on Depression and Sees Better Days Ahead

for private life and tho other for
business.
"If I thought the time had come
when men can't be honest In bus
mess should fear for the future"
said Mr. Coe in pointing out that
Mr. Berry had answered his own
question in an anecdote about his
carly life in horse racing when all
horse dealers were dishonest and
q man made u fortune In honest
horse trading.
A Torrington guest asked the
next question, suggesting he would
like some word of encouragement
for those hurt by the depression.
Mr. Coe said he recently studied a
chart of the business life of the
past 40 years In which oil the de-
pressions and their duration were
pictured. He said we had come
out of all the other ones and he
saw no reason why we would not
recover from this one nor from
any other, which would occur In
the future. He pointed out that
the drop often Is like dropping u
crowbar into well" and the re.
turn to normal business Is q slow
process.
"We'll get out Of It as we always
have" he said. I'VE are paying
for living in O FOOLS paradise.

must learn them, we will be wiser
than we were In the imitation per-

present Day
Traffic Problems
Subject of Address By W,
J. Price at YMCA

Fifty-flve men attended last
nights banquet of the Naugatuck
Valley Industrial Traffic association
at the Central YMCA last night.
The speaker was w. Il. Price chair
man Of the traffic committee Of the
Hartford Chamber Of Commerce
and traffic manager of the J. b.
williams company Of Glastonbury.
Others at .hte speakers Table were
Lee II. Dowd, president of the local
traffic club, M. j. Darcy, John M.
Lynch, II. A. Kirk of Hartford,
Perley w. Brown, James c. Greer
and p. N. Laskas.
Mr. Price In his talk on present
Day Traffic Problems paid espe-
legislation. He declared that eight
years ago all motor truck trans
portation men were decidedly OPP
posed to any legislation at all, but
at the presen time this opposition
had faded considerably and the
time would soon come when some
legislation regulating motor traffic
would be enacted. He urged those
present to give this thought fair
consideration to get constructive
eSlSidtlOn past anu uOI " oppoSS
legislation because by so doing laws
unfavorable to fair transportation
would be passed as had been done
in other states.
There should be no feeling be-
tween the railroads and the motor
truckers, he said. Both should
work for the best service to the
public. Neither one of the two
transportation mediums should at
tempt to crowd out the other, but
should work together for. the COM
mon good of all. The railroads at
present have their own. traucks
and so are just as interested in the
legislative problems as the indie
pendent truckers. Legislation along
progressive lines Is the only thing
that will set fair standard for all.
The executive committee of the
Traffic club Is composed of Lee H.
Dowd. James v. Dwyer, Thomas j.
Courtney, Martin J. Tehan, Fred A.
Brown, James B. Griffin. and
James C.. Greer.
The entertainment during the
banquet was furnished by the Dixie
Banjo orchestra from Watertown
high school.

Troop 9 Boy
Scout Contest
Meeting to Be Held at
Hebrew Institute To-
night

This evening at s o'clock there
Will be held at the Waterbury He
brew Institute on kingsbury street
contest climaxing drive that
has been in force for the past FIVE
weeks by Troop 20, Boy Scouts Of
America.
This contest tonight between the
Pioneer Patrol, Lone Wolf Patrol
and Pine Tree Patrol will demon
strate the entire proficiency and
learning that has been taught the
members Of Troop 20. It ranges
from the proficiency In tying ordin-
airy and complicated knots to the
art Of making fire by use Of piece
OF quartz and steel, The variety of
events provide that each boy find
some one thing that he Is proficient
In.
In the past Ave weeks eight mer.
II badges and three second class
awards have been made to men,
bers Of Troop 20. Scouting has
reached new peak and the boys
are going strong for newer awards
to conquer. Every day boys from
the various patrols can be detected
assembled In their patrol corners
at the troop meeting place practice
Ing and studying their scout tests. /.
It Is expected that district and
council officials will be present at
this rally. This contest Is also be-
ing regarded with acute interest by
many other troop officials because
Troop 20 has always led the field
In scouting at meets and rallies.
With the passing of time, however,
the older record holders have be-
come ineligible for competition in
further rallies and II remains to be
seen whether the newer boys are
Of the same championship caliber.
Troop 20 was founded on April
30, 1917 by q group Of young Jew
ish people In the belief that scout
Ing would hold q greater attraction
for the Jewish boy. In the years
that have elapsed this has been full
ly proven. 1t Is the Oldest troop In
Waterbury In terms OF continuous
service. Troop 20 is stated by q
group OF young leaders woh have
grown up with the troop and un-
derstand It's every need.

