DEAD OR ALIVE

The first page Of the Herald yes tefday contained two stories Of hang ings. one of an impending death sen- tence narrowly avertcd, one murder story and five stories Of accidental death.
 One should think that in view Of the frequent opportunities 10 read about accidental deaths that high degree of carefulness would be bred into the public. But the telegraph editor can crawl out of bed in the morning and be more certain Of being confronted with stories over the wire of sudden deaths that day than he is certain of anything else in his strenu- ous existence.
 Thousands if not millions, of per- sons have been placed on their guard against accidents by reading of them in the newspapers; it is the first re- action one gets-to exercise care that the same thing doesn't happen to ones self. But despite the caution that cus- tomarily guides persons while vaca- tioning or at play at the shore or.while motoring, somebody somewhere. day after day. appears to lose his or her grip on the good fortune to continue living.
 Saturday and Sunday are the worst days of the week for accidents. More persons are at play and more with a reckless disposition are at large. Be interested sufficiently to do your bit to keep down the summers death toll.

PICTURESQUE CONNECTICUT


 In New Hampshire. Vermont and Maine. and in parts of Massachusetts much ado is made Of the pretty na- tural scenery. Thousands Of summer vacationists are drawn to those sec tions and the tourist business Is an important summer industry Then In winter. when several feet of snow lave the ground in upper New England, campaigns are conducted to attract tourists who get thrill from winter sports.
 The tourist industry in some parts of New England. therefore. is an aIl- year-around business: 1t Is increasing every year. From financial stand point-which is of extreme interest to the natives catering to the wants Of . multitude of tourists-the industry produces much wealth.
 As tourists paradise, Connecticut has much to offer. and it has some advantages not possessed by other parts of New England. It is com- paratively close to the most congested and wsalthiest urban section in the United States, is easily reached from there, and combines the beauties of towering hills. rugged landscapes, yer dant valleys, placid lakes winding rivers and an appealing seashore.
 Connecticut has been entirely too modest. It should assert it's charms and attract customers. The soft pedal has been so consistently used in speak ing or writing of Connecticut that even many of its owns citizens are but dmly conversant with its wonderful attractions. Nutmeggers who laud the Berkshires until they are out of breath rarely have q word left for the equally shagged plumage of western con necticut; Nutmeggers who historically proclaim the charm of the corrugated notches of New Hampshire seldom take time to comprehend the knotted heights that pierce the horizon in their own state; Nutmeggers who tes- tify regarding the wind-swept tumul- tuous seashore of Maine entirely over look the play of pelagic Neptune along the Sound.
 Virtually every city and town in Connecticut is set within a serrated frame of primeval quaintness.
 A short space of motoring, and one is in the midst of festal elesy Of sharply rolling countryside; ride on any inter-city trolley is scenic trip; . walk beyond the last paved streets leads to the portals of fairyland.
 One does not need to go far afield in Connecticut to attain the maximum of summer enjoyment. Twenty-seven state parks and seven state forests beckon: scores of lakes surrounded by promontories and wooded hills, and galaxy of sparkling rivers, stand ready to yield their joys; more than 100 miles of jagged seashore lure hu- manity. Roads of table-like smooth ness lead everywhere within the state. And to the south sweep the majestic waters of Long Island Sound, \ great watery haven meant for pleas ure boats. the originator of cooling breezes for the inhabitants along its highland Connecticut shore.
 There are lands with higher moun- tsins, there are lands of milder cline: but in summer there is nothing like Connecticut sublime.

CHARLES w. BRYAN

At a time when William Jenning!
 Bryan had quit running for office hi i brother Charles w. Bryan girded hi: loins and plunged into the political maelstrom. Charles from the start had more luck than Bill, gaining a political ascendancy in Nebraska that finally placed him in the governors chair.
 From this vantage point he is thrust into national prominence by being selected as the running mate of John w. Davis. Brother Bill, in sug- gesting a list of "availables" at the Democratic convention at time when the McAdoo- Smith deadlock seemed incapable of being broken, included his brother Charles, much to the disgust of some who thought one Bryan In the national political pie was enough; yet most of those who were irritated at Bills nepotic suggestion ultimately voted for Charles as the vice-presi- dential candidate.
 That Charles made what Is regard ed as Ia good record" as mayor of Lincoln, Neb., and as governor of that state weighed greatly in his favor. That he is "close to the farmers" was an- other reason vouchsafed for his con- sideration. When at a conference of state leaders 1t was conceded that a middle westerner should be the rum ming mate, Charles was decided upon after Senator Walsh had declined be- cause 1t was believed he would be & potent factor in swinging the west ern farm vote.
 If the name of Bryan is so highly regarded in the COW country, Davis will not suffer It will not affect Davis chances il the east. Some voters may balk at voting for anything with the Bryan label, but they will realize be- fore election that Charles w. isn't William J. and cannot be held to an- swer for the vagaries of the latter.
 Charles W. Bryan left Illinois, where he was born, to join his brother, Will liam Jennings Bryan, in Nebraska. Charles first venture into business was to become the proprietor of side street cigar store in Omaha, but soon afterwards became salesman for food extract concern in Lincoln. When his brother ran for the presidency in l s9G he became his private secretary.
 Charles was elected mayor of Lin- coin in 1915, winning his campaign by agitating against high ice, coal and prices generally. He threaten cd to start a municipal ice plant, which was followed by reduction in ice prices. A similar method suc- ceeded in reducing coal prices.
 This record of battling for the real pr fancicd wrongs Of the dear people brought him statewide popularity, which netted him the governors chair in 1929. Now he is national char acter as the tail 10 the Democratic Kite.

