the resulting effort at readjust- ment temporary realignment of attitudes may take place for which the word, ''disintegration" is much too strong; old norms and standards are confused and no longer enter unconsclously into the response to the given situation as inherent in long-formed habits; the individual finds himself (like an inefficient plumber in bath room with all sorts of tricky ard unfamiliar new-gimcracks sur rounded with a heap of trusted tools and, perchance, bewildered chooses the wrong one and botch- cs the job.
 Many younug man has gone to join not because he was tempo rarily insane, but because in a critical moment he permitted the circumstances to release an atti- tude which, usually harmless, or held in check, here became his uDdoing. T cyn remember noth- ing," he truthfully tells the judge. It Is important then to keep this part of the discussion strictly re- alistic and not to permit 1t to de- velop into a debate between dif- ferent theories. If time permits; and it is possible to secure the at- tendance of someone professionals ly associated with court clinic or otherwise to be regarded as an cx- pert on this subject, 1t would be distinctly worthwhile to have this subject of mental disability in re- lation to crime authoritatively presented to any group.
 If this should be impracticable reference to the literature suggest cd and common sense. that Is to look at each case with unpreju- diced eyes and not to claim objec- tive truth for one's observation, must suffice.

HUMAN ELEMENT VITAL IN SOLUTION OF CRIME
 PROBLEM
Waterbury, Conn.
 April 2, 1885.


 April 2, 1885. Editor, Waterbury Democrat: In introducing this discussion Of the nations crime, it will be well to stress that the successful treat ment of any social problem must begin with a study of the human element. Neither general theories nor purely organization ap- proach will avail.
 It may also be made the occa- sion to obtain clearer grasp of exactly what Is meant by motives, urges, attitudes, and other psychO- logical terms that come into the scussion as soon as we try to analyze mental processes and states of mind.
 l. Physical disabilities - in- ciuding not only deformities that | affect the individuals livelihood and social relations, but also chronic l diseases which in combination with other circumstances may l produce q sense of infcriority or simply lower vitality and make for | inefficicncy. There are abnormal ities in personal appearance that affect social relations or give the individual mental inhibitions and | spots of sensitiveness that affect his attitudes. More recently, med ical research has disclosed tho i'm portance of abnormal gland cOnd.- tions as influences on temperance and character.
 l 2. Dementia praecox, paranola, and considerable variety of psy- choses are to be looked upon not 50 much as in themselves causes of criminal traits, but rather aa causes of mal-adaptation to the environment, out of which anti social attitudes may spring. Still more Is lack of integration, that inner conflict of attitudes to which attention has been directed above now seem as primary cause of anti-social behavior, when 1t as. sumes a degree that can be de- scribed as q permanent mental disorder. Psychiatrists no longer divide people into those with nor- mai and abnormal mentalities In general; we are all abnormal at times; the so-called criminally iD- sane differ from the rest of us in that abnormality is more perma- nent, more deep-seated, and moro apt to lead to disorderly conduct of a kind dangerous to society.
 Epilepsy has often been de- scribed In literature as associated with both genius and crime. Lom. bros0 took nn exaggerated view 0i the prevalence of epilepsy among criminaly. It's danger to society lies not in its frequency or in its causation of anti-social behavior which, again, is indirect through its effect on attitudes, but in its occasional association with insan- ity which, when 1t occurs, pro- duces a particularly violent form of disorder.
 Some students hold that the criminal is always a poorly inte. grated personality. But evidence is against that assertion. A per- son may have thoroughly wholesome, weii-balanced mind and yet, through q change of cir cumstances, find himself in sit. uation which he cannot meet. In

One more word about the danger of brush fires. As yet we have not had suffi- cient rain this spring to warrant fires over large areas. By this we mean that property owners should not attempt to burn over fields or underbrush without taking the most elaborate precautions. It is too dangerous and is apt to result in too much damage to adjacent property, perhaps even endanger human lives. And in addition to that we have been piling up work for the fire companies of this city at an alarming rate each day. It costs money to operate a fire department of the size of Waterbury's. It costs money to have it respond to dozen or more brush fires every day, when the fault always lies with the person responsible for the blaze. Mo- body should start such fire unless he or she is prepared to take full responsibility for it. And to date we don't recall seeing anybody come forward to assume such blame.

GUARANTEIsD FIRE TRAPS FOR RENT, LEASE OR SALE
 STATE SUPERVISED
Waterbury, Conn.
 April 1, 1885.

