The
CAPITAL
-By JOHN sNURE JR.

The complacence of Charles
("Fuzzy') O'Donnell has been
disturbed.
On the night Of October IA
his new car was stolen. Fuzzy
told the police.
The other afternoon, two
weeks later, a garage man
called the ODonnell home,
asked If he might have the job
of repairing Fuzzy's car, and
was advised that it had been
stolen. He said he was aware
of the fact, but declared it was
parked in front of the Second
police precinct.
Fuzzy called the station. A
clerk went out and looked, re-
turned, and said:
"There is something out
front that looks like q mush-
rOOm!"
1t was Fuzzy's car. It had
been recovered the same night
it was stolen, had been badly
smashed, but he had not been

Mess Business Sections

The board of trade in city that has suf- fcred much from the disorderly appearance of it's business section is undertaking to clean up its principal business thoroughfare, once famous for its beauty Business. following it far uptown. has played havoc with il. Its appearance is dsgraceful.' says one of the reformers. For long distance it is hodge -podge of bad-looking signs and pla- cards and small shanties set at various angles until it makes the whole district look run down. Doubles hundreds of thouSands oi dollars a year are lost in depreciation values and in lessened trade. There is no sense in permitting people to do just as they please with properties."
 I he cleaners-up propose 10 sweep away the ugly mess of signs. 10 set back small restaurant buildings and automobile park ing lots, and to establish standards for such things in the future. They will work at first with tenants. seeking voluntary acton but if necessary will invoke Zonn2 laws. Here is a movement which ought to be ex- tended 10 almost every city in America. Few of us realize how ugly unregulated business makes our business sections. until we pause and take a good look. or return after an absence. It's really almost as easy 10 be orderly and beautiful as messy and ugly and much more pleasant and profitable

WHAT, ARrHI,ITIs AND NO DIET?

A long while ago l started to enumeratc Fallacieg We Reuct to Kelinquish, conhnlhR my survey, of course to the provinces ot hehI,h and sick ness and after had dealt hipphnt'y yet scientifically with q score Or more or them began to feel lonesome and quietly dlscontn- | ued tho series. Nobody ever regretted It either like 10 increase tho enlightenment or readers even If have to nllenatc their anec- lions to do NO. This is not altrulstic I'm just trying to save myself bootlcss work and trou- ble. So ] take great pleasure ln announcing that go far aB this column fs concerned we arc hereby rclinquishing the fallacy that chronic arthritls (rhcufnntism to you, old fogcs) calls for some kind of diet.
 Beyond argument the physician should lay down specific instructions about tho diet In many cases of chronic hrthritis. But if and when the doctor prescrlbca fl diet. if 1t is mol suited precisely to the particular rcqnrcmcnts of the patient it isn't worth the price myself or even intelligent office boy, can hand you cut and dried, hand me down diet list lot of interesting Rencrhlities about what we should or should not eat. The office boy can or self styled food specialist can. and darn bight more chchply.
 If you are rnttIing around in your head an idcn that rcd meats, uric acid or foods that leave hn acid ash have something to do with arthritis please let nc know who told you eO and I'll zee if We can find out how that funny notion got started. Certainly no phy- slcian or other person of scientific training hhrbore supports the notion. I'm talking of to-day. We arc not interested in ancient history.
 Both in theory and in practice it seems rcas- onhblc enough 10 believe that in many cases of chronic nrthrits digtinct and lasting benefit k derived from correcting errors in the diet and especially overenting. Most persons who eat more than they can profitably metabolizc sin chiefly in the consumption Of carboby- drhtcs, and therefore it ie the carbohydrates that must Dc fcstrctcd.
 Most carbohydrate deIcctabcs, from bread to 'iasscs, being manufactured. or composed of refined materials. arc poor in mineral salts and poor in Vitaminh.
 Very well. then, while we're af 1t we had batter contrivc to provide more mineral salts and more ytanins for the overn0urshcd in- diyiduaPa diet
 Perhaps some of the bright boys and girls in tho audience have already guessed what this bnllyhoo is leading up 10, Right The Correct I've Protective Diet Mind. though, do not offer 1t for chronic arthritis. The regimen is intended to meet the needs of many older boys and girls who, after 36, have insldlously acquired greater grth, digestive trouble, dry skin, dull heavy eyes, dlsincination to work or play perhaps high blood pressure and in- clpient hardening of the arteries. If fl touch of "rhcumntiz' accompanies this or takes the place of any Of the evidence of dcgcnerative change mentioned, .all tbs better. Send in your dime and stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for instructions for fol- lowing the Corrective, Protective Regimen, or booklet "rhe Ills Called Hheumatism'.

