Change In Peoples Thought

{ Back of all the concrete developments of the new program at Washington thsrs ex' ists a profound change in the outlook of the American people - change which. in the long run. may well prove the most in,-
 portant single development of the whole
 new deal" This changed outlook finds its reflection in the various legislative and administrative acts by which the adminis-
 tration is seeking to implement recovery. But it is a deeper thing than any mere change in the machinery of government or political theory; it is not born of any party
 and it does not owe its existence to the
 presence or absence of any particular group lon Capitol Hill
 Briefly, this change can be described by
 saying that we have at last got entirely
 away from the psychology and the odd kind of idealsm that characterized us during nearly all of the '20s We have outgrown. that is to say stage in our history during
 which we were perhaps the most purely n,aterialistc people on earth. In that stage
 we WorSnipped Indtetldl SuteeSs III ""'
 that was almost devout With a very few exceptions, our heroes were the men who knew how to make money fast - and we weren't very particular about how they made it. The go-getter and the hgh-pres- sure lad were in the limelight, and most of us envied them and tried to copy them. That this was an extremely unhealthy period is. by this time. pretty clear. The machine age was beginning to dump it's great est problems in our laps. and we blithely ignored them because the machine age was making some people very rich. The seeds of all our present misfortunes took root in those days. and we were too self-satisfied to try to dig them out. We are wiser. now; md in our attainment of wisdom We have had something very like spiritual rebirth.
 For in giving up our slavish admiration of money and the money-makers. we have made possible q return to the traditional American ideslism. We have stopped de- fining progress as a steady increase in the number of miIlionaires, and because of that fact we Nave opeasd the way for progress of the only kind that is worth making .-=fhe pfoexn that represents a fuller and s wider fife for the ordinary man.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
What Luck Can Do To Human Affairs

"Vulnerable," by Dale Collins. is one of those ingenious and inter- esting yarns about the odd way in which sheer luck can control hu- man destinies.
 The luck in this case is the luck that arises in card games.
 If the young bride, for instance, hadn't trumped her partners ace she wouldn't have gone Oil an ocean trip with her husband, the sea captain. '. If tho animal hunter hadn't held pair of fours in Q poker game in Nicaragua, ho wouldn't have boarded her ship Ut the Panama Canal, thereby interrupting her husbands little scheme to get rid of her.
 If the young Englishman in Rarotonga hadn't bid q little slam which he was unable to make, he wouldn't have come aboard the ship either - and ,consequent wouldn't have been able to rescue the lady when the ship hit Q dere- lict and sank.
 And so it goes-a series of dis connected accidents, purposeiy far. fetched, strung together to make an amusing little romance. II ought to be good book for bridge fans--for such bridge fans, that is, as take time enough out from their cards to read at all.
 Incidentally, the book is made to order for movie purposes; and I'm afraid the movie Is going to be pretty terrible.

 Foreign Trade Waits
 Trade negotiations with Latin American countries will continue in q tentative stage until our in- dustrial and agricultural programs work themselves out. Trade treat. ies and economic agreements must Do held up until we have some Idea what price and currency levels are going to be like. Thus, current conversations with Colombia, Brazil and other countries are merely exploratory. The idea now is to learn whether It will be possible or advisable to enter into trade treaty negotia. tions later on.

VOTE ON AMENDMENTS
(Meriden Journal)

Connecticut cities and towns that vote in October and those holding their elections later-Meriden's is in December - will pass on two constitutional amendments. For ratification vote of two- thirds of the states l69 towns is required.
 One amendment gives the gov ernor power to appoint the tudes of the court of common pleas, a power taken away during the courre Of 1881 session of the gen. eral assembly. It was claimed that the constitution never gave the governor this right.

