Auto Wisdom

The United States Census Bureau has made public figures which show that with 100000 fewer automobiles on American roads in 1891 than in 1930, there were more auto accidents and more fatalities in connection with them. Only a little of the increase may fairly be blamed on the fact that there were many old cars on the roads which should have been permanently retired. The important factor in safety is still the carefulness of. the driver himself
 The automobile. like labor saving ma- chinery, is here to stay for quite while. It would be better to learn to drive with normal caution and courtesy than to take gambling chances on passing cars on hills and curves, beating trains to railroad cross- ings. disregarding traffic regulations in busy section. and generally making pest of oneself.

You're as young as your mind is and 70 is as good as any other time to get good start in lift" Alas! Perhaps we shall all chatter foolishly at 75, while posing as philosophers. But let us.,hope that at the, age we shall not, from mere force of habit and hardening of the mental arteries, continue planning for a .futufe that we have no reason to expect.

Oysters In Season

A tradition which persists. regardless of fact is that oysters should be eaten only in the months with the letter TT in their names. In the days before refrigeration and transportation were so good, it may have been unwise to eat oysters which had been brought long journey from their habitat in warm weather. Now they might as we'll be eaten the year around
 However, there is an oyster season, and it begins with September. the first r" month. It is expected that 512.000,000 worth of oysters will be harvested. giving employment to more than l7,000 oyster men, The supply is abundant, 100000 bushels or more.
 The Bureau of Fisheries of the Depart ment of Commerce reports that oysters are fine food. They contain iodine and vari- ous minerals needed by the human system. They are useful in treating nutritional anemia. Hail to the succulent oyster! He furnishes both employment and nourish- ment. two highly desirable elements of human existence.

ATTACKING SWEAT SHOPS
(Hartford imes)

The good name of Connecticut is helped by the prosecutions which have resulted in the fining of rep- resentatives of two. manufacturing concerns in Willimantic for gross violation of the state labor laws, and by the possibility that similar offenses elsewhere are to have like punishment. These prosecutions are phases of statewide campaign upon the part of Connecticut's la bor department to enforce the state laws regarding the employment of women and children. The off lenders, as the rule, have not been old Connecticut concerns, but new firms adventuring into the state in the hope of evading strict surveil- lance. Connecticut Is determined to suffer no continuing laxity in the enforcement of the humane laws 1t has enacted to protect the health, lives and safety of employees. Par- ticularly is this so in the instance of child-labor and the sweat-shop employment of women. Onenses have multiplied in the past, more than they should, betraying a con- dition which the state authorities are doing we'll to improve. When 344 violations of the law are charged in Mystic alone. the case in the whole state is likely to be worse than ts generally known. notwithstanding some cleaning up which s has already been done, notably in New Haven and Middle town f-< | A j. tf

We'll by midnight the old saying as Maine goes, so goes the nation will be quoted all over the United States, for by that time final results in that states voting should be known. Despite the fact that Maine is nothing if not roek-ribbed re-
 publican state and far from barometer of political events. politicians especially those of republican faith, have been able to cap- italize the old saw to their advantage. We don't suppose that if the democrats make great inroads into the customary large g. o. p. majorities to-day and carry off con- gressional seat they will be willing to ad- init that the trend in lo32 throughout the nation is democratic. Even last week repub- lieans in Maine were frank to admit that their customary large vote would dwindle. One congressional seat was conceded. Keep ing this in mind we fail to hold any hope

Monocacy Called Decisive
 Battle of Civil War

Perhaps you've never heard of the battle of Monocacy, in Mary land, but according to Fighting for Time" by Glenn H. Worthing.- ton. # was the decisive battle of the Civil War.
 " Making no literary pretensions. the book states its major premise early and then sets out to prove it by quoting from statements or generals, statesmen and the men in the fighting. 4 %AG
 In case you don't know, Mon- ocacy was the engagement between General Jubal A. sEarlys Cohfed- crates and General Lew Wallace's slender band which had been sent out to save Washington. Fought in July, 1864, it came as the most important engagement of the last Confederate invasion of Nary land. t%4sE
 Worthington tells us, was unim- portant. As as matter of fact, Early drove Wallace back in great confusion, took 700 prisoners, and proceeded to the very gates of the nations capital. The important part was that the battle delayed tLdTIy H IudTCu AOT z1 uvuHo c4AN gave Lincoln time to muster forces for the. defense of Washington.
 But to us, at any rate, the most interesting chapter in the whole book is the one devoted to the diary of a Union soldier captured in the battle. He was imprisoned at Danville, Va, and his picture of life in a Confederate prison is both clearly and painstakingly drawn.

