Our Official Bird

The New York Times recently listed the official birds of all states that have made such selections. Only four states - Con- necticut one of them have thus far failed to make choice. Iowa. New Jersey, and Tennessee were the other states said to be minus bird of their choice. In our own case it isn't quite true that we didn't pick out a state bird. It comes back to us that some organizations conducted poll or sur rose-breasted grosbeak had been chosen to represent this state. Now the rose-breasted grosbeak is beautiful bird, perhaps the most beautiful of its species. although the cardinal birds more brilliant plumage attracts many.
 Still we probably think as did our Leg islature. for it did not agree that the rose- breasted grosbeak should be the state bird. The measure failed of passage. We can't recall that it even got beyond committee, if it got that far. Two years from now per- haps another attempt will be made to desig- nate state bird but perhaps by that time there will be another candidate for the honor. We certainly never could show much enthu- siasm over the choice that was ours. Of course. we would have been the only state picking the breasted grosbeak. but that does add weight to the argument.
 As we understand it an official bird should be picked for several reasons. It must not be merely beautiful (which most birds are). but it must possess pleasing song or series of notes and in some way it must have definite connection with the stste of its choice. The sparrow. robin. bluebird and the like were cast aside no doubt because they weren't distinctive enough. Utah picked the gull because in l848 gulls saved Utah crops from destrue- ton by insects Alabama took the flicker. sometimes known as the yellow hammer. It's troops were yellow hammers in the Civil War.
 Why not the woodpecker for Connecti- cut? It's typical of the industry of the state if anyone has ever watched one of these hard headed fellows at work. Other than that its appearance is pleasing and that the rat-tat-tat of its machine-gun bill might be likened to the pounding of factory wheels we can't show many recommendations. But then it's hard to say much for our numerous birds other than in general praise of them. As long as we pick an official one agreeable all. our record will be complete.

Will He Or Won't He?

It is reported through the medium Of state newspapers that former U. s. Senator Hiram A. Bingham is out of politics. so far as seeking public office is concerned. He IS not going to attempt come back, according to the reports from Salem where the former legislator is planning to make his legal res- idenee. Incidentally, Mir Bingham is back to the Connecticut town where he was first a voter of this state. He moved from Salem to New Haven when he joined the staff of the Yale university. Now he's back where he started the climb to political fame and apparently not one whit displeased with the situation.
 It is hard to see just how Mir Bingham would force his way back into the lmeight in Connecticut at some future date. By that we are not discounting his worth to the party at Washington. After somewhat shaky start he managed to win for himself reputation that today stands and which is of such degree that oftentimes we wonder just how he was actually defeated last fall. Of course the explanation is simple to some people who claim to know just which way the voters were swinging last fall. They must know for what they now claim came true. However, there weren't many showing how the results would go before the votes were cast
 At one time Mir Bingham was mentioned as a possible opponent for Rep Francis T. kH.Ioaou ;a tbo third rooorpcc0na1 dictrirt But that fiekered out rapidly. Then there was talk of substituting him for our con- gressman -at- large. another Yale professor. Charles M. Bakewell. That didn't catch popular fancy either. Then it was sug- gested that perhaps when Senator Walcott's term expired in l935 he might not care to go back to Washington. But Senator Wal colt doesn't seem a bit disposed this way So by the process of elimination MT Bing- ham seems left in his now private status.
 And unless the present state g. 0. p. or g1rization changes its mind overnight we don't see any coming change in that status. With the chairman, J. Henry Roraback. contemplating retirement there won't be anybody to push Mir Bingham back up the ladder. He'll find the competition at home tougher today than it was few years back when he wa. singled out so rapidly for pro- motion. He'll have to find his strength at Washington and with the democrats in con- tYol that naturally is slim. No. it looks to us. as if the ex-senator would have to resign himself to the tranquil existence of Salem. And maybe he'll enjoy that much better than he did the charged atmosphere of Washington.

Bicycle Recovery

The bicycle. which passed from extreme popularity to period of comparative oblivion. seems now to be coming into an era of even greater use. In Washington. D. C.. it is said, hundreds of residents use the bike for both business and pleasure. So widespread has the fad become that department store has installed specially constructed bicycle parking rack for patrons. A distributing concern says it has shipped more bicycles thus far this year than in any year in its history. Many bicycle factories, not very busy only few months or year ago. are working full time now.
 It wouldn't be complete return if there were no tandems in the present revival. But the :'bicycle built for two" has come back also, and enthusiasts rent such vehicles by the hour. The bicycle isn't supplanting the automobile. It seems to be in demand with people who wouldn't operate cars anyhow, as well as with those who have cars but want the bicycle for short distances or for recreation. The revival of the bicycle is not confined to Washington. It. is national. Perhaps Americans began to remember how pleasant and useful the eontraption was when they began to travel lot and saw people using it as much as ever in many Old World countries

