"As man of the world, in marital

the justice is on one side? You your

Stimulated by this encouragement,
Dicky continued.
Since she's been my wife I've done
nothing more offensive than she'd seen
me do during our engagement"

nately. this was the first time I'd been
asked to hustle and my solitary business
went up the f1ue while we were on our
honeymoon. That threw me on her re-
sources. So if you come right down to
it. the trouble between us is money.
Other things aren't the cause; they're
the aggravation."
Give swung his leg over the arm Of
his chair.
What do you propose to do?'
What I've done is more important
I haven't had drink since she left me.
I've gone to work-accepted the first
job that offered. I'm an automobile

How on earth did you get the idea that

Because I'm desperate" Dickys
voice shook with agitation. I'm not
entirely selfish. I'm thinking of her.
She's Young. She's lost her maiden
freshness. No more dew on the rose.
No illusions. I don't need to tell you
that fellows steer clear of divorces:
AS I see things, if she refuses to md
her happiness with me, she's ruined"
The part that Give had been playing
crumbled. He sprang to his feet.
'As you see things you've robbed her

reason why no man will desire her.
Can't you realize-?'
Everything"
Give walked over to his coat and
flung it at him.
Advise her to return to you! I'd
rather advise her to take poison.
Dicky shuffled to his feet.
Il made mistake in approaching

On the threshold he paused.
You're a bachelor You can't under

a first marriage. You may think that
a woman who's been married before

some degree of control over production is needed along with financial control. espe- eially in industries like coal and oil. But as regards production in general, it seems curious that SO many writers on economics should seem to assume that consumption is fixed thing. to which production should be adapted. Very often it seems exactly the other way - that consumption itself might be adapted to production.
 This can be done partly through prices And in prateiee. this regulator of eonsump- ton tends to work automatically in the long run. Business slowly raises prices and thereby checks buying when production is small It lowers prices and thereby ex- bands buying when production is large. De- liberate, systematic control might hatsen the process. Another effective way of ex- banding consumption so as to absorb big production is high wages. Credit operates in the same way.
 It is possible that even the great indus trial production of the recent boom period could have been absorbed if. as mechanical efficiency and output increased. larger share of the benefit had been passed along to tAS Seueidi PuUHS III lOIuI Ol iOWeL prices and higher wages, instead of SO much of it going into corporate dividends and surplus and being capitalized in high stock prices and new stock issues. More credit. too, should have gone into general business instead of into stock speculation.
 To many dispassionate outsider, it looks as if the present situation was caused less by overproduetion of commodities than over production of securities The public couldn't consume the securities and the commodities at the same time Suppose next time the ex- eessive industrial profits, as they began to appear were turned into channels as sug gested above, that would keep the system running by providing the buying power for commodities. Then there wouldn't need to be so much worry about the volume of production, because the bigger the output the more goods people would be able to buy

Cheap Travel

Clarence Chamberlin, flying from Detroit to New York in a new airplane, says the 600-mle trip cost him S4. The plane has Diesel engine of American design which burns fuel oil, at cost of around six cents gallon. The fuel serves also as lubricant.
 Two-thirds of a cent mile is pretty cheap travel, whether by afr. land or water. Yet compared with present possibilities, that was an expensive flight. Chamberln says he could have carried six passengers at cost of 65 cents apiece. Also that they could have flown to Paris for $4 piece.
 The pilots arithmetic obviously takes no account of such items as depreciation, re- pairs and overhead Still. the example is impressive and the possibilities are promis- ing Motors of many new types are being announced, nearly all far more powerful and economical Transportation is going to be absurdly cheap pretty soon. for pleasure and business. There will be many business op- portunities for those who realize the possi- bilties early.

Tree surgeons were put to work on the oak and they did ereditable job SO that the tree fourished and grew bigger as each year passed. It stood at that time south of the village green. However. when it was tsansplanted to its recent location it had to inhale the poisonous exhaust gases of every passing motor vehicle, as well as tremble. lest speeding cars climb right into the tiny green. Now it stands in the junior high school yard and we sincerely hope that its years will be undsturbed and that it will grow to be a mighty oak from which acorns will drop and develop tinier ones. It would be inter-
 esting some time to find out what ever did become of the many other Constitutional oaks. We think the state librarian sought such information not so many years back.

MORE LIGHT IS NEEDED
(Meriden Journal)

State Tax Commissioner William H. Blodgett has given out some figures about Connecticut's three largest cities and they serve well to illustrate why important centers are feeling the financial pinch.
 Hartford, according to the com- has total debt of $21,- 295,514, which makes the per cap- ita debt $117. and the increase in debt during 1881 was $2,161,712; New Haven's total debt $15,192,I 567, with the per capita $69, and the increase in debt during the year was $884,753; Bridgeport's total debt $14,852,S09 with the per cap. ita $99.54, and the increase during the year was $1,143,500. E
 Borrowings on such a lavish scale require large interest payments and periodic reductions in princi- pal and that is one reason that the above communities and others are finding that they cannot raise enough income from taxes to meet their budgets.
 The state commissioner has done a public service. in warning the people of the three cities that "the time has come to halt further caps ital outlay; the bonded debt must be cut and expenditures must be kept below income" The commis- sioner should go further and pub- fish the debt and the debt increase in other communities whose offi- cials make a secret of these facts. In those places the people are nke- ly. to go blissfully on with their free spending until the legislature has to take control of municipal affairs, as was done in Waterbury.

