No Over-C Crowding In
 Teaching Profession
Teachers College Survey Shows Opportunities Await
 Graduates mployment Figures Furnished

Waterbury high school students who would like to teach school but are reluctant to enter the profess sion because of alleged over-crowd- Ing will be interested to learn that reports of this condition have been exaggerated.
 Contrary to popular opinion that there is large surplus of elemen- tary and junior high school teach- CTS in Connecticut survey made by the Teachers College of Con- necticut shows that only a few of the graduates of recent years re- main without jobs.
 It-was stated that of 34 students who were graduated from the three year elementary curriculum in 1884, thirty-fiye have been placed in teaching positions, thirty-two have returned to the college for the fourth year course leading to a degree while but 17 are unplaced and many of these are. doing sub- stitute work.

Pharmacists War Against Illegal Disposition in Ma
 tiOn-wide Campaign

Retail druggists in every section of the United States are coOperat- ing closely with the department of justice and local police in their ef- forts to stamp out the illegal sale of narcotics, according to Howard Stephenson, editor of American Druggist Magazine. He cited re- cent instances, described in the December issue of the magazine, in which two Philadelphia gangs, op- erating independently of each other. were rounded up and the leaders held for trial as the direct result of assistance given by retail druggists to police Y.
 s"Ordinarily." Mir Stephenson said, "the public hears little of the work of the druggist as official repository for narcotics and other dangerous drugs. The record of the trade in preventing illegal dope traffic has frequently been highly commended by government offi- cials. Because of the necessarily secret nature of this work, drug. gists never seek publicity regard. ing it. and of course the officials usually frown on publicity also. I am convinced however, that no single factor in the ordinary pos Heinz of the drug traffic is moro essential or better handled than that of the retail dfnggists. They have always shown themselves willing t0 cooperate with public officials and are called on Go do 70, in some parts of the country, every day. The Philadelphia instances mentioned fin oue current iaaito spectacular than usual, but they are representative"

Of the A students who were graduated from the three-year ele- mentary curriculum in 1883, all have been placed in teaching posi- tions with the exception of one who continued her work at another in- stitution outside the state.
 Positions Open
 Of the nine students who re- ceived the B. B. degree from Teach- ers' college in 1894 all have been placed in positions.
 The lack of 8 surplus of teach CTS is shown by the fact that sev- eral positions are now available in upper grades throughout the state according to college officials. Most of the unplaced graduates cannot qualify for the positions available.
 A survey is now being made by the college authorities in an effort to determine the number of grad uates of the past six years who are without position. The results nf this survey will be available soon.

laws that even the people can't pass except directly, by amending the Constitution.
 "And the courts call the peoples attention to the fact that they have stepped over their own boun- dary lines. That's one reason why our democratic government mas lasted 15O years, longer than ale most any other. The Constitution and the courts act as a sort or brake--they can't stop progress, but they can slow 1t down going around the curves"
 ssEvcn some of our best lawyers and judges realize that the new industrlal world is new condi- ton, that we are creating a set of industrial laws within the T1a- tional laws. and setting up inc dustrial courts with no appeal to general courts.
 LAWYERS ARE WORRIED
 "Strict Constitutionalists. such as James M. Beck. are worried about this, and about the new alphabetical agencies getting too much control over peoples lives. Is MIRA, for instance, or AAA, or the federal trade commission, or the REC. supreme in its field z Are their decisions on removal of n Blue Eagle, or reducing a crop. or paying a loan finally binding, or has the citizen af- fected still an appeal to the regu- lar courts?"
 IT'S FLEXIBLE DOCUMENT
 "Remember that few of these questions have come up to the supreme court yet" reminded Benton. "When they do. I'm con- victed the court will be liberal enough to let necessary things stand. and yet preserve the Con- stitution.
 "Keep In mind what President Roosevelt said: "Our Constitution Is so simple and practical that 1t Is possible always to meet ex- traordinary needs by changes in emphasis and arrangement. with out loss of essential form"

