The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-07-27

at fhs U. S. Patent Office this state again led the way in patents issued in lo3E We were psssminent in 1850. too. There were states that surpassed us in the total number of patents secured, but based on population Connecticut maintained its rec ord for Yankee ingenuity. The entire group of New England states fsred well in this respect. In l93l we were credited with l, ,454 patents or one for every l.lO5 American citizens residing here. New Jer- sey came second with one patent for every l.z34 citizens. In 1930 the Connecticut record was one patent for every 1923 eiti- zens. Of course Conneetieut's supremacy in this field may be easily explained by the fact that it is such highly industrialized center. Where things are being made there you'll usually find the inventors and the seeurers of patents.

Rebuilding Slurz,s

More and more. as the dull business per iod drags on. attention is eentered in the big cities, and in industrial cities of all sizes. on the question of eliminating slums. Here. it is felt is type of constructive ef- fort which probably aeeomplishes more use full purposes than any other community en- terprise. Properly worked out. it should at the same time provide employment to many idle people. start profitable activity in many industries, redeem ugly spaces which now dsfigure the cities. furnish decent homes at moderate cost for people now living in novels. promote health and accomplish great social service.
 The American way is to undertake hous- ing projects through private enterprise. But it IS argued that in time when such enter prise is prostrated through inability to com msnd credit for such purposes it is proper that communities themselves should under take the work. And it is suggested that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. the great distributor of federal credit for emer- geney use. may consider favorably sound plans of this sort. If private capital can be obtained. all the better Here is challenge to the constructive powers of many cities.

The Record Passes

Purchase of the New Britain Record by the New Britain Herald last week closes the career of one of the older papers of the state. Publication of the Record ceased with last Saturdays edition. For 40 years the Record had been daily newspaper. For
 Al years before that it had been weekly It dated back to 1851. when it was known as the Journal and Chronicle. When the late U. S. Senator Orville H. Platt acquired
 the paper. he changed the name to the Connecticut Organ and New Britain Journal Then. Valentine Chamberlain took control and once more the name changed This time it was issued as the New Britain News The forerunner of the Record was still feel ing the pulse of popular opinion in New Britain. Its career was not yet fully es- abolished.
 While Mir Chamberlain owned the paper. he entrusted the printing of it to L. M. Guernsey. perhaps one of the best known printers in Connecticut in day when all type was set by hand. Mir Guernsey took active control of the editing and printing of the paper when the Civil War broke out and Mir Chamberlain enlisted. At the time Mir Guernsey was in partnership with J. N. Ovistt. engaged in job printing. And it was during this period that there was inculeated in the mind of one of their apprentices an idea that grew and grew with advancing years and finally eliminated in the founding of the paper that is today the Waterbury Democrat.
 Mir Guernsey called the paper the True Citizen during the Civil War. but in 1868 Mr Ovistt changed it to the Record and conducted it as such until 1880 when in turn he was succeeded by his partner. Samuel Baker. In 1888 the late James L. Doyle acquired the paper and ia has been continued by his family ever since. Four years after he bought it he brought the Record out as daily. We understand that the Record will still continue its job printing plant. doubt less under firm name, as the Herald has purchased outright the physical assets and good viii of the company.

Rats In St. Paul's

London is confronted with an appalling problem. which has nothing to do with separations or debts or disarmament or pros- perity or tariffs or world trade or anything else that comes to mind offhand. It is one of those situations that makes an Ameri- can realize again that he never. never will understand his British cousin, no matter how much he may like him. St Paufs Cathedral has long had the expert services of famous mouser named libby. libby kept down the rodent population of the old building almost single-handed. SO to speak. But libby died. Many efforts have been made to in- stall other cats in Tibby's position, but all ir vain. Either the young cats are not steady. stay-at- home creatures or .else they get fed up on hunting rats and mice and pay no attention to them. At any rate. they hold no terror for the rodents.
 The vermin have consequently increased alarmingly. According to the London Daily Mail they are now greater menace to the cathedral than its sinking foundations. They bite workmen and devour their lunches. They chase choir boys. Says the Mail: They are beginning to explore every corner of the cathedral. and nothing in the way of leather candles or dignity is immune from depredations Night watehmen confess that only strong nerves enable them to pace the swarming floors alone" Rat traps! Well- administered and potent rat poison' No. indeed. Tradition says cat must deal with the pests so there you are = and there the rats are!

