Turns In Fire
Alarm After
Triple Dare

NEW YORK, May 10.-Law-
renee Lupo, who is seven years
old and never turns down chal-
lenge, got himself into trouble
when he took a triple dare"
from his playmates and rang a
false fire alarm.
Lawrence, short for his age,
had to be lifted 10 the fire box
by his friends when they finally
persuaded him to ring the alarm
by hurting the irresistible triple
dare" after a simple "dare" and
double dare" had failed. When
firemen arrived IN four trucks
the boys were waiting expectant-
1y across the street and the fire
men had no trouble in finding
the culprit.
Lawrence was taken to the
Crime Prevention Bureau. He
maintained a stony silence at
first, but finally admitted his
offense and promised not to do
it again. His mother was sent
for and took him home.

7 ECHNOCRACY
ECHOES AGAIN

NEW YORK, May 10.-Tech-
nocracy and its sponsor, Howard
Scott has come out of a two-year
eclipse. Surrounded by charts
and blueprints, he forecast the
trend of events to the Printing
Pressmen's Union No. 81. The
board of education sponsored his
lecture through its adult educa-
ton program.
Scott told his audience:
"The only trouble with this
county is that there are too
many men working yet. We
technOcratS would like to throw
100000 more out of employ
ment tomorrow.
1--WE can't run the country to-
day under the old order. The
Constitution and our concepts
of social order ought to be
wrapped in cellophane and put
in the Smithsonian Institution
for future generations to look
at"
The Governments course of
spending it's way out of the de-
preston can continue only little
while longer, he contended.
Scott declared that democracy

SEN. BYRD SETS
OFF MIRA BLAST

ALEXANDRIA, Va, May 10.
National Administration policies
were criticized here last night
by United States Senator Harry
Flood Byrd, speaking before sew
eral hundred members of the
Arlington County Civic Fedora
ton League at it's twelfth annual
dinner. The junior Senator from
Virginia declared the National
Recovery Administration was en-
dangering business with it's regu-
lations and restrictions, and that
all succe SSfuIl business was
founded on competition.
Americans have paid back more
than 40 per cent of their income
to the various units of Govern
ment in some form Of taxation,
he said. This burden, the Senator
declared, is more than the people
can stand and prosper. He COM
pared the rate of taxation with
that of 1918, when the total taxa
ton amounted to only 8 per cent
Of the national income.
Senator Byrd said that in q
time like this, when the whole
country is recovering from the
great depression, that it was "nec-
essary for many Democrats to
vote against the Administration
leader" and that at the same time
many Republicans were voting
with the Administration. Regard
less of political affiliation, the
Senator declared, every member
of Congress should stand by his
convictions and vote his own
mind.

$4,000 RAISED
Al OPENING Of
JEWISH DRIVE

With nearly one-third Of the
quota of $35 900 pledged before
the official start of the drive,
400 volunteer workers in the
United Jewish Appeal set out to-
day to raise the remainder in an
intensive canvass for funds.
Isidore Hershfield. chairman of
the drive, told workers last night
az, a rally at the Jewish Com
munity Center that $500 already
has been contributed by a small
group.
Leading the list was a $4,000
gift from Edmund I. Kaufman,
M. s. Goldnamer and associates;
$1,000 from Morris Cafritz; $500
from the law firm Of Simon,
Koenigsberger & Young; $500
from Paul Himmelfarb; $500
from 1. s. Turnover; $500 from
DR.. and Mrs. Henry Freidenwald.
and $500 from the family of Fred
S. Gichner.
The meeting was addressed by
1Sidore CoonS, who represented
the National United Jewish
Appeal, which has set $3,500,000
as the amount to be raised for
relief of Eastern European Jews
and Palestine reconstruction. He
pointed out that English and
French Jews were contributing
much more proportionately than
Americans. English Jews have
been giving more than So per
capita, while Jews in this country
are being asked to give less than
81 per capita, he said.
DR.. Chain Fineman, of Temple
University, told the drive workers
of the progress of the Jewish
Homeland movement. Palestine
has replaced the United States,
he said, as a haven for homeless
peoples, absorbing nearly $4,000
Immigrants yearly. He added
that 5000 American Jews were
now making their homes there.
Louis E. Spiegler, drive director,
distributed cards of 5000 pros
pective contributors.

