HOW YOU CAN HELP TO END SLUMP

Roger W. Babson, the sage of economics. got a good one off his chest the other day when he said that the quickest way to speed up business recovery is for everyone to make a strong effort to pay his bills.
 Remarks MT. Babson:
 T have before me Bradstreets report on collection conditions in AZ leading cities in the Unted States. In no case are collections reported as being good. In four cities they are only fair and in 3S cities they are given as slow or poor Re member that if collections are slow ed down 33 per cent the effect is just the same as sending one-third of our money and credit out of the country, or burying it in hole in the ground. If checks were mailed today for only one-half of the un- paid bills even ten days old the circulation of money would be speeded up tremendously and bus mess would at once feel the stim- ulating effects"
 That holds true of New Britain as everywhere else. It has been said that most people owing bills are well able to pay them. as the poor or indigent do not usually obtain credit in the first place-except perhaps at the corner grocers.
 There is too much of a tendency in times like the present for people and firms with money-that is to say, with good credit-to simply hold back paying bills as long as possible. Nothing in particular is gained, and much is lost in view of the stimulating effect all around if bills were paid promptly, and these good effects inevitably would return to the bill payers.
 AS a means of getting things back on a good footing nothing would do as much good at the present mo- ment as paying bills, even if it takes some of the surplus to do it.
 Then we would begin with d new clean slate and the money paid out would speedily circulate back through the increased business thus stimulated.

dismissed in police court yesterday after he promised to leave Philadel- phia in an hour.
 I wasn't promise hard to exact because the gangster, by his own ad- mission, much preferred almost any other place than Philadelphia.
 New York police, for whom it was believed he was arrested. asserted they did not want the gangster for anything. Previously it was reported he was wanted for questioning in the disappearance of Harry Western. roadhouse proprietor, who vanished about the time Dimond sailed for Europe in a trip that proved any, thing but comfortable.
 He was denied admittance to Eng land and arrested by German police, who placed him aboard the freighter Hanover and sent him back to- ward the United States.

THOSE SCHOLARSHIPS

Various organizations here and elsewhere make it a point to pre- sent a scholarship to some deserv- ing boy or girl. Some decide on the scholarship winners through com- petitions others survey the field and come to a conclusion on q basis of past studies and marks.
 Once again the New Britain Yale club has set it's mark of approval upon a young man who is deeme d worthy of it's annual scholarship at Yale
 Graduates of the high school who qualify for these scholarships must meet rigid requirements both as to high marks, character and morality.
 The stimulation and encourage ment that these scholarships pro- vide is beyond computation. Ambi- tious youth in New Britain should constantly attune themselves to the possibility of winning one of them. These opportunities of reward probably will continue indefinitely.

LOUISIANA GLFANINGS

Louisiana is long way from Nutmega and possibly we are only slightly interested in what occurs there. Of course, when Governor Huey P. Long wallops somebody on the jaw. as he did recently, We perk an eyebrow and wonder at what kind of governor he happens to he. Up to a few days ago only the capers of the states chief ex- ecutive or the ravages of Missis- sippi flood could get us aroused over Louisiana.
 But the other day the state leg islature put through monster road improvement program-subject to the ratification of the voters in November - and incidentally clear. cd Governor Long of all impeach- ment charges filed against hin last year. It was said that the hig city politicians-who opposed the sovernor-and the county politi- cans got together. When that hap pens nothing can stop the avalanche.
 Thus we find that the state pro- poses to issue bonds totallng s100,- o00, 900, which are to pay for i'm proved highways, port improve ments and refunding of certain previous debts.

PLENTY OF WATER"
 FOR BOSTON

While Connecticut contested the right of Massachusetts to the water shed emptying into the Swift and Ware rivers on the score that such action would reduce the flow of water down the Connecticut river, the Bay State went right ahead with it's job of expanding the Metropol- itan water district of Boston.
 This was regarded as rather amaz- ing at the time; but no injunc- tions were issued and the work is just so much nearer completition.
 How satisfied Boston is over the situation can be evidenced from the remarks made by the Boston Her aid over the progress of the work and how the announcement the other day that the Wachusett res ervoir was at the lowest level in it's history only received few lines in the newspaper. Nobody was alarmed ed-the great Swift Ware project was in the otfing and everything was bound to be all right in due time. That was the popular feeling and the newspapers handled the news of the low reservoir level accord ingly.
 Explaining the whyfore of this public and newspaper attitude, the Boston Herald continues:
 Foresight of the state Legislature of 1927 in preparing for just such an emergency is the reason for the lack of alarm at the present time. By next March. the twelve foot tun- nel through solid rock from Wa chusett to Colebrook will be all lined with cement and ready to carry the waters of the Ware river into the huge reservoir. This will add 3O.000,0OO gallons a day to the supply,and should be ample until the entire S60,000.00o project is complete and the waters of the Swift river are brought into the reservoir. Only a prolonged drought, the like of which Massachusetts never experienced. lasting over the next two years, will bring danger of a water famine.
 Connecticut citizens, reading the foregoing, can apply the proverb that possession is nine points of the law. Connecticut manufactured a legal case while Massachusetts provided a substantial beginning in getting the water.

