Meanwhile, Makley pointed
his soap gun through the bars
and PierpOnt unlocked his cell.
Together they backed the
guards out Of death row after
freeing all prisoners from the
death cells. But while they were
doing this Guard Jones sounded
an alarm.
"MRkIey, PierpOnt and Clark

With its remnants they tried to
smash their way through the
big iron door at the end of the
cell block.
"Makley and PierpOnt pointed
their guns out through the
bars and Makley set Guard
Pfarr up in front of him as q

"The reserve squad of guards,
consisting of eight men, mean

block. They opened fire.
Guard Pfarr stepped back
against the wall and the two
bullets plOughed into Makley's
body. Another bullet found its
way into PierpOnt'S spine.

What Will Be The Effect?

Rejection of the appointment of Frank
Bergin as u. s. District Attorney comes
not as surprise to this state, but as an
unpleasant reminder Of what may follow.
It is sure to be the first Of similar rejec-
tions 1t does not seem possible that the
Bergin rejection would be solitary one.
Senator Augustine Lonergan levelled his
guns on the three federal appontees in
Connecticut - Bergin, international Rev
enue Collector DR.. Edward G. Dolan, and
Customs Collector Fannie Dixon WEIGH.
The latter two, according TO available
information from Washington, will like
wise be refused confirmation of the
Senate. Naturally such condition OF
affairs Is going to prove disrupting UNI
til new nominations are made. IL Is more
than likely right now that Senator Loner.
gan will be consulted, il he isn't the actual
Dictator in the three appointments. Wed
say that the appointments will be held up
until after Congress adjourns, so that they
will at least hold over until next January.
That was the procedure followed last
year, the three named above being given
recess appointments by President Roose-
welt. What terms Senator Lonergan has
accepted or dictated will remain in doubt
for some few days. But suffice 1t to say
that the democratic senator has success
sively proved the point Of senatorial cour-
tesy". He has demonstrated that the adj
ministration Is not adamant on the ques-
ton of patronage distribution. He has
shown that he is capable Of securing in
Washington sufficient support to counter
act that arising from other sources.
His position is rather secure at this
writing. So much 80 that he won't even
have to bother his head about the forth.
coming state election. In the NATURAL
course of events he might be expected to
play some part in it. Now he certainly
won't unless he is so inclined or desires to
do so for personal reasons. One point ne
should keep in mind, though, is the uncer'
tainty and unrest that accompanied the
interminabe period in which official
Washington was trying to make up itS
mind on federal appointecs for this state
should not again be allowed to exist II
he il going to name successors to Messrs
Bergn and Dolan and Mrs WEIGH, then by
all means do it speedily and with all pos
sible efficiency.

What Tax Will Make Up for

Taxation?

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
What are your feelings on the
new tax exemption proposal on

a certain amount for legal deduc-
ton before laying the assessment.
For instance a house has an ASSESS
cd valuation OF $1,000. The legal
exemption IL a Nat $4,000 on home
steads. The tax rate Is 30 mills or
. per cent $4,000 minus $4,000 IL
$4,000 taxable at per cent equals
$50. II this Is true, that IL more
like II. But where Is the other $50

part ments. Where will they get II I?

MR. AVERAGE MAN.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-05-30
Living Longer

Half century ago people lived, on an
average, to about the age of 40 Now the
average has been pushed up to GO by med
ical progress and better living conditions.
A Toronto physician tells an American
audience of physicians, without protest,
that half a century hence, though the av-
erage will not be raised to 100 years,
almost any person using his intelligence
and will power may live that long.
Using intelligence and will power will
probably involve then, as it does now,
picking out good physician and follow
ing his advice. And the advice will prob
ably consist then, as it does now among
medical scientists mainly of two things
eating the right kind of food and taking
care of focal infections.
It is focal infestions, say up-to-date
doctors, that cause about three-fourths of
our physical ailments. They occur chiefly
in teeth, nasal snuses, tonsils and diges-
tive system. They are the chief causes of
old age and premature death. They are

Memorial Day Lessons

The special virtue Of holidays Is their
haracter-buildng value TO children. OBJ
servance of birthdays, Christmas, historl-
cal occasions Easter, and all the rest, helps
TO strengthen family ties and to link fine
things of the past with the present and
the future. Memorial Day has such sig
nificance whether we participate IN the
public celebrations, go on family picnics,
or both.
The Boy Scout who marches in the
parade and helps decorate the graves OF
soldiers, or the boy or girl who looks on
at these things, feels wave of patriotism
and zeal to serve which should become
permanently part Of his thought and
character Parents and public speakers
on this day have an opportunity and re-
sponsibility. 1t is within their power TO
direct the strong emotions aroused on Me-
mortal day into wise expression and prac-
tical idealism.
Let them teach the boy or girl on Me-
mortal Day not to glorify war but to re-
spect the faith and courage of those who
fought and died for their country when
there seemed to be no other way to solve
the problem confronting it. Let them
teach the children that the people of this
great nation may have higher destiny
than to win wars - the destiny Of leader
ship in the practice of justice, freedom and
brotherhood of man. Let them teach the
nations youth - and the happy picnic out
ing helps here - that theirs is fair and
beautiful land, well worth their love and
service as good citizens.
