Now They've Got It

Druggists in Connecticut are rejoicing today. They won their fight to compel the State Liquor Control Board to issue them druggists permits. A Supreme Court decision rendered yesterday denies the right of the board to refuse issuance of these permits upon proper application. Chairman Frank Bergin of the board lnl- mediately announced that it would comply with the court ruling. There are said to be 700 druggists in this state who can take advantage of the right to secure permits. We wonder if all of them will.
 From the very beginning it seemed rather peculiar that drug store should not be able to obtain what is styled right in the liquor control act as druggist per init. The board refused to issue such per mits when application was made. 1t stated that drug stores would have to secure package store permits. The one thought that was always in this writer's mind was just who was eligible for druggist per- init. If not the drug stores, then surely not grocery stores to whom package store permits are readily granted If the neces- sary requirements are met.
 When the law was drawn up and pre- sented to the Legislature last year It's authors certainly had in mind some deh- nite group of individuals when 1t pro- posed various types of permits for various types of retailers There certainly was no reason to call one permit druggist permit if it wasn't intended for druggists. Why drug stores should have to be con- sidered package stores was more than we could understand There certainly would have to be some differentiation, but under the discretionary powers that the control board took upon itself there very plainly wasn't. The courts of the state recognized this and ruled accordingly.
 Some people seem to think this will re, suit in an immediate demand from all druggists for their particular type ot per mt. We don't think so. There will, to be sure, be definite number seeking them in every town. But there will be many who will not desire to enter competition with the many package stores and pack age departments of grocery stores. They're pretty we'll established after three months of trade. The redeemlng feature for the druggists is that fact that their hours of sale will permit them to beckon trade when the package stores must remain closed. Druggists will also be the only retailers allowed to sell in quantities less than quarts or fifths. This is distinctly to their advantage.
 However, there is every reason to be- lieve that the success attained by drug gists of Connecticut in securing court mandate against the liquor commission may embolden other dissatisfied groups to seek redress in the same fashion. We don't predict success for them, though.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Is A Clumsy Lover The Modern Male

Women made the mistake of their lives when they fought for equality. They got it, all right, after a long fight, but in getting it they lost all the romance of life. And they won't be happy until they get back to the unjust old days of inequality.
 This, at any rate, is what ] gather from a reading of Edith M. Sterh's sprightly and charmingly bitter little book, ''Men Are Cum sy Lovers"
 The burden of Miss Stern's la ment seems to be that the arrival of sex equality immediately spoiled men as lovers.
 A man, she says, used to plead and beg for the favors of his lady love; he would swear undying af- lection, promise her the moon with a handle on it, and, figura- lively at least, abase himself in the dust at her feet.
 But now? Now she's his equal. So he begs and pleads no more. He offers her his affection with a take ke-it-or-leave-it manner. He suggests that he is doing her a faVOr Dy OIIerlnS IL at all.
 Nor is that all. In the old days, says Miss Stern, the smitten male frequently offered marriage, not because he wanted to, but be- cause he couldn't get to first base any other way.
 Now he scorns such a strate. gem. He brides himself on being honest" takes pains to make il clear that he is not a prospective husband.
 All in all, says Miss Stern, il makes things pretty tough.

Children's Trees

It was Nebraskan, J. Stirling Morton, one time United States Secretary of Agri- culture, who had the first Arbor Day es- tablished in this country. He introduced a resolution in the Nebraska legislature in 1872 setting aside April 10 for the planting of trees and suggested that it be called Arbor Day. Some years later the idea had become so firmly fixed that the legislature changed the date to April 22, Morton's birthday, and made it legal holiday in Nebraska. The idea spread, until every state and territorial possession of the United States now has an Arbor Day. The dates vary with the climate. In most states it is observed in the month best suited for tree planting.
 Interest in trees and understanding of their importance has been increasing in recent years. Arbor Days should, there fore, be more interesting and useful than ever. It would be impressive and lot of fun for children if fathers and mothers who plan to set out another tree in the back yard this spring would do it, if pos sible, on the local Arbor Day and let the youngsters make real ceremony of it. Certain trees might be given to the kids. A child loves to have tree of his own in the yard. He watches it develop with keener interest when it is regarded as his possession. Small fruit trees are excel lent for this purpose.

Give Us Mutual Aid

How wrong we were in calling for the dissolution of the Mutual Aid in Water bury some months back is seen in the news of the day. We read that 16O men finished their CWA duties this week for good. Next week a slightly larger force will be dropped from the lists. This will continue each week until by March 3l, just one month ahead of the date pre- iously set, the entire CWA force ln the United States will have been dlsbanded. No doubt by that time we will be begln- ming what is regarded in our northern climate as the warm season. However, we can't expect that the large army ot CWA men and women will have 1ound employ- ment It's impossible.
 Into this breach we can only thrust that most helpful organization of ours, the Mutual Aid. We sincerely trust that following today's meeting of the board It will have been decided to resume Mutual Aid pledges. They will be needed more than ever now, because we know that many of the men and the women who must be dropped from CWA pay-rolls will be forced to accept the offer the Mutual Aid will make them-employmen at nom- inal wages for definite hours throughout the week. It is extremely fortunate that the city still has the organization intact, still has treasury with substanltai pal ance.
 There may be logic behind the orders of the CWA authorities at Washington. They may be we'll advised in ceasing all CWA activities on April 1. Probably the point has been reached when even federal aid of this type is exhausted. Perhaps the CWA officials believe that states and local communities are now in position to as- sume the role that Uncle Sam has throughout the last few months. The pur- pose of the CWA originally was to relieve local relief rolls of the tremendous bur; den of providing employment. food, and clothing for great army of men, wo- men, and children. In some part they are right, but not altogether.
 Waterbury is going to be more fortul- nate than a good many other communl- ties. We have our Mutual Aid which can exist just so long as there are employed men and women in this city generous and wiling to help their less fortunate fellow men. We don't doubt but what when the campaign for pledges starts in this city