TAFT AT
DAVENPORT HALL
Blamed Voters for Misfits
Sent to Make Laws !
at Washington
A JOKE in EUROPE

In his talk on History of Con-
gress in the United States" Horace
d. Taft, headmaster at Taft school,
sought to show how Congress has
worked and muddled through the
various phases of our history from
the Continental Congress down to
the present time, in an address de-
iivered at Davenport hall Of the
Second Congregational church last
night. The first Continental Con.
gress was no better than our pres
ent one he said. It bungled and
muddled finances during the rev.
olution land afterwards. It's only
great deed, Mr. Taft said, was the
appointment of George Washing
ton as the commander in chief Of
the army.
In 1861, Mr. Taft said, Congress
was still the same muddling body.
It failed to see the great problem
facing It and muddled the war
until we were the laughing stock
Of oil European nations. At first It
lent Lincoln some aid, but soon re-
verted back to its old policy Of
"office seeking for constituents and
sometimes for themselves. 1.-THE
browning disgrace of Congress, the
speaker averred, was the attempt
ed Impeachment of President
Johnson on grounds so fiimsy they
would make a school boy laugh.
In international politics, he stat
ed, Congress has extremely bad
manners. They interfere In politics
of other nations where they have
no business. Europeans now have
come to the point of laughing at
their antics and expressions Of
sympathy with the remark, That's
only the United States Congress.
Taking the whole bungling. Mr.
Taft declared, 1t Is the people who
are at fault. They fail to Judge
their congressman in the proper
light and have q total lack of In
terest In what Congress does. This
Indifference gives Congress power
that It never could acquire II the
people thought as a nation and
forced Congress to do the same.

machine that he found II impos-
sible to avoid striking her. He
applied the brakes. which q subse-

able to purchase poisoned bait has
been eliminated in the senate. In
Minnesota the state laws do not
permit county authorities to use or
appropriate money for such pur-
poses. Minnesota furnished about
$4,000 in aid from the state cal
amity fund in 1881 and a very &C
tive campaign was carried on. One
difficulty encountered which must
be avoided in 1882 was the delay
in beginning the fight until the
hoppers were too old and advanced
to be reached and to be greatly af-
fected by the bait. The poisoned
bait is effective If applied and
made available to the hoppers just
after emerging from the eggs.
These young hoppers devour the
bait at that state with no reser-
walton whatever.
The grasshopper scourages of
past years are recalled. They
have always come after a series of
dry years. In the past various me
thods of control have been tried.
Not until this year however, have
plans been perfected for the large
scale operations that I have out
lined. Congress is expected to pro-
vide the necessary funds for pur-
chase Of the poisoned bait and the
farmers will apply it under expert
direction. The most efficacious
method, however, will be natures

platform calling for the election Of
legislators with party designations.
This move is considered vital to
the rehabilitation of all party or
CARNATIONS in the state and the
development Of party responsible
ity which the voters are demanding.
Indications now are that Secre-
tary-of-State Mike Holm, Attorney
General Henry Benson, and State
Treasurer Julius Schmahl will
choose to seek reelection to their
present posts and will come before
the Conference for Endorsements
for these positions. Gubernatorial
possibilities are many and names
which have been mentioned include
Earle Brown, Ray Chase, Theo-,
dore Christianson, Charles Elm
quist, John Haugen. N. ]. Holm
berg, Oscar Swenson and w. s.
Moscrip. Some have persisted in
advancing Julius Schmahl and
Henry Benson as possibilities.
The great number of suggestions
make it clear that no one man will
come to the conference with win
ming block of votes pledged direct
ly to him. The race for the in
dorsement for the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission berth re-
mains wide open as o. Fl B. Jacob
son, the commissioner whose term
expires, has announced that he will
not seek reelection because of his
poor health.
The pre-conference platform COM
mittee is now engaged in drafting
model planks for submission to
the delegates so that the short
time available for platform drafting
at the Conference will not prove a
handicap to those charged with the
task. The work of the committee
now will in no way be final, and it
will submit alternative planks on
all controversial issues.
The State Central Committee has
issued the official calls for the
Congressional District Conventions
to be held April 9th. The delega-
tions chosen at the county gather
ings for the State Convention April
3Oth will also go to the District
meetings.
eff the spirit that has been man
ifest among Republicans during the
last two months is maintained UNI
til November, there can be no
doubt that the voters will return to
the party control Of the State Ad-
ministration," Mr. Macmillan said.

from the conference with a state
ticket which will merit the whole
