TWO WARS-OURS AND
THAT IN AFRICA

From Weed Patch Vets Varieties
Brown County CCC Organ
Today the newspapers of the ma
ton are filled with articles about
the war across the ocean. There is
war - war between men - men
Slaughtering each other to carry out
the personal aspirations of so-called
Observation-Disclosures that mocks the
Almighty with a pitiless butchering
of His creatures-the ones created
in His own image. WAR-human
warfare-With all its filth and stink
its brutal passion-its glorifcation
Of all that is base and rotten.
Men sing and bands play-that
the rhythm, like barbaric chant,
will induce hypnotic indifference
to the unspeakable horror of it all.
WAR-desolate and destructive.
In America we have a different
war Our army of 100000 being or
ganized for another kind of con-
flict. Our trained officers leading the
youth of the nation into battle
with our real enemies, insects, forest
fires, erosion, and the other forces
that would in time destroy us, if
not conquered.
Men will sing in this war, too-a
joyful theme of joyful war-a con-
structlve War-a happy war-a war
without casualties-a war where
rockies" are made into bigger,
healthier, stronger men-a war of
compassionate with a prize that
counts-a war to save us and our
children's children from our ma
tional enemies-not our brothers.
May God save us from the old
kind of war-that we may win the
war that really counts

The world has shrunk irnmeas-
urably since 1914. In European
affairs we are no more DESTROYS
of remaining neutral now than we
were then, if as much. Should a
general conflict result from the
current situation, our eventual in
clusion is inevitable, regardless of
our wishes. The last war cost
millions of lives. billions of dollars
and untold suffering. God knows
what the next war may cost. The
determination of civilization as
we know it is not inconceivable.
The United States can stop
this war.
My understanding is that the
rightful purpose of a nations
great armament is to defend that
nation from war. Never in the
history of this country has a more
urgent necessity presented itself
for exercising that power.
1t seems to me that right now
our fleet should be steaming to-
ward the Mediterranean to stand
shoulder to shoulder with Britain.
Such action would cause France
and the lesser powers to fall in
behind and Mussolini would COL
lapse in his own bombast.
The total cost would be the fuel
burned to the Mediterranean and
return and we would emerge as
world saviors.
Such action by us would I'M
doubtedly have salutary effect
on other aggressively ambitious
dictators and postpone to a dis

ITALIAN VETERAN
! DIES in HOSPITAL
Charles RuggierO, 50,
Member Of FlOriO Post,
Victim of Illness

Charles j. Ruggiero, age SO, died
this morning at the Waterbury
hospital after brief illness. Mr.
Ruggiero was one of the city,s
most widely known Italian war
veterans. He is survived by his
wife, Joan; and three brothers,
Modistino, OF Sulphur Springs,
New York, and Felice and Pas
quale of Italy; and three sisters,
Mrs Joseph Vieario of Revere,
Mass, and Philomena and Angelina
of Italy.
Mr. Ruggiero came to this coun-
try in 1913 at the age of IL, and
was first employed at the Mat.
tatuck Manufacturing Company,
where he learned the trade Of nia-
chinist. In 1917 he enlisted in the
United States army and after a
brief training period at Fort
Wright, was sent to France, with
Battery F, seth artillery, C. A. G.
He took an active part in the bat
ties at Marine, Mouse, and the Ar
ognne.
On his return to America, he be-
came employed by the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance company and
enjoyed an enviable reputation for
industriousness in his work. He
was member of Florio post num-
Der A, Italian American War Vet
Grams, and of the Fratellanza-
Italiana society. His death removes
from the city one of its most
prominent Italian citizens, and one
who will be greatly missed.
The funeral will be held from
the home, SO Edison avenue. Sat-
urday morning at S:15 o'clock and
at $500 O'Clock to St. Lucy's church
where a solemn high mass will be
celebrated. Burial will be in CAL

INVENTORSBUSY
DESPITE SLUMPS

New York-UP)-The activi-
ties of American inventors seem to
have been encouraged by the de-
preston. for as many patents are
being granted in the United States
in the past few years as in normal
times. The ingenuitl displayed by
inventors, the seriousness of pur-
pose and the value of their ideas
is fully up to their high standard.
A patent is issued today in the
United States for every $500
population. The average is higher
than in any European country.
This is explained by the natural
inventiveness of the average Amer
IN youth and the high monetary
rewards for successful inventions.
Despite the depression there are
some SO group patents in the
United States which have earned
$1,000,000 and thousands OF others
which have brought inventors
large incomes.

