His 'har- mony' program was joke. and his willing ness to accept half loaf when he could have had more in the drought relief eompromise sent the Arkansans' stock almost below visi- bility. Many of the myths concerning Owen D. Young have collapsed under scrutiny The present none -too-subtle plan of some demo- ersts to give him the presidential nomination as sop to "big business is an indication of Mir Young's real position in the economic world and of his political philosophy.
 Franklin Roosevelt. on the other hand. is in high favor with the majority of his own party and with many progressive republicans. Although Senator Norris explained that his statement concerning the need for another Roosevelt in the White House" referred to the late president. the spontaneous cheers from the audience were for the New Yorker. If southern democrats can swallow his wet views and all eastern democrats accept his oppos- ton to monopoly and the power trust. it may be that another Roosevelt will sweep the country just as the rough-riding Theodore once did

 of the Day.
Editor of The Democrat:

Editor of The Democrat:
 read your remarks on birth con- troI with much interest and a great deal of pleasure.
 It takes all kinds of people to make . nation and 1t goes without saying that Waterbury as well as other cities has it's share of them. You can tell this in many ways. but in none more easily than watching the movements of people about the city. Some are running here and there picking out the kind of garden tools and seeds that suit them while others appear to have nothing on their minds, but gossip about Tor komian and others mentioned in that case. Then again, very large num- bers of all creeds are interested in the services at the churches during the Lenten season and are preparing for proper observance of Easter Sunday. In this as in the other matter many don't seem to be Tn any way concerned over the coming of Easter and talk as though they were not aware that the event was so near hand.
 When you stop to think over these things you can readily understand why there is some ground for the contention that religion Is on the wane and that the day Is not distant when more than half the people will not only be associated with no church. but will be arrayed agains, the whole of them. Who can tell but there is some truth in the state ment that we have almost reached the point when Catholics, Protest ants and Jews will have to combine In the interest of sound morals. even though they may continue tn differ on other matters. There 1s ono thing on which most people are agreed, and that Is the sancity of the home, something which 1t would bc impossible to maintain if Christian morals are to be ignored and the coming into the world of baby regarded in the nature of a ''mis- take." n hindrance to worldly pleas ures. so that the family might be deprived of the joys of life while caring for what the Master intended as the real purpose of the union Of man and woman in the bonds Of matrimony.

WINTER WARMTH
(New York HeraId- -Tribune. )

(NeW York Herald-Tf1Dunc.)
 The announcement of the United States weather bureau that this has been the Warmest winter or recent years will be no news to coal deal CTS or overcoat makers or other business men, whose plans based on average weather have been upset more or less disastrously. It Is Il human failing to. have every year E weather unusual, but in these last few years even skepticS about weather changes have been convinc- ed. Nor do the symptoms of North America stand alone. Glaciers III the Alps, Arctic and Antarctic ice, droughts and floods in both hemis- pheres-all report exceptional at- mospheric convulsions. Hypotheses of returning Ice Age or the last throes of n vanishing one have been proposed and are pot impossible, but the only sure fact is that the vas, weather engine which keeps the winds and rains in motion Is some times skipping beat. sometimes adding few extra ones.
 Weather cycles. supposed by many observers to swing back ana fortn in periods of decades or centuries, are likely to be thought of as cycles of heat or cold. of dryness or wet ness. Evidence accumulates Una, this is not their deepest nature, but that many of them. if not all. oscii- late between two extremes, one or which is marked by uniform weather almost all over the earth, while the other is marked by weather differences and by maxi mum of stormincss. The chief symp- tom of the stormy times. 1t begins to seem probable. is an Arctic Ocean covered with ice. Tn the equable times. on the other hand. the Arc tic ocean seems, as suggested by Dr C. F. P. Brooks. likely to be ice free. These conditions seem to have alternated in past centuries and world weather seems to have swung In sympathy.
 The last winter, contrary to what might be one's first impression. ap- parcntly marked swing toward th" stormy extreme. not toward tho eduabIe one. Herea bouts this hap- pened to mean winter warmth and
 less snow. because the tracks of storms across tho continent swept farther south thnn usual and were. more cratic. This explains, too. why the south was cooler instead of warmer. Tn the whole Northern Hemisphere the evidence is that the ice cover of the Arctic Ocean. prob- |nbly the key to the whole situation |is at least not shrinking and may he enlarRing. All of this probably Is no more than . temporary swing. f0 bc redresHed in q year or two by tho variable heat supplied from the sun.

been established as the per capita wealth of the nation, believe it or not. In this state the per capita wealth of its residents is slightly above the national average. Here we are worth just exactly S3.8o0 which is the high est for the New England group of states. Nevada leads all states with per capita wealth of $6.318. Just think what it must mean to live in Nevada. At the end of lo3l it ought to mean more than that. for legaized gambling has just been inaugurated in the state and somebody, probably the house, is going to get rich while the players get poorer.

The United States Weather Bureau de- clares that this is the warmest winter that we have had in some time. It declares that coal dealers will vouch for this fact. Well, we find that hard to believe We don't recall so much snow in Connecticut in a good many years. And if you don't think we have had snow why trip through the rural regions even to-day will convince anybody of that fact We have plenty of it left in sheltered places. We thought it much more severe than last year. Maybe we're wrong.

In 1869. he made fl voyage of great danger and hard ship through the grand canyon of the Colorado river, the valuable re- suits of which brought him into sci entific prominence. Congress voted him funds to continue explorations. A few years later he made q second voyage down the Colorado river surveying an area of 100000 square miles.

Serial Drama

Encouraged. perhaps by the success of his Strange lnterlude." the play that begins at , o'clock in the afternoon and ends at p. m after an intermission for dinner Eugene ONell has now written a trlology of plays which will require three nights for presenta- ton.

 O'Neill is the great experimenter Tn drama. Whether his experiments are merely freaks or whether they represent d permanent advance in dramatic expression time and posterity will have to decide. Al any rate, his plays are popular with the public. Shaw wrote play which required five nights for complete pres entation. It was Back to MethuseIah" The Iheater Guild produced it but finally gave it up. It closed after 20 complete performances with an admitted loss of $20000.
