BANKED Ten times this season they
have gone through a game without
denting the plate. No other club has
been that bad.
After George Blaeholder garlanded
the Nationals with goose eggs in the
opener of yesterdays double-header
with the Browns, every club in the
circuit had put forth pitcher with a
shutout victory over the hapless hold
over champions to his credit this year.
And all the blanking Of the broken
down band has been done by right
handlers. Mel Harder, the slim In
dian, leads the list of Washington
vhitewashers. He has applied two
coats to the Cronin crew. Two White
Sox slabmen have turned the trick
Sam Jones and George Earnshaw. So
have two Red Sox chuckers-Jack
WEIGH and Yves Ferrell.
Charley Rufing took care OF the
sautout affair for the Yankees, Vic

The Community Chest Idea

While the Community Chest plan has worked to good advantage in many cities, in others it has never been demanded let alone needed. It is an open question right now whether or not Waterbury falls into this latter class. If we were asked some years back our opinion on the matter, we would have suggested that the city con sider seriously the advisability of estab. fishing a Community Chest. In fact, at one time the Waterbury Democrat did advocate the idea It was about the time that New Haven was establishing one. That was prior to 1929, we believe.
 Right now it might be a difficult thing to upset the various means by which we preserve the social order of our city. In an effort to coordinate them, we might do more harm than good. For example, if we were to establish Community Chest, 1t surely would mean the dissolution of the Mutual Aid, which has been invaluable to Waterbury through the long months or depression. It is still functionlng and ef- ficiently, too. It provides work for men and women; it offers supplies to those unable to obtain them; 1t even gives direct assistance in the form of money.
 It is becoming evident. though, that many of our organizations dependent upon the generosity of the public are un- able to secure sufficient finances to cover their annual budgets. This is due natur- ally to present conditions, which are better than they were, but not such as to guar antee the complete independence Of the various charitable and social groups of the city. Therefore, it does seem as 1T the Community Chest makes distinct ap- neal at the moment in that it would per haps assure all organizations of fair income with which io carry on its work or relieving distress and making better living conditions
 It is our opinion that the Community Chest might solve the problem, but IL would not obviatc the need of the Mutual Aid It would, therefore, to some degree fall short of its purpose. Hence, 1t would seem tO be the proper procedure to post. pone action on the Community Chest until we can disband our Mutual Aid and de' clare its work well done but at an end Waterbury seems Co be the type of city that would prefer the Community Chest t0 the innumerabe drives and collections that we have come Co regard as q part or our daily existence. No doubt opinions will vary on this, but the thing to keep in mind is not SO much the power to give, but the will to give.

Free Lunches

The Wisconsin State Board of Health insists that free lunch in bar rooms -- or should be limited to prctzcls and popcorn: The pretzels, AZ any veteran patron of such places will testify, are all right, even though they merely serve to make him more thirsty for more beer, which creates an appetite for more pretzcls, and so on indefinitely. As for the popcorn, the mere mention of such sacrilege will make the orthodox free lunch dcvotcc flee in horror Which is possibly what it is intended to do.
 What then, of rye bread, pumpernickcl, bologna, ivcrWurst, cheese, crackers ana other 0ld.time vctuaIs to stay the topcrH stomach? The mere mention of them reyives long.supprcssed sentiment, and even poetry.
 It is hardly possible that other wet states can follow Wisconsin, if it persists in enforcing this cruel and unusual rule If the pretzel and popcorn system spreads it can have only one effect. IL will drive patrons of public bars to private cock tail hour" Iayouts, where they may feast to their hearts content and their stomachS ruin. See almost any women's magazine for details.

We Hope For The Besl


 The passage of the reciprocal tariff bill this week did not occasion as much com- ment throughout the nation as might have been expected. In fact, we were bit disappointed by the fact that few repub- llcan organs expressed the opinion that the nation was going to the bow.wowe. You could almost think that this was a nation of democratic newspapers, If it wasn't for the fact that of recent years a good many democratic newspapers have become so independent-minde that they no longer fought for tariff for revenue only.
 As matter of fact the tariff has no business being surrounded by political qualifications. Yet there is no issue in public life that splits all parties into 6 hundred different little groups For that matter it's every congressman for himself when the tariff is discussed When thu republicans are in power the democrats hope and pray that they'll get what their constituents want in the way of protec- tive tariff, while they are publicly berat. ing the proposed jump in the rates.
 As soon as the democrats came into power and there was talk of tariff re- vision, there was much shaking of heads and mutterings of breaking down all trade barriers so that this country would be at the mercy of cheap foreign labor through the medium of cheap foreign.manufac. tured products. No one of US wants to stand by and see old American industrial plants go to the wall Democrats share this fear as well as republicans. All of which means that when 1t comes to opin- ions on the tariff the one mans opinion is about the same as another's.
 But President Roosevelt should be able to do something through reciprocal agree ments with nations. The United States stands as the greatest creditor in the world today. The debtor nations are many Why the extraordinary powers we are giving Co our chief executive shouldn't restore q favorable trade bal ance is more than we can understand In the ordinary course of events it is dis tinct improvement to entrust to one man the power of raising or lowering tariff barriers. It makes for less politics. lt removed the forty-eght states from contest for favorable rates Let's hope It works

Hula Birds

A picture of two hula birds, in car .oon of oddities, sets one to thinking These birds are curious freaks of nature. Or, if you prefer to look at it in that way, they are curious examples of natures scientific planning. They are always found in pairs male and female. They are matched in pairs, live in pairs and die in pairs. They are 80 completely adapted by nature to each other that they cannot get along separately. The male has short, strong beak and the female long, curved beak. The beak of each is adapted solely to placing food in the others mouth. Thus they feed each other instead of themselves; and when one dies, the other starves to death.
 Our industrial system is like that. h. dustry and trade are flock of hula birds that live by putting food into each others mouths. Each feeds many others and ls fed by many others. And if something goes wrong in the flock, all go hungry. We have had good deal of experience of this sort in the last five years. And yet we still have rugged individualists who will not accept the old truth that "no man liveth unto himself and no man dieth unto himself"

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 noticed m editorial in your paper one night this week calling attention to the increase in the number of tent cnterpiIlars this spring. It's too bad that more noe tice of them was not taken a month ago. Right now the caterpillars are full grown and are leaving the nests. Btiil we can do a lot of good work destroying as many of them ns possible.
 You mentioned burning the nests and also using arsennte Of lead. An even cheaper method ih to pour small quantity of kero- sene into the nests or 10 daub n little of it on the twigs and branches surrounding the nest. once a caterpillar touches the ker- osene It's life span ends.

In view of the fact that the federal gov. crnment has paid claims Co other states Connecticut is certainly justified in feel ing that she should be returned the $560.- 900, which she claims is due her for money loaned ,to the government during the War of 1872, The Connecticut claim was first considered by Congress in 1928. So far as can be learned nothing definite has been done on it since then. We pre-. sumc the claim is still kicking around in the desks of few committeeman. The house judiciary committee must approve payment, It is quite q problem in arith- metic Co read that the original loan or. payment made by this state for paying troops and providing them with suste. nance was only $8i ,000.
