never gone more aptly or with

DR. Maher has been one Of those
very fortunate crusaders who have

NO WILSON'S THRUSH
Hartford Courantl


The Courant noted not long ago
that the general court of Massa-
chusetts had before 1t bill maxi
ing the Wilson's thrush the state
bird. It Is now in order to re-
mark that Wilson's thrush has not
been so honored. We assume that
It will not affect the birds song.
and we know that the Massachu-
sets legislators spent an afternoon
in which, to use an ancient phrase,
"a good time was had by ALL" 1t
was the type of enjoyment expert
enced by a group Of street gamins
who discover a friendless kitten.
The bill was sponsored by q
number from Brewster. and the
barrage opened when q member
from Uxbridge disclosed that the
bird sings with enthusiasm In wet
countries. There were protests, we
are told, by those afiiliated with
the Saloon league, and a third
member protested against the
birds known habit OF going to
Florida for the winter. He made
matters worse when he said he
had received letters Of protest from
n Colonel Swan, q Mrs Pigeon and
colonel Amos Woodcock. Finally
q member Of the committee IN
charge OF the bill said that he had
received a letter asking, "since
when did Massachusetts, desert Old
Crow" The hill was rejected.
No great harm was done. A state
should protect all its birds, but Il
10 not necessary that Il should use
either q bird or q flower nH q
totem. Let m hope that the VIII
son's thrush, ana most other birds
common 10 Misssnehusetts increase
and multiply. II they could DO

two OF our imporiaiions. the Eng-
iish sparrow and the starting. u

Looks Like q Racket

From all outward Appearances the whole.
sale arrests that Southinston police are max
ing in Milldsde these days resembles racket
We wouldn't be surprised to find some
dauntless motorist carrying his case to the
courts to find out If the eonstables who are
making the arrests are within their jurisdie-
ton. 1t might also be good idea for some
inquisitive motorist to ascertain If the State
Motor Vehicle Department has approved the
''stop" signs which are being ignored BY
the hurryins hofdes.
When hundreds of motorists are halted
and forced to surrender IS bond in lieu
Of appearance at a later date. there must be
something wrong. If a few drivers failed
to zee the stop" sign. we might not COM
rnent upon it. but when sores of drivers
evidently don't notice the warning then
we grow suspicious. We are led to believe
that perhaps the signs might not be as
noticeable as they could be. From this we
might conclude that the town officials had
not erected them as efficiently as they might
b. Of course. we would not wish to con-
strue this as evidence of desire to profit at
the expense of unwary motorists.
Trap set by town eonstables and other
enforcement officers are not popular in this
state. There have been evidences of such in
past years. Motorists are usually willing to
forfeit their bond rather than face similar
fine. plus court costs that usually amount
TO three times as much as the fine. Road
side courts have been often established where
the enforcement officer was unusually active
and the town officials wished to dispose Of
the cases rapidly. We have tried to diseour.
age them with some degree of success.
We sincerely hope that Southinston isn't

great minds gag any more seriously than

Courier editor that What is read often
sinks below consciousness into what is called
the subeonseious mind. The same is true
with things that are heard. 1t is impossible
to forget anything. provided there is some
stimulus to recall it to active consciousness.
Often some sight or impulse reopens the
threshold of the subeonseious and admits
practically forgotten knowledge into con-
sciousness. For the do-psychologists
this is point full of many speculative pos
sibilities. Can it be that the vague memoir

Spartanburg, S. C. (ILNS)-G. A.
Hamrick, overseer of spinning at the
Lyman plant of the Pacific Mills
Company, was arrested on charge
OF violating the South Carolina GRIM
iral code in that he is alleged to have
discharged an employe for suspect
ed" membership in labor organiza-
tion. Hamrick was released on his
own bond for appearance at trial.
The charge is the outgrowth Of the
dismissal of Walter Holcomb, an en-
ploye in the spinning room, on Feb
ruary 20. Holcomb's discharge no
tice, exhibited at a hearing before
Magistrate Lancaster, gave as the
reason for the dismissal suspected
Of belonging to a union" The notice
was filled in by Hamrick.
The warrant for Mamrick's arrest
was sworn out by representative Of
the state commissioner of agricul-
ture, commerce and industries. The
warrant charges Hamrick with vio-
lating Section 1899 of the criminal
code Of 1892, which makes guilty of a
misdemeanor any person or corpora
ton who shall discharge or discrim-
mate in the payment Of wages against
any person because Of his or her mem
