 Last evening Springfield, Mass, held tho greatest peace time dem. onstration in It's history. Hartford has already staged It's NRA parade and other cities of the state are planning similar observances:
 Reports from all veterans or ganizations indicate that the Arm istice day parade will witness the biggest turn out of cx.service men since the eventful ArmiBtice day of 1918. Sensing the spirit Of the timcs and the great public interest that is being manifested the Arm. istice day committee has suggested to NRA officials that all Waterbury should turn out and celebrate not only Armistice day but reafflrm It's confidence in the community, in America and President Roosevelt.

 Washington, Oct. IS - (UP) - The American Federation of Lab 'or's annual convention drew to on end today with only few contro- versial snatters remaining to be settled and with the conservative clement firmly in control.
 The executive council, headed by William Green, as president, was swept back into office by unani- nous votes.
 The younger, so-called progress sive element within the federation, while defeated in all efforts to drive Q wedge into the inner coun' ciis, seemed satisfied that they made progress during tho meeting. A number of them privately de- clared their intention to return home and continue efforts to do- velop strength and support for their policies.

Everyday Psychology
sY DR.. JESSE W. srRowLs.
Telepathic Dreams.

Literally thousands OF persons will
tell you that they have dreamed of
happenings which they later found to
be true. For example, woman during
the war dreamed" that her soldier son
was wounded on the field of battle. A
few days later she received message
to the same effect.
Now do these things really happen?
Do individuals sometimes have tele-
pathic dreams? So far as 1 know, no
reputable psychologist would say that
there Is any such thing as a telepathic
dream.
1t is conceivable that an event and
a dream which corresponds fairly well
with the event may occur at the same
time. You may speak of them as a
coincidence.
Both the dream and the event are
products of natural laws. The so-called
telepathic dreams are usually caused
by anxieties. You may be subcon-
sciously thinking about something dur
ing the day, weighing its possibilities

from the days subconscious thinking
may appear consciously in the form of
a dream.
If what you have first been subcon-
sciously turning over in your mind and
dream about happens to coincide with
what later h-rpens, you are convinced
that you had vision" The dream
had nothing to do with the coincidence
except that it was the bridge between
what you were subconsciously thinking
about and what later was found tc be

Cooking Leaf Vegetables

do not separate leaves. Tie tops to-
gether to prevent leaves separating. Put
in a -bottomed saucepan partly
filled with boiling hot soup stock, or
If YOU have no stock water can be used.
Put lettuce root side down in the pan.
The liquid should not cover tops of
lettuce. Put tightly fitting lid on the
pan and set over slow heat which
will keep the liquid just simmering.
Simmer until lettuce is soft and tender
to the heart. Remove carefully and
turn upside down to drain in colander.
Mix a tablespoonful or more of flour,
according to the quantity of liquid re-
manning in the pan, with little cold
water until smooth and add to the
boiling liquid to make 1t the consist
ency of white sauce. Season well with
SALT pepper and celery salt. Pour the
mixture slowly over tablespoonful or
more of butter, stirring constantly. and
then over the lettuce right side up now
on a hot platter or shallow vegetable
dish The lettuce should be kept hot
while making the sauce. Some persons
like a few drops of lemon juice added
to the sauce to give zest. while others
like it much better without the acid
Spinach With Cheese.-Wash spin
ach through many waters to free 1t

covered saucepan without extra water
as sufficient will drain from the wet
leaves to cook the spinach in. After 10
minutes steaming sprinkle the leaves
well with salt and stir to prevent stick
ing to pan Continue cooking for or
10 minutes longer, according to size and
tenderness of leaves. Melt one and
one-half or two tablespoonfuls of but
ter in saucepan. the amount varying
with the quantity of spinach cooked.
Stir in one tablespoonful of -four. or
little more for larger quantity Of butter,
add salt and pepper, and thin with

Chop the spinach, pile in vegetable
dish and over it pour the sauce. Cover
the top with layer of finely grated
cheese and set under the flame to
brown delicately. Serve Immediately.

grueling grind than they have since
President Roosevelt's Inauguration.
It's beginning to tell, too. Almost
daily there is some occurrence indlca-
tive of the state of things.
For one thing, there are signs that
the so-called honeymoon" period of
the administration is over. There has
been lost to the President some of the
continuous and enthusiastic applause
that so characterized his first few weeks
in Office.
Republicans have steeled themselves
to put up a fight against some OF his
proposals. They were singularly quiet
at first. The state of the country ap-
peared to call for political truce.
There are other evidences OF the de-
velopment of a more critical attitude
toward persons and acts connected with
the administration. Thus man de-
scribed as being the closest of all to the
President is hailed before congressional
committee In an investigation of the
purchase of kits supplied the reforesta-
ton corps.
A Republican Senator openly de-
mands the resignation of Secretary
Woodin of the Treasury Department
and declares that if he doesn't resign
it is the duty of the Senate to impeach
him. Democratic leaders reply and the
Senate is thrown into a stormy debate
that injects bitter personal attacks.
A major Senate committeeman OF
banking and currency-is criticized by
a Republican Senator who dislikes the
secrecy" with which it is conducting
the Morgan investigation.
And so on. There are unmistakable
signs of irritation on all sides. They
are bound to increase SO long as the
present pace is continued.

~ EFORE people knew much about
- the subject, they looked upon a
rainbow as "a great mystery"
- 1t is easy to see why the COM
ing of colors INTO the sky should
puzzle those who we're watching. They
might look UP and see a golden sun or
a blue sky or gray clouds, or all three
together-but what could produce a
brilliant band of colors, including violet,
blue, green. yellow, orange and red?
The golden sun supplied the colorsl
Sunlight has within itself all the colors
of the rainbow
Usually sunlight comes to us in COM
plete form, and We may call it white
or "yellowish-white'; but when it shines
through rain, the rays may be divided
in such manner as to form different
colors.
If you like, you may make your own
rainbow. On bright dag, point gar
den hose upward. and send forth
spray of water. Turn your back to the
sun, and let the water fall in front of
you. If you adjust your hose SO that
the water comes out in fine spray,
and if you spread the spray by moving
the nozzle a little, you should be able
to produce a rainbow right above your
u. L
ers have done it. and I feel confident
that after a trial or two you will sue
ceed in doing it.
There is another way to make rain
bow colors. and oddly enough this
method does not require rain. History
gives credit for its discovery to Isaac
Newton the famous English scientist
who was born in 1912.
Newton is known for his work on the
theory of gravity: but he also made tests
in other fields. One day he held glass
prism in such way that sunlight would
/ pass from one side to another. The
! result was that the rays were spread
| far apart and formed rainbow colors on
| the wall of the room in which he was
standing!
Newton was not able to explain the
event. He did not know what we know

to put the same kind on one side be-

The Old Gardener Says:

Many of the hundreds of new
rock gardens, made this year, are
disappointing now because of the
lack of bloom. Alpines and 9TH
er typical rock garden plants
need a year or two to become
established and to make a credit
able appearance. In the mean
time the garden maker may well
console himself with ANIMALS,
some of which do not look at all
out of place in rock garden.
Naturally, only low-growing kinds
should be chosen, and those with
heavy foliage should be avoided.
Very good kinds include the
dainty annual baby's breath, the
dwarf annual lupin, Drummond's
phlox, portulacas, statice sinuata.
silene armeria, California pop
pies, annual fax, alyssum mariti-
mum and asperula orientalis. All
these can be grown with perfect
ease Probably the best way to
use the seeds is to sow them
broadcast, allowing the plants to
come up wherever they may. This
gives a very natural effect and
fine color.
