CHILD'S COUGH Was GONE
BEFORE DOCTOR ARRIVED
Almost Instant Relief Came When
He Phoned Worried Mother
What to Do

Glad that she took the advice of
her doctor, Mrs. G. P. Murphy, like
vast numbers of mothers in Indian
apolis and vicinity, realizes how
quickly a childs cold can now be
ended by home use of a pleasant
hospital method and how much
needless misery and risk is caused
by putting off the right treatment.
For a day or so her little daugh-
ter, Louise, had shown signs of a
cold. She didn't pay much atten-
ton to it at first, thinking that
the cold would soon go away. But
that night the child kept her awake
coughing and she became alarmed
when the thermometer showed tenn
perature.
Then she called the doctor. He
advised Mrs. Murphy to inlmedi-
ately give the. child Ayers Cherry
Pectorals--a- quick remedy that has
proved to be of unusual value in
hospital treatment of children's
colds.
In just. a little while she had
stopped coughing and was sleep
ling quietly. When the doctor
called next day her fever had dis
appeared, congestion was clearing

THIRD DEFEAT SUFFERED
BY LABOR IN ASSEMBLY
Bill to Limit Use of Prison Made
Goods Lost in House.

Labor forces in the house of rep
resentatives were licking their
wounds today and soothing the
third and latest scar acquired in at
tempting to put on statute books
laws advocated by unions.
The last wound was the vote ABA
late Thursday which killed the bill
restricting the use of prison-made
goods to state institutions.
Lead by Miles j. Furnas (Rep.,
Randolph opponents of the meas
ure contended that it would make
prisoners idle and result in riots:
While proponents of the bill de-
clared that with countless thou
sands out of work labor was being
hamstrung by the cheaper made
prison product.
Earlier in the session labor was
unsuccessful in obtaining passage

requiring the labelling of prison

'TONIEST' CLUB
Second Dry, Raid in Two
Days on High Society
LARS Staged.

BIZ United Press
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27.-The
placid routine of the exclusive Phil
adelphia Club slowly is returning
to normal today after police raiders
walked into the club Thursday and
conf1scated liquor said to be worth
100000.
The raid, coming only twelve
hours after Director of Public Safe
ty Schof1eld personally raided the
Manufacturers Club, caused great
excitement among those named as
"clubmen."
Despite the fact the director con-
Quoted the raid on the Manufac-
turers Club, of which he was a
member until his resignation i'm
mediately following the raid, he was
unaware that the Philadelphia Club
had been raided until informed by
newspapermen
Backs His Policemen
He dispatched Assistant Superin-
tendent Taylor to collect the details
while he announced that he was
back of any policeman who does
his duty"
! Police could have picked no more
exclusive club in the Quaker city,
or in fact, in the east, than the es-
tablishment selected Thursday.
The Philadelphia club is one of
| those places in which a member is
born, not made.
The gate" never has been
crashed in the years of its exist
ence.
Even the Manufacturers Club,
which boasts among its members
numerous leaders in the social, po-
litical, industrial and financial life
of the city, IS not as exclusive as
the Philadelphia Club.
Steward Is Arrested
After the raiders had entered the
building ON a search and seizure
warrant they made their way to the
third floor, where in Room IA they
discovered hundreds of bottles of
preprohibition liquor, they declared.
It took five patrol wagons to cart
the stuff away.
In the last wagon they also took
r. S. SconriniSen, the club steward,
on a charge of illegal possession of
liquor Several social prominent
members posted bond for him.

Hindu Spinners

That spinning wheel business with India himself tells about it by radio. There are 750,000 villages in India, he says, where the people formerly depended on spinning for their living. Machinery has supplied their market until now they have work for only small part of the year. and they are starving.
 Their skill in drawing fine threads, he says, has never been equalled by machinery. It is quantity. not quality. of mechanical production that is destroying the village spinners. If this is true, they might claim to be industrial artists as we'll as workmen, with right to survive even in machine age. They are probably doomed to failure, just the same. The machine, though not worshipped so enthusiastically right now, will supplant the human hand even in Asia, where hands are cheap. And in spite of the present distress which an alleged overpro- duction has brought to the world, faith IS not lost in its ultimate success.
 Machinery should and probably will, provide not only more leisure for all, but more necessaries and comforts for all. There should be progressive well-being for the operators as well as the owners of machines, Nearly all workers should have machines of some kind to use, producing vast and var jed output of which everyone should get his due share. But before there can be real equity in this system, and real justification of the producing machinery. we shall have to improve the business system of distribu- ton. That is where we fall down now.

