Bank Security Values

A warning against excessive marking down of the values of bank assets is given by Robert C. Clark of Vermont addressing a convention of state bank supervisors. Sound banking. he says, is essential. But he eriti- eises the policy of "reeklessly marking down values to a spot where we arc sure no loss can possibly occur" Such policy, he says tends to undermine the values of all property to a ruinous extent, and to impose unnee- essary hardship.
 This warning might well be applied broadly to the valuing of bank resources of all kinds. In a natural but excessive effort for complete ''liquidity" during the last year or two. many bank borrowers have had their securities sold out prematurely, when a little delay on rising market would have saved them.
 Real estate borrowers have suffered espe- ciaiy from low valuations. at a time when it has been hard to say in any specific case just what value property had. As result. thousands have lost property which. given little more time, would have proved ample to safeguard the mortgage loan. A good safety policy in banking is patient coopera- ton by both parties

A Book a Day
 by BRUCE CATION
A Man And Woman On A Lonely Farm

There probably never was nov. el so thoroughly lousy that some reviewer wouldn't feel moved to say that 1t had distinction" That word is the most over.worked word in the reviewers vocabulary.
 Nevertheiess. I am going to use 1t once more. "Andrews' Harvest" " by John Evans, has distlnction; 1t is written, that is to say, with . skill and q feeling that set 1t apart from the general run of books. It Is, in fact, something rather spe- cial.
 It is the simple story of Q west ern youth who has . quarter-sec- tion of farm land up on the edge of the Rockies. His wife dies In childbirth. Lonely, and filled with 0 dull resentment against the world in general, he takes the baby
 back to his farm: to care for the child he hires q luckless town girl who has just lost her job q restau- rant waitress because, unmarried, she so far forgot herself as to havc , q baby--which. by the way, was
 born dead.
 So the lonely young rancher and | the outcast waitress and the tiny baby set up their establishment in the mountains: and the rest of the
 book Is simply the story of their life together. Inevitably the man and the woman fall in love. They have to fight their own loneliness. the hostility of society and the general cussedness of fate; and Mir Evans has told their story with great tenderness and insight.
 Incidentally, he is rather out spoken, here and there; don't give this book to your Aunt Jenny. Published by Morrow, the book is priced at $2.

Maybe He Won't

We wouldn't blame Senator Hiram John son of California to look askanee at any invitation that he might receive to bolt his party and run on the democratic ticket for reelection next year. The invitation is sup posed to have come from California demo- crats and we assume that it means that the democrats of California, including Senator William Gibbs MeAdoo. will aeeede to this strange demand. We have heard of men bolting their party, but we don't recall an- other party suggesting that representative of the opposition bolt and run for office.
 However. in this day and age of politics anything seems to be permissible. And probably Senator Johnson's best chance of being returned to Congress next year rests upon his securing good many democratic votes. To our mind, though, there is no doubt but what the senator could get plenty of democratic backing without desefting his party If he can't secure the republican nomination that's another thing However, California has always seemed to display considerable so-ealled progressive tendencies when it came to Senator Johnson. If we recall correctly it was the senator who turned the tide against Charles Evans Hughes in that memorable presidential elee- ton of 1916.
 Some unintended slight by the republi- can nominee, now chief justice of the U. s. supreme court resulted in Senator Johnson deserting. or better still. showing only lukcwarm interest in the Hughes candidacy. As result California after many breathless hours was discovered in the democratic col umn and Woodrow Wilson was back in the White House to wage his hopeless cam paign for world peace. Of course it is bare ly possible that in the last v years Senator Johnson may have lost sufficient caste to en. danger his leadership. His espousal of the Roosevelt cause last year has, so far as the general public knows gone unrewarded. The senator might say it's simply case of victory being its own reward.
 But the slim bit of news that the demo- cratic nomination is Johnson's for the mere asking interests and intrigues If he should decline (with thanks, of eourse) then the obvious thing for the democrats to do is to nominate senatorial candidate who will be one in name only. But before doing any. thing let the republicans hold their sena- torial convention. Then we'll know just how much chance the veteran legislator has of being elected. It stands to reason he'll need some adherence in the party of his the democrats may find themselves out on the end of limb with parsonage whom they can't put into office.

Power Of Opinion

The public administrative body known as NRA is recognized as the greatest force oper- ating in this country since the World War with it's power steadily growing. There is much argument as to whether its authority is voluntary or compulsory, but there is no doubt that the authority exists It is broadly based on governmental power. It is based on the still more solid ground of public opinion. It represents, as Grover Whalen of New York has pointed out the Twill of the people upon which our form of government is founded. Rarely in his- tory has nations mind united so definitely. for any purpose except war. as the American mind has done now for the purpose of bring ing new order into its economic life
 Mere public opinion in itself may be a blind force. It may be exerted for good, bad or indifferent things. It is something that requires direction. like steam or electric ity Wisely directed, and made conscious of its purpose, it becomes the most power ful force in the world. Three factors com bine to create this force. They are gov erenment, press and people. A free and vital press has as much to do with it as either of the other two. And the Ameri. can press. most powerful in the world, is all the more effective in this case because it's support is voluntary.

The free larvae pass along to the intestine, where they develop into l adult worms. The females produce more than | 500 young, and the embryos at once penetrate | the intestinal wall and get into the blood | stream and so are carried to many parts of l the body, the brain and other organs as well | as the muscles.

