THE VOLATILE AUTO
 INDUSTRY

After haNlng grown to enormous proportions the automobile indus try of the United States remains one of our most volatile of indus tries. When anything goes wrong il is likely to be felt in the automo- bile industry first of all. and because Of its enormous notifications the ef- feet IS likely to be felt throughout the entire country in a very short time, affecting the peace and tran quiliity of us all
 It was thus in 1921 and it has been the same in 1929 and 1880. In the former period, 1t will be remem- bered. the first suggestion Of a post war deflation came in the automo- pile industry; and when business noted what vas transpiring it sat back and tried not to rock the boat
 Pretty much the same thing occur Etu III 4sI5 ana IS occurring HOW. II seems that the automobile re- mains at least Is per cent a luxury conveyance and when a slight reac- ton Tn trade comes along many citizen concludes to run his car at least another year instead Of trading 1T in and buying another. A pro- portion decide to sell and get out of the automobile driving field for term. The result today is that auto mobile production has fallen of around 3o per cent.
 That means a reaction all over the country, and so far as Te can dis cover, 1t is the chief barometer of business conditions Of the times. When the automobile industry be- gins picking up again, which is like ly to be ny fall, one can rest assured that the ccuntrys business condi- tions are on the mend The automo- bile industry will be the first to in- dicate such an advance. as it is usu- ally the drst to predict decline.
 Meannhile the marking time process continues with a great deal Of outdoor work during the summer months needed to tide over the situ- ation. II must be confessed that there has been great deal more foresight exercised during the pres ent trade slackenlns than during previous slow-ups and on the whole industriaists and municipalities are in a better position to seize their opportunltie. when they arrive.
 After all, things have been worse. Those who wildly remember the rough business conditions in the nineties. the smesh-up in trade dur ing 1907. and the drop in 1921 will agree that what ue are having is mild in comparison.
 AS far Wall Street, it usually goes nutty on the slightest provocation anyway. The stock market always overemphasizes an economic condi- ton. When times are good lt over speculates. and uhen they are below normal it over-does pessinsim. The result IS what ve have been read ing about.

 operation of independent competi- ton. competition which is always destructive and can only weaken the transportation structure of the New Haven as a whole"
 Our guess IS that the New Haven will lose its case before the I. C. C.. despite what all it's favorable wit nesses declare. It cannot be the busi- ness of the I C. C. to assist a rail- road in stifling waterborne competi- ton, and 1t IS doubtful whether the l, (.

It will be remembered that a few weeks 80 one bank in New Hamp- shire failed for no other reason than that 1t had invested heavily in west ern land mortgages, New Hanp- shire, 1t IS understood Is the only New England state permitting such investments in high ratio, and the particular bank in New Hampshire was the only one ln that state which had been hard pressed as result of such investments.
 Tn the Northwest where land conditions have been very touchy. frozen assets have caused q large number of country banks 10 close their doors; and the same has been true in the South Consequently, in rhs words or MT Young, We can nor escape the fact that in certain localities the unit system has brok- CT down"
 To the New England mind the satisfactory way out Of the difficulty would be for more diversified bank ins ln such sections Of the country. Bur 1t might be replied that in section wholly given over to agrlcul- t-re there IS TO other possible re- course except for bank to do busi- ness with farmers

City Must Plan Carefully on Examination of LabOrcrs

In the event that the common council approves the idea Of phy- slcal examinations for all present and prospective employes in the park. public works and water de partments. thought should be given the employment Of one more physi- clans to do the work on basis of a fixed salary rathel than for regu- lar fees for each patient examined. Otherwise, the costs may be expecl- ed 10 run into the thousands of dol lars. T. is estimated that there are 500 employes on the payrolls Of these departments, about 100 Of whom are on a constantly changing list. these being the worhmen en- gagged for one out of four weeks in conjunction with the unemployment relief program, This means that ln the course Of q month. the city has had coo workmen. If il is found necessary to pay doctors B. the regular fee. for each Of these men the cost will be s3,0oo,
 When the city was in the throes Of q smallpox epidemic several
 years ago, the department of health

 on q fec basis
 f it is possible for the city to en- ter into agreements with some phy- slcian Of day iaborers for q stipulat- ed weekly salary men returning 10 jobs after an absence Of several weeks could probably be sent back Tor second Or third examinations without adding to the clty's costs. Compensation insurance has been spoken of. but since the premium is figured on past experiences. and those of New Britain have not been
 conducive to low rates, il is not eX- pected that this idea will be taken seriously
 Action on this matter is scheduled for the next council meeting. Mean while the many angles Of the propo- sition are being studied and inter esting discussion may be expected.

