Waterbury today experienced one of the most severe daytime rain falls in years. Streets in the center of the city were flooded while on the outskirts many streets were reported as badly washed out.
 At Rockville, where the under pass still exists, the rain water gathered for a depth of two feet or more. Automobiles were stalled and in two or three cars where men and women drivers and pas sengers were involved, female pas sengers were forced to chamber to the tops of the vehicles while the male drivers telephoned to obtain tow service.
 2.SS Inches of Water
 The city engineering department this noon, through Plumbing h. spector James Walker, issued the statement that from noon, yester- terday, to noon, today, the total rainfall was 2.88 inches. Most of this water fell during the daylight hours. Therefore, it is not com parable with the weekend rain- fall of week ago, of 5.34 inches, which was chalked up during night and day for the entire weekend. Exchange place was consider ably flooded today as the rain piled up in the low point in the center of the city. At West Main and Willow streets the storm water sewers threw up large spouts of water through the manholes. Early this afternoon most of this trouble had subsided. At Field and Meadow streets the water was between one and one-half and two feet deep. This flood had also disappeared early this afternoon.
 Thousands of mothers kept their children home from school this morning, despite the absence of the mo schoor whistles. The schoolrooms of the city, however, were much deserted this morning. This afternoon the mo school" signal was sounded but the rain- storm had practically ceased at the time.
 The 13,000 grammar school youngsters, minus a few hundred, braved the rain this morning only to find their classrooms deserted to great extent. At 11:30 o'clock this morning factory whistles served notice that regular study programs in all the grammar schools would be shortened. Pupils in all grades from to were dis missed at 1 o'clock this afternoon.

whom she rode horseback in Ne vada pending her divorce, or a Washington newspaper corre- spondent. None has been seen with her since the divorce, however.
 Mrs Dall plans to return to the White House in time for her children, Sistiea and Buzzie, to enter school early in October. She usually takes them to school in her own sedan, often goes after them, and sees them to bed nearly every night.
 Excepting the formal functions at the White House, which she ussually attend, and few public charitable functions, public din- ners, or horse shows which attract her interest, Mrs DalPs social life in Washington is usually very in- conspicuous.

A Thought for Today
Good Citizens Get Together

The rest of the country likes to pretend that Chicago is entirely in a class by itself in the matter of crime, political corrup- tion and. civic boastfulness. Defenders of Chicago ought to be heard now and then, in the interest of fair play and balance.
 One of these defenders is Charles E. Merriam, professor of political science at the University of Chicago, one of the city's ablest leaders. In recent mag azine article Merriam wrote of the unique group of agencies in public ad- ministration" which has sprung up in Chicago, with that city for headquarters.
 Among them are the American Muni' cipal Association, the International City Managers Association, the American Public Welfare Association, the Public Administration Clearing House, the American Legislators Association, the Council of State Governments, the Gov ernmental Research Association, the Mu- nicipal Finance Officers Association, the National Association of Housing Officials, and the United States Conference of May ors. These are young organizations and significant
 Thoughtful citizens in Chicago and elsewhere, aware of their responsibilities, realizing that there is strength in union, are banding together to improve state and local government. By organization they make possible scientific research and sound publicity, both of which are neces- scry for success in honest, efficient pub- lie administration.

Veterans Set An Example

Rudolph Hess, Hitler's chief aide in the Nazi party, is reported to have accepted an invitation of French war veterans to address them in Paris. This, it is reported, would be the first step in an effort to get German and French veterans together on an amicable program looking toward the preservation of peace. Whether anything will come of it is, of course, something that only time can tell. But there is something peculiarly hopeful about the effort, at any rate.
 Most of the international hatred that curses the world these days is kept alive by civilians. The men who did the actual fighting hate - not each other, but war itself, and the illogical human tendency to forget the aims for which they fought. If there could be genuine approach between French and German veterans, the non- combatants of the two nations would get a powerful object lesson on the futility of postwar suspicious and enmities.

Western Europe And America

Walter Lippmann, observer of world affairs, returns from several months in Europe, a news writer finds, with dire forebodings." He is optimistic about American, LCt dubious about the Old World. Europe, he thinks, is suffering from a gnawing organic disease. He does not include Great Britain and the Scan- dinavian countries in this dark picture. Their governments are more stable, their economic conditions less serious.
 Otherwise - "The Continent is still in the grip of a truly terrible deflation, which is paralyzing private initiative. It would be foolish to try to predict what will happen There is possibility of war. There is a possibility of widespread social disintegration." Those are grim words, "social disintegration."
 America, while cooperating with other nations in all proper ways, and helping when she can, has to watch her step now more than ever. Our place in interna- tional relations is particularly alongside of Britain and those level-headed Scandi navian countries with whose principles, institutions and blood we are most closely connected.

