True Economy

It has been said that the poverty of the poor is their poverty" Tn other words, those of us who have to buy the poorest of goods do not get quality service from them so we soon have to buy again. Presently we have paid out. in this way, sum that, If we had it at the time of the first purchase, would have provided us with product of excellence. comfort appearance, efficient service and long life considerably in excess of the several things we have actually bought.
 This applies to clothes. shoes furniture and countless other human needs. That IS why the worlds most expensive automobile is the most economical to buy and operate. Motorists are learning the same thing about gasoline and oil. A cheap nameless gas is almost certain to lack the power and punch of the costliest and more carefully refined fuels and it is likely to contain objection able matter that will bring grief to the engines innards.
 There is difference of only few cents quart between the lowest grade oil that will quickly turn to watery, non protecting sludge when subjected to the free heat of engine operation and the finest types of lubri- cants made from pure crudes that will keep your motor well and happy and revoluting at its peppiest. In this case saving of few cents may reduce the actual value of your car by hundreds of dollars and is not even distant relative of true economy

Perfect Agreement

There was one thing on which most of those people who appeared at the legislative hearing in Hartford yesterday agreed, namely. that Mayor Hayes has done good job as head of the city government and that the charter which he proposes is as good as any suggested. The argument against the con- tinuation of policies that Mayor Hayes IS introducing into city government is that no one knows whom or what will come after Mir Hayes. For that matter if we install city manager in our midst are we aware of what will transpire, say, ten years after his induc- ton? And really that is matter for the fu- ture to watch.
 As so many critics of the city manager plan have said in the last week or so (and they weren't city employes or even democrats) the trouble with present conditions is that the outs" are convinced that they can never un- seat the 'ins" by test at the polls. Hence they are choosing the only other resort at their command, appealing to the legislature to change the charter so chat the party in con trol won't be able to elect city officials but will have to import a professional city man. ager who will take the job because it is an advancement over the one he may be holding
 
 gers are right on their toes looking for better jobs, hence they drift from city to city.
 The Democrat is not opposed to referen- dunn on the city manager plan of government. We welcome 1t just as much as its advocates. for we are convinced that the electorate of Waterbury would defeat it handily despite the amount of noise and steneh that has been created over the city's financial condition. However, we do not believe that Waterbury should encourage referendum at any other time than when city, state or national cleo ton is being held. And we stick to this opin ion solely because program of economy has been established in Waterbury and it would be an economical move to combine the city election and the referendum If we are going to wait until 1932 for the referendum. 1t might just as well be in November. Our posi- ton can be attacked, but no more so than that of those who want to vote on the question this spring or one year from now.
 We don't think that the legislative commit tee on cities and boroughs will enthuse over the city manager plan for Waterbury. There are few members of the general assembly who have registered in favor of this scheme this year or in past years when it has been pro- pOSeQ TOT OlLeI tOWIlS dIQ CLUES OI Stdtt' And as far as we can see it's results in Connec- tieut cities have not been conducive to spread of the plan to others. The committee may recommend that the city hold referendum on the matter, but it certainly won't suggest the change in government Not after listening to what Mayor Hayes has done in his one year of administration nor what he proposes to do under his own suggested charter changes

Closing The Gates

It is getting constantly harder for aliens to enter the United States, at least by legal means. How many succeed in slipping over the border while your Uncle Samuel is asleep. is another question. But anyway the labor depart ment says that immigration has never been so small before. Industrial depression has helped reduce it. but the restrictions on intending immigrants have been much frightened.
 There was an old song that read. Uncle Sam is rich enough to give them all farm. but if he has any farms to give away now. they will go to his own children. It was fine ideal to make our land refuge for the oppressed of all nations but some of the oppressed have turned into bandits and gang sters and are expressing us. It is just as well that the alien tide should slow down, until those we now have with us become more acquainted with our ways

Politics and Personalities

A linberal application of glue to the chairs occupied by leading officials of the Republi- can National Committee might help to solve the problems of g.o.p harmony. Less than a year ago. Claudius Huston toppled from his chairmanship throne. At present. both Sena- tor Fess. chairman. and Robert H. Lucas executive director. are reported to be slated for dethronement. Their successors are already being chosen east and west by enterprising political foreeasters.
 The deposition, however. will scarcely be effected for some time. In republican circles. the etiquette governing such matters is highly elaborate code of unwritten law. The exist- ing chairman must first become aware that his services no longer are required If he is very bright. he may learn it from stories in the press outlining his deficiencies, predict ing his downfall. and sometimes quoting his partymen on the subject. Too often. how ever, his self-confidenee withstands these hints, and more drastic measures are required. Then his best friends begin to tell him. This should be effective, but it has been known to result in an outburst of wounded pride on the Chairman's part which inspires him to declaration of obstinancy.
 When matters have progressed thus far, party council is deemed expedent The sub ject himself may attend and hear combined threats and appeals to his patriotism. If his determination survives this ordeal. the 'suf- ferers only recourse is patience and prayer. Then the chairman usually. capitulates unex pectedly and is given handsome send-off with flowers and best wishes. It is true that there is no established procedure in such cases. Nevertheless. both Fess and Lucas are demon strating an innocence of reality which is omn- ous. Perhaps it isn't glue that is needed after all. A large charge of dynamite would prob- ably serve the purpose much better

