HGHLIGHTS
Happenings That Affect The Dinner
Pals, Dividend Checks and Tax Bills
OF Every Individual. National And
international Problems Inseparable
From Local Welfare

A few weeks ago eight black rob-
bed figures walked slowly into an
ancient chamber in Washington, D.
C. They sank down in ag-polfshed
leather chairs, while a CHER raped
his gavel and announced: "Oyez, oyer,
dyezl All persons having business
before the Honorable, the Supreme
Court Of the United States, are ad-
monished to draw near and give their
attention. God save he United
States and this Honorable Court"
These eight men - the ninth was
absent for opening day, due to i'll
ness-represent the highest power in
the land Theirs is the court of last
resort-theirs is the power t. settle,
finally and for all time, arguments
concerning the conFtitutionality of
laws and judgments. Their combin-
ed age comes close to 600 years-yet
according to observers, all of them,
including SO year old Mr.. Justice
Brandeis, patriarch Of the Court
since the retirement of the venerated
Mr.. Justice Holmes, appeared to be
in excellent health. observers also
said that, normally, two or three of
retire-but none, apparently, will do
that; for the present session of the
Court promises to be one Of the most
and perhaps the most-important
in living memory. On It's docket are
| some 400 cases, of which about 300
will probably be eliminated on juris-
dictional grounds. Among the hun
dred remaining are three cases which
will destroy or revitalize some of the
most extraordinary legislative-judi-
cial acts in American history. Two
Of these cases involve the power of
the Recovery Act to restrict produc-
ton The third will test the consi-
tutionality Of the law abrogating pay
ment of contracts in gold. In add
ton, it is possible that other cases,
now in lower courts, which involve
New Deal legislation, will come before
the Justices before the session closes.
1t seems that every Washington
correspondent is specializing on what
the attitude of he Court will be. No
one knows-but there are grounds
for making guesses. The Supreme
Court does not deal with ordinary evil
dence, as do courts Of inferior juris-
diction-it deals only with whether
or not a law or ruling is constitution
al. Four members of the court have,
in the past, shown themselves to be
instinctively Conservative: Justices
Sutherland, Butler, Roberts, Mickey
holds, Van Daventer. -Four lean to
the Liberal side: Justices Brandies,
Stone, Roberts, Cardozo. The mora
or less unknown quantity IS Nj.
Chief Justice Hughes, who has some
time been with one group, sometimes
with the other. Many believe, how
ever that he is more liberal than Con-
servative-and il that is true, New
Deal laws are likely to stand the acid
test During recent years more and
more Supreme Court decisions have
presented five justices on one side,

tionize the general trend of decisions.
Whatever the results, decisions of
the Court will be final-and they will
not be questioned. Senators, Cong
ressmen and Governors are damned
and reviled; even Presidents are sub
ject to strong criticism. But the Su-
preme Court-whose members, in the
words of Mr.. Justice Holmes, "Take
the veil" is above such mundane mat
ters. No other institution possesses
the almost unqualified admiration, re-
spect and faith Of the American PEG
pie.
Shortly after opening, the Court
made a decision which while it will not
affirm or deny constitutionality of
any major Administration measure,
is Of wide interest 1t threw out the
case of an airline which held that
the government had Illegally abrogat-
ed air mail contracts, and refused to
review the decisions Of lower tribun-
ais.

So far as business is concerned the
year 1884 has been disappointing
the great hopes that were held for
recovery haven't materialized. How
ever, by comparison with last year
our commercial affairs are in much
better order.
DUNG the first six months Of 1888
according to q survey made by the
National City Bank, representative
business earned an average Of but II
per cent on their Investment. Dur
ing the same period this year, return
was 81 per cent In the year 1927,
which is considered normally pros
porous, industry's profits were at the
rate of 81 per cent.
All businesses, of course, are not up
to the average-he ST figure is large
ly made half year, for example, au-
tomobile manufacturers earned 1872
per cent. Auto parts and accessories
makers received 1873 per cent; house
hold equipment, 10.1 per cent; chemi-
cles 10 per cent By way Of contrast,
iron and steel makers earned only
"a per cent; coal producers 2.3 per
cent, and building material makers,
O.8 per cent. Even in these cases
however, the businesses are doing bet
ter than last year, when they took
losses.

