Excess Business Calories

"The American people are given to all-or- nothing policies in what they do for health, . says Dr Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association. If they are told the consumption of certain amount of orange juice is healthful. they are likely to drink so much orange juice as to up- set the digestion and make impossible the taking of additional necessary food substances. Tt must be realized that the human being cannot take more than 6.000 ealories per day. that the average man eats 4,000 and that prob ably 5000 are sufficient" It is the same with nearly everything else. The main trouble with us is that we don't know when to stop There is close correspondence be- tween food and business, nourishment and prosperity. calories and dollars. We've all been suffering lately from too much industrial orange juice or too heavy business diet.

Unico Clubs Convene

For the first time in the history of the unieo Clubs national convention IS being held. Waterbury as the birthplace of this Italian organization. was chosen as the scene of the activities. We take this occasion to welcome the visiting delegates and to con- qratulate the local officials upon the success which has attended the Unieo Club since its creation few short years ago. Primarily in- tended for the betterment of the Italian peoples in America the Unieo Club of Water bury has done an immense amount of good in promoting good citizenship and in instill- ing in the younger generations the principles that make for good citizenship.
 The Unico Club convention terminates series of such that have been held in Water bury this spring and early summer. Water bury is proud of this fact. It is often claimed by even our own residents that our location in the Naugatuek valley has segregated us from the rest of the state. That can't be so when the city proves such popular con- vention place. Waterbury has way of well coming visiting delegates and of making them feel at home that counts for much. We can only hope that this friendly spirit will con- tinue throughout the years to come and that the city will continue to be as popular among fraternal organizations and others who hold annual conventions.
 It is nice practice that the Unico Club has chosen of welcoming the graduates of local schools and colleges at its annual meet ing. It is too bad that there aren't more of such clubs to do this Boys and girls who are just making their bow to the busy world should be made to realize that they haven't got to fight the entire world to make living. There is always helping hand. Too often it isn't extended. We believe the Unieo Club has the right idea in giving the boys and girls in whom it is interested this handelasp. As coming citizens they deserve it.

Backward Lawyers

The Chicago News. which would hardly be described as violently radical, has been making some drastic remarks about Illinois lawyers. especially lawyer-legislators. Such lawyers, it maintains, are the greatest obstacle to sound reform of legal and judicial proeed- ure, because of their stubborn and perverse attitude" The latest illustration is the kill ing, at one stroke of more than 10 bills which had been carefully drafted by the judicial advisory councils of Illinois and Cook County. after many months of study and eonsulta- ton.
 "The massacre" says the News. was due to the fact that the downstate lawyers in the lower house refused to permit any substan- tial change in the routine to which they were accustomed. It was too much. they protested, to expect lawyers to unlearn all they had been taught and to re-edueate themselves for the practice of their profession. The public interest apparently concerned them not at all. The fact that all the measures thus delivered over to the headsman aimed at simplification and naturalization of legal procedure and practice was not even mentioned. The more complicated. technical and wasteful the pro cedure, the better lawyer-legislators like it." Now, why are lawyers like that?

