all of ten hours of sleep each night and, if he tires easily, a short rest during the day. A younger child needs twelve hours of sleep at night and u midday nap. the exact amount de pending on his uge and state of be ing.

In Nila's desk he finds from her checkbook that she paid no rent to her landlord, .IL’DGE MAKKIIAI.L: that she deposited $10,000 since she came, indicating blackmail: and that she paid LYDIA $40 a week. After finding her will, hi un envelope sealed anil then reopened, he asks the maid why she did not tell him that It was Nila who burned her face so horribly. Lydia admits that Nila was trying to commit suicide with carbolic acid, on February 0. over a mail, and when Lydia tried to stop her. threw the acid In her face. i.ydla swears she did not hold a grudge. she tries to prove she loved Nlta, who made every effort to make up for the accident, by showing. Dundee presents she gave Nlta. One of these Is a huge hrouge lamp. T.bg, bulb Is broken, and Dundee thinks that the mur derer humped into It, fleeing to ward the buck hall. They arc in terrupted by the sound of a ir.tr und the ringing of the bell. NOW GO .-(ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXL "J-Iello, Dundee! Awfully glad I caught you before you left," a blithe, familiar voiced called as the detective opened the front door, "is poor Lydia1 still here?" "Come in. Air Allies." Dundee In vited, Jgtfrching with a puzzled frown the round, blond face of Tracey Milts. "Yes. Lydia is still here. Why?" "Then’ I'm in luck and I think Lydia is, too—poor old girl! You see, Dundee,” Miles began to explain ns he took off his new straw hat to mop his perspiring forehead, "tlie' cctAvd all ganged tip when our various ears reunited Sheridan road, and by unanimous vote we elected to drive over to the Country club for a meal la one of the small private dining rooms —to escape the iptestlons of the morbidly curious, you know—" "Yes.

"What about Lydia?” Dundee cut him short. “I'm getting to it, old boy," Miles protested, with the injured air of an unappreciated small hoy. "While we were waiting for our food, some body said, ‘Poor Lydia! What's go ing lo become of her?' And some body else said that it was harder on her—Nlta's death, 1 mean— than on anybody else, because Nila wav all pile had in the world and then Lois—lads is always practical, you know—ran away to telephone police headquarters to see what had been done with Lydia and to see if ic would be all right for Flora and me to take her home with us—" ".lust a minute. Miles! Whom did Mrs Dunlap talk to at headquar ters?" “Why, Captain Strawu. of course. He told Loin that you were .still out hero, questioning l.ydia again, that It wan all right with him, whatever you decided. So as soon as I had tlnislied eating. I drove over—" “Is .Mrs Miles with you?" Dun dee Interrupted again. “Well, no." Miles admitted tin comfortaldy. “you sec. tin: girls felt st little squeamish about com ing back even on an errand of mercy—” Dundee grinned. He had no doubt thsit Flora Miles had emphatically refused the possibility of another gruelling interview. “Why do you and Mrs Miles want to take Lydia home with you?” he asked. “To give her si home and a job," Miles unswered promptly. "She knows us, we're used to her poor old scarred face, and the young sters, Turn und Hetty, are not a bit afraid of her. In fact. Betty pats that scarred cheek and says, over and over. ‘I’oo Lyddy!

