Money Gone Begging

One of the oldest bits of news to come out of Washington in long time is the revelation that matured government se- curities to the value of at least $2O, ,0OO, 900 are being held by various forgetful citi- zens, who seem to have overlooked com pletely the fact that Uncle Sam owes them money.
 Some of these bonds date back to the first government security issue, which came out before 1900 and matured more than century ago. Others represent un- redeemed Liberty Loan bonds and war savings certificates. Their holders are entitled to cash them, and the money is waiting for them-but somehow they don't seem to do it.
 You would doubtless get some interest ing stories, if you ran down handful of these unredeemed bonds. Certainly the whole thing is an unusual sidelight on the absentmindedness of sizable number of Americans.

Relief For U. s. Treasury

News that the Treasury Department is preparing to continue the task of con- verting Fourth Liberty Loan bonds into securities bearing lower rate of interest is a reminder that we have fine chance, in this way, to relieve the current strain on the federal treasury.
 This bond issue originally totaled little under $7,O0O,00O,0O0. It bore { IA per cent interest when issued. Last spring approximately $1,875,000,000 was converted into per cent bonds. At pres ent some $1,250,O 100000 more is being converted into IA per cent bonds and 1-2 per cent notes.
 Now it is planned to convert the re- mainder of the issue; and it is worth noting that substantial saving is in prospect. Already something like $33,- 0OO, ,0OO a year in interest charges has been saved. If the whole issue is con- verted, the annual saving will reach $66,- OOO, ,0OO. At time when federal finances are being strained to the utmost, such saying is well worth making.

monious, although tinctured by several warm debates.
 Whether this state of amity is a real peace, or merely an armed truce, remains to be seen. The group as yet has not tackled a serious Controversial issue, such as wages, hours, price-fix- ing.
 Its attention to date has been concentrated on dealing with three ur.g ent administrative problems, which it discovered would have to be solved prompt ly and decisively if the MIRA was to be saved from complete de- moralization:
 i. Strengthening of subOr- dinafe executive personnel. In the search for good men, the board is canvassing the record of every cx-NRA executive, with the. hope of getting the best to return.
 2. Quicker transaction of business. This was one of the most serious weaknesses of the Johnson regime. Controversial questions were buck passed from administrator, to admins tratOr, some of them hanging fite for months.
 3. Strengthening and tight ening Of enforccemnt. To this end the board is studying the operation of various enforce ment methods, features of codes which have proved most en-, forceable, and those which have Y caused greatest trouble.
 HANDS OFF LABOR
 In grappling with these ad- 5 ministrative problems the board has already made two definite decisions: @ First, and relating to en- forcement, it has agreed to keep strict hands off all labor dis putes. Johnson was continually thrusting himself into these controversies.
 With thcr ecord of JOhnsOn's labor failures before them, the board promptly relegated such dynamite-lOaded m a ters to Secretary Perkins and the na- tiOnal labor relations board.
 The second decision, aimed at quickening the business-trans- action pace of the NRA, has re- suited in the, creation of new

 Benjamin Franklin means no more to Waterbury than to Boston or Phliaoel- phia, yet a handsome replica in bronze adorns Library Park. 1t is really one or the very few personal monuments we have in the city.

A Thought for Today
A Real Swashbuckler, Eh, Hughie?

The fortunes of the republican party In Connecticut are at low ebb if the re- marks of it's spokesmen in Waterbury last week are any criterion. We really expected more of MT Alcorn in his visit to the Brass City. But then it has been gradually dawning on us, as the g.o.p. gubernatorial candidate makes his rounds of the state, that after all he is quite vulnerable. His national repu- tation need not overawe anybody. His feet rest in the same clay as yours and mine.
 Probably MT Alcorn was advised before coming to Waterbury to get real tough in the states democratic fortress. He disposed of Mayor Hayes in fashion that savored of the small town line of batter. Of course, MT Alcorn may have reasoned that Waterbury was only small town and should be treated accordingly. His invitation to the mayor to visit him after January 1 was more attuned to ward rally than major city meeting. However. it did get laugh. We disposed of this point Saturday.
 Liquor and milk are still mixed by the republicans. Ugh what bad taste! Alarmed at their attempts to knock down the New Deal they seized the obvious in state issues. It is too bad that MT Alcorn with his reputation for directness and foresight did not see beyond them. Are there no other issues than milk and liquor in Connecticut? And if we were to dwell at any great length on the Buckleyized liuuor commission, might we not point out that it's actual head (with apologies to Chairman Bergin) certainly would not put himself in position of being goat for any democrat
 oY,f fo Sr1uo tho IrnYorQcSIOn MT Alcorn, that we have the most atrocious liquor law in the states (and you know we haven't, for you also espouse state con- trol of manufacture and sales) why not do so on purely non-partisan basis? You may tell some of the people that the liquor law was passed through an appeal to public sentiment by Governor Cross, but you. won't be telling everyone ot us that all the republicans were fight ing hard to put through measure of their own. If you do, you'll have to dis claim state for the more insidious form of county control.
 It's an unusual spectacle for Connecti- cut this fall. Even two years ago the re- publicans couldn't really believe it would be necessary for them to attack the demo- crats to wrest control of the governors office from Wilbur L. Cross. This fall they are taking no chances. They are leading alternately with the right and the left. The extremely tender portions of the anatomy they thus expose to democratic shafts should be quite sore by November 6, unless perchance they take to covering up. A few more assaults like that launched in Waterbury and the g.op. board of strategy will be called into another emergency session.

