Public Forest Policy

A study of foreign public forest policies, made by the Unit Cd States forest service, shows that while public control in the United States has been almost wholly confined to requirements for protection against fire, other countries, as a rule, have gone considerably further, particul- arly with respect to forests that serve to prevent soil erosion CT to regulate stream flow, or that serve other public interests. Most of these countries are at the same time gradually extend irg the area of public forests.

Los Angeles, Calf. You will re- member that MT. Colburn visited Alaska with me two years ago.
 MT. Sherman Horne is the greatest importer of wild ami mals in Alaska. ct is inferred that MT. Sawyer may have meant the United States instead of Alaska) and MT. Colburn has the finest fur stock in Los An geles. MT. Colburn is also some what of a naturalist and inter- ested in the wild life resources as you will note from the fact that he has just recently re- turned from a cruise to the Amazon River with MT. Whillite Hole, whom you are familiar with because of his yacht visits to Alaska almost annually.
 "The point I discussed with Messrs. Horne and Colburne was the possibility of their supplying animals to fur farmers in Alas ka on some sort of a 50-50 basis. I believe there are many fur farmers in Alaska who would welcome some kind of new stock and believe MT. Colburn is in~ clined to finance supply of new stock in cooperation with MT. Horne. Perhaps some kind of a deal on the basis of 50 per cent of the profits to be returned to Colburn and Horne could be arranged.
 MT. Colburn advises me that in his estimation the best fur bearing animal to be introduced and produced in fur farms in the Territory would be the fisher, be- cause the market price of fisher seems to be more constant and consistent than most of the oth- CT animals. Both Colburn and Horne also speak highly of the possibilities of racoon, which, as you know, eats most anything

AT LAST-the coffee you've dreamed of!
A coffee that's superbly blended to begin

You can't do better in coffee than this.
For 66 years, Chase & Sanborn have been

the choicest coffee beans in the world.
But no matter how fine coffee is-it must
be fresh. Only while fresh does coffee keep its
full favor.
For COFFEE IS PERISHABLE. The
delicate oils that carry the flavor and aroma turn
rancid if coffee is allowed to get stale Rancid
oil in stale coffee spoils the Aavor--and even
causes sleeplessness, headaches, indigestion.
So to guarantee you tre5hnes5-to make sure

HOOVER AIDS MOVE
FOR S|X-H0UR DAY
Union Leaders Hail Signing
of Resolution Ordering
Thorough Study.

The movement for the 6-hour work
day for which the railroad brotherhoods
have long contended today had been
advanced a notch.
A resolution calling upon the Inter
state Commerce Commission to investi-
gate the feasibility Of establishing six
hours as the basic work day was signed
by President Hoover yesterday. BY its
terms, the report must be made to Con-
gress by December is. Eight hours now
is the basic day.
All Glasses Incfdded.
The commission report is to include
estimates of the cost of establishing the
short day" for "all classes and each
particular class" of workers. The COM
mission is also directed to determine
what effect the shorter day would have
on operations and service.
Word that the President had signed
the resolution was received with salts
faction In labor circles, where the
shorter day is visioned as the spearhead
of the attack on unemployment caused
by substitution of machinery for man
power.
Timothy Shea, assistant to the presi-
dent of the Railway Labor Executives
Association, now presiding at the meet
ing here of that organization which in
cludes all rail unions, declared that 35
per cent of the unemployment in all
industry-railroads and other lineS-iS
due to mechanical Improvements, and
that the workers must lave some relief.

Shea said that the shorter day also
would be instrumental in taking up
some of the slack" in unemployment
that the labor leaders foresee as a re-
suit Of projected railroad consultations.