One-Chamber Legislatures

l here IS movement Tn Ohlo To amend . the slaic Constitution by providing single legislative chamber. leaving only thc house of representatives. Instead of the senate there would be Legislative council con- sls,n2 of one member for every congressional district in the state. serving for four years whose function would be 10 hold sessions at regular intervals through the year and prepare legislation 10 submit to ihe house. I bus much of tl1e preliminary work of leg slation would be done before thc legislature met. and it would be able to function more promptly and effectively The advocates of the plan promise more intelligent delib- craion on bills and more finished legislative product.
 The elumsine1s of our present legislative machinery in the states is generally feco2- nized. And there may be no reason in the nature of things. of in the requirements of the work. why every one of ihe 4S states should feel obliged 10 maintain lhe same elaborate legislative machinery as the federal government with all the legislative processes doubled and the two houses often deadlocked, Even al Washington the system docsn work any too well. No private corporation would use il. Yet there is no fed9on to ex- poet such a radical change. at least for many years.

Defiance For Lobbies

A Senate paige lost his post because he wrote an article in which he mentioned brb- cry and senators in the same sentence. He would have been on ground safer for hIm- self and perhaps less answerable by senators if be had discussed legislative Hobbies Rep resentative Johnson of South Dakota. upon his recent voluntary retirement from Con" gress, discussed Hobbies and their alarming effectiveness in Washington They began in a perfectly legitimate expression of opinion and approval on tbe part of citizens favor ing certain legislation In it's carly and justl- fable stage the citizens relied entirely on their powers of persuasion for success. They were not organized or powerful as groups and did not bring undue pressure 10 bear.
 I Today the lobby is highly organized and effective. IL relics on coercion and intimi- dation 10 achieve its purpose. In effect 1t threatens to get the legislator who ignores it's orders. There are few strong and we'll financed Hobbies in Washington. heir meth ods are copied by dozens of less powerful groups Legislators need not be intimldated by even the most powerful lobby It would be possible for the eongressman or state leg islator so threatened by any lobby to chal- len2e it's power by direct appeal 10 hIs constituents. If he told them the facts. de- fled the lobby and acted according 10 bis honest convictions for tbe good of the pub lie, the voters would respond effectively Doubles it takes courage and what William Penn called 'publick Minds' To do tbis.

"Sinister Alliance"

Governor Cross did not mince matters in his address from WIIC Monday night in requesting inc people of the state To back him in bis stand on thc question of liquor con trol. As the governor sees the situation there is desperate effort being made in Con neetcut To restore the old Order of lbln2s hefc whereas thc more modern viewpoint on liquor control is to vest all such authority directly in the state. The proposal that commission of three be appointed 10 handle liquor affairs bad hardly been made when there was hostile expression of opinion. Governor Cfos5 terms u "lbls sinister allI- ance."
 1t is our own personal belief that this ap- peal of Governor Gross is going 10 result in such an outpouring of public opinion tbat those who contemplate oycfthrowin2 every recommendation of the liquor commission will be defeated in short order. Despite all the political influence tbat may be brought to bear in the Legislature this body cannot in the long run go contrary 10 pubic opIn- ion where it is voiced and voiced again. We recall two years ago that an effort Was made 10 appropriate three-quarters of million dollars for state park in Fairfield county. IL was squeched by public opinion voiced in the press of thc state. The same thing IS happening now
 The press of ,be state is behind Governor Cross 100 per cent in his latest plea. And while this might not result in a defeat for 'this sinister alliance" we do think that lt will go far in orystalIzIn2 public opinion and securing the cooperation of sufficient legislators 10 prevent any steal being per petuated upon the state. lt ls quite apparent that a three manned commission 10 handle liquor permits etc. is going to be adopted ultimately II il doesn't we predict utter chaos for Connecticut in its liquor transac- lions We know that many a county com missioner did excellent work in days gone by in handling this work. but t is now evident that serious attempt 10 undermine this office and place it in the control of liquor interests will be made. We certainly want none of that. We won't have il unless the people of this state fail the governor. We solicit their support.

