Washington, Jan. 2-Getting a civil works administration job has now pretty much boiled down to a question of luck, poll tics or personal pull.
 The obvious jobs-cleaning re- fuse dumps, repairing roads, rakin leaves, beautifying parks now are in full siwng, with more thanffi enough men on them. But in adition, several thousand men still are standing in line, still hoping for work. This has taxed the ingenuity of CWA officials entrusted with the creation of jobs, and they have put their men to work on every conceivable form of work.
 FROM PALM BEACH
 TO THE CWA
 One CWA employer in the geo. logical survey, for instance, or dered q shelf of books moved from one side of the room to the other and suggested that a week was necessary to do it. Or take the case of one of Washington's OHCC- pI IOSDtiouo Ahoui ohSO AIOHs In better days he sported his own limousine, his winter home in Florida, and had keen eye for feminine charm. Long desti- ute, he now came out of the CWA office radiant and beam ing. CWA officials had found him unique job.
 w'm getting seventy cents an hour on this" he bOasted, land it's better than beggln'Or starv. inE'. I've got a job counting traffic at street intersection and I'm in great hurry. You can get the same thing. Just go right up and insist"
 POLITICS STILL
 THE POWER BEHIND
 Insistence no longer counts in getting a CWA job, however. The stage has been reached in all job-hunting where political pull counts heavily. In fact, un- til President Roosevelt issued a confidential instruction to elim- mate politics from the CWA, it had become a neat patronage racket for Commissioner Allen of the District of Columbia.
 "Get a letter from your sena. , tor" said Allen, who learned his politics from Pat Harrison of Mississippi. Tf your senator is behind you we may be able to do something."
 The men standing in line, though dwindling in number, have become more intense in their bitterness.
 "The whole thing is a lot of dirty politics." said an ex- Marine corps sergeant. They are taking people who got drag somewheres, while the rest of us with 23 years of honorable service on our record get about as much consideration as com mon street bums."
 HONE SPRINGS
 ETERNAL IN CWA
 There is q definite difference, however, between the average type in the CWA line pleading for jobs, adn those who frequent the regular relief lines. The first retain at least a spark of hope for the future. But with the latter all hope is dead.
 In the ordinary breadlines, two ages of men predOminatc -the very young and the very old. There are the youngsters in their teens who got showed out of large families because they were most able to shift for themselves and who have been haunting the jungles and the re- lief missions ever since. And there are the older men who long since have given up the idea of employment and have reduced bumming to a science. Most of them depend upon mis- siOnse for their food and lodging and resort to ''stemming it' (InnhandIing) for cigarettes,

Another Term Starts

Our good wishes and continued success to Mayor Frank Hayes as he commences his third term. Waterbury today is in a fair way towards emerging from the dol drums that have enveioped this nation for so many weary months. Under the guid- ance of Mayor Hayes and his many trust ed and valued aides we feel sure that the city will make as vigorous progress back to normalcy as is possible. Events of the past two administrations of our chief executive conclusively prove that.
 At any and all times Mayor Hayes has been glad to give an accounting of his stewardship. A majority of the citizens have found it satisfactory. Some have differed, but that is their privilege and 1t is rare today that unanimous approval of civic administration is obtained. How ever, the figures prove that Mayor Hayes is steadily gaining in popularity in Wa terbury. This can be ascribed simply to the fact that he has kept his promises and has endeavored to give us as upright an administration as is possible.
 While it is common to hear men eX' claiming over what they would do if they were mayor of big city like Waterbury, still we sometimes wonder if most of them would not shy away from the offer to guide community through such trying years as have been those of Mayor Hayes. He came into office with the stock panic rumbling in the distance. He speedily or ganized his forces and proceeded to ad- minister affairs as he had been accus- toned to handle many and varied business transactions over long period of years. Waterbury wanted business adminis- tration It got it and is still getting it.
 We certainly hope that the next two years will bring better times for Water bury than the last four. Still we shouldn't complain Conditions could have been far worse than they actually were. Mayor Hayes is entitled to few prosper ous years, having guided us rather suc- cessfully through the lean ones. In the event that we round the corner completely this year or the next we predict big things for Waterbury under the Hayes banner provided, of course, he is not called to bigger problems in the state or the national Capital.

