drinks are sold.
They, also, are perturbed by hav-
ing the whole prohibition issue
thrown before them-a body nom
inally expected to handle revenue
measures alone.
La Guardia's argument has an
other facet, one looked upon with
anticipation by more than a few
drys in congress.
They believe that if the VolStead
act is modified, beer legalized and
permitted to be sold, that dry
Americas parching thirst will be
assuaged, and that thereafter the
loud clamor for repeal will be
softened.
Briefly, they see modification as
a safety value that will save prohi-
bition in the Constitution.
As the beer hearings go on, a new
canvas is being made by the house
Democratic leadership to determine
whether enough votes have been
changed to assure success for a new
repeal resolution, if offered.
They do not intend bringing up
repeal again, it is understood, UNI
less they actually have the votes.
In this connection, it is said that
some of those Democrats who voted
against the leadership on the first
day repeal vote believe punish
ment'' is intended for them.

Scoring modern life for its "trag-

council declared:

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-Scien-
tific research will be promoted and
not hindered by the reorganization
of the federal executive depart
ments, which will be effective in
February upon executive orders
issued by President Herbert Hoover
and reported to congress. This is
the expected general feeling in
scientific circles.
Unless congress rejects the reor-
ganization plans, the following
major changes in organizational To-
cation of scientific and engineering
bureaus Of the federal government
will be made:
The weather bureau, long in the
department. of agriculture, is fitted
into the commerce department
among bureaus that serve commerce
and industry.
Favor Realty Group Move

for aeronautics, which has been
an active research independent es-
Enlistment since World war days
is merged with commences bureau

Those interested in the advance
of public health are expected tc
view with favor the alignment OF
the United States public health
service in the education, health and
recreation group of the interior de-
partment.
The division of vital statistics of
the department of commences CEN
sus bureau is transferred to the
public health service, and this is
expected to facilitate the keeping
Of the nations health record.
The health activities of the chill
dren's bureau of the department
Of labor are not affected, however
by President Hoover's orders, al
though the conflict in functions be-
tween the children'S bureau and the
public health service has been dis
cusseed publicly in the past.
Acclaimed by Engineers
The placing of engineering ac-
tivitieS of the government under CT
william control and the grouping Of
public works activities undoubtedly
will meet with acclaim of the en-
cheering profession represented BY
the engineering council and other
bodies. This move has been ad-
vocated by engineers in the past.

This Hoarding Business

There should be universal response to President Hoover's dramatic apepal to the nation to stop hoardng and put the dol lars to work" This as he we'll says, IS the best form that patriotism could take at the present tme More than billion dollars have been taken entirely out of circulation. hidden away in bureau drawers and old stockings and deposit vaults. And every dollar hoarded means destruction of five to ten dollars of credit This timorous hiding of money is robbng business of from living person and putting it in storage.
 But while we are pointing an accusing or appealing finger at the small hoarders and bank depositors, let us be fair and candid Let us recognize that there has also been much unwise boarding by bankers them selves. In one of the richest cities in the United States, whose banks are rated as among the biggest and soundest in America, reputable business men are saying that they cant even borrow from the banks now on Liberty Bonds" There are widespread complaints that in scores of cities. gilt-edged mortgages and frst-class collateral have been aurned down flat. when the banks had plenty of money.
 The fact is that banks, like individuals, have gone too far in playing safe. One class has done as much harm as the other Private hoarders scare the bankers into excessive caution. and the bankers scare the depositors. Let the government talk to the masters of credit. Government credit goes first to the bankers. and is supposed to find its way down to individual business men and depos- tors. Let the boarding stop at the top, and it will soon stop at the bottom.

