HE modern Miss needs no ''time out" for the time of month. If fyou've ever taken Bayer Aspirin for a headache, you know how soon the pain subsidies. It is just as effective in the relief of those pains peculiar to womenl
 Don't dedicate certain days of every month to suffering. It's old. fashioned. It's unnecessary. Aspirin will always enable you to carry on in comfort. Take enough to assure your complete comfort. If it is genuine aspirin it cannot possibly hurt you. Bayer Aspirin does not depress the heart. It does not up- set the stomach. It does nothing but stop the pain.
 Headaches come at inconvenient times. So do colds. But a little Bayer Aspirin will always save the day. A throat so sore you can hard ly swallow is made comfortable with one good gargle made from these tablets. Neuralgia. Neuritis. Rheumatism. Pains that once kept

Members of Roc ky Pass Gun Club Return from
 Big John Bay

Ducks and geese are just be- ginning to fly in considerable num- bers in Southeast Alaska" declared I. Goldstein, who with other mem oers of the Rocky Pass Gun Club returned this merning from-a hunt ing trip of two weeks to Big Johns Bay. More wild fowl came into the bay yesterday, the day the season closed, than we had seen during almost all the rest of the time we were there"
 What some members of our party said about the order estab- fishing the closed season so early was not at all complimentary to the judgment of the far-away of- ficials in Washington, D. G., who issued it."
 Five deer, 30 geese and 100 ducks were brought home by the II hunt CTS. They were l. Goldstein, Charles Goldstein, Minard Mill, Guy Me- Naughton, Joseph Johnson, John H. Riggs, Ed Jones, Dr. Robert Simpson, Robert Simpson, Jr., j.. Q. Rittenhouse and Capt. Drost.

Picking The Chairman

Before any of these reported breaks occur in the ranks of the state democratic party 1t might be well for party leaders to consult 8Governor Cross on the subject of new chairman. As 1t stands today there will be no need to replace Joseph M. Tone as secre- tary. since his duties will not conflict with the new position of state labor commissioner that he takes July l. A successor to Judge GP. B. O'Sullivan must be found. but as Gov ernor Cross did the choosing last year, it might be well to let him make his choice again. He may have been just dear old gentleman from Yale" year ago. but when he made his bow to politics, it was with Flourish.
 In selecting Judge O'Sulivan and Mir Tone to manage his campaign and the affairs of the state central committee he showed rare judgment. He should be allowed to exercise 1t once more. There is no need for the en- tire state to trot forward candidates for the office. Nor is there any cause for dissension in the ranks. The old guard in the demo- cratic party has had its day. It can't expect to return to power now that fresher and more aggressive leaders have maneuvered the party into power. Continued success of the demo- cratic party in Connecticut depends to great extent upon its unity. A united democratic party plus disgruntled republican voters means election success.
 q The issues that have developed during the Legislative session place the democratic party in strategic position. Republicans have in- dieated that their sole concern is for political power and prestige regardless of the well be- ing of the state. Legislation that had the backing of public-spirited men. regardless of political affiliations, were ditched simply because they reduced patronage or gave too much power to democratic officials. Politics was the guiding light of the republican legis- lators. With this in mind democrats would do we'll to watch their step. There is no need of squabbling over the chairmanship. Let the governor pick the man.

Banking Law Reforms

Although State Senator Lewis S. Reed of this city gives most of the credit to Bank Commissioner Lester E. Shippee we think that the local man is entitled to his share in the praise for the much needed reforms in the state banking laws as accomplished by the Legislature. While the attention of the voters of the state has been occupied with matters political Commissioner Shippee drew up and Senator Reed contrived passage of numerous measures that will remedy certain situations now existent in statutes governing our banks In commenting upon the needed changes Sem ator Reed says of Mir Shippee that He alone conceived and prepared most of the import ant measures adopted at this session. In my humble opinion he has proven himself one of the ablest commissioners that has ever held that office.
 In the last year or so the confidence of peo- ple in our banks has been somewhat shaken Weaknesses in the laws governing operation of banks became apparent even to the aver age layman's eye Where close supervision of these institutions was needed it was miss ing because the law did not provide for it. Where restraint was necessary it could not
 
 of banking facilities was preached on every side. When the stock market finally crashed down from its inflated position banks which had built not wisely but hurriedly, were pinched Security houses of flimsy material found themselves crumblng All of that we have seen in Connecticut With the state passing the necessary remedial legislation no such thing can recur for even if conditions parallel themselves the law will be adamant.
 To discuss every one of the changes made in the laws would require columns. We mere ly wish to call attention to the fact that the Bank Commissioner now can restrict the in- vestments of state banks. trust companies, and savings banks. Private banks will be sub iected to closer supervision so that their oper- ation will closely resemble that of the public institutions. By simplifying the fraud act V which controls the sale of securities in the state. the commissioner has complete knowl- edge, also regulation. veritable Who's Who, of every stock house and its saesmen in Con- necticut Governor Cross has praised the bank law reforms as one of the major accom- plishments of the General Assembly. We rather imagine that business men of the state will hold the same view and will join with others in thanking not only Commissioner Shippee. but also Senator Reed who certainly did his share to bring about the reforms.

