In some kind of electrical affinity
From which they cannot escape,
Eternally just being what they are.
Then the other day scientist with
a million volt shot
And doubled-up microscopic photo
graph,
Tried to shoot an atom to pieces.
And he got picture which his as
sociates agree upon.
Now they say there are three kinds
of force particles dancing around in
side of the atom.
Well, that is all right as long as
they keep it inside of the lab.
But outside in the world
So far as we know
Everything solid that we can see,
and hear and smell,
Is made of matter.
And matter is made up of atoms.
Now they want to tell me
That everytime / pick up a grain
of sand,
I've got mess of jumping jelli-
kums of some kind;
That the whole of it is in motion
every instant;
That there are millions of atoms in
the sand;
And it's electrical energies are un-
so far.
Gee 1t makes me afraid to touch
myself!
must have few electric charges
of my own.

MORRIS HILLQUIT
CALLED
Expression of Sorrow VOic-
ed BY A. F. L. Convention

New York City (ILNS)-Morris
Hillquit, world-famous lawyer, author
and socialist leader, died here at his
home on October 7. He was Ga years
old, Hillquit was attorney for the In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers
Union and other needle trades labor
organizations. He took part in many
important labor cases and was active
in the big garment workers strike of
1909. He was noted for his many
debates on socialism, having debated
Samuel Gompers, Matthew Woll and
other labor leaders.
Mr.. Hillquit ran for mayor of New
York twice, receiving in 1882 the
largest vote ever cast for socialist
in this city. He was national chair
man of the socialist party and rec
orgnized as the partys leading think
er and theoretician.
Born in Riga, Latvia, he came to
this country in 1886.
Expressions of sorrow on the death
of Hillquit were received from Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Gov. Lehman and
other leaders in civic life. The Amer
lean Federation of Labor convention
in Washington adopted resolutions
voicing grief and saying that Hillquit
had necessarily championed the bat
tie of the wage earners for higher
standards of living"

LABOR POLITICAL
PARTY TAB0OED

Windsor, Ont. (ILNS)-The Trades
and Labor Congress of Canada, at its
annual convention here, turned down
a resolution urging affliation with
the Canadian COOPERATIVE Common
wealth, new political party of farm
ers and workers, though it was warm
ly supported by some of the delegates.
The position taken by the congress
was that being the legislative mouth
piece of the organized workers, it
had to do with governments, and,
that it would not have a free hand
to promote the legislative interests
of labor, if it was linked up with any
political party.

The banana Is large plant rather

sprouts or suckers which, in the COM

these shoots have attained height
of three feet or so and transplanted.
The banana begins to bloom In about
two years after being established. The
flower bud Is large heart-shaped for

blossoms-from which a bunch con-
tanning as many bananas will grow.
The plant grows from 10 to 40 feet

dies down. to be replaced by the
sprouts, two or three OF which are

There are many varieties Of the ba.
mana plant and all quite similar In
appearance and habit. The variety
most commonly cultivated is known as
the Martinique. The red variety is
the baracoa or Red Jamaica.
In spite Of these West Indian names,
the banana plant Is not thought to be
a native of America. 1t Ia thought to

One Of the most important things in
the making Of film is--a pair Of scis-

Is photographed three or four times,
and from two or three angles. The
film editor (the cutter) has to sort the
scenes out. He has to use the best
ones, make "close-ups" balance with
"long Shots" and make the story run.
smoothly. The physical part of his
job consists Of welding his scissors
with skill, and keeping the scenes
short. he sees the fllm through

1t is old stuff.
1t was entirely theoretical,
Largely metaphysical or philoso-
phical.
The younger laboratory fellows had
tendency to snicker at it.
Those fellows are always irrever-
ent, anyway.
So they magnifed some micro
scopes;
And they photographed photogra-
ply in action;
And supercharged some electric
currents;
And built up formulae of what
might happen
For some idea of what to watch
for
And caught snap shots of some
thing entirely new.
They busted right into a new era
of physics!
Those pictures were impossible if
the atom was solid matter;
For the darn thing was full of
motion.
1t was seething with energy and
force.
From the glimpses which the labor
atories have afforded
The physicists thought there must
be two centers of force in the atom
Two moving centers, Of which one
was positive, and the other neutral,

