Here, There And Everywhere
IN CONNECTICUT
(New Haven Register)

Federal census figures on illit- eracy among Connecticut's for eign-born residents show that out of every 100 persons more than ten years old 92 have learned to speak English. On it's face that sounds rather good. But the fig ures go on to show that this Is a low record, that only four states, New Hampshire. Rhode Is- land, Pennsylvania and Florida have a lower rating.
 That is likely to vive an unde- served impression that this state has been lax in breaking it's adopted residents into English, that it has been laggard in pro- noting literacy standards. Other factors besides mere compari- son of state totals figure in the question.
 For one thing 1t Is known that nationality has good deal to do with the rate at which the new land language is picked up. Ma tives or the Norde countries are particularly notable for language acquisitiveness. Naturally the states favored most with emil grants from other countries would show up less well in state-by- state comparison.
 The number of foreign-born residents which the community has to teach also has a distinct connection with the case when it comes to rating states activity and it's performance of its duties. As the number of foreign-born residents goes up in comparison to its native population, naturally 50 also must go up the size of the task of education. Thus a state that has a ten per cent for eign-born population can rate 2 good deal higher in actual work done and obligation assumed by the native population than one

 The Institute of American Meat Packers. whose offices are in Chi cago, sends it's approval of the sugpestion to popularize the word frank" short for "frankfurter," in the plan to eliminate in Con- necticut and New England those disgusting "hot dawg" signs that do make a difference in ones ap- netite" as one woman in the cir culation department of large New York daily newspaper puts it, adding.

The Epic Of
 Old Hickory

There were giants on the earth in the old days, and one or them was a long, fiery-tempered, 1ndom- itable frontiersman named Andre" Jackson, who swore great oaths. fought valiantly and became one of the sturdiest- Americans in all his tory, You can read about him Tn Andrew Jackson, the Border Cap tain." by Marquie James, and you'n find 1t as fascinating biog- raphy as you've read In iong' long time. ,..
 MT James does not conduct his hero to the White House. His book carries its account of Jacksons life up to 1923 and then stops. It is, as the title suggests, the story of his activity as a border captain; to learn of his presidential career you must go elsewhere.
 But what a story the pre-presi- dential career makes!
 Orphaned in early youth, serving in the Revolutionary war as lad of 13 or IA, seeking his fortune in the Tennessee valley with the ear Hest of pioneers, smiting the ln- dians nightly. fighting duels, run ming a racing stable, building up the government anu peCoinihS 'thI mouthpiece for the turbulent and self-assertive new west - Jackson was a unique figure and a mighty one.
 He seems, among other things. to have been a first-rate military leader. MT James describes his campaigns in detail - his blows against the Creek confederacy. his giamorous New Orleans campaign against the British, his slightly premature seizure of Florida-and leaves one wondering what history would be like if Jackson had led an expedition against Quebec in 1872, as he wished to.

DOWN IN MAINE
(IIartford Courant)

The country has cause for amazement as it learns that Maine. the pioneer state in the matter of outlawing the use of intoxicants, has now an act 1egalizing the sale of beer. Its legislature lost no time in legalizing the sale of malt bev- erages when the national edict was lifted, and the legislators expedited the measure to the governors of- flee, where it was promptly signed. In short, Maine has left it's front seat in the water wagon, and ona wonders that the earth did not swallow 1t up as it did Korah. Da- than and Abiram. The day after the bill was signed a resident of New York notified the Maine Publicity Bureau that now that your State has passed bees bill I intend to spend two months there this summer" That. we as. sume, is one of the rewards of in. iquity, though not precisely the one that supporters of prohibition will approve. And, now that it ie all over, we are free to wonder just how dry Maine has been.

Strange as 1t may seem. there is some n- terest in 3.2 per cent wine in this nation, We wouldn't have believed it possible, for wines naturally arrive at higher alcoholic contents than the scanty one above by pro- cesses over which man has little or no con- trol, namely, fermentation. Commissioner James H. Doran of the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol has announced that temporary per mlts will be issued to those wine makers who now hold permits for bonded wineries. He said that Pending the issuance of regu- lations, winemaker now holding permit to operate bonded winery and desiring to produce, bottle and sell wine of the above stated alcoholic limitations on his present
 bonded wine premises may upon application in writing be granted temporary permit therefor ' Mouquins. perhaps the most famous wine dealers in the nations before prohibition. declare that they are doing bus mess m the new beverage. Of course, it isn't possible to produce wine of as little alco- holic strength as that demanded by the law. This must be done by distilation and of such d nature that the wine will not increase it's strength with age. Congress will be we'll advised fl it shortly advances the legal alco- hollc eonten, of wines to 70 or l 2 per cent

New York state is trying to make legal condition that has existed covertly for many years. In other words betting at horse-races at the various state tracks may be legalized. Betting is now engaged in at all the tracks. Saratoga, Empire State, and Belmont with out actual money passing hands at them. It always will be wherever horses are raced. It's too old a custom to die even though banned by law. New York might as well share in this means of revenue.

Others call 1t God. "A mist on the far horizon, The tender. infinite sky, The rich, ripe tints of the corn-

 And the wild geese sailing by; And all over lowland and upland The charm of the goldenrod, Some of us call it Autumn, Others call it God. Like waves on crescent sea
 beach,
 When the moon is new and thin, Into our souls great yearning
 come.
 Yelling and surging in; Come from the mystic ocean, Whose rim no foot hath tFod, Some of us call it longing, Others call 1t God. "A picket frozen on duty, A mother starved for her brood. Socrates drinking the hemlock, And Jesus on the rood; And thousands who, humble and
