Dear Jane Jordan-I am
young fellow and have been going
steady for the last four years with
a very nice girl. The last month
I have changed very much. I
want to go out and have a good
time and do what I please. My
girl is the type that will not stand
for such a thing. She thinks that
after 1 have been decent this long
that I shouldn't change now. She
likes me real we'll and I have liked
her till now. Tell me what I
should do. Should I keep on as
I have been or drop this nice girl
and find some one different?
Answer imagine that you will
have your fling regardless of any
advice of mine. Perhaps it is just
as well for you to go ahead and get
your craving for excitement out of
your system. You may regret the
loss of your nice girl when you are
fed up with looser ladies.
On the other hand, you'll prob
ably feel cheated if you step on
your urges and you'll make the girl
suffer for lettering you in your de-
sires. Whichever you do, I can offer
you the far from-comforting assur-
ance that you'll probably regret it.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am a
young man 20 years old. / work,
but I don't have a car, so I don't
seem to have much chance with
the girls. I don't have great
amount of money to spend as I
have to help at home. I do enjoy
taking a young lady to show
now and then, but it seems they
don't like to ride street cars or
buses, and 7 can't afford taxis
all of the time. Is it just me or
is it the girls?
WITHOUT A CAR.
Answer-It is true that a cal
seems to be an important part OF
the modern courtship. Many girls
confess that their first question
about a young man does not con-
Germ his character so much as the
make of his car.
Nevertheless, 7 have never seen
young man of any personality
turned down because of his lack OF
a car. Your letter probably will
stir up a lot Of protest among girls
who are more interested in man
than his car.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am a
young man of 20 who has had
the misfortune to fall hopelessly
in love. My sentiments were
shared by the girl for a time. But
one day 1 introduced her to
good friend of mine who is noted
for his ability with the ladies.
Now he is going with her.
would gladly marry the girl if I
had the money, but with Harry
it is just another frolic.
However, she is infatuated with
his undeniable charm, and has
changed completely toward me.
What steps, if any, do you think
I should take? TROUBLED.
Answer-Occupy yourself with an
ether young lady. You should be
able to fall in love most delightfully."-
several times before you settle
down. Life is full Of disappoint-
ments and you may as well learn
to take them gracefully. 1t is also
full of many things to be enjoyed
in spite of unavoidable griefs.

A Courageous Veto

It took much courage on the part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to veto the independent offices appropriation bill, granting sharp increases in veterans benefits. It required only flew minutes for the House of Representatives to wreck this veto on forthcoming election. We presume we may be criticized for taking the Presidents part in this issue, but we think he was perfectly right in vetoing the bill We think the House played pol itics in it's overthrow of the veto.
 Before we enter into any discussion of respective merits of increases in veterans benefits, let us keep in mind the fact that in November every member of the House faces reelection if he or she is fortunate enough to become once more the nominee of respective parties. If we advance the claim that the overthrow of the veto was so overwhelming, we do so with the full knowledge that our congressman are fully aware of the opposition that could be raised against them by veterans organ izations.
 The really patriotic attitude toward the so-called bonus legislation in Washington. and also the intelligent attitude, IS that taken by Charles M. Kinsolving, president of the American Veterans Association, when he makes this declaration: that he and his organization flight for the deserv- ing veteran and for the dependents of those killed in line of duty while serving the flag; and that they oppose just as strenuously the tendency of politicians, professional veterans, profiteering patrl- ots to bring under government protection those who, to all intents and purposes, merely went to military school at the expense of the government, simply be- cause the latter element is numerically stronger and represents greater voting strength than the former"
 Hardly had the House vote on the vetoed bill been announced than the most powerful lobby now in the Capitol - the veterans went to work on the Senate to have it override the Presidents veto, also. If it does, it will be the first major defeat sustained by President Roosevelt. It will also be a serious criticism of the democratic Congress. It has allowed it. self to be swept off it's feet by the knowl- edge that elections are impending and no faction, such as the veterans constitute in every electorate, must be offended. No thought is held for balancing the budget or restraining unWarranted appropria- tions. The Senate now Wavers. Let us hope it has sufficient level-headed mem- bers to see clearly the pitfalls ahead.

