Social Changes

A college professor points out that un- fettered individualism in craftsmanship and industry, in trade and agriculture. IS coming to an end. The outlook for youth IS greatly changed. He finds recognition of this fact whenever he comes into contact with the public. Mothers and fathers are always asking him. How can I train my son, or my daughter to fit into the new economic pcture9" The broadest answer is probably this: By giving them new social viewpoint. Get them to understand that, as Tennyson wrote three quarters of century ago, "The individual withers and the world is more and more and that the process is inevitable They must not only be reconciled to it, if they are to be suc- cessful and contented.
 Complete indvidualism of course, has never been possible since man left his soli- tary cave. A 100 per cent ndividualist is an anarchist. impossible to live with even in a primitive tribe, not to mention our highly complex modern society. But we are not called on yet. and may never be- to become 100 per cent social, like the bees and ants Our present problem. perhaps, IS to strike an average around 50 per cent We must go at least half way in our social and business compromise fitting into the system in essentials Beyond that. we can be in- dividual. We may have to be more and more social in our work; but with more leisure, we shall still have plenty of oppor- tunity to be ourselves. Off duty, we may cultivate hobbies and artistic pursuits more than ever.

Tn justice to Representative William (. Hungerford of Watertown we think that he should be exonorated of the charges that were preferred against him by his fellow citizens earlier this week. The Watertown legislator took the floor when the liquor control measure was being debated in the House Tuesday. and stated that he did no: believe that it was the proper time to pre- sent petitions that might influence the vote of members on the issue at hand. He did not state, as he was quoted in the press ot the state and by news service. that he would not think of presenting any petition offered to him dealing with the subject. As result of the printing of erroneous statements Representative Hungerford was subjected to considerable criticism in his own town and also in the columns of var ious newspapers. As matter of fact he did present to the judiciary committee petition from Watertown signed by 100 oi more prominent residents including Horace D. Taft. It called for support of the gov

Believe it or not New Englanders are los- ing their characteristic nasal twang. Au- thority for this statement is Professor Hans Kurath of Brown University. He is work ing on the Linguistic Atlas of the United States and his surveys have convinced him that speech in this section of the U. S. is not what it used to be. That's too bad. We rather liked the sound of New Eng flanders. the real old natives. Perhaps we can prevail upon some of our rural schools to foster little individualism among stu dents SO that they won't become just ma chine e-made products of an industrial and mechanical age. We don't tsuppose that Professor Kurath has got SO far in his work as to be able to decide whether or not the broad Harvard "a' is still with us. If there is one thing that will endure, it will be good old Boston's traditions and pro- nunciation.

Plenty Of Plans

Since becoming Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins has received from her fel- low citizens more than 1000 letters pre- senting plans for ending the depression. She has roughly classified these proffered pana- ceas and finds they fall into six general groups. One group advocates government operation of all industry for the benefit of the people. Another favors some form of subsidy to private industry to promote re- employment. fixed wages, and so on. A third urges industrial boards on the order of the War Labor Board to act as industrial arbiters and set quotas of production. Another anticipates and American system permanently combining industry and agri- culture, with individual families having factory wages supplemented by home grown food The two remaining groups advocate an enormous public works program and establishment of great barter systems.
 According to Miss Perkins. some of the plans are pretty wild but there are grains of truth in most of them. All of them are familiar in one form or another to everyone who has been reading the newspapers and magazines and talking with friends and bus mess associates during these years. Perhaps the common characteristic of such plans IS that they are intended as cure-alls, yet each deals with only phase of the problem and fails to get at basic causes. It will be easier to look back some years from now and rec ognize which plans offered more grains of truth and which were mostly chaff. Many of the ideas will at least be tried out.

HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED

Herman l.. Emmerich president of the Wis., consin Pharmaceutical association, sends fl- ing card which his association distributes to physicians. According to the Wisconsin Phar- maceutical association the drug digitalis was not introduced into regular medical practice until 1775, when Dr William Whitening of Bir- mingham, England, learned of it's value in dropsy. You might think there is nothing so dreadful about that. But wait, wait till you Dr Whitening learn about the value of digitalis? From some other doctor? Maybe an irregular or even quack? No. No, alack and alas mo-, it is infinitely worse than that.
 I don't know that shall ever say another favorable word about the importance of hav- ing your medicine prepared or compounded by a.. skilled pharmacist M This Wisconsin asso- ledge of the of dgtalis from
 Honestly, I'd much rather not be drawn into this at a If the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical association has some grudge against the phy- sicians 1 prefer to let them fight 1t out among themselves. But if President Emmerich must have yew of the mateE nat I'll say think knowledge of digtalis from "an old lady of Shropshire" There you have the truth-make the worst of it.
 an old woman. But 'an old lady of Shropshire" somehow has a sinister sound. She would be mean one for an ambitious young doctor to face across 8 sickbed, what! I've met my share of 'em in my time. but thank the merciful heaven never encountered one from Shrop- shire.
 Not content with the devastating effect of their work for the month of March the Mill waukee Pharmaceutical association Committee on Professional Pharmacy delivers itself of this additional humilating reminder:
 In 1922 Dr Writ of Hamburg was burned alive after witnessing a delivery with several wdwives in order to obtain first hand infor- nation on childbirth. But the use of 'Ergot was then established and is now found in ev- evry obstetrcal kit.
 I fail to see the connection. It looks as though the pharmacists are trying to tell the doctors that all the doctors know is what the old women tell them
 If is discouraging. after the long hard years of earnest effort I have made to free the pro- efession from this incubus to find our step cousins the pharmacists spending part Of their profits to remind us how much we owe the old women. the midwives, the fshwives and the Saireygamps the world over saecula sae- culorum.
 But the Milwaukee pharmacists have not said the last word. By no means. To their gratu- itous statement that the old women taught us all these things we respond "Oh, yeh? And who taught the old women?'

SATURDAY, APRIL P, 1883
Probably a Technicality

The mere fact that the liquor control bilk signed by Governor Cross Thursday afternoon does not specifically state when the sale of legalized beer shall start IS worry ing some officials Under ordinary cireum- stances this measure would not become effective until July l. But the emergency beer measure passed two weeks ago contained clause to the effect that if proper legisla ton had not been obtained by April 25. the dead line. the sale of beer and wine on and after that date would be unrestricted until such legislation was obtained.
 No doubt the fact remains that the con- trol bill is defective in that it does not state that its provisions governing sale of legal ized beer and wine shall become effective April 25 when the ban must be lifted, but does that give sufficient cause for any great excitement? It will be a simple matter to extend the ban. if that should be declared necessary. If it isn't. there won't be any inconvenience to those concerned. It was easy enough for Governor Gross to extend the banking holiday few additional days. Why cant he do the same for the beer holiday?
 
 now the general terms of the control meas ure and in the main they are satisfied with them. We know that both beer, wine. and other liquors will be subject to the regu- lation of three-man commission. To these general principles there will be wide spread subscription. If the ban goes off on beer at midnight, Monday, we doubt if more than scant few of the people of the state will consider it an excuse to go con- trary to any laws, in existence or eontem- plated. And there will be few people, who intend to do legitimate business in beer and wines, opening up establishments before they have complied with both federal and state regulations.
 What should concern the people of this state more than a mere defect in the meas urs is it's application through the l69 towns of the state. All will be wet until they have signified differently at public referendum. It is our opinion that the sale of legalized beer and wine in Connecticut will be accomplished as quietly as it was in other states There was little furore. Things are proceeding smoothly today. But money IS pouring into the federal treasury at greater rate than was anticipated. This is encouraging news and indicates that as an income producing measure the legalizatlon of beer of 3.2 per cent content was wise move. It can only be eclipsed by repeal of the 18th amendment.

