A Thought for Today
Rid Itself Of Crime

Think back little Chicago hasn't been in the news with spectacular crime for some time, has it? Remember few years back when there were St. Valen- tines Day massacres, and flower shop killings, and Al Capones, and the roar or shotguns through the streets in bloody beer wars? Yet the racket killings and spectacular crime of the last two or three years seem to have been elsewhere, if you think back little. Chicago declares that's true. It contends that it's battle against organized crime has achieved so much success that Chicago now is rated as "one of the safest of cities in which to live, work, and do business"
 It is now 16 years since the Crime Com mission started it's war on organlzed crime in Chicago, determined that the clty should wipe the stain from her name. Ana now Colonel Henry Barrett Chamberlin, one of the men who gave their time anu energy to the work of the commission, says he believes Chicago is now the New gate instead of the Mecca for crlmlnais. In other words, he believes Chicago mas become a place professional criminals WHHC LO dVOlu, IdIHcI CIlclH c Eoi' VI O
 pasture for their activities.
 Whether these reports are over-optl- mistic, only time and careful investigation could tell. But the fact is plain that much progress has been made. How was It done? First of all, there was the Crime Commission, made up of men who were interested enough in the e"fair name ot thelr city to give their time and effort to doing something about it. Without such men, no city can get far in the fight on organ ized crime.
 Chief Justice Prystalski reused by particularly vicious escape from Chlcago icourtroom by an armed prisoner, called judges back from fishing trips and or dered them to go to work Bargaining with criminals to plead guilty in exchange for short sentences was stopped. The 199-year penalty was devised to prevent parole of murderers Ia prisoner must serve one-third of his sentence before be- coming eligible for parole). Repeal took away much of the "big money" from beer racketeers making them far less lntluen- tial in liking" cases against them. Speedy justice squelched the Kidnapping racket
 Prosecutors and judges attacked piled up dockets. Last October there were 1.145 cases. A week ago, 375. Nearly half the crime cases now come to trial within 30 days. Chicago seems to be pointing the way No other city had . worse crime problem. If Chicago can make this sort of progress, so can any city,

Still Is Exempt

Yale University's golf course is exempt from taxation, so far as West Haven IS concerned. The towns endeavors in the last few years to impose evies on DOT tion of the course and other university belongings, such as the Coxe Memorial gymnasium, the tennis courts, etc, met with flat failure last week when Judge Ernest A. Inglis in the superior court handed down decision in which the un'- versity is upheld in its appeal from the West Haven Board of Relief
 The case has been pending in state courts for some few years now. Even at the last session of the Legislature there were attempts made to pass legislation that would have affected the property ot every private school and college in the state They failed. Now the courts have shown their intention of regarding prac- tically all of the material possessions. even athletic equipment, of our schools as a part of the educational scheme and hence non-taxable.
 In his decision Judge Inglis points out that the modern concept of education Is much broader than it was in the old days. He says, Tt is a course of training which better fits man to live. Its function is not only to prepare man to earn living. It is also to instruct man how best to use his leisure hours. AS matter of fact, as economic and social conditions have changed so that the average man finds that he has more leisure time or expects in the near future to have it, the prepara- ton for leisure is being more and more emphasized in all educational programs"
 However, the law still stands that when property, such as golf course, football gridiron or baseball diamond, can be shown to be revenue-producing then it no longer falls within the tax-exempt class nor does it constitute such preparation for leisure" as Judge 1nglis points out. were trying to prove. That they failed to of the several tracts of land they tried to tax is made.

Press Comment
STONE WALLS.

A Connecticut man strives to tighten the warkness of New York editorial office by telling it how New England stone walls were constructed. He has in mind the type of which Vowel wrote in the "Biglow Papers,"
 q start some clear blown night
 When gaunt stone walls grow
 numb and number"
 He tells his readers that the stones were loaded on Q stoneboat, hauled to the fence line and the largest ones placed at the bottom. So far he was letter perfect, but he goes on to assert that oxen were used in getting the second layer in position. Ox-power may have been used, but we are in- clined to think the occasions were rare, for after a stable base had been constructed, the farmer wiht his sons and hired man were will ing and able to go on with the work, which had a twofold pur- pose, the erection of a barrier and the elimination of the stones from the field.
 There are sections of the state whereon melting glaciers deposited their freight of rocks and stone at too liberally after the surface of ledges had been scored or polished, and while the soil about the rocks and mingled with the smaller stone was fertile, the geological exhibit was an hindrance to husbandry. Hence the stone walls, the con- struction of which required days of hard labor. So far as man Is concerned many of the stone walls have served their purpose, unless they are crushed or are used in home other form in road construc- ton, but they stand grim and silent memorial to the labor of long gone settlers of small towns. men who used scythes and sickles in harvest season and hoes made by the village blacksmith. The men and the tools were laid aside long ago but the stone and boulders re- main.

