TOBACCO IN CONNECTICUT

The history of the Connecticut
Valley Tobacco Association has been
written. The finish of this ambitious
project has been a sad blow to that
idealism which regards Corpora
ton among growers as the certain
panacea for all the economical diff
ficulties of agriculture. In no state.
not even in the West. was the CO.
operative movement put to . great
err test than in Connecticut. For to-
bacco culture in the Connecticut val
ley is big industry, and during the
heyday of the associations prosperi-
ty 80 per cent of the growers sold
their product through this co-opera-
tive organization.
The failure of the association
proved conclusively that no coop
erative movement can circumvent
supply and demand. The demand for
cigars has decreased while the de-
mand for cigarettes has increased.
which resulted in a depression of
the price level. 1t was natural, there
fore, that tobacco growers In the
valley concluded that they could OBJ
tain just as good prices without re-
lying upon q cooperative associa.
ton which had no effect upon the
prices.
The principle holds good through
out all agriculture. despite the zeal
GUS preachments originating in
Washington regarding the value OF
cooperative associations. These as
sociations cannot make prices as
cend to a reasonable level if condi-
tons over which they have no con-
troll prevent the advancement.
Despite the situation In the Con-
necticut tobacco growing industry
the state maintains the highest pro-
duction per acre except for one
other state, Pennsylvania. In Con-
necticut production in 1927-the
last year reported by the U. S. De-
partment of Commerce-was 1924
pounds per acre: in Pennsylvania
production was 1850. In all the
others. except Wisconsin where pro-
duction was 1910 pounds an acre.
the figures we're low. 1t is notable.
however, that the record for Con-
necticut was lower in 1927 than in
any previous year since 1928.
An analysis of the average price
per pound paid producers by states
leads to the conclusion that the Con-
necticut. river growers have been
faring comparatively well-except
that it costs them more to produce
their crops than in some other
states. The government statistics for
1907 read as follows:

THE PUNCH howl
By Samuel Hoffenstein

I've had troubles all my life:.
Now twas storm and now twas

Yet at honest trades l worked
Year in, year out. and never shirk-
cd.
Then l married, settled down.
And kept on settling round the
(For, as you know. the life domestic
Is not always of the best-ic).
Did I grumble? Yes, / did,
But never had thought to skid:
Honest toil' was still my motto,
us the way to get your auto
Though I knew that I could land ii
Easy, as a super-bandit.
Well. some day I'll have my fill
The worm will turn-BUT I'LL LIE
STILL!
Darling. you have lived and loved
And your capacious nature proved /;
Now promise that the residue
To me will evermore be true!
Though you have been of much be-
reft,
Oh, give me, give me what Is left.
And let me ever, ever be
The keeper of the moiety!
oh, promise, promise to be true!-
! love the fraction that is you-
And let, past all subtraction, me
Your last denomination be!

Althenrhein, Switzerland, Oct. 2l P-Do-X, huge 12-engined flying boat which was launched here last July, today made an amazing one hour flight with a human load Of l69, the first time in the history of aviation that so many persons have been carried into the air on any conveyance.
 The giant Dornier plane took off at 1l:15 a. m. and landed just one hour later. The machine flew over Lake Constance, her motors working faultlessly and landed with her 51- ton load at 1915 p. m. without a hitch.
 The Do-N carried 159 passengers and crew Of ten. She had made previous test flights but this was the first time that so great load was taken up.
 The flying boat, which may be used for a transatlantic crossing for the purpose of trying out her capa- cities, was built in the greatest secrecy. She was designed to carry 40 passengers normally but has ac- commodation for loo if necessary. Her 1 ? engines can develop a total of 6,000 horsepower and each engine can be treated individually without l affecting it's neighbors.

Huge D0-X Plane Takes l69 Aloft;
 Greatest Load In Aviation History

The Do-N measures 50 feet from tip 10 tail. It's wings are ten feet thick and 150 feet from wing tip to wing tip. Six great turrets project from each wing and each turret Is equipped with two engines of 500 horsepower. The turrets are man. ned by mechanics who can walk along q passage on the inside Of the wings from one turret 10 another
 When the Do-X was launched last July she carried 34 tons of weight and was able 10 get into the air with the greatest ease after a take off run of only 500 yards. Other trials were similarly successful.
 One of the features Of the plane is her three decks. Another is that the machine can fly with only eight motors in use.
 MT. Dornier built the plane at Althenrhein, which is on the Swiss side of the German Swiss frontier, because of the limitations on Ger man aircraft imposed by the treaty of Versailles.
 While the ship was being built many skeptics maintained it would never fly owing to it's enormous weight. Aviation experts, however were enthusiastic about her ability , to take the air.