How Politicians Work

The direct conflict that can arise be- tween partisan politics and the public interest was never better illustrated than in the current congressional row over the Norris amendment to the Home Owners Loan Corporation bill. Here, as clear cut as such thing could be, is case in which the claims of politics run directly opposite to the needs of the nation as whole The difference between a public servant and politician could not get better demonstration.
 The new bill makes certain changes in the HOLC law, guaranteeing the $2,OOO- O00,000 in bonds which the corporation may issue to protect hard-pressed home owners. Before the bill got by, Senator Norris of Nebraska tackled on an amend ment which would prohibit political con- alterations from playing any part in the choice of employees for this corporation.
 The Senate, after much prayer, fasting and beating of breasts, adopted this amendment by the margin of just one vote. Then the bill went to the House, where the banking committee immediate ly struck out the amendment Now there simply is not any question about the rights and wrongs of this amendment A corporation that can issue two billions in DOUuS CO IlOIe OWHcTS CdIl uO q Ncly SIVpt work, if it be directed properly; and Il can accomplish an uncommon amount ot very ugly phenagling if it's personnel hap pens to be made up of political hacks.
 Why, then, did the amendment have such rough sledding? The answer is plain as a pikestaff. Congressman need to be able to pass out jobs to their henchmen to make their reelection easier. This cor poration offers many new jobs; from the political viewpoint, it would be insane to pass up this chance for party profit.
 The federal government has taken on many more activities than it ever indulged in before. These activities touch us all very closely; they affect our wages, our jobs, the prices we pay for necessities, the con- ditions under which we work, the homes we live in.
 It is of the highest importance that they be conducted as efficiently as is humanly possible. If the politicians at Washing ton can see in the whole business nothing but fine new chance to lay their paws pm jobs for deserving democrats, the whole business sooHer or later is going to come enun about our ears.

HISTORY

Not much activity was recorded on Sled Hall brook in the west end of the town. Close to one hundred years ago it had q good flow of water and drained Tamarack swamp. The stream entered the Naugatuck where the hospital was then located. About 1750 there was said to have been a saw-mill here. Amer Bradley used Park Brook for power in running a plating shop on the east side of the Watertown road 0 period between 1860 and 1870. Park brook entered the Nau- gatuck near the mouth of SteeIs brook.
 SteePs brook out Watertown ave- nue had a great many privileges in the early nineteenth century. They included Slade's mill in Oakville, built in 1854 by Joseph H. Baird. Then what was later the Oakville company was an oil mill which Dr Anderson says was referred to in an 1907 deed. This deed re- ferred to described the grant as to include "A acres of land in the south part of Watertown, with @ fulling mill, carding machine and a house on the same, and an old oil mill standing near on Joseph Woodruff's land, as reserved to us in our deed to said Woodruff" Seba Bronson had grist mill here and General Gerritt Smith made pew

"All right. The law says labor may organize. We will organize our workers in unions of our own"
 DUG IN
 And that is what they did. While the A. F. of L. still was coralling auto workers, the exec utives set up company unions, put up lists of carefully hand picked candidates, held elections. Technically, they had compiled with the law. And they dug in in order to hold that front.
 The A. F. of l.. stand was that company unions are not real unions, but devices created by the employers to evade the law.
 So despite company unions the A. F. of L. aggressively pushed it's organizing activity-and with re- markable success. So much so that employers dared not risk a government-supcrvised poll of their employees on the issue of company union vs A. r. of l.. union. In at least one plant-the Fisher Body company-the en- tire company union, officers in- cluded, went over ep masse to the A. F. of l..
 Behind the closed doors of the New York conferences between General Johnson and auto man. ufacturers there were violent and bitter exchanges. The White House discussions have been po- lite and amicable on the surface, but tense and grim underneath. But behind both conferences the election demand of the workers was the sole problem.
 MERRY-GO.ROUND
 Back in Moscow, the naval and military attaches to the Soviet embassy here, have no rank. Technically, they are just the same as any other soldier, wear no epaulets, no gold braid, take no salutes. .. But because of their high standing in expert ence, the United States army and navy have given them diplomatic ratings higher than those of any other American army or naval officer except General MacAr-
 
 vich Burzin, military attache, now ranks as a lieutenant gener- al, while Paol Yurvitch Oras, naval attache, Is rated as q vice. admiral. Little Carter Glass, belligerent senator from Virginia. may not be altogether persona grata with the New Deal, but he has Q lot of ardent supporters in that staid old area below the Mason Dixon line. Mrs Mary Connor, national commit teewoman from Kentucky. is vot- ed the most popular member of the democratic national com mittee. Her champagne parties for social democracy are in the same category as Mrs Hur- ley's teas for dry republicanism. Senator Simeon D. Fess, It, tie bald republican shouter from Ohio, still is fighting the cam paign of 1882. =. Across every one of his diatribes-and they are frequent--is written the issue: Herbert Hoover vs Franklin D. Roosevelt. He can't forget 1t.