At Least Some Unity

One of the reasons for the failure of Connecticut to take more action on an old age pension in the past has been the fail ure of the several sponsoring groups to get together on one program. 1t begins to look as if the lines had cOnverged and that 1885 was to witness the passage of law that will guarantee pension to men ana women who attain a certain age and who are not financially independent. Repre- sentative organizations are behind one bill for the first time in the movements history in Connecticut.
 And what is more to the point all three parties represented in the Legislature are committed to program of social leg islation that includes passage of an old age pension The democrats should be the leaders in the passage of some such bill, for they have espoused the cause or old age pensions for some years past now. !, It was only in the last year or two that the republicans gave passive support. With active support guaranteed by the three parties there certainly should be no trouble at all in procuring piece ot leg islation that will prove satisfactory and what is more, workable
 The one thing that is not mentioned IS where will the state look for the $2,OOO,- 900 with which the pensions would De financed in the first two years of the plan. That may be beside the more important point of getting the pension law estaD- lished but, nevertheless, we regard It as a pretty big item, one that can't be lightly ignored. We presume that the effort VIII be made to have the state finance the pen-' sion plan entirely. That never seemed quite fair or American to us There really ought to be contributory feature in It. We know many democrats criticize the idea of having the worker himself con- tribute toward his pension and that ot his fellowman. They want the gov crnment and industry to bear the brunt Such foundation may some day crack

A Book a Day
He Just Stumbled Into This Murder
 By BRUCE CAPTION

A glance at three recent detec- ''v. MT i Pinkerton Find4 a Body" by David Frome (Farrar and Rine- hart: $2), is 8 pleasant and neatly complicated English yarn about a series of murders in and about OK ford university.
 MT Pinkerton is a shy little MT Throttlebottom of a man who goes down to Oxford to visit a friend, blunders into the dirty work. finds himself under suspicion of murder and, without realizing 1t, catches up the important clew which en- ables his friend, Inspector Bull of Scotland Yard, to solve the crimes.
 It's a better er-than-average mys- tery yarn. and MT Frome wins a medal with palm for being one of the two or three English writers able to present an American char acter who doesn't begin every sen- tence with T reckon" ~.
 "The White Priory Murders" by Carter Dickson (Morrow: $2), IS another good English story. This one has to do with movie actress whose head Is blunt t-instrumented while she maps in a pavilion once maintained by Charles II for his girl friends.
 A movie director is then killed by being thrown down a flight Of stairs, which makes 1t a good days work for England.
 The mystery is unravcled by a big OK of a man from the war of flee, who solves murders between spells as army intelligence officer. White Python," by Mark Cham ming (Lippincott: $2), Is a wild and woozy tale about the dauntless Capt Colin Gray. who goes to Tibet to foil plot against the British raj and encounters subterranean lakes. sacred snakes. beautiful and sinister females, and similar phe-. nomena. It's pretty dizzy. but rather exciting.

Selected Poem
THE BoY-BIRD's MUSE

(Lou Feher in the New York Sun) December's gone and winter blows, And the boy-bird weeping in the snows Glove and self-love in the spring) Has lost the world and longs to sing. He fades above the showing town And trills faint and spluttered blast, Then lays his whistle on the wind, Blinks with cold, and pipes at last Small muse, his song, yet how she tries To sing his losses; how she flies Beside him singing to the street, Till singing makes his losses sweet!

Rural rehabilitation in the Naugatuck valley is about to start, according to all reports. We presume that some portion of the $1OO,O0O earmarked for this state to be used for this purpose will be avail able very shortly. The idea is to furnish families with an opportunity to make part of their living from the soil. Land and new house are provided. If industrial employment can be- obtained some mem bers of the fanily are expected to piece out their subsistence through it. While Connecticut may not seem like the ideal state in which to try out this experiment, nevertheless, it is worthy of the trial, be- cause it may be the means of lessening the number of unemployed seeking jobs in the factories. Several families will be includ- ed in each subsistence site.