Michigan Shows the Way

Michigan showed the way to other states Monday by ratifying the amendment 10 re- peal prohibition. One hundred delegates nine of them were for repeal; one lone mem Der stood firm for the dry laws. He was gv- en vote of thanks by the entire assemblage for bis gentlemanly conduct and Courteous deportment." In the face of ninety mine op- ponents we think he could not have acted otherwise but that. He showed rare wisdom and marked display of Caution.
 The actual convention was short. The delegates assembled quietly and organized in busnesslike manner. A call for vote on the question of ratification or rejection of the proposed amendment was issued and in s few seconds the go in favor had recorded themselves as such. The result vii. be com municated to the Secretary of State at Wash ington where it will be joined in due time. we hope. by at least thirty five other favor able actions. just enough to guarantee re- peal of the 18th amendment.
 Other states should follow in Mchigans wake. There was little furry there over the question of calling state convention. And judging by the results there need be no uneasiness in any circles that the conventions will result in deadloeks. It appears that where there is a decided trend of sentiment in state it will be brought out in a prepon- derantly one-sided delegation. Connecticut can be expected to do as Michigan did. We will hold our convention this summer and may we suggest that the offer of David A. Wilson. chairman of the democratIc state central committee be accepted by all concern cd.
 Mir Wilson points out tbat both demo- erlts and republicans who favor repeal should avail themselves of existing or2sniza- tons 10 further their cause. Keeping this in mind he offers the resources of the demo- cratic party. which is on record as favorIn2 repeal. 10 the wet groups of the state 90 that their task of selecting delegates in the thirty five senatorial districts may be made bit easier We don't doubt but what similar offer may be made by the republicans from their Atatc headquarters. Inasmuch as both parties arc committed 10 repeal 1t would seem as if this would be one time when both could get together on common ground and unite their divided jntcrcsts.

DANBUI,Y,s EXCEPTIONS
(Nsw Britain IieraId)

It is worth considering tho con tentions Of Dnnbury against the plan 10 eliminate the stnto norman school in that city and provide Il teachers college in place or the state normal in New Britain.
 Says the Danbury Ncws:
 "Thc pretcxt upon which this college Of grandeur would Dc crcht- . cd is that the towns now hire hi.h school teachers educated in ous' side colleges. The state gets teach CTS without having to pay Tor thcif cducntiOn.'
 Evidently the Danbury critics of the plan believe 1t q good thing that tho state "gets teachers without having to pay for their educatlon.' But 1t is overlooked, apparently. that fees will Dc charged for their education at the teachers college. True, tho proposed fees may not cover the cost Of tuition; but n subsequent years they can be made to fit cost ns experience dictnteE.
 If the Danbury contention is re- gardcd as logical. then It applies to the entire system of elementary teacher training. which has cost the state the maintenance or four state normal schools. Why should the state go to this expense. for in- stance, when other states having normal schools could fully supply the Connecticut demand for ele- mcntary tenchers7 There appears 10 be q surplus in all ncighborin. states, and if the DaDbury notion were followed. Connecticut could absorb this surplus. or part of it. and save itself the present expense
 our humble guess is that Few cit- izens of the state would counte. nance such economy, mcthon which would curtaii teaching op' portunities to native daughters.
