The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-03-14

The fourth biennial report of the state water commission reveals that to-day there are fewer sources of water supply unpol
 luted and unpreempted in Connecticut than there were before the commission was ere ated some years back. This is no dis paragement of the commissions work, but simply a statement of conditions that are not improving even when they should. The report says in part, The volume ot water available is strictly limited. As it constitutes perhaps the most valuable re- sources of the state, it is our opinion that no time should be lost in enacting suitable legislation to permit its development in the best interests of the people of the state. There is too little comprehension of the economic loss occasioned by reckless dump ing of sewage and waste into our streams. It follows, therefore, that vast amount o! educational work must be done to get be- fore the taxpayers the necessity of controll- ing the pollution of the public waterways of the state. The proper and sanitary dis posal of municipal sewage lacks the inter- est and support of citizens and taxpayers. Already clean sources of domestic water sup ply available to meet the increasing needs of our steadily growing population are becom- ing very difficult to find and costly to de- velop - Perhaps if the legsla-

At the Gates of Peiping

With the capture of Jehol Province by the Japanese, and their arrival at the great wall of China considerably to the south of Jehol City, near Tientsn, there is fear that they will soon march upon that city. Tientsin is the seaport of Peiping-or Pe- king as we used to >call 1t before the new Nationalism played such strange tricks with proper names. Its capture by the Japs would give them control of large, rich area. In control of Tientsin, they would command Peiping also. Indeed, they might decide to take possession of the old capital, for the moral effect it would have on China.
 In such strategy, however, the Japanese might make big mistake. Tientsin, like Shanghai, has its foreign settlements gar risoned by foreign troops. The United States itself has its fifteenth infantry, 700 men, posted there. and undoubtedly Ameri- can warships and marines are not far away. A duplication of the Shanghai at tack and slaughter of last year would do Japan no good, but much harm, in the present mood of the world toward the Japanese adventure. Moreover, seizure of Peiping would probably do as much as any overt act to rouse and unify the Chinese people against the invader.

Membership in National Econ- only League Sure Way to
 Aid President

March 14th, 1883. To The Editor of
 The "Democrat":
 President Roosevelt has spok- en "in no uncertain teyms" in use his own favorite expression, on the subject of reducing com pensation to veterans who suf- fered no disability from the war. The question arises how the individual taxpayer can see to 1t that congress follows through and supports both this and other as- poets of the economy plan which must follow if We are to have the promised 25 per cent reduction in our national budget. I do not be- lieve there is any more simple and effective way of doing this than by filling cut and mailing in a mem bership card in the National Econ omy league. The necessity for giv- ing congressman tangible proof of the desire to have the budget ball. anced is clearly shown by the fren- zied activity of the veterans lobby in trying to block the passage of the economy legislation which President Roosevelt has asked for. Similar efforts can be expected from

Old Time Tavern System

While there have been few plans of liquor control advanced as yet. of the sev- eral discussed we have yet to find any that included feature that the Hartford Times stressed in a recent editorial. Rep Peck of Bristol presented to the state liquor com mission a plan for state board of liquor control having jurisdiction over series ot dispensaries in such places as desire them Dr Barstow, member of the state liquor commission of Governor Cross and head of the Hartford Seminary Foundation, would make liquor readily obtainable in quantity and at low prices so that surfelt ot It might give impetus to a program Of tenn perance education.
 But it remained for the Hartford Times to remark that if dspensary system was to be inaugurated in the state any clause forbidding consumption of beverages on the premises was too ridiculous. Said the editor of the Times. Imagine a person toilng along hot city street on stfling July day, the precipitation dripping from him, his tongue parched, desiring drink of beer to assuage his thirst, and being com peled to go down to the new postoffce neigh borhood, perhaps, to get case of beer and have the case transported out to his home in West Hartford before he could take a drink"
 It is the contention of the Times edl- tor that a return to the days of the old taverns is desirable if liquors are to be given back to us. In such a spot should the sale of light wines and beers be permitted with the intent of consuming the same on the premises We are inclined to agree with this idea. Of course prohbitlonlsts would claim that this was merely calling
 saloon by another name. However, the hours of sale could be regulated, not to mention some such ordinance that no drinks could be sold unless accompanied by defin- ite food order of which the drink charge would constitute a certain percentage. That is custom followed in various European countries with success.
 However, after yesterdays hearings by the state liquor board in both Hartford and New Haven there should be more infor- nation for the public. And no doubt there will be similar hearings in other cities and towns throughout the state It is the intention of the commission to sound out sentiment pretty thoroughly before re- porting back to the Legislature next month. The response of the public to these hear- ngs will decide to some degree just what step Connecticut will take in the event of prohibition repeal. It is 3 matter of con- cern to all of us. We should all be pre- pared to express an opinion when the time comes.

