HISTORY

At this period of which we are writing, about the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century, dancing was not excluded in the social life of the people. Balls, we read in An derson's history, were held in the .'state room of the tavern" in some places, while some residences had bathrooms. An instance is cited of a ball that was given by David Hayden, esquire, of this place, at his residence on East Main street about where the old Immaculate Conception church stood. The fac- simile of the invitation Is reproduce cd in Anderson's history and reads thus: Quarter ball-Mr. James Har- rison is respectfully solicited to att tend a ball at D. Hayden's ball room on Wednesday, February 5th., 1872, at 9 o'clock D. m. It is sign CT by four managers and the date is in the lower left hand corner. This original invitation was in the possession of Mrs. s. b. Harrison. It is interesting to note the hour, z D. m. at which the ball was to start.
 Dances of that day were of the contre-d dance type or figure dances, which to this day are still danced in certain rural sections. There were periods in Waterbury's history when the custom of dancing was not regarded with approval, but generally 1t was adopted as social adyantage and an addition to man. ners and department.

Does This Mean The End

The end of the Roraback regime in Connecticut politics seems to be at hand when the name of States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn of Hartford county is suggest ed as the gubernatorial candidate on the republican ticket for this fall. Of course, it has been freely predicted in all circles that MT Roraback would probably exert little or no lnflu- ence at the party conventions thls year, but we never thought that such change in affairs would include the nomination of favorite candidate of that triple threat which went down before Roraback- ian guile and skill some years back, we refer to the Ullman-King- -Healy machine.
 There is much talk of Cross-Alcorn fight this fall. We wouldn't care to pre- dict this, because as yet Governor Cross is rather silent on his plans. He may or may not run for office. The odds seem to be in favor of his retiring in favor ot some other candidates, say of the callbre of the congressman from the third dls- trict. Francis T. Maloney. Not that he is ready to retire from the political scene entirely. He probably won't give up hls right to be renominated (You can't very well overlook the fact that he carried hlS party to two distinct victories), unless something like a nomination for U 5. Senator is offered to him.
 Tn the event that Governor Cross steps out and Representative Maloney steps ln' there might be similar change in tactics on the part of the republicans. Iney might not run Alcorn against Maloney' but permit the nomination to go to the present lieutenant-governor, Roy C. WH- cox of Meriden. That would bring the unusual spectacle of two men from the same town seeking the governorshlp. we doubt if this has ever been paralleled 'h our state history. But judging by the way various republican subalterns are Jockey ing for position right now, it will be rather hard for Lieutenant Governor Wll- cnx to get the nomination. is likely to stay where he is or else lose his place entirely.
 There is a slim possibility, of course that it may be necessary for MT kofapach to exercise his benign influence upon the more impetuous republicans who are all for their strongest ticket in history to regain lost domains in the governor ol- flee and the State Senate. He is, you nust remember, still the chairman of the state central committee. It does not seem quite logical to this writer to suppose that he will confer the gubernatorial nomlna- tion on MT Alcorn when only lew years ago he managed to spike the movement to place the energetic Hartford county prosecutor in the Department of Justice down at Washington This fact ana others that have accumulated through the years of the Roraback influence cause us to believe that there'll be more fighting for the top place on the g.op. ticket th's fall than ever before in our memory. And that's double incentive to the democrats to get started now in strengthening out their lineup.

"Foolhardy" Pioneer

Walter Wellman died the other day at 75 years of age. He was the first man to trv to fly across the Atlantic ocean. and when he made the attempt the stunt was looked on as the ultimate in foolhardy daring. But he lived to see the numpef of those who have crossed the sea by ar rise far into three figures. It's com monplace to say that aerial science has developed rapidly in the last quarter century. One hardly realizes how true that saying is, however, until one glanccs at the career of man like Welman.
 It was on October 15, 1910, that MT Wellman started his projected transatlan- tic flight The takeoff was from Atlantic City; the ship was non-rigid dirlglblc' a clumsy and fragile affair 164 feet long, with gas bag capacity of 35O,OOO cubic feet. It compares with Macon or a Graf Zeppelin as one of Columbus cara yels compares with the Levlathan.
 Underneath the bag was sung life boat, stocked with provisions. Down lnto the seat trailed device called an "equl- librator'' - a series of cylindrical tanks which floated on the ocean, expected to act as sort of stabilizer, to keep the snip from rising too high in the air. Besides MT Wellman, five men were aboard. The LaKeOII WAS dL O III LilC lllOl Llhb' "S-'SJ four hours later - half of the first day having been spent repairing one of the two engines, which had quit cold - the dirigible had reached point some 25O miles northeast of it's starting point.
 The voyage had been excessively peril. ous. The hydrogen in the envelope cooled and contracted dangerously, nearly pitch ing the ship into the water. collision with steamer narrowly was averted. One of the engines exhaust pipes nearly set the bag on fire. The equilibrator, instead of working as expected, made the ship almost impossible to steer.
 Another 24 hours passed, and conditions became worse. The dirigible was some zoo miles out now, and it was pretty plain that Europe never would be reached. Preparations were made to take to the water in the lifeboat, but it was found impossible to launch t. Next morning.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
A Vivid Biography Of A Great Banker