Fun And Luxury

People are beginning to make up for the privations of hard times. One of the most obvious illustrations is the patron age of sports and amusements. Recent attendance at ball games, races, fairs, dramatic spectacles, and so on, has been phenomenal.
 There is notable spending, too, of a commercial nature. And there is sur- prise in this field. It might be supposed that, after being obliged to pinch pennies for several years, people would buy thriftily, confining their purchases to nec- essary things. They are actually spend- ing great deal for luxuries.
 Psychologists can explain this as Gre lease". It makes people feel much better to go out and spend their first loose change for things they could really do without, or to fuy an attractive article twice as ex- pensive as one that would serve their pur- pose. What they are actually doing is let ting human nature break loose again. And few will complain if it hastens business recovery and gives everybody better chance for employment and profit

lifelong friend of mine, Frank Cassin, who has modestly given twenty-five years of his life in the supervision of the water de- partment and this department has been operated efficiently irl conjunction with all others.
 We have one of the finest police departments in these United States, keeping crime at all time under its strict and forceful thumb. Regarding the department of fire, cannot recollect a fire getting beyond the control of these boys. No one can complain as to the operation and procedure employed in our numerous parks.
 Our schools arc second to none in this country, the children be- ing taught by men and women who are graduates of the best schools and colleges on this con- tinent.
 owing to lack of space, which ] would not attempt to use, I shall have to, I know and regret to stop expressing my opinion relative to the operation of our municipal departments.
 In conclusion would like to direct your attention to my topic sentence and say that the writers of the articles are not familiar with tho procedure used in the operation of any city affair and cannot wisely offer any construc- tive or progressive plan. If 1t were possible for them to do so, I know that Mayor Hayes and the city fathers would graciously ac- ccpt 1t and give 1t due considera- ton.
 Sincerely yours, J. V. WALKER.

Packages

The governor of Michigan, discussing fruit at peach festival, tells his audience that he has never eaten any outside peaches, apples, cherries or pears that equal the Michigan product. This is the customary way for governors to talk on such occasions. And, of course, it may be true. He naturally laments, then, that friut should come in from other states, especially western states, and crowd native fruits out of their own market. How does this happen? The Detroit News explains: {:
 "It's all in the package and distribution, governor. Western fruits come to us packed in attractive boxes and cartoons. The fruit is displayed in tempting man. ner, something that you can't get out of a farm-worn bushel basket The method of distribution is quick and efficient. When Michigan orchardists learn this trick, there will be less out-of-state conl- petition"
 Packaging is coming to be fine art in America, the most effective of our com mercial arts. Products succeed largely by appealing to the eye. This is the reason fo rthe remarkable vogue of cellophane, despite the fact that many consumers find it annoying. The nifty package wins, other things being anywhere near equal.

A Thought for Today
300 Years Of Progress

Today. in a Tercentenary Edition de- voted to Waterbury's history, industrlally, socially and educationally, the Waterbury Evening Democrat reviews to some extent and outlines the story of the Brass Center of the World nearing the three hundred year mark. Waterbury's participation in Connecticut's Tercentenary celebrated this year has been outstanding since the start of the observance and even before when first mention was made of state wide celebration. Perhaps one of the states finest contributions to tercentenary events is centered right here in our city, Settlers Village, settlement in minia- ture, representing the original plantation, magnified and made additionally impress i've by typical houses of each nationality that make up the present city. Settlers Village has practically reached comple- tion and has become famous all over the country and in many foreign countries, practically every state in the United States at the present writing, registered in the Villages guest book.
 In the presentation today, to Democrat readers, of the special edition, this paper formally salutes Settlers Village, Connec- ticut at three hundred years of age, and the fine spirit behind this city's and the states patriotic manifestation of pride and interest in their city and state. In preparing the history of the city's devel- 0pment the Democrat has had the gener- ous cooperation of the manufacturers, the merchants, the professions and many others who have felt the importance of Tercentenary observance locally.
 Looking back, as one reviews the city's history, we seem to have covered vast span in the course of three hundred years; when the Green was rough field and South Main street meandering lane; when Great Brook and Little Brook ambled undeterred above ground and made their way to more turbulent Naugatuck than we now see; when the first settlers built their lean-tos, erected their fences, started the first Town House, the first school and the first church. Something of this story you will find behind the stock ade up at Settlers Village. Our story in learned from day to day; you have worked in the vast factories that had such humble beginnings; you have helped give the world the famous brass, the famous novel; ties; you have helped make the buttons, and you have worn the buttons
 So today the Democrat reviews this story, pefhaps 1amlllar to you, III Hei- eral way. Three hundred years is con- siderable time, although perhaps as com pared with the histories of the old world countries we might be termed three hun dred years young instead of three hundred years old. But at any rate judging by our city and state record and the history we have made for ourselves during these years it cannot be said of us that life be- gins at three hundred although it is ex- pected we will advance as the years con- tinue to pile up, in civic and industrial achievement. Waterbury is proud of it's record but not too boastful even though, as they say, it has something on everybody.

