OUR CHILDREN.

| Again we must admit that we have
made mistake. We have said re-
peatedly that we have never known a
community where SO much was done
for the oder people and so little for
the children. And here the holiday
season has brought with 1t a regular
series Of children's parties given by
various lodges and organizations.
wouldn't it, be fine if this could be
continued on through the year? What
a big thrill these youngsters of ours
get from stepping OUT to a social
affair with mother. Even the self
conscious pre- adolescent is secretly
so proud of his mother even
though he is liable in his shyness to-
utter some insulting remark to cover
what he really feels And the chances
are that the mother has never had
such sincere and blind alteration.
We feel that one Of the benefits of
this present depression is that the
American family has been forced in
self defense to depend more on each
other than for long time.
And in listening to the youngsters
about. discussing their Christ m S
wishes 1t Is astounding how philo-
sophical and reasonable they are in
what they expect In the line of gifts.
Even the children who in past years
have received beautiful and expensive
gifts this year are very modest in
their desires.
Children are reasonable If we as
parents can give them credit for good
Judgment and if we could but bring
ourselves to realize that they are GO
ing to live up to our expectations, be
they good or bad, We would Danish
some Of the problems Of discipline
that worry US today.

McNiff when the kriminal side of the common pleas Court opens next Tuesday morn ing at 10 o'clock for the Septem- ber term. It is expected that the court will be formally opened and then adjourned until the 18th when the actual disposition of the wide- fy assorted cases commences.
 Fifty-two cases for a common hleas court opening, is consider ably heavier than the usual number on the opening of criminal term Many of the cases, however, are ones that have been carried over from last year. They are cases In which appeals from lower courts such as the Waterbury city court town and borough courts Of this district, have been taken.
 The cases range from illegal Dractice of natureopathy and chiropathy to simple breach of the peace offenses.
 Following is the docket: David L. Jarvis, practicing medicine illegal ly: c. .Petraiora, non-support; Maril Lego, assault, breach of the peace: Andrew Hurnovich, intoxi- cation; Anthony Truncale, violation of motor vehicle law; Angelo Capaldo, violation of motor vehi- cle law; Domenick Giglio, violation liuuor law; Peter PasZel, violation of probation; Louis Divinski, theft; Joseph Vaszauckas, non-support; John Knovaluck,. non-support; Harry Brandien, keeping liquor with intent sell; Salvatore Pan- none, assault, breach of the peace; Joseph Marisio, assault, breach o1 peace; William Pagano; reckless driving, no operators license, evad-

General Alvaro Obregon into the the presidency in 1920.
 A vote of confidence or tenn porary leave of absence voted by congress would cause Rubio to re- consider his decision, according to political observers. It is not con- sidered likely, however, that con- gress would take either action.
 Congress was scheduled to meet early to-day, and Ortiz Rubio's resignation was to be presented. Ii the resignation is accepted, Rubio's cabinet will resign as a matter ot course. .<
 Friends of Rubio said he would leave the country if his resignation is accepted. He was expected to SC first to the United States, later pos- sibly to Spain, where he once lived as an engineer, or to Germany where he served as minister.
 The Calles-Rubio rift has been a comparatively recent development Only Thursday in opening the ses- sion of congress, Rubio declared there was no political friction. Ear. Her in the week, his secretary is. sued an authorized statement that Rubio would not resign or seek a leave of absence.
 The seriousness of the break was acknowledged, however, by Ortiz Rubio in the cabinet meeting last night. He is said to have stated that situation satisfactory to him could be achieved, if 8 all, only by violence. This alternative he re. jected immediately.

