TAKE IT EASY

The criticism of Alderman Falk against the board of public works seems to be done in good humor For that many thanks. It is too much inclined to be hot in July for acrimonious debate, although it may not get too hot for a bit of digni- fled discussion as to what ought to be done about keeping down ex- penses here and there in the city's esta blishment. The investigation sought seems reasonable, as if the board is running things as it claims to be doing, 1t would not need to fear an investigation. As to the re- lative merits of hiring trucks in- stead of buying them, that seems to be a matter for the Common Council. Charges have been heard before this that equipment utilized only part of the time has been pur- chased by the city. It is matter of policy. and the Council is the body to fix policies. Whatever is done or discussed, however, let good humor prevail.

EASIER MONEY AND BROKERS LOANS

Financial observers seem to be nonplussed at the increase of s406,- 0O0.000 in brokers loans during June. AS one of them has pointed out, the total of such loans for stock market operations from the beginning of 1928 to May. 1929, has been an increase of 50 per cent; that there has been s2,OO0. 900 of new credit thrown into the stock market within 1T months.
 This, of course. has been at the bottom of stock market prosperity. When there was contraction Of brokers loans of s200,000,000 in April and May of this year there was a notable stock slump, proving to everyone that at the bottom of the stock market prosperity lay foundation of easy credit; and that easy credit. rather than other pros pActs, is what helps the stock mar ket to register higher figures.
 There is a deal of explaining un- der way, with as many opinions al- most as there are interested parties. But it is as evident as daylight that easy credit has quicker effect in values than any other one item.

WHY "POkE-NOSE" DEBCSSY
 GAVE UP THE GAME

Through kind gift of Dame Ma ture, Poke Nose Debussy was en- dowed with beak that turned sky ward. No better roasting place fer a golf ball was ever created, More over his nerves were of iron: with a drove of mosquitos attacking his face, Poke Nose" could balance the ball without culver or twitch. Thus equipped, the chances are he would soon have become the Dean Of Human-Tees had not the poor fel- low lost all his hair. For a long time the sensitive artist hid his painful secret under a wig, but ore day, while performing before a large gallery, the professional missed the ball entirely and poor Poke Noses" toupee was hurtled three hundred yards down the fiarway.
 Intensely mortified by the laugh ter of the crowd. Debussy retired from the game-broken hearted. He IS now working in a department store at tFa glove counter. where they utilize his nose as a stretcher.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE LIVES OF
 OUR HUMAN-TEES
By Bruno Laeffler

By Bruno l.aeffler
 One of the most grievous charac- ters of human nature is it's care less, almost Wanton neglect of the worlds real heroes. Consider, TOT example, how we have immortalized the memory of the little Dutch boy who stuck his thumb in the leak in the dyke and saved his native Holland. Everybody knows that his name was Justus Hoogvlet. Rut who is there who remembers the name of the true hero of that greaz episode? l refer to Hoogviet's small cousin, J, Leffingwell- Peters Drake, an English relative who was luckily spending the weekend in Holland and obligingly held the undersi4ed Dutch boy on his shoulders so that he might reach the hole which was rather high up in the dyke. His memory, alas, is unsung.
 And so it is with the great heroes of our golf-links those fearless chaps who balance golf balls on their nose for the trick-shot artists to swing at with their clubs. It is to those neglected masters of truly great profession that this article is dedicated.

MERELY A GESTURE, AND WHAT OF IT?

The next time Senator Hiram Bingham makes suggestion re- garding senatorial improvemen we do not intend to get excited about it. The senator, so 1t is stated by no less an authority than Washing ton correspondent, sometimes talks for effect. Naturally, Senator Bing- ham is not the only generalissimo of politics in Washington who ut ters thoughts thus motivated, but the senior senator from Nutm egia, considering he has not been in Washington long enough to get around without a guide book, is particularly expert at being heard.
 So we learn that "among the things taken too seriously by the press was the recent suggestion of a constitutional amendment repeal ing the provision which says of senators and representatives that for any speech or debate in either house they shall not be questioned in any other place." This was the suggestion advanced by Hiram, and Willmott Lewis in the New York World grows caustic in considering the motives which actuated the ut terance.
 "The proposal" he says, which invited them never was serlouSly advanced. Senator Bingham of Con- necticut. who is responsible for it, must have brought forth the idea with his tongue in his cheek. if that be the way in which a dignified resi- dent of New Haven does these things: He was thinking, perhaps, of the innocent bystanders-mem- hers of the diplomatic corps, nomi- nees for public offices, malefactors of great wealth and others - who