IJy the way. Miles, since you and your wife are kind enough to want to tuke Lydia in anil give her a home and a job, I think it only fair to tell nie that it is highly improbably that Lydia Carr will take any job at all.” ‘‘You mean—?” Miles gasped, his ruddy face turning pale. "1 say, Dundee, it’s absurd to think for a minute that good old faithful Lydia hud a thins to do with Nita's mur der—” ‘‘1 rather think you're right about tliat. Miles,” Dundee inter rupted. ‘‘Now will you excuse me?” He found Lydia where he had left her—in her dead mistress' bedroom. The tall, gaunt woman was crouch ing beside the chaise lounge, her arms outstretched to encircle a little pile of tiie gifts she claimed to have given Nitu Selim' to prove that she bore no grudge for the terrible injury her mistress had done her. At Dundee's entrance she flung up her head. Taking his seat on the chaise lounge, Dundee explained gently but briefly the offer which Tracey Miles had just made. "They want—me?” she gasped, brokenly, incredulously, and her fingers faltered to her horrible cheek. “I didn’t think anybody but my poor girl would have me around—” ‘‘It is true they want you,” Dun dee assured her. “But you don't have to take a Job now unless you wish. Lydia.” "What do you mean?” the muald demanded harshly, her good eye hardening with suspicion. a “Lydia,” the young detective be gan slowly, and almost pray ing that he was doing the right thing, "when I woke you up to-night to question you, f said that Nlta herself had just told me that it was she who had burned your face. And you asked me if she had also given you a message—” "Yes, sir!” the maid interrupted with pitiful eagerness. “And you’ll tell me now? You don’t still think i killed her. do yotl?” "No, 1 don’t think you killed your mist res.-', Lydia, but 1 think, if you would, you could help me find out who did,” Dundee ussurred her gravely. “No, wait!” and he drew from his pocket the envelope in scribed: "To be Opened in Case of My Death Jutnlta Leigh Sellnt.” "Do you recognize this handwrit ing Lydia?” ■'it was wrote l y her own hand," the maid answered, her voice husky with tears. “is that the message, sir?” "You never saw it before?" Dun dee asked sharply. “No, no! I didn’t know my poor gill was thinking about death,” Lydia moaned. "1 thought she was happy here. .She was tickled to pieces over being taken up by all them society people, and on the go day and night—” “Lydia, this is Mrs Selim’s last will and testament," Dundee inter rupted, withdrawing them. "It was written yesterday, and It begins: ‘Knowing that any of us may die any time and that I, Juanita Leigh Selim, have good cause to fear that my own life hangs by a thread that may break any min ute—‘ “What did my poor girl mean?" Lydia Carr cried out vehemently. “She wasn’t sick, ever—” "J think, Lydia, that she feared exactly what happened to-day— murder! And l want you to tell me who It was she feared. For 1 be lieve you know!" The woman shrank from him. For a Iona minute she did not at tempt to answer. "I—-don't—know,” she said dully. Then with vehement emphasis: "1 don't know! If 1 did, I’d kill him with my own hands!” Dundee had no chuice but to take her word. There was no use, either, In touturing this woman now with his earlier conviction: that N’lta Selim had lived in terror of Lydia Carr’s smoldering hatred for the Injury she hud done her. “l’ou said there was u message for me,” Lydia reminded him. "This is the 'message'." Dundee said quietly, lifting the sheets again: "‘X am herewith setting down my lust will and testament. In my own handwriting. I do here and now solemnly will and be queath to my faithful and beloved iiiiiUI. Lydia Carr, ull property. In eluding all moneys, stocks und per sonal belongings of which X die possessed'.” "To me?" I.ydla whispered. "To me?" "To you, Lydia." Dundee assured her gravely, wutchlng her intently. "Then I can have all her pretty clothes to keep always?” "And her money, to do as you like with, if the euurt accepts this will for prohats—as I think It will.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1931 One Day Of Grace Yesterday was the first day that the 1931 automobile markers could be legally displayed on all vehicles. Yet these registration plates have been obtainable at the motor vehicle de partment in Hartford or any of its branch of fices throughout the state since November. It occurs to us that the department is caused considerable rush by not allowing new mark ers to be used at least one month in advance of the day on which they go into effect.. We feel sure that more people would buy their markers at an earlier dale if they could only place them on their automobiles at the date of purchase. When they must wait until the last day of the year they naturally procrasti nate. We know that Commissioner Stoeckel has suggsted a change in this section of the motor statutes for some years, but our legislators have not heeded him in this respect. In past years local officials often took it upon them selves to issue proclamations in which they grantee} from one to three days of grace to motorists who had not secured new license plates. However, that permission can no longer be extended. There is but one day of grace and that is to allow early use of new plates, rather than to extend the period during which the old markers may be displayed. The law is final in this latter respect. Probably an effort will be made at the coming session of the legislature to change the existing statute ao that ntw markers can be used earlier in December than the 30th. Of course we don’t expect that a change such as we suggest would cause an immediate stampede to motor vehicle offices in October and November for new licenses, but it cer tainly would ease up the rush that comes in i the last 48 hours and which taxes the en i durance and efficiency of all department workers. It is up to the legislature to change the present situation, we think. Commis sioner Stoeckel knows better than the aver age motorist just how much leeway should be given in securing new plates and in display ing them. His word on the matter ought to i be final. Let the legislative committee *on i'lttotor vehicles approve a change this year. Happy New Year New Year’s day this year may seem to many folks a time for sad consideration of wiahes more drably practical than hopefully gay. “Happy New Year’’ if agricultural or commercial hard times are uppermost in one's mind may have a sound of hollow op timism. Yet pessimistic hard bargaining for better business cannot in itself work a mir acle. We must go forward with a certain soreness of heart. This is the soundest kind of gaiety. It holds with wisdom that better times will develop from careful reasoning and good will. A many page volume could be written on the times in the history of this world when active common sense optimism has pulled na tions and individuals through their appar ently blackest hours. This is not the mud dling policy, nor is it the dilatory practice of letting George do it. It means using our heads and our hearts simultaneously and actively. 1 There is no reason why 1931 should not end up by being a good average year for those who produce practical commodities. A scanning of the horizon is giving observers good ground for concluding that better “styling” of practical textiles such as cotton will prove a good commercial move. This should be good news for plantation farmers. The industries promoting cotton have big plans for 1931. Hundreds of mills through out the country will be using durened cotton in garments styled well enough to suit the most fastidious taste for beauty, yet these garments will not be beyond even the some what thin purses of a so-called depression period. This will be an excellent year for good housewives to invent new ways of making potatoes, and beets, corn and cabbage espe cially delectable to eat. In short, if every body would stop right this minute TALK ING hard times and make a New Year's res olution to make good old standby American products more attractive than ever before we should leap ahead several months in the re storation of BETTER DAYS. Getting The Robbers The epidemic of robberies taking place in many localities all over the country is some thing that should be taken quite seriously. A large element of young fellows have formed the idea that money can thus be obtained without work. Innumerable holdups, rob beries of stores, dwellings, filling stations, banks, etc, are taking place. The citizens of Keene, New Hampshire, had the right idea a few days ago when rewards totalling $3,000 were offered for the capture of two young men who held up six stores and killed the proprietor of one of them. Now if such a plan could be followed up all over the coun try. there would be some results. In the case of a large part of these rob berries, there must be some person who could supply information leading to the arrest of the guilty parties. Now if the one who wpplies that information could be sure of earning $1,000 or more,, the amount verymg according to circumstances, the needed in formation would come forward in a great many cases. Many more of these young mis creants would soon be landed in jaill for good long terms, and the rest of the crowd would' draw back from their dirty deeds, and conclude that the holdup business is not con ducive to health or long life. It is an outrageous thing to have all these crimes going on all the time, .without a more determined effort to stop them. This does not mean that it is a safe thing to commit such outrages. The people guilty of them may get away a few times. But if they keep on. and most of them do keep on. as they cannot break themselves of the habit, they might as well re sign their minds to spending most of their iives in jail. With generous rewards for the capture of these rascals, the game can be made so much more risky that it will not be so attractive. Big Bill Retire* To state that William J. Tilden. 2nd, has retired from the amateur tennis rank is to provoke a snicker from the nation’s sport lovers, "Big Bill” has been doing that for the past two or three years, but somehow or other it looks as if he meant it this time. A year ago he was definitely out of the picture, although he was creating quite a furore in European circles by his monotonous tourna ment triumphs. With a youthful American Davis Cup team about to engage the cham pion Frenchmen Tilden made one of his dramatic entries and captured the sole match that the Americans won in the matches. Tilden now deserts the courts to engage in making movies in which he will demon strate and explain the shots that made him a wizard on the courts. He follows thusly in the wake of Bobbie Jones, internationally known golfer. Jones deserted the amateur ranks at the height of his career, Tilden when he was definitely on the downward trend, al though it can’t be said that t'te man who was able to win the Wimbledon championships at the age of 37 is entirely out of the picture. Several times Tilden’s amateur standing was questioned by the tennis association au thorities, but upon each occasion the lanky Philadelphian was able to extricate himself and to plunge to the defense of the national title which he held seven times or to try to wrest the Davis Cup supremacy back from the same French players who won it from Tilden and Johnston back a few years. There is no question but what Tilden kept tennis on the front page. It wasn't a matter to be relegated simply to the sport pages when he entered a tournament. It might mean sen sational news. The sport will suffer by his departure, but we feel sure that the game will gain impetus if his movie instructions are spread through out the country. There is no single player who has encouraged the game and actually developed more young players than Tilden. Despite his eccentricities and his sudden bursts of temperament he was the supreme example of tennis style. The American ten nis world is losing Tilden. It may be with out the services of Johnny Doeg, our nation al champion. George Lott declares he must sacrifice time on the courts for business inter ests. Frank Shields, former Roxbury athlete, and runner-up to Doeg last September, has remarked on the high cost of tennis tourna ments and his need -of working. The out look for more Tildens who can devote the greater part of their lives to the mastery of the sport is dim. We hope the sport won’t suffer as a result. Thanks To Mr. Lucas Is it possible that Robert H. Lucas, execu tive director of the Republican National Com mittee, has unwittingly furnished an answer to the prayer for a third political party? Mr Lucas’ open efforts to get Senator George Norris out of the party after his secret efforts toward the same end were uncovered have emphasized the question of what constitutes a republican. Senator Norris and his broth ers in the “wild jackass" group think the voters should decide the issue. Mr Lucas and his stalwart supporters evidently think the re publican headquarters in Washington have that right. Public opinion on the subject is splintered all sorts of ways: It isn't likely that this latest breach in the g. o. p. ranks will heal itself, as other dis sensions have, before next eection day. It seems unthinkable that states whose repre sentatives have been bitterly denounced by the heads of their own party will instruct their delegates to the 1932 republican convention to vote for the regular republican candidate. Already, names of presidential candidates sponsored by the "third party’’ (presumably composed of progressive elements in both parties) are being suggested. Gifford Pin chot of Pennsylvania leads the list with Sen ator Borah of Idaho and young Bob La Follettc of Wisconsin in a tie for second place. Some democrats, like Senator Burton Wheeler of Montana, whose democracy is well salted with progressivism, are also re garded with favor. It is generally regretted that “Uncle George" Norris, as the Nebraska statesmen is affectionately termed, will be somewhat past the age of play and stellar role in a presidential campaign. At any rate, Mr Lucas’ maneuvers as executive director of the Republican National Committee have added a new interest to the year 1932. For this we thank him. "State police officers.” said Attorney Gen eral Joseph E. Warner of Massachusetts this week, "have no authority by virtue of the terms of the national prohibition act to en force its provisions, nor have state police officers, as such, any power of common law to arrest without a warrant for any violations of the national prohibition act, even such viola tions as were constituted felonies by the Jones act. Certain state magistrates may, however, if they choose, issue process for the apprehen sion of violators of any federal act, and state police officers have, of course, the powers de rived from such process.” But the point that the attorney gertral wants to drive home is that the duty of enforcing prohibition in Massachusetts now rests solely upon the shoulders of Unde Sam. Repeal of the state enforcement act which automatically went into effect early in December, just thirty days after voters of the Bay State had registered their disapproval of the state law, has re leased all state jnd local officials from en forcing the dry laws. It will be interesting to see what action federal authorities will now lake. Their first step will probably be to declare the ruling invalid. But the burden of the proof 11 on their shoulder*. In reelecting Frank S. Bcrgin of New Haven minority leader of the senate, the democrats acted wisely. The minority party should function just as well with Senator Bergin calling the signals as Princeton foot ball teams Jid when he was their quarter back. Tnere will be fifteen democrats in the senate in 1931, which will give their repub lican brethren a majority of five, but there is rood rea'on to Mieve that democratic sen ators will win more important committee positions than heretofore. Such veteran legis lators as Senator Lawlor of this city, Connor of Hartford, and Hackett of New Haven will be present to lend counsel to the party pro gram. which will be one of full cooperation with the plans of Governor-elect Cross. The 1931 legislature should be a history-creating one, just as the session ptomises to produce such important legislation concerning cities and the state in general. Mayor Maloney of Meriden is going to do away with wood block pavements ip his city in 1931. New asphalt surfaces will replace the wooden ones, if the chief executive can carry through his program. Also elimination of trolley tracks on many streets leading to the center of the town is advocated. We can agree with the mayor that wooden block pavements are not as satisfactory as asphalt or other hard surfaces. Waterbury has tried them, but is gradually replacing them for something that won’t hold rain water in sum mer and ice and snow in winter. Just 44 years ago the Newburgh, N. Y., Wheel aen’s Club was organized. The bi cycle was a novelty in those days, but rapidly became popular and the membership of the club increased. To-day its remaining mem bers, including one charter member, decided to disband, inasmuch as they believe that the bicycle will never again be a popular means of locomotion. Probably not among older people, unless they visit Bermuda, but the youngsters still should enjoy these two wheeled vehicles. The Wickersham commission riddle has supplanted the crossword puzzle as the na tional pastime. You can’t judge a man by the company he invites, but by the company that comes. All vehicles must be lighted not later than 5.03 to-night. I

A news item last summer told of the rescue of a victim from I lie surf and the resuscitation ef forts of the life guards who had rescued him. While they were carrying on artificial respira tion in the proper way (except for the hand un der the head) an ambulance arrived, and In it an Inhalator. The ambulance doctor wished to apply the Inhalator. But the heroic, excited and shall we say rather bumptious life guards waved the mere doctor aside. They did not purpose to have any such machine used on the victim. They Informed the doctor that Ills inhalator thing was dangerous. And so the victim died. J no guards were TaKen 10 inc ponce station, presumably for "questioning." Probably they were not very severely disciplined for their offi cious conduct. The news Item ended with the taking of the life guards to the police station. There was no subsequent news. Maybe the life guards were shot at sunrise; or maybe they were given a banquet or u memorial of some kind by tho reporters who work up human Interest stories. How did these life guards get that way? How do certain firemen get their reputations as demon life savers? What makes so many Boy Scout Instructors and ited Cross first aid touchers so cocksure of themselves and so naive in explain ing to a mere doctor how these llttletricks should be done? I have received a fine collection of amusing letters from Just such folk, who tell me, ns though I were a supplicant for knowledge, just how and why they do thus and so in tho resus citation work. I am afraid a good many doctors are In a position that compels them to submit to such patronizing by the dilettantes who are so complacent and so cocksure. The life guards who prevented the atnbulanee doctor from administering the oxygen-carbon dioxide had probably heard that lung-motors, pulmotors and similar machines are dangerous —they are in fact dangerous. They meant well, hut the grievous offense they committed was simply pwrcHiimptlon; they readily opposed their own amateurish knowledge to the professional or expert knowledge of a doctor. That is quite characteristic of the general state of things In this country to-day. We have so many dllettuntes assuming tho functions of doctors and health authorities, tlint it Is only natural some of them should begin to believe they know just as much as a common, ordinary doc tor does and probably more than many. Policemen have a similar streak of conceit in them, especially when they have had six easy lessons in resuscitation or first aid. Something should be done to knock I he con ceint out of all these amateurs who get swelled head. The victim who died while the life guards held off the doctor and ills life-saving inhala tion did not die in vain, let us hope. Maybe his sacrifice will he a great lesson to other first aid workers who happen to have a little knowledge. orrcrioxs ami ankwi.hk Tlic l.lttlc Tin lloctor at Work I took my niece to a clinic. They gave her a T. II. test anil It showed positive. Docs that mean she must grow up and have the dlsouse? The nurse didn't expluin it—she just told me it was nothing to he alarmed about and gave me u diet (Mrs It. II. K.) Answer.—That is the way they do things in "clinics.” Such rockets are the disgruce of med icine in America. They may be good enough for the lower classes in 10urope, but here In a coun try that is free it Is a sad thing to tolerate them at all. No nurse is competent to advise anyone whether a tuberculin test is significant or not. Kxeept In these humbug "clinics'’ and In factor ies uml oilier Industrial jilaces where the work ers are icgarded as so milch material, nurses are not capable of prescribing diets or treatment or doing minor surgery. Another place where the little tin doctor is foisted on the poor people j who dare not protest is in our comical public school health inspection scheme—there tlie nurse who takes the Job roust, wily-nlly, make a pre lense at rendering services which only a physi cian can render.