Senator Borah of Idaho, a member of the republican party but staunch SUD- porter of President Roosevelt, believes that the coming session of Congress will last until July. That would be six months of legislating, quite lengthy stretch We're not so optimistic or pess- mistc, call it what you will. That the coming session should be momentous one, though, immediately wins our en- dorsement. There are matters of grave importance coming before our national law-making body. Let us hope that the members will consider them in this light. There should be no effort in putting through any program that the adminis- tration desires, as both houses are safely democratic. In addition to that President Roosevelt has strong following among the more progressive element of the re- publican party, notably such senators as Borah and Norris, to mention just two. In contrast to the Borah claim is that of Speaker of the House Rainey who opined a May l closing. There will be some ceremony, no doubt, tomorrow when Congress convenes as it is the first time that the goth amendment has had an opportunity to work Hitherto Congress has assembled in December. Now Jan uary is the month and wisely so, too.

We're quite interested in the outcome of the farm colony that is now being op- erated in Georgia. In fact, the eyes of the entire nation are upon this unique project. It is undoubtedly the forerunner of many similar ideas. The federal gov ernment is behind the movement. And an area of 30000 acres is to be set aside where the promotion of rural life will be encouraged. Application of the most modern methods of farming will be attempted. All the knowledge that we have of correct tilling of the soi raising of cattle etc, will be brought to bear. Ultimately the settlers may acquire their own property. Eventually creameries, canneries, and other processing plants are planned. It sounds good. It sounds like Connecticut's homestead plan.

In circulation right now we have II kinds of money. There are federal re. serve notes; national bank notes; silver certificates; gold coin; U. s. notes; sub- sidiary silver; gold certificates, federal reserve bank notes; minor coin; silver dollars; and treasury notes of 1890. The total aggregate of this money is said to be $5,743 100000. With this much in cir- culaton it certainly seems as if we ought to be able to get along.

Easy to Acquire
Skill in Carving
Beginner, However, viii
Be Interested in
These Pointers.

To gain the skill acquired by a
good carver, the person has to know
how to cut meat to stress tenderness.
Also there are certain other knacks
or tricks, which a good carver learns,
which are appreciated by those who
are served, although they may not
realize why their portions seem so
we'll suited to their tastes. Points on
poultry and bird carving are given
today.
The position of a bird is, In Itself,
important. The legs should be at the
right, the neck at the left. The fork
Il thrust through the breast, one
prong each side of the breast bone.
In this position the bird is held firm
h and the knife most readily finds
tn way to sever the first and sec
ond joints and wings. The former
are cut off together and then the leg
1.-THE first joint Is severed from the
second joint. Then the wings are cut
off, after which the breast Is cut In
thin slices.
Each portion should consist of
some white and some dark meat, for
no longer Is 1t considered correct to
ask which kind a person prefers. To
get enough dark meat, which Is the
richer, to go with the white, which Is
the more delicate, 1t Is necessary TO
cut the dark meat Of the joints into
pieces. One such piece, with a slice
of breast, forms a good serving. II is
only when meat is carved In the
kitchen and passed for each person
to help himself, that taking pre-
ferred portions is permissible. Then
the entire bird is jointed and cut
without such appointments. The
breast is not sliced but Is separated
from the carcass In portions right
for individual servings.
When there Is stutfing, the carver
Sits the stitches of the sewing, and
spoons out the tasty, we~ll-seasoned
crumbs, giving one spoonful, or Its
equivalent, with each serving. When
the bird Is served jointed and cut,
the dressing is apt to form a center,
Of many portions, with the meat
about 1t. Roast birds are apt to be
carved at the table, or the portions
be on the plates put before those
dining when this course Is served.
The term bird Is used to include
chicken, fowl, turkey and the usual
kinds of birds which are not so small
that they are served whole, or In
halves, as individual portions.

Swamp's Mysteries Now
Hidden for All Time

The dismal Pymatuning swamp
near Espyville, Pa, Is disappearing
beneath waters impounded by a mil
lion-dollar state dam, closing its
secrets to mankind forever.
Natives of this Doggy area rs
miles south Of Lake Erie insist that
strange monsters, survivors of their
species of an earlier geological era,
roamed In the semi-tropical heart OF
the swamp.
Biologists, skirting the fringes of
its mucky depths, found unknown
plants and animals believed to have
survived the Glacial age. Beautiful
orchids, poisonous reptiles and car
nlvorous plants abounded there.
Natives say the half-rotted hull of
an early Spanish sailing ship lies
deep In the swamp. They say 1t is
the ship Griffith, abandoned by De
Soto after the expedition up the She
mango river was begged In the marsh
over $50 years ago.
The Delaware Indians called the
swamp "the dwelling place of the
crooked-mouth man." They warned
of a great spirit of many shapes"
which rose from the swamp with the
moon.
White men laughed and began to
explore. Some never appeared again.
Skeptics discounted the stories told
by the few who returned. Soon the
truth will be covered with 8 to IA
