Dollars And Debts

A financial editor writer of hearing, ID a stock brokers office, new plan for eliminating debt, as follows: If per sons income and expenses were doubled, it is assumed that his savings or surplus would be doubled. Then he could reduce his debts just twice as fast as he is do- ing now.' The idea, therefore, is to double prices, salaries and everything else

Washington. - Mrs Roosevelt's great gift for being utterly simple, natural and therefore highly pleas ing never was shown more clearly than at the big party she gave for about 500 "Grfdiron Widows'-the wives of cabinet members, sena- tors, congressman and other not ables who had been barred from the Gridiron club dinner which their spouses attended.
 You fairly had to pinch your self during the program to realize that you were sitting on a little chair under the famed crystal chandeliers in the East Room at the White House and not in some neighbours parlor in Irvington, Ala, or Quincy, III. For, with whole world of professional tal- ent at her command, the First Lady chose to make up the eve ning's entertainment entirely of home talent, picked right from recitations, monologues and what Mrs Roosevelt called, ''0ff-the- slate" movies of the first family in Maine, at Hyde Park and Warm Springs, just the kind of intimate shots friends love to get of their neighbors taking big bites of food at picnics, lying sound asleep on the sands after swimming, and looking suspiciously as if they were snoring.
 Watching them you realized that never again can notables be built up for future generations into such suited creatures as Washington and past heroes havc been, for certainly nothing could have been more human than the president and first lady having an intimate breakfast argument over plans for the day. The younger members of the family playing tennis in their bathing suits, the whole family clOwning to amuse the children, and so forth-all most fascinating shots taken by Mrs Roosevelt's friend, Nancy Cook.
 The Secretary Impers0nates
 Then Mrs Roosevelt introduced one of her secretaries, Mrs Mary Eben, whom she said did a mar velous burlesque of Mrs Roosevelt herself. However, Mrs Eben chose to give an impersonation of one of the types she has personal ly to conduct through the White House.
 Next came a monologue by Katharine Dayton, in which
 she presented "Mrs Demo-
 crat" with her bOthersome < child, 'Nira," who. played
 with 8 lovely chisel and yards
 of red tape while Mrs Demo-
 crat discussed what she want
 ed to give her family for
 Christmas, including, for her
 boy Franklin: "A new cOn-
 gross just like the one he had
 last year. My dear. the way
 that one followed him around <
 was almost human. He just
 loved it!"
 Those Witty Speeches
 During supper Mrs Roosevelt called on guests to contribute short speeches. Representative Isabella Greenway, old friend and maid of honor at Mrs Rooseyelt's wedding, made the best speech, describing her worst moments as a public speaker. She has Q charming presence, very feminines soft fluffy auburn hair worn low on her forehead and high in the back, dimples that come and gos and a marvelously musical voice. Mrs Harold Ickes who flew to the capital a short time ago, was very amusing. She is a bustling fortnight woman, the only one there with a 1914 pompadour. Representative Florence Kahn brought down the house with her dry humor.

Waterbury's postoffice was on Bank street from 1870 until 1895.

One of the largest tributaries of the Naugatuck river is Lead Mine brook which takes it's name from a hill in the town of Harwinton where a mine of black lead was supposed to exist, and 1t is supposed that where the stream entered the large river was part of original Waterbury. The Northfield branch enters the river from the west at Thdmaston, and mile south of this at Reynolds bridge West branch, which rises in Morris flows into the river, and this territory was within the original Waterbury bounds.

Connecticut motorists get an extra day of grace this year in regard to use of new automobile markers. They can be dis played on cars on Saturday, December 30, instead of the 31st as is the usual pro- cedure. The law provides for the last day of the year falling on Sunday and permits markers to be used the day previous. We are still of the opinion that Connecticut would profit by granting 15 day leeway, instead of one day. We wonder if Com missioner Connor will look any more kindly on this suggestion than did Rob- bins B. Stoeckel. Many states permit new markers to be dispiayed early in De- cember. They claim this speeds up issu- ance of plates and prevents the last week rush at bureaus of distribution. The majority of registrants pay cash. They'd pay early in December if they could put the plates on promptly.

It's quite spectacle down at Washing ton now to- watch the way President Roosevelt gets around, while three of his Cabinet aides are recuperating from ill., ness or injury. Secretary Ickes fell on the ice and broke rib; Secretary Swanson has a severe cold; Secretary Dern is bothered with an eye ailment. The Presi- dent recently called on all three and en- joyed himself thoroughly poking fun at his less fortunate workers. He stands the pace remarkably well.