FIREMAN KILLED, 10 HURT IN BAD BLAZE Worcester Fire Wrecks Wall, Dropping Men
 to Ground

Worcester, Mass, Oct. 21 (P)- One fireman, Lieut.. Carl R. Swen- sen, of Engine l, was killed and ten others badly injured, two of them so seriously that fears are en- tertained for their recovery, in a s250000 blaze in the wall paper warehouse of the E. G. Higgins con- pany early today. Captain Henry Kane of Hose and Captain John Axelson of Ladder 3 are in a criti- cal condition in the City hospital, with their deaths expected before the day is over.
 The fire started in a coal cellar and four alarms were sounded, sum- moning all the apparatus in the city. It did not have serious aspects until long after daylight when the flames burst from all portions of the five story block. This sudden occurrence wrecked the wall on which ladders bearing the firemen were resting.
 All the ambulances in the city were summoned to take the injured to the hospital. Captain Swensen was dead when he reached there. Four persons who occupied rooms in the upper part of the building, MT. and Mrs. Alfred Malbcuef and their daughter, Lillian, 10 and Miss Clara Conklin, were rescued by six taxicab drivers.

PALMERS WILL LEAVE
 TOWN HOME OFFICES
and Ma trOn to Retire on
 November 16

Mir. and Mrs. c. Waite Palmer have resigned as superintendent and matron at the town home, effective November 16, at which time their successors, Mir. and Mrs. Roy c. Busch, will take over their duties.
 The Palmers have served the city at two times. During the administration of George A. Quigley as mayor, they displaced Mir. and Mrs. George r. l[ibbe, who later returned 10 the work when the Palmers resigned. On March 1, 1925. the public welfare commission again engaged the serv- ices of Mir. and Mrs. Palmer and they have continued in the city's em- ploy since that date.
 Mir. and Mrs. Busch are former residents of this city, now living in Hartford. In the opinion of members of the board, Mrs. Busch's experi- ence as graduate nurse ideally fits her for the work at the town home. while MT. Busch is expected to em- ploy to good advantage his knowl- edge of farming, gained through many years of work in that business.

Memorandum of Secret Proceedings Disclosed on M e ssage e Frorn Wuichet on Proposed Rate for Gun Barrels is Brought to Light.
J. Henry Roraback's Office Used as Conference Room by Hubbard and Bingham When Decision Was Made to Send Eyan- son to Washington
Rv GEORGE II. MANNING

Washington Bureau. N. R. Heram)
 Washington, D. C.. Oct. 21.-It was indirectly charged today by Senator Walsh of Montana during the senate lobby investigation. that c. l.. Eyanson of the Connecticut Manufacturers association kept his organization informed of the find ings and progress of the senate committee on finance constantly during his attendance at the con- mittecs secret meetings.
 Despite the fact that Walsh pro- duced written evidence of the fact not available to anyone save re- publican members of the committee on finance, Eyanson steadfastly pro- tested that he was not responsible ana neither did Ee know how the information was obtained. Insinua- tons were then made by Senators Walsh and Blaine that he (Eyanson) was in constant touch with Hart ford.
 During his time on the stand to- day, Eyarson surrendered not one fact to the committee, however un- important, and was forced 10 con- tradict himself at least once.
 The office of J. Henry Roraback, Connecticut republican national committeeman, was used as con- ference room by E. Kent Hubbard, president Of the Connecticut Manu- facturers' association. and Senator Bingham, it was brought out at the hearing This fact was revealed by Mr. Hubbard.
 Asked for All Correspondence
 When F,yansoh took the stand Senator Walsh said he wanted to be sure that he. Eyanson, had given to the committee all the correspondence dealing with association with Sena- tor Bingham during the tariff delib- crationS.
 Eyanson answered that he thought the committee had all the corres- pondenCe pertinent to the inquiry. whereupon Walsh produced a mem- orandum written by James Wuichet, an employe of the Connecticut Manufacturers association to Eyan- son on the matter of having Bing- ham fight for raise on the duty on shot gun barrels. The witness protested he did not know Of the existence of the memorandum.
 Taken From Secret Meeting
 Walsh insisted that the contents of the memorandum contained infor- nation that was not public and in- sinuated that it was taken from secret meeting of the republican members of the committee on fi- nance.

Nine Year Old Boy Amazes Critics
 In Phenomenal Violin Performance

New York, Oct q Pl-What does a little boy of nine years think about the next morning, after he has seen an audience of music lovers rise to their feet and cheer him and call him back again and again?
 For one thing he wanted break fast. And then he'd like, please sir, to be allowed to play his violin.
 Ruggiero Ricci came out of the west last night to play Mendelssohns concerto in F minor with the Man haitian Symphony orchestra and sweep both audience and critics off their feet with the brilliance and warmth of his playing.
 Its pity that he can't know what the critics think of him. He never will until he has become more mature. All he nnew today is that "The critics didn't razz you, dear. They thought you did very we'll"
 That's all that Miss Beth Lackey, his legal guardian and assistant in structor, would let him know.
 Of course he heard the enthusias- tic applause of his audience at Mcc- ca Temple last night. and he was a bit surprised at that, but then he had seen San Francisco audience

 Here are what some of New Yorks critics think of him:
 "A technical mastery of the violin and a genius for interpretation that places him in q class with the hand full Of great living violinists. A temperament that burns unceas- ingly, a burning vitality that makes every note he plays momentous," says Samuel Chotsinoff of the World.
 Leonard Liebling of the American: |:
 When he had finished his per- fo1mance 1t was generally agreed by all the experts present that they had never experienced such phenom- enal talent on the part of any violin prodigy"
