PIC RACES MARK
WARRENTON FETE
BeWiIdered Horses Join in
Fun in "Chair" Games
at Benefit.
BY ROBERT r. PHILLIPS JR.

BY ROBERT b. PHILLIPS, JR.
About 80 horses munching their oats
down at Warrenton last night were
more or less firmly convinced that
their owners have gone completely
dotty, an opinion the candid observer
might have supported yesterday after
noon, had he been without a clue to
the cause of all the strange gyrations
on Stuyvesant horse show grounds.
There men, women and children
galloped around the ring on horse
back and suddenly tumbled of and
scrambled for chairs, where they sat
If they could find one-looking as
pleased as so many Cheshire kittens.
All at once the whole troop would pop
up, remount the horses, set of at
gallop again, and then, at the blast
of q whistle, roll off once more, haul
puzzled nags behind them in the rush
for chairs.
This elaborate and diverting nom
sense Is called Going to Jerusalem" /"
Musical Chairs or Don't Send My
Boy to Williams" depending on how
you feel about it. The explanation,
therefor, yesterday afternoon, was q
combination gymkhana, free-for-all,
bank holiday and bear-baiting festi-
val, arranged by group Of industrious
Warrenton women for the benefit OF
the Fauquier County tuberculosis As
sociation. We have always maintained
Warrenton boasts about as many
sports, per hundred population, as
any community in the United States,
and the spirit displayed by the en-
broiled populace yesterday certainly
was evidence for our brief.
Mighty Pig Race.
The pigs were really the biggest
help of the day. The mighty pig race,
a two-heat affair which stirred much
wassail amongst the pigs. pork jockeys
and innocent bystanders, was cap
tured by Evans Pancost (f1rst heat)
and Gordon Barnewell, after two bril-
liant exhibitions of driving, pushing,
coaxing, cajoling, pulling, punching
and ratiocination. Pancost and his
sturdy War Profiteer, a son Of the
porcine Man O'War, flashed across
the finish line in full reverse, after
a driving stretch run. Mrs. Gould
Shaw's Stock Yards Susie, q spank
ing bay which showed lots Of early
foot but lost ground in the dash to
the judges on account Of not being
able to decide which way he was
running, finished q close second,
somewhere of the course. The rest
of the chart could not be completed.
since all the other pigs were named
Suuawker, for very good reasons, and
none of them finished in respectable
fashion anyhow.
In the second heat Barnewell was
left at the post, but closed big gap
coming on the inside after Mrs. Albert
Pierce, jr.'s Dutch Schultz started .
back-to-the-sty movement which in
stantly gained numerous recruits from
the field. Barnewell went to the
whip going around the far turn, and
his Farley's Folly looked the winner
all the way from that point on home.

Ryan To Wage Fight
 To Retain Position
Mass Meeting of Tavern Owners in Bridgeport Wed=
 nesday-Lewis, Ryan Issue Statements

Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston, sometimes known as E. Jackson Ryan, who was last, week dismissed as executive secretary of the Con- necticut Tavern Owners associa- ton, intends to wage a hard fight for his position. Such at least, is the information contained in a letter received by The Democrat today, in which Ryan and his work are lauded to the skies. The com munication, apparently intended as a news story, is signed by Ryan.
 The communication signed by Ryan attacks, the "selfishness" oe the executive board of the associa- tion in busting the former execu- tive secretary, and predicts dire end for plans for liquor law lib- eralization, now that the associa- tion is without it's lobbyist at Hartford.
 Over the weekend the state as- sociation announced that it would mot assume responsibility for any further activity on Ryan's part. The letter received today is on sta tionery of the state association.
 Mass Meeting
 Tavern owners 800 strong from all parts of the state will convene at mass meeting at the Stratfield Hotel in Bridgeport this Wednes- day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and protest to the action taken by the executive board of then Connecti- cut Tavern Owners Association.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-03-18

Inc, in dispensing of the lobbyist for the state in an effort to. hav, the existing liquor laws modified.
 Tavern men throughout tfe state are up in arms to think that any executive boardr or any mem bers who call themselves an execu- tive board would take action of this kind especially in view of the fact that they feel that the legis- lation which Ryan is seeking ha! a very good chance of going through both the house and the senate. They have expressed the opinion that they will find sufficient amount of competition at the Cap itol without fighting among them selves.
 From all parts of the state pro- tests are being heard to the effect that there apparently are some ir the organization who want Ryan's position but they feel those seek ing Ryan's job should wait until after their liquor bill goes through.
 Supports Ryan
 Tavern keepers are quick t.. condemn the. selfish interest of a few members of the so-called exec- utiye board which met in secret in Middletown on Thursday and feel that Ryan, who is secretary as well as lobbyist at the Capitol, has done everything in his power to aidtavern keepers. They are quick to point out that were it not for Ryan they would have been ig- nored by the general assembly and