man we knew for the office you were
seeking. That community and others
voted for Roosevelt and Garner.
Il am asking a favor of you, hoping
you will go to the front for me as /
did for you in helping you to attain
the position you now hold, placing
you i n a condition to help those who
cannot help themselves, knowing that
all questions that came before the
cabinet would be acted on by your
suggestions. In the last few years,
daRnable crimes have been commit
ted everywhere. l do not think citi-
zens should take the law in their own
hands, but rather let the law handle
each individual as it sees fit.
A few days ago it seemed that the
Costigan and Wagner Bill had been
checked. The Tennessee Senator, Nc
Keller, objected ANONYMOUSLY. Sena-
tor Robinson turned a deaf ear each
time it was brought up. If there ever
was a question / have asked you to
put over for me it is this one in re-
CARDS to the AnttLynch Bill. It would
help me prove to the public that this
cabinet wants justice for all. It wsuld
be of the biggest stars ever plac-
ed in your crown and would be more
than appreciated by men and women
who are humanitarians. 1t would be
history that will last forever.
l believe you will take this into
your heartiest consideration and work
l behalf Of the American citizens
that have been taken advantage of
IN MY respects. Thanking you for
whatever consideration you can give.

per pupil in the elementary schools were also high in comparison with those of other cities, being $85.92.
 The annual statement disclosed g decrease of more than $5,0O0, 900 in the sums spent by towns of the state for education as compared with the school year 1891, '32.
 The report also showed that during the school year 1933-34 there was a decrease in the aver age daily attendance for the first time, as result of a marked de- crease in the number of children entering the elementary schools because of the decreased birth rate.
 This trend was definitely observ- ed in Waterbury-mor than a year ago by Dr Thomas J. Condon, su- perintendent of schools, and was further made apparent in the enumeration report submitted at the board of education meeting yesterday. Local figures showed a drop of 412 from last year and 1893 figures also showed a loss of 365 from the year before.
 In spite of the decrease in ex- penditures, only six states in the entire country lead Connecticut in costs per pupil Nr the public schools. The average expenditure per pupil for this state Is $110.50 yearyl. 4 x N
 Waterbury was exceeded only by Hartford in per pupil expenditures in the large city group, with an outlay of $149.58. The town of Morris had the highest per pupil cost, with $239.80, while Hartland led in the elementary school group with $163.81.

EUROPEAN WINE
 STYLES HIT U. 5.
COntraptiOn Resembl in g Giant Cuspidor Makes
 Initial Appearance

New York (UP)-The influence of things European and Continen- tai again has made its appearance in America with the creation of a "wine crypt" here. It follows, in all its details, the famous ''crypts' of France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and England, according to Fort mum and Mason, it's owners. Not only is it the first such crypt in America, but 1t is likewise com plete down to the last minute de- tail of wine basin," contraption looking like nothing so much an a gigantic cuspidor, and into which the expert taster in Europe would cast the contents of his glass after taking tiny sip.
 In all other respects it is also a true crypt, located we'll below the street level, and having dark wine- racked cellars shooting off in all directions. But the central crypt is nutty-brown in color, like the ports and sherries lining its walls, and the furniture Is 200-year-old Scandinavian hand-hewn massive oak, topped off in the center by a single-slab oak table four inches HI tnAckneSS ana elgnC rect long. Aroun dthe walls many tiers of lampshade-thin glasses of special design stand one below each bot tie, while sits in the dark oak paneling admit thin slivers of light for Judging the colors of the wines.
 All these things are in the true European manner, and smack of the boulevardier connoisseur.
 What Is America drinking?
 Everything, according to these "winecraft" experts. But wine cell lars are being built around five great types. They are, in the order of their preference: sherry, white Bordeaux, red Bordeaux, Burgun- dy, and, last of all, port. These were likewise favorite types in long before prohibition.

Sterling, III, Dec IS. (UP)- Physicians hoped that the nine-day yawning marathon of Mrs Harold Mckee might be near an end to- day.

Dr Theodore Stone, North western university specialist in nervous diseases, studied the case to-day with Dr H. l.. Pettitt and hospital physicians.
 "The condition has been slightly relieved" Dr Pettitt said, "but we still do not know its cause nor have we found any cure."

STEEL MISSILE
 CAME FROM AIR

New York, Dec. 18-(UP)-The mystery of a steel missile that plummeted from an airplane at high altitude and endangered the lives of children playing in Central Park was unexplained today. The object, weighing between 10 and Is pounds, imbedded itself six inches in the ground within few feet of several boys and girls. Pos lice were unable to identify 1t and Army and Navy fliers likewise were puzzled. The only theory ad- vanced was that the weight might have been used on the end of an airplane aerial. The plane from which it fell was too high to be identified.
