loveliness comes when you buy face powder. Don't let anyone try to sell you powder which is even & slight shade darker than your own com- plexion. It must match and match perfectly.
 Don't wear black mascara unless your lashes are coal black. Brown is best. Eyeshadow. if used at all, should be brown, too. Do, however, use all makeup sparingly. There's no advantage in having lovely, creamy skin if you cover 1t com pletely with layers of cosmetics.

Keep Own Houses Clean

Legitimate dealers in liquor in Connec-
ticut are going to war against the lllegl-
innate trafficker, according to reports. At
a meeting in Hartford last week speak
er is reported as saying, "The restaurant
business has to have some protection
against the bootlegger :" That's true. At
one period in this new phase of liquor con-
troll in the United States federal, state,
and local taxes were called the greatest
menace to the conduct of legitimate IL
quor business. Obviously this is still
stumbling block.
Some persons might get the idea from
what was discussed in Hartford last week
that all the bona-fide establishments
would be forced to become spoilers" to
wipe out the places where liquor is being
sold illegally. To complete the business OF
wiping out the bootlegger in sense this
would be necessary, but you'll find plenty
of men engaging in liquor traffic who will
find such tasks as slightly repugnant.
They don't quite like being 'squealers",
although they know their business suffers
from unfair competition of the bootleg
ger.
One warning we might issue to the Ii
quor dealers Of all sorts would be to keep
their own houses clean before going after
those outside the law. 1t is barely posi-
BILE that the general public might form
strong opinions in the coming months on
liquor sales tnat would be rather hard to
overcome. We feel sure that if the estab-
lishments allowed to handle liquor in this
state meet their patrons as they should
they'll find such treatment will go as far
as any means to overcoming the threat OF
bootlegging. Well-conducted and regulat-
ed establishments will make more of an
appeal to the average drinker than those
where the customer knows he is contribut-
ing to violations of the law.

Press Comment
TRIBUTE TO GOV. CROSS
bridgeport Telegram)

Senator Kenneth Bradley of
Westport, speaking before the
meeting of the Fairfield County
Planning association at Redding
last week remarked that the abb
sence of Governor Cross (who
had left earlier in the meeting)
would not deter him from saying
what he had intended to say in
the governors presence.
THAT is, that the governor was
exceedingly helpful to us in getting
the Merritt Highway bill passed by
the legislature" said Senator Brad
ley. "At the psychological moment
he sent a special message to the le-
gislature, which was a very great
help indeed. think 1t is only fair
to make 1t a matter of record at this
meeting where the Merritt High
way is SO much under discussion
that without the aid given by
Governor Cross we might not have
been able to pass the BILL
This was certainly a deserved
tribute and we surmise that the
fact that 1t came from the leader
of the opposition in the Senate
does not make 1t fall any the less
gratefully on the governors ear.
At any rate Governor Cross has
fully redeemed his promise made
in the last campaign, that he would
lend his influence to further the
Merritt Highway and we hope he
will, have the pleasure of riding
over 1t while he Is still governor
of Connecticut,

On Whom Lives Rest

There died in Los Angeles the other day
William p Mulholland, veteran hydraulic
engineer; and the accounts of his death
said that he never recovered from the
shock caused by the collapse of the st.
\ Francis Dam, seven years ago. Mr.. Null
holland, recognized as one of the countrys
greatest engineers, built the st. Francis
Dam in San Francisquito Valley, Califor-
MIA It gave way under the pressure OF
water, loosing a food which wiped out
several towns, caused $30,000,0O0 in prop
erty damage and killed 400 persons. For
the rest of his life Mr.. Mulholland moved
under the shadow of that catastrophe. 1t
was something he never got over.
Does any man move under such a load
Of responsibility as an engineer? Every
living mortal makes mistakes in calcula-
tion or performance at one time or an
Other-but does anyone see his mistakes
bring such terrible consequences? In the
tragedy that darkened this distinguished
engineers life there is a poignant testl-
monial to the fearful responsibility that
rests on the shoulders of the man who
builds things.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1935-07-31

not to blame for the high rates prevalent
here. We really don't have as many ac-
cidents as some places that enjoy lower
rate of liability insurance. However, the
ratio of the claim settlements to the acct
dent frequency is greater here and that's
what counts.
Waterbury is going to take steps to
change conditions that cause such high
rates. We have banded for this purpose,
the organization of safety council be-
ing effected some weeks ago. We can
readily see that agreement with the sound
plans advanced at the Hartford session
yesterday will be of vital Importance to
the local drive. Stricter enforcement of
the prevailing laws was the sum and sub
stance of yesterdays meeting. It's, the
one and only way in which the problem
ultimately can be solved. So long as vio-
lations that are known to be responsible
for many accidents are overlooked we
will read the appalling list of the dead and
injured in our daily papers every day OF
the year. That is not happy prospect
and should be changed.

