A Reckoning Highway

When the Meridian Highway. planned to traverse the western hemisphere from Cam ada to Patagonia. is completed it should be joy to the adventurous and romantic traveller. It will pass through more differ ent countries and climates than any other paved road in the world. Motoring from one end of it to the other should be mar vicious educational opportunity.
 One picturesque stretch of this road, the VI miles between the Texas border and Mexico City. is expected to be completed by the end of this year. A description of the riches it will offer the traveller includes wonderful scenery. primeval forests snow- capped contains, quaint and exotic towns, aboriginal races. cities 400 years old, ancient missions and monasteries, priceless art and archaeological treasures and pyramids nearly as old as Egypts. It wouldn't be bad idea, when the long highway is ready, to take sabbatical year off from ones work and go jaunting to Patagonia.

Life Enrichment Now

Accepted in principle, but with reserva- tions." That is the status of the idea of periodic physical examinations for the pro- lection of health. according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. Doc tors have been urging it since 1861. Doubt less more people have examinations now than formerly. but the public still does not go in for them in big way. The Journal writer believes there is reason for this. Too great emphasis has been placed upon pro- longing life, an idea which really interests individuals less than might be expected. Taking thought for the future is not half so appealing as enjoying today. Besides few people think of the possibility of carly death.
 Therefore. says the Journal, the emphasis should be upon life enrichment now. Young people convinced that they will be happier and more successful in their work and play if they are in good health will, perhaps, see more reason for the annual cheek-up pro- vded by the physical examination. The emphasis placed on health by such organiza- tions as the Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls and All clubs leads in the right direction.

Odd Vacation Lure

A novel, but very appealing. idea for making a community attractive to vacation visitors has been advanced by the Come to Cleveland committee of boosters of that northern Ohio city. It is the adoption of cool summery clothes by local men. From the mayor on through the official and busi- ness groups of the city. men are pledging themselves to take up in big way suits of linen. seersucker. mohair and other appro- priate fabrics.
 Prospective male tourists, hearing of this, or passing through the city, are supposed to have two immediate reactions. They will be pleased at the sight of such comfortably garbed men, and they will realize that they. too, can dress coolly in such place with out being conspicuous. This patriotic ges- ture on the part of Cleveland males will be as agreeable to themselves as to their visitors. While looking decorative and inviting, they will feel comfortable and be as cool as it is possible to be when working in city in July.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
We'll Written, But Highly Irritating

"A Laughing Woman" by Carlos Keith, is one of those novels that make @ reviewer--this one. at any rate-wonder why he didn't get in- to the bond-sclling game that time he had the chance.
 It Is, I mean to say, an exasper- rating book; well-written by a com- potent novelist, filled with eminent- iy lifelike characterization and dialogue, it Is an authentic slice of life = and somehow 1t adds up to nothing at all.
 It's a tale of the disreputable fringes of up-to-date New York life. There's a down-at-the-h heels press agent in it, an assortment of ladies of easy virtue, a rising movie director, radio continuity writer. and the usual collection of speak, easy proprietors, night club host esses, merry villagers and so on. All of these people get tangled up together when the movie direc- tor comes east to make new pic- ture, which is to be the starring vehicle for the light O. love of the movie company's president. Be- cause some of the people are not very bright and all of them are grasping, lecherous and unreliable, practically everybody involved comes to grief in the end; and somehow the whole business leaves very unwelcome taste in the readers mouth.
 We have here competent nov elist, gifted with technical skill. insight and a knack of delft char acterization, putting in his time on gang of insects who ought to be under an old board in some barn. yard. It makes this reviewer sympathize with the maiden lady who says that there are enough nasty people in real life. so why read about thcm in books? Published by Vanguard. this book sells for $2.5O.

Governmental Salesmen

Great Britain is taking leaf out of our own policy book. for a slice of foreign bus mess. Our government recently lent China $50,000000 to buy American wheat and cotton. Now Britain diverts about the same amount from her Boxer indemnity fund - assessed against China generation ago-to finance Chinese works in way profitable to British business. The money will go mostly into Chinese railroads, ships and mining ma chnery, under British direction. using British materials.
 This is quite legitimate, as our move was It is another example of the way modern governments, in their foreign relations, arc changing from political instruments to finan- cial agents and trade drummers. A govern ment today controls domestic business with one hand, and with the other reaches out to get business.