At The National Capitoh DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER A Digest of Who’s Who and What’s What Hy RODNEY DUTCHER i -L Washington—The five-day work ing week as a partial solution of un employment, proposed hy Senator Watson of Indiana, Democratic Chairman ltaskob und many others, is unllkPly to be endorsed by the administration. In fact, the federal employes In Washington haven't even, been able to wrangle a flve-and-ahalf-day week out of their superiors, despite the fact that the law uppears to grant them a Saturday half-holiday. Hardly anyone has been propos ing that the government undertake to pass laws for a five-day week in private Industry, but it has been widely proposed that both the na tional government and various states and municipal government stimulate the practice by leading the way. Uncle Sam, however, proves very cautious about giving his workers any more leisure. When President Hoover Issued an executive order al lowing government workers the aft ernoon off on the Wednesday before PAUL llEVKKE’S DI11T1I _ On Jan. 1. 1735, Paul Revere, lamed American patriot, was born In Boston, Mass. He learned from bis lather the trude of goldsmith and soon became skillful ns an engraver on silverware. He engraved the plutes and printed the paper money ordered In 1775 by the provincial congress and In the same year established a powder mill In Boston. Revere took an active interest In the disputes with the English. He participated in the Tea Party nnd carried the news of it to New York and Philadelphia. On April 18-1 9, 1 775, at the re quest of Joseph Warren. Revere made his memorable midnight ride to Lexington to warn Hancock nnd Hu mu el Adams of the approach of English troops. Then, passing on to wards Concord to wnrn the people there, he was captured by a party of British soldiers, and was brought back to Lexington, where he was re leuscd the next day. Tills ride was the theme of Longfellow's celebrat ed poe, "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.” Christmas he carefully added the warning: "This order Is not deemed' as establishing a precedent.” Neck Half Holiday Uut It seems reasonable to sup pose that there will be a flve-und-a hall'-day week for government work ers before there Is any live-day week, so some general Interest at taches to measures introduced by Senator Wesley Jones of Washing ton and Senator Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee. Jones would give all federal employes Saturday afternoon off beginning at 1 o’clock. McKellar, holding that employes of the federal departments here ap pear to have been Illegally employ ed on Saturday afternoons for neur ly 80 years, hus a resolution direct ing heads of departments and other federal establishments to expluin why they have been keeping their forces at work. J’ostul employes will benefit from a bill, passed by the house and ex pected soon to be passed by the senate, granting them a 44-hour week. The postal employe unions suy that this law will mean employ ment for several thousand additional persons. Mont federal employes here, how ever, work a seven-hour day, from a. m. to 4:30, with half an hour for lunch. If they got off Saturday at noon, they would have a 38-hour week. Once Had Six-Hour Hay Once upon a time the government clerks worked only six hours a duy und there Is no record that they complained of long hours. Congress decided, however, that six hours wasn’t enough and in 1 898 passed a law requiring them all to work seven hours a day except Sundays and duys declared public holidays by law or executive order. Three years later congress appears to have thought It might have been hard-hearted and so suld Saturday afternoons should be included among the District of Columbia's statutory holidays. President Roosevelt thought giv ing the clerks a Saturday half-holi day was too generous and held that Saturday afternoon was only a holi day as It concerned negotiable paper —the payment of notes and similar transactions. Amended Raw Then congress amended the law to declare that Saturday afternoons and other holidays wero holidays "for all purposes.” It was stipulat ed that when department heads WOBTIONS m Pre-school, education for 'children Is uit ftxquse. for mothers. to go out and play contruet bridge.—Mrs. Vir ginia White Speel, republican com initteewomun.

No one has been able to find any order, general or special, to account for tills seeming defiance by the executive brunch of government of what was the origi nal intent of the legislative brunch. The Federal Liar Association made a long .exhaustive and futile search for such an order. It submitted a brief to the president last summer expressing tho opinion that the Sat urday hnlf-holiduy here was manda tory on the government. But there is no promise that any thing will be done until Congress acts again and meanwhile the gov ernment clerks will continue to feel that they are being gyped. row RUT TJTCD I ItON POUTS Buffalo.

Whole World Aiming Threats At Present Costly Depression For the Economic Blow That Has Hit the United States Has Permeated to Every Section of Entire Globe Strenuous Efforts Are Be* ing Made Everywhere Toward Rehabilitation— Budgets Pared Down, Much Speed in Relief of Unemployment and Fi* nances Are Being Put in /Order BY KUIKlt C, WU.ZIllt. (United Press Pliiniielul Editor.) New York. Jan 1.—(UP)—Econ omic depression which ruled Amer ica throughout 1930 has attained world-wide scope, oven Including France, unscathed until September, Swlteerlund, Holland and the Scan dinavian countries, a United Press survey oC all countries revealed to day. As the New Year begun efforts were reported under way in all coun tries towurd hehubilitutlon. Budgets have been pared down; efforts have been made to relieve unemployment: flnancs are being plucd In order. A slow, irregular return to normal Is looked for, beginning sometime this year. Throughout the world tho effects of tho depression huvo been tho lum*. Securities have bun de pressed on slock exchange; commod ity pries have been forced to new lows for muny years; trade bulances have been reversed to deficits; many hanks have failed; the trend has been toward radicalism In politics. Sweden was a notable exception so far as its finunclal status was concerned. It held the position ns the strongest financial power in northern Europe. Russia, In process of overturning Its economic system and trying out a communistic plun stodo out In that it had no unemployment problem. Eugene Lyons, United Press staff correspondent In Moscow, reported thero were more jobs than work ers. Revolutions were prevalent In South American countries where commodity price depression wrought havoc. These revolts resulted In replacing of old with stable, new governments which were subse quently recognized by the United States.

Eng land lost gold heavily to France and Germany until the reserve wavered around the £150,000,001) mark, the safety minimum set by the Cunllffe committee. France managed to evade the de pression until autumn, when con fidence wus shaken by failure, of more tliun a dozen banks and brok et ago houses. I'rlco movements In the Itnul months of the year showed a steady decline; foreign trade de clined; iron and steel production slipped off and all other lines fol lowed. Tourist trude brought mucht lighter returns than in 1030. Germany experienced Its greatest depression In the latter half of the year after the elections which brought many radicals Into the ltclchstag. The country found it dllll cult to fulse capital due to the un settled political condition. The itelchsbunk position was considered sound, however, but prevailing high interest rates were believed a factor in keeping down business recovery. Unemployment uttalncd an unpre cedented totul in the autumn and this wus expected to approach a higher mark as the winter progress ed. ituly also experienced increasing unemployment, liankruptcies reach ed the post-war figures. Itullroud trattle declined 30 per cent, as com pared with 11)30. Slock exchange val ues dropped. Stability of the lira v.afi a feature, and the general status of the country's credit was round. To eliminate the depression the gov ernment hus set out on a campaign of reducing salaries, beginning with government otllcials, and of cutting retail prices throughout the country. Holland suffered from declines in commodities produced by Its colonies —rubber and sugar—both of which made new record lows. Tobacco en terprises ulso suffered, but the tea business held up fairly well. Pros pects for the present year are still uncertain, although efforts are be ing made to relieve the difficulties. The South American political and economic difficulties are directly traceable to declines In commodities, such us coffee,” metals, grain, wool, petroleum, meats, nitrates, linseed, cocoa und cotton. Countries which survived the depression best are Venezuela Which Is without foreign debt; Columbia with the highest gold reserves in South America; Argen tine with a wide variety of exports; Chile with adequate gold reserves; and Uruguuy with high gold reserves and high per capita wealth. Countries of South America most severely hit by the depression were Peru, dependent on copper, petro leum and cotton production, all of which are selling below cost of pro duction; Bolivia affected by tbe de cline In tin prices; Brazil demoraliz ed by the lowest coffee prices In his tory; and Ecuador affected by low cocou prices and a blight on Its crops.

