creasinR number of express highways and bouletsrds by means of current expenses Upkcep will be SO great for those in ex- istence that there will be little money for expansion. That means that bond issues will be fosted. And there sfe few of us who want to see highways built out of bond money. They aren't permanent enough for that. When some scientist discovers hard surface that can be abused over a per- iod of say twenty years. then we can go in for highway bonds. But until then we should conhne expenses within the depart ment budget.
 Tine new Merritt boulevard in Fairfield county is a tremendous proposition. We presume it won't be built and ready from the New York state line to Nichols for sev- eral more years, inasmueh as it is just started and rights of way for its entire length are not yet procured. A sufficiently large bond issue would certainly enable the state to complete it in perhaps half the time it will take. But that would certainly mean that the road would have to be self-sustaining like the Bear Mountain bridge and other toll structures In time. these privately owned and managed projects will revert to public ownership. but certainly not until the orig inal investors have been paid in full and made some profit.
 That's why public toll roads threaten us. but still are not indulged in profusely. Oc- casionally state or some political subdi- vision of it may experiment along this line. but there is no wholesale indulgence in this throw-baek to the stage coach days. But the idea is as sound as that of toll bridges and state legislatures are only as strong as their weakest member. Sooner or later some General Assembly will grant concession to financially sound corporation and then the country will find itself faced with the prob- lem of driving over the state roads or those of private companies Public ownership of even toll roads is certainly far better than this state of affairs would be.

Aviation Courtesy

Not all summer traffic troubles are con- fined to the highways and city streets. The first fine days have brought out lot of fly CTS who seem to forget about Department of Commerce regulations requiring them to keep up at least 500 feet over open country and 1000 feet over urban territory. The regular transport planes. following the reg ular routes and schedules. do not offend. Privately owned and commercial planes which take passengers up for short rides. for sightseeing jaunts and so on. are the ones inclined to forget or ignore the regulations.
 There are several good reasons for the altitude ruling. In the first place it is safer for the flyer himself. In case of trouble, he has better chance of finding and reaching safe landing place successfully. It is con- sequently safer for the people on the ground. It also eliminates the nuisance of roaring engines so close as to frighten children. waken sleeping babies and disturb invalids. At present the public has nothing but ad- miration for flying and flyers. That feel ing could very easily be changed into one of annoyance and dislike if the publies comfort and confidence were sufficiently abused.

Fairfield county Isn't losing much sleep over the fact that Hartford county has pro- posed the name of States Attorney Hugh M. Aleorn for governor on the republican ticket. It is proceeding with its long an nounced intention of presenting the name of a former state official for that nomina- ton - Clifford B. Wilson. It is some time now. since the republicans down around Bridgeport first mentioned the former lieu tenant-governor for first place on the re- publican ticket. At a recent meeting of the Fairfield County Republican League he was once more boomed for the nomination. Republicans will have their hands full at their coming state convention if State Chair man Rorabaek decides to remain aloof. There are now anywhere from five to ten hopefuls in the republican ranks. all with sizable fol- lowings and all quite desirous of engaging in political combat with the democratic in- cumbent. Governor Cross We should think that they would have more respect for the democratic leaders ability. He demonstrated that it was considerable two years ago. We know that he will prove he has lost none of his strength this fall. That ought to be enough to keep down the list of g.o.p nominees, but hope always will spring eternal in the human breast

Credit Pool For Europe

Delegates to the separations congress at Lausanne have suggested a general credit pool to support governmental credit by guaranteeing the debts of nations now in danger of bankruptcy. This would be ap- plying internationally some such policy as we have been applying in America to our in- dustries and banking institutions. The purpose is the same. The advocates of this measure say that if the governments can maintain their credit. private business will revive.
 Whether anything comes of the proposal or not, it is a big forward step to have it seriously put forward. European economists and statesmen are recognizing at last that the basic causes of prosperity and diversity are international rather than merely national or domestic. that the economic system is a world affair largely independent of politics. So they are only asking of governments not to interfere unduly. but to provide what help they can when unwise interference has slowed down the machinery.

