Hartford, May :7-The recent
success of DIR Arthur A. Allen, Of
Cornell university. in raising ruffed
grouse after ten years of expert
mentation, has prompted the Con-
necticut State Board Of Fisheries
and Game to issue permits to a
limited number of game breeders
allowing them to take not more
than one setting of wild grouse
eggs each for scientific experiments
along the same lines employed by
DIR Allen.
But few breeders In the state can
comply with requirements Of the
state board In securing permits.
The methods that must be fol-
lowed call for strict adherence to
the Cornell scientists procedure,
including use Of electrically heated
incubators, breeders and elevated
wire floored rearing pens. While q
number of game farmers attempts
Ing propagation of quail have
equipment quite similar to that
employed in raising of grouse, ex-

pense of purchasing recommended
grouse equipment and the uncer-
tain results that may be. obtained
have deferred breeders of average
means from venturing into the new
field of grouse production.
The scientifically inclined breed
err of independent means Is about
the only one being encouraged by
the State Board at the present
time. Those depending upon game
raising for livelihood would in
cur considerable risk of financial
loss should they be unsuccessful.
Even Doctor Aliens success has
been achieved only with consider
able loss of birds. OF $40 eggs set
last spring, but 101 grouse reached
maturity. However, this constitutes
the largest number ever raised ar
tificially In this country and 1t has
brought cheer to lovers Of Amer
ica's finest game bird.
It Is only within the past ten or
fifteen years that sportsmen have
really awakened to, the fact that
our grouse were disappearing at an
too rapid rate. Aglta-
ton reached Its peak a few years
ago when an entirely closed season
was inaugurated. The cycle of
grouse disease which periodically
visits northern sections of the
United States cut wide swath In
the grouse population on its last
occurrence and little hope was held
for survival of. the bird in any
great numb ers.'
Commissioner Charles +. Griffin
stated to-day: Just what success
will attend efforts Of breeders ex-
perimenting with grouse Is prob
lematical. There are a number In
Connecticut who will unselfshly
incur considerable expense just for
the good of the game. Sportsmen
Of this type are usually turning up
at tho right time willing to help
with no desire for financial gain.
An instance of this may be cited
in the case of the state agricultural
college seeking equipment for the
contemplated game breeding
course. Under the Six-Year Plan
It AZ proposed to institute the
course next fall, but lack of suit
able equipment and funds to Sc
cure It has deferred the trustees.
oliver G.. Jennings, Of Fairfield,
has very kindly offered to supply
the school with the Coleman type
OF quail rearing equipment and the
project has been greatly aided by
that contribution"

CzechoslOvakia Plans
Severe Banking Laws
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

VIENNA, Austria-A new banking
law about to be put in force in Czecho-
slovakia is arousing widespread COM
ment in central Europe because of
radical provisions centering on the per-
sonal responsibility of bank officers.
The law is doubtless an indirect re-
suit Of the Credit Anstalt failure in
Vienna, which was partly caused by
an alleged Incompetence, laziness and
dishonesty among various of its direc-
tors.
The Czech law is going to fix things
up so that only bold fellow will con-
sent to boss bank-and he's going to
be pretty sure, first, that it's a thor
oughly sound bank.
Every member of the board of direc-
tors Of a bank in Czechoslova kia. &C
cording to the projected law, is here
after not only generally responsible for
any loss to depoSitorS, but must per-
sonally guarantee the deposits in the
bank up to one-fourth of l per cent of
the banks total capital. or a sum of
so, 900 Czech crowns, whichever sum is
higher.
Persons connected with a bank that
gets into difficulties can be caw~d upon
to refund part of the salaries paid
them, even if they have retired. The
forced guaranty Of directors applies
even if they leave the service of the
bank or are dismissed.
Bank employees are not allowed to
follow any secondary occupation which
has any possible countertendency to
the bank. No person may hold more
than 10 directorshipS Fees for di-
rectorships are to be paid to the bank
the director represents, not to the d.
rector.
In Austria, as contrast. 1t may be
mentioned that banks are not even
legally obliged to publish their balance
sheets or statements of condition.
The new Czech law is to be rushed
through the chamber as soon as pos
sible.

Day Of Inspiration.
So I believe this May day, instead of
being a day Of moral and spiritual de-
preston, should come to us as a day of
challenge, inspiration and hope. True,
I have deliberately looked through our
national life for the things of promise
the things out of which and by which
we can and should renew our national
purpose. The things have found.
however, are not chimerical; they are
real, practical and dynamic. They are
a call to all that is cooperative, kindly
and tolerant within us.
Two men once tried to paint, each
one a picture Of peace and rest. One
painted a peaceful lake in the lonely
! mountain stillnesses-peace far away
from every disturbance of trial and
storm. The other painted a mother
bird on her nest, hanging Just barely
out of reach Of a mighty waterfall
peace in the midst of life's turmoil, the
peace that is achieved by inner con-
quest of the sold and by faith in the
eternal goodness of things.
This Is the peace America needs this
May day-the faith, the composure of
mind and heart in the midst of our
trials which alone will lift us out of
this depression and into the poise and
freedom Of moral and spiritual power.
