The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-28

Washington, Dec. 2S - Four teen years ago the last demo- cratic administration was near ing it's end. Today-the seventy seventh anniversary of the birth of Woodrow Wilson-sees a new democratic administration in the full flush of its power. How much is the new an inheri- tance from the old? To what extent has Woodrow Wilson left his impress on the New Deal? TIME WILL TELL
 The question is for historians to answer. But as an indication of the answer, there follows a check-up, on Wilson's official colleagues and the part they are playing in the New Deal.
 Wilson's Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Franklin ID. Roosevelt heads the government. His Sec retary of the Navy, JOsephus Daniels. is ambassador to Mex ico, an important diplomatic post but not important i'm steering the way to recovery.
 Wilson's Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue, Dan Roper, is secretary of commerce., but not a member of the inner Roosevelt council.
 Old Henry Morgenthau, Will sons ambassador to Turkey, is playing an indirect but important part in the new democracy through his son, the acting sec retary of the treasury.
 Barney Baruch, head of Will sons war industries board, still is playing on the outskirts of this, as of other administrations.
 William Gibbs McAdoo. Will sons son-in-law, and the most powerful man in the last demo- cratic cabinet, has cut out a powerful role for patronage as senator from California, but has nothing to say in moulding the policy of the New Deal.
 GONE AND FORGOTTEN
 A. Mitchell Palmer, the poor boy who got scared of the reds in the heyday of the old democ- racy, now is conducting a pros- porous law-lobbying office with his main mission in life that of trying to do business with the reds of the brain trust.
 Ex-POstmaster. General Bur- leson has been more or less lost in the state of Texas; but wherever he is it is a safe bet he is still carrying an umbrella. Tom Gregory, Wilson's attorney general, also has settled down to a peaceful and uneventful ex- istcnce in Texas.
 William B. Wilson, former secretary of labor, is living quietly in Pennsylvania. Joe Tumulty, once 3 great power as Wilson's secretary, is running a. lucrative Washington law prac- tice.
 BAKER BUSY
 Newton D. Baker, one of the strongest men in Wilson's cab inet, is busy practicing corpora tion law and has no influence or interest in the Roosevelt admin istration. Bainbridge Colby, for a brief interval secretary of state, is in the same category. So also is David F. Houston, Wilson's secretary of the treas ury and of agriculture. Houston now is busy attending directors meetings of American Telephone and Telegraph, Delaware and Hudson R. R., the United States Steel corporation and other out fits which fight Roosevelt to the last ditch.
 It takes Carter Glass, how- ever, to get the prize for oppo- sitiOn. Wilson's secretary of the treasury, describes the New Deal

Q. How old is Senator William Gibbs McAdoo of California? A. Seventy.
 Q. What is weighted silk? A. Silk yarn or cloth is soaked in an aqueous solution of stannic chloride and then washed exhaus- lively with water to precipitate hy- drated stannic oxide: then the weighted silk is soaked in solu- tion of sodium phosphate and the
 stannic oxide, already present in the fiber, is rendered insoluble in the solution of stannic oxide chlor- I idle, and so with each repetition of the same series of operations, a
 further quantity of stannic oxide is | fixed in the silk which may be treated finally with a solution of sodium silicate. The mineral mat
 ter, beside adding weight, makes
 the fibers somewhat thicker, thus increasing their covering power and | allowing cheaper goods to be made | of weighted than of unweightcd silk. M

Selected Poem
CITY OF MAN


 (By Max Press in The New
 York Times) Against the. night imponderable thick with enduring stars, The city spends itself in golden crowns of towers A mirage of peace and grace with Z wraiths of drifting wind-blown smoke, M The sum of dream and agony and sweated hours. Mans need of bread and beauty wrought in granite and in fire Turns to the dark its desperate bid for Life and light, Assailing loneliness and, Death with something like a cry Wrung from the hearts of those that labor in the night. Drunk with dream of perman- ence it's radiance is cast, Dazed with a fever it spawns the tower and the mart. O life of toll and beauty girt With sadness and a doom. City of Man with rain and ruin ir your heart.

Germany has come to the point where she is demanding the return of all colonies that she lost on account of the World war; We don't for moment believe this re- quest will be granted, but it only goes to show the under-current of feeling in the country right now. The Germany of post war days has been swallowed by new nation. Demands imposed by aggressor nations are not frightening Germany any more. No doubt she is busily engaged Ill preparing herself for further conflicts. Somehow or other it will always be her birthright to wage war. But we are afraid that if she takes the initiative this time the reception will not be as well re- ceived as was her assault in the early days of 1914-15. We're ready to allot Ger many her proper place in the world, but not to restore all she lost by war.