Rather Late Now

Custer proceedings against the public utili- ties commission for neglect of duty will soon be filed by the attorney general It seems to be rather late in the game for such action now, especially after the legislature has repealed the statute under which Professor Albert Levitt of Bedding brought complaint The state laws say that if 100 electors petition the at- torney general to file complaint in the superior court against members of the public utilities commission this action must be the circumstances.
 When Professor Levitt filed his charges duly signed, the attorney generals office re- fused to bring action since it held that there was no material neglect of duty on the part of the commission. Professor Levitt then sought mandamus from the superior court to com pei the attorney general to file the complaint This was issued by Judge Newell Jennings whereupon the attorney general appealed to the supreme court of the state which upheld Pro- lessor Levitt.
 However that wasn't the end of court ac- ton. While there were loopholes of escape the attorney generals office found them. But all cards are on the table now and it is up to the attorney general to proceed against the commission. Deputy Attorney General Aver i'll has conducted the case for the state to date. But there is new attorney general now and perhaps the task of prosecuting the public utilities commission will be given to someone else. We don't see, though, how the legal department of the state can actually seek to oust members of this commission after strenu ously dodging the issue for over a year.
 Nor do we see how the case can be any thing but farce with the recent action of the Legislature in repeating the statute. which countenanced the custer action, repealed. vetoed, and repealed over the governors veto. It's rather ludicrous situation and can have but one result as we see it. vindication for the public utilities commission As for the state it can only admire the patience and effort of Professor Levitt in waging his long battle against odds that looked unbeatable Nobody ever really believed that the commission could be censored for not enforcing the old statute in regard to grade elimnations. That should have been amended years ago. But if Profes- sor Levitt is allowed to prosecute the case as has been intimatcd perhaps we shall hear some more evidence that will send republican legis- lators seurrying to Capitol bill to repeal few more statutes.

High Hats and Low Cars

In city that was dedieating fine new music hall the other night about half of the males present decided that the occasion was worthy of plug hats. Or more likely, their womenfolk decided it for them Anyway, the men bad terrible time. The hats simply wouldn't fit into these modern, low -roofed cars, They got knocked off and sometimes they got smashed. There was trouble, too, with long tailed coats. With the prevailing low seats, there was no place for those tails. The wearers debouched from sedans, limou- sines and cabs i'll at ease and entered the hall very self-conseous.
 It was good illustration of what automo- piles have done to formal dress. There was some talk two or three years ago of suiting motor cars to women's costumes It doesn't work that way The costumes are suited to the cars. The reason women get along better than men. en route to and from formal fune- tions, is that they have made the necessary adjustment better than men.

counsel and present defense wit nesses.
 The record of the warrant hearing goes to the immigration bureaus board of review. whose duty is to ad- wise the secretary of labor whether cause for deportation has or has not been shown.
 If the alien is found subject to deportation, the department issues Q deportation warrant and the alien is expelled. Aliens are then held and organized into parties. Last year 174 deportation parties were moved.
 A new factor in deportations this year has been the offer of the im- migration service to transport des- titute aliens who have been here less than three years to their own countries at government expense. Truckloads of Mexicans have thus been deported from southwestern states. Figures are not yet avail able on these deportations to date, but 1t is estimated that If they are added to the anticipated 18,5O0 compulsory deportations for the fis-

Senator Bingham has not found the Senate the most congenial spot in the world. Nor have his fellow senators found that the tall gentleman from New Haven always to their liking. He has irked his eonfreres on many occasions. probably no more. though. than he has with his latest proclamation for high taxes. There are dozen reasons more or less why taxes should be raised if we are to keep up oar scale of living and if Uncle Sam is to follow suit. In that respect the senator
 is right, but he fails to take into considera- ton the fact that conditions just now are not ripe for such ideas. Had he preached economy or lower standards of living. he might have struck popular note As it stands now he has merely added to the long list of unfortunate sayings and happenings that contribute to his unpopularity.

