CENDING floods Of kilograms to
~ senators or representatives for or
against pending legislation will not be
so effective in the future, as a result
of the disclosures before the senate
lobby investigators. They heard evil
dence to the effect that large numbers
of kilograms against the utilities bill
were sent from Warren, Pa, by an
employee of the Associated Gas and
Electric system, that the messages
were signed with names taken from a
city directory and that the originals
were destroyed at Warren.
The senate committee, evidently
planning a nationwide inquiry, asked
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany to prohibit the destruction of
any messages transmitted during the
last year, and officials of the company
promised to cooperate.

by the United States Supreme court

Even if the Wagner law is knocked
out by the Supreme court, the admin

will avert at least 80 per cent of the
usual number of strikes, walk-outs,
lock-outs and other disorders. 1t is
being launched in Toledo, Ohio, and
has been called the "Toledo plan" be-
cause it was conceived by Assistant

dispute in that Ohio city.
1t has no sectional characteristics
carries no federal compulsion. and
rests solely upon the willingness of
workers and employers in every city
that adopts the plan, to abandon the
harsh economic weapons of old and
substitute peaceful discussion for
violence.
Here again Green throws a monkey
wrench into the machinery. He says
the A. F. of L. will not cooperate in
promoting the McGrady plan because
it provides that the mediation panels

Peace on Verge Blood if Italy Forces War on Ethiopia

(By The Associated PresS)

ADDS ABABA, July 20, -Emper- or Halle Selassie's stirring appeal to the world said that peace was on the verge of being drowned with tears of blood if war is launched by Italy.
 When asked whether Ethiopia would choose between conciliation and war in view of the large fore es already mobilized by Mussolini on Ethiopian borders, the Emperor declared that his empire would de- fend its territory to the last man.
 Ever since the crushing defeat to the army of Ethiopia about forty years ago Italy has nourished a de- sire to attack us said Selassie. This desire it is assumed today is more acute and menacing in its form than in all history. Italy has pro- claimed her desire for warfare to all the world by her rejection of all our advances for peace and our sin cere desire for conciliation, which she has consistently rebuffed.
 Two thousand years after the Crucifixion of Christ peace will be drown in tears of blood and war, said the emperor

A Thought for Today
Hold Your Horses!

Stentorian voices in the golden days of long ago would below warning along about July to drivers to hold their horses, as the elephants were coming. It heralded the appearance of the head of the annual circus parade far down West Main street or Bank street or East Main street, de- pending upon what lot the circus had pitched it's tents for the visit. But the circus parade of the early part of this century was as much a part of the big show as the appearance of the gayly- spangled performers later on in the day.
 And the news of the big top says that the street parade will be part of the show starting with the 1886 season. The larg- est show on earth is now equipping it's moving stock with rubber tires, so that hard-Surfaced pavementS won't be cut up by the heavy vehicles. Waterbury never suffered in this respect as Street Super intendent Thomas Fleming was quick to state when interviewed by the Waterbury Democrat. They could drive as many wagons, horses, elephants and other ani- mals over our streets without materially harming them.
 However, we hope that this preliminary discussion of the .street parade will be for naught so far as Waterbury is con- oerned. The town, always known as good circus town, has been somewhat summed of recent years. If our city off cials can do anything to change this state of affairs we suggest that it be done for 1886. We like the circus crowds, the Eaiety and excitement of the day, and the performances of the talented circus people. Plus the parade Waterbury will give such a show royal welcome.

Poor Psychology

Glancing down the list of notables who are going to attend the big republican ball in this city ones attention is naturally attracted by the list of the mighty who have fallen. It might be judged poor psychology on the part of the packers of the enterprise to have distributed former titles so proniScuously among the list of names. There are former state commiS- Sioners and former state and federal off cials, but every opportunity is taken to recall that they once graced some import ant desk in officialdom.
 Whether or not the intent is to bring these same individuals back into the spot light, the fact remains that the public immediately claSsifies the parsonage so described as a former commissioner among the "has-beens". And the effect is just the same as casting this worthy individual into exterior darkness. We always believed that in referring to a former officeholder for political advance ment it was little bit wiser not to dwell too long on the fact that he had been busted from office.
 Of course the list of republican ''outS" in Connecticut is not quite lengthy. If the democrats have any say about it, it will become even longer. But there are only few more names that can be added to it right now as the democrats hold all the state offices, the two U s. senator ships, and four of the six congressional seats. Republican ommissionerships are now at premium. The republicans have the advantage when they stage ball or banquet of being able to offer in per- son or on the program great array of former titles in our state and federal government. We wonder if past offices count heavily in this up-and-coming age.

Farm Girls Clothes

Out of all that nonsense about the 'best-dressed woman in Europe" and in America and the World and the universe, comes at last refreshing bit of real life. At the annual congress of Four H Clubs in Chicago, in a competition of 100000 farm girls, Clarabeth Zehring, a seven- teen-year-old girl from Germantown, Ohio, was adiudged the best dressed farm girl in America.
 Now, of course, this couldn't be proved. Millions of American farm girls were not represented in that contest. But the one sure thing is that Clarabeth in her best clothes was at least as charming an eye full as any other lass within range of vision, and the best thing about it all is the fact that she made all those clothes herself, at total cost of $341 From the published pictures of the winner, we'd confidently match her against all the swell danes in the social register who spend S50,000 year on their duds.
 Among the items are $1 for the belt, also for the gloves, ditto the tie, S395 for the hat and $595 for the shoes. To 6 casual eye one thing looks just as good as another. but give credit to Clarabeth for good sense in spending more on her feet than on her head.

Bad of Zlin

To most Americans, "Bata of Zlin" probably makes no more sense than "Ahkoond of Swat" Bata is the Ford of Czechoslovakia, except that it makes shoes, 320,000 pairs day. Having sat- urated it's European market, it now has the assurance to invade America, and is preparing to establish big factory on a 14O0-acre tract in Maryland. It already has plants in nine other countries.
 The story of this enterprise is one of the romanceS of world industry. Thomas Bata, the founder, going bankrupt in 1904, brought few of his workmen to America and got them all jobs in differ ent shoe factories, then took them back home and started making shoes in the American way The city of Zlin, which he built himself, was named for Lynn, Mass, where he had worked. He went beyond the Lynn system by adopting the Ford plan of giving every workman only one simple thing to do
 His sons, now running the business, have made their shoe empire almost en- tirely Self-sustaining. They do nearly everything connected with the making and shipping of their shoes, operating their own stores, and even giving repair and chiropody service. It will be inter- esting to watch the feathers fly, as these industrial chickens come home to roost and Bata starts selling shoes in Boston.

Sensible Advertiser

The highway billboard is usually looked upon as one of those nuisances which it is beyond the power of the ordinary citi- zen to reach But when the ordinary citi- zen gets up on his hind legs and squawks, he sometimes finds that this isn't so
 Nature Magazine points out that San Francisco milling company had a large sign along a senic section of a California highway. A local garden club wrote to the company asking it to remove the sign, pointing out that it spoiled everyone's en- joyment of the open countryside.
 Not only did the company promise to take down the sign; it agreed to remove all it's rural billboards throughout California. Let advertisers discover that blatant bill boards create ill will instead of good will, and the billboard problem will be well on the way to solution.
