Bigger Biggest Liners

Steamship lines continue their rivalry It was recently reported that the Cunard Line would resume work on the great ship it start cd building just before the depression became acute. On the heels of that rumor' comes the definite announcement of the French Line that it has now under construction a steamship so far known only as the To, which will be ready for international trade in lo34 and will be the worlds largest ship flor while.
 The T-6 will total 63,000 tons. It will be built for speed of 28 knots. Engineer ing details and the nature of its accommo- dations are being kept secret for the present. The assertion that the great liners now in service will be "outmoded' by l934. when the T-6 takes the water, implies something new in design, decoration or power.
 So the race goes on. The outmoded ships doubtless will be replaced by new ves- sels which will in their turn make the T-6 old-fashioned It is a costly competition which does not give the traveller much for his money except needless luxury and size. Some day some steamship line may be in- spired to do something on less extravagant scale for the benefit of yoyagers who love the sea and who can be content without floating palaces and night clubs.

All The World His Oyster

Dr. Vera Koehrine. addressing the Ma tional Shell Fisheries Association in Wash ington this week deplored our lack of humanity in the method by which we dis patch of countless millions of oysters an- nually. The doctor. who incidentally is on the United States Bureau of Fisheries. would have all oysters die painless death by im- mersion in an anaesthetie bath. The com mon method now of marketing the biz valves is merely to split the tightly -elosed shells with some sharp instrument and de- taeh the creature from its resting place with another movement of the knife.
 That is too barbaric for Dr Koehring. Merely plunging the oysters into solution of dioxide, tactic acid, and boric acid would do the trick much less painlessly and even cheaper than the manual method. While we have no desire to inflict on the long suffer ing oyster undue and harsh 'treament we thing that perhaps the doctor ascribes to the creature too many feelings. For in the first place. has it ever definitely been es- tablished that an oyster possesses the neces- sary nervous system to undergo pain when its shells are rudely separated and IS torn rom US mOOrlnS place.
 If the oyster deserves an acid bath to produce eternal sleep, then certainly the lobster, or the crab, deserve some more fit- ting end than that of being plunged into boiling water. It is claimed that Holsters can be placed into warm water. which is brought to boil gradually, and shuffled off this mortal coil in quite humane fashion. Many housewives maintain that this IS bound to tougher the flesh, but science says no. And if we are to extend clemency to the shelled fish on its death bed. what of the domestic creatures with which we sur round ourselves, yet do but little to make their lives with us more comfortable and natural.
 If science wants to protect all living things let it begin with the horse and the dog, long the bosom companions of man. but too often badly mistreated States are gradually recognizing the injustices that parade under the guise of beauty. No longer can the ears and tails of dogs be trimmed and fashioned to the reigning mode in society. The horse is receiving more at- tention, too. Docking of tails is cruel and senseless operation. But even more barbaric in application and in effect is the operation of setting up horses tails Who can express the suffering that the horse must endure while the cords and muscles are being severed broken, and strapped into wierd and unnatural postures. If oysters must die painless death before passing through the esophagus of many an epi- curean then we claim the docked tail and trimmed ear of horse and dog must be abolished.

Honor For Tapping Reeve

Litchhelds participation Tn the George Washington Beentennial celebration might we'll involve every inhabitant of the historic old county seat as well as every portion of the town itself. Litchhed is one of the most delightful of our carly Connection, towns. It still retains much of its natural beauty and charm It probably always will be treated lightly by the hand of progress. There is a rural simplicity about the place that its inhabitants. old and young, cherish and seek to preserve as a precious heirloom. If any town in Connecticut is privileged to hold a Washington celebration, it cer- tainly is Ltehfeld
 There are many historic spots in Litch- field. too numerous to mention here but It was welcome news to read that Tapping Reeves old law school. the first in this country. will occupy the foreground in the observance of Washington's bicentennial. Pounded in 1774, the school became the parent of the forefathers of the nation. It is safe to say that in it were cradled the majority of our public officials of the last part of the 9th and the first half of the 9th centuries. The original Tapping Reeve school building. a small. one-room affair. still stands behind the Litchheld Li brary where it is preserved in the interests of history.
 At one time Judge Arthur F. Els, former resident of this city, but for many years now Litchheld resident made an urgent plea to establish summer school for law students in the Tapping Reeve building as an adjunct to the Yale Law School. It would be used only for research work by such students as had shown themselves cap able and desirous of such work under the hallowed roof of the first law school To the best of our knowledge the plea met with little response from Yale University author ities. who doubtless placed the practical side above the more aesthetic. for. in 1929 the. the Litehheld Historical Society acquired the Tapping Reeve School and still own it.
 It is said that Washington visited Liteh- field in l780. We certainly would be in- elined to believe that he might have passed through Litehheld on more than one oeeas- ion. Phelps Tavern boasts of the fact that Washington stayed there. And when we recall the lineage of some of those Liteh. heidites of the e-Revolutionary days. we realize full well that any visit of Washing. ton must have been attended by great pomp and much social ceremony. We know. if we were asked to pick the Connecticut town. mol truly colonial in appearance and hiss tpry. we should point to Litehheld. Others

Vet Condemns Bonus Army
 As Paid. Patriots

Tn Peace Veterans," Roger Burlingame, former lieutenant in the 3Osth machine gun battalion in the A. E. F., presents an ex-
 service mans criticism of the bonus racket.
 Racket, in MT Burlingame's opinion is just about the word
 Drawing Illuminating compari-
 sons between the way In which World War veterans are getting federal funds and the way in which the G. A. R. pension bills were put over, he presents
 number of figures that make high ly interesting reading.
 His complaint is that a con-
 stantly increasing share or tne
 money now being paid out goes to ity whatever.
 He points out, for instance, that Veteran Bureau hospitals now contain far more non-war cases than war cases; that an emergency officer retired for 80 per cent dis ability can draw $150 a month, whereas the widow of an officer killed in action gets only $40; that by 1945, under present laws.
 5000 apiece will have been spent on each veteran. He compains, also, that the
 growth of the bonus racket will in- evitably destroy all public sym-
 pathy for the veterans themselves
 and it is as an ex-soldier that he writes his book; an ex-soldier who wants to convince his buddies> that paid patriotism is no longer pa- triotism" and that 1t is to their
 own self-interest to put the bonus racket where it belongs.
 His book is eloquent and con-
 vincing. Published by Minton. Balch and Co.,, 1t sells for $1.
