Wdshington Fashions
By WILMA LAVILLE

Fashions have been taking
on a military air for some
time past, and this spring
seems to bring the climax.
Suits and coats have gone to
the military extremes of epau.
lettes, and little capelets that
look like a shoulder decora-
ton. This martial spirit does
not mean that they have lost
femininity, but that they have
merely added an alertneSs, a
dashing air to clothes that
threatened to go too far toward
femininity and formality. It's
quite refreshing to put these
new clothes on, for their gaiety
makes us feel younger and in
good spirits.
Shoulders Widen
Many military details add
dash to the coat we have had
sketched for today. The most
obvious are the epaulettes,
formed by a fold over the
shoulder. The double row Of
buttons are quite Soldier-like,
too, for they are metal, end
the broader belt is also military
looking. Notice the plain uni
form sleeves and the fact that
the coat hangs straight, with
lust enough room for walking.
The waistline is fitted, just
like an officers coat, and, of
course, the slim hips con-
tribute further to the wide
shouldered effect, which is pro
duced by the epaulettes.
Two COlOrs Combine
This coat is sketched in
murillo blue, with lining and
scarf of burnt orange. It's a
stunning combination, as the
blue is a lighter than navy
shade, not too brilliant, and is
in a lovely ribbed cloth with
the tinieSt silver fleck in it.
You can wear the scarf or
leave it off, not letting too
much of it show. Some women
will no doubt add a fur scarf,
but 1t seems that it might
spoil the alert, trim look of
the coat. To make it more
sports-like. you might substi-
tute a wool scarf for the silk
crepe that comes with it. This
coat is one of the military
series in a local store, priced

In Good Voice

Dr. Edward c. Dolan stormy petrel of state democratic circles for some years past, was in good voice at the gathering for dem oeratic women at National Committeewomau Fannie Dixon Welch's home in Columbia this week. We liked his reference to the program of hnderance practiced by repub- liean legislators during the l93l session of the General Assembly. For some time past we have been trying to convey to Mayor George Quigley of New Britain, a repub can. the need of securing some assurance that a special sess:on of the Legislature would do things in l932 that it refused to do in l93l.
 It has consistently been brought to the attention of the New Britain executive that he had opportunity enough when the session was on to petition for aid for his own city. Instead of that, 1t was charged and later denied. Mir Quigey was more interested in a political appointment involving the New Britain city court. That may be doing him grave injustice even to repeat this twieetold tale. However, it only goes to show what people are thinking about today when there are so many cries for special ses- sions so that we can take care of the needy cases in our cities and towns.
 It is the belief of Mayor Quigley and also many other executives. democratic as well as republican. that the Legislature could devise ways ,and means of providing employment for thousands not to mention authorizing countless bond issues so that cities and towns be provided with funds to indulge in public enterprises furnishing work to many. Of course. legislative session would be necessary for this latter contingency. In fact the law would have to be amended for most towns to permit them to exceed their legal borrowing limit. A majority of them has already reached this figure just in making their budgets balance
 Dr Dolan stated that The republicans are really sincere. They want relief in this tax situation. Let them first get guarantees from Mir Rorabaek that he will instruct the Legislature to vote for Governor Cross proposal and I am confident that special session will be called immediately. But before the session Is called we should certainly like to see democratic and republi- can leaders. including the legislative lead CTS. decide on a program of relief legisla- ton. There is no sense in calling the Leg

Connecticut isn't the only state that has its troubles with roadside courts. Virginia is launching an investigation of this method of dispensing justice to motorists who vio- late the laws. It is claimed that summary justice is dispensed at these sessions which are usually held at the scene of the arrest and Hsult usually in good stiff fine for the offender. plus the costs, despite the fact that the arresting officer has not been put to any expense or trouble save that of bring ing the eulprit to the particular spot where the justice of the peace or judge is holding court In Virginia the particular complaint is that justices of the peace and enforcement agents have preyed. on parked automobiles Ofenses are charged that weren't commit ted and usually heavy fines collected. The victims pay rather than face publicity which their appearance at regular court session might mean. Every state where such abuses are found ought to dispose of them in sum mary fashion