It seemed that all roads led to the Strand and Palace Inst night. Even before the doors opened throngs and throngs of merry makers lined up East Main street which resembled a bread line In de pressed Russia. At the Strand, Miss Julia Smith entertained a capacity and appreci ative audience with a vaudeville program which furnished laugli after laugh, in addition to a well balanced all-talkie program. An abundance of noice makers, stream ers, confetti and balloons were dis tributed which nhled greatly in making the evening the success it was. Manager Llnwood Curtis of the Palace theater presented a most en joyable program which brought laugh and merriment to the, gloom iest persons in the audience. All in all, Waterburlans who at tended the midnight shows ut these entertainment houses went home well satisfied that their New Year's eve program of 1930 was well spent. WILL SPEED OVER 250 MILES AN HOUR IN RACER Capt Malcomb Campbell Ex pects to Do That in His Latest Thrill Machine, the “Blue Bird” BY KEITII JONES (I'nlted I'ross Staff Correspondent) London, Jan 1—(UP)—Over 250 miles an hour is expected from Captain Malcom Campbell's new, “Blue Bird” racer with which lie hopes soon to raise tiio present land speed record of 231.44 7 miles an hour set by the late Sir Henry Ne grnve at Dultona Beach In M20. With tlie lifting or the secrecy which has surrounded the cur during the six months of its construction, the new Blue Bird is revealed us more than half again as powerful as Sir Henry Segravo's Golden Ar row, being equipped with a single Napier Lion engine developing ap proximately 1400 horse power ns compared with the 000 horse pow er developed by Sir Henry's machine. The Blue Bird weighs 5000 pounds and is 25 1-2 feet long. The differen tial and buck axle gearing is off set so that the driver can sit nlnn*> side the. propeller Mhnft. Ttte gearbox is of the constant mesh variety, and has three forward speeds and re verse. The tires have been tested up to 300 miles an hour on so-called “Bench tests" bul it is understood Captain Campbell is somewhat con cerned that under the rule governing attempts on the record one run In each direction must lie completed within half-un-hour. Kaye Don and Kegrave both made a point of changing tires between caett run as a precautionary meas ure. Owing to the wheel construc tion of the Blue Bird, Cuplain Camp bell Is doubtful If It will be possible to change all four tires and com plete the two runs within the half hour time limit. Unless the rule is wuived in his ease, lie will, he says, make both runs without tire changes, although It is believed this will add materially to the risk of the tires bursting through wearugc. Although called the "New'' Blue Bird, little more tliun the frame of tile Blue Bird II which exceeded 212 miles an hour on Verncult pan in South Africa, Is utilized iu the pres ent machine. Mechanically speaking, the engine is probably the most interesting part of the machine since tills latest 12 cylinder Napier engine has the same bore stroke us the Napier engine used ill the first Blue Bird raced on Pendino Sands |n 11127, yet develops over twice the horse-power of the 11127 engine. This has been accom plished by super-charging, higher compression and lighter working parts. The 11127 Napier developed (100 horse-power at Its maximum of 2,10(1 revolutions per minute. Tlio present engine develops 1,400 horse power at 3,500 revolutions per min ute. Although Captain Campbell lias so far not made uny prediction us to the estimated speed of the Blue Bird, it is known he confidently expects to exceed 250 miles an hour.

State Farmers Given Good Break Buckingham, Agriculture Commissioner, Reviews Past Year—Steady Dairy Income Hartford, Jan I.—"Agriculture' Hriswold Drive, West Hartford and does not stand still. It Is always In a condition of progress, transition or decay, depending upon the farm ers themselves to determine which it shall be," declares H. McLean Buckingham, state commissioner of agriculture in his year-end summary of the agricultural situation. "The past year has added to our fund of knowledge regarding the working of economic laws, in at least two commodities we have learned that a large crop can return the farmer less than a smaller one and would indicate that instead of a bumper crop bringing the farmer a reward it is morj apt to exact a penally. "Perhaps llie federal farm hoard's contention, that some control over production Is advisable, deserves some consideration. Perhaps there is also a possibility that our present system of marketing farm products could be Improved upon. I'nrincrs Have Itesponsibilit.r "The condition of agriculture of to-morrow will lie determined by the farmers of to-day. While llie part that you or I can play singly in stnblllz*ig agriculture is negligible our collective efforts will determine whether agriculture is to play a ma jor or minor part in the future his tory of our stale, and nation. It is no time to become apathetic, for apathy lyceds discouragement and induces Inaction. "The world to-day is facing one of the most, serious depressions it has ever known. The condition of agri culture is one of the factors in that depression and history teaches us that agriculture lias played an im portant pari in tlie rise and fall of many nations. From a. purely selfish viewpoint the stabilisation of agriculture will help each individu al farmer, and at the same time it can materially assist in the stabili sation of general business condi tions. Prop Summary wiiii*: mu punL ji’«n hub n*»v too kind lo agriculture, still Connec ticut funnels huve not fared badly when their returns are compared with general business conditions and those faced by farmers in some other sections of the country. Con necticut farm crops are estimated to have a value this year of $29,918,000 as compared with the farm vuluc of $21.201.000 in 1929. This represents a difference of $1,282,000, most of which Is accounted for by the com paratively high returns received for tobacco last year. ‘•yields this year were In many cases greater than in 1989 blit the turn was lower per unit. This made tlie total value of several crops somewhat less than that received for a smaller crop last season. "The returns to the poultry indus try were only fairly satisfactory lor the first six months of the year but since that time egg prices have sagged well below the average prices of the last live years. In December eggs reached the lowest price for that month in tho lust eleven years, being twenty cents a dozen less than the last live-year average. While the teturns per bird will be well below that of last year, the total return to the poultry industry will probably approximate that of 1929 as the flocks of the state showed approx imately a ten per cent Increase on November 1, 1929 over the previous year. Dairy Income Steady uanymeu nave wen ui:uih greater surpluses this year than last but the fluid price held steady until Decebmer 16th when a drop of one cent per quart became effective. In creased production and the reduced purchasing power of the consumer accounts for the large amount of milk having to be sold at surplus price. “Indications are that the dairy men of the state received a slightly less gross return for -their product but a net return comparable to 1929. drain and labor costs have been lower thun those of last year and the dairy farmer who has had to buy replacements for his herd lias done so more cheaply than in 1929 an the price of cows bus dropped materially during the past yeur. “The tobacco crop of 1930 in spite of another bad hail storm was some what above the average of the last live years in acres harvested, yield per acre and quality. The produc tion this year Is estimated at 32. 106.000 pounds as compared with 28.496.000 pounds in 1929. The total value of this crop is estimated at 312,000,000 which Is less than the vulue of last year's crop but greater than the live-year average. Broad leaf continues to be the most popu lar type of tobacco grown In Con necticut with a production estimated at 17,481.000 pounds. Havana need follows with 8,360,000 pounds and Shade with 6.264.000 pounds. "Potato production showed a ma terial increase this year as com pared with last season but the total Value of the crop decreased more tliu.li $200,000. 'I'lic toliil production iif potatoes is estimated ut 2,860,000 bushels as compared with 1,182,000 bushels in 1020. With lower farm prices ip evidence this season the total value amounts to $2,000,000 as compared with $3,278,000 last year. "The total production of apples is Placed at about 2,000,000 bushels for 1030 as compared with somethin*; less than 1,000,000 bushels harvest ed last year. The. commercial apple crop is placed at 310,000 barrels as compared with 1 88,000 barrels In 1 020. However, with the much greater crop this year the total value is estimated at $1,742,000 or slightly below last yeur’s value of $1,782,000. "The prospects for Connecticut agrclulturc In 1031 are not too bright hut tills very fact should fur nish the incentive for action. .May we have the courage, judgment anil vision to use the year 1031 for the purpose of developing a program for the Improvement and stabiliza tion of Connecticut agriculture.

LOCAL CIVIC AND INDUSTRIAL LEADERS SEE GOOD TIMES COMING IN NEW YEAR; RADIATE CONFIDENCE “We Hit Bottom Two Months Ago,” Says John Goss Mayor Hayes Finds Business Approaching Point of Stability—Controller Leary Visions Normal Plane By Fall at Latest—Reed Visions Brighter Outlook for 1931 A buoyant spirit of optimism for the year 1931 is rcllcctcd in the pithy and concise answers to the question. "What do you anticipate in tegard to a business incline for the coming year?" Almost without exception, leaders in local manufacturing, banking and merchandising circl all express hopes for a "gradual incline" and normal adjustment for the year which starts tomorrow. Mayor Frank Hayes, who has handled the reins of the city govern ment for one year and has exercised economy to its highest point in an endeavor to cut operating expenses also is quite optimistic in his estimate for 1931. "We are undbubtedly on the incline towards a normal business stability which is a gpal we must reach to gain as the first step in read justment,” he stated. Controller Daniel .1. Deary, whose business connection Is secretary and treasurer of the Diamond Bottling Works, shows a fine spirit of optim ism. ‘‘There Is no question In my mind,” he said In hls characteristic manner, "that business is climbing. 1 look for It to reach Its normal course about next October," he ex claimed. .John C.

Mr Selple further stated that "attempts at governmental regula tion of fee-charging agencies have failed and that therefore the gov- ernment must go further and pro vide an adequate system of public employment offices, largely under local direction but with national co operation." How those opposed to social in surance find reasons for what they want to believe was brought out by f. M. Hublnow of Cincinnati, well known authority on social legisla tion. Whereas the basic motive of opposition to workmen’s accident compensation and unemployment Insurance, he said, has been a fear of lessened profits, this Is usually disguised with such slogans as "It is better to prevent accidents than to cornpenw.te for them" and "Amer ican workmen want Jobs, not doles. Frequently, he added, special group interests have opposed social legis lation that later In practice has been found advantageous to them. "As a result of this confusion of group interests and thinly disguised rationalisation." Dr Kubinow con cluded. "even those large groups on whose behalf legislation Is udvocated become confused and timid. Hence the necessity of disinterested groups who may study the problem from the general welfure viewpoint and devise social mechumsms without economic Idas.” John A.

