~ My a little more than a
week remains for the
Y hopeful youngsters who
- have their eyes on the
national amateur championship
TO get their entries for the tour
ney In TO the United States Golf
Association.
The deadline for entries for the
national viii come at pm. August
2. and the u. g. O. A. doesn't take
excuses Either the lads get their
names in on time or they do not have
chance to play in the sectional
qualification rounds
Roger Peacock. the big BAN from.
Indian Spring. will head the local
delegation 10 enter the tourney. The
Washington group probably will total
some Is or 20 ilopefuls in the sec

10 Places Probable.

MO MAN knows now how many
places will be open in the tour
ney at Five Farms on August
81. That will be determined by the
u. s. @. A. after entries close on
August =. But there is every proba-
bility that the Middle Atlantic Sec
ton, which includes for this tourna-
ment Maryland, Virginia, the District
Of Columbia and North Carolina, viii
have at least 10 places.
Last year there were nine places
open, with five of them going to
Washington golfers. But last year
there were only i4I places open all
over the country. This year there
are 1870 places open under the new
system OF running of the champion
ship at straight match play and so
probably the local quota win be raised
to q dozen or more. The U. s. @. A.
bases the number of places in each
section on the number of entries re-
ceived from each section and the
known playing strength Of the golf
ers in each sector.

reports and comments in our state press. Nobody. has yet asked Chairman Rora- back if he would approve Attorney AL corn. To our knowledge no one has yet asked MT Alcorn if he wants to run.
 It makes excellent reading, though, to leave the matter in doubt. It also in- creases the chances, to our way of think ing, of Lieutenant Governor Roy C. Will cox of Meriden. So long as his party is not committed to Alcorn, Tilson or any other potential candidate, not now hold ing state or federal office, he is very much in the running. A good many republicans. who think only in terms of Alcorn or per haps Tilson, now that his name has been mentioned, will be surprised when con- vention time arrives and some accounting of the Wilcox strength throughout the state is taken. As for us democrats to date we can't see that Governor Cross has struck out on slow ball, fast ball or curve.

That World War Gyp

When that much-discussed "next war" comes along, and we find ourselves, in spite of our peace resolutions beginning to think that maybe we ought to get into it from duty or necessity or national in- terest, or just because we're mad at the other country, it may be wise to consider some figures given out by President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University He says our last war cost the participants $4O0,O00, 100000. That sum is inconceivable It becomes more understandable when he breaks it up as follows:
 It would have bought five acres of land, $2,500 house and $1,000 worth of equipment for every family in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, France, Belgium, Russia, Germany and Australia. It would also have provided a $5,O0O,000 library and $10,000,000 university for every city of 10000 or more population in all these countries. In addition, it would have provided an endowment fund perma- nently paying for 125,000 teachers and 125,000 nurses. And there would still have been enough left to buy France and Belgium. Better file away these facts to refer to when the time comes and the jingoes start ballyhooing.

HISTORY

Cooke and North Main streets
 run slightly different from the or
 iginal layout; that is to say North
 Main above lower Cooke street was not included in the original plan, and Cooke ran in a more westerly direction. Dr Anderson says ian
 other old street that did not exist
 in the earliest period is that part of Mill which runs along the Mad
 river from the Baldwin street
 bridge to the factory of the Amer ican Mills Company" It is stated
 also that Cole street was not in the original layout, and that part of Cherry street which runs direct ly north and south was not really opened until 1725, and it's upper end, running east and west, not
 until 1746.
 An important street opening
 during the early period of Water
 bury's history was that of South Main street. Even up to the middle of the nineteenth century South Main did not completely follow out it's present course as a map published in 1852, and shown to the writer, sketches, the line show ing a break about South Main and

The plan to establish a $5OO,OOO endow-

The plan to establish $500,0O0 endow- ment fund in this state as memorial to the late Bishop E. Campion Acheson seems like a sound idea Proceeds of it would be used to defray the expenses of the bishops of the Episcopal diocese of Hartford. This move was suggested in a recent letter printed in the Connecticut Churchman. Such a fund would relieve the many parishes in the state of bur den now imposed on them. It was pet idea of Bishop Acheson's before he died and it's accomplishment now certainly would be fitting tribute to him. Vari- ous means were to be taken to raise the $50O,O00 fund. Requests in wills, not to mention definite offerings, were only two of the ways by which some portion of the fund was to be raised. It's worth serious consideration.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Calls The New Deal A Real Revolution

