Extending the scope of its activ- ities into an entirely new field, the American Red Cross is. planning the organization of far-fung system of first aid stations on the nations highways, with the project already in tentative form locally it was learned on good authority today.
 ..lthough Mrs. Edith Ladd, exec utive secretary of the Waterbury chapter, refused to confirm the re- port that the work would he undertaken here within sort time 1t 8 understood that the subject was the discussion at the meeting of the executive board at Lincoln House last week. The project is alr ,ady in progress in New Haven anC will be extended to Waterbury and vicinity as soon as permission to proceed is granted by national authorities of the Red Cross.
 As 1t has been operated in other states, the plan calls for the estab- lishment of first-aid stations at danger points on the highways. First-aid road workers, trained in emergency work by the Red Cross are constantly on duty and ready to respond to calls for emergency treatment. Each depot contains a supply of materials necessary for first aid work.
 IF States Active So Far
 The campaign nationally is un- de- the direction of Admiral Cary T. Grayson, and several hundred Red Cross first aid stations have already been established in IF states.
 Seventeen Red Cross first-aiders are in the field establishing the stations. Eight Red Cross men are concentrating in the New England states. where stations are being placed on the number 1 highway and all tributary roads; five men are organizing on number 30, the

POLITICAL POT
ALREADY IS
BOILING


Vacation time is here for many
tired members of Congress, but
not for all.
A few must Immediately go
forth to the political campaign
wars.
To be exact. 80 members Of
the Senate and all House mem
bers come up for reelection next
year. With Congress out of town
only three days, the campaign
tocsins are sounding.
Mend Fences Early
OF course, most of the pri-
maries are still a long way off,
the elections slightly more than
q year, but it will not do for mem
berS with broken political fences
seeking reelection to let those
fences go too long unmended.
Active opponents of members
already are busy. That means
the fur will be flying on both
sides soon.
OF the 80 Senators who must
go before the voters next year,
19 are Democrats, 13 Republicans.
There are those in both groups
who will face tough opposition.
Congressional campaign commit
tees of both parties are busy
mapping plans.
Republican headquarters says
that the Grand Old Party will
pick up many seats in the House
and few in the Senate. Demo
cratic headquarters confidently
asserts that the Democrats will
cut even further into the Repub-
lican ranks.
Long on Warpath
Senator Huey Long will center
interest in the campaigns of two
of the Senate's leaders for the
Administration. He has an.
nounced that he will go after
the scalp of Senator Joseph Rob-
inson in Arkansas, and will go
on the warpath against Senator
Pat Harrison in Mississippi.
There were reports that Senator
Long might take few cracks at
. Senator James F. ByrneS in South
Carolina, who accepted President
Roosevelt's compromise of TO-
cent-a-pound cotton loan.
Meanwhile, the Republican Ma
tional Committee reported that
funds were rolling in fast. and
that their orators this fall would
swing into a ripping attack on the
Administration and it's satellites.
Chairman Henry P. Fletcher,
John Hamilton, his aide-de-camp,
and others, promise to keep the
pots boiling"
Every time President Roosevelt
makes a speech on his forthcom'
ing Western trip, every time a big
Democratic "opens his mouth"
say the Republicans, a representa-
tive of the G. o. P. will answer.

arrange-mentally-a the furniture in the
unlghted bed room, transposng doors and win
dows, putting the bookcase where the ward
robe ought to be- sliding the armchair to the
other side OF the room, and even shifting the
bed so that 1t faces in The opposite direction.
The result is that when inspiration awakens
me and leap out of bed in the dark have to
get my bearings by the tral-and-error method.
I must blaze trail through the furniture with
my naked shins, bucking the brd's-eye maple,
brushing aside bric-a-brac, and above all-or
below all-falling over stray shoes. By the
time I have turned on the light and settled
myself at my desk the original inspiration has
been forgotten. Curling my toes around the
rungs of the chair to keep them out Of the
draught, stare dumbly at a blank sheet OF
paper and then totter back to bed-to spend
the rest Of the night trying to remember what
woke me up.
The Witwer method is more productive, but
it also has its disadvantages. For one thing,
jotting down notes in the privacy Of ones
pocket is not easy it sounds. 1t takes
lot of practice.
THE first time tried it was at dinner party
at the Ponderbys. Phoebe, who was sitting
opposite me, had just said to Mr.. Pennifeather,
Il wonder what's become of that Mexican artist,
Rivera" and DIR. Pennifeather had replied, "Oh,
I guess he's retired to rest on his murals."
Immediately my right hand slid into my side
pocket. My fingers closed around a stubby
pencil and sought the little pad of paper had
placed there Gazing into space to visualize

"Yes?" The lady on my right turned to me
brightly as my elbow nudged her.

THE Department of Agriculture believes that
! the corn-hog program came at particu-
larly fortunate time because of the unexpected
development of the drought last year.
This belief is based on the fact that the
acreage taken out of corn production in many
cases was turned over for the growing Of
forage crops much better able to withstand the
lack of rain than corn, with the result that
considerable feed was raised to aid in wintering
animals which otherwise might have been
starved.
The reduction in the number of hogs through
the slaughter program also curtailed the amount
of corn required to bring the existing stock to
market The result was a carry-over of corn
which was highly beneficial.

Much Cream Sei&ed

THE Federal food and drug inspectors cen.
tered a drive recently on cream and butter,
with the result that unusually heavy seizures
were made, although naturally only small part
of the cream and butter entering trade could
be tested. Short weight and low fat content
caused seizure of number of shipments Of
butter, while in one month 5000 gallons Of
cream were removed from trade.
The inspectors also found considerable work
among patent medicines, barring out num-
ber claiming unusually wider ranges of effec-
tive treatment, one for instance, claiming to
cure q number of ailments from sore throat to
horse collie. Another, claiming high potency
in vitamins A, B and C. promised relief from
diphtheria and parasitic worms, among other

lem not unlike the one that I examined
In q play called "CoriolanuS":
1.-THE man was noble,
But with his last attempt he wiped it
out
Destroy'd his country, and his name re-
mains
To the ensuing age abhorr'd."
That, may say, was his mothers view
of the matter, not necessarily mine. I
knew 1t wasn't as simple as that. !

HE late H. G. Witwer they say, had
unique method Of literary compost
ton. He always carried small pad
Of paper and short pencil, and he
had mastered the knack of using
them without taking them out of his
pocket. Wherever and whenever an idea struck
him, he simply slipped his hand into his pocket
and jotted 1t down, sight unseen. Thus any
feeting fancy, any snatch of overheard con-
verSation, could be preserved for poSterity with
out ostentation or embarrassment. And when
Mr.. Witwer had pOcketful of these scribbled
notes he spread them out on his desk and, by
judicious selection and arrangement, assembled
them into story.
It sounds as simple as a game Of Garfield,
and much more effective than the method
favored by Coleridge, for example. Coleridge
used TO keep writing materials at his bedside
and when he had sudden inspiration in the
middle OF the night he would leap out of bed
like a divine-freman and put 1t down on
paper.
I tried this system for while, but it didn't
work. 1t may have been all right for Coleridge.
Most of his bright ideas came to him out of
his subconScious. He dreamed them. And in
those days people seemed to like to hear de-
Scriptions Of other peoples dreams. At least
they were polite about it.
T is true that strange and beautiful thoughts
! may emanate from mind free wheeling
through the Shadowy borderand between sleep
and waking. But the bright ideas that wing
their way out of my subconscious in the small
hours Of the night seldom Withstand the light
OF Gay. When read next morning they sound
like something clipped from the Exchange"
