for Your Radio
Service Experts Urge
Inspection.

Despite the fact that the radio in
dustry has developed an instrument
as nearly foolproof as an electrical
device can be, recognized radio deal
ers recommend an occasional inspec-
ton just to insure the maintenance
Of uniformly good reception.
Most every one knows, or has had
experience with radios which were
attached to their aerials the moment
they came from the store, plugged
into the electric socket, and have
never given any trouble after that.
Such performance is common
with only the occasional replace
ment of a tube necessary to keep
the set performing properly year
after year.
Nevertheless, like motor car, the
radio deserves an occasional inspec-
ton.
And for that purpose, ajOr deal
ers maintain highly skilled service
stats made up Of men who keep
abreast of the rapid progress in
radio, men who are experts in their
field, who know the ills of a radio
as intimately and professionally as
the doctor knows the ailments Of
human body.
Radio service men form almost a
profession.
There is a radio service mems Or
ganization at meetings of which lat
est developments in radio are dis
cussed and clinics on inspection and
repair are held.
Don't condemn a set because you
are not satisfied with it's perform
ance. Have a service man check 1t
for you.

Radio Telephony
Achieves Privacy

Popularity of the new all-wave
radio sets has prompted the ques-
ton, how can people who use radio
telephony be assured of privacy in
their conversations?
Though some of the all-wave stes
are capable of picking up the radio
telephony conversation between ship
and shore and between different
countries, it will come through those
sets as so much hashed sound.
Not because of any fault in the
receiving set but because the pre-
caution has been taken through the
development of the speech inverter,
to scramble conversation over radio
telephony in manner that can
permit of its being unscrambled only
by receiving station specially de-
signed for that purpose.
Thus is privacy achieved.

Adolph Hitler, leader of all the

often. Mussolini, the dictator OF

Vatican City, the home of the

When King George of England
wants to talk to his far-t1ung SUBJ
jects of the British empire, short
wave is brought into play.
1t is because of such things as
these that the all-wave radio OF
1885 is looked upon as an instru-
ment which will revOlutionize the
industry and in itself make history
because of its ability to get for
eign stations as well as domestic
standard broadcast.

Radio Diet

One RADIO manufacturer has
brought out a device for pre-

the day.
It is a control which auto

decided you want to hear dur
ing the period of time covered.
Just set it in advance and
forget about it.
The device will do the rest
of the work for you.

The Reason Why

The New Britain Herald claims that Fairfield county stands in the way of q state income tax in Connecticut. Fairfield has been accused of many things lately, so she probably can stand this latest one. However, there is so much truth in the claim that it can't be denied. It isn't the county, so far as physical outline is con- cerned, that makes our legislators pause and think twice before authorizing the state income tax, it's the many wealthy residents whose homes are in Fairfield, but whose businesses are in New York city.
 They have abandoned their former homes in New York for the simple rea- son that they did not care to have the state income tax saddled upon them. In Connecticut they are free from this added burden. That's one of the reasons, we presume, that Fairfield county is making such plans for the future. It hopes to be- come the first planned county in New England Before long it will boast ten to fifteen million dollar parkway. Eventu- ally it will be icriss-crossed with many parkways, so that the motorist emerging from Westchester county will never real ize he has left New York state.
 The editor of the Herald compares Con- necticut with Florida in trying to lure wealthy residents into it's midst by ban ming the state income tax. Of course we are nearer to New York and it's natural to pick your year-round home near your place of business. Other than sleeping and sporting in the state, when the weather permits, these tax evaders i'll actuality contribute little or nothing to Connecticut life save their taxes. Perhaps they consider that sufficient unto itself in view of the fact that they themselves have come within our midst. . By the time this influx of New Workers has worked itself into all western Con- 1aecticut there'll be little chance of secur- ing income tax legislation. Not that we're sure such measure could be passed right now. To date there's been as much kick ing about one from the man who was born and bred in old Connecticut as the stranger in our midst. And there will continue to be until our tax officials real ize that what we want in the way of re- vision is one that aims downward and not merely shift, the burden moving from one shoulder to the other.

Sales Up

Department store sales are as good an index as any for the general trend of busi- ness, because they register consuming pow CT over so broad field of merchandise. The figures for last month are impressive. As compiled by the Federal Reserve Board for the whole country, they show a gain of A per cent over March of last year and the highest level since April two years ago. They surpass the record for the brief boom that came early last summer, and are still mounting.
 These figures agree with those of the American Federation of Labor for the esti- mated buying power of workers. They evil dently represent the buying power of all classes. That is the way business should advance-as uniformly as possible on all fronts.
 There is special assurance now of con- tinued progress because of the widespread raising of wages in compliance with the presidents request. We may be coming again into period when it will not be necessary to make such wage requests, be- cause greater demand for labor and rising profits will bring good wages by natural processes