RUSSIAN WHEAT PRICES

If Russia, as is being reported, IS offering to sell wheat at ten cents a bushel below the world prices that is simply too bad. But what can be done about it? Russia has plenty of land, it can be made to grow much wheat, efforts are be- ing made by the Soviet state 10 cultivate vast areas by the help of modern American farm machinery and American experts, and there we are.
 Secretary Hyde says the Russians cannot deliver the grain they agreed to deliver in their trading in futures in Chicago, and says proof of this is that the nation has been ratoning food among its people. That, however, is only Secretary Hyde's opinion. It may be, and is possible, that the rationing of food progresses in order to have more grain to export so as to obtain more money with which to carry out the five-year plan of industrial and agricultural enlargement.
 Some of our editors are suspic- ous of the Hydian campaign, say ing he has considerable to prove and wishing he would make a start at it. The Waterbury Republican, for instance, makes the following two good points:
 q. The average turnover in wheat in the Chicago market is 50,000,00O or 60,000,000 bushels daily; in that huge total the short selling of the Russan agences could scarcely have any effect . There must be other factors winch have already had a depressing influence. Short selling induces a depressing psychology but it cannot actually force prices down. The best one can do at present is to keep an open mind; this may be a real plot, and it may be only more Red hysteria.'
 Nothing in the Grain Futures Trading act prohibits short selling or trading in futures, by either domestic Or foreign interests. The Caraway bill to prohibit futures sales of grain or cotton by any person not intending to deliver or receive the actual commodity was defeated in the Senate on Feb. IA, 1929, by vote of 27 to A.. This total would indicate that a consid derable number of senators from Senator Hyde's party voted against the Caraway bill. Senator Caraway being, by the way, Dem ocrat.
 The Grain Futures Act in force requires that boards of trade must prevent the manipulation of prices or the cornering of any grain by their dealers or operators; accordingly the Chicago Board of Trade must prevent short selling of wheat by Soviet Russia which demonstrably manipulates prices-note that such manipulation must be demon strated."
 That is the milk in the cocoanut.

New York, Sept 24-Neighbor- hood saloons with the swinging doors, mirrors in curlicued frosti- ness, intimate back rooms and other old time trappings are as plentiful along the lower East Side as luxuri- ant whiskers. On such streets as Forsythe, Allen, Mulberry and FL ridge there is one or more to the block
 Their easy camaradere is playing havoc with push -the-button and ask-for Louis basement places up- town Downtown there is no peep hole scrutiny. Customers step in and right up to the bar where old time barkeeps with gates-ajar col lars and shirt stud "sparklers" in quire: Name the poison, gents?"
 They have the informality of the Paris bistro. Mustaches dip into foaming mugs, ladies rest tootses on brass rails and there is the cluckety- -cluck of the dice box Some have four bartenders. At the end of the bar, too, is the familiar twirling caster with cloves, orange peel, cinnamon bark and coffee.
 The rattle of cocktail shakers and the blink of touching glasses can be heard in the street. Camouflage is utterly abandoned. In some places it is possible to see under the door the half-legged lineup at the bar. South of Canal street, the wide open bar has the flourish of 20 years ago.
 The saloons operate with a dump supply" Liqors are in pitch CTS so-at the look outs warning buzz-it may be quickly poured in to handy zines draining out into waiting receptacles next door. The supply is thus not lost in a raid and padlocking evidence is frustrated.
 There are employees, derbed gen. tlemen remindful of former bar flies, who keep supplies at proper quantity. They act as runners and when a special supply runs low, go several blocks away for single bottle of the required stuff. Some nave CacneS as lar away as all Ill., nocent Bronx flat.
