generally was narrow. The close was

There was no appreciable response to
news from Washington that o proposal

In the meantime. the dollar firmed
moderately in terms of the British
pound and European gold currencies.
Commodities were slightly mixed, al
though wheat rallied after an early de-
cline. Cotton was heavy.
Week end business and trade reports
disclosed further improvement in the
economic picture. Freight car loadings

disclosed, made a particularly strong
showing. Loadings totaled 564,5 ,546, an

Flag Day

Flag day. June Ia. is the anniversary of
the day in 1777 on which official action
was taken with regard to national flag.
The resolution passed by the Continental
Congress, provided That the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen stripes al
ternate red and white, that the union be
thirteen stars. white in a blue field, repre-
senting new constellation"
After that the flag experienced various
changes. Stars and stripes were added oc
casionally as new states were formed, until
there were twenty In 1918 congress fixed
the permanent number of stripes at l3,
IMPLYING the l3 original states and provided
that on the admission of every new state
into the union, one star be added to the
union of the flag and that such addition
shall take effect on the Fourth of July next
succeeding such admission
Observance of Flag day consists chiefly in
flying the national colors. 1t would be a
more notable occasion were it not for the
fact that flags are flown rather commonly
now not only on public buildings and base
ball parks but over most gas filling stations.
Americans love their flag, but they have
never learned to set it apart as sacred SYM
Dol to be used only in specified ways on GER
tain occasions. Some people deplore this
easy going attitude. But after all, why
should not the flag be used, enjoyed and
admired9

The State Department of Public Welfare
regards the continuation of the Jail survey
commission in quite different light than
do the legislators of this state. Although
most of them voted to continue this group

pressure from high sources, notably the
governors office, or perhaps the high courts
of the state. At any rate the commission,

False Teeth in Chaises

A new test for the motor coach as an eff
fectve and pleasant means of transportation
developed in a hearing in Chicago. The
Chicago Motor Coach company wanted a
perpetual franchise on the outer drive. In the
course of the hearing, an attorney for the
company tried to prove that buses were the
pleasure vehicles of those too poor to own
cars
Tie opponent stated that he'd like to
take the attorney for bus ride on certain
route. If you have plate in your mouth.
and it's still in when the rides over, he
said, I'll buy the beer Have you false
teeth' Did you ever ride on that bus? Did
you lose them9" Yes to the first two ques-
tons, no to the third but held them in
like this!' The gentleman illustrated with
strangle hold.
The learned attorney for the coach COM
pany stated in reply that the line carried over
100000 people last year, and he had
false teeth. too. Whereupon he removed his
plate and waved it at his opponent. The
reader is left in some uncertainty as to the
connection of false teeth with perpetual
franchises, and in childlike wonderment
as to the dignity of the law.

Welfare attacks the problem from a new
angle. Ii says through its secretary. Will
liam w. T. Squires that encouragement
tfnay be found in some dimnution of crime
s..JaiI commitments, in the state decreased in
;efo32 and the United States Department OF
Justice, Bureau of Investigation. in report
lust issued states that the rate for robbery in
cities of the New England states is much
lower than in any other section of the
country.
Nevertheless we have cause to fear that
complete solution of the problem is not at
hand nor can we be sure that we have the
kew, when it is noted that our juvenile
courts were established over decade ago.
Yesterday the majority of offenders are about
l9 years old.
Effort has been made to treat offenders
under Informative rather than revenge
full policy, but while many believe there
must be more scientific approach to the
problem of crime yet we are told by some
authorities that there is no scientific
knowledge in The field of eriminologY. We
have no knoW5fdge of the causes of GRIM
ina behavior Of of the effects of different
modes and varieties of treatment upon actual
or potential offenders or of the efficacy of
programs and measures of prevention.
IF the above is true. it would appear
that all we can do at present is to continue
the study and research, manwhile utilize all
available defenses to protect the law abiding
from the Expectations of the criminal.
If this is not good defense for the Jail
survey commission, in addition to the task
of deciding the future of the county institu-
tons then what does constitute one?

Why Blame Anyone?

The state still Splutters at regular inter-
walls with repereussions of the recent legls-
lative wrangle over the liquor control act.
The last minute switch of the 6. o. p. lead
ers of the two houses enabled several
amendments to the act to be passed. his was
due to the efforts of State Chairman j. Henry
Roraback But astute commentators claim
that MIR Roraback saw the handwriting on
the wall for the republicans in 1884 if his
party retained the same attitude that it dis
played through its chosen representatives in
. the Legislature.
The Hartford Times political writer in
clines to the opinion that if any person or
group of persons is to be blamed for the
hole in which the republicans suddenly found
themselves it is the Judiciary committee. 1t
says in part, An analysis of the situation
indicates that when all aspects of the case
are considered the republican controlled Ju-
dietary committee ,'let-down' the various
{ groups seeking amendments. They refused
to act for the sole reason that the liquor

apparently, had other plans and Majority
Leader Baldwin of the house and Minority
Leader Alcorn of the senate brought in their
own bill The fight. thereupon, be-
We can recall quite clearly the attitude
the Democrat took from the outset. A COM
mission in lieu of the control by county
commissioners met without approval as it
did with the majority of people desiring
complete separation of politics and liquor.
That we should plan for the day when the
18th amendment would be repealed was
likewise approved That the liquor act as
adopted might be open to future changes was
admitted. Nobody claimed it as perfection.
We have made changes. More may be forth
coming in the next two years. So much the
better. But certainly by the time prohibition
repeal is achieved Connecticut will be well
fortified to protect its citizens and at the
same time permit liquor traffic.