Studies Lives of Three Who
 Sailed in 1920

Every schooT boy, naturally,
 knows that the Pilgrim fathers l landed at Plymouth Rock in 1920 and that they contrived to found a permanent colony after a terri | fic struggle. He knows, too, that some of them had lived for time | in Holland because of their search for religious freedom, and that
 none of them could get along in
 England because, of their refusal to
 submit to the established church there.
 But few of us know any more about 1t than that. The human
 values involved. the sufferings
 and hardships and years of men, tai stress that the Mayf1ower ex-
 petition involved for the men and
 women and children concerned these things we can only imagine, We get a look at them, now, in I've Begin," novel by Helen Grace Carlisle, which is one of the brightest spots of the summer season. The author centers her atten- tion chiefly on three people-an English farmer, his wife and his brother, who form an odd triangle in the Mayf1ower's passenger list.
 The whole story is presented from their varying points of view. g-
 One brother sees in the new
 world chance to "get ahead" to farm broad acres and establish his fortunes. The other sees it through the eyes of a religious | bigot. The wife sees it with al-
 ternate hope and despair. By | looking at 1t with them, we find the story vested with new rich ness and clarity. We Begin" in a first-rate novel.

CROSS AND NONE OTHER /Nyax.y Ir;taic TIara1dN

It is no news that the demo- cratic party of the state stands pre- pared to rename Governor Cross as the 1892 standard bearer. There was never any doubt whatever concerning this step. To do other wise would be fatal to- the party. It is nearly an unwritten law that the successful contender at an election has the inside track for the renomination. Moreover, the democrats have no better or strong. candidate. The Dean, though he is a quiet person, knows more about politics and political Conditions around the state than he talks about in public. He fooled the grandoldparty once before and badly fooled it--and has few more rabbits up his sleeve for the present year. He will show these bunnies in due time.

Relief Work To Begin

Without any comment whatsoever Pres ident Herbert Hoover signed the three bil- lion dollar relief bill yesterday. thereby making it immediately effective. Within two or three weeks at the most 1t is ex- pected that huge loans will have been made to various states as the funds at the com mand of the Reconstruction Finance Corpor- ation now total about 800.000,000. $300.000.0o0 of this vast sum is available for loans to the states upon proper applica- ton. Only one state, so far as we know, is prohibited by law from borrowing. Florida happens to be so unfortunate. Whether or not the remaining forty-seven will avail themselves of the opportunity to relieve their burdens with public loans remains to be seen.
 The maximum loan that a state can secure is S45,00O.000. Several, including Pennsylvania have already applied for this amount. No doubt New York will also follow examples. As yet Connecticut has not signified its intention one way or the other. Governor Cross may have to secure legislative approval before making appli- cation for a loan. Offhand, we'd say he could apply on his own initiative without violating any law, but certainly disposition of the same would await the pleasure of the Legislature and unless it is called into spe- afial session shortly the money would not be put to any good purpose until next spring when the l933 Legislature will convene There may be great changes in the political lineup of the state by that time. At least the democrats anticipate such.
 The power of loaning by the Recon struction Finance Corporation is not limited to states It has such vast sums at its com mand now that 1t may aid in public con- struetion or even private enterprise. Farm loans are also available, but here the Con- nectieut state law intrudes and raises an obstacle. Under the federal-aid highway law states may secure advances This ln- wolves an appropriation by the state to equal that of Uncle Sam's Money is also avail able for work in our national forests and parks and also for public buildings and im- provement of waterways. If it does all that the president and Congress think it will. business throughout the nation should be revitalzed before the end of the year.
 Let us hope at least it will succeed in part in creating a better sense of security among the peoples of this nation If we could only convince everybody that the slackness of the times does not mean the end of the world, we might bring back the golden days of prosperity more rapidly. The sooner all of us are convinced that the United States will continue to progress the better off we will be. There is no need to become alarmed and hide within the shelter of our homes, emerging merely to spend few dimes for sustenance. We've got to spend money to restore prosperity and the sooner those who can afford to do so start in the sooner the pinch of necessity will be removed from the really destitute.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-07-23

