A Thought for Today
Dime Chain Is Folly

These chain letters whereby honest souls
make a few dimes for themselves at the
price of overlooking the postal system are
good deal like the kind of prosperity we
had before 1929, when you stop to think
about it. In each case the idea is good
one as long as you can keep the ball roll
ing. Collapse comes only when the supply
of suckers runs out. Look at the dime
thing, for instance.
You get letter with five names on it.
You add your name to the bottom, scratch
off the top name, and mail copies to five
friends; and then you send dime to the
man whose name you scratch off. If the
chain goes on unbroken, in the course OF
time several thousand people are sending
you dimes; they, in turn, are recompensed
by several times that many thousand other
people, who in turn get dimes from an
even larger number of perfect strangers,
and SO on.
Theoretically, there is no exact limit
to the distance the thing could be carried.
All that is necessary is that on any given
date the number of new suckers being
tapped is greater than the number of
dimes in the mail AS long as it keeps on
going upward, nobody can lose.
Perhaps it is unkind to see in all this
parallel to the frenzied prosperity of the
boom years. But you can see it if you look
for it, Just the same. In the booming
'tWenties, our industrial production was
keyed to a steadily rising mass of debts.
Part of this came in installment-pla buy
ing at home; the greater part came from
foreign trade.
Each year we sold a greater quantity of
goods abroad. Since we bought abroad
much less than we sold, the customers
overseas couldn't pay us. So - we lent
them the money, flooding the domestic
market with all manner of foreign bond
issues. The amount of sales and loans
kept on going up, year after year. AS
long as the loans went up just shade
faster than the sales, everything was
lovely.
q But the whole business - like the dime
letter chain - was due to crash the mo-
ment this progression was checked. The
check finally came, the crash followed.
and ever since we have been rubbing our
heads and wondering what happened to
us. So we get back, again, to this dime
letter business. It's a dizzy way to make
money, to be sure; but there is a precedent
for it. Individuals are simply trying, in
small way, what the nation as whole
tried in big way few years ago. The
result, in each case, is foregone
conclusion.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1935-05-07

A woman in Philadelphia and man in
South Bend, Ind, were both active in
founding Mothers Day." The man seems
to have begun his campaigning for it in
1904. He made speeches in Kansas City
and finally put over a public program hon
oring mothers in that city in 1911. The
next year he sponsored Mothers Day
resolution at a national fraternal conven-
ton.
The woman got later start, but seems
to have aroused more national attention.
In 1908 she formed society, addressed
public meetings and campaigned among
conventions and church gatherings in
order to get day set apart lin honor of
the best of mothers, your own" The sec
ond Sunday in May was suggested for
this as being the closest to her own moth
er's birthday.
From such beginnings her work went
on until she got the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture to designate the first official Mothers
Day in that state in 1918. In 1914, follow
ing resolution of Congress designating a
Mothers Day, President Wilson issued, a
proclamation on the subject.
Since then the observance has gone for
ward with somewhat surprising develop
ments in the way of commercial enter
prise Gifts, flowers, kilograms, and so on
are all urged upon the public. And the
public pretty generally accepts, believing
that even if there is some ballyhoo con-
nected with the occasion, it is all in q
good cause.

