awed art-world furnished and
FURNISHED with porcelainS and
bronzes. new metals and rare
woods, bas-reliefs and paintings.
The grand foyer is three full
decks in height, with walls covered
by Algerian onyx OVERLAND with
brass work and nodded glass. The
chapel is by all estimates a gem
of ecclesiastical architecture. It's
religious paintings are by Voguet
and Lombard.
THE main dining room is three
Il decks high and 300 feet in
length. Nodded art-glaSs panels
by Labouret cover the walls except
where tall gilded bronze doors
have been set into them. Also
there are baS-reliefs on panels of
red marble. The ceiling is gold.
The whole thing is pretty breath
taking.
A crew of more than 1900 will
be required to man the ship and
attend the paSSengers-2000 pas
sengers when the Normandie is
solidly booked. For fun they'll
have a marble theater, marion
cite show card rooms, gymna-
Sums, and the largest swimming
pool afloat-82 feet long, and 8
feet deep.
Walls of the room are of porce-
lain, with inlaid friezes. Part Of
the illumination is below the

rooms of the ship is indirect; not
a single bulb is visible.

you can imagine, are something
like the absolute limit in sea going
luxury. Each has salon, dining
room and pantry, baggage room,
three master bedrooms with three
baths, three more bedrooms for
servants, and a private deck over
looking the whole stern of the

Into a Beehive

Senator George T. Culhane ran right into beehive when he presented his measure calling for drastic changes in the regulation of the manufacture, sale, and importation of liquor in Connecticut. It is unfortunate that few features of the bill are apt to make the entire thing carry a stigma which it does not deserve. Of course, the mere fact that he proposes return to the old form of county commits sioners controlling liquor licenses abso- lutely will turn the press of the state against it. Ever since Governor Cross made his dramatic appeal two years ago for removal of liquor control from politics, the press of Connecticut has been right behind him at every turn in this one instance.
 And rightly too, we think, for we con- fess we do not see the advantage of the county commissioner control, although confusion of the present control act may not recommend it too highly. There are glaring faults in our present liquor con- trol set-up. They must be corrected if we are to profit by repeal of the prohibition amendment. Liquor is a fine source of .revenue for both the state and federal goyernments Abuse of the same is not going to make for saner nation in which temperance will ultimately prevail and go hand in hand with sound regulation of liquor traffic.
 \ There are several good points in Sena- tor Culhane's measure. He recognizes the plight of the hotel man. That has been evident right from the outset. It undoubtedly will be taken care of during the coming session. A pertinent point he brings up is the indiscriminate right of all types of stores to become package stores He's going to be roundly applauded for taking this stand, if anybody takes the trouble to examine his measure in parts, not as whole.
 ! Senator Culhane invites criticism of the measure. We think he has found it. Just to quote two editors, we offer: Hartford Times, "We may hope, for the Culhane bill, that it will meet quick and emphatic defeat It will have that fate if the people of the state realize it's significance and voice their disapproval at once" Hartford Courant, Senator Culhane of Waterbury is not likely to get very far with his bill to abolish the State Liquor Control Commission and have all licenses granted by county commissioners ="

The People Rule

The Waterbury American seems to be worried about the future of the United States because of the influence of two men whom they choose to term as popular demagogues. The function of a newspaper is enlightenment of the public on all ques- tions of public interest If two men by sheer voice of persuasion can get millions of people to act, what complaint has the newspaper?
 The Democrat has no disposition to quarrel or cry over decisions that might not meet the favor of all of us. The World Court issue was suddenly tbrust into the forefront by the administration in the midst of our many problems at home. Many people are of the opinion that before we attempt to straighten out the problems If the world, we should set our own at rest first. It is also concensus of cross-section of the population that the World Court be settled by referendum vote. Speakers pro and con would have a chance to travel through the states in forming the public of both sides of the question.
 Before the country entered the World War the allies asked for supplies on credit. Then they asked for men and more men. They desired to use Americans as part of their armies and if it were not for Gen. eral John J. Pershing, there would not even have been an American army. Eng land, France, Italy, Germany, etc, are in- tefested in England, France, Italy, Ger many, etc, and are not particularly inter ested in the United States except for what use they can make of her. The United States is still awaiting payment of debts they have promised her. Only d short time ago London newspaper advo- cated that England adopt the policy of the United States "by staying out of Europe's enabroilments" England has found it to be a thankless and costly business"
 The Democrats feels sorry that the Waterbury American has taken the World Court decision so hard. And we, too, favored entrance into this tribunal of justice. Perhaps the people are not such blind followers of the so-called dema- gogues the American accuses of being responsible. President Roosevelt has been called such names himself. After all is said and done the people rule. We accept 1be verdict. The more information sup piled the people, the better they usually rule.