Sick Poultry Industry

The Supreme court decision in the Schecter poultry case ended NRA, but did not end the problem of the poultry indus try. These difficulties have had a recent airing in hearings in Washington on proposal to make the metropolitan area of New York subject to the licensing provis- ions of the amended Packers and Stock yards Act of 1885. This act provides for licensing of all persons except packers and railroads concerned in the commercial services connected with the marketing of live poultry in interstate commerce.
 The city commissioner of public mar kets, weights and measures testified that "rackets" operating within the poultry industry locally were costing shippers and producers more than $1,000,000 year. This official named coop, trucking and feed monopolies as the most active. Under the New York system the chickens in practically every coop shipped to New York are transferred to other GOODS on arrival at the freight or express terminal, and fee is exacted for this "service" by the monopoly company. In 1882, the wit ness testified coop company reported in it's income tax return that it had made $38,000.
 However, when broken down, it was disclosed that the net was really $750,000, one item of $400,000 being for repairing and the purchase of new equipment, which is rather interesting in view of the fact that $50,000 would have paid for com pletely new equipment for the company" Such trade practices are of more than local interest because poultry sold in New York come from nearly every section of the country. The New York poultry "rackets", according to witnesses, take their toll

What is so picturesque as day in October in the Litchfield Hills! This idea is entertained by the Litchfeld Hills Fed eration who are sponsoring an Autumn Week" to come the second week in Octo- Der. At this time with benefit of nature the lovely autumn season will be exploited for those who want to come to see and to enjoy Litchfield County woods in October. And that is a rare sight from the color tones of the well known naples, cake and sumac to the evergreen of the spruces, hemlocks, and laurel foliage.

HOW WOULD PAPE MACHINE IMPROVE ON PRESENT
 ADMINISTRATION?
Waterbury, Conn.
 Sept. 25, 1885.

Waterbury, Conn. Sept. 25, 1885. Editor of the Democrat:
 White is black say the republi- can and independent democrat of flee seekers put the voters have very good eycsight and intelligence and will not be led to believe such a thing. No human being has ever reached one hundred per cent per- lection and they perhaps never will whether they hold an elective job or private position, when they do reach said perfection we will perhaps stop making pencil and ink crasurcs.
 Actions speak louder than words, the present office holders have al- ready reduced the citizens tax bills besides keeping the streets in good condition. The Pape forces say they will cut the tax bill more. How will they do 1t, unless they do away with the street and water departments almost entirely, and stop many needed Improvements that growing city must have. When a street pavement wears out 1t must be repaired or the riding pubic takes the bumps and not good naturod either, and when the walks get full of holes they too must be repaired or we will all be broad jumpers on a large scale. Perhaps the republicans have an idea how to make rough riders and champion Jumpers out of us Waterburians, or perhaps they will just put red lanterns around the holes aB they appear, | and during the day rcd flags. or maybe they will provide each in- dependent democrat with chair and give them jobs sitting over the holes, this as reward for helping them win the election, if they win and what big if.
 But in all seriousness dear friends of Waterbury, the citizens of other cities look with envy upon the orderly way in which the many branches of our city gov ernment have been handled the past six years and would rcelect those officials responsible for at least another term if they were in our shoes.
 Yours truly,
 FAIR MINDED CITIZEN. P. S.--Hayes will win by at least 3,00J votes October 8th.

 And pink walls IE 1t truc--is if fantaBy-1 This world of purple shades and crimson towers, Carvcn through patient centuries? That yoIder pinnacle, rising from And green immensity--can the brown mule And the white one and the black, can the mules Bear their riders up the cliff to the crest An down the far side; up and down again To the narrow plateau?