Moulders OF Men

The retirement of Ella G. Bossidy and
Jane C. Tracy as principals of two of the
city's grammar schools comes as some
what of shock to their many friends in
Waterbury. Yet when those self-same
friends stop to think of the long years of
faithful service that these two women
have given the educational department Of
this city we do not wonder that they
would seek rest. 1t is easy to measure the
years of devotion and toll, but would re-
uuire much patient research and long
hours of careful study to ascertain the
thousands of men and women of Water
bury who have come under their influ-
ence and profited thereby.
The school teacher of forbidding mien
to the youngster in ragged pants or little
girl in freshly-starched dress is an entirely
different character to the man or woman
fully matured. 1t is then that we really
realize the full measure of their service
to the community; it is then we know the
tremendous amount, of restraint and pa
thence that the instructor must show in
dealing with children of varied rationale
ties, temperaments. training, and the like
Yet we require of the teacher that the
child of many moods be trained to go out
into the world equipped with the neces-
sary tools to make his or her own way.
What a responsibility.
The ability to transmit strength of char
acter, as well as thorough training in the
rudiments of knowledge, was possessed in
great plenty by the Misses Ella Bossidy
and Jane Tracy. They were never ones
10 shirk the difficult task nor to shift the
responsibility to other shoulders. And it Is
a fitting tribute TO them that today men
and women In every walk of life stand
forth and proudly proclaim the fact that
they learned of the good things in life at
the hands of these same women. Material
things have no weight as compared TO the
praise OF Che pupil for the teacher in later
ifo. And Il Ia being heard on every side
today as these two character mouldcrs re.

Home Sizes

Apartment house owners in New York
City are said to be busy cutting down 10
and 14-room suites to flats ranging from a
room and half to six rooms. Chat half
room, by the way, is dinette or kitchen
ette.) Families are smaller than they used
to be, and many of their activities, at least
in big city, are taken care of outside the
home. A New York paper remarks, "They
expect to have their babies born in hos
pital, their marriages celebrated in
hotel, and their entertaining done in night
clubs"
All this may be true in the metropolis,
but it doesn't mean that real homes are
vanishing from the land. Probably the
small efficiency flats are occupied not so
much by families who merely sleep IN
them, as by business women and young
married couples without children. Outside
the apartment house sections of the cities
homes will doubtless vary in size with
financial resources and family require
mentS.
There is a great need for small homes,
but if slightly larger homes were available
at a reasonable cost they would be more
popular Families are learning to like
recreation rooms, separate bedrooms for
the two or three children and more than
one bathroom per family. With adequate
incomes to take care of roomier place,
American families would not be long con-
tent with -and-a-half-ro flats or five
room houses.

Pay AS You Fight

One of the most striking items in the
plan submitted by John T. Flynn to ''take
the profit out of war" is his proposal to
pay as we go. "In 1917 and 1918," he
says "we had our war and sent the bill
to our children and grandchildren. In the
next war we must resolve, as intelligent
and civilized beings, that while one part
of the population, the army, fights in the
field, the other part that stays at home will
pay the bills"
To do this, he would eliminate all war
profits, putting the people at home on
almost the same level of compensation as
those at the front, taking by taxation half
of all corporation profits up to per cent
and all profits above that figure, taxing
individual incomes from 1000 to $4,000
more heavily than ever before, and con-
fiscating all incomes over $4,000. Thus
the government would have more income,
and it's war supplies would cost less be-
cause prices would not be forced up.
It sounds good, and may be an ideal way
to fight war if it can be done. But
there are many practical difficulties which
would prevent complete success. 1t is well
to go as far as is practicable in this direc-
ton; but we can hardly go the whole
way. And there will remain the problem of
veterans care and compensation when the
war is over. The only complete solution
of the problem of veterans care and COM
pensation when the war is over. The only
complete solution of the problem is not
to get into a war. Peace is the only bud
get-balancer.

Editor, the Democrat:
In England as also in Franco
confidence from the people on ma
jor issues. 1t is not perfectly clear
to me just how the system OPP

instances where parliament dis
solved and new elections were
called or a new cabinet formed.
The United States, of course,
does not operate it's government
in any such manner but i wonder
If the trend is not toward the Bril-
fish system. England operates
without a written constitution and
her people are said to have q
greater degree OF freedom than the
people of America.
Such issues as prohibition, child
labor, old age pension, relief, or
other national issues cannot be
manipulated by parliament against
the best interests of the people or
else II incurs the immediate wrath
of the people. II parliament fails
TO agree or refuses the premier q
vote of confidence 1t calls for a
new election.
Perhaps their are drawbacks to
the British system but recently the
American people deluged the SEN.