Expert meat inspectors can detect infested meat with the naked eye But considerable hog meat is not inspected. The safe plan for everybody is to see to it that pork, ham or | bacon sausage is always very thoroughly cooked-thorough cooking kills any such para | sites.

Now we have method whereby three years can be taken off the aging time of good wine. Malie acid. the flavor of apple juice. does it. according to Dr R. C. Downs of New York. So much will the use of this acid cut the aging period that it will mean cheaper wines Dr Downs describes his ex- periments briefly as the passage of an air current over benzene and napthalene. thus producing malie acid. Young wine is strong in tartaric acid, the doctor claims, and precipitation of this excess requires at the very least three years. Adding the malic acid to the wine when it is young and some agitation produces almost immediate precipitation of the tartarie acid. All of which is interesting to us the ultimate consumers of these experiments. However, often mans substitutes for Nature aren't so good as the original.

More Marriages

Nothing has been said about new matri- monial code under NRA. but a marriage license clerk in reviving industrial city has been wondering about it. In August this year he issued l25 more marriage licenses than in the preceding month and nearly 200 more than in August, l932. He issued l60 more licenses in July this year than last although the number for June, l933, was just the same as for June. 1852.
 From his figures, it is obvious that some thing has happened to give more young couples the courage to get married If the trend continues a few months longer it must inevitably effect many other lines. Real estate. home construction and house furnish inss should enjoy increased activity as the number of marriages increases.

More Traffic Problems

Without intending any criticism we can only say that the NRA has stressed very plainly the need of Waterbury officials to reorganize the eitys traffic situation. Now that night shopping has practically come to stop our streets throughout the daytime and especially towards the end of the week Saturday in particularly present real prob- lens to motorist and pedestrian alike. It would require an immense number of traf- fc policemen to straighten out some of the tangles that have occurred of recent days.
 In the event of bad central fire or an accident we can foresee some difficulty in handling traffic unless we start now and im- pose few rigid laws. And the first and foremost one that we suggest to the heads of the city is that all double parking along our eurbs be banned. If necessary to have patrolman at every point where this ordin- ary rule of the road is violated we would do so, The place where this violation is most fragrant is the postofflce. We'll ad' init that it is necessary for a good many people to visit the federal building on Sat- urday morning. But we do not admit the need of blocking all traffic on Grand street.
 Broad as this thoroughfare is it resem- bles nothing more than maze all Saturday morning and part of the afternoon. Ex- change Place has its fair share of double parking. too. Usually, though. there are patrolmen there to prevent cars lining up two abreast near the curb. But in the last month or since shopping has increased to its present point the situation has become al- most menace Under the circumstances our patrolmen do exceedingly fine work in keeping cars moving along and in prevent ing jams by inexperienced parkers. But so long as no parking signs are ignored or double lines are formed along the curbs tinue to increase. so now's the time to strike at the offenders.

The state tuberculosis commission should get complete cooperation from the press of the state and from all enforcement officials in running down the individual or individ- uals who are soliciting founds fraudulentiy. The story the agents advance is that there will be no sale of Christmas seals sponsored by the commission this year, but that con- tributions are being sought to defray the cost of issuing circulars at the holiday season. The seals not to be confused with the national ones will be on sale as usual. The New Haven Employes Tuberculosis Asso- eiaton will again sponsor their sale.

know a place in the United States where relief is adequate" All of this, of course. simply means that Community Chest cam paigns this fall have got to be supported as never before. The federal government can help provide unemployed people with shel- ter and with food. But that. after all, is only part of the fight. You may keep man from freezing to death or starving to death, but he can still be everlastingly mis- erable if the job doesn't go any farther than that.
 His children have got to have normal
 educational and reereational facilities. The health of his entire family must not be al- lowed to suffer. The deadly empty hours which come to man who has no job have got to be filled somehow, and if the com munity doesn't provide some way in which they can be filled advantageously the man is very likely to go to pieces. These are fields which the federal government can hardly touch. They are up to local agen- eies: and since most city and county treasuries are pretty empty. the burden has got to be carried very largely by private charity.
 And that, in turn, can be translated into very simple words: we have got to dig down in our own pockets again this fall and win ter, and We have got to dig down pretty deeply It won't be easy of course. None of us will enjoy it much. But unless we do it in a most ole-hearted way the de- pression will leave scars which will be gen. eration in healing.

Still Need For Charity

Although the federal government has broken all precedent in the extent of its campaign to relieve unemployment it is still true that private charity occupies the front trenches in the war on hunger and privation. This is made ineseapably clear by the remarks of President Roosevelt and Relief Director Harry Hopkins at the recent relief conference at Washington. No matter what the federal government may do. as the president pointed out. in the end the whole thing comes back to the responsibility sf individual citizens ana ofyanlzations.

 Washington - What made Gen. eral Johnson hurl the coal oper- ators' letter on the floor. He was angry. He cursed and charged an insult to the presi- dent"
 The large non-union Appala- chian group of mine owners had written him that they wouldn't take any of his code.
 But what made Jonson especially sore was the letters assertion that 1t was evident that the code he had written contained provision through which political influence could be brought to bear to sway decisions one way or the other.
 What hey meant chiefly, was provision that made Johnson arbiter on the question as to what constituted Q fair or unfair check off from the miners pay. (The checkoff Is the coal company's de- duction from pay envelopes for rent, powder and other charges and in unionized mines includes the miners union dues.)