THIRTY-HOUR
Week For Auto Parts Indus
try Asked By Green

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-"A
drastic reduction in working hours"
in automobile parts and equipment
manufacturing plants was asked by
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor at a
hearing on code for the industry.
Green declared that unless the
maximum work week was fixed at 80
hours there could be no adequate res
storation of employment He asked
higher wages and also took exception
to the merit clause that is identical
with that in the automobile manufac-
turers' code.
Earlier a demand that the merit
clouse be sustained was made by C.
C. Carleton, executive vice president
of the Automobile Parts and Equip
ment Manufacturers, which submitted
the code.
He charged that if the administra-
tion refused to include this clause, it
would be in the position of having
granted special privilege to the
automobile manufacturers" Under
this provision, employees can be adj
vanced or otherwise or merit regard
less of union affiliation.
The manufacturers asked basic

the recent increase in prices of crude
oil under the NRA code will reach
$450,000,000 annually, which is a
boost of about 3315 per cent over re-
cent prices. 1t is believed that those
who own and control the oil industry
will be able to realize reasonable prof

The increased cost of labor under
the code to the oil industry, both d.
rectly and indicetly, are estimated at
$50, 1000, 900 yearly.

Truths POndered While

your brother man"
BY Mr.. MOdestus-
They are analvzing atoms now.

They are analyzing atoms now.
The atom formerly had the honor
of being the ultimate unit of matter.
But the atom does not get away
with that any longer.
We thought an atom was indivis-
ible--
That perhaps it was something so
hard, SO ultimate,
That in it stood the eternal oppo-
site
Of omnipotent, irresistible force.
Matter, and Force
These stood in our thought as the
ultimates,
The Stuff and the Power,
OF which the worlds are made.
But that is all "out" now

the general exodus from the beaches. At any rate September, with 4.344 notices of changes of address. leads the year up to date. October, with 3.646, is second and August with 3,517 Is third.
 There have been as many as 27O notices received in ono day al- though the daily average is around a hundred. Considerable clerical work is involved in this apparently simple item. When tho change of address Is received temporary lic- ence certificate is sent to the in- torcsted party who returns the old certificate to the department. Upon receipt of this license new per- nanent certificate. is sent to tho operator and tho old one is des- troyed. Over the years the exper- fence of the department has been that these seeming details arc very important.
 Changing the color of ones car may not seem 8 matter of moment but, if you are stopped anywhere on the road and an officer checks your registration certificate. you will find that neglect to report the change of your cars appearance may involve much inconvenience to you and possible fine in court.
 Experience of years by the state and city police departments of Connecticut has caused the enact- ment of these motor vehicle laws which, to some. may appear like undue red tape but they were made laws to enable the police to com bat automobile thieves and crook dom in general.

The third and last of the Socratic Forums. held at the Second Con- gregational church on Sunday eve nings will take place on Sunday, November 12, at 8 o'clock. Mr Jensen, the organist of the church, cital prior to the opening of the forum.
 Among the speakers next Sunday will be, Major General Smedley D. Butler and Manley o. Hudson, Pro- lessor of international Law al Harvard, who will discuss q very different subject, but one that is extremely appropriate for next Sundays considerations, the ques. tion Should America Disarm?
 Perhaps no nation in the worid Is in as favorable Q position as the United States to tackle this burn- ing question with some degree of sanity. Because of our immunity from the paralysing fear of sudden invasion which Is the natural birth right of most countries, and be- cause our size and varied resources lit us to become self-silstaining more readily than the rest, we should be able to measure the height and the depth of this par ticular tangle with wider and truer rod. but we should in no way underestimate the influence which Americas decision must of neceS- sity exert among the civilized na- tions of the world.
 It is challenge no thinking man or woman can afford to dis regard, and on Armistice Day we shall have splendid opportunity to segregate in our own minds sem timent from sense-cupidity from caution.