Says the Hartford Times in a recent is- sue. Tt is idle, to deny that the governor is much stronger than the ticket which was named with him, albeit excellent men were selected. Colonel Hewes for lieutenant governor and Mir Citron for congressman at-large are the best known men in the group, although Alton T. Miner of New London, named for state secretary has been in public life for many years and enjoys the high respect and confidence of all who know him, both for his ability and for his high character J. Clifford Meany named for comptroller and A. Don Bitgood for treas urer are we'll known in their sections of the state ." That remark above makes us wonder if the democrats by making their ticket top-heavy, as did the republicans, may not run into the same difficulties Of course with both tickets top-heavy (we hear denials of that from both sides) there isn't much advantage. To our way of thinking either Governor Cross will carry the entire democratic ticket into office in November or Former Governor Trumbull will take his ticket into office. There won't be any half way measures this November. You can rely on that.

 THE FEDERAL FARM BOARD was hit hardest of all, its appro- priation being cut from $1,900,00O to $900,000. If it was to keep its employees on it would be all out of money by January 1, so it de- vised an elaborate furlough sys- tenn under which 140 employees were placed .on an indefinite fur tough" which amounted to dis missal. But Comptroller General McCar1 made a ruling which would have taken part of the fur tough saving for the treasury so the farm board changed the fur loughs to dismissals, which was made possible by putting them in the "expert" group not subject to civil service. The boards research activity has been especially cur tailed. There is difference of opinion whether much of that work wasn't duplicated by the de- pertinent of agriculture.

LOAN BANK POLICIES
(Hartfosd Courant)

In announcing the terms on which the Home Loan banks will deal directly with individuals. MT Franklin w. Fort, chairman of the Home Loan Bank Board, has com mendably followed the example of the Federal Reserve Board. The Reserve Board has ruled that the funds made available by the last for direct loans to ,indi- viduals will be made only on sc- curity of undoubted value for cer- tain approved purposes and only in cases where the local banks have been unwilling or unable to meet the individuals requirements. Sim ilarly, the Home Loan Bank Board has ruled that direct loans on mortgages may be made only in cases where local banks and build ing and loan associations have been unwilling or unable to extend suf- ficient credit, and then only in such amounts as the probabilities show would be repaid in case of fore- closure by the sale of the mort gagged property.
 Specifically, the Home Loan banks will loan, in the case of mortgages of eight years or more standing, no more than 60 per cent of the principal of the mortgage and not to exceed 40 per cent of the value of the real estate. In the case of mortgages that have been outstanding for less than eight years, only 50 per cent of the. un-' paid principle, not to exceed 80 per cent of the value of the real estate, will be loaned. Only first mortgages on homes, defined as dwelling places for not more than three families, will be accepted by the banks, and in no case will loans be made directly to individuals un- less the resources or the willing ness to loan of the established To- cal agencies have been exhausted.
 Most of these safeguards were written into the original bill set ting up the Home Loan banks. MT Forts announced determination. to deal with individuaIs only as a last resource is, however, welcome. AS in the case of the loans to. tndi- viduals through the Federal Re- serve banks, a policy of the least possible interference with private business has been established;- yet the needs in such localities where private business has been unablc adequately to deal with the situa- tion have been met. The Recon- struction Finance Corporation, the Federal Reserve System and the
 Home Loan banks now have all registered their determination not to hold out the grab bag for un- needed and, with a few exceptions, unsecured loans.

Convention Echoes

Just as Governor Cross stands out in the state as the result of his stand at the demo- cratic convention last week, so does Mayor Hayes of this city loom as the city's dem ocratic leader He exerted leadership that was commented upon by delegates from many cities who admired his stand and his independent attitude. When it came time for nominations for lieutenant-governor. Mayor Hayes took the platform and in no uncertain tones declared that since 1t was the desire of the leaders to eliminate Con- troller Daniel J. Leary for consideration the city was without candidate.
 He expressed himself in this fashion: Waterbury has eentered on one candidate, Daniel J. Leary, our choice for lieutenant governor We cannot and will not agree on any other candidate from Waterbury. He has asked me to say inasmuch as his can- didacy is not agreeable or acceptable for some reason to certain leaders that he with draws The democratic city of Waterbury is without a candidate"
 How refreshing were these remarks es- peeially when compared with the following ret6rt by Executive Secretary Kenneth WYnne. III tEe lnleIeStS Cl ldIHloHy l desire, before presenting candidate for lieu tenant governor to explain why the gov- .ernor and others did not see fit to agree to The candidate advanced by Waterbury. Wa terbury has been. known as democratic city. It has been known as the city which has something on everybody. And, it would seem that there are times when it very right ly is known as The Brass City," We wouldn't blame the delegates to boo such statement.
 Coming from the governors secretary, 1t was far from soothing to already ruffled feelings. We. should say that in the ex- change Mayor Hayes showed himself the more dignified As to Waterbury's reputa- tions naturally we are proud of it and like to boast about it.. Who wouldn't We've teen1 democratic in Waterbury so long. not merely in local politics, but state and na- tional as we'll. that we rather think the title of the democratic city of the state is we'll earned. If any other city in the state can make as good a showing over as long period of years we want to hear about It and join in praise of it. If any city can do all this and still go unreeognlzed with out disrupting party harmony we also want to hear about it.