35th Anniversary of Declaration of War With Spain Find
 War Vets Still Deserving

that the best mode of ridding troops of the fever will be to move the troops high into the noun tains, selecting fresh camp every day. If this does not check the disease, the only way of saving a large portion of the command will be to put them on transports and ship them to the New England coast to some point designated by the surgeon-general.
 Miles, Major-General
 Commanding.
 And so the achievements of the unprepared army in 100 days, de- spite it's handicaps added a chap ter of glory to our history. The campaign was offensive from start to finish. There was not a single reverse or disaster or retreat &C., cording to General Nelson A. Miles. Not an inch of ground was lost, not a soldier was captured. It was one series of successes, despite the trials of heavy winter uniforms in a sweltering climate, rations stol- en from the soldiers by the Gu bans, when they threw their hav- ersacks away in the fight. 12,000,- 900 people were freed, and the Island of Puerto Rico alone brought more millions to the Unit ed States than the entire cost of the war with Spain.
 Sixty-one per cent of Spanish War soldiers saw foreign service. for while the Cuban campaign was the start of the war, it trailed to the far Orient and it was four years before peace reigned unruf- fled upon the banners of our re- public. Tn that time our soldiers fought through tropical forest, rice fields submerged under water. hav- ing to hold their guns high over their heads in fording the rice or paddy" fields. and slept fitfully in drenched clothes for days and weeks with a sleepless native en- emy ever watching for a batted eyelid to plunge his bolo into the slepeing American soldier.
 Then followed the Chinese Boxer rebellion, and all through the Spanish-W veteran went uncom- plaining and asking no more than food, clothes and drink to fight for the greatest country on earth which owes all of its glory to its sterling patriots.
 And who shall say without a blush of shame that these men are not entitled to what small help they receive from their country in their later days, when they are passing away at the rate of 600 a day. Time flies indeed MT Span- ish-War veteran, for your greying hair proves that it does. and many have already gone before. Such of us who survive can say with Theo- dore O'Hara on Decoration Day so near at hand:
 Rest on. embalmed and sainted
 dead,
 Dear as the blood ye gave! No impious footsteps here shall
 tread
 The herbage of your grave; Nor shall your glory be forgot
 While Fame her records keeps, Or honor points the hallowed spot.
 Where valor proudly sleeps"

Wild Driving Season

It wasn't necessary for Motor Vehicle Commissioner Robbins B. Stoecke to re- mind the state that the season of wild driv ing is at hand. Most of us realized it with the advent of mild weather this month. However. we can accept the advice that the commissioner offers us with good grace and pass it along to those for whom it may do the most good. There is no gainsaying the fact that there is more reckless driving on our highways between April and December than in the extremely cold months of the year. It is attributable to several causes.
 April is the month when many motorists secure their registrations. There are still large number of people who take advantage of the pro-rated fees and store their cars for two. three and sometimes four months of rne year. But when these cars are eventually taken out of the mothballs the mere joy ousness of being out once more seems to go to the drivers heads. They drive wildly and ignore most of the ordinary rules of the road until something happens to recall them to their proper senses,
 In addition to the increased number o. cars on the roads there is tendency for WlQer use or dutOmODlIeS when 1OdQS are III better condition and driving is not stunted by extreme cold. snow, ice. etc., the many factors that keep fair proportion of mo forists within doors or make them use pub lie utilities means of transportation in this seaoon. All in all April usually finds grand rusl, for the outdoors. And as we said above there is a general disregard for the ordinary statutes Such advice as Commissione, Stoeckel offers is mainly elementary
 He warns against cutting in, one ot the worst faults of congested driving in this age. Drunken driving of course cannot be excused. When a person has not the proper use of his faculties he should never attempt to operate motor vehicle. If he has companions someone with sense should see to it that he doesn't drive This is true under any set of circumstances. Let us hope that Connecticut drivers will try to make Io33 a good year for motoring on our high ways. Due observance of the law and re- gard for the other driver will make this possible

The death of William Courtenay will surprise theater- -goers of another generation. Time was when Courtenay was the matinee idol of his day. Yet in his early youth Courtenay was scheduled to become mem- Der of the Jesuit order. With this in mind he enrolled at Holy Cross College in Wor- cester where he was born and educated. While freshman there he had an oppor- tunity to fill in as a substitute in Ten Nights in Barroom" at Portland. Maine. This brief excursion behind the footlights changed his entire career. He returned to college only to get his clothes. That was 1892. Ever since he has enjoyed success as stage and screen actor.
