four PER CENT BEER
MEASURE ATTACKED
AT DRY CONFERENCE
Anti.SaIoon League Counsel
Says Bill Would Permit
Liquor LegaIization

Washington, Jan. 16.-(P-A direct
attack upon the Becklinthicum prohi-
bition amendment introduced In the
house Friday was made Saturday be-
fore the Anti-Saloon League by it,
counsel. Edward, a.. Dunford.
The amendment In effect would re-
turn liquor control to the states, with
the government supervising interstate
regulation. It is supported by the an
ti-prohibition forces In the house.
This would permit the legalization
Of liquor" Dunford said. TT would
destroy the uniformity Of legislation
It has no guarantee against return OF
the saloon, and no guarantee the fed
eral government will cooperate In en-
forcement In states that are dry.
Policy Of Sectionalism
1T Is policy Of sectionalism, such
as not provided for In any other law
under the constitution. Here is a
provision would would provide that
the prohibition policy might be one
way in one state and q different one
In another.
II understand 1t is q measure carry
ing out policies recommended by q
minority Of the Wickersham commits

In direct answer to advocates OF
legalized beer who urge the brew as
a revenue measure, Dunford said I'VE
can no more drink ourselves into pros
perity collectively than we can indi-
vidually."
VIII Intoxicate Many
Dunford said testimony before q
senate study beer bills lis sufficient to
show" that four per cent beer will
"intoxtcate many individuals" add
ing:
I'm view Of these facts there is no
justification for congress entering the
realm Of speculation and fixing an al
coholic content which, II sufficiently
low not to produce intoxication, will
not satisfy those who demand an in
toxicating beverage. or. II sufficiently
high to produce intoxication, contra
venes the amendment itself.
Dunford said repeal bills, (which
represent the real program Of the op-
ponents Of the 18th amendment" were
unconstitutional.

Homes of the Future

T think of the house of the future not in terms of what we normally call home as enclosed space" says the chairman of the architectural committee of the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair. The first step in human civilization was to settle at one point and cease to be nomadie. but the cycle seems to have turned. and with modem machine transportation we are again becoming nor madie Hence the enclosed space in which we live must be constructed in such way that it, too. can be moved" The furnish ings would be included in such houses, which would be bought fully outfitted as cars are bought with all these accessories.
 The gentleman may be right. Domestic architecture certainly is going to experience some changes in the next few decades and few persons who look back over the past would dare to say that anything is impos. sible. Yet it hardly seems an ideal develop ment to have all homes movable and on the move large share of the time. Think what it would do to traffic to have the human race carry it's houses around with it as snails and turtles dol
 Let the architects design us some com fortable and compact land yachts in which to do little roaming. but let them also design us efficient and beautiful modern homes which will stay put. Granted that modern transportation makes us again no. madie why should we not travel to south ern home in the winter and northern home in the summer. with metropolitan home for the business season, and SO on'

Legal Packets

Times like these bring many business re- eeiverships, and receiverships lately have been bringing many scandals and much bit- terness Several judges are under fire in Cal ifornia for alleged eomplieity in reeeivership frauds. There are rumblings of trouble in various parts of the country. with loud outery in Chicago. A bulletin of the Chi edgo bar association is interesting.
 It says There is foreclosure ring com posed of lawyers. There is a reeeivership ring composed of lawyers. In receivership the estate is first carved up by the lawyers and receivers. and thereafter the creditors do very little receiving. There must be fear less investigation. The alleged outrageous fees the alleged political reeeiverships and the alleged foreclosure rings must be brought from the sunless cavefns to the light of day." That would be a good serv. ice to the whole country.