Apfh !, lVoO. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The Connecticut Fire Hazard Company, Inc, specializes in rent ing, leasing, and selling legalizc1 fire trap property. Their motto is '"The Public Be Burned" Their property has the endorsement of the State Liquor Control Commi3- sion. They absoluately guarantee in case of fire that the public haa only q Chinaman's chance. If you believe in cremation you have q chance to save your estate some money. While they do not guar antec to give you a fire they as- sure you the least chance in case Of fire.
 The properties have the follow ing general characteristics. Trout door opens in from the street Back doors are nailed or barred Patrons are invited to gather Tn large groups, where the lights are dim and smoke gets in your eyes Infiamable liquids are dispensed and there is much laughing and conversation. They are places Oi TGHuSENVub dHQ EGFSHuCs II yOu guess what they are, have one or me.
 These properties are licensed but if you are a careful or timtd soul you will keep well up toward the front door. In case of fire those who are last out will be car. ried out. If this seems cynical oI sarcastic 1t is because our dumt liquor commissioners insist on put. ting the public on the spot. Oul local fire-marshal has insisted tha the commissioner allow a rear exit. We are with the fire-mar' shai. What can we do? If ", open the back door the liquol commissioner will put us out o' business. While 1t is nailed up w run the risk of keeping a hr' | trap. x
 Let's hope 1t doesn't take a fir, disaster to wake up the liquOl commissioners that they are con stantly gubjectlng the public ts needless hazards by their foollsl interpretation of what constitutel q safe rendezvous or safe revenue

We were a bit disappointed to read that the local tercentenary committee may abandon it's plan to construct a colonial village here depicting life in the pioneer days. An industrial exhibit is suggested as more in keeping with the city's present day status. To be sure it will be, but prop erly speaking Waterbury was first of all a typical settlement with it's church, store, and houses.

In New York
By Paul Harrison

New York, All around the town: A stroll in any quarter re- veals extremes of the islands cos- mopolitanism. On Broadway, Chin Lees chop-suey palace features hill-billy revue .. Over in the east Tifties Q French restaurant serves East Indian curries prepared by Hawaiian woman dressed in Amer ican Indian costume.

The Don Carlos Inn, in Greenwich Village, is not Spanish, but Italian And near- by is night club with an Argen- tine name, Spanish cuisine, Cuban French chef and Egyptian propri- ctor. .Forty-seventh street, in the block east of Broadway has more foreign restaurants of more nationalities than any other street in the world.
 That's the Ticket!
 Busiest ma min twon for couple of days before the running of the Grand National was blond, veddy, veddy English Sidney Freeman, representative of Douglas Stuart, Ltd. Tine concern, known as Dug gie's, makes surething business of gambling, and Freeman's job In this country was buying tickets held by lucky Americans in the Irish Sweepstakes. When holders refuse to sell all of their tickets, he tries to buy half shares.
 For example, a certain Mrs. sam Linado drew . ticket on Golden Miller, the favorite. If the horse won the race the ticket would be worth $143,475; if 1t lost, the ticket would be worth only $3975. So she sold the ticket to Mir. Twenty-four hours later Golden Miller lost his rider in the race, thus justifying Mrs. Linado's hunch and, incidentally, i1icking MT. Freeman's betting concern $26,025 on the transaction.
 Dcah old Duggie's, however, did not lose all that money. For over in England the company had hedged its bet by wagering against Golden Miller. By play- ing $52,O50 against the horse, at 2-to-1 odds, Duggie's could have insured itself against any loss on this side of the Atlantic. By bet ting still more, Duggie's was sure to make money whether Golden Miller won or lost. Topping idea, what?

Washington, April 2.-Repub- lican Congressional leaders bluntly put no credence in Her bert Hoover's disasvowal of 193j political ambitions.
 Their conviction that secretly he has his eye fixed on next years nomination Is as firInlyy fixed as their determination to do everything in their power tO sec that he docs not get 1t.
 This undercover antipathy Is one of the most remarkable phenomena in the contemporary political scene.
 : Resentment against the fOr- mcr president is as widespread and fresh among congressional republicans to-day as when he left the White House 25 months ago.

It is the one thing on which the Old Guarders and insurgents are agreed.
 Asked to comment on HOOvcr's latest blast, Senate Floor Leader Charley McNary remarked: q am not interested in anything that gentleman has to say"
 This sums up the attitude of Congressional Republicanism to- ward It's former chieftain.
 Not only are Hoover's opinions resented, but his persistence in airing them is considered ham dicap to the party's chances of staging a comeback.
 North Dakota's Senator "Jer- ry" Nye--prominently mentioned as presidential possibility next year gave terse express sion to this feeling at a recent gathering of republican leaders.
