A Disputed Case
Many local law firms, in addi-
ton to the top-rankers, house
mysterious "flxers'' of nebulous
status. Mr.. Axel b. Craven, a Nor
wegian who got his legal edu-
cation at Oxford and was known as
"a friend Of the Duke of York."
was attached to the Tilson firm.
The senate munitions committee
heard that Craven had offered to
secure from 10 to Is million dol
lars worth of work for ship
building concern If he were paid
$250,000, though the deal depended
on still another "fixer." Craven
denied this and perjury invests
cation involving him and the three
witnesses who accused him still
languishes in the local district at
torney's office.
On many occasions 1t has been
obvious that federal jobholders
had either landed themselves on
the federal payroll to do some in
side lobbying or were feathering
nests for themselves by being OBJ
sequious to certain interests. This
happens in republican or demo-
cratic administrations, TO the dis
gust-usually ineffectual-of lib
erals and progressives in both
parties.

CORRESPONDENCE

Washington, Aug. 17--Want to
be a lobbyist and make big money :?
Well, come on. Sign up and go
to school. Not only is tuition free,
but the school pays you while you
learn. 1t trains you, provides you
with the best possible inside and
outside connections, puts you in
touch with prospective clients, and
opens up spheres Of influence
which will be invaluable after you
graduate. d"
The three big schools for lobby
lists whose diplomas command the
most respect are:
The government service.
The democratic party. D.
The republican party. r.
earn While You Learn
Lobbying, politics, patronage and
the practice of law here are all
closely intertwined. Embryo lobby
lists, prepared for their jobs, at
taxpayer expense on the federal
payroll---in congress or the execu-
tive branch, pour out Of the fed
eral service into private office
buildings to sell their prestige and
influence by practicing before the
government Of which they we're re-
Gently a part. Their efforts seldom
work to the advantage of taxpay-
ers and consumers.
With every change of political
control, q new batch of political
lawyer-lobbyists sets up shop. Ma
tional committeeman march into
town, establish law Offices" and
begin to charge all the traffic will
bear to represent anyone who IL
after anything. Law partners of
senator's and other officials come
to town with like purpose.
Every executive who leaves a
federal job to enter lobbying here
leaves many friends behind-in.
GLIDING some who owe their Jobs
to him-who can be depended on
to be friendly. (Smart clerks in
the right places can work wonders
for a lobbyist). What with this
and the fact that he is supposed to
know his department inside out
the business world comes fiocking
to his door.

now in operation throughout the
Union, except In the state Of
Georgia. There is no doubt. how
ever, that the strength OF the pa
troll force in most instances Is
below requirements, more particu.
larry so in view of the rising ratio
of motor fatalities on rural high
ways. f.
Fifteen states enacted legisla-
ton providing that motor vehicles
be equipped with safety glass.
This, brings the total OF safety

ment, technicians are working on
code Of standards to determine
the essential characteristics Of
glass that will meet requirements.
This should make for uniformity
and better results.
Five states passed laws pro-
viding for compulsory inspection
of motor vehicle equipment. These
are: Connecticut, Colorado, Orc
gon, Utah and Vermont. This
brings the total Of compulsory in
spection states up to fourteen.
This movement had it's inception
along the Atlantic Seaboard, but
It Is now apparently spreading to
mountain and Pacific coast states,
indicating more general trend
toward national acceptance.
"A Drivers License Law was
adopted this year by five addi-
tional states. These are: Idaho,
Montana, North Carolina, North
Dakota. and Utah, bringing the list
of drivers license law states up
to 81, There is little doubt that
a drivers license law, coupled with
a safety-responsibility law, are
proving the most effective meas
ures from the standpoint of con-
troll of the reckless and irrespon-
sible driver, and states which lack
this legislation are at a decided
disadvantage"

1. According to Groves and Og- burn in their American Marriage and Family Relationships" there have been some curious trends in the ages at which people marry. The last accurate statistics were in the 1930 census which shows that the percentage of the entire popula- tion in the younger years who were married had increased since 1890 as follows: age 15 to 19, 2.2%; age 2O- A, 7.3%; age 25-34 49Ts. But after age 34 there has been a decided decrease. Young people are marry ing more frequently and older people less frequently. Whether younger people are feeling the urge to mary more than formerly and older people care less about 1t can only be stirmised.
 e.. .Paraphrasing course of the In- stitute of Family Relations, Los An- egels, one school of thought holds that the progress of civilization has been largely due to nagging wives. Men were too lazy to make the at- tempt on their own initiative but,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-21

driven by the nagging of wives who insisted that conditions must be im- proved, they were forced to "get busy" Thus, behind each advance of civilization there has been some creative genius and behind him in turn, wife with a rolling pin. The authors think this must be taken with a grain of salt and yet that it may hold a grain of truth.
 3. A German psychiatrist, Dr. Kretchmer, has stirred up world- wide interest by his claims that if you are fat, tall, short, slender, athletic etc. it indicates whether or not you will be jolly, gloomy, optimistic, pessimistic etc. and what type of insanity and mental prob- iems you will have. I have exanlin- ed his evidence" with great care but it leaves me cold. While some responsible scientists seem "sOld" on his theories, it seems to me such psychologists as Sheldon, Naccarait, Paterson and others have pretty thoroughly discredited 1t.

MIXING INGREDIENTS HOLDS SECRET OF TENDER, CREASE
 LESS DOUGHNUTS.
Fried Cakes Are Essential For HaI- lowe'en Party.
By MARY E. DAGUE NEA Service Staff Writer


 Get out your deep fat kettle Halloween is near and you must have doughnuts to go with the cider. Have the temperature of your fat right, mix the doughnuts correctly, and you'll never have greasy, indigestible cakes.
 Don't overrnix the dough, though. Each ingredient as it is added should be thoroughly incorporated, but prolonged beating results in brick bats that are treats to nobody. If you chill the dough for an hour or longer before rolling, it will be easier to handle with the minimum amount of flour and the texture will be tender and fluffy.
 Sour milk doughnuts may be turned as soon as they come to the the top of the fat, but sweet milk ones should be cooked on one side, then turned and cooked on the other. I add a tablespoon of vin- egar to the rat when I put it on to heat because in this way the cakes absorb less fat flavor. Do not try to add cold vinegar to hot fat when I put it on to heat because in this way the cakes absorb less fat flavor. Do not try to add cold vinegar to hot fat. If you forget 1t in the beginning, let 1t go altogether.

 You spending your vacation in Maplehurst?"
 She nodded. Now it was Sandy's turn to stare thoughtfully out oyer the valley. His eyes nar- rowed, and he plfsed his lips as if to whistle. Then he looked at her and said. "FioW about my dropping in, down there, and pay ing you a call2 Ckay?"
 She nodded. "I'd like to have you, sandy"