Outline Of History

Lady Jane Grey was calm, and was looking her best in spite of the fact that she was doomed to die within a few minutes.
 Not a cry did she utter as her head was placed upon the block, nor did she finch when the executioner lifted his axe. Nor did she shed a tear as she heard the crisp whistle of the descending axe.
 Thud! Her head dropped from the block, and the lifeless body of Lady Jane Gray Topped ungracefully in an- other direction, for Lady Jane Grey was lazy hen which had ceased to lay.

] business eiih others in New Britain state that the service which included two direct deliveries day between that place and this city, one at noon and the other al night, vas bad enough without making it worse,
 The Disbursements associations and the chambers of commerce in the towns thus affected, have started a l.halfheartsd movement to have the service improved if possible. but there has been no real momentum to inc project yet. There have been iHs stances where persons have heen put to great deal of inconvenience be- cause of the delays oeeasioned by the unnecessary juggling of mail.
 southington despaiehes Its mail to Meriden by trolley and quick and eff fieient service is rendered thereby. If the post office department could be shown that the trolley service would be just as efficient between Plain vile and New Britain. the change might he for the beneht Of all con eerned,
 
 come a habit with number Of jitnsy 'drisers 10 allow young women tprob- ably their friends) to ride back and forth for a number of times in their buses from the center of the city 10 the end of the route. The same girls have been seen In the same busses on the same seats for as long a period AS two hours. It does not look we'll 10 the casual observer.
 The proprietors of the jitney routes must look after the welfare of their patrons who are bound to suffer to q certain extent as the result of these riders" The drivers and the girls themselves evidently mean no harm, but the girl Is bound to talk 10 the driver. 10 become engaged in an in- teresting conversation so that he even forgets or 1t slips his mind that Mrs. So and So wanted 10 get off at this street, and continues on his way until he is reprimanded by the irrltatcd elderly woman. Again, the girl may become angry because of certain de- velopments during the conversation with friend driver and use language not exatly the kind heard in polite society. 8
 Then again if the drivers attention is constantly diverted 10 the girl. whom he has as passenger-rider, it Is plain to see that his mind is not upon driving. He might be- come careless and through his care lessness figure in an accident. It would seem that for the benefit of the public. the driver and his em- ployer. it would be best for the driv- 70 CTS to inform these friends" that they no longer are welcomed as guests unless they are paying passengers.

Raiders Make Raid
On Dyson's Chickens

Ellie G. Dyson, better known as
Thoroughbred DYSON" was disagree
ably surprised Monday night in the
form of chicken raid. Dyson laid
claim as the owner of a thorough
bred flock of poultry.
According to the story of the vic
tim of the unannounced raid the
raiders pulled the staple out of the
doorand made. their entrance without
any further complications.
At least four prize hens and an
inestimable number of small chicks
were stolen. The rain of the early
morning washed away all tracks so
that it was impossible for the blood
hounds to track the raiders.

Bronco and Steer
Rider to Exhibit
At Ball Park Sat.
Raymond Rice

Gel Paso" Pete, known through
out the country and the cowboy
world as a death defying bronco rider
will exhibit his wares in real style
at the baseball park next Saturday
afternoon.
Last Saturday this world removed
parsonage drew large crowd behind
the w. & A. depot to watch him stick
to bucking mule, but despite all
the efforts of Pete and his helpers
the mule would not buck. So the
throng had to go away disappointed.
But the dashing boy from the wild
and woolly west promises to redeem
himself Saturday. He will have sew
eral wild steers, mules and horses at
the ball field to assist him in his en-
tertainment. He says that he wants
to prove to the people of Marietta
and Cobb county that his boast to
ride anything on four feet" is alb
solutely true.
