Snappy Game Is Prospect.

r OU1SlANA STATE has power
full team, good in almost every
particular OF that there can
not be the least doubt. It would not
have achieved some of the results it
has this wear we're this not true.
However it is also true that it has
been stopped and it may be that 1t
will be stopped tomorrow. Certainly
George Washington has been making
stern and hopeful preparations and
has men who ought to be almost as
strong physically as the visitors. But
no matter how strong the Louisiana
team is, a good game should be
PLAYED. George Washington is too
strong itself to admit of anything
like a runaway race. 1t ought 10
make a better showing against the
visitors than Vanderbilt did.
Coach Jim Pixlee was loath this
morning to make any statement. He
knows the task that his team has ana
simply is saving wood to the best OF
his ability to the end that his team
may take the field with as close to an
even chance as possible.
Brilliant players will be in the
game on both sides. Leemans OF
George Washington is as good back,
extensively at least, as usually is seen
on any team, and Louisiana State. If
reports are to be accepted at face
value, is a team Of stars. Coach Bif1
Jones is quoted as saying, for in
stance, that he has one back better
than Chris eagle, bright figure in
the Army lineup several years ago.
Roanoke No Pushover.
nUT this game is tomorrow and
Il Georgetown plays tonight at 8
o'clock. Up from Salem, Va,
comes a Roanoke College team said to
be far stronger than the usual small
college eleven. 1t whipped Emory
and Henry, which in turn beat Rich
mond. which last week eked out a
one-point margin over Georgetown.
That would seem to indicate that the
Blue and Gray may have lot of
trouble.
However, Georgetown is anxious to
atone for that unexpected defeat of
last week. a defeat that came out Of
a clear sky almost after it apparently
had the game won. And a George
town team out to win under this con-
dition is hard team to keep from
winning
Catholic University's game with
Oglethorpe is something of an enigma
as far as conjecturing what may hap
pen. Not enough is known about
the Oglethorpe eleven to do this. The
Georgians may go out on the field
in condition to put up a great fight
and give the local school a regular
run-around, but then again it may
not.
Maryland against Virginia Military
Institute in Baltimore Monday also
presents unusual features, In a meas
ure similar to the Catholic U.-Ogle-
thorpe contest. The Old Liners are
scheduled to face a team that ad-
mittedly has very real potential power.
but which, up to last week. had not
been able to win. Maryland may be
able to beat the Virginians, but the
chances are that it has on its hands
Q bitter battle.
Another game scheduled here tomor-
row is between American University
and Randolph This. unless the
local school plays better foot ball than
1t has in its previous games. is likely
to result in victory for the visitors.

Prices And Markets

The automobile industry has attracted favorable attention lately by lowering prices which, considering the quality of cars and the prices of previous years, were already low. This was not philanthropy. The motor industry has discovered, bet ter than some of the older industries, that every time it lowers the price it taps a new market. There is an endless success sion of markets on the way down. hat is the way to spread sales. There is rap- idly narrowing market on the way up; that is the way to spread sales There is a rapidly narrowing market on the way up; that is the way to shrink sales.
 Naturally there is always limit to which price reduction can go. But often the limit is lower than it looks when the reduction process is started. Henry Ford, one of the pioneers in this field of business exploration found long ago that he could afford to set prices lower than current costs of production, trusting to increased volume of sales to reduce unit production costs before long, enough to recoup and provide an assured profit. That is how he built his vast fortune.
 The big danger of price-fixing, as prac- tised in various industries operating un- der the MIRA codes, is that they tend to ignore this principle, and freeze prices - and therefore freeze buying power - at a needessly high level. There is wisdom in the suggestion of Dr Corwin D. Edwards, chief economist of the MIRA Consumers Advisory Board, that cost accountants should take into account not only current costs and prices, but current market conditions.

