Connecticut, as many have OBJ
served, is a small State. Its area
is less than 5000 square miles.
In extent it ranks forty sixth
among the States; in population,
twenty-ninth. Its inhabitants num-
Der not so many more than there
are residents in the. Bronx; just
about as many as there are in
Detroit, But like many persons
who are under the average height
and weight, Connecticut has al
ways had plenty of energy -

Booth Harrington thinks the boys to-
day have harder row to hoe than in the
good old days. We're inclined to agree
with him., What restful, uneventful life
it was in the days when there was no
hustle and hustle like today. People were
a bit different, too. There was less
suspicion of your neighbor, more love and
respect Today, well, today we're rather
restless and too much dissatisfied.

Bowing
Strutting,
Strolling
In moving black and white,
The silhouettes are posturing
Across the lighted screen:
Sworded heroes,
Bearded sages.
Romping clowns
And mincing ladies'
Little filigrees OF shadow,
Pigments OF an ancient drama
Like the gongs that clash In concert,
Like the drums that beat In tempo.
They are figures
Minus color
Matched to rhythm
Minus music.

AZ VOLTA TORREY

Straight into the June dawn,
motor purring, wing wires sing
ing, went the little weather plane,
In the front cockpit Jean pulled
the borrowed stocking cap tightly
over her reddish curls and turned
to smile at goggled Jimmy Carr
He waved and nearly stood the
ship on end.
That was like Jimmy always
cutting up. II he weren't Bills
fraternity brother, and IL she had
not heard over and over again
what swell pilot he was. Jean
would have accepted his jocular
invitation to fly.
The plane turned and she peered
down. Yes, there on the side OF
the hill was the apartment build
ing.
In few hours she would be
back beneath that roof calling Bill
to breakfast as usual, just as
though she hadn't been to heaven
and back.
Jean laughed aloud. 1t had been
SO easy to steal away! But she
knew she would have tainted IL he
had awakened and caught her.
She frowned. wouldn't Bill be
furious IL he found out? He had
forbidden her even to step into a
plane. An altitude flight, such as
this, would make him see red. As
red as that globe of fire on the
horizon!
women haven't any business in
aviation" he maintained stoutly.
This country would be a lot bet
ter off If it had more old-fashioned
wives and mothers with their feet
on the ground, and fewer aviatrices
gallivanting around"
But on up an invisible circular
stairway into the sky went his wife.
Like a ghost protesting the ship 6
intrusion, the wind howled and
dashed at it. Jean pulled her fur
coat closer around her soft throat,
talking to herself as might a school
girl playing hockey.
Bills a grand guy" she de-
clared. HE was just born thirty
! years too late"
She wished though that he
| weren't so bossy. He had beln such
a jolly good sport before she mar
ried him. 1t didn't seem possible
that any man, least of all Bill, could
have changed so much in one short
year.
Quickly she found excuses for
him. When his business began to
pay again, as 1t soon should, he'd
be himself once more. Perhaps he'd
think to have flowers sent home
occasionally, kiss her when he got
up from the table as he had at
first, and maybe wink m'schiev-
ously and tease her-rather than
scold.
The plane dropped sharply. Jean
whirled around to see If Jimmy
were playing pranks, but the grim
fixedness of his lips told her this
was no joke. They were soaring
again right away.
1t was eerie, kind of creepy, be-
ing so far from the earth, in the
midst of so much nothingness-all
alone with a handsome young
bachelor whom she suspected OF
having drunk too many Manhat-
tans at the Livingstons' party last
night.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-06-12

1t wasn't one air pocket: It was
dozen. The plane bounced like
ball, slipped sideways, twisted, yet
crawled upward. 1t was worse
than roller coaster; and they
weren't over the top yet.
The higher Jimmy flew the
greater would be his reward. He'd
go the limit, Jean was sure.
She found herself breathing
harder and harder, the cold thin
air piercing her lungs like icicles.
yhe motor too was gasping now.
like an old auto chugging slowly
toward the ridge of a steep hill.
'Time to change gears" Jean
thought, watching the joystick be-
fore her. Instead the plane made
a last strenuous leap, its nose
straight up. Then the motor died.
The wind flung the fragile craft
cruelty off on one side, paused
second to toy with it as a cat
might a mouse, and sent 1t shrek
ing back to earth.
Down, down, they shot. Faster
and faster. A crazy quilt doomed
up straight ahead. Rushing toward
| them. Spinning like a gigantic,
solid, tornado funnel.
The wires screamed. The motor
roared a challenge. Jean watched,
! wide-eyed.
In the midst of it was Bills face
scowling. 1t was like those double
exposures in the movies. She shut
her eyes. She was sorry she had
disobeyed him. please, please, for
give me, darling" she whispered.
He could not have hurt her more
with his fist than with that re-
| proachful look.
She breathed deeply, supremacy
happy. His lips were as sweetly
soft as on the night he proposed.
He was his old self again-her
lover! Why, he hadn't even asked
her what the devil she was doing
in the weather plane, or why she
had run off without getting his
breakfast, or anything about the
crash-for there must have been
| one!
Then she remembered Jimmy.
Was he hurt? No, he was there
too.
sure, Bill was shouting say
agely, Il said you could take her
| up, and maybe scare some of that
enthusiasm for flying out of her,
but damn 1t, this is too muchi
She's all i've got! If you've
She'll be all right" Jimmy cut
in. That dive was enough to
make anybody faint"
Jean sat up, looked around.
WELL" she sighed, II thought
was in hospital. This is just the
airport restroom, isn't it?"