HISTORY

The Coe Brass Company of Tor rington, The Waterbury Brass Company and the Ansonia Brass and Copper Company comprised the American Brass Company, in 1899. The first officers were Charles F. Brooker, president; A. A. Cowles. first vice-president; James s. Elton second vice-pres- ident, and John P. Elton, secretary and treasurer. The American Brass was the outgrowth of the original Waterbury Brass, and now ranks as the largest brass concern in the world.
 The American Brass Company became an operating company in 1912, its subsidiary companies, the Ansonia Brass and Copper Com- pany, the Benedict and Burnham Manufacturing Company and the Waterbury Brass Company. At this time it controlled the Chicago Brass Company of Kenosha, Wis, the Waterbury Brass Goods Cor poration and the Ansonia Land and Water Power Company. At this time 1t became the largest single brass concern in the country. Later expansions and factories added were in Toronto, Buffalo. Detroit, with branch offices in New York and elsewhere, the main off, ces on Meadow street in this city.

amined at the internal revenue office upon application.
 The object is to give the public a chance to check up on taxpayers suspected of hold ing out on the government. If there must be any such double-checking, this is better than the old plan, which merely allowed publicity for the amount of tax paid. Tie actual payment in itself means little, and may be wrongly interpreted, because one citizen with good income may have low exemptions, while another may have heavy taxes, interest and losses to deduct.
 The whole business, in any form, is "nosey", and therefore unpopular among income tax payers. But it could be en- dured for the sake of more honest reports and fairer collections, if there is no other way.

No More Isolation

If it did nothing else, the labor dispute at Detroit gave all of us an object lesson in the solidarity of our modern industrial civilization. This solidarity is thing which has come upon us in spite of our selves We didn't will it; most of the time we have hardly so much as thought about it.
 It took the discovery that strike of auto makers in Michigan could tie up the entire national recovery program to make JUS realize that it exists And the fact that it does exist is bound, sooner or later, to make a profound change in our method of running our society.
 We have talked great deal, in these 1900 years, about the brotherhood of man; but so far we have treated the idea as the Levite treated the man who fell among thieves we have looked at it respect fully and then passed by on the other side.
 Now we are being forced to discover that this is an idea which, in the sheerest self-defense, we must turn into working reality. We may not feel like brothers but we must act like them. Are we our brothers keepers? We might as we'll be, for he is ours.
 When an argument between the work CTS and bosses in few Detroit factories can threaten to disrupt the recovery pro- gram of the entire United States can imperil the happiness, the security, the very livelihood, that is to say, of rubber workers in Ohio and textile operatives in North Carolina and machine shop en- ployes in Rhode Island and lead miners in Colorado - then the complete and ines capable interdependence of the people of the nation is too plainly demonstrated to admit of any more argument.
 We no longer have any "local' troubles. You may live in California or New Hamp- shire; industrial relations in Michigan are painfully direct concern of yours. Something has happened to us, while we have been arguing and disputing. It is high time that we realized it. We are ali in the same boat nowadays; no one can rock it without disturbing all of us.

Very shortly the state park and forest commission expects to have force of 75 men at work at Sherwood Island making this shore front park more accessible to the general public. Every time we read of new developments at this spot we cant help but review it's History. It has been one of almost constant litigation. How many people realize that the Sherwood Island tract was the first acquired in Connecticut for state park purposes? Yet it hasn't been until the last two or three years that the general public has been al- lowed to frequent it. This was due to two or three reasons, the main one being the objections raised by adjacent property owners to the use of this section of the shore for public property. Every means possible has been attempted to prevent it's utilization. The Legislature almost ap- propriated over half million dollars to buy a new site farther south, so that the Sherwood Island land might be aban- doned Fortunately the plan was nipped by public opinion. Since then there has been a steady advance in the program of expansion at Sherwood Island. This spring EZRA support will enable boule- ward to be built along the waterfront It will extend 5000 feet and be 40-feet wide. Rights of way have been secured for all but a short distance. As soon as funds are made available this land will be ac- quired.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
A Graphic Picture Of Nazi Injustice

"The Oppermanng." by Lion Feuchtwanger, is probably the best of the many novels recently writ ten to describe what Hitler's ac- cession to power in Germany meant to the German Jews.
 It indulges in no hysterical screaming and it is not simply a case history of atrocities. It recog- nizes the fact that revolutions are not kid-glove affairs, that pre-Hit- Ter Germany was under an unen- durable pressure, and that many Jews to-day go about tho streets of Berlin unmolested.
 But because of its very modera- tion, 1t puts all the more emphasis
 on the stupidity and the barbarism | involved in the anti-Semitic pro- gram of the Nazis.
 Feuchtwanger presents us with
 typical upper-class Jewish family in Berlin, the Oppermanns. One ness, another is a writer, the third | people of culture, German to the
 core and intensely proud of it. The storm comes-and for all | InaL they see IL COHiihS, iI Sdhes them by surprise. They cannot be. lieve that mass prejudice and ig. norance can gain the upper hand | in goth century Germany. l The business man does not real ize it until his son is driven to sui- eide by Nazi schoolmaster; ths doctor doesn't until storm troopers drag him from the bedside of patient; the writer doesn't unti | he is forced to flee to Switzerland for his life.
 In the story of this family there lis a better translation into human terms of the tragedy of present day Germany than in any oshel book I have seeil.