The Lid Is Of

The lid seems to be off so far as the senatorial nomination on the democratic ticket is concerned. We're wondering if Senator Frederic C. Walcott of Norfolk is uneasy over the apparent willingness of any number of eligible democrats to op- pose him at the polls next November. There doesn't seem to be the same hesi- tancy among the democrats to propose candidate in 1884 to run against the Nor folk man as there was in former years when Senator Mclean was up for reelec- tion and when ex-Senator Bingham first went into office.
 If we were to designate the strongest candidate among the democrats we might have to explain to supporters of the others our reasons for so doing. That would be rather lengthy procedure. The democrats present a rather formidable group in Representative Francis T. Ma. loney of Merideh, Professor Harry Mor- gan Ayres of Westport, Labor Commis. sioner Joseph M. Tone of New Haven, and Dr Edward G. Dolan of Manchester. The vote-getting ability of only the first named has been proved of recent years.
 The candidacy of Congressman Maloney must be taken seriously. He may not have publicly made his bid for the nomination, but when the time comes he will be in the thick of the fight, of that democrats can be assured. It is also a fact that Dr Dolan, now minus his Internal Revenue fob. will also be an active contender. 1t is known that certain democrats want Professor Ayres to run, but his own ideas on the matter have not been explained as vet. The candidacy of "Joe" Tone is still jn the making. It hinges on a number of things, all of which must be favorable to sause his entrance.
 Republicans are playing a very careful game with regard to the senatorial fight.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-05
Rather a Proposition

Representative William l.. Higgins ot Coventry, who speaks for the second dis trict in the halls of Congress, has always been brilliant orator for the rural resi- dent. It was he who more than any other man in this state brought out the slogan, "get the farmer out of the mud" long years ago. He lived to see the dirt road fund created and every town in the state allotted annual sums with which to i'm prove it's roads that otherwise might net receive such attention.
 For long years he labored in vain to do something for people who lived along dirt roads that were impossible for many months during the winter and early spring. Perhaps the mere fact that he is a doctor and was accustomed to bravlng the threats of the backwoods road at all seasons made him fully conscious of the need of some aid from the state. At any rate he is once more voicing his opinion on road control. This time he's not apt to enlist so many disciples.
 Last Saturday night he said in public address, q believe the state of Connecti- cut should take over all rural roads; con- struct, reconstruct, and maintain them. The automobile registration fee should be cut one-half and the gasoline tax increased one cent. This would give the motor ve- hicle department about the same amount in revenue and would be more equitable aS the motorist would then be paying for the upkeep of the highways in proportion to the use of them
 srrL ~L1 Lo funds from the highway department which are now allocated to that department. ...." The last statement is too true. We don't think there ever will be any wide diversion of highway department funds for other purposes unless on strictly loan and in. terest basis. But the first part of the above statement is the one that will bring opposition. The state can't, of course. take over all the rural roads, To do so it would have to increase both registration fees and gas taxes
 We oppose higher gas taxes to make up for losses occasioned by drop in reg istration fees. The principle isn't sound, notwithstanding Congressman Higgins lucid explanation above. It might mean a motorist would pay in proportion to the use he makes of the roads. It would in the long run mean not one cents saving to the average motorist. And our complaint today is that the average tax on the mo- torist is too high. We don't mean just one specific item necessarily We mean the sum total of the taxes on his car in one years driving.
 If we take over more rural roads and put them in the state highway department we put too heavy burden on it. It is now somewhat taxed to construct the far-famed Merritt Highway, ten to fifteen million proposition. How could it develop eX- press highways or parkways in the state if it had to devote all it's time to modern izing the hundreds of miles of rural roads now threading every accessible corner of the state? We don't believe it is humanly possible in this age.

They expect to renominate Senator Wal colt. They won't admit that he can be beaten, but it's too apparent there is, an undercurrent of feeling in g. O. p. ranks that for the first time Connecticut may boast two democratic senators. There's no indication of whom the republicans would like to see get the democratic nonl- ination, but there will be soon enough. The all-seeing democrat would be wise to fear the republican bearing gifts in the form of fiattery and subtle suggestion. It's the tip-off to the course we should take in picking the senatorial nomination.