RETIREMENT JUSTIFIED
Bridgeport Times-starl

 So far as Harry Mackenzie's ac- conplishments for Fairfield county are concerned, there may be many people who will welcome the announcement from hip that he plans to retire as titular head of the republican county organiza- ton, and that he has decided upoG Judge J. Kenneth Bradley of Vest port as his successor.
 A good many people might be omved to hope, vainly of course, that MT Mackenzie is planning to remove his influence from republi- can politics in Fairfield county.
 During Mir Mackenzie's period of influence and power with the gov- ernment of the state. of Connecti- cut, he has done little for his own county. Confronted with @ de- mand for the. development of Sher- wood Island park for the benefit of the people of the county, he countSred with two odious propos- als which public opinion prompt- ly killed.
 Faced with the opportunity of securing for the county 8 due share of what 1t pays in gasoline taxes, he allowed upstate politi- clans to sidetrack the Merritt High way year after year. In the 1893 session. he, was. good enough to propose. through one of his legis- lative henchmen, that his own DO. litical machine takes over the job of spending $15,000,000 on the road. The amount of money was all right, but the county didn't like the way it was to be expended.
 When he says he is retiring, a good many Fairfield county re- publicans probably wish that he really meant it..

Is Europe Headed For War?

Henry Morgenfhau. Ameriean delegate to the international wheat conference. reports that Europe is bristling with arms and ssethins with the spirit of war. The fear of war. he said. was hanging over every European delegate at the conference. and this was one of the reasons no agreement for limiting wheat production could be reached: the nations wanted to raise and store grain for use in event of war. France. he pointed out, had subsidized wheat grow CTS. Mir Morgenthau has had much diplo- matic experience and is keen observer. Europe undoubtedly is armed to the hilt. as he says. and is filled with international suspicious and jealousies. but there have been some evidences that the war spirit was less prevalent than last spring when Presi- dent Roosevelt issued his memorable ad- dress to 54 nations warning of the danger of war.
 For one thing. Soviet Russia during the economic conference signed a series of non- aggression pacts with nations along its southern borders. which it has been gener- ally believed will greatly. minimize the dam gers of trouble. and do much toward de- stroying the fear of the smaller nations. Mussolni's four-power peace pact. signed by his own country. France. Britain and Germany. pledging those nations not to en- gage in offensive war. is in effect. The Hitler government of Germany has shown dspo- sition to be more conciliatory in its foreign relations and tension between Germany and France seems to have eased in some degree.
 At present negotiations are in progress looking to the formation of a Danubian pact which would do much to eliminate the friction between France and Italy. Czecho- slovakia, Jugoslavia, Rumania. Hungary. Austria and Italy. would be signatories to treaty covering economic and political issues, which would open the way for recovery of the Danubian states. France. while not a party to the negotiations. has given her consent. necessary because of her influence over the smaller states. All in all. at least some improvement in international relations has been brought about. even if the situa- ton is loaded with danger. as Mir Morgen- thau points out.

A Book a Day bv BRUCE CATION

"Instead of Dictatorship, py Henry Haziitt, proposes one of the most far-reaching political re" forms ever suggested in this coun- fry: and if, as I suspect, 1t will win few converts, it at least Is quali- fled to serve the very useful pur- nose of stirring up a lot of whole some discussion.
 MT Hazlitt points, first of all, to the unacceptable fact that our present form of federal govern- ment is exceedingly clumsy and inefficient. But he does not be- lieve that these faults are 'inher- ent in democracy itself; they arise, he says, simply because our gov- ernmental framework creates them
 In place of president and con- gress, MT Hazlitt would have a national council of 12 legislators, chosen at large by proportional representation.
 if any candidate got more than half the first-choice votes, he would be president; if not, the council would elect one of It's own number president. The right of veto would be greatly modified. All hands would stand Tor re- election every two years.
 All of this may not appeal to you very greatly. But it does pro- yoke thought about the funda- mentals of our government, and for that reason 1t seems to me to be a useful, as well as readable, little article.
 It is one of the John Day com pany's 25-cent pamphlets.

Madrid Letter

MANUFACTURERS latest in- formation about the situation be- tween the church and the state in Spain is contained in Pastoral Letter by Archbishop Don Isidro Coma Tomas, of Toledo. primate of Spain, which deals at length with what he terms the "seriousness of the present hour"
 A Real Vivisection
 "We are going through moments of the gravest perturbation" states the archbishop; "the revolution has not only officially expelled God from our mother country, but it's declaration of legal secularism has cut to pieces this centennial frame which was the bearing and social factor of christian life in Spain: monopoly of teaching. suppression of public worship, or nearly, re- fusal to subsidize Gods ministers. secularization of life and death. etc. It is real vivisection that has been done in the nations body. reaching with the knife of law its inmost recess, which is religion" ,.
 Archbishop Coma charges it as an enormous, mistake in social life to make use of power to disturb the. spiritual life, and warns this is bound to have repercussions not only in political, but in all other aspects. "Even economically" he writes, "--and to prove it, look at Russia: Russia, without God. and without bread; and without bread because bread was refused to God. whose elimination increased the fight of classes which makes im-

