The June number Of the Connec- ticut Industry, published monthly by the Manufacturers Association o1 Connecticut. contains much valuable information on various matters o1 public interest. The magazine should be sent to every home worker III the state so that all might know that while machinery has accom- plished much for those who have money invested in manufactures il
 has also proved of much beneflt to the operatives in all lines of en-
 deavor.
 An article on this subject by E
 Kent Hubbard, entitled "The Hu-
 man Factor In Industry" goes into
 the matter in detail. It should be
 printed in booklet and copy left at every doorstep in the state. Among the many things the reader notices particularily is the importance paid to proper treatment of people who call at factory offices seeking for employment. If all MT Kent says on this subpect be true, and evil dently it is, it shows that employers of labor are we'll aware of the fate that the first impression created in in minds of employees is very last Ing anu that they arc duAAou6 " have the good graces of all who apply, even though they might not have an opening for every appli- cant.
 This is not in agreement with what one hears about the ordeal which applicants have to undergo in employment offices, many taking the ground it is much more diffi- cult to pass an examination to enter
 a factory than it Is to get a place in the United States Army or an appointment on the police or fire departments. But this is digressine and it is only fair to let MT Kent
 state his own view of the situation which he does as follows:
 "The employer makes his first jim pression on the worker when the
 latter comes to the gate seeking . job. No man cares to admit that
 he is unemployed, and if the ab. sence of directions forces him tC inquire for the employment office he must reveal the fact; and a pre- judice is set up from that moment
 Then, if he encounters a dingy ant uncomfortable waiting room, a surll
 and uniformative interview with thu hiring clerk, and brusque induc.

 reflected in better buying power,

tha min former weeks, and a general ly better tone in nearly all direc- tions.
 The market at times has shown some hesitation this week, which is not surprising considering last weeks advance. Generally speaking however, prices have held their own quite we'll, and have indicated once more the genuine ability to come back, following profit-taking sales Short covering, of course, has played it's part, but there is also an evident revival of greater confidence by in- vestors, not only at home but, as already remarked, also abroad. The bargains that present themselves in seasoned. securities are well-recog- nized; and, while there is inevitably some division of views as to the inn mediate future course of prices. the opinion of those in a position to know is now leaning very strongly in favor of the constructive side.

GUEST STATUTE
 Is UNALTERED
Mtch-hiking Prohibited But M0torist Still Liable for Negligence
LIABLE FOR STRANGERS

Although the 1881 session of the Connecticut general assembly enact- ed statute prohibiting the practice of hitch-hiking within the limits of the highway rights of way. thus af- fording motorists some relief from the annoyance of the ride lacking species, 1t did not disturb the word ing of the so-called guest law.'' which makes motorists liable for damages incurred by their passen- gers if deliberate negligence can be proved. Therefore. officials of the various automobile clubs and asso- citations and of the street railways are continuing their campaign against the practice of giving free rides to strangers.
 The ''guest law. enacted by the general assembly of 1927s gave the motorist. who befriended a stranger and then became involved in an ac- cident. some protection against the then existing situation in which the car owner found himself liable for any and all injuries sustained by his passengers. Tn its original form, the measure would have given the mos torist full protection from the claims of injured hitch- -hikers, but in the heated debate over its passage it was amended 60 that it left the auto owner liable # he were found guilty of reoklessness.
 Since the ''guest law" has been in effect, many motorists have found themselves victims of litigation tn- stituted by rtde-tackers whom they befriended, tho latter alleging dc. Iiberate negligence fin order to col' iect dnmaRee.

But there was, according to William,
a chance that he might be hoodwinked
into indiscretion; for, like many other

was no drunkard, and indeed he rarely

good deal: and, although he never be-

iniscent and communicative.
Even so, a single indiscreet question
or remark would suffice to shut him up

betrayed no interest in what he heard
