the game of football. In fact, they compare the Roosevelt method to Samuel Buffers de- scription of a novice learning to play the violin, writing the mu- sic and manufacturing the in Strument at the same time.
 At any rate, Roosevelt and his advisers are getting round to the idea that the day of experiment tatfon is over, that they can. mo longer throw a few economic eIixirs into a test-tube and get results.
 There has been a lot of talk about regimentation and econ- omic planning, but actually there hasn't been much of it. There have been lot of heterogeneous moves, such as taking people from the city and putting them on the farm, and simultaneously decreasing farm production. But actually the economic planning has been play-by-play stuff.
 Now the inside figure that this play-by-play stuff is finished. Their political sixth sense tells them that the country is fed up with it.
 RIGHT SWING
 The net result is that the ad- ministration has a sort of mild idea that 1t would like to go a bit Right. But not too far.
 However, there is one deter rent factor and it is an im- portant one.
 i. There is a definite undercur- rent which demands that the ad- ministration keep Left. It is not so vocal as the cry for stability which comes from Business. But some of the politicos who keep their ear to the ground for the benefit of the president, think it is more powerful. Furthermore, that 1t is growing.
 The textile strike was one in- 'dication of this. It amazed ob- servers both inside and outside the government who thought they understood Labor. It even amazed the Labor leaders them selves. They had figured on walkout of 100000 and they got about 500,000.

COURT ROOM SCENE by Willard Bottome

Judge Hugger deposited his huge frame in the judicial chair. adjusted horn trimmed glasses. wiped precipitation from his bald head, and threw back his black robe at the neck, for it was Au- gust and the court room was stuffy. He turned his attention to the case of Sambo Lincoln Wash ington, charged with chicken steal ing.
 Judge Hugger: Well, Sambo, what have you to say in your de- fense?"
 Sambo: "Hones', you Honah, didn't steal no pullets-'dead I didn't"
 Judge HuggerJ Squire Gentry says they were in your coop this morning-a mile away from his place."
 Sambo: "Yo, Honah, dey was in my coop-just walked right in last night. Amt you never heard O chickens sleep walkin'?"
 Judge Hugger: Enough of this nonsense! Have you a lawyer to defend you?"
 Sambo: T sho' don't crave no lawyer-he might make me lie."
 Judge Hugger: 'T will suspend sentence if you will return the two bullets"
 Sambo: "I cain't do it, yo' Honah. Dey's in de stew right now"
 Judge Hugger; What. You killed them?"

Washington, Nov 1.-As cleo tions approach there are more and more indications that the administration is going out of its way to give the glad hand to business, that Roosevelt is keep ing his professorial experiment. CTS in the background, and that he is anxious to give the ap- pearance of good old fashioned economic solidarity.
 For instance, word has been passed down the line to the AAA administrators to lay off the batting of the meat-packers, the canners, the milk distribu- tors. At one time this was the chief sport of the AAA.
 But the other day one of the executives who stood forth un- relentingly against the big pro- cessers, remarked ruefully:
 ''All we are doing now is sell- ing indulgences to big business"
 This, of course, is an exaggera- tion. Nevertheless, it is signi- ficant. It is also significant that Henry Wallace, crusading secretary of agriculture, now sell dom goes near the White House. He was once a constant visitor. Significant also is the fact that. Chester Davis, administrator of the AAA, was appointed. to the policy board of the MIRA. Henry Wallace was left off.
 The point is that Chester Da- wis is more amenable to sug-- gestion, never did have the cru sading instincts of the agricultural chief. Wallace is a mystic and a puritan. It would pain him terribly to compromise any of his principles.
 And now it is less painful for him to keep out of the picture. PUNCH-PULLING
 -' All along the line-with the bankers, in the MIRA, in labor relations-this pulling of the for mer Roosevelt punch is discern ible.
 The chief question is whether this will be a continuing policy or merely one of political eX- pediency, to be revamped imme- diately after elections.
 Some of his closest advisers, believe 1t is the latter, that af- ter November Roosevelt will swing back to the old liberal, hard-hitting Left.
 However, there are some indi- cations that this may not be so. In fact there are definite indica- tions that the administration is seriously considering a steady though not too great-drift to the Right. rtj < ELEMENTARY
 Roosevelt once described his Recovery tactics as those of football quarterback - making one play. going into huddle with his players, making another play, testing out its success, then going into huddle again.
 But some of his critics point out that in the game of Re- cover.' the rules are not so fixed nor the factors so definite as in

A Book a Day
When The Old Maine Sea Trade Died Out
By BRUCE CATION

The snooty summer visitor to the Maine coast is fond of looking down his long nose at the about how quaint and outlandish these quaint natives have richer background, and spring from a more substantial culture, than most visitors ever heard of.
 You get glimpse of this in by Mary Ellen Chase.
 ter of an old-time Maine sea cap ther's ship as it lay at anchor in a the ship until she reached her teens. Then-along toward the end of the 18th century-the bot tom fell out of the Maine sea trade.
 Sail gave way to steam, and wood gave way to iron and steel. The Maine folk who had built and sailed their ships to every harbor on earth found the props knocked out from under their society. The
 
 houses, their sons became carpen- ters and guides for the summer visitors-and Mary Peters came ashore to became school ma am.
 This book is a fine, understand ing picture of the passing of one of Americas most admirable cul- lures. But it is more than that; it is, also, the the story of an ad- venture in living.
 Mary Peters somehow contrives to preserve her Yankee integrity that integrity by which a per sons life was not at the mercy of mischance, but had the ability to remain free and confident because of its inner resources. That sort of thing being fairly rare these days. you might enjoy having. a look at it.
 Published by Macmillan, the book is priced at $2.50.