FORT NECESSITY, Pa, March IS
IN. A. N. A.. The lone man who es-
capped from Washington's first attack
upon the French carried back to Fort
Duquesne a tale that set Gallo blood
boiling, and an expedition hastened
forth to punish this latest treachery OF
perfidious Albion.
The "Buckskin General" as the off,
GERS of Louis XIV scornfully called the
21-year-old Virginian, was 80 miles
west of here when he learned of this
advance against him, and he started
for home. He ha1 been sent to pull
the chestnuts of the Ohio Company out
of the fire and he had been left to do
it with bare hands. After appealing in
vain for promised reinforcements and
euuipment, there remained no recourse
but retreat.
With nearly a third of his men sick,
mostly from lack Of food, the rest could
not even crawl to safety on empty
stomachs. Instead they crawled into
this hole here, where the name of Fort
Necessity was eloquent of their exhaus-
ton and despair when they sank down
within It's frail protection.

Indian chief, more wise, laughed at him
for thinking that the enemy would at
tack him from the open, treeless plain
in front of the fort. Back Of it there
were-and still are-trees aplenty on
the hill that commanded the fortif1ca-
tion. Naturally the French and Indians
chose that vantage point.
Standing up, Washingtons men pre-
sented easy targets, and he ordered
them to lie down, where they wallowed
in the mud of Summer torrent. Per-
haps few of them could have stood II
they had tried after the excess of rum
over more solid rations had been poured
into their empty stomachs. Still they
somehow held out under an 8-hour
attack upon their pig sty. When they
received in the evening the terms OF
their inevitable surrender, Washington
was surprised to find that he was to be
permitted to march them out with the
honors of war and return home with
them on parole.
Generous as the terms were, they
contained a word that continued Tor
many years to taunt the young COM

Save the Streets

Superintendent of Streets Thomas Elem ing gave some timely advice this week when he notified the heads of both the po- lice and fire departments that many people in this city were violating an ordinance for- bidding the burning of rubbish in the gut ters or street proper. The sight of piles, of burning leaves in our streets in autumn and spring is common one. It isn't necessarily confined to Waterbury. It's just good old New England custom that was handed down to us by our fathers In their day there could be harm done to the dirt roads upon which their property fronted. To-day the damage in year is considerable.
 As Superintendent Fleming explained the heat from the fires causes the tar in our penetration pavements to run and thus de- terioriate Such binding properties, as 1t possesses, are lost. Passage of feet and vehicles wears down the remaining stone particles until they form nothing but dust which winds and rains carry away. Where the tar has run and become dead hole remains. Indignant taxpayers write to the mayor and various other city officials com plaining about the dangerous ruts ana breaks in the pavement near their homes. Had they or their neighbors burned their refuse in their back yards the damage might not have resulted.
 We trust that Superintendent Fleming will secure the proper cooperation from the enforcement agencies of the city. The fire department. of course, can forbid any and all bonfires within the city limits it sees fit. As matter of fact permits are required by law for the same, but due to the general use of incinerators of recent years there has been a tendency to permit taxpayers con- siderable leeway. However, our annual loss from brush fires is considerable when we estimate in that the time that our firemen spend in fighting such blazes. It would pay us we think. to refrain from burning rubbish in the gutters or streets where there is hard pavement.

Movie Quality Improves

The Imperial conference at Ottawa in July will take up the little matter of British motion pictures along with others of more importance. The talkie, it is said, has made it somewhat easier for English-made films to compete with those made in America, but the latter still dominate the foreign market even in the British Empire. Only about 20 per cent of the talkies shown in London are made in Great Britain. India sees per cent British films. The other members of the British commonwealth of na- tions range somewhere between those two, with practically all of the remaining 80 to o9 per cent pictures being Ameriean-made
 The answer would seem to be for the British producers to make pictures which the public would like better than 1t does American films, and to get the cost down to a point which would make them more at- tractive to exhibitors. too. In the meantime the industry in this country has declared its intention to increase business at home and to hold its own abroad by improving the qual- ity and giving the public something little better than it expects right along. The fans, apparently. are to be sure winners in this international rivalry.