"The First Billion" by John K. Wlnkler, is a vivid Journalistic biography of the elder James Still man, the tight-lipped genius who took the National City Bank of New Fork when it was just an- other hank and raised it to the top- most pinnacle of greatness. It is journalistic in the best sense. The journalist writes his tory bluntly and without frills. That is the way Mir Winkler has written this biography, and 1t IS a good one. Stillman, says MT Winkler, was one of the rst of the great rake off boys; those bankers who dis covered that finding an Industrial firm in need of funds offered a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor. He took over the National City | when 1t had resources of around $12,OOO,0OO, and made 1t the nrsl billion dollar bank on this side of | the Atlantic.
 All this money came from some where, of course, and MT WinkleI gives you glimpse of how 1t was done-and, in the process, tells some interesting bits of American history.
 He also gives a good portrait oi stillman himself; the autocratic passiohless man who disapporveo
 of his wife and coolly exiled hei to France for 25 years, declaring publicly that she was drug ad- dict, which she was not, forbiddinl their children to mention hei name.
 But Mir Winkler makes it cleai that the elder Stillman, for all his faults-his rapacity, his lack or social conscience--was at least
 banker. Not for him were the su' per r-salesman devices of the 1nef' fable Mitchell.
 He ran a bank, not promotion. al enterprise. and he ran 1t in lO(
 per cent fashion.
 All in all, this Is readable and entertaining book. Published by
 Vanguard, 1t is priced at $2.50.

providentially, steamer showed up. Sig naled by the dirigible, it came alongside, Wellman and his crew came aboard, and the dirigible was left to float out to sea. So ended the first transatlantic flight attempt.
 It took place less than 25 years ago. Since then, enormous dirigibles have crossed and recrossed the Atlantic times without number. Ocean flying is almost ready to play useful part in the every day life of the world. And a good part of the credit must go to daring, "fool- hardy" pioneers like Walter Wellman.

Washington, Feb 9.--Is Busi- ness dominating the MIRA or Is the NRA choking Business?
 That question to-day Is per- haps the most important asked of the Administrations Recov- cry Program. It is being asked by ogden Mills, who claims that business recovery is impeded by MIRA restrictions. It is being asked on Capitol Hill where Senators Borah, Nye and other progressive claim that the Blue Eagle flies along narrow course charted solely by Big Business.
 As a result, a critical lens is being applied to General John sons administrators. These are the men on the firing-line; men basically responsible for the writing of the codes governing the entire industry of the United States. General Johnson ap- proves the codes in the end. So also does the president. But their attention can be concen- trated only on a few of the major industries.
 KEY MEN
 By and large, the man who presides at code hearings de- cides upon concessions to be given Labor, the safeguards to be given the Consumer, the priv ileges granted to Industry, and in the end writes the code, holds the key to the MIRA.
 This man is the administrators. There are a total of 116 senior and junior administrators in the MIRA, all in charge of different Divisions, or groupings of indus try.
 And the most accurate answer to the question of whether Busi- ness dominates the MIRA or the MIRA dominates Business is a scrutiny of the experience and background of these administra- tors. Here is cross-section of the record:
 DIVISION NO 1
 Coal, automobiles, iron, steel, shipping, the biggest industries of the nation are grouped in Division No l. Its administra- tor, K. M. Simpson, an old friend of Johnson's, metallurgical engineer of extensive experience, q man of real professional abil- ity, but a poor executive-timid, uncertain, easily rattled, seem- ingly awed by the names of the big business world.
 K. J. ZIMMERMAN, deputy administrator in charge of the automobile code, came directly from the industry as New Jer- sey sales manager of Packard, and as one-time assistant to the presidert of the American Car & Foundry Motor Co, a subsidiary of ex-Secretary Woodin's great corporation.
 G. H. SHIELDS, H., deputy administrator in charge of the shipping code, Is a Boston blue stocking, who views the indus trial problem from the rarified heights of the Harvard club and an apprenticeship in the Tory environs of Scudder, Stevens X Clark, large Boston investment firm.
 LEIGHTON II. PEBBLES, deputy administrator handling the utilities code, has a back ground of several years with tho mighty General Electric to assist him in this extremely cri- fica1 iOb,