Here, There And Euerywhere
CITIZEN MOTOR PATROL
Bridgeport Telegraph

Motor Vehicle Commissioner Connors' plan for "citizcn patror' of the highways, to report to the department infractions of tho laws or instances of reckless driving, is regarded somewhat dubiousiy by the Springfield Republican which remarks:
 This is not q novelty. Automo- bilists have q standing invitation to mako complaints in this way. Yet few of them do 1t. They may get very angry at reckless drivers but do nothing more than sputter about 1t. The role of complain ant and informer is not grateful to tho average person and there is perhaps room for doubt that the plan to have every motorist 'po- lice the other fellow as Commits sioner Connor describes 1t, will meet the emergency--for 1t is not less than an emergency, in Con- nccticut or elsewhere"
 The plan has many defects, among them being the fact that it is subject to abuse. Instances of bad behavior, reported some hours after the fact, may be difficult to prove. Most motorists would still prefer to ''sputter about 1t and for- get it." rather than be dragged through court proceedings as witt nesses. On the other hand the commissioner can hardly afford to base his judgment on such reports without giving the accused a chance to state their side of the case.
 Many a time we have seen two motorists driving away from the scene of a narrow escape, each glaring at the other, each mental ly branding the other as a reckless driver. Doubtless both were right. But who would be reported" in such instances?

We wondered when the matters would start their offensive against the bare.headed crusade. It occurred this week in New Haven when representative of the United Hatters of America appealed to all organ ized workers to wear headgear at all times. He claimed that the bare-headed fad was hurting the hat business terribly. We don't doubt it. but still even those who go bare headed at various seasons generally possess a hat or two. We should think that the straw hat business might feel the effect, but not the felt

 Paris, (UP)-Of the 90,000 ref ugees from Germany, mainly Jews who crossed the frontiers in the largest migration of their race in more than four centuries, almost half have sought haven in France.
 German events have caused the greatest hegira of Jews Since thousands were elected from Spain at the end of the 18th century. Even the exodus of the Jewish masses from Tsarist Russia has been eclipsed.
 Rigid frontier control, an out growth of the World war. has con- fronted the fugutive German Jews with difficulties far more harrow ing than ever before. Prevalence of unemployment has made the assimilation of German fugitives a source of constant despair.

Washington.-Labor day found industriallsts attached to NRA rather sour over the way the fed- eral strike mediation system is working out.
 Labor seems to be able to play both ends of 1t against tho mid die. When iabor's representatives here agreed to join in 0 "no strike" appeal, industry conceded support to creation Of the national labor board with its plan for fair, secret elections to determine whom workers wanted to represent them in collective bargaining under the recovery act.
 But as soon as ono striko is set. tied q dozen more break out. There is no authority here to stop strikes, and often the strikers are able to say that they arc only upholding the law in its provisions for recog- milton of representatives Of their own choosing.
 Secret elections, held under N l.. B. auspices, are fine for the unions. The Reading, Pa, textile workers voted 76 per cent for union representatives, placing ot per cent of the workers in mills involved under union Jurisdiction,

Under Mr.. McKinney's plan, ap-
proximately s1o,50O.oo will be re-

Many of the class B or restricted

Put on Exhibit
at Gathering of 10
O'clock Club.

The history Of early Indianapolis
mingled with that Of Cincinnati
New orleans and the Carolinas"
today in a delightful tale Of mem
cries, when the Ten o'clock study
group of the Womans Department
Club met at the home Of Mrs. Ed
ward A. Brown, 1920 Central av-
enue.
The meeting, scheduled as "a
Garden Of Memories" featured
keepsakes brought by the members,
and background of stories about
them which picture life of colonial
days and Civil war history, and the
early days in indianapolis and other
cities.
The meeting was held in an
appropriate background of keep
sakes, antique furniture given the
hostess by her grandmother.
Prominent among the keepsakes
displayed were those brought by
Mrs. Alvin Coate, which marked
the history of four generations. Mrs.
Coate displayed three pewter plates,
made in 1746, and owned by a ma
ternal ancestor during the Revolt
tionary war days, in South Carolina.
The plates were concealed in
barrels of dried apples, which were
