 Constitution of the United States Article 1--sec 8-Par 5.
 "The congress shall have power: To coin money, regulate the value thereof and of foreign coin, and tQ fix the standard of weights and measures"
 This article of the Constitution of the United States has been abrogated through fraud. Plenty of testimony is recorded in the Congressional Record since, the Forty-Second Congress, to show that a gigantic swindle was perpe- trated on the congress and on the people.
 History shows that the control of labor, wages, property, and gov efnment was conceived in the minds of the Rothchild family of England and they enlisted the aid of other families in other coun- tries Gall are now commonly known as International Bankers) to make Gold the sole medium of exchange.
 These International Bankers now fight with all the power and Strength they possess to keep con- troI = no matter what the cost be to the peoples of the world. Tn 1868 the Rothchild brothers are recorded as follows: ''That the few who can understand the system oi National Banks will either be st

 No doubt the Rothchild brothers were right in their statement above but they forgot one thing Greed. If the International Bankers were content to take a reasonable cut out of the producing power of the people - all would be well and the people would have Continued on in blfssful ignorance. But no their Greed has pulled their own houses down on themselves.

Washington Surrenders

Washington has been invaded and over- run by great army. It is not bonus army this time. You might call it dole army. The invaders demand handouts. They are starlings, described by an elo- quent correspondent as ''swarming over the White House, moving in great black hordes against the Interstate Commerce Commission and menacing the offices ot the International Commission on Bound- aries and Waters between the United States and Canada" Soon they may attack the Capitol, the Commerce Build ing where MIRA is housed, the Treasury and other governmental strongholds.
 They drive residents almost crazy with their twittering. They are like an Egyp- tian plague And apparently nothing can be done about them. Dr William c. Fowler, District of Columbia health com missioner, who has fought them long, says that all is lost. Surely, though, govern ment of such varied resourcefulness ought to find some way. Couldn't they be fed with apologies to Al Smith-poisoned "alphabet soup"? Couldn't there be an S.E.F. organized = Startling Extermi- nation Force? Or couldn't we persuade England, where they came from, to take them back in exchange for the American citizens over there who are always brag- ging about their country?

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Took Journalism For A Dizzy Ride

You will go long way before you find a rowdier or more fantastic book than Timber Line," by Gene | Fowler. In this book MT Fowler studies the careers of those two ineffable l journalists, F. G. Bonfils and H. IL. Tammen of Denver, who took the newspaper business for one of the dibzizest rides It ever had, profited enormously, exploited their sub- scribers, their advertisers, and the public generally, and all in all pro- vided irresponsible yellow journal ism with its reductio ad 'absurdum. Tammen was an ex-bartender and Bonfils was a promoter when they joined hands and went into the | newspaper business. They gave Denver newspaper for which fantastic" is a mild word. Basically, the story is a pretty ugly one. But MT Bowler throws | over it the aura of frontier
 mining camp in its boom days, and presents his piratical rogues with a gusto that makes his book infinitely entertaining. He does not bother to praise or blame; he simply tells
 his story, and if it is pretty appal-
 ling, it also is highly amusing. l Of his two protagonists, Tammen
 seems the mbore likable. He was a
 grminning, Rabelaisian chap, who
 never pretended to be anything but what he was. Bonfils was pompous;
 incredibly, he took himself seri-
 ously.
 The book should be required reading for schools of journalism. It is a perfect example of the
 depths to which journalism can
 sink when the lust for profit is the sole guiding star.

To increase the efficiency of weather reports throughout the nation it has been proposed that net work of astrological stations be established They would CO., operate with Army Navy, and commer- cial aviation agencies in gathering data that would be used in producing long range predictions. It is not believed that the cost of such a service would be too prohibitive. It certainly might help the newspapers in salving the dignity of wounded subscribers who threaten to drop the paper when the weather forecast doesn't come out the way it was printed. We have often commented on the fact that daily weather reports have been proved over period of year to be about 90 per cent accurate. That isn't bad However, people overlook the number of times the weather is called correctly and only re- member when the weather man went back on them.

Leave It To Lindy

We'll, the kindberghs have gone and done it again. This time the Colonel flew the South Atlantic from east to west, ac- companied by his wife. There is nothing that this brave adventurer of the air lanes does not dare. Certainly no airman off recent times has proved himself any more competent in his chosen profession than Charles Augustus Lindbergh. Were he merely just flyer his name would have been forgotten within a short time pfter successive feats. But Lind Sergh is more than that. He is an ex- hl0rer. It is he who will revolutionize he air traffic of the next generation.
 It is Lindbergh who is mapping out the air channels that some day may be dense

HISTORY

In 1888 the first mention is made of a road to Pennington. And also in the same year is the first men tion of a road from Cooke street to Pine Hole from a grant to Abra- ham Andrews. The earliest knowl- edge of a saw-nlill was also gained from a grant which says Tin refer ence to land granted to Samuel HickoX, Jr," three acres at the Pine swamp by the path that leads to the saw-mill on the brink of the hill taking in all the swamp" The saw-mill site was later occupied by the Heather Works" of William Rutter. The northeastern section of the township, lying nearest Pennington was the first section selected for occupancy, although due to the boggy nature of this land it was later relegated as common land" There were about ten square miles in this north eastern area.
 A book called "The PAprietor's Book" has useful and valuable in- formation on early town facts, and 1t was in this that it was learned that Waterbury had a Long Wig wam."

