mobile tourists could drive up and see the landscape; and fin- ally the town of 4,000 population which wanted to build a 1000 bed maternity hospital-suppos- edly a self-liquidating project.
 One decision Ickes had to make immediately was in regard to private and public works. The law permitted him to make both. He decided, however, in favor of the latter, for three reasons:
 FIRST, many private works were of a speculative nature, such as those listed above.
 SECOND, channels loans to private works already existed through the REC and the HOLC.
 FINALLY, it was much harder at that time for many states and municipalities to raise mon- ey for their projects. SEAfI-PUBLIC
 Therefore the chief loans ex- tended to private industry were for semi-public institutions such Midtown Vehicular tunnel, oiyoOSh ct dlHPdy ldsp d lIdl ket at Jacksonville, Fla, a pris- on at Atlanta, and so on.
 Loans to states and municipal fties, however, have required more time, and also aroused more political conflict. Hundreds Of states and municipalities have gone through all the mo- tiOns of getting PWA loans, con. suming days of time on the part of PWA officials, only to drop the project in the end.
 To cut down delay on this. Ickes now requires a decision in two weeks. Otherwise the allot- ment is withdrawn.
 BOND SALESMAN
 Having spent or allotted all but a few paltry millions of his $3,300,000,000, Ickes is now in the position of the banker who can sell his PWA bonds to the public, use the money to finance more public works. This he is permitted to do under the law. selling the bonds through the REC.
 The first sale was made just the other day.
 Jesse Jones, REC chairman, is not required by law to sell the bonds unless he wants to. And he looked them over rather quizzically.
 But finally he put. them on the market, sold the whole batch above par made a net profit of $91,000. This was supposed to be turned over to I Ick e together ith the principal to be reloaned as PWA funds.
 But Jesse had another idea. Calling up Ickes, he said:
 Harold, we made cash ! premium of $91,000 on our sale. We'll just keep that as our profit for handling the operation for you" FE6
 .'No, you won't" replied Har- old.

had, with that song, closed her formal singing career.
 To be sure, this beloved veteran of con cert and grand opera stages is going to make an exception or two. She will sing for "her beloved boys" at the state con- vention of the American Legion of Wis consin next month; and it's a safe bet that whenever any other Legion group asks her to sing, she will do it.
 But, as she says, her formal singing ca- reer is overland the news is pretty hard to take Madame Schumann-Heink was not only blessed with great voice; she is, all in all, one of the finest characters ever to appear in public life in America. Her retirement to private leaves a void that will be long time getting filled.

Aristocracy Leveled!

There's something slightly instructive in that recent story about the blue-blooded Illinois lady who got pinched in Pennsyl- vania for traffic violation and who, be- cause she didn't happen to have the cash with her to pay her fine, had to spend two days in jail.
 The lady didn't like it at all, and she protested that "such things are not for people of my sort" Her son added, in the same vein, 'it's disgrace to Pennsylvania to jail a woman of my mothers standing"
 Such reactions are natural enough, of course. Lots of jails are pretty disgrace full places; lots of traffic officers lack sympathy and understanding. But we are still, in theory, democracy, and all peo- pie are supposed to be equal before the law.
 If Nick Nicolino can be jugged for crashing red light, so can Mrs Peyster de Peyster. Protests about people of our sort" are out of place, in America.

Give The Governor Support

It has been noticeable that the social legislation passed by the Connecticut Leg islature of recent years has been negligi ble. And this in the face of the fact that Governor Wilbur L. Cross on both occas- sions that he was campaigning for his present office pledged himself to work for such things as unemployment insurance, old age pensions, and the like. It might seem odd that he would be returned to office with a record of no laws along these lines.
 It may be summed up in few brief sentences. When Governor Cross was elected to office those who were electing him had little thought for the men who would work with him. In short, while Governor Cross might have the best of intentions for the state they would weigh very little unless they were supported by .both houses of the Legislature. Only in the 1888 session could the governor rely on any legislative support. And this was highly questionable.
 The republicans have really controlled .the Legislature throughout his three and -one-half years in office. This may truth fully be blamed for the fact that many ot his prediction promises did not come .true. The same thing holds good again today. Speaking at the 49th annual con- .vention of the Connecticut Federation Of Labor in New Britain early this week Governor Cross again averred his lnten- tion of working for old age pensions, u1l- employment insurance, and the 4O-hour week.
 He may work as hard as he can, pro- vided he is elected in November, but un- less he has democratic law-making as- sembly behind him he is not any more sure of success than he was four years ago when he first went into office. That's one thing our voters, particularly those of an independent frame of mind, ought to realize. The governor of Connecticut is tied hand and foot without the support of his own party in the Legislature. We should give Governor Cross ample assur- rance of our cooperation in his desire forJ more social legislation by electing demo- cratic representatives and senators.

