FooTPATHs ON STATE ROADS
tMeriden Journai.)

The state senate has given its ap- proval to q measure that authorizes appointment by the governor of a |commissi0n to study the question of footpaths along state highways. This action resulted from an agitation started by Senator J. IT. Lawlor. of Waterbury. to have such paths con- |structed in order to reduce the auto- mobile slaughter of pedestrians. There is no question that such paths are needed. Walker on the highways are now forced to take their chances with the autos because many roads are narrow and the shoulders are in bad condition for walking. Many pedestrians have Learned to proceed against. the auto travel. walking on the left side of the road. and many carry lights or refiectors to make known their lpresence to drivers. Nevertheless. there are too many accidents and they are generally fatal to the pedes. trian.
 The stumbling block in this pro- ject will be the cost. It would cost tremendously for the state to under take the construction of paths at Q safe distance from the pAvements on long stretches of highway where
 there have been cuts ana ills. The hope for the present, therefore iH | that the state will gradually do something for the pedestrians ir sec 1 lions of highway that are most used ! by pedestrians.

port on his bill to make October n Pulaski Day in Connecticut. Seventeen states have already paid homage to the famous Polish patriot. who fought SO bravely for this coun- try in this Revolutionary War and who was slain at Savannah. by designating October II as Pulaski Day. It is not the purpose of the bill to make October 1 legal holiday. but to cause the governor to issue a proclama- ton and call upon the state to display flags in honor of Pulaski. Connecticut has too large Polish population for the, legislature to pass over the matter lightly. The federal government has honored Pulaski in various ways It remains for states. like Connceti- cut one of the original thirteen. to do the same. Precedent need not enter into the mat ter whatsoever.

Battle of Ct Quentin.

On March 21, 1918 the Germans launched great offensive by which they hoped to gain military de- cision before the influx of American endorsements. It was called the Battle for St Quentin or the Second Battle of the Marne.
 The attack, said to have sur passed in grandeur to scale and de- struction any other in the World war. was begun at 4:30 in the morning. The sudden crash of 5000 German guns heralded the break ing of the storm. By nightfall the German flood had inundated 40 miles of British front. A week later it had penetrated a depth of 40 miles. In the weeks to follow the Allies were nearly submerged. These weeks rank with that of the Marne in 1914 as the two grav- est crises in the World war. This Is where the Germans came closest to a World war victory. Tn spite of the fact the German decisively defeated the British armies and drew 20 French divisions into ac- ton at St Quentin, they were un- able to separate the British and French forces. That was an ob- 1ective,

Democrats are making stand in the leg islature to amend the state constitution so that gubernatoriaI veto will be more than a mere gesture. Now if the governor vetoes a measure, as he did last week in the public utilities bill he is easily overridden by a majority vote. This was particularly easy to secure in both senate and house since in both the republicans have clear majority. But if a two-thirds vote was demanded to over ride a veto it would be trifle harder. The veto could not have been overridden in the senate. It could have been in the house where the vote was l75 to 75. The veto power of the governor. whether he be dem- acrat or republican. certainly needs strength ening. Give him some power to back his authority

New York.-One was a life-saver at Far Rockaway beach. One was an organist who joined a band in Buffalo, N. Y. And one was a Uni- versity of California lad who took the ukulele degree and graduated to the Vernon Country club. just out side Los Angeles before 1t burned down. Al Jolson found him there. And having made their first five million, the song writing trio of De Sylva, Henderson and Brown found the wagsters referring to them as one of America's seven most inl- portant industries.
 Almost million dollars worth of advance movie contracts awaited them.
 Yet, upon q recent day, the an- nouncement came from Hollywood that this Sroesus-trio of "Tin Pan l Alley had broken up. Buddy" l (George) De Sylva had decided to stay with the films and become a producer at a fabulous figure, hav- ing already shared in the profits of such box office sell out as Sunny Side Up."
 And Lew Brown and Ray Hender- son. being merely couple of hard boiled Broadwayites, had passed up l hhC tb cniO in cash money to return to the the- ater. Perhaps they will write a "Scandals" for George White: per- haps they will first put on their own show--with other peoples money, to be sure--smart Broadwayites sel- dom use their own currency; they're content with a share of the profits.
 Buddy" De sylva, lyric writer for the trio. sat in a sumptuous suite in the Hotel Marguery waiting for boat to take him for Q long vacation in Europe before he be- comes the Hone wolf of a team that has made jazs-time history; be- fore he returned to Hollywood with lot.
 Possessing a songful turn of mind, De sylva thought there might be . bright lyric idea in something that went: "I've got suite for my sweetie." Or something like that.
 But seriously" said the young millionaire song writer. sitting here waiting to go to Europe makes me just little bit sad. You see, in the other room is my wife. And in the old days when we were struggling to put song over, Ray and Lew and would all come to our house. house. {.