to permit AAA access to their books, although they granted the same privilege to the Bureau of Internal evenue. It is granted to the AAA by other coded indus tries.
 Wallace refuses to be bull dozed into a code unless the Packers yield. He points to the Consent Decree handed down by the Supreme Court, the Federal Trade Commissions report on the Packers, claims the Packers have the evidence stacked against them.
 SHOWDOWN DEMANDED
 Peek, on the other hand, wants the Packers code rushed through. His friends in Big Business accuse the "Reds' around Wallace of delay. General Johnson is siding with his old friend Peek. (They once ran the Moline Flow company together.) Johnsonsays the codes should be pushed through, even though compromised. He thinks the Tugwell- Wallace group are fun

 The showdown is coming soon. But it probably will not please Johnson. It looks as if his friend Peck would lose out. BIG SHOT
 Ambassador Josephus Daniels secretary of the navy under Woodrow Wilson, has a large, fund of maritime stories. One of the latest is about two for mer service men who were hoasting about their employers. ..
 My boss" said one, '.was a big shot in the navy once"
 Yeah? Well, what was his off, ficial capacity"
 "Official capacity? Oh, I'd say about four or five quarts when he was feeling good"
 OUT-SMOOTED
 Reed Shoot, ex-senator from Utah, was famous for having set the all-time record for getting jobs in the government service. In every bureau he had his key men.
 But now his proud banner is in the dust. A member of the New Deal has come along who has out-SmoOted Smoot. He is suave Dan Roper, secretary of Commerce. Working with his old friend Senator McAdoo, who secpred his appointment, Roper has planted his patronage in every out of the way bureau of the government. The team of McAdQO and Roper is funotion- ing beautifully.
 Senator Smoot, according to his friends, is reputed to have ad- mitted defeat, but says that it took two to beat him.

We commented some few days ago on the effort being made to amalgamate the Coast Guard Service with the Navy. The decision to do this is said to be now in President Franklin D. Roosevelt's hands. We're wondering if he will look kindly on any such proposition. Of course the President sees with Secretary of the Navy Swanson on the question of a bigger navy. He would naturally show some sympathy in this direction, since he is a navy man himself, having served as assistant secre- tary during the Wilson regime. The Roosevelts have always been navy men and probably always will be. They are brought up with love of the sea. That's why we don't think that the time-h -honored Coast Guard Service will meet with short shrift at the hands of the President. He knows how valuable it has been in years past. He recognizes its history replete with glorious achievements does not de- serve to be swallowed up in the great maw of the Navy Department. Perhaps he will even hear the plea that the fishermen of Massachusetts are now making. They want the Coast Guard left as is. The Master Mariners Association of Glouces- ter has sent resolution to Washington protesting this. Other groups are ex- pected to follow this example. We wouldn't be surprised to find all maritime organizations opposing the plan, perhaps from sentiment, but, nevertheless, with a firm determination to fight for the corps that has been their greatest friend.

Washington, Dec S.-The drive against liberal forces within the New Deal now looks like a death battle. One side or the other - the Left or the Right --is going to have to get ,out.
 The fight at present is cen- tering on two things.
 One is the Securities Bill, branded by bankers and brokers as stifling the money market.
 The other i9 the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. UNDER TWO FLAGS
 In the latter are two distinct groups. One = the Liberals is headed by Secretary of Agri- cultural Wallace. The other the Conservatives-is headed by George Peek, co-administra- tor of the AAA.
 Wallace has gathered round him a group of progressives, some of the hardest fighters in the New Deal. They include Pro- lessor Tugwell, Legal Counsel Jerome Frank, Economic Adviser Ezekiel, Consumers Counsel r1OWe, Idul SpplOUy anu 0dh " ner Jackson.
 The drive against them is be- ing led by groups of meat pack CTS, tobacco companies and milk dealers, whose codes they have opposed.
 The strategy of the attack is. to brand the Wallace group as "Reds". The plan is to pick off one man at a time. The attack Is now centering on TugweN. Various interests want him out of the picture. They have two big things against him. He is author of the Pure Food and Drugs Act and the Liquor Control code.
 THE OFFICIALS SACRIFICE What few people know is that in both of these, Tugwell is the goat. He was merely carrying out instructions. Roosevelt him. self is its chief supporter. The Liquor Control plan was ordered by Wallace-but Tugwell got the blame.
 So Tugwell is branded a dan- RCEOuS 71GtSAHs AVhAANShNANh business letters are broadcasting this. Several business concerns are putting out press releases with the same implication.
 Both Wallace and Roosevelt. |. however, are backing him 100 per cent.
 FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE
 The fundamental issue between Wallace and Peek is simple. Peek is an old McNary- -Haugen man. He believes in boosting farm pro- duction, finding foreign markets.
 Wallace claims there are no foreign markets to speak of. Present statistics bear him out. He says the only solution is the limitation of crop production.
 Chief outside criticism of the AAA is on delay. The Meat Packers code has been held up for weeks. The issue here bOils down to whether the AAA should accept a code which it cOnsid- CTS unjust to both farmer and consumer. The Packers refuse

New Britain High School girls are hav- ing the law laid down to them these days by no other parsonage than the president of the state hair and cosmeticians con- mission. It seems that several of the girls in the Senior High school were giving fin ger waves. The state commission called attention to the fact that this could not be done without proper possession of licenses and that fines were allowed for violations of the state law. Guess the girls will have to go without their finger waves unless they want to patronize the fully licensed beauty parlors.