Berlin Letter
By EDWARD BEATTIE United Press Stan Correspondent

Berlin (UP)-Germany will one day be peopled with 65,000.000 standard Nazis." if present experi- ments reach a logical and.
 A nation with identical reactions and identical tastes would be ideal for Nazi purposes. Mass support well under way.
 The press and tn radio are com pletely unified. The theater aud the films are totally Nazi. The people never hear or see anything. officially at least, which has not survived the acid test of the Pro- paganda ministry.
 Naxi Doctrines.
 Scores of party organizations teach their members to respect good Nazi doctrines. Schools have been "harmonized" with the rest Young peoples organizations of all kinds have been melted into the giont Hitler Youth" and Hitler Maiden" leagues.
 Even the YMCA, the YWCA and the Evangelical Youth" disap- peared despite indignant church protest. Unless the Vatican out generals the present government. the Catholic Youth" will follow Hitler once remarked: "We don't need our former enemies; we've already got their children And from the child of six, toe young for the regular organiza- tions. who enters the Young Folk" and gets his first Nazi drill to the 18-year-old who is eligible for the storm Troops, the state. ment is fact.

The Camps Almost Ready

Next week the Federal Transient Mems Camp in the Nepaug Forest, near Burling- ton, will be opened to all and sundry who care to make use of it's rather palatial (so far as forest camps go) quarters. 1t is the first of Uncle Sam's camps in this state to house the wandering and homeless youth and his elders. While we still praise the purpose as most ideal one, we re- serve our opinion that perhaps this may not prove fitting sequel to the CCC camps.
 Maybe we'll be agreeably surprised. Ac- cording to reports from Hartford the temporary camp that was maintained throughout the winter at Albany avenue and North Main street, West Hartford, played host to many wanderer. This site would have been abandoned long since were it not for the fact that work on the Nepaug camp was delayed through incle- ment weather. Men can't brave 10-foot snow drifts and build shelters for 300 men. That's the capacity of the Nepaug camp.
 The CCC camps were universally hailed when proposed as white elephants. But they more than proved their worth. So much so that they will probably be con- tinued indefinitely or so long as there are .youHB IlcH III Cile HdIlOH WHiIIlB CO IIldII them. As we understand the purpose of transient camps it is to furnish a shelter for homeless men without a trade or pro- fession which they can ply. There will be sufficient manual labor to keep all campers physically fit There will be mental and recreational pursuits also.
 As we said above the plan is so ideal that we're afraid it won't succeed The weary wanderers of the road or the home less individuals that we find in almost every community may not be so prone to accept this looking after their comfort. And transients usually are just that. They come and go with the seasons. If the federal government can persuade them to spend their days in camps built just for their use, well a nice lesson in sociology may be taught us. We're for the camps in a hopeful manner.

Motorists who intend to use their auto mobiles after April 1 are allowed to secure registration plates this week, ac- cording to q ruling from Hartford. Con- necticuts pro-rata fees are still taken advantage of by many drivers. They don't care for winter driving and usually store their vehicles at the end of Decem- Der. The amount saved in reegistration fees, insurance, and wear and tear on the motor vehicle usually more than offsets the inconvenience of not having a car dur ing the first three months of the year. The value of storing an auto for three months was more than emphasized this winter. In recent years there has not been much trouble in operating autos all winter long, but unusual weather this year re- called the days when practically every owner of pleasure vehicle stored them for the first three months of the year. We wonder just what arrangements will be made to take care of this group Of motorists in the event that Connecticut adopts the permanent plate plan. We presume it can easily be arranged to pre- vent motorists using their plates before they are legally entitled to do so.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CAPTION
Cabell's New Book
 Describes A Dream

Branch Cabell's new book
 Shirt" is a book that devoted ad- mirers of this exceedingly talented writer will read with great delight. Other readers, however, may find it rather tough sledding.
 Technically, I suppose, 1t Is a novel: novel of the dream world, In which the protagonist, one Shirt, novclist-got up to bear an extraordinary resemblance to Mir Cabell himself--goes wander ing through the horn gate and has divers, odd adventures.
 Actually, however, it is a series of essays in MT Cabell's patented style; essays in which he once again expresses himself on life, literature, the place of urbanity in the arts and letters, and such as-
 poets of life in the republic as he
 finds displeasing.
 He restates his familiar creed that what an author has to say is of litle account. and that the man. ner in which he says 1t Is all im- portant. He gives vent to his i'm
 patience with interviewcrs, takes g fall out of the critics, and slyly JuDb Ut the Stutc VI Vnblna Uy uo sorting that the finest flowers of her civilization are Peggy Joyce, Bill Robinson, the colored tap dancer, and Charles Gilpin. the colored actor.
 For the rest, SmIrt lives up to the Cabeiiian tradition by finding ample opportunity for amorous dalliance even in the world of dreams.
 Tn the main (to repeat) the book seems to be aimed exclusively at those readers who dote on Mir Cabell's lightest utterance. If you are one of that devoted band, you'll like 1t immensely. If you aren't, 1t may leave you pretty cold. Published by McBride, 1t sells
 for s2.5O.