Although Kentucky is known as the blue Grass State. its sister state, Ohio, really should bear that title for it raises much more blue grass today. However, Ohio is and probably will remain the Buckeye State"
 Years ago when blue grass was main agri- cultural product of Kentucky somebody hap
 pened to see the future in its production on the broad lands of Ohio. As result more and more acres have been devoted to it with the passage of years. But now 1t is revealed that blue grass grown in Ohio is being sold throughout the world as Kentucky blue grass

Japan's Problem,

Baroness Shiduze Ishimoto of Japan, ad- dressing the International Congress of Women, spoke frankly about the poverty of her country, of its tremendous population problem and the threat to the western world in the conditions she revealed. She believes that neither imperialism nor emigration will help her people. Settlement in Man. ehuria, for example. cannot solve the problem. While couple of thousand Jap anese eonlonizing that region the total pop ulation of the empire was increased by more than 100000.
 The birth rate in Japan last year was 3z.e2 per 1000. an increase over the year before and the highest national rate in the wosld. The death rate decreased in the game year, partly because of fall in infant mortality and partly because there were no

Two Prices Needed For
 Barber Shops

Editor The Democrat:
 am a man who loves to enjoy q shave in a barber shop because I do not like to use q razor. My father wore long whiskers-called a beard because that was tho style. Whiskers and boards are now taboo. That makes shaving some item in my household budget. l shave in mushroom barber shop" on one of the side streets because cannot afford to pay more than fifteen cents for Q shave and thirty-five cents for a haircut. have not been able to patronize the tonsorial emporiums in the center of Waterbury, since was married, not being able to pay twenty-five cents for a shave and fifty cents for q haircut; since that is the price they charge besides the tips, and having to provide meal tickets for the family have.
 That's why am putting into the barber's war, because l am iIl- volved. Twenty-Five years ago re- member the barbers in Waterbury were fighting, and they're still fighting. While this war is going on I can't balance my budget and that makes me mad!
 The big barbers- m eaning the ones who shave Yale graduates. judges, sheriffs, doctors, lawyers, and facory magnates and the ones who belong to the upper crust want to close up the side street barber shops unless they raise their price to twenty-five cent slaves and fifty cent haircuts, as that way they think they can compel the entire population to pay their price.
 Just imagine what that would mean to Q man like me, who has only twelve dollars week to keep up a family of wife and six boys whos6 hair grows faster than the grass on Library park!
 pride myself on the freedom we are allowed to enjoy under the Constitution of this land of the free. To me that means that the only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, 50 long as we do not attempt to deprive others of their freedom or impede their efforts to try to make a live ing.
 Liberty is worth whatever the country is worth. It is by liberty that . man has q country. It is by liberty he has rights. That Is what we fought for in the World War. When the biz barbers want to pre-

serious epidsmics In land with limited tillabIe area. the food supply of such swiftly growing population becomes seri- ous matter.
 Statisticians expect the birth rate to slow down within two decades because the mar riage age in Japan is rising. In the mean, time that nation faces trouble aplenty. It is little wonder that she reaches out frantieally for other territory and resources and for new export markets. It is tragic. however. that the group in authority has chosen to try such expensive. dangerous and ultimately futile ways to expand its markets and solve it's problems. Other nations might be more sympathetic and helpful if Japan were not so warlike in its time of need.

The Italian Ministry of Aeronauties is putting into effect a good ordinance, It has deereed that when the engine of an airplane shall have given 1000 hours of air service it shall be removed for inspection. If it fails to pass this inspection it must be abandoned. If it passes the test, then it may be continued in service for length of time equal to one-tenth of the original time allotment, That's sense for you, unless we are mistaken. and we confess to little or no knowledge of airplanes But why limit it to airplanes7 How about the engines on automobiles? Maybe we'll advance to the point where we'll demand for safety's sake similar precautions in this field and compel owners to guarantee to the efficiency of their machines after definite mileage has been passed

Jobs And Living Wage

One after another the industrial codes are drought to Washington and slipped into place. and as the framework of new so- +cety is thus being erected, piece by piece, we who stand on the sidelines can only pray that the thing is going to work smoothly when it is finished. Back of all the nego- tiations. arguments and maneuverings which are producing these codes there looms one great fact - Our economic system can sur vive in recognizable form only if the whole population of the country is kept pretty steadily at work at living wage. It IS recognition of this fact that has led an essentially conservative community to em- s bark on an experiment which would have seemed, to most people. the height of radi- cal folly as recently as year ago. And 1t is only by keeping this fact constantly be- fore our eyes that we shall be able to make go of the program now being attempted.
 All of our fine talk about economics, CO., operation, price levels and all the rest comes down to that, in the end. People have got to have jobs, and the jobs have got to pay them enough SO that they can buy the things that they produce. Unless we find some way of accomplishing that our event. ual collapse seems certain. Viewed in this light the administration program is clearly the very essence of conservatism. Nothing less than what is now being tried could have been attempted. The old system must be modified at least as greatly as the new deal' modfies it if it is to survive at all A good many years ago Abraham Lincoln warned that the nation could not continue to exist half slave and half free. Both the com promisers and the die-hards tried to find way of getting around that unpleasant truth. and the disaster of the Civil War was the result
 Today we are facing the fact that the nation cannot continue to exist half pros- porous and half destitute. There is one way out and only one: to provide jobs at de- cent wages. to keep purchasing power level with production. If we let ourselves get frightened by the experiment we are mak- ing. or if we let rising prices fool us into the belief that times are going to correct themselves without our help, we shall be riding for fall just as cataclysmic as the one the nation took in 1861.