A Fight is Assured

The public announcement made by William E. Kennedy. former superintendent of streets that he will contest for the mayoralty nom- nation on the democratic ticket this summer assures Mayor Hayes and the present admin istration of stern primary fight Although Chairman Crary expressed the opinion that primary battle is liable to hamper the good work that Mayor Hayes has already accom- plished we doubt that very much. If the mayor is victorious at the primary fight he should ride to an overwhelming victory in the election. However. from all indications the real test will come within the party and not from the republicans.
 Nobody can question the right of MT Kennedy to seek the nomination. He has sufficient knowledge of the manner in which a city like Waterbury should be run to be qualified to stand before the public as can- didate. He has served the city in one capacity or another for fully twenty years. He now seeks a chance to give the democratic voters the right to pick between himself and Mayor Hayes Every man has the right to run for office provided he can secure sufficient backing. In this instance it will be question of whe- ther Mir Kennedy can muster as much strength as Mayor Hayes now has.
 There hasn't been good primary light in Waterbury in quite some few years now. The last one in the democratic party devel- oped at the 1923 election between former Mayor Guilfoile and Daniel T. Harrington. ST. It was at the end of the ex-mayor's first term and his victory at the polls resulted In a fine showing in the city election. It marked the real start of his continued rule in Water bury. If Mayor Hayes defeats Mir Kennedy at the primaries history would again repeat itself, although we doubt if Mayor Hayes cares to continue in office for as many terms as did ex-Mayor Guilfoile.
 From now until late August or early Sep tember when the primary fight will take place the city can expect to be entertained with geat display of political pyrotechnies. It should be rather welcome after the desultory battles that the biennial city elections have degenerated into of recent years. Perhaps the primary contest will be just enough to waken the city and insure us of real old fashioned election. We are about due for one.

Great Waterway Progress

The opening of the new Welland Canal arouses renewed interest in the Great Lakes St Lawrence seaway. It is the fourth canal built from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario around Niagara Falls. the first having been constructed more than 100 years ago. Through this chan nell can pass the biggest freighters on the lakes. There is depth of 25 feet and the locks are 820 feet long. with l.3So-foot guard lock. These works are larger in some respects than those of the Panama Canal.
 Deep-draft navigation is now assured all the way from Duluth through Lakes Su- perior, Huron. Erie and Ontario and the upper St Lawrence. to Ogdensburg. N. '. There remains a stretch of IS miles between ogdensburg and Montreal. one-third oi which bars ses-going ships with rapids and shallow canals. When this strip is provided with channels like the Welland Canal. there will be free passage for the remaining l.ooo miles down to the mouth of the St Lawrence. and the greatest inland waterway in the world wiII become an integral part of the open sea-

It will require almost ten years to carve the giant memorial out of the face of Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills that Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor is doing. Already the work has been going on since 1927 and only one of the four heads is clearly outlined. Washington is the central figure of the group of four great Americans and his profile is nov discernible. The head of Thomas Jefferson will be ''roughed out this summer and pre- liminary work started on Lincoln's. That Of Theodore Roosevelt will be left to another summer. We say summer. for the weather IS such in the Black Hills that Borglum and his forty workers cannot do anything except dur- ing the summer months. That's why 1t will take so many years to complete this memor- ial on mle-high easel. When Borglum was engaged in carving the Confederate army on Stone Mountain down in Georgia he employed hand chisels for the job. That could be at- tempted on this project as the figures will be 45O feet tall. The heads themselves are oo feet Therefore electric drills bite into the face of the rock; dynamite is inserted and ex- ploded Then pneumatic hammers bite down the roughness Finally buffers smooth out

Canada Turns Industrial

Canada has become modern industrial na- ton so quickly that our own people can hard ly realize it. A government bulletin from Ottawa shows that in 1929 manufacturing was the leading productive industry of the Dominion, with agriculture second. building third and forestry fourth. The manufactured goods amounted to S2.oo0.oOo.0oo.
 Even the prairies provinces of Manitoba Saskatchewan and Alberta regarded. as almost wholly agricultural, made good industrial showing. They produced Sl5O.0oo.ooo worth of manufactured goods, an increase ot 27.5 per cent in two years. The stage IS being set now for far greater increase of in- dustrial production. with the migration of so many American exporting plants to Canada. We shall have to reckon with Canada hereat- ter as real competitor in world trade.

use of similar canals in American territory along the international border. This appears to be the only instance of such cooperation among nations.
 The remaining part of the project awaits joint action between Canada and the United States. It is necessary to build dams to raise the water level of the rapids above Montreal. The cost will be divided and will be only a little more than Canada has spent on the Wel- land It is expected that the power har- messed will more than pay for the expense. The enthusiasm shown by all the ports on the lakes and the upper St Lawrence. both Canadian and American, over the business prospects opened up by the Welland improve ment. suggest the general jubi1ation there will be when the rest of the job is done.