White Oak Crossing Reported Blocked for Many Minutes

The Observer has been asked to call to the attention of New Haven railroad officials a situation which is said to exist at Whites crossing on the Plainville road and which causes delay in highway traffic.
 It is reported that frequently, in the late afternoon, a long freight train stops on the crossing while the crew switches cars into or out of the sile line Of a nearby quarry. A driver whose business requires haste-the delivery of afternoon newspapers-says that recently he has been held up beyond all reason. One day recently, he complains, he was delayed for IT minutes, while on a later occasion he was held up for 20 minutes.
 Whether the situation can be inn proved. the writer is unable to say, being a pencil and typewriter en- gineer. and not railroader. But drivers who use the crossing in their daily pursuits would appreci- ate study of conditions by the rail- road authorities with view to keeping the crossing clear

And Another Old Custom Has Gone on the Rocks

Young America in Berlin Is con- town cannot appreciate patriotic enthusiasm. For these many years, it has been the practice Of youth 10 invade the precincts of the Con- eresational church and ring the bell to announce to the countryside that the gorious Fourth of July had arrived. It is an age old custom which was survived more modern July 4th taboos, an event in the life Of the town which annoyed few and which brought grins to the faces of many dwellers about to slide into slumber.
 But the venerable toling of the bell has been stopped. Its tongue has been untitled by twentieth century spirit which is gradually making Fourth of July a day of thumb twiddling for males and crocheting for females. While several stealthy figures were merging with the shad- ows of the church Wednesday evening, the hands of the law reached out and grabbed the young Narmints," declaring they were under arrest for breach Of the peace. For the first time in years the glad tone of the bell failed to ring out on the midnight air. So Tar as the remonstrants cared Fourth of July was only another day in the calender,
 Ho, hum, mebbe it's all right. But We fear for the future when some group may try to take our matches away from Us.

DISCOVERING WHY STULTZ CAME DOWN
prevail.

For the first time in the history of aviation cursory report on why plane which should have remained up but did not, resulting in the death of a famous aviator-Wilmer Stultz-did not prove satisfactory to the authorities. It was announced at the time, if memory serves, that consequence misjudged his ability and came to a sudden end. It might have been possible to let it go at that, accompanied by a few verbal philippics on the folly of stunts in flight. But that wasn't enough for sundry officials with an inquiring mind and laboring under an en- veloping cloud of suspicion. Lets hold a post-mortem." they said in effect, "and then probably we shall know more about the accident The post -mortem being held, the world was informed that, regardless of how stunty Stultz had stunted, his inrlards showed that he had been drinking intoxicants before he rose in the air.
 The inference is as plain as day, and we do not gauge the situation as needing particular emphasis. An aviator, when he goes aloft, must not think he can mix gin with gas, any more than the more plebeian autoists can do. Stultz came to his end because he had imbibed of too much intoxicating beverages before he took off.
 But what we cannot yet under stand is, how an aviator who had been drinking too much is permitted to take off at an airport. Airports, we had supposed. were operated like railroad stations, where men cloaked with authority know what's what with the pilots, put their goings and comings down on black and white, and keep a good tab on conditions physical and mechanical This be- ing the supposition, we figured all along that it would be just as diff ficult for a drunken pilot to go aloft as it would be for a drunken locomotive engineer to sit in the cab of an express train. In the latter case it simply isn't done. We had supposed the same rule held good for airplanes until this tragedy came along to emphasize the need for enforced sobriety jbehind the controls.
 Why not? Let him who would go aloft with pilot under the exces- sive influence of prohibition liquor hold up his hands. Everybody seems to have rheumatism in the arms following this question. so we im- agine the situation is unanimous.