John F. Curry, now chief of Tam many Hall.
 Yet, political developments later threw them into the same bed. At the Chicago convention the Tam
 many organization stood like a rock until the end for Smith and against Roosevelt.
 At the climax of the all-night convention session, Walker himself got out of bed and taxied to the stadium to stand up and cast his vote for Smith when Curry ordered the New York delegation boiled. By traditional standards of polit- ical loyalty, Smith is indebted to Walker and Tammany, not to Roosevelt.
 Incidentally experts on New York politics report that Curry's real reason for polling his delega- tion at Chicago was to force on record the fact that Walkers sue cessor as mayor of New York Joseph V. Mckee, an ambitious and rising young politician, was for Roosevelt instead of Smith Curry, it is said, figured that Mo- Kees ambitions to run for mayer of New York next spring would be fairly withered when it was re- corded that he turned against the hero of the Sidewalks of New York to vote for Roosevelt. Now Mckee unexpectedly sits in city hall. Walker seeks vindi- cation. Smith hides behind a
 great question mark. And this strange presidential campaign swept by new unfathomed cur rents, races on toward November amid uncertainties which grow larger every day.

 Kindergarten classes 1,167; first grade. 1890; second, 1,616; third, 1,5S3; fourth, 1,619; fifth, 1922; sixth, 1,515; seventh, 1,455; eighth, 1,24S. A total of 13,646.
 Everything is in readines for the occupation of the city's school buildings by its army of youths, eager for the opening day and for the prospects of a year crowded with action. During the summer months Inspector John White and his corps of workers have been kept unusually busy. In addition to making the usual and needed repairs in schools, electrical, plumbing, painting, carpenter work, the force of workmen equipped five rooms in Wilby-four in Leaven- worth high school building and every available room in the Crosby high school.
 A number of improvements were made during the summer to con- form with suggestions made by rep resentatiyes on the state board of education. Every school in the city under MT Whites supervision re- ceived thorough inspection and youngsters returning to familiar scenes next Tuesday morning will find everything in spic and span condition.

 "The affairs of the deceased, the minor and the incompetent. are handled in a capable, businesslike manner by this court.
 Those who have had occasion to employ its agency will readily attest to this fact. It is my pleas ant duty to again place in nomin- ation for he office of judge of pro- bate for the district of Waterbury, the Hon D. J. Slavin.'
 Judge Slavin's record as head of the Waterbury probate court was also lauded in several seconding speeches. He was highly praised for the efficient and humanitarian way in which he has conducted his office. ..
 The renomination of Judge Slavin was expected to-day. There fore, his selection once more for the post of judge of probate came not as surprise and was highly endorsed by the democratic lead CTS of Waterbury and the state as whole. Judge Slavin is we'll known throughout the state for his handling of matters in the court. He has been judge of the court for several consecutive terms, repre- senting a total of 20 years service to date.
 Following the convention the delegates present were the guests of Judge Slavin at a luncheon. His reelection on the democratic ticket is expected in view of the fact that the local g. o. p. organization, | recognizing his efficient and un- biased handling of court matters, have practically decided to follow past precedents and endorse him. This means that he will not be faced with any g. o. p. opponent.
 The local delegates present at the convention included: First ward, Morris Applebaum, George A. Hynes, John H. Condon and Margaret l.. Bowes; second ward, Attorney Monagan, Attorney John L. Gaffney and pr Freney; third ward, Attorney Frank T. Healey, Daniel T. Harrington, ST, and Mrs Bridget M. Hayes; fourth ward, James Powers, Patrick McNamara, John T. Shannahan and Alderman Frank Bergen: fifth ward, John J.. Howard, William Cunningham, William Sullivan and Daniel F. Bowes. Assistant City Clerk John A. DiCorpo was elected delegate | at-large.
 The delegates from Middlebury were William Dwyer and Wyford Smith. The Wolcott delegates were Mrs Sadie Butler and Mrs Mary Kreger.