The presence of Japanese beetles in Wa terbury for the first time, since these pests made their appearance in the United States should awaken everybody to the danger that we face from bugs and insects It seems that each year brings an additional ya- riety to our attention. Certainly all grow ing things are endangered to-day. Nothing is immune from the attack of the bug that bores or cuts or does damage to vegetation in some fashion. Would that our scientific forces could only discover some successful means of combating every known destruct- i've variety. Of course, the cooperation of people with gardens or property that con- tain any growing plant would aid in rid ding the nation of bugs. Some day gi- gantic program of spraying, burning, and stamping will be initiated.

ible application to meet variant conditions in different industries. The plan would remain effective until unemployment was eliminated that is the technological surplus age. It would again become oper- ative by degrees If unemployment recurred.
 The governor of New Hampshire and those associated with him in this proposal are illustrating the teaching of that New England philosopher William James, that "if you really care about some thing, you should do something about it." There used to be a mill in New Hampshire which bore the sign: we make everything with grit in it." All New England is showing that indomitable quality which is colloquially called grit" in really doing something about what 1t cares about.

International Fairgrounds

Switzerland has long been known as the play ground of Europe. The greatest inter- national playground in America, perhaps in the world, is the Great Lakes area, which is now being combined with the beautiful St Lawrence River to make route for ocean shipping. The extent to which Americans and Canadians make vacation use of this vast chain of lakes and rivers is hardly realized, even by those living on the border.
 Another playground tentatively discussed for years, derives new fitness from the sea- way project. This is the proposed inter- national park, to be comparatively developed and maintained along the border between Minnesota and Ontario, west of Lake Su- perior There is a wild and beautiful stretch of land there, comprising about 1O,O0O,OOO acres, straddling the inter- national boundary, with primeval forests and 5000 connected lakes, which is better suited for great natural park than for any, thing else.
 It would make wonderful sanctuary for wild lfe and wonderful camping ground for the nature lovers of both countries It would also seem, in a general way. to be natural extension of the existing interna- tional enterprise, for work and play reach- ing eastward for thousand miles toward the sea. If these two neighborly nations can operate the Great Lakes and the St Lawrence River together why not also big strip of land - the longer, the better!
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-07-23
Highway Freight Traffic

Writing of the congressional gesture in the direction of having motor trucks reg ulated by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion. and the assumption that freight carrying trucks must be SO regulated as to protect railroad interests an automobile writer says: Congress is no more fe- quired to protect the railroads against the increasing use of motor freight carriers than it was to protect the canals against the rail- roads, or the horses against the canals Regulation of competition should be only for the common good, and the common good will be best served by the carrier that does the best all-round job"
 That is quite true. As matters stand, however, the railroads engaged in interstate commerce are severely regulated by the fed eral government and the trucks similarly engaged are not Even handed justice ob- viously demands that the two should be treated as nearly alike as possible. to pro- vide fair competition and at the same time to safeguard public interests.
 One of the obvious ways of safeguarding public interests is to prevent the remorse- less breaking down of the roads by freight trucks too heavy for them, and the imperil- ling of passenger traffic on the roads by huge truck trains. The same writer sensi ply suggests that if Congress wants to do something constructive, 1t should empower the Interstate Commerce Commission to die tate the size and physical condition of trucks in interstate commerce. Then, if state legislatures conformed to its rules. we might have the real benefits of truck transportation without the evils.

TALL AMERICANS

(New York Herald -Tribune.)
 Once more the subject of tall Americans, ever flattering to our national ego and ever espoused. with q patronizing look in the general direction of Europe. as Q topic for innocent editorial jim goism, has been thrown open for discussion, this time by the schol- arly and plausible "Nomad.' who conducts a column in "The Boston Evening Transcript" Is the American race growing even tall CT, the Nomad wants to know, and if so. from what particular region derives this added stature?
 Well, the physiologists tell us that the conditions of American life with it's traditions of youthful ex- ercise and abundant nutrition, tend