We were slightly in error in one part of an editorial appearing in last nights Democrat We said that the present gal lonage tax on whiskey was $5. That is applied only to imported whiskies and distilled spirits Domestic stocks are still assessed at the pre-prohibition rate of $1.10 per gallon. Wines are taxed cents (4 to IA per cent alcoholic volume) up to $1.1O gallon on wines more than "A per cent.

The test case to determine whether the liquor control board can withhold drug gists' permits from druggists is being expedited by the commission itself. Although Major Buckley is the only mem- Der at present able to attend sessions, Frank Bergin and Samuel Spencer being confined to their homes with grippe at tacks, he has indicated willingness upon the part of the entire board to act quickly on anything that may lead to an early court ruling on the point in dispute. The board has refused to issue druggists per mits to the pharmacies, limiting them to package, store permits. When an appli- cation was made for druggist permit last week by Hartford druggist the way was paved for test case in the court. However, the liquor board didn't even consider the permit. Had it denied or granted it the case would have been sim ple We presume now the board will deny the application and the applicant will appeal to the superior court over the rul- ing. We wonder if the courts will uphold the board in it's first legal test. If it does, it simply means that any special legislative session will be faced with the need of dealing with druggists as we'll as hotel and restaurant men.

Animals Bones

.. Quite as important for thoughtful peo- pie as many of the human facts we are so deeply concerned with is that "Noah's Ark'' found near Cumberland, Md. It is an ancient cave which appears to have preserved the bones of animals of many kinds over a period of 100000 years. They constitute, according to the Smith sonian Institution at Washington, lone Of the best cross-section pictures of life dur ing the Pleistocene Age yet found in North America"
 The Pleistocene, or "most recent age, included four great ice ages, during which the ice sheets advanced from the Arctic as far south as Kentucky and retreated again toward the pole. Temperatures around that cave, therefore, varied from tropical to sub-arctic, during four great winters and summers, while those animals were coming to it for shelter, sleep and death
 Their bones are rich find, and will tell us much of the life of this continent dur ing 10000 centuries There may be human bones among them. We may learn more of our American predecessors. Man is supposed to have been on the earth for about a million years, but no certain traces of him have been found on this continent except since the last ice age. What if he should be found to have laid his bones with those of the five-toed horse? Anyway, here's something to think of besides the business situation

HAVANA, March 13.-Larranaga, a
4 L 4-year-old gelded son Of Appre-
hension-Garden Of Allah II, won
the sixth running Of the Cuban Grand
National Handicap in record time yes

nearly $4,000.
Well ridden by Charley Kurtsinger

THE SPORTLICHT
BY GRANTLAND RICE

finished Of line and the ball rolled part
of the way down steep, grassy bank.
From this position his recovery was
IL feet short Of the cup-over a slant
ing surface that called for almost per-
feet judgment to gauge the slope.
1t was here his putter saved him and
killed the story Of Jones blowing a six
stroke lead on six holes to defeat.
II he had missed that putt the effect
Of the debacle down the stretch might
have been lasting.
Jones won again at Interlachen in
1880 through a sweep of all-around
brilliancy in his third round, where he
left the field far behind.
One of the features Of that third
round, which broke 10, was a series of
mashie niblick pitches that stopped
either dead to the pin or close enough
for simple putt.
hERE was one Of the features Of
i i that last day at Interlachen. Jones
was putting his second shot two
feet from the cup for birdie or 80
feet away for a par. Mac Smith was
planting his second shots 8. 10 and IL
feet away-just far enough to collect
only long sequence of pars, with al
most no brides to help out.

the home green, but he had two puts
for the title at the time.
In open championships Jones' putting
played no spectacular part down the
Stretch-but it was always a winning
foundation through its consistency all
along the 72-hole march. 1t almost
rarely let him down-whether it was a
go or 70-foot approach putt or the
blasting four and five-footers
that rarely stayed out. These are the
destructive distances that have done so
much damage to many of the others
year after year.
When they fail to drop, there isn't
much hope left. No one is brilliant
enough to beat big, all-star field
when these four, five and six-footers
are failing to find the bottom of the tin.
For their mental and psychological
effect Is just as ruinous as their physi-
cal or mathematical side.