The plan suggested by John A. Coe some days ago for consolidation of the Protestant churches of this city has evoked considerable comment throughout the state Most of it is favorable, just as was the suggestion received by the var ious pastors of the different denomlna- tions represented in the Waterbury Coun- cil of Churches The Meriden Journal said among other things of the idea that 'In some smaller communities in Connec- tcut and in other states, the consollda- tions hinted at in the Waterbury plan have been carried out successfully, more especially where such unions did not have to overcome any striking differences Tn religious practices. :" It is a striking corollary that where the Protestant churches seek consolidation, the Roman Catholic expand, as seen in the increase in the number of their edifices right in our own city.

London Letter
BY LEE WILSON
United Press Stan Corrcspondcr

United Press Stan Correspondent
 London-R. O. Sheriff is about to break the long silence which has ensuod since his las t play Badgers Green" was produced four years ago.
 The famous author of "Joudney's End" has been working on new play for the past year, and he has had as collaborator the well-known acrtess, Jeanne de Casalis. The new play will be about Napoleon. But unlike most of the other portrayals of the Little Cor sican, the collaborators have con- cerned themselves only with the last six years of his life on the Isle of St Helena.
 The pair ploubhed through an enormous mass of literature which has been written about the sub- ject. From this and from con- temporary newspaper articles, Sheriff notes that one of the most striking features of the fallen em- perors life on the island was his complete friendliness. There was not even a second-rate brain among his staff, says Sheriff, and no particular personal devotion, except from a couple of valets.
 When asked if he had read Na- poleon's own dictated memories, Sheriff replied: Those are the only ones that we have found to be completely and factually un- reliable"
 Another type of collaboration is revealed by the co-authors of "Clive in India" which was pre- sented recently at Wyndhap's
 R. J. Minney had already writ ten a book on Give. However, his collaborator, W. r. Mpscomb did not read the book until after they had finished writing the play. MT Minnery is steeped in tho facts or Clive's life, and together they worked out the scenes.
 Said Mir Lipscomb, T refused 10 read the book because thought IT should get cluttered up with

Dancing Men

Dancing Men
 There has been a great upturn in the gigolo business, and even In some of the most respectable gay spots--two of them at least-no lady needs to cool her heels just because her escort does not feel like dancing. Billy Rose. who rules the Casino de Paree, started taking a load off the feet of genuinely tired business men when he hired 30 personable fellows for his music hall. And the Palais Royal comes along now with an assortment of tall and short, blond and dark youngsters who can sip a cocktail. talk about new books, new plays and imitation, and capable guide q feminine patron through a few fancy steps.
 "They're just robots" said MT. Rose, waving toward @ group of immediately clad men, each iden- tified by green carnation. "In- telligent. nice looking. and with educated feet. But robots. all the same. There's no charge for their services. If the ladies want to tip them, that's all right; if they do not. there's no argument" One fellow was discharged the other day for un-robotlike behav- for. Hc was caught jottIng down on q cuff the name and address of a pretty matron.

Madeira, Health Resort

There has been a Hull in American travel in Europe, but Portugal obviously regards it as merely temporary. The Lisbon government has decided to make the island of Madeira, Portuguese pos session in the Atlantic, about 400 miles off the coast of Morocco, "one of the princi- pal sunshine health resorts of Europe"
 Nature has already given the island the sunshine. Portugal will give it the additional features required by fashion able resorts It is planned to construct a mole across the bay at Funchal so that "scores of yachts can be safely anchored within" and seaplanes and flying boats can descend safely in all weathers. In a few years the island expects to be equipped to play host to annual world ten his tournaments. A Scottish golf archi- tect has already been commissioned to build fine new golf course.
 The promoters of this attractive project got their idea from the recent popularity, now waning, of Mallorca as resort for American visitors. There has been trou- ble there between the Madrid gov ernment and some of the American visi- tors. The latter are leaving the place because it has been made so uncomfort- able for them. Portuguese steamers, plying between Lisbon and Madeira, are already making detours into the Mediter- ranean to stop at Mallorca to pick up disgusted and departing Americans and entice them to try Madeira for change.
 It will probably work well, too, for Americans already show strong ten- dency to extend their travels to new scenes and peoples.