ITALY FIGHTS CRIME WHEREVER COMMITTED

Modern Italy has shown the world what it thinks of any of it's citizens who come to the United States and indulge in crime. It is a long trip from Sicily to Brooklyn. but what an Italian citizen does in Brooklyn seems to be taken as seriously as if it had taken place in Italy. Anyway, an Italian who lived in the United States, took part in a bank hold-up in Brooklyn, and then was thought less enough to go to Palermo, Sicily. was arrested and tried in that city and sentenced to 30 years of solitary confinement. Although three men had been executed for the Brooklyn hold up, which ended fatally for a bank clerk, the Italian who fled for safety to Palermo was found guilty of complicity.
 It is unusual indeed for anyone to be tried for a crime committed in another nation. But Italy has a right to have its own laws on such matters and evidently is not depend- ing upon extradition by other coun- tries for such of it's erring citizens who may flee back to the mother land. Premier Mussolini. in the esti- nation of many. has some faults, but an unwillingness to bear down upon crime is not one of them. The way he has "cleaned up' certain crime nests in Italy is more than a caution to those of his subjects vastly in the minority-who still la bor under the delusion that crime can be made to pay.
 The action of the jury in Palermo, too, is evidence that the Italian government is sensitive at the be- havior of such of it's citizens who emigrate 10 foreign lands. As rec- ords abundantly show, Italian citi- zens are aw-abiding and good workers. But it is equally well known that in the southern part of Italy there have been communities where the record used to be differ ent-until Mussolni got tired of their customs and put through a reform that included sending the bad element into exile in droves.
 The sentence meted out to the erstwhile Brooklyn gunman when he got caught in Italy is notice by the Duce that law and order means something to Italians wherever they may be, and that if any which hap pen to be bad eggs flee back to their natiN land they will find that conditions have vastly changed for the better.

Where to Vaccinate!

Doctors Throw Up Hands
 This vaccinating business has the medicos stumped.
 In September school will start again. and before September all chii- dren in New Britain, both boys and girls. who intend to start in school will have to be vaccinated. And the problem which is confronting the learned doctor is this:
 Every year the little tots are ac- companied to his office by their fond Mamas. The fond Mamas are very definite about it. They want little Jamie or Betty or Cecelia vaccinated where it will not show in later life. And there you have it.
 Years ago." comments the doc tor, 1t was not so bad Then a girl could be vaccinated on the arm. If she aspired to evening dress, all right, it would show. but it would gowns. At all other times she wore long sleeves.
 Then came the day of the sleeve less gowns. Not to be outdone. doc 1 tors moved the vaccination to the leg. where they were almost sure 1t would not show.
 But styles are tickle thing. Soon the bathing suits and skirts be- gan to creep up and up and up until now they are little more than a ruff file. Well, again the doctors were ready to meet the crisis. Naccina- tlon was changed to the back. And the doctors folded their hands across their paunches and believed that at last they had beaten Dame Fashion at her own game.
 This year, however, with the ai- vent of the extremely low backed gowns and the sun back bathing suits. doctors again have something on their hands. Where can they vac clnate this years crop of young hopefuls to the satisfaction of their fond Mamas? There is not one place left If we try it on the soles of their feet even. l believe that the styles would change in such way it would be chic to expose the feet.
 This year, though, l believe that l shall Vaccinate on the hip. That should hold the style makers for a while at least" he concluded.

TOO MUCH ENTERPRISE NOT ALWAYS WISE

Among the myriads of newspaper men who blaze on the horizon and then depart for other fields was one whose home town was Spencer, Ind This gentleman over the cups-of coffee-often cracked his little joke about Spencer having an astonish- ingly large post office for little town in the neck of the woods. And all was due, he said. to the fact that Farm Life, a rural publication, had it's home there
 Consequently when we discovered that Farm Life had broken into the news the other day we naturally thought of the old newspaper worker.
 There is quite a moral in the situation in which the rural publica- ton is said to find itself. For years it hobhled along with a circulation of around 7Oo,ooO copies a month. It sold for 25 cents a year, five years for $1: and of course as this didn't pay for getting out the pub lication by a big margin, the in- come really came from the ads which bulked large in the paper. It must have cost several dollars a year to produce each copy, but so long as there was ten times a much space devoted to ads as to reading matter. and the latter not particular ly expensive, c, A. Taylor. the pro- prietor. and the vice. president of the Spencer bank. was not worrying about the world.
 But little more efficiency was thrown into the publication some time ago. It was decided that Farm Life could easily have more than a million circulation; and so the solicitors were put on the road and handsome premiums were offered. The circulation went above a mill lion, all right, but just now there Is no telling what will happen after the present issue. "Old Man Tay- lor," in his 70's, is said to require guardian. The bank failed in June. and the magazine went into the red so badly that the main squeeze in Spencer just now is a paper manufacturer trying to col lect what is due him, and other efficiency experts trying to decide whether bankruptcy or reorganiza- tion is the best procedure.
 A lot of people are just like that Not satisfied to let a going concern keep on going along old fashioned successful lines, they wish to ex- pand and become powerful and more prosperous. Enterprise is a good thing to possess, but not too