We'd Better Catch Up

Waterbury has been battling the forces
of depression the past few years so siren
uously that she has not had ample time to
give to the development of her sewage
system, such as was originally contem-
plated and is still on the books. We pro-
crossed to the point where an enormous
amount of money had been sunk into the
construction of necessary units in COM
plete sewage system that will be modern
at the same time and not utilize the Maui
gatuck river as a sewage bed. But of re-
. cent months we have been at a stand-stlll
a, It is unfortunate as other communities
are now ready to put into execution plants
, designed to end pollution of the river
valley.
It is interesting to note what progress
/, has been made by Connecticut communl-
J ties since the state became pollution
minded. Ever since the State Water Com
mission in most unobtrusive fashion start
: ed it's work of pointing out the right and
wrong way of sewage disposal in 1925
efforts have been directed towards the
day when no community which has a sys-
!. tenn of collecting sewers, will permit sew
age to be emptied directly into any artl-
ficial or natural watercourse without first
being subjected to proper treatment.
Hartford is engaged upon 3 IL mil
lion dollar project = construction OF
treatment plant that will service not
. merely the city, but also the metropolitan
district. Enfield has started $3500OO
project which will also care for Thomp-
sonville Middletown has been spending
annual amounts for sewage treatment.
New Britain awaits an official decision OF
the proper type of disposal plant to install.
New Haven just finished a million dollar
plant, one of three necessary to handle
the city's sewage.
Bridgeport has installed preliminary
units for sewage treatment Norwalk
spent 100000 to clean up pollution OF
the Norwalk river and adjacent waters OF
the Sound. Greenwich has four sewage
treatment plans. Danbury is adding to its
plant at cost of 100000. Milford has
project under way. Meriden just in
creased the capacity of its sewage plant.
Shelton, Derby, and Ansonia have engin-
GERS planning plant that will care for all
three places. Wallingford doubled the ca
pacity of it's plant. New Canaan has just
put in new and modern equipment. Ca
Inaan, Norfolk Litchfield, and Ridgetield
have modern plants. And so it goes down
long list of places. Waterbury is becom-
ing conspicuous by her failure to keep
pace with the crowd. We started well, but
now our program is behind the others.

and likewise told Of the promotion
al program Of Canada.
1t is no longer question OF
whether or not a state, like pri-
vate business, can afford to adver-
tise. It is a question and a most
serious one, whether or not a state
can afford not to advertise.
The problem confronting every
state is not additional tax burdens
for already over-taxed industry,
other business and real estate.
Rather it is a greater spread of
the tax burden by the, creation of
new evenue-producing sources.
In Connecticut, as in any other
state blessed. with such unlimited
natural attractions, opportunity is
knocking at the door,.
All we have to do is tell folks
what we have to sell and with the
resultant influx of new money, Old
Man Depression will soon be for
gotten.

More astonishing than the announce
ment that President Roosevelt had de-
signed one of the new coins to take care
of sales taxes in various states is the story
to the effect that the Treasury Depart
ment has been considering using alumni
mum as base for the mill coin. The alu-
minum supply of the United States rests
completely in the hands of the Aluminium
Company of America. Its head is Andrew
w. Mellon, once hailed as the greatest
Secretary of the Treasury since Alexan-
der Hamilton, today more or less a prl-
vate citizen. And right now the Treas
ury Department is trying to collect. from
Mr.. Mellon over 100000 said to be
owed in back taxes. We rather imagine
zinc, brass, and other alloys will make up
the new coins, just as Secretary Morgen-
thau of the Treasury Department an

NATURAL ATTRACTIONS AT

Hartford, July 81. 1895.
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
Some years ago when the Flor
ida land development bubble SEEM
ingly burst-no doubt many New
Englanders who bought Florida
land at the peak prices >still feel
that the bubble did break pre-
dicted that Florida would ''come
back" And I based that prediction
on the conclusion after several
trips through Florida, that every
Floridian from the governor down
to the lowliest cracker refused to
lose faith in Florida.
The following, clipped from last
weeks issue of Printers Ink, shows
what Floridians think of the pos
sibilities in intelligently advertising
that state.
IA 100000 fund to advertise the
advantages of Florida will be
sought by a committee of twenty
four men named by Governor
Sholtz, following a recent state
wide conference. Governor Sholtz
has appealed to the citizens of the
state to each contribute ten cents
toward the fund, the rest of which
will be sought from hotels, real es-
tate firms, railroads, etc. The gov
ernor himself heads the commit
tee to raise and administer the
fund. C. Fl. Overman, Bagdad, is
vice chairman, and r. G. Grassfield
of the state Chamber of Commerce,
is secretary. The purpose Of the ad-
vertising will be not only to seek
more tourists but to bring people
to the state to establish homes and
industries"

A Book a Day
Sees Key to Future
In Americas Hands
BY BRUCE CATION

That perennial prophet of a
world state, England's II. G.. Wells,
has been looking at the future
through glass darkly, and he Is
not entirely hopeful over what he
has been seeing.
In his newest book, slender at
fair entitled "The New America
the New World" he sees America
as the one country which can lead
the world out of. its tragic confu-
sion by the force of example; and
he is beginning to be afraid that
America may not be equal to the
job.
All mankind, says Mr.. Wells. is
at the mercy of a race now going
on between approaching world
catastrophe and the power of hui
man intelligence to cope with its
problems. We can either devise
some sort of world civilization
which will deal effectively with the
peril of war, the evils of under
consumption and the various cur
rency problems, he says, or we can
all enter into a long, painful and
violent decadence.
A year ago he believed that our
New Deal was paving the way for
a successful conclusion to this
dilemma. Now he is not SO sure.
He finds Mr.. Roosevelt uncertain
because the country as whole
! is uncertain, and the most discour-
aging thing about contemporary
America is, to him, the lack of a
constructive and intelligent OPP
position program.
IF America" he concludes,
"does not go high and resolute and
proud, consciously taking the lead
ership of mankind in the realiza-
ton of a new way of living. she
will go low and she will drag the
world down with her."

Selected Poem
UNHARNEssED.

(Berne Cooper in the New York SUM-
He carried mail, and met incoming trains
For fifty years, al told, and boy;
He could have lasted half decade more
In daily harness; but retired, he roamed
In aimless fashion up and down the street
A few brief months; his grzzed ears attuned
To every whistle from the switching yards
Sometimes he'd watch the Flyer rumble in
And check its schedule from the river bridge
And to the depot and his furrowed eyes
Reflected his approval or chagrn.
Then came the time his cars no longer heard
Familiar sounds; and on one summer day
They buried him upon the village hill
That overlooks the railroad right-of-way.