dono with it?' Their descsndents still live in Mashpee, together with other folk of Cape Verde ancestry. They are law abiding and quiet, but thcy Jack in financial genius; hence the general court is striving to extricate them from their mone- tary difficulties.
 The plan, 70 far, has developed q commission to function until 1885. It is to supervise the imam ciai affairs of the town, but none of tho townspcopie appeared at the hearing at which the bill was de- scribed. The committee in charge was told by the secretary of state that there Is lack of responsibi1. ity in the conduct of the towns affairs, while another Of1iciai said that q considerable amount of out standing taxes might be collected, but even this is of minor import ance, as thcre is difIicuity in secur- ing c bond for the tax collector, and until he can file one ho can collect no taxes. It does not appear whether there exists lack of con- fdence in the collector whether there is general disinclination to pay taxes.
 We do not know whether or not 1t is possible for the state to ap- point q receiver for a town. Tf- dications 1re that something of the sort must be done, for none of the adjoining towns care to annex Mashpee.

Men and Women Flyers

Amelia Dodges Issue" reads headline. The story goes on to explain that an inter- viewer in London asked the flying lady whether she thought she had demonstrated that women aviators are "as good as men" Miss Esrhart replied: No. it is not time for that. nor for making any comparisons between men and women flying until women fly as men do and on the same basis until then we shall make no statement as to the possible abilities"
 All of which seems not lodging any is- sue but speaking with complete good sense. Some women aviators have handled the con- trols doubtless as well as many men svators. Many women have faced real perls and met emergencies in the air with eoolness. skill and courage. As yet. however. they do not overhaul their planes themselves or make their own preparations for special flights. They are not. as Miss Earhsr puts il. "on the same basis as men"
 She might have gone step farther in an- sweriDg the interviewer and told him that there never would be any particular point in comparing men and women avistors.

Science of Seeing

Efficient and commons sense developments in lighting are suggested by the name which the lighting engineers now apply to their work. They call it the Science of seeing" More brilliant illumination is no longer their goal. Neither is decorative illumina. tion. Unless the lighting arrangement of home or school or office. factory or work shop. makes it easier for human beings to see with less nervous as we'll as less physical strain. it is not good lighting.
 In many years of experimenting. light scientists have proved that light stimulates every form of human activity and that measurable nervous tension results from improper lighting. They have found also what constitutes good lighting and what is4bad. Some scientific progress is accepted slowly by the general public. In the mat ter of lighting it is usually eager to keep up with the newest developments. No one today insists on oil lamps or gas jets who can have electric lights. Every new home or office building or factory these days is given up-fo-date lighting equipment as a matter of course. From now on there should be less eye strain and more comfort and health in reading or doing any work indoors with artificial light.

New Haven has placed ban on West Rock climbers. Boys have caused the police and park authorities a good deal of worry and work this year. Any number have es- saved to scale the well known cliffs but without much success. Several boys had to be removed from the face of the cliff by members of the police and fire departments. In addition there have been number of fatalities and many injured in expeditions up and down the famous West Rock. The head of the park department has issued or ders to all employes to report to the police any time they see anybody climbing up the cliff. We should think the accidents would keep people, especially youngsters away from the perilous spot

The Bureau of Roadside Development which is d branch of the Connecticut High way Department has been doing some won- derful work since its inauguration some few years ago. We can thank this department for the many miles of landseaped highway that this state now boasts Of course the natural beauty of our roadndes has aided in many places. but there are other stretches that would be barren to-day were it not for the good work of the roadside develop. ment bureau. The nearest example of it's work now going on is between Whites Corners and Four Corners. Middebury. An artistic stone bridge is being constructed by the side of the road which will permit motorists to stop. walk across into shady grove and enjoy midday Of late afternoon meal. Last year the state improved this sec- ton of highway with shrubbery. And there are many more similar examples of this work on highways leading into this city. Down below Naugatuek there are several turn-outs provided with picnic tables and cans for re. fuse. Too often people don't realize the work that the state has done in this respect They take it for granted that trees grow by the wayside. that shrubbery bears blossoms etc. Generally they are part of a well-or- dained scheme of planting. Look them over more carefully on your next trip.