The Boston Society of Natural History is making an odd request to all observers of the total eclipse of the sun on August 3l. It wants to find out just how various anil mals and birds will react to the phenome- non that occurs when the moons shadow sweeps across the northern New England states. Anybody who has an opportunity to watch the behavior of bird. or beast. when the earth is temporarily darkened. IS asked to write his or her description down on paper immediately and send it to the soeietys headquarters at 234 Berkley street. Time and place are two requisites. While Waterbury will see only partial eclipse. even this may produce odd results in our feathered friends or animals. Let's hope it won't rain or prove cloudy.

The late cornsIins Msl6nsy learned the printing trade in that old firm of Ovistt D Guernsey. becoming an apprentice at the early age of ten years. His first ambitions to print newspaper of bis own were doubt less born back in those days when he was sticking" type and feeding presses. the laborious method by which our newspaper men of generations ago learned their trade 60 thoroughly The Democrat has always felt more or less related to the Record for this reason. It was with considerable regret that we read of its passing. It was an old friend and certainly one to whom the Waterbury Democrat owed its origin.

To-day's Selected Poem,
GOING HOME Burlington Route)

How smoothly the trains run beyond the
 Missouri; Even in my sleep know when have crossed
 the river. The wheels turn as if they were glad to go; The sharp curves and windings left behind. The roadway wide open, (The crooked straight And the rough places plain.) They run smoothly. they run softly. too. There is not noise enough to trouble the light
 est sleeper. Nor jolting to wake the weary hearted. open my window and let the air blow in, The air of morning, .. That smells of grass and earth Earth. the rgrain-giver. How smoothly the trains run beyond the
 Missouri: Even h my sleep know when have crossed
 the river. The wheels turn as if they were glad to 70; They run like running water, Like youth, running away They gpin bright along the bright rails, Singing and hummipg, Singing and hummins. They run remembering. They gun rejoicings Az if they, too. were ROina home.

Tilson Drops Out

While the resignation of Representative John Q. Tilson may not cause much eon- sternation in congressional circles it eer- fainfy was bolt from the blue to adminis- traitor forces to whom Mir Tilson has been the staunchest of allies ever since Herbert Hoover was elected president, We don't imagine that the Hoover program would have fared any better had the republicans in the House chosen Mr Tilson as the minor ity leader instead of Representative Bertrand H. Snell of Amsterdam. N .Y., for in the face of party instruction and democratic ascension to control no more could be done than actually was.
 But that is past and gone. True. MT Tilson by his defeat for leadership of the party in the House lost all the honors that were formerly his and was dropped to the foot of the list as far as committee assign ments were concerned, but few people im- sgined that even this would cause him to forsake the halls that for so many years re-eehoed to the sound of his voice. The record of Mir Tilson in the House of Rep resentatives dates back to the time when Connecticut had four congressional districts and elected one more representative at large. Mr Tison was the last incumbent in this office.
 His term in office was only interrupted by one brief interlude of two years from l913-15, when the late Sheriff Thomas Reilly of Meriden went to Washington on the crest of the 1912 Wilson boom. In the postwar period Mir Tilson rose in power. He attained his full strength with the advent of Herbert Hoover He was personal friend of the presidents and might have been elected to the viee-presideney with him save for the animosity of the state republican organization towards him. Despite this antagonism Mir Tilson retained his following in the third congressional dis trict. His defeat for party leadership was extremely unfortunate. By every rule of the game he should hold the place that Representative Shell now occupies. He was next in line, but evidently was too close to the administration to appeal to the forces that controlled the republican party last December.
 There will be many reasons advanced for his retirement Colonel Iison himself ex- plains it as desire to return to his profes- sion of law and acquire some of the worldly goods that he has been sacrificing by pub lie career. That attitude IS natural. We believe that recent case be won down in his native state of Tennessee was the first one that he engaged in over period of years. The first love may prove the stronger after all. We think he could have been reelected from this third district this fall. although he was perilousy close to de- feat at his last two campaigns. We don't think he feared defeat of the national ticket. If he did. we rather imagine he would pre- fer to go down with it. The republican party of Connecticut will appreciate the power of Representative Tilson at the polls and in Congress when it attempts to replace him this year. It is no small undertaking. At this writing we can think of no worthy successor in the g.op. ranks

