WHAT ARE DOLES, ANYWAY

The Hartford Times on Saturday ran an editorial entitled Dole Not a Cure, which stated that the Brit ish dole, paid to those out ot work is not remedy for unemployment.
 On page 1 of the same editio' of our esteemed Hartford contempor- ary, however, was q story that stat ed 4,222 persons in Hartford were in the care of city charities, receiving food or payment of rent. The num- Der of families being aided, the news story stated, total S45. This high figure, fortunately, has been a reduction over previous records this year.
 The difference between doles in England and charity aid in AmeIi- ca is that the British doles are small sums in money paid th- uu- employed while in America the doles are in the nature of food and rent payments. Technically there is a difference; in practice they amount to pretty much the same thing.
 Both the British and the Ameli can system arc necessary and nei' ther is 10 be condemned. If any thing, the British system is moro methodical than the Amrlieau and reaches virtually all those in want

GUyAIEN AND BREWERlES

In Elizabeth, N J., the other day gunmen raided a brewery after prohibition agents had taken charge and killed one of the most 'incor- ruptible" of the dry agents, one who had come from Philadelphia and had attempted to enforce the law over inc heads of the New Jer- scy administrators,
 The murder was merely spec tacular effort on the part of thugs to revenge themselves for the raid Shortly after they had committed the crime and had fled the place was overrun by police and enforce rent officers. The thugs had no in- tcntion of holding the fort
 The incident proves that rackt- teers had charge of the brewery which once. we learn from the local prints, was a respectable place own ed and operated by q respectable family who in pre-dry days nanu- factured respectable product.

LATIN AMERICANS
 DO HOME SEWING
Are Best Sewing Machine Gus
 toners Of United States

Washington, Sept 22 LP)-Women of Spanish blood apparently are making much of their clothing on the sewing machine at home long after their sisters throughout the world have come to depend upon factories for their dress.
 The United States customs record on foreign trade in the human pow cred sewing machines-practically all of which entering world trade are of American origin-shows the Latin American countries are the big cus- toners.
 Last month Mexico took one-third of all United States export of hand or foot operated sewing machines; the Philippine Islands accounted for the next largest total, of 2,402 ma chimes; Chile was put down for CAB: the small country of Ecuador for 331, and every Latin American quar- ter had respectable quota con- sidering size of population represent ed by it.
 Canada, biggest customer of the United States in nearly all lines, took over BOA sewing machines of the hand type while all of Europe took but negligible numbers.

COMMANDING A JUDGE

Judge William c. Mueller of Mer- iden is to be commended for a re- cent finding that resulted from re- fusing to take the word of the as sistant prosecutor of the police court
 The judge made it known "in no uncertain manner" as the local scribes put it. that while he is on the bench the police can expect full support in their efforts to safeguard life from reckless drivers.
 Here was the case: One Frank Nozecky, a New York chauffeur was arrested after long chase which took a motorcycle officer nearly to Berlin before being over hauled.
 The assistant prosecutor came ln- to court, said it was mot very serious case" and that the driver was merely going a little faster than he should" The prosecutor re- commended the minimum penalty, a fine of s1O.
 This seemed to have pained the judge. He immediately declared he wanted some real information about the case, and got it when Sergeant Tighe the motorcycle off cer, testified. The judge then fined the chauffeur $50 and costs, which the drivers counsel appealed.
 Thus the judge had done his duty If there is one thing that judges and courts need to do it Is to uphold the hands of the police when they conscientiously try to enforce the peoples laws.

Being a friend of Congressman Tilson appears to automatically spell the opposition of MT. Rora- back. Clinton w. Gilbert, Washing ton political writer, states that J. J. Hopkins of New York was first choice for secretary of the Repub- lican national committee in it's re- cent reorganization but that U. Henry Roraback of Connecticut objected to Hopkins as a friend of Congressman Tilson, who is his foe. So Hopkins was replaced by George De B. Keim."