The Real Delinquent

Every so often some die-hard suggests that the trouble with our young people is that we have been too sparing with the rod A sound thrashing every so often, we are told, would work wonders with some of these youngsters whom we find exceptionally hard to handle.
 Maybe so. But father E. J. Flanagan, head of Boys Home in Omaha, suggests that it is the fathers of delinquent children who need the licking. He boldly proposes that when child gets into trouble with the law, and is found to have been regu- larly neglected by his dad, dad be called in and given a dozen or so where he will notice them most.
 Father Flanagan points out that par ental neglect is responsible for juvenile delinquency in tremendous proportion of cases. In such cases, obviously, it is the parent who needs correction far more than the child.

Good Job For a Good Mariner

It is good to read that Captain George A. Fried, retiring from the sea, is prompt ly given one of the biggest jobs the fed eral government can give a mariner - supervising inspector in the important second inspection district for the Federal Navigation Bureau. Not often does merchant sailor attain such widespread public confidence as Captain Fried has attained. His cool, seamanlike, and dar- ing rescues at sea are almost legendary. Any man who could perform as he per formed in the famous Antinoe and Florida rescues must be pretty broad-gauge sort of man as well as first-rate sailor.
 Catain Fried, in other words, is too valuable man to be allowed to slip into re-. tirement just yet. His new job is one of vast responsibility. The safety of many sea travellers depends on it being handled properly. And with Captain Fried filling if. the American public will have complete confidence that the work is being done the way it ought to be done.

One-Day Beggars

For years it has been customary in New York City on Thanksgiving day for chil- dren to dress up in fantastic, ragged cos tunes and go from door to door begging for pennies Newcomers who run across this custom for the first time are usually shocked but soon learn to accept it. Ap- parently the thing became too much of a nuisance even for New Workers them selves. At any rate, there was less of this ragamuffin game played in the city this year.
 Two reasons are given for the change. One is that the children themselves are tiring of the pastime, that modern kids consider it silly and unsophisticated to dress up and beg. The other reason is found in the activity of the Crime Pre- vention Bureau which gave big Thanks giving costume party this year, with prizes and parade, participated in by 600 children.
 This was not case of bribing children to behave themselves. It was, instead, the psychologically sound move of substi- tuting wholesome, supervised fun for an uncontrolled, mischievous practice. One day begging, even in play, is not tradi- tion to cultivate.

Press Comment
WHY A SALES TAX IS
 NECESSARY
Bridgeport Times-Star)

A sales tax of the general type recommended to Governor Wilbur l.. Cross and the next general as- sembly by the special tax commis- sion with the purpose of supplying state aid to the cities and towns of Connecticut has many elements | in it's avor.
 The strongest opposition un- doubtedly will come from those districts in the state where the re- lief situation is not acute. But it
 should be realized by all tEat the | present difficulty has shown itself | ii shrdlu cmfwyp vbgkqj to be too large for the industrial cities and towns; it must be dealt with as a state problem. Local taxes, falling largely on real es-
 tate, are unequal to the extraor-
 dinary demands of the present | situation.
 There are many applications of l the sales or consumption tax prin- | ciples. Some are good, others l bad. A sales tax levied upon the merchant and manufacturer in this state and borne by him would be unfair in view of the other taxes | imposed upon the same source of revenue. Due to conditions.
 many concerns are operating in the red.
 However, where the sales tax is
 levied and collected from the con-
 sumner, the burden is so widely dis
 tributed and split into such small
 amounts that it becomes as nearly
 as possible "painless" tax. This is the sort of sales tax which the Special Tax Commission
 has in mind, a low rate, few ex- emptions and the broadest pos sible application on consumers. Care in framing the law will be
 necessary to carry out these prin- ciples.

The new Supreme Court building ill Washington from all descriptions is great work of art, the front presenting sculp- tural figures taken from real life. The late Cass Gilbert, who designed our City Hall and the Chase ediice opposite, is rep resented in a group of figures, "on the western pediment of the structure" Gi- bert was architect of the building. Along with him in the group we speak of are likenesses of Chief Justice Taft, Elihu Root, Chief Justice Hughes, Robert Aitken. (sculpter of the triangular section), and former Chief Justice John Marshall. This pediment over the entrance to the west wing is one of the many fine features of the new building.

NAVY ZEPPELINS
 Navy Secretary Swanson has included no item in his 1885,. 1886 budget or a dirigible to replace the ill-fated Akron, but the navy may get one, anyway.
 Chairman Vinson of the house naval affairs committee is an ardent believer in all orms of navl aviation: and while the navy high command insists the light er-than-air type of ship has proved itself only luxury, Vim son believes every possible effort should be made to develop mer- ican dirigibles-"just in case"
 He is now waiting for the re- port of the Howell federal avia- tion commission. If that board { recommends in favor of airships, Vinson plans to insert in the naval appropriations bill the money for at least one dirigible whether Swanson and the navy high command likes it or not. WHITE HOUSE WINE

 A fourth barrel, containing liQueur glasses will remain in storage. White House brOad- mindcdncss doesn't include any thing stronger than wine.