Huge Exemptions

Addressing the annual convention of governors. being held in California this year. Governor Wilbur L. Gross stressed the fact that states are losing large amounts in taxes through exemptions granted to religious and educational institutions and to hospitals and sanatoria. He placed the annual figure as approximating S250.ooo.0o0. While that does seem trife large it isn't as bad as it seems and no cause for alarm. we think. At the past session of the Legislature an effort was made to prove that Yale University had large property holdings escaping taxation which should be taxed. If we're not mis- taken even Governor Cross took hand in this argument.
 At any rate when the facts were all known it was clear that while Yale may be exempt to the extent of thousands of dollars taxa ton, it also pays the city of New Haven perhaps the largest tax bill of any other in- dividual or corporation. As to the value ot the university to the city and state that IS hard to calc.ate. Suffice it to say that it is ] worth every penny of the total amount Of exemption. And we can only say the same for other institutions that may possess tax exempt property. In practically every in- stance they save the state thousands in some way.
 Furthermore if list of tax exempt prop erty were being compiled it might be found that the state is as large an offender as any individual or corporation. It owns institu- tions in every county. It has now, extensive forest and park holdings scattered widely over a large area. all of which land IS not returning cent in revenue to the township in which located. But that does not lead us to demand taxation on such property. It serves such good purpose, as do other forms of tax-exempt property. that the re- turns even the loss in taxes. Doubtless this demands. as the governor says. change in our t3x structure. But before this comes, let jp; have real efforts to force delinquents into wline. Perhaps that can be accomplished by lower taxes. But lower taxes mean less gov- ernment Is this the real crux of the situa- non?

New Barber Laws Work
 Hardship

The Editor, Waterbury Demo- crat: Dear Sir: The newly enacted state law curtailing the working hours of barber shops places me in q position which believe is typi- cal of the majority of men at my trade. Operating, as do, neigh borhood shop, and working alone, I find that as a result of the short ness of the working day, 1t is now impossible to make a living wage. After residing In this country a cit- izen for forty-two years, am faced with the inevitable necessity of turning to charity for the SUD- port of my self and wife. and fam fly of eight children.
 The character of the neighbor- hood in which my shop, and with out a doubt the majority of shops in the state, is located is such where the residents are factory employees, working until six o'clock or later evenings, and the bulk of my work was always done in the early evening hours. It is all too apparent that this legislation is born of jealousy and prejudice on the part of large downtown shops, employing a half dozen men, who never were obliged to work eve- nings, and have succeeded, by ini- tiating and backing such legisla- tion, in the attainment of their sole objective -- to cut down competi- tion! to make it impossible for the individual to remain at his trade. Advanced in years as I am, and as are most of us, we have nothing else to turn to.
 I say, the only fruits of the law are those as will benefit the man who is already Independent; 1t will crush scores or hundreds of family bread winners like myself. Tn the name of justice and mercy, we bes of you, we must insist that you reconsider this law!
 Will you be so kind as to inform me whether the restrictions in question are to be interpreted as meaning that I am restrained from cutting the hair of members of my family in the house on Sundays, and just how the hours will be ap- piled to private calls on invalid1 and cripples at their homes.
 Very truly yours,

vent the small barbers from charg- ing the poor people according to their means, that is no justice. and justice is the great end of civilized society, so that is what the bar ber's war is about. Just like the Chinese proverb says: "The big fish eat little fish, the little fish cuts the shrimps, and the shrimps eat the mud. Le the big barbers charge high prices to those who can pay them, and let the poor mans bar- Der charge him a price he can pay that is justice as understand 1t, and without justice for the hume blest citizen, no republic can lon9 endure, as Abraham Lincoln said.
 The mushroom shops are in the majority in Waterbury because they meet the popular demand. If the big barbers want to test their case let them ask our Mayor. Frank Hayes to act as referee!

Yesterday, although rainy, was gala day for St Christophers Roman Catholic church in Baldwin, Long Island. St Christopher is the patron saint of motorists and the feast of Good St Christopher was observed yes- terday. Blessing automobiles continued all day long at the church with its pastor and assisting priests officiating. The church was the first one, so far as we know, to intro- duce this practical application of prayer. And by the way the motorists thronged out to the church. despite the weather, it was apparent that faith is still alive.