HTOWLAND-HiJGRES COPPER BRASS Fundamental Economies A general business depression invariably brings as a reaction, a period of fundamental economy which marks the turn of the cycle towards higher and more substantial levels. A period when expenditures are closely scruti nized for the fullest value of the dollar and buying is on a quality rather than on a price basis. Present building specifications reflect this trend of economy in that more durable mate rials are going into the construction of com mercial buildings as well as homes. Materials that will last the life of the building; that will save their additional first cost many times over by making the building cost less to maintain, less to live in. A larger percentage of Copper, Brass and Bronze is being used in present building con struction than ever before. People have learned the fundamental economy of using these metals that cannot rust, that entirely eliminate the expensive repairs and replace ments caused by rust.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK IS

Indications Are That Turning Point Has Been Reached Normal, Says Allard Smith, Noted As BRIGHTER AS 1931 DAWNS' f m p m m m mm* And That Conditions Soon Will Begin Gradual Advance Toward Expert, Who Sums Up Depression Year Of 1930 EDITOR’S NOTE: Allard Smith, vvlio prepared tills article especial ly fur NEA Service and tlie Demo crat la one of the nation’s lead I tilt business experts. He Is execu tive vke president of tlie Union 't rust company of Cleveland, for mer manager of tlie Olilo Belt Tclcplwnc company and former president of the Cleveland Cliam tier of Commerce. BY ALEARD SMITH (Executive Vice President, The 1 Union Trust Co, Cleveland, Olilo.) (Written for NEA Service) Nineteen hundred and thirty was 'a year of economic shocks and dls appointments. It brought sweeping 'declines In commodity prices, In the llnunciul markets, In Industrial ac ‘tivlty and In employment—In short, a major depression, from which the country had come to believe Itself immune. From the peak In 1929 general business has declined approximately 35 per cent and the depression takes rank as one of the most severe In half a century. Not one cause, but many complex and culminating influences were re sponsible. Some of the most impor tant of these adverse forces which were world-wide In their scope and In their effects were os follows: 1. The increase of output of cotton, wheat, copper, sugar, oil and other basic commodities as well us many industrial products be yond the ability of the world's' power to purchase. 2. The failure of various plans for the artificial stabilization of commodity prices such as for copper, coffee and others. 3. The decline In the price of silver to the lowest level In the re corded history*of man. 4. The wild lllng of speculation chiefly In American securities culminating in 1929 which In flated values, lured millions \>f people Into the chase of "easy" wealth and dislocated the world's credit structure. It Is not easy to distinguish be tween cause and effect for most of these udverse. factors. Nor Is It pos sible to determine which was of most importance In the final bal ance. Vndcr-Consmiipllon and Over-Production Illumed Vorces making for under-con sumption have been equuly out standing with those making for oVer-productlon. One 'great development causing reduced consumption of the world’s goods was the collapse of silver. 'When this hnpponed, lnrgely due to the recent adoption of the gold monetary standard by India, thefo wfs a great reduction In the buy lng power of about 25 per cent of the world'H population as represent ed by China and other populous countries where silver Is a standard of exchange. Psychological factor* also have played a part In creating over confidence and unreasonable op timism at the crest of the boom, followed by unfounded fear* at thq bottom. In recent week* the financial market* have been dem onstrating the latter, Just a* In the suihmer of 1(29 they gave way to the former. In considering the events of the past year, It is Important to recall that since the beginning of the 19th century there have been 13 great crises in this country In the follow ing years: 1818, 1825. 1837, 1847, 1857, 1873, 1884, 1893, 1903, 1914, 1921 and 1930. 3B of Our 142 Years Ilave Seen Depression Of our 142 years us a nation, approximately 35 have been years of depression. Curiously enough, civilization has not learned how to avoid these cycles, but the experience of the past does show many things which it Is profitable to recall. We know that roughly about every 10 years there ure recurring economla upheavals, which are world-wldo In their con sequences. But the periods of de cline and acute depression are much shorter than the periods of con valescence, recovery and prosperity. The cycles from peak to peak average 39 months In duration, with 16 months of decline and 28 months of Recovery. The present decline has persisted for about 16 months. (living Standards Improve After Each Depression Another lesson of past depressions is that times of economic stress, while they bring wide suffering and distress, also have a chastening ef fect. They compel men to face real ities. They encourage tho payment of debts, recklessly accumulated In flush times. They stlmulato savings. They Influence the Increase In In dividual and Industrial efficiency, thus laying tho foundation for healthy and certain recovery. Moreover, past depressions reveal that notwithstanding tho swings of tho business cycle the material well being of man has steadily climbed, especially in America. After each depression the level of living stand ards of the masses of people In this country has advanced to a higher planer than that prevailing before. From 1890 to 1926, real wages of the American people—that Is to say, the amount of goods '"and satisfactions they could command out of their earnings —had increased by 55 per cent. Buying Power In U.

Muring the lust 25 years wages In many great Industries, such as steel nad building, advanced by about 125 per cent, fur overleaping the rlso of prices. The great problem confronting the nation at this moment Is the preservation of the public buying power. For this reason it Is an Im portant factor In the outlook' that employers In many industries have maintained a policy of holding wages at unreduced levels. This should operate as a stimulant to re covery when the tide of business turns because It Is a major protec tion for national purchasing power. But buying power Is being re couped In another wny. This Is through the decline of commodity prices which means that the dol lar's value In exchange for goods Is greater. Wliolcsalc Prices Now Lowest in 10 Years ■Wholesale prices have dropped about 20 per cent since 1920. They are now at the lowest, point In a de cade. Many commodities, Including wheat, have not been so low In a generation. The decline of retail prices, of about 10 per cent in a year, has been less swift, as usual, than that of wholesale values.