"The essence of the peaceful revolution which has begun under Roosevelt is that it is a new deal and not a free-for-all. The game | is big and the stakes are as high as ever have ben recorded in our history, but it is gentlemanly game and none of the cards is marked"
 In this way one of the most in- l teresting and valuable of the spring books, "The New Dealers Written by gentleman who calls himself e"The Unofficial Ob- server" sums up the events of the last year.
 1 The book is blunt in calling what is going on in Washington a revo- lution. But it is equally emphatic in saying that President Roosevelt is not responsible for it.
 This revolution, it says, would have come without him, and it will go on if he should cease to be it's greatest advertisement"
 For what is happening, it says, is simply this: We are making our transition from an age of scarcity to an age of plenty, and the pro- | CeoS lS dS lHcFlIdULC tiAu SiS llIcS- capable as the tides.
 What Roosevelt has done is to make the change a peaceable one.
 Going on from this viewpoint, the author discusses MT Roosevelt and his associates with complete frankness.
 For the president himself the book has the highest praise. He has given us, it says, hope action, and national self-respect, at time when we neded. all three impera- lively.
 By so doing, he saved us from chaos and violence.
 The books anlyses of such men as Johnson, Tugwell, Wallace, Ickes, and the rest are amazingly vivid and fortnight.
 l All in all, it is remarkably readable and stimulating piece of work-the best review of the new deal that has yet appeared. | Published by Simon and Schus- ter, it sells at $2.75. It is the April choice of the Literary Guild Copyright 1884. NEA Service, Inc.

Tilson For Governor

They just won't let former Representa- tive John Q. Tilson enjoy his private life. While we don't claim to know his reac- tions to the life of Washington attorney, which existence he is enjoying right now after many long years devoted to the pub lie service we feel sure he is glad of a few years respite. However, there seem to be those in the republican ranks in Connecti- cut who feel that to carry the coming state election the party's ticket must be headed by "name" candidate, one who has enjoyed political prestige and pop'l- larity.
 A special dispatch to the Hartford Times from Washington credits the Til son boom as originating with Commis- sioner of Insurance Howard Durham. It is needless to say that Commissioner Dun- ham, republican, is one of those office holders whose term expires on July l, 1885. It is believed in political circles, particularly republican, that if the demo- crats return to office this fall in sufficient strength MT Durham and perhaps Com- missioner of Motor Vehicles John A. Mac donald will be dropped and democrats named to their places. The belief is cer- tainly most logical.
 But more than that Commissioner Dun ham is regarded as Roraback republl- can. It might then be logically demon strated that the astute state chairman was taking pains to prevent the nomina- tion of States Attorney Hugh Alcorn of Hartford. Right now Attorney Alcorn would seem to be the man for the repub- Iicans to nominate, if they actually did want good "name" candidate. But the Roraback- -Alcorn tie-up has never been any too secure. if we are to judRe all the

Berlin Letter
By PAUL KECSKEMETI United Press Staff Corrcspondent

Berlin (UP).-A return to the wartime "ersatz" system of sub | stitutes for everyday necessities is foreseen, here. aa l It is suggested in some quarters ! as the logical outcome of the | speech of Dr .Hjalmar Schacht, governor of the Reichsbank, before the United States Chamber of Con-
 merce in Berlin. In that speech pr Schacht indicated that Germany may beforced to reduce very heay- fly imports of raw materials be-
 cause of the exhaustion of Ger
 many's supplies of currency. Revival of System
 This was interpreted by many as
 a prediction of the revival of the
 ersatz system under which home-
 grown raw materials would be sub- stituted for those of foreign origin which Germany might be unable to import. An extension of the use
 of German raw materials was an- ticipated in the textile and tobac-
 co industries.
 Most experts, however, are dis inclined to take such prophecies
 too seriously. They suggest alter
 native methods by which Germany
 may remedy the currency short
 age without cutting imports to an
 extent which would be disastrous to her own industry.
 Two Alternatives
 Two such alternatives are men | toned. The first Is a complete
 moratorium on foreign debt pay
 ments. The second is the deyalu- ation of the mark for the purpose
 of stimulating exports.
 It is believed that Dr .Schaeht's
 own plan is along the line of re- duction of foreign debt payments.
 It Is expected that he will propose
 an extension of the present trans
 fer moratorium. M Tn view of this. the Reichsbank
 again has lost 45, ,000, 900 marks in gold currency, indicating that the
 present payments are apt to over
 throw the equilibrium of the cur
 rency.