Pedestrians.
In checking the totals of these
cities for 1885 against the state
totals for the same period no inn
pfoyement can be noted. These
populous communities, attracting
much visiting and shopping traffic
from their respective sections of the
sections Of the state, and handling
much through traffic over their
municipal routes, are responsible
for 34.4 per cent of the accident
total of the state for the first four
months Of 1885, 1851 per cent o.
the injured and 26.1 per cent Of
the fatalities.
OF the thirty-six persons killed
in thirty-two accidents happening
ON rural highways there were four
teen pedestrians and twenty-five
car occupants. In eight of these
mighaps the pedestrian was to
blame and in twelve incidents the
fault was placed on the car oper-
ator. OF seventy-five fatalities re-
sulting from accidents in urban
sections fifty-five pede s TRANS,
eighteen car occupants and two
bicyclists were killed. Thirty-four
pedestrians were found responsible
for their own deaths while eighteen
operators were charged with re-
sponsibility.
The answer to the entire accident
problem of Connecticut rests with
the individual operator, and ped
estrain. If everyone using the
streets and highways will be safe
drivers and careful pedestrians the
accident total will decrease imme-
diately, severity of accidents will
be greatly lessened the consequent
ly, injuries and fatalities, will be
reduced to very low totals.

Slight Improvement
Over Previous Year
Expected To Result
fAccidents for First Four Months Continue Throug-
out Year, Fatalities viii Be Decreased y IA;
. Potential Speed Of New Cars Tells WOeful Tale

While consideration must be
given to the fine mechanical equip-
nnert Of new motor vehicles con.
stantly being registered and put
into service there must be some
apprehension concerning the speed
at which these vehicles will be
operated as there seems to be a
wealth OF power at the disposal Of
the new car operators and the ex.
perience Of trained traffic observers
is that most operators choose to
use this power more often than is
necessary. It is anticipated that
the weaving" operators will be
right in their element with a car
which viii respond to the slightest
pressure on the accelerator. It Is
also the expectation OF. the State
Department of Motor Vehicles that
the 1886 motor vehicle .registra-
tions WIN excset, that of 1884 and
that gasoline consumption will
show an increase over last year.
II these presumptiohs become facts
then even pessifnistic prediction
concerning Connecticut's 1895 &C.
cident experience will be borne out.
Over a five year period there
were injured in every 10 accid-
ents and we find one fatality for
ach thirty six accidents. 1t is not
a difficult matter, then, to estimate
what the next four months may
develop in accidents nor the ex-
periehce for the closing four
months of the year. The predic-
tons above are based on a careful
calculation over a sufficiently long
period to arrive at totals which
will vary few units from the ac-
tual figures at the end Of the year.
Night Driving.
It is interesting to observe how
the time Of fatal accidents tallies
with 1894. A decrease of twenty
five fatalities was recorded for 1884
over 1888 in daytime fatals while
an increase Of five was noted for
dusk and night. OF the thirty-flve
mot stated" the majority must
have happened during hours Of
darkness. Checking this with our
accident experience for January,
February, March and April we find
25 fatalities resulted from daytime
mishaps while IL occurred during
hours when artificial light is re-
quired to drive on the highways
Car owners should have the head
lamps adjusted on their cars to a.
void binding counter-traffic and
all operators should drive with un-
usual care at night and well over
to the right of the highway.
The four large cities continue to
play a prominent part in contri-
buting towards the accidents total
of the state. Here is a compari-
son between the accident expert
ences Of Hartford, New Haven,
Bridgeport and Waterbury for the
first four months Of 1895 as COM
pared with the same period for
1894:
