HAPPY LIFE AGAIN

1t was inevitable too that time
had to eiapse before results were
fully felt. When the many cells
of our economic life were dying for
lack of the blood of purchasing pow
er, it took time, after fear had be-
gun to subside, for new, vital pur-
chasing power to be diffused once
more. But that life is coming back
-buoyant, happy life-we need no
evidence beyond what we see and
hear around us.
Justice and fashioned common
sense demanded that in the building
of purchasing power we had to start
with agriculture. I knew enough
Of the problems of the men and
women who were partners with the
soil to realize the depth of their
suffering and the extent of their
need back there in 1882 and early
1888. I knew the pangs of fear
and moments of rejoicing that come
to the farmer as the harvest froWnS
or smiles. And I realize the al
most equally crushing sense of flu
tility that comes to a farmer when,
after months of toiling from morn
ing to night, he reaps bumper
crop, only to see the price fall so
low that it scarcely pays him to
take his crop to market.
One of the greatest curses of
American life has been speculation.
I do not refer to the obvious specu-
lation in stocks and bonds and land
boomS. You and I know that it is
not inherently a good thing for in
dividuals in any nation to be able
to make great fortunes by playing
the market without the necessity of
using much in the way either of toll
or of brains; their tools are little
capital and a good deal of luck.
The kind of speculation I am
talking about is the involuntary
speculation of the farmer when he
puts his crops into the ground. How
can it be healthy for country to
have the price of crops vary 800 and
500 and 700 per cent, all in less than
a generation? If you invest your
savings or your capital in what you
consider wholly safe investment,
which will conserve your principal
so that you will still have that prin-
cipal intact after 10 years or 20
years or 80 years, you are naturally
: aghast if the value Of that invest
ment drops so per cent. Equally,
when you make the investment you
do not expect the principal suddenly
to increase so per cent in value.

TEXT OF PRESIDENTS SPEECH

farm and city families are getting
bigger share Of the national in
come.
I think it is safe to say that al
though prices for farm products
show many increases over depres-
sion lows, the farm program instead
of burdening consumers as a group
has actually given them new bene-
fits.
There are individuals whose in
comes have not risen In proportion
to the rise in certain food prices;
but at the same time the total net
income of city jewellers is several
billion dollars higher than in 1882,
and think you will agree with me
that bargain prices for food in 1882
were little consolation to people in
cities with no income whatsoever.

tually into serfs, forced them to let
their buildings, fences and machin-
cry deteriorate, made them rob their
soil Of its God-given fertility, de-
prived their sons and daughters Of
decent opportunity on the farm.
To those days, I trust, the organized
power OF the nation has put an end
forever.

 Announcement has been made that the league will sponsor card party in the school tomorrow night and this affair Is expected to attract card enthusiasts and skilled players from every section of the city as well as those teams in the outlying districts that have gained such an enviable reputation dur ing the past year.

FORMER JUSTICE HOLMES HAS BUT
 LITTLE CHANGE
No Hope Is Held Out That He Will Recover From
 Illness


 Washington, March 4.--(UP).- There vas little hope today for recovery of oliver Wendell Holmes. The former supreme court Justice lost ground steadily in his fight against pneumonia. HiB condition was reported livery diHcoifaging." Friends who called at the little red brick house on street believed 1t was "just a matter of waiting" The aged jurist, whose 94th birth day occurs March $, has shown Ian ama7ing vitality" physicians said. He ia now almost constantly under an oxygen lent. He clung to life with d tenacity which char acterized his steadfastness to libv eral views which made judicial his- tory during his almost half a cen. tury on the bench, nearly 90 years of which were spent in the su- preIne court.
 Holmes contracted a severe cold during an automobile ride last week. His daily ride was virtually his only activity outside his read ing. His condition developed into ,pneumOiiia. A steady stream of dis. tinguished visitors continued. But few were allowed to see him. Sat- hrday night Dr Thomas A. Flayto3 and Dr Lewis c. Ecker, his physi- clans. Issued the only bulletin since his iilness became known.
 We find the justice a little weaker than he waa yesterday and In view of his very advanced age. this 10 a disturbing condition, Mark Howe. a former secretary who has remained at the home since Thurs- day, saidi "Mr Holmes Is conscious and he Ia not suffering. do not be. lieve he is receiving stimulants, His failure to show any improve ment is very discouraging."

 tween MT Lewis and officials of the Chase Companies where Brown was employed. It was officials of this company who received the letters. Mir Lewis declined to comment on whether Brown would be pro- secuted under the Statutes dealing with blackmail.
 :. It Is possible that Brown might be referred to the probate court for disposition of his case, provid- ing the report of phychiatrists war rants it. Mir Lewis said he will ask tho court for permission to have a prominent alientst examine Brown and then take action in accordance with the doctors report.
 Alienists who examined Brown for the federal court authorities at Hartford are understood to have reported Brown mentally incom- petent. The accused was brought into the Jurisdiction of federal au- thorities when he was arrested last November and booked on charges of violating the Postal laws, a fed eral offense.
 It was because of the report of the alienists to the federal author ities that Assistant U. s. District At- torney Cohen at Hartford requested Mir Lewis to take Jurisdiction of the case at Waterbury. It was explain ed that should the U. s. District attorneys office at Hartford recom- mend Browns confinement to a mental institution. he would have to be sent to the south, the closest federal mental institution.
 There is raft of evidence in possession of the states attorney here that can be used against Brown. Part of 1t came from Hart ford and part of 1t from Boston. An automatic pistol and 8 dagger are included as part of the evil dence.

 now across the Mad river has been responsible for most of the motor vehicle mishaps. The absence of q sidewalk has resulted in many per- sons, mostly children, being hit. Daily many schoolchildren walking along the highway to and from their studies are endangered by au- tomobiles.
 The contract for the now bridge across the Mad river was let sometime ago by State Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald. The present bridge barely permits the passage of two cars at one time. It is planned to have the new brdige be '45 feet in width. It will
 be of steel girder and concrete con struction, similar to the new bridge recently erected by the city on Sil- yer street. The Mariani Construc- ton company of New Haven will
 binld the new bridge on Meriden road. The city has been relieved of the expense, the state highway de apartment having agreed to shoul- der the responsibility.
 Work on New Bridge Work on the new bridge is cx-
 pected to start in month or so us soon as the actually heavy frost becomes thing of the past. At the sa me time the state will construct 2.?O0 feet of highway at Rockville
 SO as to eliminate the present dan
 gerous underpass at that point. The New Haven Road Constructi0n
 company of New Haven has been given this contract.
 In order to construct the new
 Mad river bridge it was necessary to get additional land on the east crly side of the highway. This diff
 hculty was quickly ironed out however, and now everything Is 1T readiness for the job.
 Before the sidewalk can be laid 1t will be necessary to hold a pub. lie hearine before the board o1
 works. Even if some of the prop
 crty owners object to the walk the work will be done as the works
 board will have the authority tt declare that public health and safe ty demands the construction of the
 passageway for pedestrians.

CONFERENCES ON
 THE RELIEF BILL

sl (Continued from Page l.) kicked over the administration 's $4.S30,00Q,000 work relief bill by appepding theh prevailing wage amendment II days ago.
 The bill Is back in the senate ap. propriations committee, which has not announced plans to resume it's consid eration.
 Action by the committee may be taken as a signal the "break" in the situation has come. The ad- ni.nistration would not give the ge-ahead sign until it had defin- ito plan of campaign and con- fidence that it woulud be success ful.
 q Whether this strategy would he to force the prevailing wage issue to another vote after persuadiuE tsvO or more senators to re- verse their votes, or whether it would lead to a compromise, was uncertain.
 Reports that the administration had won two votes since 1t was de- feated A to 43, on the prevailing wage issue were countered by cTSims of prevailing wage advo- cates that they had won over two senators who voted against them on the original test.
 The A senators who voted for the prevailing wage amendment have been boiled unofficially sev- eral times in the past week but none would say he had changed his position.
 Administration leaders say the prevailing wage controversy Is the only formidable one in the work. relief situation.
 Should that be settled 1t ap- peared probable that the relief bill would be enacted about as the administration desired.
 $ The administration wants the authority to set wages for the work relief projects. These would range from the $50 monthly "se- cuprity" pay to prevailing rates on projects which woulud como into direct competition with private enterprise.
 Organized labor wants a guar antee that prevailing wages be paid so that there would be no danger causing general lowering of the wage structure.

