HEALTH AND HARD TIMES
(Hartford Times)

Despite economic distress the na- tion's death rate for 1881 was tho lowest on record. The decreasing figures applied even to industrial states, including Connecticut, New York. New Jersey and Massachu- sctts, states studded with congested cities. The death rate, according to the federal chamber of com merce, has dropped to slight fraction over II per thousand population. This represents 2 con- tinuous decrease from 12.1 per thousand in 1928, a happy bridge across the collapse of much wealth.
 It Is orthodox to say that fast. ing is good for the soul. Its best Of kin, moderation, 1s undoubtedly good for the body. Among those who formerly over-ate from their abundance there has been q whole some change to less rich foods. The poor have been perhaps better cared for by public charity than wheu>they barely eked out an existence through their own efforts. And shall we go q step farther and say that concern for the other fei- low expressing itself in sharing with others as never before. is in line with a deep-iaid moral pre- cept, whose observance Is good ior mind, soul and body? Good health being more to be desired than great fortune, is is quite possible to be "poor but happy"

Washington - This is the an- nual story about whether we are in for a cold, harsh winter or warm, mild winter.
 Your guess, as usual, Is just as good as the Weather Bureaus.
 If this winter Is anything like last winter 1t will be relatively balmy. whereas if it IS the opposite or last winter it will be a tough one.
 The last six winters have been warmer than the normal winter, which does not demonstrate any thing aside from the fact that there has been a general marked trend toward milder tempera- lures in the last 50 or 60 years.
 If it's warmer than normal Tn the coming season, a succession of seven warmer-than- normal win- ters will have occurred for the first time anyone remembers.
 All of which is in no way con- elusive but is about all anyone can say.
 The weary patience of the Weather Bureau officials in answering each fall this question about the winters prospects is one of the more convincing evi- dences of the extreme limits or human endurance.
 "Every time we think we have established sequences and cycles for the weather. nature comes along and proves us wrong." says pr Charles F. Marvin. veteran head of the bureau.
 we still don't believe anyone can yet make long-distance weather forecast on scientific basis, although studies with that aim in view have been made in all spent decades seeking to demon parts of the world and men have strate a weather periodicity."
 So if those old bones of yours just tell you this winter Is go- ing to be pretty awful, you have just as much right to your prophecy as anyone else. It's just as good as that of the farmer up near the Canadian border who draws his conclusions from the current antics of the woodchucks the thickness of the bark or the amount of honey the bees are stor- ing away. =
 Dr Marvin says the bureau if quite successful in predicting weather 48 hours in advance. Ii even issues an Outlook" for Q full week ahead, forecasting spe- cific weather in certain regions at a given time. But that's as far as 1t is prepared to go.
 i've can tell what has caused

Curry, whom he has known and favorably known, for thirty-one years. Perhaps the boss has taken him aside and whispered in his ear: If were you, "I'd treat the taxpayers gently this year; we need them in our business"
 Not too gently, of course. Gently enough to moliify the bankers and make them loosen up; not so gently as to deprive the faithful of their just rewards. The budget must be cut, but with discrimina- ton; women and children first, as 1t were. Tammany always was Q charitable institution, but, after all. charity begins at home. It Is good to learn that MT O'Brien Is on the side of the angels and also that the angels are on the side of MT O'Brien.

A pheasant in the middle of the road caused an automobile accident the other day. A wild pheasant is a striking looking bird and one would feel some qualms about run hing over it. On the other hand if 1t IS yourself or some other fellow against the pheasant, we would say sacrifice the pheas- ant. On certain secluded woody roads in this state it is not uncommon to see one sud- denly cross the road, all unmindful of on- coming cars. Even with a car bearing down on it the pheasant or other wild bird usually pursues its leisurely way.

THE GOLD SCARE
(New Britain Daily Herald)

(New Britain Daily Herald)
 The theory, first propounded by President Hoover at Des Moines, that the nation nearly went off the gold standard during the depths of the depression seems to be good new idea with which to carry on the political campaign. MT Cool idge neatly took 1t up in his re- cent address, and Senator Bing- ham has likewise seized upon It.. For the opposition the New York Times, quoting all the fiscal fig: ures from the treasury's record and the record of the Federal Re- serve board, as well as It's own news reports, frankly found itself unable to determine Q date when this was taking place; at no time, 1t was shown from the figures. was the U. S. A. remotely likely to get off the gold standard. Various other democratic chieftains have followed the lead of the Times and have been demanding to know of the administration the date of tho near-disaster. To this there is no answer.

HISPANIC BOND LOSS
LAID TO IGNORANCE
U. S. Investors Lacked Data on
European Experience With South
America, Says Speaker.

The status of American investors in
HiSpanic America would be far different
today if they had obtained adequate
information concerning the relations Of
these countries with Europe before
sending their capital south, Dr. j. Fred
Rippy of Duke University told the Con-
ference on Hispanic American Affairs
at George Washington University yes
terday He resumed his discussions
this morning.
If Yankee investors had known the
background of British investments in
Latin America they might have been
more cautious" DR.. Rippy said In
view OF the enormous investments by
United States citizens in recent years
and the prospect of future invitations
to send more American dollars there an
investigation of the financial relations
of Europe and Hispanic America should
have been made and placed before the
American public 20 years ago."
DR.. Rippy said bankers worked out an
excellent technique in handling public
opinion with regard to Latin American
loans.
They played up these countries in
articles" he said. making the reader
think that here was a gold mine, bo-
nanza. Then, before long, they had
bonds to offer for sale These they had
bought at 81 to SO and sold at par with
nice commissions"

QUIET RULES MINE
AFTER FATAL RIOTING
Troops Return to Barracks When
65 Non. Union Workmen
Are Freed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, August S.
The Dixie Bee coal mine scene of a
two-day siege by union pickets, during
which one man was killed and eight
wounded, was quiet and almost deserted
today.
The more than 800 members of the
Indiana National Guard whose mobili-
zation at the State Teachers College
here caused the pickets to release 65
non-union workmen imprisoned at the
mine, were gone, most of them returned
to their homes.
A provisional battalion--four COM
panies-was sent to barracks at Shaka-
max State Park in Sullivan County, the
heart of the mine region, where it will
be readily available should further dis
order occur.
Two weeks ago a similar force as
sembled at the park for action against
pickets besieging the Hoosier cooper
atively worked mine near Dugger. Ind.
How long the Dixie Bee will remain
idle was undecided. Operators of the
shaft said work would be resumed as
soon as the miners had recovered from
effects of the siege. The mine had
operated under a Federal order re-
straining the union mine workers from
interfering with it. Nearly 200 men
were arrested for alleged violation of
this order following disturbances last
April.
Union mines in the Indiana field
have not worked since their wage agree
ment expired last March 81. Repeated
efforts to negotiate new contract have
failed.