A Recital Of Facts

If it was facts that the delegates ana visitors at the democratic state conven- tion were seeking they were given them aplenty in the addresses of Postmaster General James A. Farley and U. 5. Sena- tor Augustine Lonergan last night as the session opened at the Hotel Grlswold. Eastern Point, Groton. In his keynote speech our senator was prodigal In fis use of the figures that can be so easily ascer- tained with respect to the progress of the New Deal in the United States.
 While Postmaster General Farley did not go in for so much statistical detail he did pay a glowing tribute to the accom- plishments of the Roosevelt admlnlstra- tion. Incidentally he was extremely modest in his remarks about his own de- partment which today can proudly boast of the fact that it has finally balanced it's budget and is reducing the deficit that was run up in preceding years. He might have dwelt at length, but MT Farley with all his virtues does not overlook modesty. .,
 We can well imagine the darts that will be hurled at some of the statements that issue from the convention halls of Groton by g.o.p. enemies. But certainly none can reach the high pinnacle on which stand the stalwarts who last night paraded be-  fore democrats the proud achievements S of brilliant democratic administration. It must have been rather fine to listen to both these honorable gentlemen speak and to have them recount in glowing terms the many things that have been done in a war in which we meet not mortal foes, but invisible ones, those that grip at the stomach, the mind, and the heart.
 The call that was issued last night must be heard in every town in Connec- ticut. It cannot go ignored. It is not the democratic party that asks your aid, but the nation at large. Only by such tactics as President Roosevelt has adopted may We hope to win our way out of the sloughs ot despond. Mistakes, certainly they have been made. Nothing is accomplished without mistakes. And those who declare experience is better teacher than exper- imentation overlook the fact that both sometime travel hand in hand.

 TWO MONEY-BAGS
 Whereupon the. Texas horse trader who runs the REC and the PeEnsylvania-born Scotsman who runs the PWA had an ex- tended though good-natured arr gument. Jones has at his dis posal about six billion dollars, Ickes nearly four billion, but over $91,000. Finally Jones pro- posed:
 "Well, how about paying us an allotment out of this to cover our expenses?"
 .'Nothing doing" replied Ickes.
 Well, the customary broker age charge is one-sixteenth," persisted Jesse. "WeY just de- duct that.''
 "No, you won't" shot back Ickes.
 Finally the REC chairman yielded. But day or two later as he was about to mail the check, he called up his friend the secretary of the interior.
 By the way, Harold," he said. I'm deducting two cents from this check to pay for the postage"
 "HOw about using a franked envclOpe" shot back Harold. who finally got his $91,O0O with. out the deduction of a penny.
 And when Harold Ickes gives final accounting to the na- ticn, probably it will show that in financing the biggest sewage system in the world-at Chi cago; the biggest dam in the world at Grand Coulee; the biggest artificial lake in the world-at Ft. Peek; the biggest flood control project-aiong the Mississippi; the biggest bridge in the world = the Tri-Boro; and the biggest naval building pro- gram ever undertaken he will have lost scarcely a penny.

Washington, Sept. =. It was either pure accident or some in- tuitive instinct of the president which made Harold Ickes direc- tor of the public works admins tration.
 General Johnson had consid- cred the job his. had picked the men to assist him in it, stormed and clustered when it was taken out from under him and never has ceased blaming this transfer and Ickes-for some of the failures of the MIRA.
 Despite all this, however, stroke of the Roosevelt pen left Johnson with an empty hand and Ickes with an unexpected and not particularly wanted step.
 year since this happened. The PWA, is now employing about 2,100,000 men. It is dishing out some $40.000,000 a week, not in mere allotments but in actual cash expenditures for labor, material, transportation. It is operating at it's peak.
 The story of how this peak was reached is fascinating.
 Ickes began with no organiza- tion at all. He had a couple of assista IS, $3,300,000000 to spend and several thousand peo- pie clamoring outside his door.
 The people wanted two things. About half wanted public works money, the other half wanted public works political jobs.
 The situation regarding the latter was complicated by the fact that Emil Hurja, Jim Far ley's Man Friday, was planted with a desk in PWA as patron- age czar, and his ideas on poli- ties did not always coincide with Ickes' ideas on efficiency.

If you saw the play, Rain" /" you will find much, to interest you in Somerset Maugham's preface to
 his new book of short stories. :"
 East and Vest"
 In this preface, MT Vaughan tells how he met the principals to that stirring tale in the flesh. It was some 15 years ago; he was going from Honolulu to Pago Page by steamer; aboard were a missionary and his wife, and a young woman who had just been expelled from the Honolulu seg- regated district.
 He made notes on them at the time. Of the girl (later present. ] ed to the world as Sadie Thomp- son) he wiote: Plump. pretty in a coarse fashion, perhaps not more than 27. She wore a white dress and a large white hat. long white boots from which the
 calves bulged in cotton stock ings." Of the missionary, he wrote that he had "a caraverous air and
 a look of suppressed fire": the misionary's wife was little I WOINdu. QTSSScu HI Dldch, WuO
 tsIked ceaselessly in ao metallic voice and spoke of the depravity
 If the natives in voice nothing
 could hush." l A few days of these people. and
 MT. Vaughan was ready to write "Rain."
 His preface is altogether ar. interesting document. He dis cuses the technique of short story writing, tells how he jots down notes on people who later turn up in his stories, and makes | interesting comments on the works of such folk as Maupasant and Chekov.
 For the rest = the book con- tains 30 of his stories, and runs
 to some 5000 pages of very inter-
 esting reading.
