 United Press StaR Correspondent
 Paris (UP).-For the first time in decades the famous pal- ace of Versailles. home of Louis XIV on the site of the ancient priory of St. Julien, will be the gathering place of international Society for an elab0ate ball July
 The chateau and surrounding grounds will be blaze of light from the hundreds of crystal chandeliers and the ghosts of all the kings of France will sway to the music of four 0rchestras. Modern jazz will float from the 375 windows of the palace, down the long wide avenue which leads directly to Paris.
 If the ghosts of Woodrow Wil- son and Georges Clemenceau mingle with the treachery of gorgeously g0wned opponents of international society on that oc- casion, 1t will not be astonishing. for they, and many. others. have played historic roles in this world famous building.
 Historic Building
 It was here that the States General assembled in 17S9; here that { h c German Empire was proclaimed in 1871; her that the Third Republic was voted in 1875 and the Treaty of Versailles signed in 1919.
 on the night of July 1, how. ever, problems of statescraft will be banished and the Byronic command of "On with the dance! Let Joy be unconfined" will be. come the watchword. For several hours, at least. the chateau will be restored to the usage origin- ally intended for 1t by Louis xIC. The famous Hall of Mirrors, 23S feet long, the private apartment of Louis XIV, and of Marie Antoi. nette, will reflect hte highest art of the French cbuturier and evoke the genius of Parlsian jewellers.
 Restore Pre.War Elegance
 The bali is being sponsored by the ;'saisons de Paris" an or- ganization headed by the Marquis de PoIignac, the purpose of which is to restore the pre-war eIesances of Paris. and to stage dinneds. dances, receptions and all the galety and gIamcr of those un- troubled days.
 FashIonable folk Of all nations will struggle for the reputation og being the best-dressed woman. or man. at the sparkling affair. and the ancIomt walls Will resound

Bathing beaches in the vicinity of Bridgeport are being polluted by sewage that enters the harbor at the rate of 35,- 000,000 gallons daily, reports Health or ficer Dr Richard OB. Shea in recent interview with the Times.Star. Tn the interest of the citizens of our city and our bathing beaches, as well as the interest of public health" said Dr Shea, attention must be called to the need for suitable sewage disposal plants. :" That seems to be the crying need of every large com- munity today. Fortunately the majority of them in this state are conscious of the need of taking such precautions and are moving as rapidly as finances permit toward the day when all water pollution will end and disposal plants will neutral ize all wastes. Waterbury is equally con- cerned over it's pollution of the Naugatuck river. So are Torrington, Naugatuck, and the towns at the mouth of the river, Ansonia Derby, and Shelton. In the days to come we expect to see the entire Nauga- tuck valley cleansed of pollution and to find the stream itself restored to the glory that was it's many years ago. It's going to cost money to do this, but the expense is nothing compared to the value returned in public safety.

One more society steps forward to add it's two cents worth to the growing clamor over the Mothers Day commemora- tive stamp. The Museum of Modern Art of New York is the latest to term it multilation. While 1884 is the tooth an- niversary of Whistler's birth the stamp was issued not so much to honor the great painter as to pay respects to the mothers of this nation Wonder what they think of the stamp? After all, they count more than all the art societies in the world.

We're not so sure right now that former representative John o. Tilson isn't interested in the political race this fall. When the veteran legislator retired few years ago it was to devote his time to law practices in Washington We notice that he has twice in recent months been a speaker at g.o.p. gatherings in this state. Perhaps after all our suspicious are not backed by facts. He may just like to keep his hand in in this fashion.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Ice Cream Is Healfhful Fond

People who ought to know say that
ice cream is not only very nutritious
but easily digested, and for that rea-
son is much used in hospitals. Does
the factory product actually contain
milk or cream and eggs like the old
fashioned home made ice cream?
wv. r. o.
Answer-The factory product is
wholesome, nutritious and digestible
enough. Besides it is easy to eat!
However, it doesn't contain as much
milk or cream or egg as the old time
home made ice cream did. Perhaps
1t Is just as well, for US fattish GUS
toners at any rate.
It Is In the Mental System
Kindly tell me what to take or eat
to rid my system of acid. ID. E)
Answer-Just rid your mind of the
notion and you'll be all right. The
"acidosis" complex is absurd. No ac-
emulation of acid occurs in the body
except as CONSEQUENCE of some
illness, or from excessive fasting.

The Pettiness of Politics

L
It begins to look as II American
politics contains no chapter uglier
than the one written by Tammany
Hall in New York during the years
prior to Mr.. LaGuardia's election as
mayor.
The most recent revelations, deal
ing with the way political employees
swindled the aged, the blind. the fee
BILE, and the poverty-stricken wards
Of the city at the Welfare Island
Home for the Destitute, are about as
shocking as anything one could read.
Even the microscopic savings Of
these most unfortunate folk were not
too small for the Tammany hench-
men. They swindled these people
they were supposed to protect, took
the small sums that they had saved
to prevent burial in the Potter's
Field, and in general displayed
meanness and q petty spirit of
thievery that are almost beyond be-
lief.
Here we have the evils Of selfish
political control of a city government
carried to their logical conclusion. It
ought to be potent object lesson for
all OF US.

Promising OyertureS

The notes recently exchanged be-

the United States have an encourag-
ing ring to them. The Japanese
government asserts that mo question

wholeheartedly. All in all, the diplo-

genuine desire to end the troubled