Creative Urge Is Bad, If You Cant Swing It

In Wind Before Dawn" Lois Montross discusses the disastrous things that can happen when q perfectly ordinary woman gets the notion that what she needs Is a lot of self-expression and freedom.
 She writes of college profess sor, Stuart Patmore, and his wife, Averill. Averill Is fragile, refined, aloof; her husband has always taken 1t for granted that she is made of finer clay than he, and when she gets pumped full of non- sense about the creative urge by 2 woman acquaintance, he lets her have her way.
 Averill. hitherto dutiful wife and a competent mother, proceeds to small all the china. She dis covers that life in the quiet uni- versity town is stifiing her. She dis covers that her husband --- a hearty, likeable, capable chap full of fine gusto for living--is cross, vulgar and a little stupid. She concludes that she. owes 1t to herself to leave him. head for Greenwich Village and go in for self-expression in. a whole-soulcd way.
 50 she doeS It. Eventually she divorces him. She travels abroad, she lectures before womep's clubs, she becomes excessively artly.
 Professor Patmore, meanwhile, has to grin and bear 1t. Unfortu- nately, he happens to be sincerely in love with his wife, and 1t takes him a few years to get straightened out. Eventually. you'll be glad to know, hes finds someone else who Is cut moro to his pattern. while empty-headed Averili winds up di- rectly back of the eight ball.

U. s. TROOPS GROSS OURCo 7 On July 27, 1918. American and French troops continued their rapid advance north of Chateau Thierry, making their total gain in this vicinity more than 10 miles.
 Defending German forces were strengthened by new regiments. but they were unable to stop the onslaught of the allied armies.
 Americans occupied Le Char mel and crossed the Ourcq near Fere- -en- Tardenois. It was learned that seven American divisions, totaIing nearly 100000 men were in the battle on the Marne.
 The crossing of the, sourcq was made despite desperate resistance on the part of crack German guard divisions. Loses on both sides were heavy.

WILLIAM R. PALMER
{ Bridgeport Times -Star) }

\
 Scores of boys who have found his farm in the Housatonic valley, their patron, William R. Palmer, former United States marshal. When dozen years ago the Knights of Columbus sought an ideal site. for a camp for boys it was MT Palmer who furnished 1t on, his farm on the road leading out to. the Stevenson dam. And ever after the camp was estab- lished. he kept his status as it's patron. Many boys owe a great deal to Camp Palmer and to the man whose name 1t bore.
 But he was too long and too &C., tive a figure in New Haven and Connecticut business and public life to be known sonly as a friend of boys. His association with the Smedley company brought hirp a host of business acquaintances. His activities as a democrat made him popular and influential in political circles. One of his most human characteristics was bls love for horses; he seemed to take about as much pride in the ap- pearance of. the Percherons which drew his company's trucks as he did interest in the business. Physically he was neaY-giant. with all of the strength and cour- age that come from years spent at sea-. He was a man that men are proud to know, and are sorry to see pass.