never bring themselves to the point of re- fusing food to a hungry man.
 Gifts made to people who beg on the streets or from door to door are usually worse than wasted. They encourage a row ing type of men to live idle lives and sub- sist on the thrift and industry of others. If the same money was sent to some good charity organization, it would assist worthy people who are doing their level best to make good. It seems too bad to take such gifts away from the worthy and give them to the unworthy.
 The tramps, vagrants and beggars may include good many people who honestly desire to work. Such ones are entitled to help. It should be given by some agency representing cities and towns or by charity organizations which are trained to separate the sheep from the goats. If the individual attempts to give to beggars, he usually suc- ceeds only in encouraging them to continue lives of idleness.

Democratic Harmony

Out of discord often comes harmony. Certainly the democratic party in Conneeti- cut is in the throes of an upheaval these days. Not merely is the state organization under constant fire but in the four large cities there is a fight afoot for something or other. There was the spirited Hayes-ken- nedy primary fight in this city to start things moving which ended with an over- whelming victory for the administration forces in which the vanquished could do no more than pledge their support at the De- tober election. An even hotter primary followed in New Haven with State Senator Hackett and Alderman Murphy the princi- pals. The latter was victorious.
 Now Hartford is reechoing with charges and counter charges. John F. Gaffey. twice unsuccessful democratic candidate for mayor, is attacking former national com mitteeman Tom Spellacy. He insists that the latter is attempting to wrest the control of the party in Hartford from Congress- man Augustine Lonergan through the agency of William J. Rankin who is oppos- < ing former Postmaster David A. Wilson for the democratic nomination for mayor this year. own N-ildlIHdu oOlll N. OOiASi VI Bridgeport IS also having his troubles There is we'll organized campaign afoot to oust him from office. And New Haven has plunged from the frying pan into the fire. The death of Thomas Cahill, general regis trar, precipitated the row with spirited con- tests to fill the vacancy.
 Ordinarily we might regard so much rue tion as dsheartening, especially so after the splendid victory of Governor Cross in 1850. To us. though. it shows healthy urge on the part of the democratic party. There is every indication in the interest being man.
 ifested on every side of more success for 1o32. If democrats gain control of the city governments of Hartford and New Haven and retain their hold in Waterbury and Bridgeport the party will enter next year s state and national elections with decided advantage. It may be too soon for the party to sound its horn. But the discord- ant sound now issuing is merely practice. The band will strike up in perfect harmony and rhythm in 1932.

One Solved Problem

The protracted ocean voyage of Peter Russell, last summers man without country came to a happy ending for him at Glasgow early in September. He had been deported from the United States, re- fused admission to Great Britain and shut tied back and forth across the Atlantic since June. while immigration authorities of the two nations disputed his citizenship. Recent ly he was pronounced citizen of Scotland, which meant he could land at last and could go anywhere he wished in Great Britain. He headed for Fife. his home.
 It's good idea to be little particular about your citizenship papers or birth regis traton or passport. or all three, when you set forth on the ocean in these days of strict immigration laws. A voyage IS all right when voluntarily undertaken, but those who know say it becomes terrible bore when 1t is matter of not being allowed to land anywhere.