Back To Normalcy

With local banks funetionng as of old 1 Waterbury returns to normalcy today. We trust that by their actions depositors will so regard the situation. There is no need to pverwhelm your banker with requests for more money than he can supply you with Naturally withdrawals of cash will be linn ited until the banking business is standing squarely on its feet again. That shouldn't take many days but until that time let us be content with the mere fact that the banks are open for business.
 There is plenty of currency on hand to transact the daily needs of all Waterburians. In fact. Waterbury banks were not seriously embarrassed when the banking holiday was declared Their position is even stronger today with additional currency on hand SUD- piled by the Federal Reserve Bank for this district and by return of gold and other forms of money to accounts. Hoarding will probably never be referred to again by this generation. It was an outcome of fear, which in turn was produced by unbusneSs- like methods in many of the countrys fi- 1ancal institutions.
 A new deal in our American banking sys- tenn is indicated today. It will be carefully worked out and will be the result of com bination of several ideas supplied by the fore most experts in banking legislation of the nation With President Roosevelt driving the band wagon there need be no fear on the part of the public that helpful changes will be lost in the shuffle. His brief term in of flee should convince everybody that when he asks Congress for action on various matters he gets it.
 Waterbury should resume its normal bank irg operations without much stir or fuss. We're merely picking up something where we dropped it. A holiday is appreciated every now and then. Certainly our banks refreshed by their lay-off should be more than anxious to renew their business aequaintanees. On the other hand the public will appreciate once more the faell- ties that a bank places at its convenience. Successful operation of any bank demands cooperation between clients and officials. We've had that in Waterbury. We'll con- tinue to get 1t.

THE ToNsIL VOTE IS COUNTED

Last October We invited readers to tell their experience with the various methods of tonsl removal. We particularly desired the opinions of patients who have had tonsils moved in the ordinary way (by guilotine and snare or by dissection) and of those who have had tonsils removed by diathermy.
 The vote is not all in yet but l am, and we'll call it counted At any rate I've counted all can Too many who voted in the plebiscite or referendum seem to consider both the old Spanish method not good but not bad.
 As fairly as can tabulate the vote this is the way it stands:
 sixty-six readers have had their tonsils re- moved by the ordinary method guilotine and snare or dissection, under general anesthesia or in a few cases under local anesthesia, and they are quite satisfied and consider the meth cd all right
 Fifty-one readers who had tonsils removed by the old standard method, nearly all under general anesthesia, report unfavorably and de- clare they'd never go through with such operation again. and some of them claim they suffered lasting ill effects from the operation.
 Two hundred eighty-six readers have had tonsils removed by diathermy and declare themselves, emphatically in favor of this meth cd.
 Thirty readers have had Jiathermy treat ment and vote it unsatisfactory
 Besides these votes which definite enough to be tabulated there were more than 2 hundred which did not permit of tabulation- voters still under treatment and hence not qualified to give mature opinion. voters forming judgment from hearsay or without personal experience voters attempting to elucidate good points and bad points of both methods.
 The result of the pebiscite indicates that the diathermy method is most popular among our readers.
 In another talk shall anayze the vote and give some of the reasons assigned by the voters for their preferences. Besides the vote cast, the invitation brought out excellent criticisms For example: "Your wisecracking knocks against skillful surgery furnishing excellent ideas for ad- Yertising doctors quacks, who appear to have taken up tonsi coagulation by dia- thermy.
 That's too bad, of course but 1 cannot re- main silent lest quacks twist my teachings to | their advantage constantly try to make cred ulous laymen understand that if q doctor or specialist is good his satisfied patients and his medical colleagues will see that he is kept busy. If he is not so good he has to other means to attract the unwary public. II am confident that the majority of the testimonials in this referendum you announce will be from people who have not had good tons surgery. Those satisfied with results from surgery will not, rule. waste time to reply to such questionaires." This is valid criticism. It is quite true | that people generally remain silent about med | cal skill that has given satisfaction-but then my comments must have provoked quite few people to break that silence. l Copyright John F.

