U. 5. NATION OF
 TRIAL MARRIAGES
Women's Clubs National President Speaks on
 'Sanctity of Home

Because the largest percentage of children born today are among families on relief i've are bringing into the world children who will not have an equal chance" Ger rtude Morrison Poole, national president of the General Fedora tion of Women's clubs said yester- day at the meeting of the Litch- field County Women's clubs held at Center Congregational Church, Torrington.
 "As to sterilization of the unfit" /" she said," we cannot afford to pro- duce a nation of morons, physically and mentally unfit. The few who are well born will find it impos- sible to cope with the others"
 Mrs Poole pointed to "the alarm ing increase of divorce and un- happy marriages in this country She said there are 49 different sets of laws on marriage and divorce, and that the country was almost becoming nation of trial mar riages."
 we must recognize the sanity of marriage ties as the foundation of that new day we all desire so much," she said, adding that love of home would help to bring about the new day. She urged that peo- pie be educated in living and taught not to run into debt.

''Sin" was the title of the ser- mon delivered last night by Rev John F. x. BeIlwoar, s. J.. who with Rev John P. Gallagher. S. J.. is conducting a mission at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes. This week is the meme week. An increase in the number of men making the mission was noticeable last evening. Father Gallagher de livered instructions on Confession" at last nights services, also. Con- fessions are heard every morning during the masses.
 Men today are speaking of the evils besetting society, but they ignore the only real evil of the world" declared Father BellwoaT in his sermon last night. "The world stigmatizes as, evil anything it dislikes. anything that flinders or hampers it's pleasure, yet it never stops to think of sin which defiles all 1t touches, which cor rupts all 1t breaths upon, which spreads ruin and desolation where ever it falls. To the world sick ness is a great evil, but sickness cannot kill an immortal soul. Do you think that poverty is ar evil :? The Blessed Virgin wa poor. Christ was poor.

Brandeis is known to be vio. lently opposed to improper dele gations of power. The lumber code goes to the almost incredible extreme of permitting a code au- thority consisting of private indi- viduals to allocate production among lumber manufacturers with no provision for MIRA review.
 Reed felt-and he was support ed by Professor Felix Frankfurter, chief apostle of Brandeis-that Brandeis would rip the code to shreds with 8 roar that might shake New Deal foundations.
 MIRA lawyers, who fought bit- terly against abandonment of the case. had assumed the court would be nice enough to confine itself solely to the question of wages and hours.
 But 1t was recalled that the court had decided the recent oil case on a point which had never been raised and that one illegal provision in code might be used to throw the whole thing out.

 Evil Of Failure.
 "FaiIure-is that the greatesi evil? Take the life of Christ and view it from 8 natural viewpoint He could have come at the head ot armies. but He became poor man His garments were rough, His food plain, He died on a cross and waA buried in tomh that He could not even call His own. We dread death, but Christ died. So that Is not the greatest evil.
 ''What then is evil? It is the only evil which can trust us out of our proper course, that can hinder us from attaining the end for which we were created, that can damn forever what God put above the whole world. If men call that thing evil which hinders pleasure, what name shall we be- stow on that thing which can rob one of every grace and can shut and bolt the gates of Heaven a. gainst one, that can put one into Hell forever. If men call disease which can disfigure a perishable face evil, what shall we call that thing whose breath is so poisonous that it can in an instant make a devil out of an angel. Sin pene- trated the hearts of the angels and transformed them into demons Sin is worse than the devil. It was sin that made the devil what he is. Sin is worse than Hell, for 1t is the sting of that dreadful place."
 Tonight the instruction will deal with ''Contrition'" and the sermon will be on "Hell.'

Ducks Would Better Duck

Certain munitions makers are exerting influence in field which won't be touched by the Senate committee. They're opposed to a closed season on wild ducks and geese this year, which has been advocated because of decimation of the birds.
 Drouth and dust stoms, drying up feeding places. have added to the havoc of hunters--who took out more than 5,000,000 licenses last year to hunt ducks and other wild life. The American Nature Associa- ton and other groups seek to per- suade Chief J. N. Darling of the Biological Survey to bar duck shooting next fall and give the birds 8 chance.
 Pressure against a closed sea- son comes from makers of pow der, shells, and guns, from many game associations, and from many state game departments which de- rend on fees from hunting H. censes to support. themselves and pay salaries. Thus far this pres sure has been stronger than tke other.

APRIL ARRIVES,

March went, then April came With lowering sky, a doleful dame. You yet can't spy a single shoot, Plants are still dormant at the root. Some places bulbs are over the ground And ponds with piping frogs abound. Kids playing miggles in the lots, Roller skaters whizzing, even smallest tots. There's no green excepting the pines And hemlocks and the evergreen vines. There's softer breeze, springlike and rare, I caught in passing hurdy-gurdy air. March is out, so what April showers Do your stuff for the coming May flowers.

 The rectangular, well propor- tioned pool, shown above, is a good example of a formal pool in a formal garden. The stately trellis at the end, the bank on pne side and the open hedge on the left confine the garden.

Look and Feel Silly

At least one high MIRA official re- fers to the lumber code privately as "our flthiest, lousiest code" Big fellows in the industry have been permitted to do the allocating and many serious abuses have been reported to MIRA. The code is going to be changed.
 Previous buildup and ballyhoo of the Belcher case as NRA's per feet test case" are what make the whole episode seem so silly now. And silly is exactly the way quite few MIRA people are feeling.
 Chances are, however, that the inevitably bad effect on code com- pliance will be largely offset by new and apparently sincere drive for enforcement.

 Washington, April 2-Fear of old Justice Brandies and violent disagreement among New Deal lawyers led the government to drop the Belcher case-though 1t had been picked as the strongest supreme court test of MIRA censti- nationality.
 Circumstances of the retreat are almost, though perhaps not quite. as ridiculous as the incident ap- pears on the surface.
 Stanley Reed, new soliciting gen. eral Cummings, Donald Richberg. and Roosevelt to concur with him. The Belcher case, involving vio- lation of wage and hour provisions under the lumber code which de- fense lawyers insisted were illegal along with the code itself, was due to be argued by Reed before the high court.
 MIRA and Justice Department lawyers had nursed it tenderly, speeding it along for what they fondly hoped would be the most complete vindication of the new Deal in the courts.
