THE FIFTH DISTRICT

Scarcely had news been received in Washington regarding the death of Congressman James r. Glynn of the fifth Connecticut district than Republican party managers began speculating about the result if a special election is held to fill the vacancy. It is feared that the result in the second Massachusetts district will be duplicated, and for some what the same reasons.
 The vote for congressman in the fifth district in 1928 was Glynn, 43.- SSe, Mascolo, 59.354. This was close margin, and the influence Of Governor Smith unquestionably had hand in the totals. The district in cludes Litchfield county and the towns of Southbury. Middlebury, Waterbury, Wolcott. Oxford, Nausa- tuck, Prospect, Beacon Falls, Sey- mour, Ansonia and Derby in New Haven county. It is typical ger rymandered' district. enough of the normal Republican vote in the coun- try district. being used to counter act the Democratic vote in the cities.
 Representative Granfield was elected iii the normal Republican second Massachusetts district through q combination of anti-pro- hibition sentiment and the popular reaction against depressed industrial conditions. The same conditions ap- ply to the fifth Connecticut district.
 The special election, when It comes. will likely gain national at tention as another barometer Of the trend Of the times. politically speak ing. The Republicans, too, will be hard put to find another candidate personally as popular as Mir. Glynn.

WHAT DO THEY STAND FOR?

The candidates for civic positions are bobbing up quite lively, but one point is not sufficiently stressed by the candidates. That is. what do they really stand for?
 Those who are running for re- election readily say that they stand 'on their record" This is not likely 10 be very illuminating. however, considering that the general public lacks the memory to know much about the individual records. There are too many minor public ser wants for the public 10 keep close tab on the individual records. Some of them, in the case of the moro important offices, have records that are known in a general way: or at least, the general policy of the or flee holders is known. But most ot the candidates could be of service 10 the public by giving d succinct declaration Of what they really in tend 10 do if elected.
 Mr. Bartlett, in his declaration of candidacy, has come closer to an- nouncing a policy than any other candidate to date; but when one examines his statement one finds that his thesis is built entirely around the word economy We have never known of a candidate who would not wholeheartedly sub- scribe 10 the exercise of economy before a primary or an election. A blanket economy statement, indeed. could be written and signed by all the candidates. It is the most ln- definite policy imaginable. seeing that it has been worked to death hv candidates ever since the Repub- lie started.

LONGER TRAINING FOR
 TEACHERS

Adding another year to the training period for elementary teachers should produce better teachers, although so far as we arc aware there have been no com- plaints that present teachers are in adequately trained. The object of the change in the normal sch . ] system of the state, therefore, is not to be confounded with | desire to meet the demand for better trained teachers, but to curtail their number, at least temporarily.
 Women, it is stated in the state announcement regarding the change, are remaining in elemen- tsry teaching positions for a long CT period, due possibly to increased salary schedules and better work ing conditions; and there is a sur- plus of elementary teachers in the state totallinE zoo. The latter item. we are inclined to infer, is the de. termining factor in the change 10 a three-year training course.
 Even more efficient in controlling the supply is the method of restrict ins applications to the normal schools 50 as to not glut the teach ing market in the state. In New Haven last year, it is stated, only half of those who applied for the normal school course were accep- ted, and in New Britain the situ- ation is reported to have been about the same"
 It evidently is not the intention of the State Board Of Education to turn out 50 many elementary school teachers as 10 induce them to trek to other states for employment. That would be the inevitable devel- opment if the surplus became too large.

unsteady as he perched on the soda fountain seat. His derby was slightly askew, his eyes dazed He leaned confidentally across the counter and murmured something to the clerk. Asked to repeat, he finally managed to raise his voice to an audible pitch and asked for a dose of aromatic spirits of ammonia. The soda clerk mixed it up and passed it over. The customer drained the glass and smacked his lips over the connection, Still he sat there.
 Lets have little chaser of that same stuff" he whispered across the marble slab, and had to repeat twice before the clerk heard him. The fountain man looked him over curi- ously and hesitated a moment. Fi- nally he turned his back and poured out a very small dose of aromatic spirits of ammonia into glass, add ed some plain soda. and served II. The customer swallowed that and still remained. Finally he mustered up courage to ask for more. but tho clerk promptly refused to give 1t to him.
 With what dignity he could com mand the man slid off the stool and tried to pull himself together. He swayed perilously near the cigar counter, but managed to recover ms balance and start toward the door' AS he went out he muttered, Cant give me any more, huh? well, 1 guess we'll have to find some more drug stores. Two nice Til drinks lh each drug store, just two.'
 Apparently the customer had WIS., tied several drug stores and manaE- ed to get two doses of the drug n each one. The soda clerk seemed 10 doubt this, explaining that hs thought the man had only taken the two doses that he had served, hop- ing that it would sober him up. The clerk did not hear the customers parting murmur. however.
 A local doctor explaining to The Observer that is is possible to "set a jag" on aromatic spirits of am- monia, although 6 dangerous method unless the person has built up con- siderable immunity to the ammonia in the drug. Aromatic spirits Of am- monia is used. he explained, to get 8 quick heart reaction. It is the sort of stimulant that can be used Tn moderately large quantities, but cer' tainly is not intended to be used Tn sufficient doses to give the alcohol A. chance to work on the patient. 1T the drug store customer had visited several other stores previously, get ting couple of doses in each one' it is quite possible that the drnS alone had given him the alcoholic reaction. No average person would be able to stand such quantity or the compound, however, the doctor said