Hayes By Reclamation?

The plain and unvarnished statement made by Mayor Frank Hayes to the Waterbury Democrat earlier this week that he will seek mayoralty honors again this fall at the polls undoubtedly meets with the approval of the majority of fair minded and Ievel-headed taxpayers of Waterbury, Such statement coming at such an early date in an election year, while it may seem little early and per- haps too cold to warm up to politics so soon after last November's whirlwlnd campaign, at least sets at rest, as far as the democratic party is concerned, months of rumors and conjectures.
 Furthermore, whether such clear-cut declaration by the mayor can be construed at this time as anything but Hayes by ac- clamation remains to be seen. Nevertheless, it gives republicans something to ponder over before casting about to find suitable timber to stand up against Mayor Hayes, record for the past five years. Had not the mayor made this decision, with the possibilities of democratic free-for-all, the republican party might have had some cause for feeling optimistic.
 Again the decision of mayor Hayes to accept the office of mayor, even in lieu of his added duties as lieutenant-governor anu LUe Ol idLcI for and in all probability attaining the governorship, is only further demonstra- tion of his willingness and worth to the community. Mayor Hayes by his personal magnetism and determination, let alone ability to wit, is destined to go further in politics; but until that time arrives Waterbury will have to look far to find man who would serve it's interests better as chief executive. His early announce ment, if not akin to Hayes by exclamation, is big relief.

Paris Letter

Paris-The danger of the Forty emy bencfittinng by their immor- tally sooner than they had ex- pected spread consternation afpong those venerable gentlemen the other morning.
 They discovered that under the ancient dome of the Institute of France, where the gray-haired, un- iformed academicians deliberate and ever so slowly pound out their dictionary, there was no means of fire prevention.
 Perhaps the institute was built too long ago; or perhaps its care- takers simply have counted on the Immortality of the occupants. In any case there is not an extin- guister on the premises, and the immortals themselves. warned by the famous poet, Paul Valery, arc not interested in, tests of fire.
 The disturbing information im- parted by Valery brought a lively debate among the elders of litera- ture and art, who promptly called q plenary session to discuss fro extinguishers in detail. This ses- sion led to the appointment of Q special commission on the subject.
 The commission, 1t is hoped, will solve the problem if it can find the money, and meanwhile 1t has been instructed to draw up report talk ing into account ''the paucity of credits at the disposition of the in- stitute, for its personal use."

Along the same lines of the Democrat editorial of yesterday are these words of the editor of the Hartford Courant. He says, "Overburdened taxpayers want all the relief they can get. They see no req son why the business of the State should be run for the advantage of any political party Less government in business and more business in government is bare, but it is good theory to put into practice" Especially so when some ef- fort is being made in our midst to bring about tax reforms. They go hand in hand with economical government.

Socialist senators speak in one breath about eliminating unnecessary arms of our state government or overlapping ones and in the next we read proposal from Sen- ator John M. Taft of Bridgeport calling for commission to study the question of sewage disposal in Connecticut. The com- mission would consist of the State High way Commissioner, engineer and director of the State Water Commission, the direc- tor of the Bureau of Sanitary Engineer ing, and Joseph H. Woodruff, engineer for the Fairfield County Planning Asso- citation. We wonder if this is a criticism of General Sanford H. Wadhams and the present State Water Commission. Its entire work is spent in studying the sew age question in Connecticut, devising ways and means whereby it may be elim- mated. It had done good work It will do more. We do not need new commits sion to handle the situation.