keynoting, perhaps the same eve. ming. If 1t hasn't been done In the afternoon, the roll of states is called for each delegation's mem Der to each of the six committees, chief of which are those on resolu- tions fplatform), chedentials, rules and permanent organization.
 The second day begins with rem dition of the Star-Spangled Ban- ner by some celebrated female singer and receipt of the creden. tiais committee report by the tenn. porary chairman. Sometimes a floor row then breaks out over which of one or more sets of con. testing delegates shall be seated.
 OFFICIAL AT LAST.
 At this point the convention is not yet "offciap' or permanent. It Is made up of temporary roll of delegates as approved by the national committee. But the com mitte on permanent organization follows the credentials committee with it's report and barring fight, the permanent chafrmaf1--1expect- cd to De House Leader Bert Enell for the republicans and Executive Chairman Jouett shouse for the democrats--takeB the chair. The convention then really begins.
 The committee on rules reports ---usuaity an unimportant function and the roll si called for the na- tional committee which will take office for the next four years at the end of the convention. Resolutions are made next. the most exciting of which is likely to authorize the na- tional committee to call another national convention in 1036.
 If the platform committee isn't ready to report distinguished member of the party may be asked to speak.
 With good luck, even a conven- ton where there's q lively. contest can get It's platform out of the way and nominating speeches started by the third day and . presidential nomination made by the fourth day, with the vice presi- dental nomination following imfrie- diately.

POLICING COUNTRY ROADS
(Meriden Journai)

Colonel Anthony Sunderland, state police commissioner, has been quoted as expressing . hope. that more state policemen would be added to his department as soon as conditions would permit. There are now 12b on the roll, including officers, and that is the limit al- lowed at present by law. It is said. Many of these are engaged in lin. cidentaw duties, the conmisSioner said. which leaves about men for active police work in the bar
 If he had more men the com- missi oner would use them to give better protection in rural com munities. As 1t Is, he has inaugu- rated a system of sending out two men for each of the nine barracks every night at Il o'clock to protect those persons living on the country roads, off the trunk lines. Each night the state is covered fairly well, he said, and the officers have been meeting with q fair degree Of success.
 Tine comm issioner's statements were informative and enlightening. Many people have been wondering no doubt what the state police have been doing lately beyond acting as Q highway motor patrol and run ming down arson suspects. In the latter activity they have not shown much brllliance around these parts
 Time was when the state police made frequent trips into cities ana towns and rounded up well-known vioiators and gambling house pro- prietors who seemed to be tni- fnune to local police pinches. There appears to be little of that work lately and the state force has be- come largely q motor vehicle agency. And in. that field 1t pre- sumab1y has been considerably re- Ileved by inspectors of the motor vehicle department. ~.
 Expansion of the state police might be good thing in order to further check unruly. autoists but city folks will hardly agree to efv- ing more free police protection to districts which refuse to establish something of Q system of their own.

"Muggsy" Retires

Our first recollection of John J. MeGraw fighting manager of the New York Giants baseball team for thirty years or more. was his nickname "Mugssy". It was used more frequently in the old days than of recent years when MeGraw's temperament was bit subdued and ailments had often removed him from the sdelines where he was such familiar figure. There will be many names that will be linked with baseball forever and the name of McGraw is certainly one of these. He was an immortal certainly in this field of sport.
 Nothing has so startled the baseball world in recent years as this announcement. The question is what will the Giants be with out MeGraw! Can they rise above the dynamic figure of the little Napoleon of baseball? His retirement was oceasioned. according to MeGraw's own statement, by illness. He has been sick on and of of recent years. So much so that his presence on the bench with his players was becoming rare indeed.
 His resignation as manager does not sever McGraw's relationship with baseball com pictely. He will still retain his financial interest in the company controlling the club. He will likewise act in an advisory capacity where illness does not prevent. However for the good of the nine he will turn the feins of management over to 'Bilr' Terry re.baseman of the team McGraw was al- ways a eolorful figure in baseball He was essentially a fighter and passed along the same line of conduct to his players He didn't believe in molly-eoddlng player nor could he stand for the easy familiarity between opposing teams. We'll always re- member John J. MeGraw. but mostly as ''Muggsy" MeGraw. That title was appro- psiately. his and is we think. a compliment

Once upon time it was the automobile that had supplanted the horse, Now it would seem as if it was the airplane. Cow boys out in Klamath Falls Oregon. are planning to use an airplane to round up 5000 wild horses They hope to frighten the animals into the lowlands by sweeping low over them. If the horses are at all wild we should think the strange roaring monster in the skies might scare them right out of the county and across several neigh boring states.