Washington, April 20-Nobody paid much attention to it until the Stock Market fight got hot, but some people are beginning to wonder how Senator Alva B. Adams, democrat. of Colorado, was appointed to the Banking and Currency committee.
 Another member of this com mittee is Senator Costigan, also a democrat, also from Colorado. Senator Costigan, progressive, is a veteran member. Adams, elected on the Roosevelt land slide, is rookie.
 In no other case are two sen- ators, from the same party. and from the same state, appointed to the same committee.
 THE REASON
 But in Adams case there's a reason. Although not general ly known. he was appointed at the instance of Senator Carter Glass, arch-enemy of Koosevelt's fiscal policies. Also behind Adams was Senator Joe Robin son. The latter has been CO., operating closely with Roosevelt but in this case he acted at the suggestion of Harvey Couch, Ar kansas banker and utility mag nate.
 Both Glass and Couch wanted Tory support on the citally im- yOrtant Banking Committee. Adams, they knew, was a hard- headed, conservative, small town banker. They felt they could depend on him.
 Their confidence was not mis- placed. Although posing as a liberal in Colorado, Adams has led the secret committee fight to emasculate the Stock Market Bill. '.'' s DRY TENNEs5EEAN

 Secretary Hull was all of these things at the dinner given on Pan American day in commem- oration of the anniversary of the Spanish Republic.
 Near the end, Spanish Am- bassador Cardenas, the host, proposed a toast. Lifting a glass of dark Spanish sherry, he said:
 "We drink to the President of the United States and the Presi- dents of all Spanish-A h-American Republics, and propose that we drink it in this wine, called La Raza' ('The Racc' in token of the race which unitcs us."
 Although Cordell Hull could not understand the Ambassador Spanish. he knew that it was his duty as Secretary of State to reply. And he did-most eloquently-except for one thing.
 He picked the wrong wine. MRS GREENWAY'S COURT

That Was Quick Action

LaSC week freSlQenC James l.. McCoE- aughy of Wesleyan University criticized our state hospital at Middletown and our officials for permitting such an institu- tion to exist. He found no fault with those who manage the hospital. His com plaint was that the present buildings had outgrown their usefulness, constituted firestraps, and were inadequate to care for the number of people now on waiting lists and desiring admission. We commented at the time that such criticism wasn't new to this state It was last heard in 1927
 Yesterday we read the report of Com- missioner of Finance and Control Edward F. Hall in which he submitted plans for might to some extent help out conditions at Middletown. His plan, involving ulti- mate expenditures of four to five millions in the two year period, 1935-37, called for an enlargement of the state hospital at Newtown to permit 1000 additional beds; new home for the feeble-minded; com pletion of the veterans home at Rocky Hill.
 At present the Newtown hospital will accommodate 500. The hospital is being built on the unit plan and is subject to ex- pansion at any time when funds for addi- tional units are made available. We pre-, sume the addition of 1000 beds would call for construction of two new units. The cost would be $1,5OOO00. Down at Nor wich the capacity is 2,345, while that at Middletown is 3,154. No year passes, though, but what more than this number is taken care of at either institution. So the need of expansion of the existing and modern hospital at Newtown is certainly logical.
 The demand for a home for feeble minded to supplement the Mansfield State Training School and Hospital has been so apparent for long time that an active campaign was launched during the last legislative session and still continues. The Hall plan recognizes the need and calls for new home to cost between $4,OOO,- 900 and $5,O00,000. One million, five hun dred thousand dollars of this would be ap- propriated in 1885 to purchase site and construct the first unit. As for the veterans home at Rocky Hill there never was any argument about it's need. The sole cause of complaint was the change of location from Noroton to Rocky Hill, which is near Hartford.
 We have no intention of opening old sores. The Veterans Home commission has been under fire for many months due to it's activities in having the Legislature authorize transfer of the home from Noroton, where it was established many years ago as private institution. Since the die is cast, we might as we'll see to it that the Rocky Hill project goes through as planned. There is nothing said, so far as we can see, about floating bonds for this huge outlay of public funds in the next two or three years. Yet we don't see how it's going to be possible to finance the projects, not to mention others that will secure approval, in view of the fact that next January will bring us an $S,- 100000 deficit There's problem greater than even the task of expanding our sadly-neglected institutions. Our only iibe is that these needs were just as ap- parent in 1927 as they are in 1884.

On May 20 Congress will meet in joint session, so that our national lawmakers will have to be in Washington for the oc- casion whether they want to be or not. Any way Congress now doesn't hope to adjourn until June l. The joint session is called to commemorate a similar cere- mony held for the first time 100 years ago.

Open betting on New York tracks (that sounds funny to some people) is assured under terms of bill that has passed both houses of the Legislature and simply awaits Governor Lehman's signature. Even now it may have been affixed as he has signified his approval. The bill sim ply legalizes what is going on at most of New York's race tracks and has been for years. Betting has been illegal on N Y. tracks since 1908, but has been carried on under cover with no return naturally to the state. Now the state will collect 15 per cent tax on the gross receipts of the tracks Incidentally the measure is ex- pected to be boon to the major tracks, which suffered severe financial setback in the last five years, dropping we'll over million dollars in that time. One clause of the measure just passed makes it pos sible for person to sue to recover money lost at tracks. This is designed to remove any hint of unconstitutionality. We pre- sume that removing the ban on betting will jump receipts tremendously this sum- mer. The test will be met immediately as the racing season in the metropolitan area opens Saturday.