Had her cheeks not besn rosy a.

have blushed at the remembrance

WRONGFUL USE OF TAXATION
POWER ASSAILED BY EDUCATOR

The use Of the taxing power by the
federal government to bring about So
cial changes was assailed in a re
cent address by DR. Nicholas Murray
Butler, president of Columbia uni
versity, New York, who called it dan
gerous to liberty and asserted it was
undermining the Constitution
DR. Buffers address, extending also
to a criticism of RECOMMENDATION Of in
dustry and agriculture was entitled rs
Thomas Jefferson the Forgotten MAN.
The educator warned that "a vengeful
desire by the government to place in
ordinately high taxes on personal and
corporate incomes and on personal
estates would soon be seen to have a
profoundly disturbing effect on the
social order, costing employment to
and inflicting great damage
on universities, hospitals. asylums and
other institutions now carried on by
public spirited citizens outside the
sphere Of government

Perhaps the Administration does not
seek any untoward change in our form
of government. But that charge has
been laid against it and it is well that
it admit or disprove the allegation.

CONSTITUTION DAY OF UNUSUAL
INTEREST THIS YEAR

For a number of years the Sons Of
the American Revolution have sponsored
observance of September II as Con-
stitution day. 1t is patriotic OBJ
servance in which the basic charter OF
the United States government is studied
and its importance and high value re-
impressed upon the minds and hearts
Of the people.
Proclamations by governors of the
various states are now being published
setting aside this day for that very
worthy ceremony. There IS promise
that much more than the usual i'm
portance will attach to the day this
year And that will be because SO
much discussion is current about the
supposed intention of the present ma
tional administration to propose certain
amendments to the Constitution
The Constitution has been amended
number of times and there can be no
logical objection to proper amend
ment of the basic law Of the land to
keep it in step with changing condi-
tons that passing years bring about.
But there is room for argument as to
how far proposed changes in our form
of government shall go.
A bitter controversy is at present
being waged between two contending
forces. One is convinced that the
present national Administration plans
fundamental change in our American
form of government that it would
center in Washington greater and
greater authority, with vast bureau
cracy directing the industry and life
Of the nation, eating up its substance
and destroying the liberties that have
made America haven for the OPP
pressed of the world; form Of govern
ment patterned after European govern
ments where the individual is made
subservient to an ali-powerful state
and where personal liberty is scoffed
at. Spokesman for the Administration

dent and his followers seek only those
changes needed to secure just govern
ment.

AMERICA WILL NEVER SUBMIT
TO A DICTATOR.

Huey Long, the kingfish, is dead,
shot to death by young assassin 1t
is the natural death that could be ex-
pected for one who pursued the tactics
that Long did
While Long was ostensibly fighting
for the common man, he was such an
outspoken and bitter enemy of all those
who opposed him that he was bound to
arouse the strongest animosities and
hatreds. He sought to rule with an
iron hand and to crush all who did not
follow his leadership. He advanced
himself to where he was an absolute
ruler Of the state of Louisiana and then
ruled that state with all the abandon
of the widest dictator. The legislature
abjectly surrendered to his every bid
ding He would call it together, order
it to pass laws needed by him to con-
troll his enemies, and the legislature
would comply When his object had
been attained, he would summarily dis
miss the law-making body of the
state.
In appealing to the common people
he made promises that he must have
known could not be delivered by him
or anyone else. He employed the
methods of a demagogue and appealed
to the passions and cupidity of the I'M
thinking. The nature of his death can
not be condoned but the nation is un-
doubtedly better off without him The
common remark is that "he got what he
had long been asking for"
His death is rather strong assur-
ance that the American people will not
submit to a dictator Long tried it, he
rode rough-shod over the state of
Louisiana and he dies by the hand Of
an assassin

FRIENDS REVIVE
 COSTELLO CASE
Efforts in Progress to
 Have Former Fireman . Reinstated

Friends of Patrick J. Costello, former member of the fire depart ment, who was dismissed after @ hearing before the board of fire commissioners last February, have begun a move to have him either reinstated as a fireman or receive compensation from the city of Wa terbury, Costello is now patient at the U. s. Veterans hospital Ut Newington, suffering from Q cur- ature of the spine said to be the result of injuries sustained in the Garden Building fire of last year.
 The group of friends plans either to apply for Costello's reinstate- mant when he is discharged from the hospital, or to apply for com- pensation for the injuries reported to have been received while eEl. ploye dby the city.
 Costello was dismissed from the force on Feb. 9th of this year, four days after he had been suspended on charges of being absent without leave and conduct unbecoming a fireman.
 The Garden building blaze broke out Nov. 24th 1884, Costello was with Engine 10, of headquarters, at the time. The fire swept through several portions of the building, driving several hundred dancers from Garden hall. While firemen were attacking the center of the blaze, in the Owl lunch on the ground floor, the flooring caved through and a number of firemen were hurled to the cellar, with de- bris falling on them. A dozen fire- men were injured in the blaze.
 Costello's friends say that his present condition, according to doc- tors, is the result of injuries he re- ] ceived in the fire.
