Waterbury Got
 No Mention
The Same Old Story in
 This as Other Things

The Golden Eagle March and Two Step" was heard to good ad- vantage yesterday afternoon over the radio. The author is Joseph F. Coen of this city. but Guilford got all the credit for the words and music. No doubt this was due to the fact that William J. stan nard leader of the United States Army band, whose members fur nished the program, Is a native of GuiIford. Mrs Coen is also q Gull ford man but he has been resi- dent of Waterbury for some time and succeeded in getting good pres notices in the local papers an- nouncing when his production would be heard on the air.
 oh, 1t Is the same old story. Somebody always taking all the credit for great things, even though q share of it belongs to the Brass City.

local municipal supervision.
 Inspector Noonan declared the set up of the new local slaughter house to be excellent and one to be rated with the best in Connecticut. More equipment will be moved in next week, Dr Keeley, who will supervise the plant, stated to-day.
 The decision to open the slaugh- ter house on Monday means that the Watertown privately owned plant closes at midnight tonight. Many months ago the Watertown auth critics ordered the place there closed as q health measure. But this left Waterbury without any place to supervise slaughtering of cattle used in this city. Through an agreement with the Watertown of- ficials Dr Godfrey succeeded in having the time for closing of the place extended from time to time.
 Now, though, with local needs cared for. the WatertOwn plant closes tonight as no slaughtering Is done at that plant on Saturday or Sunday.

Attorney Edward MascoIo, appearing for the plaintiff explained that the action was heard in 1925 before the late Judge Waldo r. Marvin who dis missed the complaint.
 He asked permission to present new evidence on a new complaint started this year, and the petition was granted by Judge Frederick M PeasIey. Attorney Mascolo eX- plaincd that since 1925 the couple have not lived together but the defendant has been guilty of cruel ty just the same.
 The plaintiff took the stand and said that her life has been q "liv- ing hcll'' because of her husband s weekly visits when he pulled her hair and threatened her with q razor. He came courting trouble. the plaintiff said, but explained that he said his visits were for the purpose of seeing their chill dren. She said he wanted to make up with her but she would not have him.
 The action wos contested, the defendant being represented by Judge W. r. Mangan of New Bri- tain.

 Friday, Feb. 5-Demand for live fowl improved at larger markets in nearby states resulting :. in 4 hrmer and higher market for all classes of live poultry. New York was paying more for broilers, chickens and bullets than for the past week or two. This firmer and higher market at New York was reflected on most Connecticut markets because of the fact that western live fowl are imported in carlots on n New York price basis. Broilers and chickens are exported from this state of New York when thep rice Is favorable at that market causing local prices to fol- low the trend there.
 Pullets were the highest priced item on the live poultry list at that market, colored varieties sell ing from 23 to 26 cents per pound. Best colored broilers and chickens were quoted as high as 22 cents. Leghorn fowl were lightly offered and in such active demand that buyers were paying almost as much per pound for them as for colored breeds.

The Bluff Wins
Senate Drops Strong Hand

The House has successfully parliamentary olutf on
the Senate in the matter of the economy bill.
AS result Senate has supnely accepted piece OF
legislation which only few days previously had branded
as unfair and unwise.
In its acceptance the conference report on the economy
measure the Senate has hurt its prestige
It has shown that expediency force it to accept Dill
In the form which its formal action had previously oe
cared to be full of faults.
The humiliation which must be felt by all members OF
the Senate thus sacrificing their convictions cannot be
washed lofty assumption their part That tney
have brought about economy in government.
For scientific approach to the subject would have
brought about greater economy with less hardship.
This bill in the form in which it accepted by the
Senate will result in the dismissal of thousands of Government
employees ,
The dismssas will be arbitrary and will be made with little
the importance of the being rendered
These discharges will be made necessary because of the
perveron of the original fwlough provision by an amend
ment slipped by the House.
Under the amendment it will not be possible to utilize the
money saved by the furough contemplated in the
original draft Of the furlough plan it passed the Senate
That money must be impounded and with the slices
which have been made in appropriation bills this result
only in dismissals
There other garng faults in the bill which has properly
been described as sloppy legislation
But is too late for the Senate to its stand
ing through action upon the bill
There B however which should take before it
adjourns.
It can the joint action of the House. soften some
books.
It should do this particularly in regard the mpoundng
provision the married workers clause and the compulsory
retirement feature.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson =

Stop being so snooty about
your failures. You're not
snooty? But you are, my friend.
Can't you see that this re-
fusal to reveal foolishness is
the worst sort of snootiness? BY
doing so you imply that you
aren't like all the other saps.
You-Wonderful You CAN'T
fail.
We All Blunder
Kick out of it, old dear!
Everyone blunders. Every one
makes fool of himself,
sooner or later. You're no de
luxe exception. Come clean!
'Fess up. Acknowledge you're
an idiot like all the rest of the
cockeyed human race. Be brave
enough to be laughed at. Laugh
at yourself. Share that laugh
with the other fellow. And
you'll be surprised to find
what relief it will be!
Resentment. There's the
rest of that secret burden.
Someone has hurt you; be-
trayed your trust; lied to you;
and the memory of it has been
poisoning you for years. You
can never quite forget it
never fully trust anyone after
that cruel thing that happened
to you.
But it didn't happen just to
you! Cruel things happen to
everyone. Stop thinking you're
the worlds worst martyr.
SHARE YOUR RESENT.
MENT.
Then, suddenly, an amazing
thing will happen. The minute
you begin to share your resent
ment, the resentment will begin
to shrink. It will no longer be
an enormous, personal burden.
1t will be part of the common
human eXperience-just the
luck of the trail.
Lonely? Feel apart? Then
stop feeling apart. Stop feeling
snooty and different. Stop
boarding your personal mis-
trusts. SHARE THEM-AND
THEY'LL SHRINK!
