ELECTED TO NOTED
SCIENTIFIC BODY

DR.. J. C. f. Siegfriedt received
notice from Secretary B. F. Howell
that he has been elected member
of the archaeological Society at
their annual meeting held in Cleve
land, Ohio January LIST, 1881.
Eligibility to membership in this
Society was established by the fos-
sill discoveries made by Dir. Sieg-
friedt in the Eagle Coal Mine at
Bearcreek in 1928 and 1929.
At the present writing the Doc
tor has to his credit the discovery
of 13 mammal species new to
science. These specimens were
all uncovered in the Fort Union
layers known as Basal Eocene.
In an interview, the Doctor
states, that while finding of Pri-
mate and primitive types of mann
mails in the Basal Eocene is OF
scientific Importance the future
discoveries which will be made in
this region will be of greater inn
portance.
The reason for this prediction is
based upon the fact that the mann
NAL discoveries made, were uncov-
cred in the coal measures lying
near the middle of the Fort Union
with several thousand feet of lay
ers still underlying the coal meas
ures which afforded a natural hab-
itat for the varying stages of de-
velopment of mammal life.

Oil From Coal

It is clear that there is no longer any need to worry about the exhaustion of petroleum. No doubt our petroleum pools will play out eventually, uncer the tremendous de- mand for motor and furnace fuels. But 1t is evident that coal is going to be complete substitute. and there is apparently enough coal in the world to last humanity for thousands of years.
 It is one of the supreme triumphs of in- dustrial chemistry that even now it IS pos sble to turn ordinary coal into petroleum and derive therefrom all the important pro- ducts obtainable from the wells of Texas. Oklahoma, or Pennsylvania. Germans have led in this laboratory prospecting. Dr Fred eriek Bergius of the University of Heidel- berg has worked out fairly simple method based on the "hydrogenation' of coal.
 Finding that coal consists chiefly of car bon and hydrogen in ratio of l6 to one and that average petroleum consists of the same elements in ratio of eight to one, he proceeded to double the hydrogen content of coal It was merely question of mechanl- cal process. After considerable experiment. ing, he found that the way to do it is to powder the coal, mix with 1t a little heavy oil, with suitable amount of hydrogen. and heat the mixture under high pressure to temperature of 450 degrees centigrade. From a ton of coal he gets long series of products of varying density, including 45 gallons of gasoline, still larger amount of heavy fuel oil, heavy lubricating oils, ammonia and carbolic acid
 It will probably not be many years until our oil refineries are tapping coal mines along with oil wells and pouring these coal products into the market. Here, evidently. is the way to prosperity for the coal com panies if they can hang on until the easy and cheap petroleum is gone.

Ghosts of the Past

 Mir Hoover also delivered himself on a worrisome remark after his trip to the Virgin Islands. He referred to them as an "effec- tive workhouse' Not exactly compliment tary as many islanders thought. In this cate gory also must go that most famous of declarations of the Hoover administration. delivered by diverse members of the family. namely Just around the corner" They referred to prosperity.

Radio Evils

There is hope for American radio fans above the moron stage in the new Canadian system, whereby commercial bradcasters have agreed to limit their advertising matter to the mere mention of the sponsors name. address the nature of his business or product. This arrangement. which has been in oper- ation for several months, seems to please the Canadian public, and such of the American public as tunes in on Canadian stations. And there is no evidence that the advertisers are losing by it. But the example IS slow to spread over the border.
 As for the situation in this country, read the despairing words of Lee de Forest the father of American radio: Why should anyone want to buy radio or new tubes for an old set when nine -tenths of what one can hear is the continuous drivel of second rate jazz. sickening crooning by degenerate sax players, interrupted by blatant sales talk. impudent commands to buy or try. actually imposed over back ground of what might alone have been good music?'
 The great sins of the broadcastng com panies and their advertisers are two. First, they cater to the morons much more than they do to intelligent people. Second, when they do broadcast programs of good quality, they usually ruin them by blatant sales talk" of which De Forest so eloquently complains. This cannot last forever. Sooner or later even our mueh-enduring American public will wake up and do some thing about it, as the Canadian public did.

