desirable, as it makes the lures more

Be sure that your rod has a fy-ring
attached so that when walking
through brush or forest you can at
tach the hook of your lure thereto

IF YOU are of a frugal nature the
L reel offers an opportunity to save
money on your outfit without reducing
your efficiency. The principal thing
to keep in mind Is that the reel and

there will be no pull from the tip or

usually made with solid walls or per-

advantage of allowing water to drain

If he does know what he means, he does not choose to let his readers into the secret. Possibly some of his clerical dis ciples will ask him to prove that all "ecclesiastical estates" are the property of the State. Steal my watch. It is still my property even if you are the possessor.
 In the next paragraph we are carried over to England and back to the days of King John. for MT Parsons knows his hls- tory. The Magma Carta, Runny- mede. Russia, are piled one upon another, and MT Parsons would have you understand that he Is a moralist as well us q his- torian. Hear him:
 WORDS OF TACO
 "That one fact Is evidence that the means employed for the change justified the end. The clerics had the power in Russia. The people were the pawn"
 No doubt Frank B. Par sons has heard that tho Jesuits have been charged with teaching that the end justifies the means. With this in mind he reminds the American clerlcs that both Russia and Mexico, by their tremendous success in matters educational, have shown the world that "the means" which they employed in achieving the wonders, 'justlfied the end"
 We have examined only four paragraphs of the Waterbury effusion, ten of them appeared in The Forum of The Hartford Courant in mid-April, he wrote on April 12th. The remaining six paragraprs are as prolific in bombast as the first four. Throughout them all he con tlnucs. in the words of Iago making himself egregiously an ass" It is n pity to deprive him of that satisfaction.

MERITS OF TRIAL
 BY JURY DEBATED
Woman Attorney Claims Panelmen Do Not Know
 a Reasonable Sum

A brief discussion concerning the merits of q jury trial occupied the attention of Judge E. r. O'Sullivar in superior court today when the case of Wilfred N. Cote against Agnes E. Corliss was called. Coun- gel for the defendant, Attorney Luke II. Suspicion of Cheshire had presented q motion asking that the issues of tho case. involving q wage dispute. be heard by jury.
 Attorney Mary Wooster Sutton, counsel for the plaintiff, followed with motion asking that the jury claim be stricken from the docket. It was on the latter motion that the discussion revolvcd. Attorney Sutton admitted that the defend mt had a right to claim the case for jury trial but common sense directed that the court hear the case. because "a jury does not know what reasonable sum is."
 Judge O'Sullivan smiled and said, "Of course trial by jury is a con stitutional right and since we have so few constitutional rights left. think I'll allow the claim for jury trial to stand" With that he de. nied the plaintiffs motion.

EUCLID AVE HOUSE
 DAMAGED BY FIRE
Cause Undetermined By AuthOritieS-LOSS PIaC.
 ed $500

Origin of the damaging Euclid avenue blaze which drove three women into the street at 1:45 o'clock this morning was still un- determined at noon to-day, after detailed investigation by the office of Fire Marshal Den Lahey. Mar shal Lahey estimated damage done by the fire which swept through the story building at 29 Euclid ave- nue at about $3,500. Six compan- les of firemen were at the scene in answer to a double alarm, the last company not reporting back until 5:49 o'clock.
 Awakened by the smoke as the fire was burning briskly on the floor above them, Mrs Mary Dews and her daughters, Edna and Edith, were forced to flee into the street. MT and Mrs Robert Baker and son, occupants of the second floor, were not at home when the fire broke out, spending the night with relatives while their apart ment was being painted and deco rated. The fire, starting in a closet on q second floor landing, was well underway when fire headquarters received a telephone alarm at 1:45 o'clock.
 A box alarm ten minutes later sent more firemen to the scene, six companies in all answering the double alarm. Directed by Chief Thomas Lynch and Acting Deputy Martin Campion, the firemen val iantly battled the flames. The fire burned up through the third floor, spread to the roof supports and side wall clapboards, but was hem med in by a non-combustible roof. Bremen had to break open part of the roof to give the flames and smoke vent.
 Bremen saved much of the first floor furniture from damage by covering 1t with tarpaulins. Per- sonal effects of the Dews' family were also saved.
 The building is owned by the Mrs Jessie Blakeslee estate.

Plaintiff Alleged Husband Left Her Twice; Charge
 UncOntested

Mrs Mary Hager Mess of tlID city was granted divorce on grounds of desertion from Fred- erick w. Mess of parts unknowns following an uncontested hearing before Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan in superior court to-day. She said she was married to the defendant September 3, 1905 at Astoria, l.. T., and lived happily with him for number of years.
 About 15 years ago, their son was killed in an automobile acci- dent and immediately afterward, her husband began to act strange ly, the plaintiff said. He left their home in Astoria, without any prep- aration or extra clothing and the next thing she knew he was living in Detroit, Mich, under an assumed name. She said she went to live with him but he deserted her again shortly afterward.
 She said she has not lived with her husband since April 25, 1924. She was represented at the hear- ing by Attorney William K. Law. lOr