Washington, March 9.-Ar- thur Mullen can be given credit for one thing. He doesn't sur- render without a struggle.
 In the case of his membership on the democratic national committee from Nebraska, it must be admitted that Arthur's struggle was terrific. He did not quit until the president of the United States himself had laid down the law.
 Some time ago Roosevelt in- dicated that members of the democratic national committee should not be in the position of using their influence as Wash ington lobbyists. Most of them immediately resigned. But not Arthur Mullen. As a youngster he had come out to Nebraska in a prairie schooner. He had battled against tremendous odds. He was not one to quit without a fight. So he held sout.
 Finally, however, a meeting of high members of the democratic party was called. They ruled against him, called for his resig- nation as member of the demo- cratic national committee.
 So Arthur MAllen, the man who managed the Roosevelt campaign from the floor of the Chicago convention, is out. But in getting out, he insisted upon laudatory letters from Roosevelt and Farley.

HISTORY

The Mansion house was another popular inn of old Waterbury. Ed- ward Chittenden of Prospect re- moved here to become proprietor in 1899. Previous to becoming the Mansion house it was known as Burton's tavern, the house having been sold to Joseph Burton in 1928 by Israel Coe who in turn had bought it in 1921. The house was owned previously by various par ties who did not run 1t as a tay- ern, and it stood on the site of the old E. T. Turner & Co, Just south of Centre Square near Harrison avenue. The central part of the building was said to have been standin gin 1907, and to have been built by members of Thomas Clark's family. A
 It was sold successively to Cap tain Upson, who perhaps had a tavern for a while, then to Aaron Benedict, while Mir Benedict sold part to Levi Beardsley and part to
 Silas Grilley, who kept a tavern in the east wing. The house had a ballroom. When MT Burton sub- sequently took it over to run it as an inn he was a most successful landlord. and he was fortunate in 8 steady trade because Waterbury was on the stage-coach line from New Haven to Albany. Others who

London Letter

London - (U.P.) - The digni- fled town residences of former mo- ble English families are succumb- ing to the march of progress.
 The quiet old squares of May fair and Belgravia will soon be gone, for the stately old homes of the nobility, for which these dis
 tricts were once famous, are slow ly but steadily passing and in their places are rising enormous
 blocks of residential apartments.
 Houses in Lowndes Square 100 years ago were of purely private residential character. Six of these
 houses, which stood on a self contained site have now complete ly disappeared, and rising from the site are now the scaffolding and girders of London's latest block of apartments.
 Due to be completed late this year, these apartments will be among the largest in England, many comprising nine bedrooms
 and three bathrooms. Three squash rackets courts and five au- tomobile garages are being con- structed for the use of residents.
 The drastic change is apparent ly meeting with full approval from some quarters. Estate agents re- port they are receiving many in quiries for the larger and more luxurious type of service apart ments from people who few years ago would have regarded them as anathema.
 Two other mansions in Lown- des Square have already been converted into apartments, while a few hundred yards away a gap ing void marks the site of Chelsea House, planned to be opened in about two years as an enrmous suit of chambers and maison- cites. Three houses in Chesham Place are being demolished for the same purpose, while the old Rus sian Embassy has already been converted and is rented right up. Similar works are being carried out in St James's Square. Berk- eley Square, Great Cumberland Place and Upper Berekeley street. Oae builder estimated that over f1,O00,000 ($5,000,00O at par), has been spent on such conversion schemes in the past six months.

AVE ATQUE VALE! (Fitzhugh l.. Minnigerode in The New York TimeS)

,Scant need was there to say that
 you were through: We'll was I made acquainted with
 the fact. Whether by choice or by subcon-
 scious act, You left no doubt that what seemed
 love to you When stripped of pretense quickly
 turned to rue: That what we once had deemed a
 living pact Was but an unfulfillable contract; A broken promise-futile to renew. Hail and farewell! On Life's un.
 charted sea I pray that you shall not be com
 passless; That the high God who guards your viii guide you to port of hap piness. Hail and farewell; I go where sun

It's hard taking municipal position in New York city these days.

Rice, who left the post of Health Officer in New Haven to assume like job in New York, has lately been credited with intentions to resign. It was news to him evidently from what he is quoted as saying in New York inter- views. We should think it would be with plans afoot for feting him in New Haven the 16th of this month.
