 Macelya fled but was arrested la ter by Constable Henry F. Corf of North Haven.
 All of the men were said to be employees of creosoting plant in North Haven.

employment opportunities of the class Of unskilled labor Involved then by all means let there be more of it than has been the case lately.
 The condition. however. is not a new one. Mayor Paonessa, in his last annual message, referred to 1t, and that was at time when no thought was evident in the minds Of anyone that industrial conditions were less favorable The mayors exact words, they appeared in the printed mes- sage, were as follows:
 For the past year conditions in our industrial city have been fair from a standpoint of employment, and nearly everyone with a mechan- ical inclination has been kept busy. Our problem of unemployment has been, and is. chiefly with unskilled workers. Many of these are bread winners of large families, few or them with savings accounts, and none of them so situated, financial ly, as to be able to carry on without work.
 If it is possible for the city to do so without getting into serious financial difficulties, l believe mu- nicipal loans should be floated to provide work during periods of seri- ous strain. I am also heartily in favor of a living wage for every worker, and feel tht the city payroll should furnish the standard of wages
 These words of the mayor, uttered last winter, apply equally today. As suming that he has not changed his opinion about the advisa bility of municipal loans during periods of serious strain, it seems apropos at present 10 bring that up.

STABLE BUYING POWER

There have been rumors that or ders for some high-priced automo- piles have been cancelled as a re- suit of prospective purchasers losing a wad of paper profits in the late bull stock market which turned bear.
 There are also stories that Mrs. Soandso figured on buying a new fur coat and that as result of losses she has decided not to make the purchase.
 And so 1t goes down the line, the rumors always involving the luxury trades.
 This is a vast country. however, with potentialities which few pause to consider. It Is not generally real ized for instance, that if all the makers of automobiles selling for more than s2,00O were to go out of business entirely the result would scarcely make a dent in the business Of the country. Proof:
 Of our entire automobile produc- ton 72.9 per cent are In cars cost ing less than s1,00o; 22S per cent is in cars between s1,O0O and s2,000; only 5.5 per cent is in cars between s2,000 and s3,000; and only one per cent is in cars costing over $3,0Oo.
 1 AS matter of fact, a company making high priced cars has official ly announced that it's sales in the New York area since the stock mar ket break have fallen off only two per cent. The dent this makes in the businesaof the country Is practically nil.
 The same rule holds good pretty much down the line. The buying power of the country lies in the ability 10 purchase the lower viced goods, not the higher priced lux tries.
 It might be said, of course. that buying power in some of the indus trial districts has decreased slight l ly. It is well not to regard isolated instances as a yardstick for the en- tire country, however. Throughout | buying power was low in certain im- portant industries-in coal, agricul- l tural and textile districts, for in- i stance. The fact that there was a minimum buying power in these dis tricts did not interfere with the prosperity of tLc country as a whoIc. ! Both textiles and agriculture is by way of improving during the next year, and these probably will more than balance lowered buying power in other fields.
 As the buying power increases in industries which for half a dozen years were able to purchase only their minimum requirements, the effect inevitably creeps to other in- dustries. Let farmers begin buying tools with which to make much needed repairs and the hardware in- dustry will be just as well off as if the building industry were booming. And that. by the way, is something which is very likely to happen.
 President Hoover has done yeo- mans service in stimulating a cor rect mental attitude throughout the country. After all, we have about the kind of trade conditions that we think we ought to have, and d gen. eral dosomething attitude such as the President favors is best calcu- lated to insure tangible prosperity.

Of the fountain springs Of sthe world
and not Of Q lowland delta---the Indus
being vaguely implied as the Paradise
River, while the four divided streams
have always been associated with the
Ganges, the Nile, the Tigris and the
Euphrates-the four great world rivers
Of the ancients.
"But how was the Indus divided into
these distant waterfalls? How were the
four world streams Topped OF from the
parent stream which Aristotle calls the
father Of all the rivers?' Not, Of course,
by one river directly jumping into four,
geographical monstroSity, but by one
river slowly separating into four. The
inspired writer means to imply that the
river Of paradise was so lofty and vo-
luminous that, even after watering the
garden, 1t could still give birth to the
four greatest rivers they had ever
heard of-inSinuating coSmic or pre-
historic formation. The one united
river splits up into four divided streams
not by direct effuSion, but by the grad
ual carving out Of several watersheds,
the springs bubbling UP ct lower levels
by artesian undercurrents.
"Now in prehistoric times India was
connected with Africa by the continent
of Lemuria, the Indus as well as the
EuphrateS swinging all around Arabia
into the Nile region and the Red Sea,
while the Ganges may have followed a
similar course by way of the Malabar
current. This is no fairy tale, but is
positively demanded by the best biolo-
gists to connect the Indo-African fauna
by q land passage. In fact, the peaks

River Of Paradise flows through the
highest lake of the highest mountains
of the world--the Manasarowar Lakes,
and in Its middle Is planted the Tree
of Life and the Tree Of knowledge.

Seals Prove Connection.
what is more important, the newly
discovered Indo-Sumerian seals. to-
gether with the Blau monuments, have
proved beyond q question that the STU
merians Of Babylonia brought their
ideas of a mountain Paradise from
their highland home. thus connecting
Central Asia with Babylonia, the Indus
with the Euphrates region. This Is an
epoch making discovery, for it located
the Land of Edin' actually found on
the Haapa seals, without q shadow Of
doubt, in upper Cashmir, with Its de-
lectable mountains. Here was the
'Parada' or paradise of the Persians
the Hedenesh of the Hindus. or the
Gam Heden of the Parsees. From this
point our first ancestors spread the
worship Of nu-Yah, the most high God,
to all parts of the earth.
with such a vivid recollection of
Eden and its celestial glories, 1t Is not
surprising that the story travelled
through the length and breadth Of the
planet. China has her Himalayan
Paradise, and so has Japan, and both
speak Of the loss of immortality through
the rejection of heavenly and the con-
sumption of earthly food And when
the early Adamites had drifted down to
Chaldea and the Persian Gulf, they car
ried their Paradise-lore with them and
called their new elysium 'Gan-Edin.'
There is also Eden in the Lebanon,
in Northern Syria, in Southern Arabia
and in North Africa. But in Chaldea
the story of Paradise Lost was never
forgotten and in the beautiful Nimrod-
epic the hero plunges through the
waters of death--the Persian Gulf
and finds the tree of life in lofty land
of rivers and waterfalls. And just as in
Egypt the Pharaoh goes after death

purified by the gods who hold in their
hands two jars from which the Niles