With an estimated 5000 clark" thea ters in the country legislators are going to face barrage of pleas for the dropping of amusement taxes next year. The claims are already being filed with New York agency heads prominent among those pro- testing. One agency which sells at cut rates claims that it is taxed for the face value of the ticket, although it retails it to the customer at practically half price. We'll, if theater ticket taxes are lifted, then the theatrical producers will have to keep pace by reducing prices. The ad- missions to legitimate shows have dropped some of recent months, but only because of falling off in attendance. But tickets for the popular shows rarely can be secured at box offices and when bought from agencies or ticket brokers, command prices double and treble their face value. We wonder if Uncle Sam collects double and treble the amusement tax in this ln- stance. In view of the fact that he gets full tax when the ticket is sold below it's par, he certainly ought to get prem ium when it commands more than it's face value. Can you imagine the yells of con- sternation this would produce from the brokers?

Under the terms of the will of the late Theodore Moses Tobani his musical library and instruments are left to his son. We don't suppose the name means much to the average person, unless he or she has had good musical education and IS familiar with the names of composers. Tobani wrote that famous piece, Hearts and Flowers,' to the strains of which more daughters have left the family homestead with the fathers curse upon them. You probably heard Hearts and Flowers the first time you went to show. It's always associated with Amer ican melodramas, at least it is in this writer's memory.

The MIRA Blanket

In one way the crucial period of the MIRA is past The industries have nearly all been brought under permanent" codes of fair competition, effective for another year. And on the whole, they seem recon ciled. Industries and businesses far more numerous, but representing only 50 per cent of all employees, have not yet got their permanent codes worked out. They are, therefore, asked by the President to continue under the blanket code" for four months longer. By that time 1t IS hoped to have them all operating under individual codes Continuation under the Blue Eagle during this interval may not have the force of law, technically, but 1t IS unlikely that many of the groups con cerned will refuse the Presidents "invl- tation."
 It is these little fellows under one blan- ket, as a rule, upon whom the NRA re- uuirements have borne hardest, and who therefore have shown most dissatisfaction with the new rules. There is a good deal of sympathy for them, with the public ana also, it may be assumed, with the admin istration. Every industrial and commer- cial group has to have an agreement suit ed in detail to it's own special needs. The recovery administration should now be able to give them the time and attention they deserve Wisely dealt with, they may come to acquiesce in the new competitive system as fully as giant industries like steel, coal and motors.

Health Dept Gives
Three Resolutions
With Teeth In Them
DIR. Richard Leonard Cites
Worthwhile Suggestions For
Care Of Teeth

If you failed to make certain worth
while resolutions at the beginning of
1888, don't wait until next year to
make them, is the advice of DR.. Rich
ard C. Leonard, Chief of the Division
of Oral Hygiene of the Maryland
State Department of Health. "There
are many resolutions worth making
and keeping" DR.. Leonard said, "for
the sake of ones health, in which
postponement may be dangerous.
Three that make for mouth health
are:
1. To include in your diet those
foods that protect against tooth decay
and other mouth diseases.
2. To visit your dentist at least
twice yearly for mouth examination
and the necessary correction of de-
fects.
8. To cleanse the mouth properly
at least twice daily.
"The foods we eat make for or
against mouth health. But protection
through diet does not demand rare,
expensive and unpalatable foods. All
that is required is an adequate sup
ply of the mineral salts and vitamins
found in dairy products, whole grain
cereals, green leafy vegetables, and in
fresh fruit juices. In addition, sun
light and cod liver oil are needed by
the growing child. Your doctor will
advise you in regard to the amount of
cod liver oil required.
"The resolution regarding semi-an-
nual dental visits should include a
second one to lock upon dental exami-
nations and treatment as preventives
of possible i'll health rather than as
unpleasant ordeals. Regular dental
visits or early ones Cat the very first
sign of pain) will eliminate the too
common and unfair dread of the den
lists office.
"a resolution to keep the mouth
clean should be started by learning
how best to do so. Ask your dentist
how you should clean your teeth. Do
not base your resolution to keep your
mouth and teeth clean and healthy on
faith in any particular tooth paste.
Resolve to spend the time necessary
twice daily for the proper mouth
cleansing, SO universally recognized as
one of the important factors of mouth
health.
"a fourth resolution is perhaps the
most important. That is, to resolve to
keep the other three throughout 1888
and the years to come. If you failed
to make these resolutions on New
Years Day, make them now. HerT
does not recognize holidays. A
is good day to make heat
tions."