Lavery For Chairman

Complete aequiescence from former Ma t;onal Committeeman Thomas J. Spellacy off Hartford to the selection of Hugh J. Lavery of Bridgeport as chairman of the democratic state central committee indicates that oblivion is intended for Archloaio WcNeil, Jr, the present national committee man. It was Mir McNel, together with Dr Edward G. Dolan of South Manchester. John A. Cornell of Bridgeport, and several others who busted Messrs Spellacy and Fltz- oerald from control of the party Tn Connee- ficut. With ringing mayoralty victories m New Haven and Hartford the latter duo an- nounced their return to the jousts this month z It is understood that the choice Of MT Eavery, who once served as United States Commissioner, is favored by practically all Actions of the party. But his choice would De more than pleasing to Mir Spellacy and no doubt to Mir Fitzgerald as it would enable them to point out that with the state chair- fnanship in Bridgeport and Fairfield county the post of national committeeman should qo to some other section of the state. What 4 natural request And what more natural than that somebody like James J. Walsh of NeI1Qen DC dS hatiOhoi man. What matter 1t that Mir Walsh acted as state chairman through troubled periods of democratic failure!
 Of course, that may be purely magma tion upon our part, but 1t sounds eonvinc- ing. And if Mir Lavery, who. by the way, is one of the best known political figures Tn Fairfield county. should meet with state wide approval certainly there could be no faetional difference on that score. But we want to hear Governor Cross commit him- self on the subject of the state chairman be- fcxe drawing too many conclusions. Before the state central committee makes its decision well wager that the governor will do more than abide by its decision as many have stated he would do. He was firm m picking ont his own campaign manager Tn l93o. If he isn't even more adamant alter one wear of administration we are mistaken Tn the man.
 To our way of thinking failure of the governor to state his position on the state etairmanship would show lack of enthusi- am upon Governor Cross part with refer cnee to the l932 campaign. Perhaps he IS not over anxious about second term. But he is fully aware that the party needs him as it's color bearer for one more term at the very least There may be good republican campaign material in this party leadership row, but certainly far inferior to that furn- ishcd the democrats at the legislative session this spring. Democratic guns ought to be we'll primed now for terrific oroadsde next fall The advantage that IS now ours sbouldn't be sacrificed for d mere title or tWO

< GARDEN PLAN VANISHES M (Hartford Times)

It now appears that Henry Ford is not to compel his employees to cultivate gardens or lose their jobs in lis factories after all. In fact, he ayers that he never adopted such a plan and that a remark he made some weeks ago on the sub ject had been misconstrued. This correction Is made in a letter which he wrote to q Michigan grange which had voted protest against his alleged plan. It has not been disclosed what the original remark was. nor to whom 1t had been made that gave occasion to the widely distributed report that Ford had made gardening requisite of em-' ployment in his shops.
 One cannot suppress the surmise that the unfavorable reception gem erally accorded the Ford idea may have had something to wo with its belated denial. While there are very good reasons why the unem- ployed should cultivate gardens, the same cannot be said for those who have work when there Is al- ready an over-supply of garden produce. This the grange did not fail to point out to the automobile manufacturer. The field is now clear for some more, Fordiana.

FIXING THE TAX RATE
(Meriden Journal,

(Meriden JOurnaD
 Meriden will fix it's tax rate next February. But next month, the board of apportionment and taxa ton will sit to lay the appropria- tions for 1882. The December meeting is important; the other is simply to tell the taxpayer how much money he must produce to meet expenditures that have been authorized.
 Mayor Hayes of Waterbury set about this job in different way this year. He gave his finance board a mark of 34 mills to shoot q: for 1892 and said that budget items must be trimmed to. assure that rate.
 That in Waterbury meant some- thir~ Az only a couple of years ago the rate was AZ mills. More- over, bonds are coming home to roost. Payment of $2O0,000 must be made next year as the first ma turity on $2,0O0,000 bond issue which was fioated in 1928 to fin- ance part of a $4.000.000 debt re- sulting from budget deficits cover ing several years.
 Even so, Waterbury's executive was determined to reduce taxes and to do it by limited the spend- ing of his finance board. Fixed charges such as bonds must be met so the cuts have to come else- where. Other cities can benefit from Waterbury's painful experi- chce in tax matters. s-a

Texas lone republican representation in Congress is gone. perhaps forever. The election of Richard M. Kleberg. democrat, of Corpus Christi Tuesday gave the demo- cratic party substantial margin in the House. The late Representative Harry M. Wurzbach held the position for ten years. Now the democrats have 2l8 members in the House republicans 2l4 and farmer labor There are two vacancies. one in New Hampshire, the other in New Jersey. Both former incumbents were republicans and it is hardly likely that the democrats will capture either seat, although they do expect to make a contest of the Jersey election. Governor elect A Harry Moore, democrat, carried this New Jersey congressional district by 10000 votes early this month. Democrats are counting seriously on that. However, one way or the other the democrats will organ ize the House.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-11-27

The famous boundary controversy be- tween New Hampshire and Vermont IS still raging. The United States Supreme Court has just given Vermont permission to amend its charges. Vermont now claims that the state line should follow the Connecticut river from Pittsburgh, N. H. to Vernon Vt. and from there along the west bank of the river at low watermark to the northern boundary of Massachusetts. With rivers varying in their courses over period of a century 1t might be hard to settle this dispute without recourse to old maps and layouts. The Connecticut river has been a notorious of- fender in this respect.