CAPITALIZING GOVERNORS
 STATEMENT

Connecticut Democrats cannot be blamed for being prepared to capitalize Governor Trumbull's state ment regarding having conferred with MT. Roraback regarding state policies. Everything is fair in war, love and politics; and in this in- stance the Democrats have some thing made to hand for them which can be interpreted according 10 what'll you have.
 The Democrats will say that it makes no difference whether the Governor and not MT. Roraback suggested the conferences What they will point out with all the vigor at their command is that the Governor regarded the chairman of the party as a necessary person for conferences on state policies; and that M. Roraback unquestion- ably was well satisfied with the Governors thoughtfulness in calling upon him to decide important mat ters of state.
 It might oe pointed out by dili- gent Democrats, too, that Senator Fess, national chairman, will often enter the portals of the White House for conferences with Presi- dent Hoover, if he has not already done so; but the distinction will be made that Senator Fess goes tr re for advice, not to give it.
 In Connecticut, the Democrats will say, the situation is reversed.

NOT ENOUGH RATS!

a correction to it's previous answer to the question: If 17 cats kill r rats in r minutes, how many rats will 100 cats kill in 100 minutes? .? The answer was that 100 cats will kill 100 rats in 100 minutes, This was an error. The rate is one rat per cat per IT minutes; therefore one cat will kill 1-17 of a rat in one minute. and 100 cats in 10o minutes, will kill 100 times 1-l7, times 100, or 5SS and 4-17 rats.

MODERN TOWN BOOMING


 Perhaps you have never heard of the town of Canora. That would not be surprising. The town cannot be found on most maps, but according to the Canora Public Service cor poration, which has it's principal office in Dover, Delaware, the town of Canora has future, and plenty of it.
 Do not get the impression, how ever, that Canora is down in Della ware. It is situated thousands of miles away, tucked within the prai- rie folds of the province of Sas- : katchewan, at the junction of two railroads, one of which is the new line constructed to Hudson Bay. Manifestly, according to the pollyan- na prospectus of the company, Can ora is destined to be the gateway to the new rail-water line to Europe via the Hudson Bay.
 The rail line from Canora to I Churchill, where the railroad meets the bay, is only 690 miles l about as far as from New York to Toledo; yet Canora is 159 miles fur i ther north than Regina. It is 300 miles further west than Winnipeg, i heretofore regarded as the hub of the western Canadian trade wheel. Canora has only 2,200 people to- day, or at least that was it's popu- | lation quite recently. It threatens to vie with Winnipeg as trade center, and the Chamber of Com merce and commercial institutions in Winnipeg are quite alarmed. If | Canora makes good it's future 10 only partial extent it may be the fastest growing town on the Ameri- can continent
 It is scarcely worth while for real estate spectators to attempt | to get in on the ground floor, how ever, as that has already been done l People living everywhere own lots extending for dozens of miles around Canora.
 Back in 1901 Regina, capital oi | Saskatchewan, had a population ol ] 2,249. In 1926, at the time Of the last Canadian census, it had popu' lation of approximately 62,0oO = nearly as large as New Britain. Anf at the time the Canadian Pacific was built the barren" provinces O. | Alberta and Saskatchewan were | considered utterly worthless.
 The New Hudson Bay railroad i' destined to play an important role in future world commerce and vii reduce the tonnage of grain cx' ports through the East. The outle' of grain to Europe heretofore ha' been by way of the St. Lawrence in summer and St. John and Hall fax in winter, But from the mo ment when it dawned upon far sighted men that Hudson Bas Wa' available for grain shipments part of the year, and the rail lint to that inland sea was started. the route through eastern Canada grew less in importance. Not even th' completion of the st. Lawrence waterway, if that ever evenuates will compete in the shipment 0
 grain with Hudson Bay, which i 1000 miles shorter to Europe.
 It is a pleasure to read th&t some
 where a boom Is booming.