(NEA Service Writer)

 Washington. = One of the surest signs that summer is here is to be seen in the fact that the wheels of the republican and democratic pulp licity mimeographs are creaking a bit. It's a way wheels have in Washington during the summertime and those particular wheels serve as the best barometer because they are ordinarily so much buster than any others.
 There is no legitimate reason why anyone should have to read about politics during the heat instead of devoting attention to Cornelius Van- derbilt, Peter Arno and Starr Faith full, so don't you go paying any mind to these outbursts of the two major party national committees I unless that's your idea of warm weather entertainment.
 But you can depend on those mimeographs to creak right along ard sometimes even to break into screech in the effort to keep you attracted.
 Already you can hear the repub- lican machine in a shrill shriek, as ie convinced that the best summer l tactics lie in the hurling of hard names and hard words which are bound to draw at least passing mo- tice. And the democratic machine, I in it's turn, strains with grinding crunch in the common effort to make a great deal out of not very much, even verging on illiteracy 1p its haste.
 Shouse a Robot? | There is no very good reason why l c~ nf one of the republican national com mittee outbursts, should call Execu- | tive Chairman Jouett Shouse 'one of the talking robots of the demo- | cratic national committed" That's childish, even when designed to im- press mere voters. MT Shouse isn't a robot at all. MT Shouse Is a smart. cagey politician, with much more than ordinary urbanity. who has captained the program of organiza- tion and publicity which the demo- crats regard as leading up to a presidential victory next year. It has been ever so long since anyone sug- gested that either of the republican 1 chairmen, Senator Tess and Robert H. Lucas, were nearly as capable or valuable political leaders as MT | Shouse.
 There are ropots III potn Pdrties if you refer to as robots those mem- bers of congress who have public statements written for them and is- sued by the national committees, but maybe that means that Senator Dickinson is a robot. MT Shouse, however, has charge of the demo- cratic mimeograph and pulls his own strings when he jumps, so it seems as if Senator Dickinson or his national committee were begin- ming to get hysterical. That inn pression Is strengthened when Dick inson refers to one of Shouse's E statements as "characteristically false in fact, fraudulent in implica- tion and hypocritical in concep- tion."
 But the democrats can do just as bad and worse. Just watch them, if you must.

NEW YORK
wIh GiIbert Swan

New York.-Heres sad news for those trumpet-voiced political spout CTS who have been turned loose from time to time at national conventions in Madison Square Garden!
 No longer can it be said of them that they made the very rafters ring" In fact nothing can make the rafters ring from now on. The other day experts from General Electric's research department tackled one of the biggest jobs in the world. Something like 70,000 square feet of ound-absorbing ma terial now tones down the shouts and cat-calls of prize-fight fans. Radio folk were largely respon- sible for giving the Garden suitable acoustics. The reverberations in- terfered greatly with broadcasts of events in the garden, particularly when bands or choruses were being sent over the air. The confusion was known in the studios as "audi- torium din," and little could be done about it unless a sound-proof ceiling was built.
 Sleuths of the world of sound have been snooping all over New York for many months trying to figure ways and means of decreasing the general din.
 The most difficult job ever tackled by the noise Sherlocks is that of trying to silence the subways, if possible. At least a year or more will be required for a survey of subway noises alone. And then someone will have to figure out what to do about it. Meanwhile the dear old "roar of the city" goes merrily on!
 One of New York's swanky ice- creameries now places a crossword puzzle before each patron. The puz- gle is printed on the paper service napkin which accompanies a soda or matted milk. The puzzle is generally simple enough to be solv- able between lettuce sandwich and final gulp of ice cream soda. Out at Hunters Island Inn. one of the suburban night clubs frequented by motoring New Workers. they have a storm detector this summer to protect the bonnets and gowns of the smartiy dressed gals; to say nothing of the trimmings of the out door garden.
 It's a radio detector. by the way. and the latest gadget of Will Oak land. who has played about with radio devices since It's early days. There Is a dellcately adjusted spark gap, a sensitive relay and a signal bell hooked to an ordinary radio outfit. The approach of an elec- trical storm is presaged by the ringing of the ball, which becomes a veritabie alarm as the storm ap- proaches and gives everyone q chance to run indoors before tho rain begins