OFFICIALS WORRY
 OVER JUVENILES
Petty Offenders Present Problem to Prison
 Authorities

Petty offenders give prison off, cials more problems than the gang sters, Sanford Bates, national pris- on commissioner, said last night in a lecture at the Second Church forum. While professional crim- ipals do give much concern to the officials, he explained, the bulk of the problem comes from juveniles, morons and the feeble-minded.
 He warned his listeners to be- ware of the cynicism that labels every prisoner criminal. He de- clared that the world owes much to those who. have slipped once. were given another chance and made god. Preventive work can do much more than punishment. he stated.
 Concerning the parole system, Commissioner Bates said that in spite of cries of abuse of the sys- tenn more hours are consumed by criminals out on bail than by those convicted and out on parole.
 The loss of the productive ac- tivity of the 125,00 prisoners who are yearly forced to pass years of idleness within prison walls in- stead of taking their part as citi- zens is the worst danger to the country, according to the speaker. He urged the establishment of the state-used system of prison pro- ducts as a remedy against the evils of idleness in prisons.

dition that they cannot be saved by trimming or spraying. They arc the winter lodging places of thou. sands of elm bark beetles which are killed when the trees are burn- ed. Most of the 52, ,2e1 tagged trees are small and are growing in swamps. Dr Friend said.
 The work is done by federal men, largely in Fairfield County, the chief zone of infection, and ii is intended to have all tagged trees out of the way before the beetles have chance to emerge this spring. By April 1. Fairfield County will be cleaned. up as far west aa the Ridgefield- Wilton Westport road. The State Highway Depart ment is preparing to spray road side elms in Fairfield County for defoliating insects later in the spring.
 Beside removing dead and dying trees in the area of infection are pruning all dead wood from elms within one mile. of the place where the case of Dutch elm dis ease was fund last August.
 Tn many other places outside the areas of infection. private citi- gems, tree wardens and park de- partments have been cooperating with the state and federal govern ments bu cutting down dead elms, trimming dead wood md carrying out other sanitation measures;
 Pointing out that bark beetles will not breed in elms that are kept in vigorous condition. the en- tomOlogists urge communities and private owners to take the follow. ing precautions this spring:
 Trim all dead wood before April i. Burn trimmings so that the bark beetles will be killed. g6
 Spray for canker worms early in May. It is predicted that these pests will be more abundant than usual in the state this year. They emerge late in April and defoliate trees when leaves first appear. Films thus weakened become suit able breeding places for the elm bark beetles.
 Spray for elm leaf beetles ir June. These insects are a perennial pest arriving later than the canker worms. It is not advisable to spray once for both insects.
 During the coming season the federal workers plan to make & survey of elms examining all those in New England, and all others in the east as far south as Baltimore and as far west as Indianapolis. Meanwhile three centers are inves- tigating the disease and the insects that are known carriers or that may be carriers of the disease. These are, located at the Connecti- cut Agricultural Experiment Sta- ton, New Haven, the New York (Cornell) Experiment Station Lab- oratory. Yonkers, New York and the federal laboratory on Dutch elm disease at Morristown. New Jersey.

Washington = President Roose- welt is veering to the "left" again --aS some of his advisers said he must do to save his political neck. : No one knows how far he is go- ing to go. But he recently admit ted to certain intimates that 1t would be dangerous to swing fur ther toward the conservative side, lest he face radical third party ticket in 1886. yf
 Failure of the people to come to his support In the work-relief bill fight, the progress of Huey Long and Father Coughlin, and the in- creasing skepticism of liberals toward the New Deal have all been carefully considered at the White House.
 Along with some worrisome blurs in the economic picture, they have led to the conclusion that the populace must be rid of the feeling that Roosevelt has fallen into the hands of the New Deals natural enemies, { Wall street and big business.
 Thus, almost within 24 hours, one found Rooseveit slashing at the Morgan-Wall Street Power Trust" lobby against the holding company bill, climbing down from his vendetta against Bob Moses Tn New York, allowing his secretary of labor to favor the strong prin- ciples of the Wagner labor dis putes bill, and ordering an infia- tionary use of $642,000,000 of gold "profit" which brought re- joicing shouts from Coughlin.

Follow Rrandeis' Ideas

The philosophy of Roosevelt and Moley as now on record Is that of Justice Louis Dembitz Brandcis, who believes that vast combina- tions of wealth and power be- comes automatically predatory and beyond the power of either goy- ernment of their own officials to adequately regulate the control.
 Don't be astOnished If all the elements of what Is known as Big Business and "Big Fl. nance" join to beat { he bill. In the first place, they're closc- ly intcrrelated. But more im- pOrtant Is the fact that the philosophy of ''the curse of big
 ness" Is directed at many other
 great lndustrial-flnanciaI com.
 binatiOns beside those of the utilities.
 Unless Roosevelt is beaten back or taken into camp, the Wheeler Rayburn bill will prove but the first step in drive to end the rule of those clements over our economic and political life.
