That's about all the average per- son knows about our big manu- featuring plants which include some of the most important and largest in the country.
 Like thousands of others you know nothing of the large number of articles manufactured here. You are not qualified to tell them of the big machines made right here in the Brass City and shipped 10 every section of the globe. You never knew of the large amount of automobile equipment, the nu- merous articles and everything else that is shipped out in carloads.
 Do you realize that if you knew more about your home town you would become booster" and could do a great deal of good in making the fact known that Wa terbury is fine place in which to live?

! elm,' said Uncle Wiggily. THAT will
make her throat feel better and
stop the tickling. I'll hop to the
woods and get her some slippery
elm"
what is slippery elm, Unkie
Wig?" asked Bunty after a cough
or two.
ut is the bark of a tree that
grows in the woods" said the rab-
bit gentleman. There are two
| kinds of elm trees. One kind grows
along the streets in cities and it is
very shady. Then there is another
kind of elm tree that grows in the
woods. When the bark of this tree
is put in water it gets very Shiny
and slippery"
"Is it as slippery as ice?" asked
Bunty.
"Oh, more slippery" said Uncle
Wiggily, IF you chew a piece of
this elm bark I am going to bring
you, why, your throat will get SO
slippery you will needto be careful
that you don't swallow your tongue,
Bunty. 1t might slip down, you
know"
My tongue can't slip down cause
it's fast to my teeth" said Bunty
| laughing a little. Then she coughed
again and Uncle Wiggily hoped
! quickly to the woods to find slip
perry elm tree.
! 1t did not take him long TO do
| this and with his knife he cut off
some of the hard, brown outer bark
until he came to the white bark
beneath. Cutting off some strips
of this white, inner bark, Uncle
Wiggily dipped some in a spring OF
water to make sure it was slippery
and Shiny enough to soothe Bun
tvs throat and stop her cough.
No sooner had he dipped the
bark in water than it almost jump
ed out of Uncle Wiggily's paws.
"Ho! Hol That's slippery
enough" said the bunny gentle
man as he picked it up. Then he
started to hop home, carrying the
piece of bark he had wet in the
spring. And as Uncle Wiggily left
the woods, the Bob Cat, who had
been sneaking around, ran after
him. The bunny saw and heard the
Bad Chap coming.
Here's where I fool himl" said
Mr.. Longears. He dropped the piece
of wet slippery elm bark on the
path and when the Bob Cat stepped
on it his paws slid out from be-
meath him and ne fell down hard
as if he had stepped on banana
peeling. So Uncle Wiggily ran safe
ly home.
When Baby Bunty chewed some
of the other slippery elm bark her
cough stopped at once and next
day she was all well. And if the
eye of the needle will read Bed
time Story out Of the paper of pins
for the spool of thread, I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and Tin
ker Dog.

Il was sort of trying to be a

Don't Quote Me-
BY United Press :

WASHINGTON, July 27.-A SCI
enlist in the national museum is
counting the feathers of the prin-
cipal bird species. No such scienti-
fic count of bird feathers has ever
been made before.
Girls do the actual counting.
They take small pincers and pull
out one feather at time, placing
them carefully in a glass jar. The
work is firing. The scientist has Or
dered the girls to stop work when
ever they get nervous and weary
from the monotonous feather pull
ing. An accurate count Is essential
and he doesn't want a single miss
in the tabulation.
Song sparrows, the scientist has
found, have about $500 feathers,
but the number varies from so to
200 feathers. In hot weather they
lose an average of 600 feathers each
so the pulling is seasonal.
In the study there is no special
object in mind. The scientist con-
Quoting it is just exploring in the
hope that something important
will be discovered. The experiment
is carried on with private funds.
In the national museum are al
most 100000 catalogued separate
objects. They range from almost in
visible insects to fossils of huge pre-
historic animals, from primitive
charred rocks taken from the caves
of earliest men to the Lindbergh
airplane, the spirit of st. Louis"
Col. Lindbergh has strong SEN
timental attachment for the plane
in which he flew from New York to
Paris. Recently during visit to
Washington, he went to the mu-
scum and asked to see the plane.
To avoid crowds he was taken in
after closing hours.
He climbed a ladder and looked
inside the tiny cabin in which he
sat through the long uncertain
hours he was alone over the At
lantic on his flight to fame and
fortune.
He did not try to climb in, but
he examined the other half OF
1--WE" for long time. Climbing
down, he asked museum officials II
they would like some other relics.
A few days later they received a
box containing the flying togs he
wore on the historic flight.

NATIONAL POLICE NEEDED

FORMATION of a federal police force
L to cooperate with state officials in
counteracting the activities of kdnapers
| and other recent outbursts of racketeer-
ing. has been approved by the confer
| ence of governors meeting in San Fran
cisco
The need for such an organization
| has been painfully demonstrated in re-
| cent months, with gangsters openly de-
flying state and county forces by series
of crimes which have shocked the ma
tion.
There is something about clashing
with federal officers which makes the
criminal think twice before placing him
self in position to be hunted by them.
He knows that once the trail is taken up
it is going to be diligently followed and
though he may escape punishment for
his crime for years, and perhaps alto
gcther, those years are going to provide
him With the always present fear of be-
ing apprehended.
Activities of state officers are handi-
capped much of the time by the exist
ence of state boundaries and the limita-
tiuns of state authority. No matter how
close the cooperation may be between
officers of two states, there is always
big chance for a slip-up in apprehend-
ing criminals.
With a federal force, knowing no
boundary lines, and having as much au-
thority in one state as in another, the
arm of the law would be strengthened
immeasurably.
1t is not proposed that federal police
should usurp the rights or duties of
state and county officers. Rather they
would work in even closer cooperation
with them than do existing federal po-
lice agencies, such as customs and secret
service operatives.
This is not the time to be content with
bewailing the terrific growth in gang
ster crimes. Determined warfare against
them must be substituted for express
sions of horror or surprise. Mere words
VIII not reduce the outrages. The gang
ster deals in terror and bullets and moth
ing will stop him but greater terror and
more bullets, directed at him.
The idea of national police force
should not be permitted to end with the
governors endorsement. 1t should be
pushed through to conclusion.
