DESERVES ANOTHER TERM
lHartford Timesl

By a ratio of s to Mayor Hayes of Waterbury was renominated in the democratic primary Thursday in a spirited contest in which he was opposed by former Street Su- perintendent William F.. Kennedy. The unusually large vote of almost 15,0O0 for the two candidates indi- cated the keen interest which the contest had aroused. Mayor Hayes one sided victory is clear evidence as to his popularity within his own party. In view of the traditional democratic majorities which the Brass City is wont to register on election day, the continuance in office of Mayor Hayes for another tw-year term seems almost assured.
 The Hayes administration has been marked by firm policy of economy and the adoption of busi- ness methods in municipal affairs. Annual deficits in the city budget which had been permitted to ac- cumulate until they reached into seven figures were stopped by re- duction of expenditures and the levying of a tax rate which would balance the budget. This required d Idtc us hish as " ihtS' Set ~ had became painfully evident that unless heroic measures were taken. both as to reduce expenditures and more adequate income. the city could not prevent ripper bill being passed by the legislature imposing state intervention in the city's mu- nicipal affairs as had ieen done in Bridgeport few years ago. If as tuthor of drastic policies. Mir Hayes nevertheless has retained wide pop ularity, as his victory in the pri- mary would seem to indicate. his qualifications for another term in the mayors office would seem to need no further recommendation Waterbury will be doing itself favor if 1t decides to accept Mayor Hayes for another two years.

Next Monday morning at l0:30 o'clock Groton and New London will reeeho with the sharp reports of British and Continental muskets as the sesqueentennial of the cap ture of Fort Griswold is celebrated with the reenactment of it's capture by Benedict Arnold It will be just 50 years ago Sun day. September 6. that Arnold led the Brit
 sh against Fort Griswold in what became known as the Battle of Groton Heights. Ar mold had previously burned and sacked New London. Two companies of the Governor Foot Guard will portray the roles of British grenadiers. while the famous Putnam Pha- lanx will be the American troops On Sum day after Senator Hiram A. Bingham has delivered an address of commemoration the deed to the Fort Griswold tract will be pre- sented to the state by the federal govern ment. It was chiefly due to Senator Bing- hams fine work in Washington that the federal government finally consented to turn over the historic tract to the state for me- morial purposes. In time of war it would revert to Uncle Sam if needed for protecting the coast. IL is safe to say that the sesqui- centennial will attract thousands from this state just as the centennial did 50 years ago. It is said 30.000 attended that. How many more will be there Sunday and Monday in these days of easy communication!

Washington The republics of Latin America have shown two marked tendencies in the last couple of years: First, to get rid of their presidents in one way or another; and, second, to replace them with their ministers or ambassadors 10 the United States.
 Now that Dr lsidro Ayora has been forced out of the presidency of Ecuador there are no longer in office any of the seven South American presidents who greeted Herbert Hoover when, as president elect, he made, his tour of South and Central American countries less than three years ago.
 They have all lost power either through revolution or under ire sistible pressure. Ayora, who turned over the reins to army officers, was said to be the execu- tive who made the most favorable impression on MT Hoover.
 Serious economIc depression, such as has afflicted the Hoover administration here, has been at the seat of all the upsets. PrOba- bIy none of the seven south Amer ican presidents during the good will' tour suspected that naru times were ahead. They all seemed to feel that their countries were aiming toward eras ot DIGger and better prosperity. At least. they talked that way.

 Two members Of the Latin American diplomatic corps here stepped from Washington to the presidencies of their countries. and at least three others are talked about for similar honors. First, Enrique Olaya Herrera was peace fully elected president of Colom- bia and then Dr Ricardo J. Alfaro was chosen by the party in power in Panama after the revolution.

Instead of arbitrarily setting rates of speed. and threatening one with full ex- tent of the law if he does not obey, signs have been erected on many of the through roads indicating a reasonable" speed for that partic- ular stretch and advising the motor ist to maintain 1t.

Good evening. WALK AROUND YOURSELF When you re eriticising others And you are finding here and

 Or accusing some of ,pelf-- It's time that you went out to take A walk around yourself. There's lot of human failures In the average of us all, And lots of grave shortcomings In the short ones and the tall; But when we think of evils Men should lay upon the
 shelves,
  It's time We all went out to take A walk around ourselves. We need so often in this life This balancing of scales, This seeing how much in us wins And how much in us fails; But ere you judge another - Just lay him on the shelf It is a splendid plan to take A walk around yourself.

When these facts are established
1t becomes possible to treat the case
as heat stroke. Proper treatment
means much for prompt and certain