Yet many a rock. impregnable at frst Has felt the creeping channels of grass thirst Cleaving the layers-splitting, sinking deeper- And had no power to arrest the creeper; Until at last the fortress of its strength Parted in hard surrender down its length.

The fact that only six of Connecticut's 169 towns are dry calls for an expression of appreciation from the state branch of the W.C.T.U. The towns in the list are Eastford, Woodbridge, Mansfield, Wilton, Woodstock, and Granby. They are the only ones which by exercising local option outlawed liquor, wines, and beer from their midst. No one criticizes them for doing that. Our state law should be so constructed that any community desiring to retain complete aridity should be able to do so. However, we do not agree with the statement of the W.C.T.U. that repeal has been complete failure in Connecticut. We don't think so There may be an ln- crease in drinking. It is natural In time temperance will reassert itself.

eec WORKERS REVOLT

News dispatches few days ago told
of rebellion in a Civilian Conservation
Corps camp IN Maine when two hundred
and fifty workers objected to their trans
fer to camps in Virginia and Maryland
The young men who have been given
employment and training by the Govern
ment, when they could not obtain jobs any
where else. showed their appreciation by
attacking their officers, locking them in
the baggage ear and blocking all efforts to
move their train for more than three hours
A squad Of one hundred and fifty police
men came TO the camp to restore order and
their arrival Sobered the rebelious work
men, who subsequently left under the con-
troll Of their own officers.
Such an incident IS significant These
young men evidently do not feel that the
Government did them any favor in giving
them jobs, feeding and training them,
therefore they had a right TO decide for
themselves exactly where they should
work What the Government should do in
a case ike this Is to expel from the work
those responsible for such conduct and bar
them from further participation in any as
sistance from the Federal Government.

Ground aviation
ByA. B. Clemens.

EOR every aviation pilot in the
4 air there are four 20 six men on
the ground who are necessary TO
keep the pilot aloft- These are the
men who build the engines and
planes, who check them and keep
them u condition.
Through good years and bad, air
mileage has steadily increased
What the limits OF this progress
viii be no one can now 40resee,
but as progress continues there y
certain to be a constant increase IN
the need for skilled men on the
flying fields and in the factories
where the planes and engines are
constructed. Few lines Of work seem
to offer better opportunities 70 the
young man starting on his career.
To be an aviation technician re-
quiEes both experience and techni-
cal knowledge. License require
ments and other government regu-
latioAs have made it impossible for
any but highly skilled men TO sue
eeed. These requirements, however,
have broedened the opportunities
for the young man willing to work,
20 study and 70 leaEn.
The most direct start toward sue
cess in this field would be getting
2 job as helper or apprentice in
plant where planes or engines are
built, or IA shop at a flying field.
Il this IS improbable, the young
man can get start toward the uiti-
mate goal by obtaining a similar
Job in a shop where almost any type
Of high-speed internal combustion
engine IS built, assembled, or re-
paired.
The job itself, whether in AVA
ton or field allied TO il, win sup
ply valuable experience, while the
necessary technical knowledge can
be obtained through reading and
study during spare time.

The people Of Key West are urged not
to overlook the annual Roll Cali of the
American Red Gross. which is now going
on throughout the United States.
Lest some people get the idea that the
government, with its huge program of re-
lief. IS .meeting the needs of all types of re-
lief. we point out that the Red Cross. IN
the year ending June 80, 1884, gave relief
in 1os disasters to more than $4,000 in
dividuals.
The national Red Cross has built up a
thoroughly trained disaster relief organ
ization. which functions as nothing else can
when tragedy stalks through communities
visited BY sudden devastation Let US re-
member that fires, floods, earthquakes and
tornadees have not lost their terror.
Help the Red Cross to be prepared to
aid the stricken and helpless by maintain
ing your membership in this great organ
ization Of mercy and relief.
One of the first contributions which
the local Red Cross Chapter has received
was from winter visitor and for the
amount of $50.
should be remembered that the Ma
tional Red Cross retains but so cents of
each contribution, no matter how large.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

To one of human instincts it is dis
tfessing to witness the utter disregard Of
animal suffering which is shown by
thoughtIess or vicious persons.
Acts of unnecessary cruelty TO dumb
animals are an indication Of either lack
Of education or serious moral defect on the
part Of those who practice them. Chill
dren should be taught very early to treat
animals with kindness. Without such
teaching a child is very likely to develop
cruel tendencies. particularly when the
example Of unfeeling indifference Is set by
older persons.
As a prominent educator recently
said, any system of education which neg
Iects training in the humane treatment Of
animals is failing in It's duty
We have noticed another thing: Any
person who IS cruel to animals will bear
watching il al his ether relations in life.

HoW'S THE DEPRESSION?

Correct answers to questions regard
ing conditions Of the country are being
twisted because this Is the political season
Of the year when the voters have been
visiting the polls. Nevertheless, facts are
facts, and the best official AMI semi-offi-
cial information proves that there IS a gen
eral Improvement in business and indus
try with corresponding increase in en-
ployment This conclusion is clouded by
the fact that there have been lavish expen-
ditures IN spreading relief under the New
Deal The PWA spends in all directions,
and public construction is carried on in
many instances for the sole purpose Of
stimulating industry and making work.
The killing Of millions of heads of
livestock, and the drastic control Of agri-
cultural communities is an experiment
such as the United States isn't used to, and
everybody wonders if it is doing much
good.