Only Sixteen Votes

While sixteen votes might play an im- portant part in deciding one way or the other the choice of presidential candidate at the democratic national convention in June the chances are that they will be sim ply sixteen more votes for the successful . man. We advise our Connecticut demo- cratic who are worrying their heads s over tn, ,...nces of Governor Roosevelt and his predecessor. Alfred E. Smith, to remem- { Der that. There IS no sense in fighting so { strenuously over these sixteen votes that Connecticut will cast at the national con- vention.
 Ultimately they will be cast as one for { the successful man. Perhaps in the early stages of the convention they will be divid- cd. but we know that the democrats of this state, as we'll as every other state in the Union, are too intent upon eleeting the next president to ruin their chances by little boy display of temperament. If most of those zealots who are now clamoring for
 
 simply remember that this state only has sixteen votes, which may or may not play a part in deciding the issue at Chicago. per- haps there would be less pickering at this carly date.
 If Governor Roosevelt is the nominee of the democratic party 1t will be up to us here in Connecticut to guarantee him of the states electoral vote next November. If the candidate IS Alfred E. Smith, Newton D. . Baker, Owen Young. Governor Albert C. Ritchie or any other man We expect the some sort of support and the same desire to have Connecticut go democratic. We were successful in 1850 in breaking the hold that the republican organization under the monarehistie rule of J. Henry Rorabaek had secured on every department of the state. In breaking that hold the democrats did somethirg to win the plaudits of the entire nation. we'll aware of the political ability of the Roraback organization. We don't in- tend to let go our hold this year. do we, simply so that we may snap at one another!

Capitalism On Trial, Harvard

Capitalism is on trial, and on the issue of this trial may depend the whole future of western civil ization."
 Dean Wallace B. Donham of the Harvard School of Business Administration makes this state- ment in the closing paragraphs Of Business Looks at the Unfore- seen," a thoughtful. conservative discussion of the current depres- sion just issued by WhAttlesey House.
 The depression, says Dean Donham. lis not merely 8 business cycle, but !. is a culmination of far reaching and persistent changes, calling for reappraisal of the effects of the industrial rev. olution on the world" To wait for things to adjust themselves, he says, will be fatal; if wages and the prices. of manufactured goods are to come down to the present level of prices of raw materials and farm products, we shall have an intolerable defiation and enough bankruptcies and failures to de- stroy all progress for a generation.
 So he suggests certain reme- dies. First, he says. there should be an economic general stan. !" including representative of gov- ernment, industry and labor. It should plan and make recommen- dations, but it should have no power of control, lest it turn into an unwieldy and officious bureau cracy.
 Next, he says. we should re- alize that no nation, after this, can wax prosperous on foreign trade. All great industrial na- tions, he insists, must concentrate on their home markets. The day of financial and industrial tmpert- alism, he asserts, is dead.
 Then the domestic market must be restored. Public works pro- grams, government employment agencies and the like must be oe- vlsed to restore. employment; this done, 1t must be realized that there is ''Qo ckance of continuous good business except throHgh widespread economic stability and hieh g4nera1 afAnoards of livins'"

Chief Justice William M. Maltbie of the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors con tinues his campaign against our present sys- tenn of county jails. Speaking over the radio this week in an address sponsored by the Connecticut State Federation of Women's s Clubs he stated that Absolute lack of segre- gation among classes of offenders is perhaps the strongest indictment against the county jail. j. It is perfectly evident that there is no opportunity in the jails to build new foundations of life. but that the results must almost inevitably be downward progress. a step forward on that path which will lead those girls and women back again to old habits and offenses or to more serious ot- lenses. Connecticut has been first or near first. in SO many things that we ought to strive to be first also in this endeavor to wipe out these terrible blots on our social life, first to give to that class of women and girls now sent to our jails fair opportunity to go out from their period of confinement not worse. but better equipped than when they entered to be useful law-abiding and decent citizens. = We presume that the chief justice will carry his fight for the elimination of the county jails and substitu- ton of central farm to the Legislature next year. As far as that is concerned the entire county might we'll be eliminated. so small part does it play in our political life today.