The Honor Is Justified

The State Park and Forest Commission will pay its respects to the Whittemores of Naugatuck on Saturday. October 3, at High Rock. The beautiful glen. which is one of the scenic attractions of the Naugatuck val ley, will be the scene of the gathering and ceremonies. It will be the first public tribute to family which has contributed in many ways to the development of our state park and forest system. The late Harris Whittemore was a member of this state board for years and his son, Harris White more. is now member. Early this year the commission announced that the Whittemore family had presented the tract to the state for park and forest purposes.
 We don't think that more suitable me- morial to a man could be chosen than an immense tract of woodland. including as does High Rock so many natural scenic wonders. A living thing that not only breathes the spirit of the man inspiring 1t. but also gives pleasure and enjoyment to thousands of his fellow men can't be sur passed by the hand of man. Marble statues and bronze busts have their place in the dec orative scheme. but when placed alongside the natural forces of the great outdoors they pale by comparison. High Rock standing out sharply in particularly rugged section of the valley is worthy of the role it hence forth plays.
 It was long the hope of the late MT Whittemore that at some time he might be able to present High Rock and much of the surrounding woodland 10 the state. To that end he set about some years ago acquiring the necessary land. The tract was almost rounded out when his death occurred. His efforts were continued by his family and the presentation was made this year. It should remind us of the vast amount of good that publie-spirited citizens of the state are doing. When we are surrounded by so much com mercialism it is pleasant to realize that all of us are not painted alike. We feel sure that High Rock with its memories for old residents of this city will lure many to its wild retreats.

 Washington-President Hoover, one of the more frank and realis- tic dry leaders remarks to your correspondent, will have to de- pend on the drys for his re-elec- tion.
 The dry organizations, he adds, :; ,ept the responsibility, but none too cheerfully. They will nat urally go right down the line for Hoover because his attitude on ohibition and enforcement has been entirely satisfactory to them, but there is a sad lack of serene confidence among them that 1ac- tors outside the wet-dry ngnt can be kept from compilcating the ls- sue.
 Fight In Congress.
 Consequently, this informant con- tinues, there will be a terrific ef- fort in next years campaign 10 maintain dry strength in congress. The drys feel that while the cleo, ton of a wet president would break their hearts the election of A wet congress would ruin them completely. They do not believe the vets can possibly elect a ma III LJoG, Oob tAANJ IVY that the dry majorities may be substantially reduced.
 Every dry believes his side would easily win any clean-cut national contest with the vets. That Is why the gentleman who was being aueried on the general dry point of his comrades, expresses an earnest hope for a real west-dry president ial fight next year. He admits that most drys have come to anti cipate the nomination of Cover nor Roosevelt of New York by the democrats and asserts that what the drys fear most is some sort Of a compromise statement by Roose- welt on prohibition.
 "The drys would be likely to be divided if Roosevelt made any real attempt to conciliate them," he says. Tt will be better from our point of view to have the demo- cratic candidate openly wet be- cause our hope lies in our being able to open up with all guns and rally our full strength against an obvious menace. In order osave Hoover and hold good working majority in congress we have got to be able to fight uniteldy against the democrats, emphasizing Roose- velt's wetness and his political af- fation with Tammany hall.
 What Drys Want.
 "Hoover has been absolutely satisfactory from the dry point of view, but he has become so un- popular that it is worrying lot of our fellows. There are many drys who are opposed to him on economic issues and great shoals of drys who will ordinarily vote straight democratic ticket if they think they can do so without injuring our cause. We face a hard fight in any event as re- suit, but if the democratic candi- date comes out wet we can set fire to the grass everywhere and we think we can lick him. To the ex- tent that there's no clean-cut is- sue, we're likely to be hamstrung because yuo just can't up the

The Hartford Courant breathes sigh of relief now that U. S. Senator Frederic C. Walcott of Norfolk has denied all affilia- tions with the proposed dry newspaper and has restated his belief anent prohibition. It was quite a shock to most republicans of Connecticut to find the junior senator rally ing to the support of prohibitionists after his rather severe attack on present conditions in this nation at the l930 republican state convention. In no uncertain terms at that time he condemned the 18th amendment. However, it was purely misunderstanding upon Senator Walcott's part and also E. Kent Hubbards that led them to add their names to the list of packers of the new paper. The Courant remarks that We pass no judgment at present on Senator Walcotts proposed way out of the mess we are now in. No thoroughly adequate solution seems to us possible short of out right repeal of the amendment but. as Sena- tor Waleott says. that may take long time. The first step may lie in the direction of modification. The Senator is prepared to take that step. So is every othe- member ot the Connecticut delegation in Congress. -.
 We know that but we would like to see the Connecticut delegation bit more active since its sentiments are SO well known.