Queen of the Dead

It isn't only rich Americans who are fooled by foreign art fakes. Professor Edu- ardo Galli, Roman expert, says that the famous statue of Persephone or Proserpine, ancient goddess of the dead, bought by Will helm von Hohenzollern for quarter million dollars when he was kaisering, is colossal swindle.' Italy, which wanted to buy it back, doesn't care so much now. It IS pretty hard on Wilhelm, who self-appointed cd leader of German culture always prded himself on his knowledge of art.
 That mythological Queen of Spades is by no means the only swinde ever put over on Wilhelm. The biggest was the war itself, whose leadership he assumed. A strange man an actor, rather than scholar or sol dier or statesman - always dramatizing himself in some role or other. Today, as an exile, he keeps his state in Holland, preach ing to his family and servants as he used to preach to the German people.

Probably a great many people read the letter on the editorial page of last night s Democrat with considerable interest. We refer 10 the one in which campaign to outlaw the use of the term, "hot-dog' was outlined. No longer will this catch phrase be displayed from roadside signs, if the Litchfield Hills association has anything to say about it. It proposes that instead of 'hot-dogs' let us speak of franks. short for frandkfurter. l. E. Manchester edI- tor of the Lure of the Litchfield Hills, of- ficial publication of the association, says.
 he hot dog must go. It has brought nothing but misery. both to the residents of the state and the packing industry that manufacture 1t. It has been sore spot an an eyeSore on the beauty of the Litch- field Hills. In its place the more dignified and polite term, frank will be substituted. Perhaps it will and perhaps it won't. It's hard job getting people to change ingraned customs. Calling frankfurters hot-dogs' is one.

past it has not been uncommon for a case before the United States supreme court to hang fire for several years before the jus tiees could get around to 1t. Now that the court has caught up on it's work il hopes to establish a precedent by disposing ot cases just as fast as they can be presented to 1t.
 This action by the highest court in the land should set an example 10 lower courts. True most dockets are crowded to-day with miscellany of cases that can't always be disposed of in simple fashion And counsel have an exasperating way of securing eontinuanceS or poStponements to further their cases Courts are cluttered up with postponed actions not through any desire upon the part of the presiding justices to Shirk their duties but owing to the fact that our law can prove very flex- ible in the hands of an accomplished law yer who knows his law.
 But surely there will be an incentive to other courts to follow the example now be- ing set by the supreme court of the United States Where it is physically possible for this practice of cleaning up dockets to be done it should be by all means. There have been many attempts to prevent end less continuances of recent years on the ground Of economy. The taxpayer is too heavily buroened without adding to his worries. And too many courts are run ming up deficits solely because justice must be surrounded and hedged by every legal pretext known to the profession. The supreme court has shown the way. Let other courts fall in line.

Caste Lines Still Exist

"Jenny Wren," by E. H. Young, is tale that may seem quaint to American readers. It revolves about the fact that social caste lines are still tightly drawn in England; it poses problem which, in Amer ica, would hardly be problem al all. But because of the authors skill at creating characters arous- ing sympathy and understanding for them, it is a novel which great many American readers are going to enjoy.
 It tells of two sisters, Jenny and Dahlia Kendall, who have come down in the world. Their father was 'gentleman"-the word still has special meaning in England who married very much beneath him. He brought them up as young ladies should be brought up, but died just as they reached woman hood and left them and their mother penniless.
 The mother, accordingly, moves to town and opens a rooming house; and the girls find them selves in an embarrassing and de- pressing situation. They are in the lower class now and they have to make the best of it.
 This doesn't bother Dahlia much; for she, as she boasts, would willingly go out with the chimney sweep, if she happened to like him. But it is hard for Jenny to swal- low. She does contrive to meet the son of the local squire, but her fall is too much for her, the young squire goes his way and Jenny has to make the best of match with poor but devoted dealer in antique furniture.
 All of this, somehow, becomes very readable and charmingly quaint under Miss Young's delft touch. The book, published by Har- court, Brace and Co, sells for $2.5O.

Here's new way of paying taxes in ad- vance and rather good way, too. New York city is advancing it. It went into ef- feet yesterday when the city placed on sale baby bonds in denominations as low as Sl0 and as high as S10,000. The bonds bear interest at the rate of four and three quarter per cent. The bonds after purchase can be rendered to the city as a part pay ment on tax bills. No speculation in the bonds is allowed and can only be trans ferrcd if property changes hands. It is hoped that this method will result in many people paying their taxes in advance, thus cutting down amounts the city might have to borrow in anticipation of taxes.