Book Padding

Book readers are growing impatient again with the publishers habit of making books bulky, regardless of the number of words or the readers comfort. One particularly fla grant example is recent biography The type is large. The margins are excessive, so there is little reading matter on page. Between two chapters there are three pages that contain one line of print A book which ought to have taken 100 or l5O pages at the most sprawls over 200 pages. It makes an unwieldy volume.
 Real book lovers, those who make com panions of books and who like to keep one handy for reading at odd moments, prefer small books. easy to carry in the hand or even in a pocket, and not tring to hold. They like books that may be comfortably read in an easy chair or while lying down. They like books which do not crowd their tables and book shelves too much. for space is important when an apartment is small and the craving for books is large.
 The reader, in addition to finding an unnecessarily weghty volume an inconven- fence, is inclined to view it with suspicion. It certainly suggests the intent to make book seem to contain more or be worth more. If the publishers go in for code of some sort. readers hope it will include an agreement to stop this senseless padding.

Law.Abiding Louisiana
 Just before Senator Huey Long had to dash to Louisiana to deal with election fraud troubles, he was around Attorney Genearl Homer Cummings office, boast ing: Look at Louisiana. There's no crime wave there. We have no kidnapers!"
 Johnson's Moods
 Administrator Hugh Johnson of MIRA displayed three contrasting moods in three days of coal strike negotiations.
 At Harrisburg he said: God help the man or group of men who stand against this drive"
 At Washington, after a day of deadlock: 1T stuck my nose into something that was none of my business and got what was coming to me-"
 Finally victorious, he emerged from his office grinning, almost giggling. He laughed as he played through group of newspapermen. insisting: Not going to tell you g damn thing. The president will give it out"
 But he was too happy not to re- lent. He finally said to a few per- sistent ones: "Well, if it'll help you any. I'll tell you confidential ly." And he did.

Windsor is displaying some tsmerity in its advertisements for its forthcoming ter- centenary celebration. It has prepared signs declaring that Windsor is the first English settlement in Connecticut. The celebration is scheduled for September g. 24, 25. and 26. We know that before these dates arrive there will be an outburst from Wethersheld which is Windsor's chief rival for the honors as the first English settlement in the stAte However. there will be plenty of interest in the Windsor observance as it really heralds the beginning of the states tercentenary. Regardless of the dispute between the two towns it is established that Connecticut is 300 years old and hence a cause for shouting is at hand. If that in- eludes friendly town dispute over first honors who are we to say the disputants nay?

CHILD LABOR IN DOMESTIC
 SERVICE
(Hartford Courant)

Forty thousand domestic work CTS in the United States, according to the census of 1880, are less than sixteen years of age. Probably the number of girls doing housework for their living has increased since then. That is certainly the deduc- tion to be drawn from the report of the Junior Placement Division of the New York state labor de- partment that in the year ending March 1. 1880, per cent of the jobs for girls of fourteen to sixteen were housework jobs. while in the year ending March 1, 1883, 79 per cent of the jobs were housework jobs.
 In almost every residential dis trict the popularity of "mother's helpers" has grown with nara times. This movement might prove a blessing to the poorer homes where a growing girl would be proud and happy to earn her meals and a small sum to add to the fam- fly exchquer. if only the amount and the type of work expected of these girls were really what a mother might expect in the way of assistance from a daughter Of her own of similar age. But far from limiting the helpers work to light jobs, like minding the baby. set ting the table, wiping the dishes and dusting, many of the girls re- port that thev are expected to do all the general housework and even the washing of bed clothes and the scrubbing of floors. Some of them say also that they have no privacy, just cot put in the chill .dren's room or even in the sitting room. Often there is no pay: the girl is working for "a good home" or if there Is pay. it is often as It, tie as $1O or $15 a month.
 In London a child who works under such conditions has a special name, the derivation of which is obvious. She Is called slavey, and in literature usually is 2. slatternly young thing, often scrawney, deceitful and thieving. Her condi- tion certainly makes her what she is. It is no better than that Of her sister who tolls in a sweatshop. Yet for these youngsters in the needle trades there is to be a new. deal through the codes which their em- ployers have adopted, while for the mothers helper, the little house. hold drudge. there remains only

GARDENERS ISLAND.

(New Haven Register)
 Historians and romancers alike of these parts will have their memories logged by the death of Johnathan Gardiner, of the Gar diners of Gardiner's Island. For nearly three centuries the ten-miie- long island down in the races opp posite the eastern coast of Con- necticut has passed from member of the family. And as it passes once more there is recalled that para graph on the founding of the es- tate, which reads thus in part from the family Bible of the first white owner of the Island: "In the year 1885, the tenth day of July, came |, Lion Gardiner and Mary. my wife, from Woden, Holland. ]. and then Gin 1636) I went to an island of my own, which I bought off the Indians, called by them Manchonock; by us the Isle of Weight" Isle of Wight 1t was until two generations ago, when 1t took the name of the family.
