The old hot corner, burning up this
year by reason Of the screwy hops
that lively ball takes down the infield,
has been yelping for younger blood.
Youth has answered.
Time was when q veteran infielder
who had lost his zip, but still had q
good noodle on his shoulders, would
be shifted from second or short down
to third. This was evident in the case
o: little Joe Sewell, who, when he
slowed up at short for Cleveland, was
shifted to third and stayed there until
his last active year in 1888 with the
Yanks.
More recently this was demonstrate
ed in the Yankee lineup. when Tony
Lazzeri was moved from second to
third to make room for young Don
Heffner. and later relegated to the
bench in favor of Jack Saltzgaver.

There Is No Escape

Samuel Insull seems to have taken on most of the aspects of a will-o' '-the-wisp. On this side of the Atlantic, black head lines tell the latest news of his wander ings; on the other side he fits about the borders homeless and restless, fugitive harried by some compulsion whose roots go deeply into subsoil of the land that he has disowned.
 Of all the strange figures of these tenn pestuous years, this self-exiled utilities juggler surely is one of the strangest. He climbed high and he fell long way; and although retribution seems quite un- able to overtake him, no one need imagine that his tortuous flight is enabling him to escape anything.
 Consider what he had few years ago. He was rich beyond dreams and powerful beyond any mans need. He was an in- dustrialist financier, a patron of the arts. If an ambitious brokers clerk had dreamed wildly extravagant dream of worldly greatness, it would not have come up to the reality which was Samuel In- sulPs.
 Everything that cleverness and acquisl- tiveness and ruthless energy could get for a man, in a land where those qualities were allowed to function unchecked, he had won. All this he had, and all of 1t has dissolved like the mists of yesterday morn ing. His principality has shrunk to a rusty Greek freight steamer; his domin- ion extends to her bridge, but no farther.
 The ship wallows across the eastern seas bound for Abyssinia, or for Persia, or per haps for Somaliland it does not matter, for Insull really is hunting a port not to be found on any chart, place of refuge that this life with it's imperfections, never will open to him again.
 It makes, indeed, very little difference whether the man ever actually is collared and brought back to America. He carries his own punishment with him; an unqulet shade that must stand eternally at his elbow and remind him of the kingdom that he lost, the reputation that he destroyed.
 How can man run away from thing like that? Insull cannot; no man can. He can dodge from one out-of-the-Way sea- port to another to the end of time. It does not matter. Retribution caught up with him long time ago.

This is election year. There are many offices to be filled at the coming elections. Republicans started to gird themselves for this fray a long time ago. They are count ing on regaining the governorship and the two congressional seats now held by democrats not to mention control of both houses of the Legislature. If they do this, the state returns to it's traditional g.o.p. tendencies of restricted rights for all save those of the republican political faith.
 That is good policy for party to fol- low if it wants to maintain strangle hold on the state. But Connecticut tired of the stranglehold that was maintained here so many years and threw it off in 1880 by electing Governor Cross to office. A fur ther effort to escape the grip that chokes was made successfully two years later. Democrats have a right to be proud of their success in Connecticut. But the battle is only just begun. Therefore, we say to men and women, both, prepare for a hard fight this fall. Do your preparing right now.

Westchester County Planning

Some days ago we referred to the fact that Fairfield county is making plans to become the first planned" county in New England. We presume its proximity to Westchester county in New York is re- sponsible in some part for this undertak ing This and the fact that Fairfield county is growing so rapidly due to the ingress of residents from the New York metropolitan area make certain changes necessary. Hence the planned" county idea arises.
 Of course, the construction of the Mer- ritt Highway precipitated the plan. Nothing has quite So aroused the people as this highway intended primarily to be a parallel route to the Boston Post road and thus relieve traffic congestion at var ious bottle-neck points along it. Out of the Merritt Highway has come desire to criss-cross the entire county with park ways. Eventually, we presume, county planning will extend to other projects.
 We happened to notice in metropolitan newspapers this week that S2,437, 900 bond issue being floated by Westchester county had just been purchased by sym dicate of New York bankers. The bonds are to be used to finance eight projects, one of them only being a park. The re- mainder are sanitary sewers in different localities in the county. The food in the item was not contained in the sale of the bond issue, but in the fact that low in- terest rate of 4.45 per cent indicated the county's credit had again been established in financial circles.
 Doubtless all this and more is envis- toned by those Fairfield county residents who are behind the "planned' county movement We are only sorry that the actual construction of the Merritt High way has not been made the first major project of the "planned'' county. We can't argue that the road won't benefit the state as whole, but we can only draw our conclusions that ultimately we may see county roads in Fairfield, not to mention parks, so why not now.

 But now the mistake has been rectified. Or at least so the record shows. A. J. s. Weaver, sugar administrator of the AAA, has changed his testimony.