 Peiping, China (UP)-Diplo- matic relations between China and Persia, broken no less than 1900 years ago, now have been resumed.
 The resumption was marked by the arrival in Shanghai of Hos- sein Khan keyostevan and his as- sumption of duties as Persian con- sul in China.
 In the 17th Century. A. b., the Sassanian Dynasty fell in Persia and a period of chaos followed. During this period Arabs, Turks and Afghans ruled at different times. Diplomatic representatives of the Persian Empire disappear ed from the Courts of the Empor- ors of Old Cathay.
 Exchange of Notes
 Sino- Persian relations formally were resumed by an exchange Of notes between diplomatic envoys of the two countries in Rome in 1929, but the arrival of Hossein Khan Keyostevan marks the first move on the part of either coun- try to implement the agreement with an envoy.
 No diplomatic, or consular rep resentative of China yet has been sent to Persia.
 The Persian envoy to China plans to establish consulates in both Shanghai and Ranking. He is a veteran in his country's con- sular service and plans to negoti- ate & commercial agreement and to cement cultural relations be- tween these ancient nations. Paid Tribute Prior to the break in Sino- Persian diplomatic relations there was considerable contact between the two countries. History records that in the 6th Century Persian ambassadors came to China to pay their respect at the great Court of Tai Tsung, founder of the Tang Dynasty and brought gifts.
 Then camel trains traveied across Asia, carrying tea and spices and silks.

 Washington boasts the coun- try's third best pet cemetery, where, under marble markers, are buried dogs, cats, hoyses, parrots, and one canary. Fee for the heapest burial is ten dol- lars. Ambassador Hugh Wallace, on the death of a beloved Ger man shepherd, summoned an un- dertaker and sent the dog out to "Aspin Hill" in specially pre- pared coffin to be buried with a formality that cost five hundred dollars.

The Connecticut company is waging war on the hitch-hiker. It is partly for selfish reasons, but they can be excused Loss of revenue by the company is blamed to some extent on the increasing number of hitch hikers along our roadways. If more mo- torists keep. right along the beaten paths when they see an uplifted thumb or hand instead of stopping and taking on the transient, the company believes a double purpose would be served. It would mean that more money would be spent on trans portation. It would mean that fewer crimes would be committed. Many a hitch-hiker, not all naturally, are potential criminals. Too often the man to whom you give ride merely waits the chance to assault perhaps murder you and take your valuables if not your car. It's sound reasoning. Don't be too kind-hearted to hitch-hikers.

It is said that State Chairman David A. Wilson wants Rexford Tugwell, undersec- retary of the Department of Agriculture, to come to Connecticut to give at least two campaign speeches this summer or early fall. MT Tugwell (should we call him doc tor?) is reputed to be the brainiest of the brain-trusters. He is an up and coming member of the presidents New Deal and if he says something about what the ad ministration is doing or plans to do it can be regarded as fairly accurate. Of course coming to Connecticut to soothe the savage beast at large in our political midst is an entirely different matter. He might be just the speaker of whom republicans might make much mock. And the dem- ocrats of Connecticut can't afford to be held up to much more ridicule than they have already. If we can't settle our own patronage difficulties how are we to come to decision with regard to the more per- picking question of party nominees? Much of what is to be done will be forthcoming after the state central committee meets on July II.

"A Book a Day
Fight on Mosquito is Stirring Drama
By BRUCE CAPTION

Since the theatrical stock com. to their decline, about the only way we provincials can keep up with the theater is by waiting for the publishers to issue the text of plays in book form; and one of low Jack" written by Sidney How Kruif - is now available in that gulse. ."| This Is a play built, as its name suggests, around medical sciences long fight with yellow fever. The william of the play is invisible--a germ which even the most power full of microscopes cannot discover and most of the action takes place in laboratories; yet 1t Is in tensely dramatic and exceedingly stirring, even in printed form. It begins by showing us u scien- lists in a London laboratory in the present day, struggling to de- wise vaccine for the fever. Then 1t shifts back step, to show a doctor in West Africa discovering how the disease can be transimt- ted to Indian monkeys, thereby making the experiments for the vaccine possible.
 And then 1t jumps clear back to Havana in the days of the Am. erican occupation-the days of Reed and Gorgas and Lazear and Carroll, struggling valiantly' to keep American soldiers from dying of pestilence.
 There is real, honest melodrama in this. strange in 1t may seem these tired, discouraged scientists unable to believe their senses when they find the solution bound up with commonplace mosquito then risking their lives to prove | themselves right.
 l An excellent job of dramatizing one of medicines greatets victories has been done. and you'll get lot of entertainment out of it. Pumblished by Harcourt, Brace and Co.,. the play sells for $2.