State Forestry Work

A A cheerful piece of news is given out by the forest service of the Department of Agri. culture. It is that state appropriations for all types of forestry work for the last two years showed gain of more than S2000.000 a year over similar appropriations for 1927 and 1928. Last year ~ states and territories appropriated more than S7.000.oo0 for vsr- ious forestry needs.
 Nearly ons.third of the money went for fire protection in eo.opsralion with the fed. srsI government and private land. owners. More than Sl.000,000 was used for tree- phnting stock and refersstation. More than tz.O00. 900 was used for purchase. maints- nance and improvement of state forest lands.

Child Travellers

At the recent annual meeting of the Travel CTS Aid Society the surprising fact was brought out that 49825 children travelled alone in the United States during l930. New York workers alone helped and protected more than 2.500 boys and girls under the age of l6.
 Some of the children were runaways who were returned to their families Some were making necessary journeys alone because there was no older person who could accompany them. Most of them got through safely to their destination or were protected from dan- gers that might have beset them until responsi- ble elders could be found to look after them
 It speaks we'll both for travel conditions in this country and for the good work of this special organization that so many youngsters can use American railroad trains. boats and busses so freely and so safely.

Insects-Foes Or Friends?

There are baout 6.o00 insect pests leagued against us and they are destroying 2.00O.- 000,000 worth of property year. according to j.. A. Hyslop of the federal Department of Agriculture. The biggest item of damage is . cotton. with l2 per cent of the total crop ruined by the boil weevil and an immense sum spent besides to control the insects ravages. Another major enemy is the bollworm, which preys alike on cotton, corn and tomatoes. The tiny spruce bud worm destroys more timber than is ground up by the pulp mills
 This is not exciting. however, because it is an old story. And in the curious mental state induced by recent economic philosophies, some of us may find ourselves in honest doubt whether to worry about the matter at all. If all the clamor about 'overproducton is true. and if, as so many writers on econorhic sub jects have maintained large crops are curse, we wonder whether these insects are not human benefactors in disguise. Some of the college debating teams might argue this question.

The Cold Terror

We have had optimistic reports from Rus sia given by American travellers, some of them unsentimental engineers, some of them ''parlor reds," some unprejudiced economists. The general impression given lately has been that Sovietism is coming along, however. slowly and may establish itself firmly in the form of half capitalistic compromise. Here is report of different character given by Mrs Mamie Ida Warren. wife of an American en- gineeer, and said to have been in club life in Chicago and San Francisco. It should in terest women.
 The Soviet doesn't want American engineers to bring their wives to Russia, she says, be- cause with their demands for better food, Sanitation and comforts, they cause too much trouble and too much dscontent' among the Russians" She herself has come home i'll from bad food and nervous indigestion. Nearly every American who stays in Russia for any length of time comes out sick she says. It's certainly hard on the women and children.
 You can't be happy in Russia. You are oppressed all the time by terrible, nameless fear. You get cold with terror. Americans may not have any reason to be afraid, but they pick it up from the Russians. For the Russians are afraid. They seldom smile. They are in terrible want. There is too constantly the feeling that there is going to be another revolution bloodier, perhaps, than the last.

Nothing is sacred in this age of conner cialism. We did think that the island which Robinson Crusoe made famous might resist the advance of civilization, but no. For some years now tours to Juan Fernandez ls- land, where Crusoe dwelt so long in peaceful solitude, have been conducted from Chile. Now South American business men, alive to the possibilities of cashing in on this cruise, are attempting to popularize it. Of course if somebody else should come along and adver- tise that his boats went to the authentic Crusoe island the Chileans might have literary not to mention historic. fight on their hands. It has been believed for years that Daniel Defoe, the English author, based his Robinson Cru soc on the adventures of Scottish mariner, one Alexander Selkirk. He was marooned on Juan Fernandez Island for five years We can see possibilities in the project for tours to countless real Robinson Crusoe islands.