Figures Based On Hospital Reports,
 Says City Doctor
Dr M. J. LawIOr Reveals Data at Medical Association Meeting in New Haven Yesterday -Over-pOpuIatiOn
 of Profession in County and Country Emphasized
That the City of Waterbury ,s citing approximately 22bO.OOO

That the City of Waterbury ts getting approximately $25O,0OO worth of free medical service ar. nually was revealed yesterday ii the course of the address of pr M. J. Lawlor of Waterbury, presi- dent of the New Haven County Medical association, at its 151st an- nual meeting held in Strathcona Hall, New Haven.
 This fact and the figures came at the conclusion of a short ad. dress by Dr Lawlor in which he re. ferred on several occasions to the value of the practicing physician n and surgeon in the community, much of which goes unappreciate,l and certainly unpaid for.
 Dr Lawlor based his claims on figures which he prepared from hospital reports in the City of Wa terbury and county and state fig. ures secured from the state coE- troller.
 Free medical service in New Ha- ven county Dr Lawlor estimated at $1,500,000; ana in the state at $5,- 00o,000 annually.
 Physicians Unthankcd
 A good comparison with these figures, the speaker pointed out, are Waterbury's county and state taxes. The former amounts to $36,S00 year, while Waterbury pays the state annually $120,00C. The total of these two, he showed, was less than the amount of freu services the doctors of the com munity are giving and which are going unthankcd for and un- noticed.
 In opening his address Dr Law Tor said, Seven score and eleven years ago in this town of New Ha- ven was begotten the Medical So- ciety of New Haven county. The purpose of its founders in form ing this society was, as stated in the preface of its firnt published transa actions, to improve them- selves In medical knowledge. The necessity, great as it was at that time for a society devoted to such a purpose, has been vastly magni- fled by the great increase in all departments of medical knowledge and by the wonderful change and improvement in the care of humah suffering during the last fifty ycArS
 Oyerpopulation of the profession of medicine was pointed out by Dr Lawlor when he stated that in the last decade the national popula- ton increased at the rate of OS per cent, while the increase in tho number of doctors was 10 per cent anIually. In Connecticut, claimed the speaker, population increaseI at the rate of II per cent, while doctors were coming along at IA per cent rate.
 This increase Dr Lawlor showed resulted in proportion of ono

1 doctor to every $40 residents in Connecticut; in New Haven county one doctor for every 735 people. In the whole United States the comparison Is 1 to 78O. In Eng land the figure is to 149O; France, to 1890; Sweden, to 2,S9O.
 Urges School Restrictions For the future welfare of the profession and the mutual enjoy ment and benefit of it's members to-day, as well as the preservation of the value of medical services, the speaker urged not legislation setting up numerical limits on the number of physicains allowed to practice in any one town or defin- ite district, such as the Province of Alberta in Canada has just beer forced to do, but restrictions b, the medical schools in registering students. In such restrictions, said Dr Lawlor, character, person. ality, and training would play a more important part than high scholastic standing and extensive preparatory courses.
 A plea to the medical profession to preserve the profession for It's members and not to allow certain related services and duties to be placed in the hands of the non profession was also voiced. And this led to the declaration by Pr Lawlor that the free service Eiv- cn by the doctor to his community goes unrewarded and unheard Of until somebody sifts the facts and brings them to light.
 Dr Lawlor's address in part was as follows:

 value of this service must

 lute accuracy, but 1t can be
 approximated by taking some

 New Methods Offered
 "In view of the many diff cultles of financial nature now besetting the practice of medicine, 1t Is not surprising that new methods of paying for medical services are con- stantly being offered. The proposition most freely dis cussed at the present time is to make 1t q function of gov crnment. This idea is part of the notion now preached and taught with much ve- hemence in various parts of the world, that there is some where q hypothetical, invisible, and all-powerful state which Is antecedent to, superior { o, and in necessary control of every individual life and of every individual effort. This notion Is SO far below the level of established human knowl- edge that 1t Is almost redicu- lous to mention any warrant of this idea in this assemblage.
 Nevertheless the proponents of the particular variation of this notion, wrongly labeled health insurance, arc becom- ing so vocilerous, that If must be given brief attention. say wrongfully labelled health insurance for two reasons, first, because essentially it Is not interested in maintaining health, but in payinug for medical services to remedy disease. Just why the gov ernment should assume re- sponsibillty for the payment of medical services and not for other necessities of life, such as food, clothing, is hard to understand. And second- ly, in countries, where 1t has been applied, 1t has been in no way n preventive measure against sickness, has not re- duced mortality, but has in fact increased morbidity. There is q possible advantage to the members of the profess sion, you notice 1 say members of the profession, in this pro- posal, in that 1t might raise the average financial return from practice. There Is de- cided advantage to tEe profess sion and the commonwealth in that 1t apparently allots no place in It's plans to cultists. quacks, charlatans.
 However, these small ad- vantgaes are more than offset by tbe disturbance of the re- -lationship between physician and patient; by the loss of control of practice and so eventually of methods of treat mcnt. and by the increase of morbidity which apparently. is a non-failing companion Of this form of practice.
