Public Service

As an outlet for surplus labor highways offer the best opportunity inasmueh as they are about the only thing that can be pro- duced without gIutting the market, aeeord- ing to the president of the American Asso- ciation of State Highway Officials.
 Some 5,OO0,000 American farmers are still situated on roads that become impass- able in winter. Preventing tbem from marketing their goods at the most advantageous time. from sending their ehil- drcn to school from receiving quick medi- cal attention when needed. from keeping so- cal contacts etc.
 The expenditure of road dollar serves d double purpose. in that it puts money in circulation while actually providing something we need. and so is not to be con fused with relief appropriations that put money into circulation but do little perma- nent good. Placing man to work on road means that we provide another one with work somewhere else supplying ma tcrials.
 It is said that the country could build a hundred thousand miles of good roads now and make use of every mile That is some thing worth striving for. Every state and county must do its part. Modern develop ments which have made it possible to build fine weatherproof full-width highways for very few thousand dollars mile allow us to do needed road work without plungng ourselves into debt.

In an effort to keep college football gates at high figure all the members of the Eastern Intercollegiate Association have voted to ban radio broadeasts of all import ant contests in the East this year. Football is the only game in college programs from which any substantial revenue is derived and with which the institutions may hope to balance their athletic budgets said Major Philip B. Fleming of West Point presi- dent of the organization. Continuing. he declared that I've must keep in mind that other sports must be maintained. These ath- letic activities. ranging from ten to fifteen sports at various schools. play their parts in the physical development of American youth, In order to keep every sport alive. we must take advantage of every opportun- ity 10 increase the financial receipts of foot ball games" 1t is charged that football broadeasts have kept alumni away from games on many occasions and also, in some instances, cut the gate receipts of local games, fans preferrng 10 listen to the broad
 cast of more important game via the radio than to attend the local attraction. We can see the viewpoint of the association. Big league baseball faces the same problem and acts in similar fashion towards broadeasts.

A COLD DRAFT BLOWS THROUGH
 THE HAW HAW CORNER

| Seven Yale students have been used as cx. | pcrmental material by Drs Winslow ana | Crccnburg (we are not going to dlvulBe the | Identity of the students, because we don't want to give their mamas or papas any anxiety. The investigators exposed the students to draltH and chilling, in 26 experiments. The seven students are still alive and not much worse for their terrible experiences. They were exposed to alternate high and low temperatures and the Investigators observed | the effects on pulse. respiration. blood pres sure, surface temperature and temperature or the lining of nosc and throat. From these ex- periments the investigators concluded that chilling of the body surface produces con traction or blanchng of the mucous membrane lining nose and throat, which is nccompanied with dryncss decrease in the normal mucus secretion.
 That Is rather the opposite of the effect pop ularIy ascrbed to exposure to chilling. HOW ever, q little thing like that doesn't detain these "scientists' long, They make no bones at all of citing the banching effect of chilling as Towering the resistance" of the mucous mem brane If nobody knows what "resstance' is' that's no concern of the scientific gentlemen they wash their hands of that
 Pursuing the experiments on the seven stud cnts DTS Winsow and Grcenburg observed that fects. However. they reluctantly report only one of the seven subjects developed cold during the of the experiments. What ever that may mean. DTS WinSlow WI, .,s.,,,,na ana phygicans health experts to commit them selves about that In their work It Is much more interesting to leave the question What is q cold" unanswered. It gives vast field for speculation.
 Thus conclude the savants. while drafts apparently may prcdspose one to colds, chill ing of tho feet other part of the body as n whole has no demonstrabIe influence on res- plratory infections.
 This will come shock to lot Of old women in the profession.
 But 1t won't make q bit of difference to the rank and file of physicians who find the cold" obscBsion handy where it Is desirable to hedge

 AS long as there is plenty of experimental material available at Yale we can defer our plan to turn over long term or life convicts to the doctors for the purpose. As long as there are heroes who are willing to get their feet wet sit in q draft while the scientists observe the effects, I suppose the dear old "cold" delusion will survive.

Despite the lack of federal funds, all ef- forts to provide migratory game bird refuges will continue unabated. Every agency that is at all interested in this con- servation program will be enlisted in the campaign to find these natural havens where birds may feed in safety during their mi- gratory periods In 1929 the government program called for several hundreds of these refuges. To keep up with the work. state organizations may be enlisted So that the proper land may be acquired.

 Indignation at the growth of sweQtrbops in Connecticut goes for wnrd with Governor Cross himself taking hand.
 Joseph NJ. Tone, state commits sioncr of labor and factory inspec- ton has gone to considerable pains to show the state that the growth Of this species of industry has been
 due in large part to the lack of adequate lnws in the state, com
 pared with ssachcusetts and New York.
 Yet n dispatch from Fall River is not to be overlooked.
 It appeared in the Herald and
 was from State Labor Commissions CT Edwin s. Smith. It stated that in Ia Fall River garment factories more than 4S per cont of the girls and women employed earned less than $S Q week. Comparing this with the Province of Ontario, Can-. ada, where q minimum wage board functions, 1t was found that nll but 1 per cent of nearly 10000 wonncn and. children of nearly 10000 wo- men and children in the province received moro than the e8 . week ---and 1t is to be remembered that living costs in Canada are uniform-s 1y lower than in the United States. "Something will have to be done in Connccticuty' Governor Cross wns quoted as saying; the situation he described as / very serious" | When swcntshops crowd into the state from New York and Massa-
 chpsctts the situation surely Is of | this nature.
 CommlssIoner Tone and his
 deputy, Professor Wesley J. Cou. i per, are working on progressive Iiegislation, to present to the next | IicEisiature. Many citizens are of the opinion such iegisintion has been soreiy needed in this state for years.