Stocks Shrank 40 Per Cent After Crash The decline In commodity values hus had its counterpart on the se curity markets. The greatest bull market in Htocks of ull time culm inated in 1929. At the peak of this market In September of that year the total value of stocks listed on the Now York Stock lixchango was $89,008,000,000. At the beginning of December, 1930, the valuo of these stocks was $53,311,000,000, a shrinkage of 40 per cent. Also at tho peak In 1929 stock brokers were borrowing $8,549,000, 000 with which to carry the stocks for people who had purchased them on margin. These loans are now ahout $2,000,000,000, tho lowest ever recorded. The Dow-Joncs average of 30 In dustrial common stocks was at 383 nt its most optimistic point In 1929. Then there wag a rush of buyer*, so anxious to get the Block that they were borrowing money at from 10 to 20 per cent. On December 1C, 1930, the Dow Jones average had sunk below 160. and buyers were wary, although money was lending at two per cent. Thus the stock market has de flated for many stocks swinging as fur below Intrinsic worth as they swung ubovo It before. In the face of this terrific torrent of deflation it Is a^great tribute to the basic soundness of American finance that there have been so few failures of Importance. The banking system of America Is sound. Likewise Industry is In a strong financial position. These facts are In striking and encouraging contrast with disastrous conditions which seemed to prevail In 1893, 1901 and 1921. To go no further back than 1921, many of our great corporations were suddenly caught with heavy unsale able inventories and littlo cash. Financial embarrassments abounded. To-day Inventories arc not heavy for most companies while their cash re sources aro large. One of Industry's strongest points Ihls year is that it has kept pro duction at the level of consumption or, in many cases, below it. America's population is about 124,000,000, and of this number no large proportion have undergone tiny Important change In their con sumption and use of goods. This Is Indicated by the fact that while some lines of Industry have curtailed ac tivities greatly, business as a whole Is at about 80 per cent of normal. This rato of activity Is required to provide for the needs of the popula tion. Depressed conditions abroad have cut down exports. Deferred Uejilm'ements Must Come Soon Home lines of production have fallen far below the level of con sumption. The result is that goods are being used up and worn out at a faster rate than they are being produced. Jteplucements are being deferred as long as possible, caus ing an accumulated demand which sooher or later must stimulate re covery. At the same time debts are being paid off and savings built up. Pur chasing power reserves are mount ing. Among the great barometric in dustries where production Is ab normally low, are steel and automo biles. As these Industries go, so goes general business. in 1930 the output of steel in gots declined to 40,000,000 tons, compared with 54,000,000 tons In 1929. This was a drop of 27 per cent and It compared with a decline of 52 per cent in 1921 compared with 1 920. Tlie average output for the last 10 years was 4 1.000,000 tons. Marly in December the production of steel Ingots dropped to a level which If continued for a full year would mean an output of about 25, 000,000 tons. This was so far below the Indicated normal requirements of the country that recovery seems probable soon. In December the output of steel was below 40 per cent of capacity, and whenever this has happened In the past It has signalled revival. Steel Is recognized as a reliable measure of living standards and sleel production In 1930 was about 700 pounds per capita compared with 400 In 1921. This indicates that generally sponging people have been belter off in this depression than In the last previous one. Many Autos Must Soon lie Unplaced Automobile production bears out this conclusion. In 1930 it totaled about 3,500,000. or double t tie num ber turned out In 1921. It is upon the automobile indus try that the attention of I be business world is now focused for signs of recovery. Tills trade Is responsive to tho buying ability and moods of the public. Its power to stimulate or retard other Industries Is great. Just now the motor car com panies ore producing at an an nual rate or about 1,600,000 pas senger ears and trucks. If this rate were to be maintained it would provide liu- about one-half the esti mated replacement demand of over 3.1)00.000 cars annually, to say noth ing of new buying. In 1923 the Industry’s production reached 4,000,000 ears for tho first time In history. This was seven years ago, or the average life of a ear. Most of tho 1923 vintage is ready for replacement. In 1930 production has declined more rapidly than registrations nnd In the Inst few months more ears were registered than were made. Stocks of used nnd new ears are re duced. A great deferred demand ex ists for automobiles. Many people are asking what will lift business out of the present de pression. In 1921 It was the building boom growing out of tho war shortage of housing. Moreover, the great ex pansion In the automobile Industry was at hand. Hut at the bottom of things in 1921 few visualized l lie constructive forces even then at work. Many New Products To Aid Industry Such forces are at work to-day. America is not only accumulating a demand for many ordinary neces saries and comforts of life, but there are 1300 laboratories in the country engaged In developing new products and now processes. More patents have bene applied for in this coun try than In any other year in history. Industry, moreover, is adjusting itself to new conditions nnd lower price levels. Hut other means than Wage cuts industry is devoting ils genius to the discovery of more e Ml dent methods of production. Unemployment is a serious factor in the current situation, but many plans have been made for allevl&tinv this condition through public-spirit' ed efforts and the projection of pub lic works. Of the approximately 45,000,000 people normally employed at wages and salaries in this country the major portion are working full or, part time. Those Who Can Huy Anil Won't, Hlaincd Those who are enjoying un interrupted incomes, but are re fraining from normal purchases through fear of the future, are contributing to tho postpone ment of recovery. Disturbed economic conditions are world-wide. America, was one of the last to feel the depression and the rest of the worl dls looking to Amer ican enterprise to lead the way out. Summing up, it may ho said that business enters 1931 with these fa vorable factors for the outlook: J. With over 111 months of trade decline behind 11s, tho depression has already persisted for tho aver age duration of major crises. 3. Production during the past year has been below consumption In many important lines, resulting In low inventories and largo deferred demands. 3. Prices of commodities have been drastically deflated and some stability and greater steadiness are now appearing. 4. Speculative excesses have ceas ed and people now are fnelng real ities, working harder, saving more and building op buying power. 5. The eredlt situation, which was strained one year ago, Is once more healt hv. While there continues consider* able disturbing tension In certain foreign countries, the world slfua lion as n whole Is far less dark than it appeared in 15‘J I, when recovery not under way. __ (Gradual Improvement Is Seen for 1031. America, has come thnnlgh many previous depressions. During each of such periods the foundations were laid for recovery which lifted business to a higher decree of pros perity and living standards to bet ter levels. There 1st every reason to believe similar constructive forces are at work now. One of the evidences of the turn after n depression Is when general sentiment is at Its lowest ebh. Re vival starts when It is least sus pected. There are many Indications that business has been in the turn ing stage during tlio closing weeks of mso. Tlte prospects for l!)3l are tl>at business recovery shortly will be come mure definitely apparent and that tile course of trade will lie one of gradual advance toward normal times during the year. TORRINGTON Rabbit Hunter Is Taken On Complaint Charged With Disturbance at jQrill—rWarden Trails Man —Wall Succeeds Roraback as Prosecutor Two men were urrulgned before Judge George K. Humrrmnn in the city court yesterday morning. Afred ('olontonl, 41 Laurel Hill, being ar raigned for hunting rabbits during tiro closed season, and Marlin Far kJs, 79 French street, answering• to a charge of lntoxleutlon. It was al leged that Farkos with an ux In Ills hand, created a disturbance at the Torrlngton grill, jl Litchfield Htrect lunch room Tuesday evening. Jieputy Game Warden Louis Cottier, who arrested Colontonl, dis played his ublllty as a trucker in per forming his duty In rounding up the rubblt hunter. While riding on the floshen road Tuesday morning, Warden Cottier noticed a car on the Clark Weed Hill, and fresh trucks pointed through the meadow and woods in the direction of John Hrown’s birth place. Following the tracks, Warden Cot tier finally came to a meadow where a number of young pine trees had been plunted, and over the tops of tlxe young trees he could see two men. Creeping up on them he saw they were standing over a rabbit hole into which u ferret had been released. The ferret emerged from 1he hole, but no rabbit appeared. One of the men started to put the ferret into a bag, and at this point, War den Cottier jumped from Ills hiding place and told the two that they wore under arrest. Both started to run, nnci uio war den drew hie revolver and tired ft Mhot into tho air. Colontonl stopped In his trucks. but his nompanlon kept running and escaped apprehension. Colontonl was taken Into custody und brought to police headquarters here, where he wus hooked to ap pear In court yesterday. Colontonl, who plended not guilty to the charge, told the court that his companion, whose name ho did not know, had offered him a ride on Franklin street Tuesday morning and he had accompanied him until appre hended. lie did not know that he was going hunting, he said, and told the court that hi! had never been In trfw woods before and that he did not know the tlrHt thing about hunting. Judge llnmmann found tho ac cused guilty and fined him $10 with costs of $«.40, making a total of $10.40, remitting the line. Farkos, who told the court that he had several drinks of wine Tuesday night and that he went Into the grill to get n cup of black coffee to clear bin head, stated that he had never before been arrested and promised to behave himself in the future. He had arranged to cut wood yesterday morning, and sharpened his nx the night before, anil that was the rea son he had taken the ax with him., to the grill. Judge llnmmann Imposed a fine or $0 with costs of $7.40, a total of $12.40 and Inter remitted the whole amount when Farkos convinced lilm 1 hat he hnd been out of work for over a year nnd that he was with out funds.

Among the nine states whose legislatures met in reg ular session, only Massachusetts and New Jersey succeeded in making even slight headway against the widespread feeling that business de pression could he overcome by de authorized the department of labor to Investigate unemployment espe cially among workers over forty-five and provided for the speeding up of state highway construction with a minor amendment to a public works bill, while New Jersey in December increased the power of local author ities to undertake public const ra tion. Congress pussed the unemploy ment statistics amendment but dropped the appropriation item con cerning it from the budget.'* Workmen's Compensation __ Five states and Porto Pico amend-* ed their workmen’s compensation laws. Virginia increased the propor tion of wages payable as compensa tion from 50 to 55 per cent, raised the weekly maximum from $12 to $14, the limit for total disability from' $4,500 to $5,600 and burial ex penses from $100 to $150 New York made three additions to its list, of compensable occupational diseases.

mferiden Manager Puts Local Team Oh Griddle For Gam&Mixup STAR WATERS NEAT PLAYERS BUT POOR SPORTSSAYS PILOT With the temporary absence from the headlines of Jack Kelly’s famous tangle with his managers, one might be led to believe that managerial scram bles had terminated insofar as public interest is concerned, at! least for the time being. Not j so, however, as you might! gather from the following wail of Manager T. Filipek of the Meriden St Stanislaus team who had the indiscretion to book two games on the same night with disastrous results, one of the games failing to take place when the Star Wa-1 ter team of this city got tired J of waiting for promised oppo- j sition and started for home. At any rate, if you like light winter reading, glance over the following, toward the end of which Manager Filipek claims he will not be “justified” until the game is played: Dee 31, 1930. 51 Kim Street, i Meriden, Conn. To Sports Kditur: IMeuse put in your sport eolunm the following letter concerning Mu Star Water Daskthull team of i terbury which walked off the >t Stanislaus school hull court at Meri den In a scheduled game with the St Stans of Meriden. The game was scheduled for Tuesday night, Doc. 30th. 'Jo Manager of Star Water Five The Star Water Five of Watcrbury was scheduled to play the St Stanis laus teom ol Meriden, Champions cl Southern New Kngland, at the S' Stun school hall on Tuesday night, Dec 30th. The game was scheduled to start a. 9:10 o'clock. The Stints had two games sche duled for Tuesday. They were lo pluy Cromwell at Cromwell at 3:15 p. m. un i then hurry back and pi i.v the Wut-ubury team at Meriden at 0:30 p. m. the latest. The Saints however arrived at (0:45) which was a half hour behind scheduled time of the St Stan-Star Water game and by this time the restless und Impatient luass City team was already leuving the court. They would not play. First of all allow me to stale my rcuuon tor booking iwu games which was not intentional on my part. Two weeks previous to December 30th I wrote a letter for games both to Wuterbury and Cromwell. I tried to book Waterbary for December 31st and Cromwell for December 30. Around December 37th I received ono reply to my letters and that was from the Wuterbury team. The Star Water manager stated that they were booked for December 31st. Ite celvlng no answer from Cromwell, J thought that the latter team would not be willing to play us on the 30th and ruther than be without a game, 1 scheduled Star Water for Decem ber 30th. And then the fun begun. On December 39th, In tho late aft rnoon Cromwell's manager sent me a special delivery letter saying that they had hooked the Saints for the 30th. Ill fuet the game was .already advertised in tile Middletown Press. 1 did not want, to disappoint cither tnitm by ealtlng the game oft the hurt, moment und so 1 hooked both teams, Cromwell and Waterbury. Apparently the Star Water niaa ngcr did like lids for some reason or other. It's I,Ike rills. tcfem fall* to arrive on scheduled Urnc. out. of the three previous tctaniH which we played at Meridmi, not one arrived on time, i here are ii few Instance* when the Saints played out of town and our fam ■was forced to wait and it was for no guarantee either. The Idea 1m this. The xpecialor and not the entertainer is the group u'hlcli is expected to her oine rest Jrtss and Impatient when a team does not arrive on time. The St. Stans playing the Star Water learn was supposed to he the entertainment, leaving the court, as the visiting team did because the Saints were a half hour late, allowed their sports manship. They did riot have any. 1 have heard of spectators becom ing tired and impatient under cir cumstances as mentioned above, hut the net of the. Star Water l ive was the most, unwound, unreasonahie arid ■unsportsmanlike conduct that ever occurred on our local court or else where. This Is no way to advertise team like the Star Water Kive. which I believe is compost’d of neat players and who I'm sure a re sports. The fact tnat. they wanted no gnaraute* does not give tiifin the rigid, to break lip tilings as they did indirect ly on our court. In conclusion I wish to state* that 1 will not be justified until that team plays our team as per agreement. Yours respectfully, T. I T Id I'KK.Mgr. Ko:* the St. Stans of Meriden, Cham pions of S. N.