Instruction governing the inc surance of mortgages on residen- tial property constructed by opera tive builders are being sent to all regional, state, and district dtrec- tors, 1t, was announced to-day by the Federal Housing Administra- tion. Builders who wish to obtain detailed information on the subject should inquire at the nearest local office of the administration.
 The administration recognizes the operative builder as the largest producer of residential properties and his contribution as an infiuen- tial element in the creation of hous- ing for rent, rental-purchase agree ment or outright sale. Consequent ly, every proper effort will be made to aid and encourage actiy- ity on the part of the builder who Is prepared to proceed along sound lines. In particular, the administra- tion seeks to encourage that type of operative builder who looks upon the production of homes us a manufacturing and merchandis- ing process of high social signifi- canoe and who, preferably, assumes responsibility for the product from the plotting of the land to the dis posal of the completed dwelling units. based upon policies which will assure the stable development of the community over g period of years.
 The operative builder, 1. Is made clear in the instruction. is eligible to apply for the benefit of mutual mortgage insurance upon the same general basis as the individual homo builder, and the fctors which the administration will consider in passing upon his application are in substance the same. In other words, he may qualify as an ap- proved mortgagor in much the same manner as would be required of an individul home owner. Be- cause of the larger scale of opera ton involved, however, greater emphasis is necessarily placed on certain features of the transaction. particularly with respect to the economic soundness of the entire project.
 As in the case of the individual builder. each dwelling of from one to four family units must be fi- naHceu Dy q separate mortgage. Each dwelling must be located on a separate plot of land, and must be capable of being separately owned. l
 5 To finance his operations under the provisions of the Federal Housing Administration program the operative builder should secure his financing from 8 lending in- stitution approved by the Ad- ministrator as a mortgage which will submit the applications to the various properties. With such a commitment in existence. he should be able without difficulty to obtain construction loans from commercial bank, since notes se- curing loans made under such con- ditios are eligible for rediscount at

appeal about 1t. Parliament has the final say.
 FREEDOM IS GUARANTEED
 "But in this country if congress passed such law, any man could go to court and get protection, because the Constitution says congress can't pass such law.
 "This guarantee of an appeal to the courts to see that the Con- stitution isn't violated is a guar antee of freedom to the little as well as the big man. You'll notice that the same radicals who squawk at the Constitution and courts as defenders of private property never hesitate to appeal to the same courts for protection under the same Constitution when they're prevented from holding Q meeting or making a speech"

 And 1t sets up certain rights for the individual citizen which neither officials, nor congress. the courts, nor the states, have the right to take away.
 That division between federal and state power is important. Remember that the states (the Constitution. They originally had all power.
 In adopting the Constitution they said, These powers we give to congress. All others not men toned we keep ourselves"
 Yet congress is specifically given power to provide for the common defense and general well fare of the United States" and the preamble states that to "pro- mote the general welfare" is one of the objects of the whole Con- stitution. That would seem to in- clude almost anything.
 ARGUMENTS CROP UP That is an example of how a constitution simple on the face of | 1t causes arguments in specific cases.
 In all fields. the Constitution Is in danger, say some. They con- tend that congress has unlawfuliy delivered up to officials some of its powers.
 They claim that guaranteed liberties and rights have been taken from the individual. Long, exercised powers are being taken from the courts, they insist.
 "Tm well aware that some o1 you people who aren't lawyers gel annoyed at the courts sometimes ? went on Benton. But the courts fare in peculiar position in this country.

Just when winter gets coldest And your hat won't cover your ears, You find last years galoshes missing While you're driven to sad bitter tears. You start out to shop for some woolens,, Gloves, socks and suit that's peach When you spy window all summery With light clothes for the tropical beach.

This pertained to the history of
the yacht Carmen. The Carmen had
been owned originally by prominent
copper magnate. The name in the
opening paragraph was somewhat blur
red. 1t looked like Montague. The
Carmen had been manned by Maori
officers and crew, and during world
cruise, Mr.. Anthony Chaplin drew
the clipping closer and made out the
name-Montgomery and continued
acidly. "Mr. Montgomery" the clip
ping stated, "died suddenly and was
buried in mid-Pacific. The cause of
his death is said to be unknown and
there is certain element of mystery
surrounding the meager details given
to the press" In final paragraph
it was mentioned that Mr.. Montgom-
cry had been divorced in 1882, and
that his former wife had subsequently
married Stephen Glass a wealthy Wall
Street broker. A son, Archibald Mont
gomery, had been with his father on
the world cruise.
Another clipping told of the late
Anthony Montgomery's will. The en-
tire residue Of the estate, amount
ing to three million dollars, had been
left to Archie Montgomery.