When thousands of people can view the many rose gardens that are now feature of municipal parks in this state it is a wholesome sign. According to all reports Elizabeth Park in Hartford attracted 50.- 900 on Sunday which was officially desig- hated as Rose Sunday. Half that many people were at the rose gardens in East Rock Park. New Haven. New Bfitan's rose gardens are at their best display this week. When men can turn their energies to the production of such beautiful sights as these gardens we know alIs well with the world And this city does not have to take back scat in this respect. While we have no rose garden of the size of Elizabeth Parks. our display at Hamilton Park is worthy of attention. Fulton and Chase parks also must be ranked for natural and artificial beauty. Waterbury is we'll provided with beauty spots. Let us enjoy them.

SEYMOUR DENIED
RIGHT TO APPEAL
Trial on May 80 of Perjury
Charges in Nebraska Sen
atoriaI Campaign.
BY the Associated Press.


ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 13.-The
right to carry his case to the Circuit
Court of Appeals yesterday was denied
Victor z. Seymour, Lincoln, Nebr., poll
tician, under indictment for perjury.
The case grew out Of the filing OF two
men named George w. Norris in the
1890 Republican senatorial campaign in
Nebraska.
Judges A. X. Gardner, J. B. Sanborn
and w. F. Booth acted adversely on the
application for permission to bring the
case before them.
Trial Set for May 30.
w. C. Dorsey of Omaha, counsel for
Seymour, said no further steps were
planned before the trial, set for May 80.
He brought action in an effort to pre-
vent trial.
Judge It. c. Munger of Nebraska, in
Federal District Court, declined Sey-
mour's application for writ Of habeas
corpus and also declined an appeal to
the Circuit Court on the decision.
There Is no case on record and
there Is no authority on record any
where to show that any committee of
the United States Senate has ever pro-
ceeded against, or had authority to pro-
ceed against, any witness outside Of the

mour contended.

BEAUMONT, Tex, May 13.-The
best rail splitter, bear killer, deer hun
ter, guide and all-around woodsman in
Hardin County is a grizzled, 75-year-
old veteran of the tree country, who
has been paralyzed from the waist
down since he was a boy.
In a sturdy, comfortable log cabin,
Fount Simmons lives in the big
Thicket," with his cream-and-yellow
hunting dog Midge, and hazards the
opinion: 1T amt q mans legs that
makes or mars him. It's something in
side him"
The something inside Simmons led
him. as lad of 10, to get around on
his hands and knees when long siege
of fever left him crippled.
1t made him learn to ride horseback
in the saddle his father had brought
back from the Civil War. 1t urged him
to practice with his fathers Army rife
until he was crack shot.
He became a cunning trapper, skilled
in skinning animals and dressing their
pelts. When surveying parties and lum-
Der camps began invading the Big
Thicket," Fount became their scout,
guide and provider of meat.
He figures he has ridden 275,000 miles
in his old saddle, many times repaired
and rebuilt. For years he was the sole
support of his aged mother, for his
fathers death not long after the Civil
War left the crippled boy the man OF
the house"
More recently he has supplemented
his income by weaving baskets. His
hobby is dogs, and he claims he knows
the howl of every dog for miles around.

MAGNUS JOHNSON
/ TRYING COMEBACK
He and Adam Bede, Who Also
! Has Strong Lungs, Seek
House Seats.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press,
MINNEAPOLIS, May 13.-Two men
who once we're colorful figures in Con-
e.gresS are getting their powerful voices
IN shape for political comeback at
tempts.
One is Magnus johnson, former
United States Senator, whose milking
contests won him more attention than
his program of legislation.
The other is Adam Bede, whose name
drawn from the fonts of fiction, is
scarcely more famous than the power
of his lungs.
Both are running for Farmer Labor
nominations for Representative in Con-
gress Minnesota's urinary is June 20.
Bede, who has been Republican and
Democrat in turn, served in Congress
as Republican nearly 25 years ago
He is strongly opposing prohibition in
his present campaign.
Wants to Be Serious.
His one lament is that he always
has wanted to be taken seriously, but
- his fame as a humorist seldom has al
. lowed it.
mo matter how serious I was in
Congress, people came expecting laugh
and they laughed when least intended
to be funny he said. Now I crack
wise only when I have to-and still
they laugh sometimes.
There is nothing funny about our
national life any more, and in this
campaign I am going to be serious if
there ever was such a thing"
johnson, who first earned his living
as a glass-blower in Sweden, attributes
the power of his voice to that unora-
toricel profession. Later he was a lum-
berj4k in Wisconsin, then carved out
his homestead from virgin timber in
Minnesota. His first speech was made
in an effort to organize other wood
cutters to strike for higher prices for
cordwood
He talked his way into one of Mime
kota's most sensational political vic
tories. defeating j. A. o. PreuS, then
Governor, for the Senate in special
election in 1928 to name successor
TO the late Senator Knute Nelson.
Defeated BY SehalL
But Johnson's term was short.
Thomas D. Schall, young Represent
ative in Congress. who had been blind
since youth. bested him in the campaign
for ballots for the full term, and John
son went back to his farm.
For the last year he has worked
for the State as an appraiser Of farm
lands, but he was one of the first to
file when it became a certainty that
Minnesota would elect all of its nine
Representatives at large this year.
Bede, a member of the Minnesota
Legislature in its last session. is a short,
gray-haired man, who, back in Grover
Cleveland's second administration, was
United States marshal in Minnesota.
He has edited newspapers, written
; books and made speeches for living,
but politics has been his avocation
since he was IL years old.
johnson was beaten in milking con-
tests several times during his senator
ship, including one defeat at the hands
of the late Henry Wallace, then Sec
retary of Agriculture.