Crispy New Alabama Mentor, Is Genuine One-Handed Fightet Crisp Succeeds Wade As Alabama Coach For Season Of 1931 By NF.A Service Tuscaloosa, Ala, Jan 1—Jack of all trades, yet master of them all, is the way they describe Henry G. Crisp, the one handed coach and two-fisted fighter, who becomes director of athletics at the University of Alabama in 1931, succeeding Wallace Wade. A handicap that would have dis couraged almost any boy seeking na tional prominence as an athlete and coach only spurred ••Hustling Hank", his nlcknamo on the Crimson camp us, to greater efforts. A story of his pcrseverunce and wlll-to-wln goes back 27 years, an Incident trivial at the time, when Crisp was only live years old. Here's Tlic Story llenry and brother Dew is, seven, were playing with some old Civil War cannon balls In front of their father's storo In .Falkland, N. C. Soon they were In competition to see who could throw them the greater dis tance. An uncle, watching their ef forts, marked a line 10 feet from where they were throwing, and of fered a quarter to the one tossing th« Iron ball past it. The struggle that followed was In vain and soon their thoughts turned to other pastimes. Within half an hour, however, Henry was buck. Picking up the nearest cannon hull, lie let loose a mighty heave with every ounce of muscle in his live year-old frame. He collected the quurtcr. Only One Hand Crisp was 18 when his right hand wus cut off at the wrist while help ing his father fill the silo. Suffering grout pain, the lud wus put to bed. hut the next morning, pain or no pain, he was out of doors learning to throw left-handed. Following u splendid record both a" an athlete and scholar at lllack stonc Military Academy. Crisp en rolled ut Humpden-SIdney College. His first football game was aguinst Virginia Military Institute. Follow ing the game, the V. M. I. coach up pruached Coach Bernier of Hunip den-SIdney with this Joking query: •'Why don't you cut one hand off a 11 your players'.'" Two years at Humpdin-Bldnoy and young Crisp followed Coach Bernier ie Virginia Poly, where he starred four yeurs on Gobbler elevens us a tackle and fullback. From Ills buck I’eld position he culled slgnuls and run with the hull. In the line he was 1ho leader of the defense. SUIT-Arming Opponents of V. P. 1. in those duys may still recull the "nubblng" Crisp gave them, a trick of stiff-uniting with his hundless r glit arm. There v.as one gume In which the referee halted play to examine the bunduge "nub" when opponents complained that Crisp must be using lead or some other hard substance under the ban.luge. Football didn’t tube all of the young Carolinian's time. When his i.iulesklns were stored away after Thunksglvlng day. he donned basket ball toggery. Two of the three yeurs hr played on the varsity. V. P. I. laptured conference titles. In truck he participated In the sprints and hi|h Jump. He even played one year of professional baseball, drawing his' salary principally because the funs thrilled ut the way he couched on the base lines, pitched to batters in practice and knocked fly halls to the iur corners of the outllold Ij/lsp drew Ms diploma from V. I». I in 122U but returned there In the lull to work for bis Master of Arts degree. In January of 192t.

STEP ON IT, WE GOT A CUJE 0 IMWWWWtWWlHWWWWWWWWWWWW Matchmakers or Commissioners? By DAN PARKER IF Tilt'. BOXINC COMMISSION showed the same zeal for protecting the public which was gypped by the Khnrkey-Srhmellng fiasco Inst summer us It is now showing In seeing thut Jack Shurkey gets a return bout with Mux, most of us would bo heartily applauding Its present efforts. But, really, the Commission Is overstepping itself again In trying to 1111 the role of matchmaker. The general public Isn't particularly Interested in who meets Sclimeling as long ns lie Is the best man In the field. And the only way to find out the best man In the Held of contenders Is to let them fight It out. ,y I hold no brief for StrlUllng,' us my readers know. Yet, the fellow deserves consideration, In view of his recent record. He has fought three l’alrly formidable contenders since Sharkey last appeared In the ring ami has eliminated all three. Sharkey is still the logical contender. In the estimation of most funs, hut there is hardly any fair-minded disciple of the fistic game who doesn't agree that he should eliminate Strlbling again. Their last bout was fought two years ago and u lot has happened since then. The surprising part of the* present situation is thtrt Slmrkey himself Is willing to meet Strlbling again while Strlbling. until a day or two ago, refused to have anything fo do with the Lith. Now he has changed his mind und sues he’ll me,et Shurkey, either In Miami or in Chicago. He doesn’t think he'll get a square deal in New York, though the fact that he eseuped being lynched after several of the utterly disappointing exhibi tions he put on here bespeaks the line sportsmunshlp of the denizens of our much-maligned metropolis.

Of course. If Strlblinfr was matched with Sclimeling and Sharkey was pushed out of the picture entirely, that would be a rank injustice und then we would all appluud the Boxing Commslslon for seeing thut the IJthuunlun received a square deal. However, there is no danger tit. present that Sharkey III be left out In tlie cold. If lie meets Strlbling and can't like him, ho deserves to he left out, though. Every time the Sharkoy-Sclimcllng rangle hobs up again, I can't help thinking that It ould have been avoided entirely had not the Boxing Com mission betrayed the fans by permitting Schtneling to strike the foul claMe out of his contract. It will be recalled that the original contract called f«3r the contestants to be paid only according to the numWef of rounds they fought, In case of a foul. However, Schmeling refused to sign such a con tract und the Commission let him get away with it. with the result that Maxle was able to collect Ills entire purse ami sneuk hack to normally while giving us all the old horse-laugh. It may be true that someone needs to help out the helpless match makers wo t\pw have In the rucket Ijui that's up,to the club owners not the Boxing Commlssioh, which Is supposed to be in there regulating the sport, not competing with A1 Weill and Tony Martello. IT'S ALMOST TIM 10 I told a Joe Wull storv that know from personal experience. Buck In 1920, when the dear old Waterbary Brusscos were fighting desperately for mst place and the attendance hud fallen off to a male quartet. It wus decided something hud to be done to revive interest In the club. So the lute .FinI Ciuhcy. a theulrtcal man who was also connected with the team, traveled lo New York, got Ids tonsils badly sunburned and returned the next day, with u shortstop named Riley and a flrst-buseinaa named Wall in tow. It was Saturday and lie Just hud time to break the story In the ufternon papers so the crowd would turn out the next duy to see tile two marvels. Clancy gave Riley u put or two on the buck, verbally, but what lie said about tHe Cheat Joe Wall might lie mistaken for the his tory of Rube Ruth or Ty Cobb, lie was the greatest first-baseman that ever donned a glove: the best hitter, the Itcetest runner und the fastest thinker, lie reeled off statistic after statistic about Mister Wall. The boys In the rollluff mills ate, the stuf^.up utjd the next afternoon. Brass. Burk was Jammed to the eaves with funs who wanted to see the (treat Joe Wull. Well, there lie was, all right, scampering around in front of first base like u colt und reflecting the strong June sun off his two front gold teeth like u mirror. He wus dazzling—or Hie gold teeth were, anyway. The game started with Jorrv Kuhn, u Jersey City 'ad. pitching for deur old Wuterburj. The first ball pitched to the Hartford batter wus hit on the ground to Kuhn. He flung it. to Joe, who, unfortunately, got his thumb In life wav. and hooted it. The next ball hit was also a grounder to the pitcher. Tills time Kalin ran over hull way and tossed it under hand to Joe. Again the great Wall of China muffed it. The third batter hit to the pitcher again and this time Joe caught the throw but his foot wasn’t on the bug so the umpire called the runner sale. Joe came at him on the run. threw the ball Into the dirt with a mighty gesture of disgust 1 to urgue It out with plenty of "dese,” "dose and denis. and then started to urgue Meuntlme, the three runners poured across the plate like a dragoons. troop of With theuld of UI1 Act of Congress or something. like thut. the side as finally retired und the 'Brusscos tali, there wus a ball club!) walked to the bench. Kuhn, a. generous hearted lad, thought he wouldn l tail, it Into Joe, who was a newcomer and therefore, perhaps, a tdt nervous, so lie Just sal In his corner of the bench and acted as if nothing out of the or dinary had happened. Joe walked over to the water Jug. calmly gargled tils llirout a couple of tluves and then, serenely strolled over to Kahn, laid a patronizing hand on his shoulder and said: “Why don t you Irun cm right, kid?"

