A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
How England's Old Order Has Passed

The quiet revolution that has taken place in English life since the reign of Victoria is painstak- ingly depicted in R. H. Mottram's s
 new novel, At the Sign of tho Lame Dog"
 This is story of the transition period, in which the upper class of England-always heretofore n
 class which was as conscious of It's duties as of it's privileges =
 slowly went dead on its feet and
 ceased to be the keystone of so- ciety.
 It is all made clear in the ac-
 count of the life of Earl Earning
 ham, rural innkeeper and horse
 trader.
 Barningham's inn is part of a
 small village, and the village is a sample of the old English tradi- ton in which all life was inte-
 grated about the country gentle
 man. His lordship, up at The
 Hall. was landlord for everybody.
 He set the key for all neighbor-
 hood activities. He kept the
 commerce of the neighborhood alive. If he had privileges he
 also had duties, and he did his best to fulfill them.
 But time brings changes. Stead- fly the old order passes. The Hall becomes a different place. New landlords, with no sense of social responsibility, replace tho old. Englnnd's ills, Mir. Mottram seems to suggest, come chiefly
 because the land has not yet found new system to replace the one 1t has lost. All of this makes a substantial and thoughtful novel. Its only trouble is that 1t is over-long and,
 in spots, just little dull. Pub iished by the Houghton- -Mifflin Co.,, 1t sells for $2.50.

INCOMPLETE MILK CONTROL
 (Hartford Times)

The milk situation in Connecti- cut continues to be chaotic. due, in phrt, to the cautious manner in which the new state milk control board has proceeded to bring order out of chaos. The board has fixed prices of milk as sold by dealers or producers to the consumer but 1t has not yet determined a price level as between the producer and the dealer. This step is soon to be taken.
 The dairyman is the more ag- grieved over this incomplete price schedule because he feels that the distributor has been guaranteed an improved financial set-up whereas the farmer, who most needed state help, is still left to shift for him. self. Some claim that whereas the boards retail prices presume Q payment of six cents quart to the farmer, he Is receiving as low as two cents Q quart in some in- stances because of contract provi- sionS regarding surplus. Hence, there is talk again of milk strike. There can be little dispute as to the logical necessity for complete price schedule If there is to be one governing the retailing of milk. The producer Is more vitally affect ed by the so-called wholesale price

(New York Herald-Tribune)
 This is the age of change. and as much as anything else. especial ly in the more purely social aspect of our civilization, an age of re- version to the institutions of other times. and 1t isn't too safe to be ske ptical about the dancing mas ters who forcsee a return to square dances, gavottes, polkas and schot- tisches as a trend of the dancing times. There is notable tenden- cy in this direction in the Middle West, 1t appears, and lest sophis- ticated Fasteners should fancy themselves immune to this leader ship 1t will be recalled that the present highly popular vogue for bicycling and roller skating had its origin in those states. A survey conducted by the dancing masters showed that any such rural func- ton as that suggested by the name "corn huskers' ball" or "barn dance" was sure of a generous at- tention in the neighborhood Of Sauk Center, and ginghams and overaIls may yet be seen as char acteristic dancing costumes on the parquet at the Ritz. The popular ity of hill-billy songs and dance tunes on the radio and concert programs is said to be in part re- sponsibie for the movement.
 Like other expert prophets in this particular field of endeavor. the dancing masters are propabiy not so much prophets of the im- mediate future as of Sometnirg just a Title farther off than this. A few years ago the custom taiIors of the land were greeted with mod- ulated hoots and sneeZes when they foresaw a vogue or coiored evening clothes for men. but their prophecy has been moderately justified by the common appear.

We'll have you know. sir, that Barwiek is the heart of the Georgia water melon" And this season Barwiek shipped out 300 carloads of nice juicy watermelons. This tremendous sale netted the townspeo- pie, most of whom are watermelon growers, $45.000. And depression or no depression Barwick decided that this was an occasion for celebration. So when somebody men, tioned the Worlds Fair the whole town went Worlds Fair crazy It chartered spe- cial truck. It got special rates from Chicago hotel for large party. It has loaded the truck with hams. live hens. crates of toma- toes. canned goods. coffee. tea. sugar. cakes. onions. And it also is carrying jug of blackberry cordial for medicinal purposes, only. so the newspapers were told. Of course Barwiek isn't big town. There are only A people making the Chicago trip and they comprise the bulk of the population. but what they lack in numbers Barwekians will make up in gusto and in spending money. You can do lot with S45.000. And the tales that the joy-seekers will bring back with them. Why Barwick will be talking over the time it went to the Worlds Fair at Chicago for the next twenty years or until another Worlds Fair occurs.