BETTER DISTRIBUTION IS WHAT THIS COUNTRY
 NEEDS

Waterbury, Conn
 October IS, 1894 Editor of the Democrat:
 Tn your editorial on Friday eve ming you stated, quote = If our industrial society accepts a 30- hour week as a necessary and in- evitable thing, it surrenders to the theory that we all have to go with out things we want. This is the gospel of defeat-unquote. Are we not going without things we want now? I don't mean we-some of us. When our industrial society accepted the 45-hour week and the building crafts accepted the 4O- hour week, was that a gospel of defeat? Of course, we must all know that the theory behind the motive of the 30-hour week is to employ more people and this idea, if accomplished, would bring about the circulation of more money. But if the 30-hour week is accept ed and no more people are em- ployed we won't be going places. You also stated, What we need Is more things for more people, more abundance, not more scar city". We have never suffered on account of the scarcity of abun- dance. For many years we have been taught that business was governed by the rule of supply and demand. Is this rule not a failacy now? We have e plentiful supply and Q greater demand for the worlds goods today than We ever had.

 Washington, Oct. 15-Justice department agents, who played the biggest part in apprehending the Lindbergh kidnaper, are definitely skeptical about the transfer f the case to New Jer- sey. "9
 They attribute New Jersey eagerness to get the, ase chiefly to one thing-politics. A. hot election fight is brewing In that state, and the Hauptmanns trial for certain officials means pulp licity. < .
 What justice departments agents consider to be the saner course is to go to trial first in New York on a charge of ex- tortion. New York was where the ransom was paid. The case against Hauptmann on 2 this charge, they believe, is perfect.
 On the murder and Kidnapping charge, however, the case is still being worked up. Their strategy would be to get a con- viction on extortion in New York then move the case-to Jersey for the murder charge. This way there would be no slip-up. DISCRETION
 Navy Secretary Swanson loves a political fight, in fact he is a real fire-eater when it comes to battling for naval appropriations. But be that as it may he con- siders discretion the better part of valor.
 So the other day when he had to decide between two conflicting allegiances at a football game he-ducked! M
 It was on the occasion of the colorful Navy Virginia classic, played in Griffith Stadium be- fore large crowd. Swanson was to be the guest of honor. The entire Naval Academy corps at- tended and the student b od dy from the University of Virginia.
 But the grizzled Swanson, after long deliberation, turned down the invitation.

RESTAURANTS By Douglas Goodrich

Such thoughts as these my
 dreams all haunt,
 When I've wineds and dined
 at restaurant.
 A restaurant is a place where travelling salesmen are fresher than eggs.
 Where girls in uniform are wait resses and patrons the walters. And where the cover charge covers no shins.
 A restaurant should get re-
 breaches
 Tn direct ratio of it's reaches. Silly Sally says she gets a big kick going into a swell restaurant. The panhandler gets his going out. You can take the little blonde to a restaurant for the cocktail hour, but think up some other tale before going home to the wife.
 And remember that while the check-room girl may have a sweet smile she doesn't give a wrap for you.

Grownups Will Read This Fairy Story
By BRUCE CAPTION

Perhaps little Doys and girls of today do. not read the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen or Peter Grimm any more. Perhaps lthe youngsters choose a new type of fairy story that seems to be more in keeping with their ideas of mod ern living.
 | At any rate, they have many such modern fairy tales to choose from these days, and one of the most enjoyable that has come to light is Lisa Tetzner's Hans Sees the World"
 Miss Tetzner must love children and find keen amusement in every little game they play or story they concoct. For the book really tells the reactions of an adult playing child again.
 Written in German. 1t has been translated effectively for American children, and adults as well. to ap- preciate. It's said that Germany and the rest of Europe has gone made about the book.
 The story tells about little Ger. man boy. Hans, who finds an nc- quaintancc in a remarkable "fairy story rabbit" and travels around the world seeking the bread for which his mother had sent him.
 Through the rabbits remarkable ears. Hans can understand tho strange people wherever he goes. His adventures take him to Green. land. America. Africa. China and Russia, sometimes using the rabbit and his ears to iiy across oceans. sometimes sailing away on weird vessels, and evcn ono being trans ported in the mouth of a huge can- non and being shot out Into the midst Of m African jungle. They say kr0wnups have boon enjoying thIs book, as we'll as chil. dren. That is very iikoly. for yon'Il flnd yourself reading on and on. once you start with it. And your young ones wili have Co walt. sees ihs world" st a.

Press Comment
TROUBLE WITH MILK
(New Britain Herald)

A survey of milk consumption having been made in this city the verdict is that consumption is low. The local consumption Is no differ- ent from surveys carried on by the consumers council In other indus trial cities. They are all alike. When times are good milk con- sumption Is normal or above the average; when times are hard con- sumption decreases. The urge to- ward economy Is the determining factor. Peorie try to save money on milk when they haven't much to spend.
 The actual sufferers. however. are the children of the poor who are as likely as not to suffer from malnutrition. The effects follows them throughout their lives.
 It should he the business of the city to provide sufficient milk dur Ing crisis; not canned milk. but tho genuine article. Every child is entitled to . proper start in life. Chiidren are not to be held res sponsible and punished for the dc. fciencios of our economic system.

Selected Poem
INDIAN SUMMER

(Marie Gilchrist in the New York sun) Now as before these mellow days recall
 Essential summer while the boughs grow bare. One at time the leaves loose hold and fall And come to earth down levels of still air. At night the round moon pours her fullest store On trees that were about to shed thor gold Knowing that leafhess boughs more lightly soar More lightly bear the burden of the cold. What strange unreason calls season back? This touch of summer-heavy on the breast That was prepared to meet the winters lack And round the year or with appointed rest And now must stand In such rare warmth and
 walt
 Knowing 1t must be brief. 1t comes so late.