Drivers Must Report
 Change Of Addresses
Neglect to Do So Carries Penalty-C Commissioner
 COnnOr Emphasizes Need of Doing So

During the first ten months of this year the state department of motor vehicles received 14,350 mo- tices of change of address from motor vehicle operators around the state. The rush on reporting ad- dress changes seems to start about June each year and continue for several months. The spring and winter months develop compara- lively light totals. This phase of the clerical work at tho state de- partment of motor vehicles is little known to tho general public al- though the operators change of address is very important for the departments records and, when not made within forty eight hours after the operator has moved, in- vites a penalty of ynot more than ten dollars. according to the mo- tor vehicle laws.
 In discussing the reporting of new addresses Commissioner Michael A. Connor invited attcn- tion to the fact that, during the fall when many road inspections are made of the mechanical equip ment of cars, the driver of a car or truck is always asked for his lic- eHSe ana tnc rcSlStrallOn or the car. If the inspector casually asks the operator for his address and it does not coincide with the ad- dress on the certificate then the operator is in trouble said the commissioner, "so it is very im- portant that all changes of address be reported promptly. The same requirement. is made regarding the change of appearance in one's car and is provided for by law because of past experience with lawbreak- CTS"
 Although May is generally re- garded as the popular moving month the records of the state de- partment of motor vehicles shows that September offers the largest total of reports. The commissioner believes the return of families from summer spent at the ~hore is one important reason for the September moving record, the theory being that homes are given up when many families go to the shore and new places sought to be occupied when Labor Day signals

Verne Miller, War HerO-Sheriff, On
 Last Crime Lap

Huron. s. D. - When a bullet or set of steel bracelets puts an end to the public career of Verne Mil- Ter, 1t will be the last roundup for boy who never seemed to get go- ing right after he returned in 1919 from the World War. Next to Pretty Boy Floyd. per- haps, the law wants Miller worse than it wants any other gunman. He's sought as the machine gun ner in the Kansas City massacre of last June, as participant in the Urschel Kidnapping, and as a gunman in several mail and bank robberies.
 Miller's trail has been getting hotter. The law just missed him November 2. when he shot his way out of trap at an apartment ho- tel in Chicago. The trail is getting narrower all the time.
 Miller came back from France in the spring of 1919 with decora- separated from him, keeps a boarding house here. She insists they were genuine decorations, too.
 He made friends easily, was ac- tive in organizing the American Legion post and the Kiwanis club. He was popular, and was elected sheriff on the republican ticket in 1920.
 Quick on Trigger
 He was good sheriff. A little hard-boiled, perhaps and little inclined to shoot first and think afterward.
 Con Huntley, the present sheriff here, recalls that Miller twice shot at cars which failed to halt on command after minor traffic viola tions. In the main though, Miller was a good sheriff. despite the fears of States Attorney Charles P. Warren that his quickness on the trigger might get the county into trouble.
 After all, Miller had been train- ed to guns at government expense. He went to the Mexican border in 1916 with Montana National Guard outfit, and into the World War in July. 1917.
 His reelection as sheriff in 1922 was easy. Then suddenly he disappeared. Investigation showed he was short $2,600 on delinquent tax collections.
 Starts Downward Trail
 He was arrested few weeks later in St Paul. Brought back, he pleaded guilty. He served only 17 months of two-to-ten-year term and came back to Huron.

THE DEFENDANTS
 MOTION DENIED
$2O,OOO Action Against City of Waterbury to
 Be Tried

After denying defendants mo- ton for non-suit in superior court late yesterday afternoon, Judge Newell Jennings ordered the S20.- 900 civil action of Peter Stoto against the City of Waterbury to continue in superior court. Trial was started yesterday after Judge Jennings and the court visited tho scene of the accident which forms the basis for Stoto's suit.
 Corporation Counsel Charles &. O'Connor argued for non-suit on the grounds the plaintiff had failed to establish the city's maintaining a nuisance and jeopardy to pedes- trians. The plaintiff seeks to re- cover for injuries he recived when he fell into the hatchway, used for removing ashes at the East Main street firehouse. Attorney Vincent A. Scully assisted MT O'Connor Mascolo, Mcknight and Dauch appeared for the plaintiff. Thc case will go on again Tuesday, since Judge Jennings will be busy today with short calendar matters