Chicago Vfcs Not Stopped a Bit icouunnm frwm Hagwu When they dltf Htsif sr*. it wak to give warnings, and few arrest*, none important, wen made. In the hotels, guests were warned to keep bottles out of sight and managers reported they had no dif ficulties either with oftleers or with customers. One hotel refused to serve "setups," but delivered Ice cold ginger ale to the table of any guest who asked for It. While the din was at Its height, with people shouting, auto sirens blowing, and steamboat* In the Chi cago river adding to the noise, a comparatively small group of 300 persons knelt In prayer In the First Methodist church, which Is- located 'on the main floor of a skyscraper in the heart of the loop. "Need we care for the franti mirth going on outside to-night," said the Itev John Thompson to his eongregation. "We, gathered here In the peaceful atmosphere of this house of prayer, can pity those frenzied worldling* who In their folly, doubtless pity us." Although the depression of. the passing year was forgotten iri most places, It was recalled, humorously, at the Turkish Vl*ag¥. ’a famous Clark street restaurant where two years ago mdoiible murder -Wit* com mitted. As the clock struck 12. one reveler there produced a rag doll labeled "Old Man Depression” artd. with much solemnity, drowned It In a tub of gin. Traffic, throughout the city, was heavy. Many nedde"'" were re ported. most of them minor. Short ly before midnight, an automobile plowed Into a group of pedestrians waiting for a street car. Two men were killed, two other* I n.lured. The two deaths brought the total auto fatalities In Cook county In 1930 to 1.835, a record, 114 more than in 1929 A policeman saved the driver of the death car from mob violence. A woman and a 12-y»ar old, boy were rim down and killed by motorist* earlier In the evening. But Right Into Midst of Cheer (Continued front I'uIje 1.)

There are six, others loll, and the house will .‘begin consideration of i hem Immediately after tho recess. The senate cun pass these hills very uulckl.v once they can get. a hear, lug, but It Is an oftHy mutter lo fil ibuster them. Tho cusli ho mis has manifested itself during the recess' as one of ih» most likely subjects of prolonged debate. In the last few duys. It has developed Into a real Issue that It appears congress must face In the short session.

Kf I'orts now ure being miide to enlist the American Legion for the cash payment, find If this Is successful, it will have a good chance In congress. The legion has undoubted political power. A battery of statements wus Issued yesterday urging action by congress and criticising Director Frank T Hines of the Veterans Bureau for a statement pointing out the loan privi leges on the certificates which wus taken as an administration move to check tlie bonus movement. Sponsors of the cash payment pro posals contend that only a Small part of Ihe $425,000,000 available for loans could he utilised hy (lie veter ans, and said the. loan provisions would he no aid to (hose who already have borrowed lo Ihe full amount, which Includes those most needy. Ourner made public a copy of his hill, permitting optional acceptance by veterans of the present rash value of the certificates. He will intro tlucc It when congress reconvenes. Condition of Marshal Joffre (Continued from Page I.) the hospital cleared the streets nt noon when n false rumoi of the death of Marshal Joffre was circu lated In Purls and abroad. The baseless rumor, which was an* nounced on the radio as allegedly •■offlclul” news, caused Premier Kteeg to drive to the hospital. The premier’s chauffeur said the premier’s chauffeur said Stceg had arrived "to salute the dead," as a result of the false rumor, an an nouncement of Joffre’s condition was Issued later from the premier's of fice for the first time. The capital was confused by the erroneous reports, recalling that a similarly false report of the deatn of the late CJeorges Clemenceau, war-time premier, was circulated In Paris nn:l abroad some hours before the ‘‘Tiger" actually died. The cor respondents In touch with the hos pital authorities were Informed that Joffe was In a critical condition, out still flghctng bravely. In the meantime a flood of nies. sages of condolence arrived for Madame Joffre. Members of the cabinet. Including Aristide Briand, Henri Cheron ami others, arrived at the hospital. "We found Marshal Joffre feeble but nllve." sntil -Minister of Marine Charles Danlelou. as he departed. The false report of Marshul.Jof fre's death was circulated in Amer ica by others than the United Press today, but was soon followed by a doctor’s bulletin disproving the rumor. Waterbury to Be Put on Probation (Continued from Page I.) gested hi the commission's report In force. The powers of the proposed new commission would be similar to those enjoyed by the present charter com mlsslon. The governor would have the power to appoint a commission of live persons, electors of Wnter bury. The governor, alone, would navo Ihe power to remove any mem ber of the commission. The commission would have the power to subpoena apybiulv It suw (It to and would have. 4hc power to arder audits. Unlike Ihe^ present charter commission, the new finance commission I Mirtd YWcetVc fefivjnera Jon-. Furthermore, the commission souM have Ihe power to set lta*wn expenses. t t During (he first flve years that the commission nmf tt|o iwt, rfinllng it are In elTectA'rfo nm*wdn*eilli. ex cept additions to the luw, may be made by the elf? council, and then oidy by a v/opr-flAha vote. The ■cotanbll would1 nave no power to re peal any portion of the act creating the commission. After the expiration of the flve yfcar period, the act and any amend ment thereto by the general as aembly or by the city council may continue unless the act, which at the fehd of live yearn automatically be comea a local ordinance. Ib repealed by a four-fifthn vote of the city council. Therefore, Indications now are, that the city may have a Hartford appointed supervising commission for the next five yearn and will he forced to meet additional expenses for the work of this body. Just ns It has during the past two years. One Policeman Was Killed (Continued from Pbr« 1) Policeman John Maler, who re cently gained much notoriety in con nection with the suicide of a titled Kngllsh woman, was shot in the stomach. .He was not with the squad, but was celebrating with other revelers In the cabaret. Mathew Joyce, a policeman, was shot In the stomach. John ItuppeH, a pntron, also was hit In the stom ach by a bullet and Kugene Brooks, another patron, wus Injured when one oT'the bandits hit him on the head wltji a gun. Thp bandits whlth whom Don drujka fought, entered the cat) office at S a. fn. as' drivers were turning In their receipts for the nights. They left without obtaining any loot, witnesses believed Dondrusku, who shot three times, wounded at least one of them.

W ashiiigton.—Kulncd eastern pal aces which housed the- kings of Per sia GOO years before the Christian era are 10 lie restored In ull their ancient glory under the scientific hand of an American orientalist, Dr .lames Henry Breasted of Chicago university. Although the details of Breusted’H plans are not yet known, the state department has been Informed by Charles C. Hurt, American minister to Persia, that the Persian govern nient has grunted the Chicago uni versity professor u permit to do the work. This |n?rmif, incidentally, is understood to he the first ever issued to a citizen of any nution other than J'ranee, which, for several years, lots had the sole right to investigate the rich Persian treusura-houses of ar cheology. It was grunted under Persia's newly-enacted antiquities luw. Pomp uml Glory The Persian puluces are located at Persepolls, undent capital ol Persia, which reflected the pomp und glory of Oriental potentates for centuries, und then was forgotten, flic old city Is located 40 miles northeast ol' the present town of Shiraz. In Persepolis, nearly a,500 years ago. lived Darius 1, of the First Archuemenlun dynasty, Most of the ancient buildings date buck to Ills reign. Shifting populations, wars und other forces dimmed the glory of Persepolis, and it was lorgolten. Kven the enlightened Greeks of the oIuhhIcuI period, Home historians say, did not know of Persepolis until Al exander the Great, In one ol his cumpnglns. eunie upon it. ltd urued to Funic 'J hefi, for a while, Persepolis was famous again. In 218 B.C it wu-. made the capital of Perslu, u pro vince of Alexander's Macedonia)' empire. Nearly live centuries later J stakin', which grew up near the an cient city, been me the seat of local governois. TltiH town became the capltul of the second Persian em pire und rivuled the older city as a seat of religion und learning. Few buildings erected by rulers of the second empire remain, for they were of lighter construction than the massive palaces of Darius J,. For 1,000 years the glory of Per sepolls waxed and waned. In the 10th century It ceased to exist and Wus given over to the bats and owls. Now comes u 20-century Ameri can to dig the old buildings from their blanket of dust, to explori their still evorrldors and chambers In search of valuuble antiques, and to restore the crumbling palaces to their former estate. Breasted, one of America's out standing archaeologists, taught for many yours In Chicago university. In 1925 he was relieved of classroom Work lo lake charge of the Oriental Institute In the Near East and to do research work. Previously, Breasted had directed un Egyptian expedition sent out by Chicago university in 1905. T The Classified Section—Buy And Sell Here DISTRICT OF WATERBURY, ss. Probate Court December 31st, A.

Congratulations to George Stokes, reappointed personal tax collector tor another lour years. The parade of property owners ap pealing from valuations starts Tuesday in the city hall before the board of relief. Congratulations to Frank Hayes, entering upon his second year as ntavor. Mrs Rocco DiOrio is on the road to recovery after an illness of two years duration. -[o] An ex-serviceman tells me that I must have had reference to holly and not laurel, in my A. I I Christmas topic the other night. He's right, it was holly. I was in Epcrnay." he says, "and noticed the holly that grew in that section. But I didn't see any laurel. Are you sure Christy it was laurel. I think you slipped up lor once." I admit the error. The reference should have been to holly instead of laurel. Thanks buddy for the check on that one. 1 o J John Waynich’s letter to the Tower in which he called Cor poral Coyle post to task on its Christmas program, has brought a retort from Past Commander Walter Angle. Waynich. in writing from a New York hospital, said the legion had forgotten him at Christmas. Past Commander Angle showed me a letter from Way nich in which he was most profuse in his thanks for what Coyle post had done for him. Said Angle. T do not understand John Waynich’s taking a crack at us the way he did in his letter to you. He seemed to be very grateful as you can see by his letter to me.

Having encountered a certain Airs Oilhooley arriving at work the other dawning, my statistical interest was aroused and I found myself in the office of one fc. L. Brown, whoso job it is to keep a skyscraper spick and spun. And he tells me its much easier lo keep it span than spick.