A good many people believe that birds migrate southward in winter time. because of the severe weather conditions. That isn't the truth at all Birds are capable of stand- ing considerable cold. But when winter de- seends on the northern half of this contin- ent it covers up available food supplies, so the birds fly to climate where they can find food There aren't berries or fruits for birds depending to great extent on this fodder. Insects grubs and worms are hber- hating. In short the birds use their instinct to guide them to food. The weather has little or nothing to do with their annual migrations north and south. There are many birds that spend the winters with us, probably more now that people and organ izations are establishing bird feeding stat tions

More Deporting

Secretary of Labor Doak anticipates the deportation of 10000 aliens in l932, an increase of 1858 over the number deported in l93l. The number is too small to make much difference in the life of the nation as whole. When millions are unemployed and needing relief, few thousands are only drop or so in the bucket
 As the deportations increase however, it becomes more important that justice and humanity be strictly observed. that the spirit rather than the letter of the law be allowed. that people be not sent away from our shores to greater hardships and miseries than they are enduring here. Or is it asking too much in the way of human brotherhood to ask that the future of the deportees them selves be considered. as well as the immediate situation of the country which deports them? With so many countries taking up this practice. the problem becomes import ant everywhere.

DEFEAT OF SENATOR BING-
 HAMS PROPOSAL
(Hartford Courant)

Senator Bingham had no expec-
 tation that his resolution, to the ef- feet that the senate would welcome a referendum by the several states as a test of the sentiment on the prohibition question, would be adopted. He may have expected,
 however, that it would command more than fifteen votes, since 1t is known that 37 members of the senate have indicated that they are either for repeal or modification of the 18th amendment. The view of many of these senators was that the resolution was meaningless be- cause there is no way for congress to compel the states to take such action.
 It was amusing to find some senators arguing that all should act solely in their representative ca- pacity and slDuld not attempt to
 pass the buck" by having the wishes of the people consulted. This accorded with the present position taken by the Anti-Saloon league and the Methodist board. But when the amendment was original ly proposed, and senators in their representative capacity felt that it's adoption would be unwise and they
 were disposed to vote accordingly, its sponsors assured them that by supporting reference of the ques- tion to the states they would not in any way commit themselves to prohibition. They would only be giving the legislatures of the sev- eral states an opportunity to ex- press themselves. So with this un- derstanding. senators were pre- vailed upon to stifle their own convictions. But now that the amendment has been written into the constitution, the tactics are re- versed. Senators are told that it is
 no part of their business to give the people whack at it, that they
 must disregard all popular clamor and uphold the amendment even if they still believe it to be unwise. It will strike many persons as strange that if prohibition really
 commands popular support there should be such reluctance on the part of drys to have that fact made
 known by giving the people a chance to express themselves. But this opportunity cannot be forever
 denied. If not in one way, then
 in another, the people will ulti-
 mately decide whether they wish to retain prohibition or permit it
 to lapse into desuetude through
 the continued process of nullifica- tion. Nothing is plainer than that
 the law is not being enforced and that there is no likelihood that it
 will ever meet with such universal acceptance as to make it's enforce
 ment a reality. Through direct po- litical action the people will even- tually determine this matter to their satisfaction. The recent de-
 feats of dry candidates for con-
 gress, even in so-called dry terri tory. are not without significance.
 Senator Bingham has from the first realized the hopelessness of trying to get the senate to be in-
 tellectually honest in dealing with the question, but he is no less en-
 titled to credit for the efforts he is
 expending in that direction. He
 has displayed courage and deter imitation of high order, and his stand will have the appreciation of
 all those who admire senator
 whose convictions will not yield to intimidation.

Newington has finally given up one of its lucrative means of income. For years two parklets, within one of which stood lone tree, have been part of Newington's charm and beauty. However, as traffic became heavier, Newinston fell in line with other communities where right, left and circular turns are usually involved and diverse. AL though the parklets were just trife off center (by that we mean thev weren't ex- actly in the middle of the road irtersection) Newington oficialdom proclaimed that traf- hc at the points should be rotary that is
 the green must be circled for left turns, in- stead of cutting in front of it, Motorists who were unacquainted with this fact usual ly cut in front of the green in making left turn. although the town officials had posted signs some feet distant proelaiming rotary traffic at the point. They also placed Go Right signs on the parklet. So if a motor. lst did violate the mandate he had only him. self to blame. However, even though the town coffers were considerably enriched by fines last summer and fall the entire plan of traffic is to be revised. And the reason is ono lone tree, an oak. It happens to be Newing- tons Constitution oak. distributed to the members of the last Constitutional eonven- ton held in 1901. The Constitutional oak brought to Waterbury by ex-mayor Francis P. Gulfoile is now growing in front of Duggan school in Brooklyn. We are glad to see that Newington is giving its Consti- tutional oak the care 1t should receive.