Good for the Governor

Thanks to his unabating interest in the subject of old age pensions Governor Will. bur L. Gross has finally secured mueh- needed financing for the commission author ized by the l93l Legislature to investigate this subject of social service reform. AL though over $30.000 would be required to make an adequate survey of the field of old age pensions and to prepare a fitting report to be filed with the l933 Legislature the governor has managed to have transferred 10 the commissions account the sum of S15.000. As a result Dr Royal V Meek cs of New Haven will resign his office on the commission and direct the work of con- dueting the survey.
 Undoubtedly the old age pension will fare better next year at the hands of the state government than ever before. We feel sure that its defeat last year was due primarily to the opposition of the Connecticut Manufae- turcrs Association. Whether this organization will continue to oppose or will modify it's stand is unknown to us We are inclined to. believe that it will fight against any old age pension measures just as fiercely as 1t has in the past. Much will depend upon the outcome of the fall elections. If the demo- crats increase their strength in both the house and the senate the chances of any old age pension measure passing will naturally increase. It was republican legislators who furnished the opposition in l93l.
 However. the old age pension should not be ranked as a partisan measure. !t has both republican and democratic support. as well as opposition from both parties. And we don't expect to see this state committed to any old age pension plan without the idea being sound and practical. What form t will take no doubt. will depend to great extent upon the investigations of Dr Meeker. 1t will be his task to classify all existing forms of old age pension as adopted by v'f-
 ous states and by foreign countries His :. recommendations will be tempered by con- ditions in Connecticut and perhaps by re- suits in New York state which has enjoyed an old age pension law for several years now. We aren't going 10 enter this blindly. But we are glad to see that some money is available for the obtaining of the neees- ssry data that must precede adoption of any law It is high time that Connecticut quit playing politics with the old age pension.

Sabatini Spins Another Bright Yarn of Piracy
by BRUCE CATION

Probably there 5s . lurking de- sire to be c pirate hidden in every man, somewhere.
 Maybe it's because we were all brought up on Treasure 1siand," and maybe 1t is because we're just naturally given to admiration of sinful men; whatever the rea- son, a good tale or piracy 1s some. thing very few of us can resist.
 All of this is just by way of leading up to the fact that Rafael sabatini's new novel, "The Black swan," is good, straighaway story of piracy on the span- ish Main. Need I say more? :
 The story opens with girl named Priscilla travelling back to England from the West Indies on Q merchant ship, accompanied by one Major Sands, an ardent but somewhat stupid suitor. As soon as the swarthy, handsome Mon- ' sleur dc Bernis boards the vessel, you know this Major Sands isn't goin gto get anywhere at ali; for dc Bernfs used to bc buccaneer, and has lately been in the service of Sir Henry Morgan, and what infantry officer would have A chance against anything like that?
 And presently their ship Is cap. tured by the infamous Tom Leach, a. foul pirate as ever scuttled \ ship; and dc Bernis saves himself and Major Sands from death, and Priscilla from an infinitely worse fate, by, means of . willy strate. gem, and . little later he runs Pi- rate Leach through with his swords, and the kings ships come and rescue them, and everybody but Major Sands, who is jealous, lives happily ever after.
 Of course, you can see all of this coming. But who cares? sabatini. ana i have . wsakness for both.
 "The Black Swan" is pubiished by the Houghton, Mifflin Company and costs S2.
