Good Appropriations

The state will have to do some scrimping if Fit keeps its expenditures within its income during the next two years, judging by the appropriations committee budget bill pre- sented to the Legislature yesterday. The bill calls for appropriation of S54.899.057. which represents $l5.000.000 increase over the 1929 figure. However. this increase can almost be explained by the dirt road bill which will use up s6.0o0. 900 in the period from l93l to l933 and the million dollar mission. The Motor Vehicle Department was also favored in being given substantial increase over its 1929 appropriation.
 Without question we think that the Tuber- culosis Commissions appropriation of S2.- 89l,596 is we'll merited. Two years ago it was a million less than that and conditions were such at all the five institutions that dras- tic measures were necessary. Every sanator- ium required attention. Some of them still do despite the additions and new buildings that are being provided. Thanks to some ex- SehsHt Se"Pe'buHS oPcH Pdtt VI Dt Msher of New Haven and his associates the commission has been given the proper atten- tion. Its demands are at last being met and Connecticut will continue to rank high among those states recognizing the necessity of com batting tuberculosis with every means at our command.
 Other state institutions did not fare so well as the tuberculosis senatoria. However. their turn may come in 1853. We realize that Stste income is not increasing but state ex- renditures are. Commissioner Hall was right in warning the Legislature several weeks ago to be careful in appropnating any more money for the coming biennium. It is his job 10 find the money to pay the bills When ihe money isn't there the bills accumulate. At
 such time it should occur with more fre- quency 10 our officials that bond issues do serve certain purpose, namely. of tiding ever state. a city. corporation when money is scarce and need of expansion and improve ment is urgent. Perhaps before l933 the state may wish it's psy-as-you-go policy was more elastic.
 One item caught our attention in scanning the list of departmental appropriations. The Commission on Forests and Wild Life is allowed only S84.470 for the two year period. That represents a S50.000 increase over the 1928 figure which was mighty small 10 our way of thinking for such a valuable state agency and one that does so much to provide recreational facilities for the entire state. The increase in the budget is to permit the commission to acquire more land for state parks and forests the need of which is felt in many sections of Connecticut. particularly Fairfield county where there isn't one unless the present legislature will end the Sherwood Island squabble. We'll wager that if forest fires continue to rage as fiercely as they have this spring the department will find that much of this additional $50,000 will go for fight ing these fires. There should be biennial appropriation for this work alone.

 Dcntlsts' Incomes Higher
 They averaged larger net incomes than the doctors--s6075 annually aa against the physicians $559e. Tho highest dental income. however, was only $20,000. The average working week was found to be A hours a week, and the average of charges, running from dollar to $14 an hour, was $7.75 an hour, of which $1.60 was the dentists net profit. The average capital investment re- quired to set up and equip an office had been $6.937, although one den- tist had laid out $37,600.
 The bureau of education adds that there Is one doctor to every 800 per- sons in the United States. more in proportion than any other represen- tative country. England, for instance has one to every 140O persons, Trance one to 1890 and Sweden one to 2680.

In To-day's Mail John J. OSuivan Calls Attention to Mass For Irish Myrtars Saturday Morning at St Margarets Church

To the Editor of the Democrat,
 Dear Sir: With your kind per- mission and thanking you in ad- vance for the space which hope you will give me I wish to make an announcement through the medium of your valuable paper for the ben- eft of all those who are interested in the Irish Cause. There will be a memorial mass on Saturday morn ing, April 25. at g o'clock at St Mar garet's church for the 19l6 martyrs.
 This is the 18th anniversary of the proclamation of the Irish Re- public by as noble, self-sacrifcing, and pure-souied body of patriots 0s ever lived. These men saw the deplorable and hopeless condition of their country: saw, too, the apathy and gupineness of their fel- low countrymen who were fast be- coming West Britons; and resolved no matter what the cost to strike a blow which would awaken them from their 'Iethargy.
 Here was a body of men who

 They rose In dark and evil day, to right their native land and kim dled here living blaze which noth- ii.g can withstand--a blaze, please God, which will never die out until Ireland achieves her freedom.

BATTLE OF ARRAs.
,

SSSA A &&ssS DE <AAsAeNsfDs
 On April 23, 1917, the Battle of Arrag. which was begun on April 9, entered its second phase.
 On this day English, Welsh and Scottish troops made fresh assaults upon the German line east of Arras. The Germans were prepared to meet the attack and had firmly en- trenched themselves with new bat teries and machine guns.
 German snipers had been placed all about in shell holes with orders to pick off the British officers and men as soon as the attack started. After q stubborn resistence by tn. enemy the allied force made some progress. As Philip Gibbs, war cor respondent on the scene, described 1t:
 Tt was only to be expected that this second phase of the Battle of Arras should be extremely hard. For the British 1t Is q battle to the death. Fighting is in progress at ali points attained by the troops. and there is the ebb and flow of men-beaten back for while by the intensity of the fire, but attacking again and getting forward"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-04-23

We can't remember when we have seen vio- lets in bloom in April but we expect to find them this year. Plants are well out of the ground now and with few more days of warm sun they will be budding. A good warm rain would be better than even three days sunshine. And by the way. what has happened to the violet of recent years' Once upon time it was the favorite flower of the spring. It is supplanted by dozen others now.

 Here's an ode to April showers. Falling through the morning hours, Wetting down the thirsty grass Greening it as moments pass. Parehed earth needs the rain l know. Long it cried, you've heard its woe. Fires in the brush will cease,
 April showers bring them peace. April showers dripping down. Bedding nature all afoun'. Drink and food for buds and trees Cleansing well each April breeze. Welcome rain drops stay awhile. We appreciate your style. Let us sing your glory strain, April veils herself in rain. Falling gently. through the day. Long it seems you've hid away. We are proud that you dropped in. Falling softly. like pin. On the morrow. grass will blow. With new color. gone is woe. You have come to chill our fears. As you have through all the years. Here's my ode to April showers. Falling sweetly through the
 hours. Wetting down the thirsty grass. Greening it as moments pass, Buds drink in your cooling spray. Glad that you are here today. Linger with us. stay awhile. We just love your April style. It's the vagabond lover who is generally out on bond.

DEER CAUGHT IN TRAP
 INTENDED F0R SALMON

James Taylor, a Southeast Alas ka cannery operator, was in ket- chikan recently and says in the Ketchikan Chronicle that 1t has been demonstrated that traps are useful for other purposes than catching fish.
 Although it is early in the sea- son." said MT. Taylor, i've caught two deer in our Carol Point trap thus far, and if it is possible to catch a deer in a salmon trap, a deer trap should yield large quan- titles of the creatures.
 "One deer swam into the trap about 10 days ago, and the other three days ago. They were taken to the Skowl arm cannery and are being trained as pets there"
 Another unusual trap is the "black bass trap" of the Alaska Pacific Salmon corporation. Yes terday's yield from this trap was 2,0O0 pounds of sea bass, which proved to be worth more than similar amount of pink salmon.