A Book a Day
Slaves Heart Out So He Gan
 Learn to Paint :.
by BRUCE CATION

Ordinarily, when you find a novelist going am-of-conscious- ness on you, you are quite, safe in shutting him off and going out tu a movie. However. in the novel Beauty Lies Beyond He'll" by Howard w. Roper, this rule fails to apply. The book has tortured, irritating style, but there's solid nourishment in 1t.
 It is a story about city lad in his middle teens. He wants to be an artist, and to do that he has to go to art school. He is an orphan and he has no money, so he has to slave away at a series of poorly paid odd jobs to put himself through school.
 The story covers just one year in his life, and 1t leaves him in much the same situation as he occupied when the story began; but some how, simple as it is, it tells you something-tells you something about the disinherited, and their struggle for 8 little bit more than daily bread, and the tantalizing dreams that come to them, and the pathetic ways in which they try to make them come true.
 This lad works-in a dance hall. in a chemical factory, in store. He meets girls, loves them, loses them; they move away, or they fall i'll and die, or better men come along and take them away. And all the time he keeps his eye on his great ambition, and tries to fight through to the beauty which he has glimpsed.
 It makes a moving story. You'll find it a bit hard to read, maybe, but it's worth the effort. MT Roper is sincere and he understands things.
 It is published by Ray Long and Richard R. Smith, and costs $2.

Here, There And Euery.Ohere

Evening Post Mrs Evelyn Harris describes the shrewd method by which she managed to acquire the goods and services which she and her children and her farm needed, without writing checks or handing over currency. Her original schemes went far beyond the simple swap ping of butter and eggs for goods at the village general store. She dis covered tradable resources on her fruit farm which in pre-depression days she had never considered con- vertible into commodities.
 Driving to Baltimore to try to borrow cash for overdue interest payments, she got the first insrir- alton for her bartering career from the sight of men setting posts along an embankment. She at once found a cash market for lo-s cust posts from her woodland; and the Top wood, cut into stove lengths. was used to settle school-trans- portation bills for the children and also an account with the grocer. More trades followed. A truckload of corn-cobs for burning was ex- changed for a dozen family hair cuts at the village barber shop. Musical talent was traded for three days stay at Baltimore ho- tel. Maryland chickens bought a permanent wave. Apples and
 homemade sausages and spare ribs paid for the renewal of maga-
 zine subscriptions. Southern Nancy Hall sweet potatoes and roasting chickens were accepted in exchange for. membership in a book-a month club. Wheat was traded for flour. at the local mil ler's and corn for feed for young chicks. Spraying trees paid the garage bill. Farm labor was paid for a time in food supplies. but the authors check for her article on her experiences will help carry that burden. st

Don't Fail the Nation

Whether or not hot and disgruntled del- egates to the democratic convention decide on a presidential candidate today, the fact remains that 1t is to this party that the voters of the nation are looking with much expectation. Having witnessed the debaele of the republican party in recent years, there, is no other alternative for them. We won der if the democratic leaders out in Chicago realize that. There is more to the nomina- ton than the man who is the eventual win ner. He holds in his hand the destinies of millions of people. And today more than ever is needed man with the courage of his convictions and the ability to put his beliefs into action.
 So far as we can see the only authority that President Hoover has shown in his three years in office was in preventing his commissioners announcing that repeal ot the prohibition laws was necessary. And judging by all that. we see and hear his attitude on this subject is contrary to that of his fellow officials. as well as good majority of the voters. The democrats. if they hope to change control of the adminis- tration, must keep such facts as this in mind. We have no out and out dry candidates in the ranks. But there is too apt to be among those seeking the honor of leading the party to victory this fall men who might sacrifice principle for expectancy.
 There is no dearth of candidates in dem- ocratic ranks this year. Neither is there such an outstanding candidate, such as Alfred E. Smith was in 1928. all of which means that whenever the democrats choose to carry the standard this fall. there should be no lack of enthusiasm at his nomination. As long as the democrats stick to the principles which made them the party of the common people in the bygone days they will be sue- eessful. But if they deviate and try to be- come party of select few. they will be doomed to disappointment. The people need a champion today. Let us hope that the dsmoerats at Chicago find one today or im- niediately thereafter.