How many people glancing at map of Connecticut wonder why Massachusetts juts into this state near Southwick? Irregular state boundary lines are quite popular. They were even more so in olden days when col onial grants had habit of extending from ocean to ocean. Connecticut at one time in- cluded part of Pennsylvania. We don't think that this land dispute ever really ended But to get back to the Southwck jog as it is called, The jog is just what the dictionary says it is projection or an irregularity in line. Congamond Pond lies in it, in fact. the state line crosses the pond and permits fishermen from both states to fraternize. Connecticut and Massachusetts exchange mutual fishing rights so that Bay Slater isn't liable to be arrested for venturing into the Nutmeg end of the lake It is believed that in the period of construction Massachusetts ceded Connecti- cut slice of land and in return got the jog. It is more unique in our boundary lines than the projection of the southwestern corner of the state into New York If the New York boundary line were straight it would include all Connecticut west of Stamford. New York probably still has some designs on this region which is in the committing area.

AT SHAKER STATION

 It is announced that the prisor directors hold an option on the req, estate once occupied by the Shaker Colony in Enfield. and 1t is possible Ethat part of the prison population now at Wethersiield will be, taken there. s
 The site, 1t strikes one, is excellent It appeals to one much as it did to Dr John O.. Pease, who wrote of it in 1929: '"The flourishing community of Shaking Quakers add much to the general industry of the town (Enfeld). This society possess near ly 5000 acres of land in the north- eastern part of the town ... There are four families who occupy about 23 dwelling houses and storehouses. They own a very spacious and vaIu- able 'grist mill, saw mills, cider mills, one carding machine a mach inc for the manufacture of pails, a trip hammer shop and lead eque- duct manufactory. They keep about 70 COWS, 12 horses and about the same number of yokes of oxen, IH their principal village there is an elegant church for public worship Their garden seeds are in high reputation abroad and are the source of very considerable profit.

New YOrk.-Manhattan's east side, west side and uptown tenement sections have never allowed one of the city's oldest rooftop games to go into the discard.
 This is pigeon warfare, pigeon batting or whatever you wish to call it., and it is something of a gambling game. something of ingenious thiev- cry and something of thrilling sport.
 The idea is simply this-the bird fanciers and trainers try to get their pigeons to bring home the other fellows pigeons. Every sort of trick and device is used in efforts to cap- +ture the. other players most. valu- able fiocks.
 In years agone, before gangster- ism and bootleggery sent hoodlums into gun battles, the pigeon game was credited with starting many of the toughest side street battles and neighborhood feuds. For time was game: when pigeons would be rounded up as a regular racket and when there were many hard losers.
 Standing on the roof-tops watch- ing the manipulations of the pigeon armies reveals a sport packed with thrills and with ever-changing for tunes of war. One day the game will turn toward one coop; the next will see another winner.
 But since few non-New Workers have ever heard of this odd roof-top pastime, a little explanation may be necessary.
 Several persons in adjacent ard nearby sections build pigeon coops on the roof. The birds have diff ferent values-ranging from 50 cents to s5 each. During the course of morning and afternoon, the coop doors are opened and the fiocks go fiuttering away into the Manhat- tan skies. Generally a few rockies new corners to the coop and the neigh borhood-are sent first. Being strangers. they are more easily tempted away.
 But, don't worry, the field mar shals have old-timers in reserve. These veterans. of sky struggles are trained for months to return home and bring the other fellows birds with them. The training sometimes includes a hunger diet, so that they will rush back to their native coops | at the very suggestion of ofood. So the old-timers swoop and soar above their own home grounds waiting to snare the newcomers in their circle and ''capture'' them. Al | the first hint of "a forthcoming "cap- ture.'" the lucky player rushes out with tempting food; the pigeons swoop down to get 1t and--presto they are added to a strangers flock The .'payoff'' comes later. For the original owner generally comes around to "buy back the birds and the average price is about $1 per
 bird. The game. as you can see, fre- | lquently runs into money.
 And frequently, also, 1t becomes
 difficult to trace the birds to theil Thew homes, for sometimes dozens oi GOODS will be opened in. different lsections of the city and thousRnds oi
 birds will soon be engaged in con. Ifused night. < Rockies, of course, are the easiest | game and 1t is for these that mosI of the play goes On. When the con. ! test spreads to several thousand iblrds, however. the chances ars

People always think of John D. Roekefel- Ter and dimes simultaneously. But heres one man who believed that if he took care of the dimes the dollars would take care of them selves. He's Oscar S. Bodenhausen of Ss Joseph, Missouri Just 27 years ago he start ed to save his dimes. Each night he would empty his pockets of them and later deposit them in savings bank. The average was S2 week. At the end of l930 he found that his savings account had reached S3.700, so he started on world tour with plenty of travellers checks in his pockets He has just arrived back after four months trip with S35O left.

 The little, army is mixed one there are ant-webs and duns and others, and each plays a part in the game. Once substantial loss has been suffered, the losing players in variably seek for revenge on another day.