 When you attend the next school entertainment, applaud the children because it pleases them and inspires them to greater things. But don't forget to stop on the way out and thank the teacher for the part she has played in your child's progress.

New York. June @1.-Perhaps the house with the most unusual decor ations in q town Of mad mansions Is that Of Robert Chanler the cele- hrated artist. The structure is one Of the out-omded double brick affairs nestlng m the isolated serenity of East 18th street. From the sidewalk, t IS merely another house.
 Chanler is hins self q psychi1 drama. magnificentIy performed. He has an eccentric brother who ss caping from I sanitarium was de- ciared sana in Virginia This broth CT married the former Amelie Rlvps and n hen Boo Chanler married tn song bird CayalerIa his broth4t c1bled: Who's looney nov?'
 Cnanler is known in the lon ,th avenue art and literary circles as Sheriff Bob He IS especially noted for his marvellous lacquer screens, mostly of Chinese designs One screen of giraffes amid silver birches, 10 feet high and feet wide vas purchased from Chanler by France and hangs in the LuXem- bourg.
 His screens Of gold and silver sell for as high as s15.000. Yet 1t IS his home that excites most comment. Like life itself. it abounds in dis harmonies. The walls and ceilings are. splotched with mandrils. ser ptnts. devil fish. owls. lynXes, fish. cranes, elephants, mongoose, CO., bras. centipedes and scorpions.
 Neiehbors call II The Crazy House" Cnanler's bedroom has a bed seven feet wide and ten fest long. He IS himself giant of a man with a wild mop Of snowy curls and deep set penetrating eyes. An impedlment in his drawing speech accentuates natural dlffl- dence and he seems to bend under the might Of unseen cerebration, At one time he was Sheriff of Duchess County and appointed Richard Harding Davis and other literati and artists as deputies His study is in vivid red and wild or ange stripes from which he rc- ceives vibrations. Upon the ceiling are the ugly footprints Of giant.
 In the drawing room the piano cover is zebra skin. There are oth- CT oddities too numerous to mention, Yet Chanler withal is regarded as one Of the truly great Americaa artists. He works for millionaire 2 when the mood seizes him. But not until And is beloved as a charming, loyal friend.

Connecticut so far is one of the states with a low gasoline tax-oniy two cents gallon. The effort in 1929 to make it three cents failed, but that isn't saying it is doomed to the same fate in 1881. especially when it IS pointed out that so many states have higher gasoline taxes.

LITTLE RHODY IN A BIG BOOK

u iA- INIiob1 l-> n b1I booh
 Direct from the State Of Rhode Island and the Providence Planta- tons. through the state bureau of in- formation and office Of the secretary Of state. comes to hand big book telling all about Little Rhody.
 This Book of Rhode Island IS worthy or the finest blurb that liter. ary artists are able to give it. It out classes all other similar books which have ever Uended their way into the sanctum. When the officials in charge Of the smallest state in the Union decided to get out this book they decided 10 show al! contenders in the with pride industry how 1t could be done if the appro- priarlon 70 print the volume was large enough. The Legislature, we presume, provided sufficiently large appropriation and the writers and the printers did the rest
 Incidentally Connecticut. if it ever decides to get out book telling the world about the Slories Of Nutmegia, can do no better than turn to the Book Of Rhode Island and use it as model
 Here IS book oe 500 pages. printed on the finest possible paper -douotless manufactured in Rhode Island-and "protusely illustrated Is mild term. There are exquisite hal5 tone illustrations on every page. plth artistic borders surround ing the reading matter The state 8 history recreation. industry and agriculture are discussed in detal. and entertaingly, and the pictures that go with every story leave no doubt Of the impression made upon the interested reader
 Come to think Of it. Rhode Island ls in class by ltseE The smallest state has about everything that 8 state can have. Its industries are world famed it's population more dense than in Belgium, which IS the most densely populated country in Europe; it's mercantile life fairly 3lzzles its chief city could be a big its smaller cities would be consider ed large in most other states; de- spite its smallness, il has room for agriculture; it has a beautiful ln- ] dentation from the sea T Narrazan- sett Bay; it skirts the ocean; and in addition 10 these it's sons and daugh, ters have figured highly in Ameri- can history and still hold their oun with the best.
 T. IS impossible to so into detail regarding the astonishing wealth ot information contained in the Book O. Rhode Island Such task would require several newspaper pages We merely feel like sitting back and conEratuiatlnE the state on what il has accom- plished, both actually and n the excellent manner in which these accomplishment are presented ID this volume.
 Anyone who thinks New Eng!anc Or any of its states are "decadent' or on the down grade need onl! 10 look into one such volume. If any such claptrap were true there would be TO such volumes Only ar abounding faith in the past, th' present and the future can stimulate state to provide such an outsand lng chronicle of achievement.
