Loughran admires Gene Tunney for
what he did to uplift the profession
that was sneered at and despised by
the majority of all communities just
a few years ago. But he believes
that Gene left the task unfinished
and he has delegated himself to go
on where Gene left off.
His first step in that direction was
his sincerity as a champion; his
readiness To defend his title when
ever called upon, rather than to
shrink behind some excuse or other
and allow the permitted months of
championship holding slip by with
out having to defend his title.
He has fought and defended
his title more times within a

Golf has many unusual
complications, but perhaps the
most extraordinary is the scor-
ing for best ball matches.
In the Bannockburn.Argyle team
match yesterday at Bannockburn,
John r. Lynch, OF Argyle, defeated
Leo f. Pass. OF Bannockburn, 2 and
1, while Tom Belshe, OF Argyle, won
from Harry Krauss, / up. Yet, the
Argyle players lost to the best ball
Of the Bannockburn pair, who
grouped a IS against 20 for the Ar
gyle golfers.
: The Bapnockburn team had a best
bali of 32 on the second nine, three
better than their opponents. This
80 was due chiefly to some fine
work by Harry Kfauss, although
Leo Pass contributed birdie on
the long 462-yard No. 10 hole.
Belshe had Krauss up at the
end of the first eight holes, yet

lap going to the seventeenth

AIRPORT INVESTIGATION

In spite of all the conversation there has been regarding the need for a municipal airport not much progress has been made to date The most recent committee appointed that by Mayor Paonessa-appare ly is to begin operations from the ground up. The five members of the committee are not only to inspect sites but to determine the cost and come to a conclusion regarding the need for such a public service In this city.
 In Bristol the latter point was de- cided by a referendum. It perhaps is too much to expect referendum on the airport subject in this city; and as a matter of fact, they are dan gerous to projects requiring the ex- penditure of money and not directly 1 benefiting everybody. That is why perhaps, the plan was defeated in Bristol. In New Britain, where the representatives of citizens in City | Hall are considered sufficiently able to settle all public questions without referendums, the airport project ha: a better chance of fructifying.
 The mayor is well sold on the air | port scheme because such an addi ,, tion to the city's equipment will b. 1 numbered among his achievement
 while in office This is natural am i bition. The city under Paonessa vii
 either obtain an airport or come very close to it.

so much about welfare legislation. Nine times out of ten that is the only type of legislation being con- sidered or passed that is worth its salt. This nation will never be so far set in it's ways as to refuse to pass legislation that can be shown to be of undoubted benefit to the masses. and it makes no difference what particular organization favors it at the time.
 One of the actual troubles in all the states is that genuine welfare legislation is harder to pass than a host of other types of legislation that benefit not the people as a whole, but specially interested parts of the people.
 The National Industrial Council seems to be against all welfare legislation; we are in favor of much of it. So we fail to be stampeded into a scare over what will happen to the nation if more of it is passed. the Councils fervid propaganda notwithstanding.
 Progressive legislation that really benefits the people needs to be en- couraged. We intend to do our bit in such encouragement. The N. I. c. is biased in the other direction, which is its privilege; but we are very con- fident indeed that in the course of the passing years we shall be on 1 the winning side and the N. ]. C. will continue to send out gloomy | forebodings about the parlous state | of the legislative machineries. Most Of the newspapers having our reading acquaintance seem tc 1 feel the same way about most wei,
 fare legislation.

POST OFFICE ARRANGEMENTS

New Britain was fortunate in possessing q site for the addition to the post office, the construction of which is soon to get under way. Not so in Waterbury, where the Repubh- can or that city complains that the postal representatives, are making a second visit to the city in an en- dcavor to obtain realty at a price the government can afford to pay. The government runs it's business in it's own way. An appropriation Is made 10 enlarge post office or construct a new one. and then that's that. The cost of the site and everything must fit in with the ap- propriaton. Where that is difficult, as in Waterbury, there is delay that gratcs on the nerves Of the civic boosters.
 The logical move in Waterbury Is for the postal department to con- ! struct new federal building on the site Of the present structure. but en- larging 1t by the purchase of ad. joining property. This will need ar additional appropriation, The gov.

IT'S STILL WITH US

It is said that the police are re- luctant to raid premises for liquor unless there is a good chance to ob- tain the necessary evidence. That is why some raids do not take place. It seems to be only the most thought less and reckless speakeasies that run afoul of the law.
 If the court did not require genuine evidence instead of suppo- sition, beliefs and what often passes for evidence among laymen this con- dition would be different. In spite of this the police seem to do fairly well, but the day when not drop of home brew is for sale in the state seems to be far distant. The cops do the best they can under the circum- stances and occasionally somebody is unfortunate and is set back 10 the extent of tidy fines.
 But most commonly it is the customers who feel the sting of the police wrath. The cases of inebriety that continually come forward in po- lice court, with their trail of suffer- ing for family innocents, prove that conditions have not greatly changed since the old days.

CONNECTICUT'S 500 NEW LAWS AND WELFARE LEGISLATION

In area Connecticut, as has been declared a thousand times, is "a small state" Yet Connecticut passed 500 laws through the medium of the 1929 Legislature, and stands sixth in the galaxy of states leading in the paasage of new legislation.
 The record. down to Connecticut. is: North Carolina, LILA; California. 1,11O; Pennsylvania. 9G4; Tennessee, 933; Florida, 300; Connecticut, 800. At the bottom of the list stands Mississippi, where the state fathers found it worth while to pass only three new laws this year Everyone will agree, perhaps, that Mississippi is not as well regulated as Connecti- cut in this law business,
 Some very important states, popu- 1ation and industries considered, got along with the passage Of much few CT laws than Connecticut For in- stance, there was Maryland with 52o. Missouri with 2S3, New Jersey with 379, and others too numerous to mention"
 In 43 out Of the 48 states having had legislative sessions this year, 16,921 new laws were passed, This of course does not include the laws enacted by Congress. Remarks Michael J Hickey secretary Of the National Industrial Council, which compiled this latest compendium of mass production of new laws:
 Tt is earnestly 10 be hoped tha' President Hooycrs Law Enforce ment Commission will not fail tt give careful thought 10 our annua and biennial rush for making new laws in large volume. Long an, close observation leads 10 the con cluson that so long as we cOntinu to indulge our American passion 10 mass production Of legislation, " cannot hope 10 attain or reStor general public respect for law, no expect effective law enforcement.
 Tt is not the fault alone of ou lawmakers, nor our political sys tens. It is mainly due to misguide individuals, groups, societies for c against this or that, who foolishly 0 maliciously endeavor to solve real o alleged social, political or "conomi differences or issues, by legislativ flats"
 The National Industrial Councl however, seems unduly alarme abou, the passage of welfare lcgisi; tion. II Eloats over the defeat ( certain such legislation. includin the refusal Of the Connecticut Legi' lature 70 pass the bill for complet reyision Of the educational code.

Domestication also implies a certain amount of care from the species protection from severe weather, from wild animals, and from one another. and under which it may be obtained. | Domestic animals are also trained | to some extent and are confined or kept within bounds, and, in general, | their activities and lives are under control, as distinguished from the freedom and the self-dependence of the wild state.

This rul' is not to apply in case of wilc pitch"