The River Euphrates

We'll wager that a good many people haven't heard the name Euphrates since their school days. It was like welcoming long lost friend for us to read that the first steel highway bridge across the Euphrates river is almost completed. The bridge is in upper Iraq and is forty miles from Bagdad. increased motor travel between Bagdad and Damascus especially since the World War. has caused the bridge to be built. And thus modern civilization begins to penetrate even to the hitherto impenetrable regions. We never thought of the Euphrates as anything but link with bygone centuries.
 Commenting upon this modern accom- plishment bulletin from the National Geographic Society headquarters at Wash ington says, Roads have been beaten out in the sands along the Euphrates by men and eamcls, horses and ehariots. for fifty cen- turies. Rigid bridges have played minor part in this continuous traffic. Floating bridges have been strung across at half dozen points; and at other places ferries are operated. The favorite type of ferry is attached by pulleys to fixed cable stretched from bank to bank. and IS propelled across the stream in either direction by the force of the current striking the inclined side of ferry and rudder.
 "Only the Nile has so venerable record as the Euphrates and its companion river. the Tigrs, and even the Nile IS less rich in historic incident. Tie Euphrates has been the boundary line of successive empires: along it have surged battles and invasions that have changed world history; beside 1t have grown some of the greatest cities that ever existed. To its valley can be traced the beginning of many practices. arts and sciences that civilization cherishes today - sciences and practices as varied as astronomy and the drawing of bank drafts, geometry, calendar calculations, and the mortgaging of real estate -.
 Who knows but what the Euphrates once flowed through the Garden of Asia. It is often said that this portion of western Asia was the site of the Garden. Certainly it is rich in lore of early mankind. And the steel bridge is just intruding upon this paradise. That seems incredible to us in the western hemisphere. But no more incredible than the marvels of our age must seem to the natives of such region. where primitive methods and beliefs still prevail. The river Euphkates will never be anything but his- torieal, almost biblical in its meaning to us.

POPULATION DRIFTS
.fNew Britain Heraldl

A drop in the Connecticut birth rate for the first four months of the year has been greater in pro- portion than a drop in the death rate. The state department of health reports that for the four- month period, the number of births in Connecticut was 7,624. a rate of 13.8 per 1000 population (annual basis). During the same period of 1931, the number of births was 8,503 and the rate was 15.6 per 1000 population. In 1880. the first four months brought 0,283 births, which was at the rate of 17.2 per 1000.
 A slump in the marriage market likewise is reported. The rate has dropped from AS in the first four months of 1880 to Al per 1000 in 1882. This drop is not as precipit- ous as the drop in the birth rate. Tn spite of hard times it is evident that the lovelorn continue to have the courage to take a chance that two can live as cheaply as one.
 Which leads to the assumption that Connecticut is joining in the tendency of the age. The U. s. ceii- sus of 1930 revealed that fewer children less than five years old and a proportionally greater num- Der of persons more than 75 years old were revealed. F. K. Whelp- ton, of the Scripps Population for Population Problems predicts an era of decreased population on the basis of the 1920-1930 census trends. The. 193O census was the first to show a drop in children un- der five to nine, ten to IA. and It to .19. It was the first census to show fewer children under five than the preceding census. The decrease in the birth rate has been steady since 1921, 1t is shown from the statistics.
 Vital statistics from Europe run along the same general trend. The birth rate in the crowded European nations has been steadily declining Observers conclude this phenom- enon is due largely to economic conditions.