tuai collapse, and that hence there was unusual danger attending the administration of anesthetics.
 Scene of the operation was a yellow-brick hospital on a high hill overlooking Mount Hope bag on one side and the Taunton river on another. Wings have greatl, enlarged the building since Dr Truesdale. 30 years ago, founded the hospital as a private institu- ton. In the intervening years he has become nationally known as a diaphragmatic hernia surgeon.
 Dr Truesdale himself. 60 years old, spare and erect. with sparse gray hair, Is mild and cordial man who enjoys yachting, surf casting and duck hunting. He is reputedly crack shot and an acc compllshed violihist.
 While .Alyce was on the operat- ing table, her mother and aunt waited nervously in another hospi- tai room for news of the operation for which the little girl was brought halfway across the con- tinent. The trip was financed by an anonymous Omaha doner, aud the operation is being performed gratis.
 Two police inspectors were on duty at the hospital entrance, hav- ing been assigned there in the be- lief that widespread publicity con- ccrning Alyce's case might attract large crowds.
 For more than two hours. the blue-eyed little girl was on the op- erating table, under an anesthetic consisting of nitrous oxide gas and ether. while dozen visiting physi- clans and surgeons watched Dr Philemon Edwards Truesdale. fam cd diaphragmatic hernia surgeon, performed the long and dangerous operation.
 No statement from Dr Truesdale and his assistants, Drs Cornelius H. Hawes and Warren c. Atwood, was immediately forthcoming. but an attendant who was in and out of the room during the operation said unofficially that the operation had gone off beautifully" He indicated that the surgeons had attempted during the single operation to cor rect the various internal abnorm- alltles which had menaced the child's life.
 Dr Alfred Miller of Providence, R. l., administered the anesthetic at 10:15 and the operation began at 10:28.
 At 12:30 p. m. Alyce was still in the operating room, multi-win- dowed chamber on the third floor of the yellow-brick hospital atop a hill overlooking the Taunton River But 1t was said that the actual op- eration had been completed, and that only closing of the incision re- mained.
 Alyce was said to have borne up under the ordeal surprisingly well.

COMPROMISES OF
 PRESIDENT WERE
 HARSHLY SCORED
Rev Charles E. Coughlin Made Bitter Attack on
 His Regime

Detroit, March { - (UP)--The first two years of the New Deal. which end today, were years of "compromise with the money changers and concilliation with monopolistic industry on the part of, President Roosevelt" the Rev. Father Charles B. Coughiin be- lieves.
 In hIs most complete indictment of Rooseveltian policies to date Father Coughlin yesterday charged the New Deal still was "wedded to the basic evils of capitalism and the Fundamental errors of the old deal"
 "The New Deal Roosevelt, in contrast to the trust busting Roosevelt, has characterized his administration by setting aside the sherman antitrust laws to estab- fish system of regulations which initiate against small business, ' he said.
 The government has been cap. tured by 2 group of scientific social workers who, he said, ''are dcs- troying the economies of social JuoLfSU csAA0 ktAS $AAAVAA ANoA oSahNs~t N of living as they insult our intelli- gence with their $50 a month wages and their programs of des. truction associated with scarcity"
 The first two years of the New Deal, he asserted. will be remem- bered as years 'of social planning. compromise, mixing of bad and good, of surrender, of matching the puerile, puny brains of ideal- ists against the verile viciousness of business and finance and as years of econniic failure.
 Cards dealt out by the New Deal contained the a m jokers found in the old deal"
 These jokers. the priest said, are the deposit insurance law, refinan: cling of first mortgages, the federal housing program, the MIRA, and tariffs favoring big business.