 With diplomatic relations, the two countries would be in a position to cuss each other out officially and could always negotiate directly, in- stead of awkwardly through third parties, as when Stimson tried to in- tcryene in the Russian-Chinese rail- way dispute.
 Some persons who think that if we had q Russian ambassador here, we might more easily hold Russia to account for Communist propa- ganda or subversive activities in this country which might be traced to the Moscow government.
 The immediate advantages of rec ognition to Russia, If one comedies the contention that non-recognition hasn't and won't disturb our export trade to her, are more umerous and obvious. Recognition presumably would make 1t much easier for the U. s. s. R. to obtain highly desired credits in this country. Russia's prestige would be strengthened over the world, her people probably would be encouraged and revolution within Russia would be discouraged.

John W. Titeomb was the only supporter of a bill which would make it penal offense to carry an uncased rifle in the open without permit from the fish and game commission. unless the rifle was being carried to or from an established rifle range or unless the person carrying it was member of the National Guard or the American Rifle Association. Mir Titeomb is superintendent of the state fish and game commission and certainly must know what the bill portends. but to the casual observer it certainly seems too drastic We read in news item the measure was aimed particularly at the hunting of deer at night with flashlights which is favorte pastime of late years with Connecticut hunters CD. If we recall there was also measure against carrying rifles between certain hours of night. However, sporsmen cannot be expected to support such measures. Hunting at night is all right when it is legal. We never heard of raceoons being hunted in rhc daylight. As for carrying rifles the state now exaets fair tax from its residents in license fees. We sym pathize with the efforts ot MT Titcomb and his game wardens in trying to r.event the slaughter of deer by pothunters but it must be ended differently than the above measures propose.

Humpty-Dumpty Silver

Paper money. an indispensable convenience to us. is regarded with deep distrust by na- tives of the Orient and the Tropics. They prefer the almost indestructible silver. which can be buried in the ground. made into jew loin cloth. China is one of the few remain ing silver-s standard countries. Her position, in this time of exceedingly low priced silver. is not happy one. From July, 1929. to the present time. the price of silver fell 50 per- cent. cutting Chinas purchasing power in half. Consequently. the country is hard pressed for money to carry on trade and in- ternal improvements. Our exports to China during the first 1ll months of l930 were 27 per cent less than for the same period in 1929. while our imports were 37 per cent less
 For once, overproduetion cannot be blamed for depre. d market price. Silver's fall is due to the dumping oi silver bullion upon the market by the government of India and to the debasement of@siiver coins by Great Britain, France. Belgium and other eoun- tries. Recent recommendations for remedying the situation were made by senate sub-com- mittee headed by Senator Key Pittman of Me- vada. Briefly they call for an international conference in regard to the use of silver as money. for negotiations with Great Britain looking toward the suspension of her policy of dumping silver from India on the world market. and for an international silver loan to China. The last recommendation would doubtless have tonic effect on that countrys trade, which would benefit us as we'll as the world in general

(By Given Castle in The Christian Science
 Montor)

 The road to San Diego follows close The undulatng Californian shore; It dips and rises. turns and turns again, Yet ever bearinR on toward the south And all along the way ones eyes may gaze On mighty waters pacifed and blue. It goes by tranquil coves where little waves Slip back and forth across the golden sand; While here and there upon the cliffs homes The redroofed Spanish houses that belong To modern days and yet are built to bring pleasing memory of earlier times. passing glimpse of quiet patio With sHn bathed walls where fragrant roses
 climb And all around beneath the vivid sky The grass Is green where once desert lay; While further south majestic mesas rise, The distant mountalns of old Mexico.