FAY WEBB DOES NOT WORRY OVER
 COMING DIVORCE
She Lost Her Travelling Bag Before She Took Train, Which Worried Her Much More

New York, Sept 2.-(UP)-Fay Webb, slim brunette wife of crooner Rudy Vallee, was Reno-bound to- day, after a fearful departure in which she mourned the loss of an overnight bag. Clarence Webb, her father, the Santa Monica, Cal, police chief, accompanied her. His chief interest as the party en- trained at Grand Central station was to shield his daughter. Ap- parently the 13-months bride did not want to be shielded for she talked freely to reporters about the purpose of her trip.
 "Of course I'm going to divorce Rudy" she said, land it's going to be just as soon as possible. |" "Oh, dear" she walled, I've lost my overnight tbag. And it had all my cold creams and powder and lipstick in it. Whatever shall ] do without it."

 Until midway the fourth lap of the Miss America looked like a loser. Don had brought Miss Eng land over the starting line we'll in advance of Wood. He opened up a lead of more than a mile on the first lap.
 The Miss America seemed out classed, her nose rode high in the tossing water.
 Thousands expected an English victory when in the fourth lap then Wood gained appreciably on the back three-mile straightaway. He rounded the upper turn, a scant 300 yards behind the Eng fish boat.
 Wood came into the straight away, swung wide, then rapidly overhauled Don. He passed him just as the boats flashed past the timers barge and headed for the upper turn. two miles away.
 The distance between the two speedsters, gradually widened un- til the flying red mahogany hulled defender appeared a certain win ner.
 Wood pressed his advantage and crossed the, finish line far in the lead. The river craft sounded their horns in salute.
 Don, apparently realizing the race was lost, made no. effort to speed after the fifth lap was hal1 run.

 president of the board of alder
 An Independent Politician
 In the past, Tammany haa claimed Mckee as it's own, although strictly speaking he is not Tammany man. He is q canny and scholarly Scotsman from the Bronx, and always has entertained some ideas of his own about political independence.
 Nor is he an ynovice at the may orally job. During the many pro- longed absences of Walker, Mckee automatically became Acting May or, and as such did not hesitate to push his own policies and dis agree with some of Walkers ideas.
 In striking personal contrast to the former mayor, Mckee dresses conservatively, talks little, shuns night clubs, keeps appointments promptly. puts in a full days hard work at his office, and dislikes welcoming celebrities and laying cornerstones.
 He is a lawyer and a university graduate with four degrees. He has taugh Greek, Latin and lit- erature at Fordham University, has written numerous magazine articles and is almost as puzzled as Tammany Hall itself by his success in politics.
 He Gets the Votes
 With none of the emotional ap- peal of an Al Smith or a Jimmy Walker, he has turned out to be the most powerful vote-puller of any of his associates. In 1929. running for the presidency of the board of aldermen, he led the ticket, polling 5000 more votes than Walker and lending strength to predictions that he some day would become either mayor of New York city or governor of the state.
 sOnly 43 now, and the youngest man ever to act in what has been called "the second biggest job in the United States" Mayor Mckee was only when he first was elected to the state assembly. He served until 1924, refused to run again, and was appointed by AL fred E. Smith to the city court bench. But his youth proved an embarrassment to him, and in lJE0 Hc DeCdHlc IcdQ Ol Illc OOoA VI of aldermen, defeating seasoned city politicians by nearly half a million majority.
 While presiding with an iron body, Mckee made many proposals for which Walker received public credit. He discovered that hospi- tals were crowded, and 8 $15,000,- 900 building program remedied that. He studied traffic problems hand over that once-boisterous teries and bridges. These have and recommended certain new ar- been, or are being, built. He pro- posed a municipal airport, and New York now has Flyod Ben- nett Field.
 City pier leases, which later turned into something of scan- dal, and dishonesty in the build ing of schools, were exposed by Holy Joe." He charged favorit- ism in the awarding of sewer con- tracts. He blocked certain bus franchises, a subject which was a major matter of srutiny during the recent Sudbury Investigation.
 He says he has only one political motive: "To render honest, eff cient and unselfish public service ' And nobody, so far, has been able to dispute it.