Impatience and Accidents

The police commissioner of New York city has opened safety school for drivers. His first class of about 50 pupils consisted of fleet owners of taxicabs and trucks and the managers of express companies. What he taught them will be passed along to the individual drivers the yemploy. The first days lesson dealt with impatience, which the commissioner named a major cause of accidents. Impatience of drivers at traffic lights makes them leap ahead the very in- stant the light changes without regard to whether the last fellow going across their path pedestrians or motorlst - has cleared the street. The first car through and the last one across very often hit.
 Patience at traffic lights should be i'm pressed upon everybody. It should be urged upon the pedestrian or driver who tries to make dash which he knows he can not complete before the light changes. just as much as upon the fellow waiting for the Go" signal. Theoretically the advent of the motor car should give everybody more leisure. There should be less need for haste in traffic when so much time IS saved norm ally that second or two more does not matter. Practically, it works the other way. The more speed we are able to make, the more impatient we are of even reasonable delay.

John C. Sherwood

We shall certainly miss the familiar sight of Johnnie" Sherwood and the cheery greeting that he was wont to give. Although the city has been aware for some time that Mir Sherwood was in i'll health only lnti- mates realized that he might never again be seen in public life. It came, therefore, as shock to a great many of us that he was dead. Mir Sherwood was so intimate part of our business and political life that 1t is somewhat of wrench to continue along our chosen courses with the knowledge that he will never again be in our midst.
 A good business man and good poli- tican Johnnie" Sherwood made count less friends no matter in what endeavor he engaged. His was d nature to attract men in all walks of life. He cared not for creed nor cult. What mattered to him was the inner qualities that make all of us akin. We can never remember in all the years that Mir Sherwood engaged in politics in Waterbury hearing him reproach any man or faction for not doing the impossible. He was active in republican circles at time when demo- cratic supremacy was at its height. Yet he maintained his good spirit and his unfaing courage at the same high point.
 As one of the original packers of the Chamber of Commerce idea in Waterbury, Mir Sherwood deserves a rising vote of thanks from the entire city Long before the Chamber of Commerce came to this city. Mir Sherwood was active in promoting bet ter business relations between customer and proprietor. He lived to see his ideas and his plans enlarged upon and successfully ini- tiated. He lived to see the Chamber of Com merce become the important part it is in the business life of this thriving city. And he maintained his interest in the same right up until the end.
 Citizens like John C. Sherwood are hard to replace. He was not native Waterbur- ian, but he was one at heart. He was con- scious of his duties as citizen and per- formed them to the best of his ability. What more can any man do9 The entire sym pathy of the city is extended to his family. It is needless to say more than that his mem ory will live long with us.

holding that home relief is in no sense charity.
 But read what the governor actually says in his appeal to the people of New York:
 T take this opportunity to urge all who have such hesitaney about applying for home relief to realize that home relief is in no sense charity. Home relief is being given to individuals to whom society will have failed in its obligations if it allows them to suffer through no fault of their own.
 No one who is out of work today can rightfully feel that he or she is personally responsible for having lost his or her job. The circumstances which have brought about this most serious depression in eeo- homie history have been of complex and impersonal nature. Although expert study has not yet fully arrived at understanding the nature of these circumstances, 1t IS cer- tain that if responsibility is to be lodged at any door it cannot be and will not be lodged at the door of those who need help today.
 T beg all who. through no fault of their own. are in distress, to register immediately at their local home relief bureau if they have not been able to obtain work relief. I beg them to remember that they will only be re- ceiving the assistance to which they are entitled as taxpayers of the state"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-02-08

In Colorado there are fifteen scattered tracts of land, comprising about million acres. that will i1enceforth be known as wilderness areas. This is described by one official as "a region which contains no permanent in- habitants, possesses no possibility of con- veyanee by any mechanical means. and. as general rule, is sufficiently spacious that person in crossing is away from direct con- tact with civilization" All fifteen tracts are within the boundaries of national forests. We have some of these areas in Connecticut. Anyone who has hiked through northwest ern Connecticut will vouch for its wilder ness aspect.

 Answer-If she were my patient I'd call her few names and pass surring remarks on the mental caliber of any one who could maltreat a baby like that--and probably I'd get the ai and a good doctor would get the business. Do you suppose, Nurse, this child minded mother would read or heed the Brady Baby Book if some one should put one in her hands? It is available to any one who asks for 1t and in- closes a stamped addressed envelope and a dime. It teaches the untutored mother how to avoid cultivating the physic or constipation habit in the young baby.