A Drive Starts

Stream pollution has been attacked by the Advisory Council of the State Board of Fisheries and Game. It has thrown down the gauntlet by encouraging the prosecution of corporations where they are discovered causing pollution of creams Civil suits by private owners of property and by the state are to be asked where there are direct viola tions It will be, of course. only through some such means that any degree of cooper. ation IS secured in cleaning up the streams and ponds. We feel sure that the State Wa ter Board may have something to say on this subject. Certainly it would not criticize any effort to aid its work
 One suggestion has been made that all new industrial plants be approached first with the idea of having them stop pollution of streams provided they are doing that. Certainly every new industry ought to make provisions for neutralizing its wastes before dumping them into stearms or ponds. And those that have been doing this for years ought by this time to be making some sort of preparation to end stream pollution. The State Water Commission is carrying on its negotiations with cities and towns rather than industrial plants that are poluting streams.
 The state should concentrate its efforts on protecting its property when it can be prov ed that fish and game are being slowly ex- terminated by stream pollution. And this certainly is the truth. We can see it on every side. We have it is true, many miles of trout streams. but what of the other streams in which fish swan many years ago. Must we sacrifice them to the fact that cities and factories choose lazy mans methods of dis posing of their wastes3 Certainly not If we do then the United States one day will be nothing more than one big cesspool. Let's have action in our state regardless of what others do.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 Answer--All members of our household have been bitten many times by our dogs or the other dogs A touch swabbing with iodin has always been sufficient treatment. Should there be any anxiety about rabies have the dog confined under observation of a veterinary two weeks. If in that time the dog shows no sign of the disease, forget 1t. If the animal is killed send the head at once to the laboratory desig gnated by the local health authorities. If the pathologst reports that the animal had rabies, then your physician can give the Pas teur vaccine at home. I am still an agnostic in regard to the occurrence of rabies in man. However, if were bitten by a dog veter- mary believed to be rabid If the animals brain were found to contain the "Negrt bod ies" I'd want to have the Pasteur treatment. But am sure most of the scares about rabies are ground1ess-no matter whether health au- thorities share in the hystera or not.

It will be under the direction of the bureau of plant industry.

Paris Letter
By LEE WILSON

United Press Stan COrrcSpOnucnt
 London. (UP)--The story of an Eton schoolboys joke, which is said to have nearly separated the ex-Kaiser from his horse, thereby causing that former monarch much embarrassment has elicited a denial from the exile through his Lord Chamberlain at Doorn.
 When Wilhelm was visiting Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle in July, 1891, he inspected the Eton Volunteers. During the in- spection a blank shot was fired which caused some of the horses to rear and cavort.
 Story in Paper
 An account of the incident in a recent edition of the "Eton Col lege Chronicle" states that the ex- Kaiser nearly lost his seat, and since reading this the former Ger man Emperor has taken up his pen to defend his reputation.
 That the cx-war lord still deems himself g king in fact Is shown by the wording of his Lord Chamber lain's response to the allegations in the school journal, which was sent to MT Shane Leslie, the novel; ist and critic, who had forwarded 8 copy of the paper to Doorn.
 Remembered Incident
 His Imperial Majesty still re- members quite clearly this most entertaining incident Summer, 1891) described in the Eton Col lcge Chronicle His Majesty is thus the more amused to hear how in the course of years fertile imagination has mingled fact and fiction," the letter says.
 When during the manual exer- cises, the shot went off, his Majes- tvs horse did not shy. It was his Majesty's own horse, brought over from Germany, accustomed to manoeuvers, rife shooting practice and artillery fire It stood quiet.
 English Unprcparcd
 "The English horses, ridden by the English officers attached to the Prussian suite, seemed less used to gunfire. They were startled -particularly those opposite the front line--reared up and brought their riders--unprepared as they were and at first hardly able to keep their saddles-into very un- comfortable but somewhat humor- ous positions.
 His Majesty was extremely amused at this schoolboy joke and was laughing about it with hii suite during the ride back to Wind sUr. At lunch the Emperor told the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-07-31

story to the Queen and others amid much laughter, which was renewed when an officer of the English stan named the youthiui delinauent and said that before in- spection he had made a bet with friend that he would Ire on blank cartridge.
 Amused Him
 "At the end of the amusing ar- ticle in the Eton College 'Chron- icle' the writer let's his imagina- tion run riot. His MaJest was. of course, very far from being angry with the young culprit, and did not dream of asking the Queen or hcadmaster to infiict> punishment. His Majesty has enjoyed reading the account of the incident--a reg ular Eton boy joke" A different version of the incl. dent, however, is given by It Col Montague Cooke, which was quot ed in the "Chronicle." Col Cooke was then a small boy at Eton, and he vividly remembers how, when the blank shot was fired. the out. ragged charger rose on It's hind legs and nearly removed the ex-Kaiser from his saddle.

Courts

What do you consider the best courts in the world?" an American reporter asks the leader of the Japanese bar, now visiting America The English courts are perhaps the best he replies. They make no ex- captions They are no respectors of per- sons" He implies that ours do. aside from the Supreme Court. which he'respects highly.
 He might have remarked also. as Ameri- can critics themselves have often done. that English courts use businesslike methods, do not let the lawyers dominate the trials. and do not subordinate justice to legal techni- calities.