Author Shows How To Fish For Trout l.
By BRUCE CAPTION

To the Impatient disciple of Izaak Walton, champingl at the br to get out and fool q lot9 of finny folk, while winters ice and snow keep him in Information, the best indoor sportSis reading q good book on his favorite subject
 Getting to the bottom of the pile recently, 1 ran across one of the most helpful publications on fish-. ing that 1t has been my pleasure to read in a long while. It was. Eugene V. Connett's Fishing |, Trout Stream" a# ~
 Connett is one of the country'sl best trout fishermen. He has pub lished several books on the art or catching fish, Any Luck" being one of them. But his latest work Is his best.
 The author goes about teaching the reader how to catch fish by showing him how. Most books tell you how to do q thing. but Connett's volume, following the old Chinese proverb that q picture is worth ten thousand words, gets over his ideas with illustrations.
 Tho book contains 94 pictures, each illustrating some special point in trout fishing. A few sh0v stretches of q typical stream with. letters indicating likely spots where trout hang out. Others show where to drift yair fly to approach the fish without frightening 1t. A few show actual catches and the landing of trout.
 Text accompanying each iliustra- : ton briefly explains the point It tends to emphasize. The pictures were taken by q | photographer who accompanied Connett on q fishing trip. They are actual shots taken of the au- thor during the stalking and cap ture of trout, and are indicative of conditions found on almost any stream. 1 Published by Derrydais Press the book sells for $7.50.

Selected Poem
WHY UNHAPPY?

Written for The Waterbury Democrat by
 Jack Feign) Why am 1 unhappy Is not God above To clothe me in the raiment Of his selfless love? Am but coward. For thinking life unfair; Weak shacklcs to loosen That bind me in despair Is my vision distorted That see but gloom And wish for Death to hasten And place me in my tomb? Have l not my mother. The masterpiece of God. To give me strength and courage, When my spirit sobs? Then why am unhappy In life filled with love The joy of having mother, And the compassion of Almighty love?

distinguish themselves fin the Bats tie of San Juan Hill in the 6panS ish-American War?
 A.. General Kent, commanding the division that bore the brunt of the battle, in his official report states that "credit is almost equally due to the 9th, 9th, 18th, 18th and 24th regiments of infantry" Of these, the 0th and the gath were Negro regiments. The Rough Rid. ers--the First U. 6. Volunteer Cav- airy (dismounted) commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt, which charged San Juan Hill, were supported by the 1st and 10th Cav- airy, which were Negro regiments. Roosevelt, in his accounts of the battle, gives full credit to the gal- lant work of the 10th Cavalry which went up the hill with mon of his Rough Riders.

Washington, Feb 1.-The de- cision of the supreme court on the gold clause--which the capi- tai breathlessly expects on Mon day---probabiy will De based on two things.
 ONE is Mir DoOley's epIgram to inc effect that: ",The CODstitu- .ti0n follows the flag. The su- prcmc court follows the election returns"
 THE OTHER is the back ground, the traditions, the life experiences Of the justices who sit upon the highest court in tho land. Probe into their youths, the environment in which they developed, the type of law they practiced and you get & reason ably accurate guage of how they line up now.
 CONSERVATIVES
 Take, for instance, the out standing member of the conser- vative group on the supreme 7 bench.
 As lawyer of twenty-five, WILLIS VAN DEVANTER mi- grated from Marion, Indiana, to the Territory of Wyoming whose laws he helped to frame, and whose vast virgin land he helped to open as an attorney for the Union Pacific Railroad.
 It is not unnatural, therefore, that Van Devanter's opinions should be tinctured with rug ged individualism. He is a fer vid opponent of any vestige of government control or regulation of industry, Once he wrote the famous opinion in the case Of Pennsylvania vs West Virginia legislature. to prevent the export by which the, people of West Vir- ginia sought, through the state of natural gas until their own needs had been met. Van Deven- ter ruled against them. He. is now 75 years old. .a
 JUSTICE GEORGE SUTHER- LAND, 73, who usually is found on the same side as Van De- vanter, also inherited his econ- omic philosophy from the lais- sez- faire days of the. pioneer west. 4@a .