Know Your Waterbury Its History, Facts and General Information
HISTORY

The so-called New England thrift and ingenuity were pretty well de- veloped in places like Waterbury,
 and 8 certain genius for manufac- turing was early manifested here where so many industries were be- gun, and which industries later grew to enormous proportions. Dr Anderson states that strange as it may seem "Waterbury owes her prosperity to the poorness of her soil" Watertown and Plymouth were noted for their good soil, but of course were separated from Wa terbury at an early date.
 As has been previously stated in reference to the first signs of in- dustries here, the sawmills and griSt mills, tanneries, and so on, supplied the necessary means for the wants of the inhabitants. Man ufacturing progressed at first only so far as to take care of the needs of those residing here. It was not until considerably later that the manufacturing expanded to carry out the city's reputation of some thing on everyone" It is said that perhaps the first man to look be- yond the local market for his goods was Joseph Hopkins, who conducted silversmith shop. Some guns were made here during the revolution that had foreign use.
 Hopkins conducted, in addition to l the silversmith business, other en- terprises including the making of

A Stronger Party

Mrs Fannie Dixon Welch, national committeewoman from Connecticut and also our Collector of the Port, in address ing group of democratic women this week in East Hartford stressed the need of women taking more active interest in their party. That injunction need not be limited to women alone. It could include the men and still be mighty fine advice. We say to the men to get interested in their political organizations. Standing on the sidelines and criticizing will never solve civic problems.
 Here in Connecticut there is plenty ot work for the right type of men desirous of devoting their lives to public service.

Geneva Letter
BY IAN FRASER
nited Press Stan Correspondent

| united PreSS Stan Correspondent l Geneva (UP).--Skiing in Switz- erland, once a sport of the wealthy, has been democratized. Capitalists, clerks and office boys lose their sense of class on the skiing fields of Switzerland.
 The most fashionable skiing centers such as St. Moritz, Wen I gen and Murren, as we'll as the less pretentlous places, are filled with more ski trippers than ever before. Office boys from Zurich, Berne and Geneva crowd into ex- cursion trains which take them to snow clad slopes where they min- gle with sons and dukes and bank CTS.
 Warmth of Sun
 The warmth of the sun at these lr o t s, where sunburn can sometimes kill, has a mellowing and generous effect upon foreign visitors arriving from cold and foggy climates, according to resi- dents at winter sports centers.
 Royalty and commQper, manu- facturer and factory hand, dress alike on the skiing field. Skiing equipment is now within the reach l OL dii, pIlCcS udNlIS Uccu IcuuCeu considerably. The number of "gadgets" for skiers are, however, increasing. This unessential equip- ment, generally stored away in a knapsack, marks the wealthy skier from the rest.
 Englishmen and their families flock to Wengen and Murren in such large numbers that they outnumber the Swiss there. A party of Swiss ski trippers to Wengen admitted that they had chosen that center "becauseN we want to see bit of England and cannot afford to go to London" | Walters who served kings and queens at Swiss mountain resorts are despairing that the prosperous clientele will ever spend as much as before the economic crisis. In the marble dining halls of St. Moritz one now sees bronzed city workers waited on by fiunkeys. They mostly drink beer, obtain ing specially low rates in the ho- tels which cater more than ever for Swiss townspeople who are keeping alive resorts which other wise. would be threatened with ruin.
 | Swiss Early Risers
 |. Swiss boys and girls get up earlier than /any other people to practice their favorite sport. While the street lamps still are lit, they can be seen streaming to .l the stations and principal streets where motor-coaches are waiting to speed them away from fog and smoke to mountain resorts where the sun is often stronger in win ter than, in summer.
 Il The noise of hundreds of metal trimmed ski boots, and the clank of skis which they balance on their shoulders reminds the wis., itors of fully equipped troops on the march. Swiss girls carry their own skis - steadfastly refusing aid from the men-besides carry ing ski sticks. a heavily loaded knapsack including a blanket, wax for skis. seal skins fastened to skis , for climbing, food and drink. also many ski ''gadgets."

Woolcott's Tales
 Are Entertaining

In some ways it hardly seems worth while to review Alexander Woollcott's new book, While Rome Burns" MT Woollcott, al- ready having done such a thor ough job of reviewing it himself, once over the air and once in the pages of "The New Yorker" any, thing anyone else could say would seem to be more of less super fluous.
 Nevertheless, you may have missed this authors words of ap- preciation of his own book, so we may as well discuss it here for a time.
 while Rome Burns" then, is a collection of short pieces by this graceful and talented commentator. Most of them are pretty entertain ing.
 There is a collection of little horror stories, for instance, very neatly told. There are Mir Wooll- cott's observations on Russia, airy land humorous.
 There is his recital of the some what startled thought evoked in his mind by his young niece. There is-and am grateful for it-a re- print of his priceless review of owen wister's book on Theodore Roosevelt.
 Witty, urbane,. detached, civiliz- ed-these, I suppose. are the prop CT adjectives to apply to this book. It's a handy thing to dip into after dinner while you're waiting for the people to come in for bridge; it's a nice book to put on the bedside table in the guest room. If 1t gets wee mite precious, in spots, the fact remains that MT Woollcott is a very gifted teller of tales, and the book is, in the main, pretty good stun.
 Published by Viking. 1t is priced lat $2.75.

When her family decided to try to leave Rus sia during the revolution they spent tortuous days in a farmer s cart covered with straw.
