CALL FOR FULL, LATE FACTS
(Hartford Times)

Report that Professor Royal Meeker of New Haven may be en- gagged as expeft statistician by the state old age pension commission is a reminder that this commis- sion faces a difficult task. It IS none too early for constructive steps to be taken if the commits sion's report Is to cover the ground thoroughly i~ time for the next; legislature. The field from which statistics are to be gathered Is wide one. Many foreign countries and several states of the union have old age pension laws on the books, but information has often been ambiguous or partisan as showing the merits or defects of this type of social legislation.
 After data has been gleaned and classified as to what the experience has been in other states and coun- tries there will remain the even greater task of applying the mean- ing of that experience to Connecti- cut. Perhaps the present commis- sion will be helped by the fact that New York and Massachusetts now have old age pension laws in force. two states which resemble Connecticut in several respects, notably that of the presence of a large industrial population.
 Last winter the Connecticut Manufacturers association and the State Federation of Labor each presented data on the subject. The figures and estimates as well as the conclusions reached were far apart The former was opposed to old age pension regulation, while the latter favored 1t. Each submitted exten- sive data in support of its conten- tions.
 The present commission intends to make new and independent survey of the situation. That is a wise plan. The subject is still In an experimental state in America. In some respects it runs counter to traditional habits of mind and liv- ing. But conditions change and theories possibly need to be ad- adjusted. What is needed in this state before the legislature can take intelligent action is clear and complete statement of facts. parti- cularly those which beat on condi- tions similar to those existing m this state. A statistician Is wanted who will gather this data without prejudice. The commission will have accomplished som ct hing when 1t has found the right man to do that work.

 The effect of the cut in winter wheat acreage reduction this fall is discounted by the fact that the American wheat supply is now above 100000 bushels. nearly enough to meet two years of do- mestic consumption. The carry over as of last July is 320,000,000 bushels and the carryover as Of next July has been estimated at about 45O,000,000 bushels, with domestic consumption placed at about 65O.000,000 and export at 100000. The normal carry over is something like 150,000.000 and to get pack to that would re- quire an average of about 50 per cent.

CRAMTON PARK ACT
|. REPORT IS ADOPTED
Measure Enabling Nearby
Counties to Take Advantage
of Law Advanced.
BY GEORGE PORTER,
STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March with
the minority members from Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties leading
vigorous but unsuccessful attacks, the
House Of Delegates yesterday witnessed
two of the most spirited debates of the
current session when bills enabling
Maryland to put the Cramton act into
effect and increasing the allowance de-
Quoted from estates for funerals came
before it.
The delegates from Washington's two
neighboring counties further managed
TO keep in the spotlight by having seven
of their bills reported and introducing
a Statewide measure allowing all mu-
inequalities to establish planning and
coming commissions.
Dawson Starts Debate.
The debate on the so-called Cramton
enabling act" precipitated by Delegate
Walter w. Dawson, minority member Of
the Montgomery County delegation,
failed to prevent the adoption of a IA
vorable select committee report on the
measure.
The fight on the funeral allowance
bill, which would increase the sum per-
mitted for funeral expenses from an
estate to $500, was led by Delegate
Oliver Metzerott of Prince Georges
County, minority floor leader, and failed
by the narrowest of margin when a
roll call revealed bare constitutional
majority OF so votes for the bill.
Bills advanced and placed on the
third reading file after the adoption Of
favorable committee reports, in addition
to the Cramton enabling act, were
those granting the regents of the Uni
versity of Maryland authority to cede
20 acres for an experimental station OF
the Federal Bureau Of Mines, authoriz-
ing the use of public school buildings
for meetings of all veterans organiza-
tons; revising the charter of Colmar
Manor, granting salaries to the mayor
and council Of Brentwood If approved
in a referendum, and amending the
charter of the Mutual Fire Insurance
Co. of Montgomery County.
The Senate passed and sent to the
House bill presented by Senator Rob-
ert O. Hilton of Montgomery County
authorizing the town of Rockville TO
issue $4,000 in bonds for water and
sewer Improvements.
Makes Maiden Speech.
Making his maiden speech in the
House, Delegate Dawson strenuously
objected to the promptness of the Mont
gomery and Prince Georges County
delegations in favorably reporting on
the Cramton enabling act. and asked
that the measure introduced last We'd
nesday be set for a special order of
business next Tuesday.

Even husky children are subject
to colds, coughs, tonsilitis and
many other SickneSSes common to
growing children. To raise large
family and keep them healthy and
strong is no easy task. There is a
way, however, of helping nature
build health and strength which
thousands Of mothers have found
most effective. Mrs. Leo A. Gil
bert, 636 Rimmon Street, Man
chester, New Hampshire, writes:
1--WE have been using Father
Johns Medicine now for over
twenty years; before that my own
mother gave it to me when I was
a little girl. Whenever we were
rundown or had cold, it was al
ways our remedy. Now am the
mother of seven children and I
keep it at hand all the time be-
cause I think there is no better or
safer remedy for all the family"

COL0RED TENANTS PLOT
PURCHASED BY DISTRICT

S,he District Commissioners yesterday
approved the purchase of lot of land,
improved by a frame dwelling, adjotn-
ing the Lafayette School, now under
construction at Broadbranch road and
Oliver street.
The house Is occupied by colored
tenants. In explaining the reason for
the purchase, Assistant Engineer Com
missioner H. L. Robb wrote: The Pres
ence of this house, with its colored oc-
cupants, so close TO a white school Is
q source of possible friction that it
rs thought desirable to- remove. The
price Is somewhat higher than has been
paid for other property for this school,
but Is a considerable reduction from
the original price asked. The purchase
of this property has the approYalk Of
the school authorities"