style would be soon fired. Spots of poor grammar heightened the effect.
 More illustrative, however, of how points have to be stretched these days by parties which want to avoid most of the important issues, is the committee produced statement of Congressman Joe Byrns of Tennes- see, one of the democratic fiscal sharks, about increased expenses of the department of commerce. The Byrns bombshell was the revelation that under MT Hoover the expenses of the department had risen from about $20,000,000 a year to $3S.- 500,000 year and the number of it's employees increased from 16,500 to nearly 24,000. The bureau of aeronautics, it was pointed out, cost about $4,400,000 last year. And of course various other new bureaus were annexed during the Hoover incumbency.
 In case you remember what the commerce department was when Hoover took it over and what it was when he left it you may have to conclude that this is a remark able slant from which to attack the Hoover record. But, as one was say- ing, it's going to be a long, hard summer.

Assistant Secretary of the Navy Lee Jahncke started row when he asserted that only crew imported from Norway or Swe- den could sail the rehabiliated Constitution on its proposed exhibition tour. That doesn't sound right coming from the Navy Depart ment Certainly it doesn't jibe with Ameri- can naval history. In the old days there were plenty of hardy. sea-going men who could have taken Old Ironsides into any port or through the stiffest gale. Surely some of this gentry must be left. enough at any rate to out fit the vessel and send her around the globe under her own sails rather than behind some navy destroyer However. old time seamen in New York made light of the navy officials remark. They maintained a crew could be recruited in no time to sail Old lronsides. It looks like distress signal for old salts will have to be sounded.

RUSSIAN CHURCH REPORT.

RUSSIAN CHURCH REPORT.
 On June 27. 1917, Charles R. Crane, member of the United States commission to Russia, cabled from Petrograd a report of Russian church reforms His message said in part:
 "In the revolution that is talk ing place, the Russian church is making more rapid progress to- ward adjusting itself to the new conditions than the state. It has practically been separated iron, state and is now managing its own affairs. More changes were made in the Russian church during the month of May than had been nade in two centuries before.
 "The process has been one of Characterization. Every priest has had to have his position confirmed by vote from the people of his parish. Twelve bishops have been dismissed, including the bishop of Petrograd, and new bishops have been installed only after elections by congregations.
 F "The physical property of the churches has been transferred from the state and is to be ad- ministered by the congregations. the clergy and bishops occupying themselves solely with theological affairs"

Pennsylvania has adopted state bird. It's the ruffed grouse. Its state tree is the hemloek. However, the state has lost its official day [. Governor Pinchot who is considerable of woodsman and naturalist signed the bills ere- ating the above. He also signed bill which repealed an act of 1927 calling for the observ- ance of Pennsylvania Day. Instead October 24. the date of William Penns birth. will be appropriately observed in the future. It isn't bad idea to pick state bird for Connecticut. not to mention a tree. We might pick the robin for the first and the maple for the second.

 (Bv A. E. Johnson in The Christian Science

On such a night think he came As this of late July; The stratford lavender was blown As he passed by To shottery through the meadows When evening came ashin; The lovely eyes of Anne peered down The embowered lane. An, when Shakespeare came a-wooing, This English scene he knew, The evening skies were thick inlhid With tho gold view, The sunset glow Is deepened "Nights eandleR' burn more trues And all the world is fhlrer Binger. because of you, And siill you como a.wooing.
