colorist, but whatever he does evil
dences that sense of beauty and fitness
inherent in all art that is fine. He is
an excellent craftsman, but even more
than this he knows what to stress and
what to omit In his compositions. His
drawings are exquisite. He is one of
those whose chief object is invariably
to satisfy not only himself, but an
ideal, to achieve that which is fine
regardless of what others may think,
or popular taste demand. Up to the
present time he has apparently been
little affected by current extravagances
or trends. In fact, rather than Sacri-
fce his ideals he has in recent years
earned livelihood through work in a
mechanical field.
Miss Giffen is Baltimorean, an out

well known in this city. She has ex-

A Thought for Today
$15o,O ,OOo To Spend

The Legislature has appropriated $15O,- 900 for the work of the commission that will select a site and authorize construc- tion of new home for the feeble-minded. The opinion seems to be that the lnstitu-' tion will be erected in either Litchfield or New Haven counties with Waterbury be- ing the nearest large city. Unfortunately expenditure of this fairly large sum will probably end all activity so far as new institution is concerned as funds for the proposed new training school and hospital were not included in biennium appropria- tions.
 For that matter no appropriations were made for any institutional Improvements. At least in this one respect the Legisla- ture showed consideration for economy. This is a type of economy, though, that merely imposes a heavier burden on the future. It is the type that was practlced seven or eight years ago when the state might we'll have done many of the things circumstances forced it to slide over this year. We refer to institutional expansion in Connecticut It is no secret that our state hospitals are vitally concerned.
 We must bring to it's fullest efficiency the new hospital at Newtown. This can only be done by addition of at least two more 0UU-DeQ uHlCS. IHe HOSpltdl eC Middletown was subjected to legislative scrutiny this spring and found as wanting as it's trustees and superintendent de- clared it to be as long ago as 1884 and even prior to that time. The waiting list at the Predetermined home in Mansfield brought direct request for aid from Gov ernor Cross in his inaugural. But in the face of even more pressing demands from cities and towns for relief naturally we do not wonder at the impotence of the As- sembly in institutional matters.
 However, some start has been made for a new feeble-minded home. It is not too much to hope that two years hence the commission will be ready to proceed as rapidly as funds then available will allow. We are now warned that no federal aid can be furnished in such projects due to failure of the Legislature to take proper action in setting up an agency to handle such funds as might be sent into the state. We should think that such work could be handled by the State Planning Board, which surely would not object to broaden ing of the scope of its work if it meant saving millions of dollars for the taxpayers of the state.

Risk Death To. Scale A Frozen Mountain
BY BRUCE CATION

One of the hardest sports for 9 stay-at- home to understand is the sport of climbing high mountains. It can be terribly dangerous, and 1t invariably gives its devotee an awful hammering; and when you do get to the top of a mountain there is no place to go but back down again.
 But there seems to be a great fascination to it; somehow men do find something, high up on those frozen, knife-edged peaks about the clouds. that repays them for all the danger and pain of the long climb.
 At any rate, the record of an other great climb is now available in "Men Against the Clouds" by Richard L. Burdsall and Arthur B. Emmons III; and 1t. like other books of it's kind, leaves one ad- miring the gay courage of the luOuutalu cllmDcr anu oPCCAAHttrel wistfully, about what 1t is that makes the game worth. the candle.
 This book tells how four young Americans went to Tibet a few years ago to climb Minya Konka, an almost inaccessible peak some 25,o00 feet high.
 The job seems to havee been a terrific one. Even to get to the foot of the mountain was hard and wearying; getting to the top was both of those things and excruciat- ingly dangerous as well.
 One of the lads froze both feet and narrowly escaped having to have them amputated. But they did. at fast. get to the top. .i
 The book is admirably written and contains some amazingly beau- tiful protopraph. Looking at these photos of remote, unearthIy beauty does, after an. help ono to under stand why men climb bmountains. Published by Herpors, the book sells for t5.Bo.

Italy's Own Problem"

Fifty thousand more Italian soldiers are about to depart for Africa, according to dispatches from Rome. Mussolini has ordered their mobilization in connection with the Abyssinian dust-up; and the dis patches explain that, while he isn't ex- actly hunting for trouble, he wants to show Europe that Italy can solve it's own problems without the aid of the League of Nations or anybody else.
 This is praiseworthy bit of individual self-reliance, no doubt, and should be ac- cepted gratefully in world where self reliance is becoming rare virtue. And yet this business of solving your own problems, in the field of international re- lations, is not quite as simple as it may seem - for the excellent reason that when you set out to solve your problems you are very apt to raise new set of problems for somebody else to solve.
 It is not hard to find illustrative exam ples from history. For many years prior to 1914, the Serbian question" was one of the most weighty problems confronting the government of Austria Hungary. We can understand it best by pretending that California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas were almost solidly populated by Mexicans; that these Mexicans all wanted to get back under the Mexican flag; and that the Mexican government connived with them in a campaign of ter rorism by which American governors in these states were assassinated and Amer jean buildings were bombed.
 Such situation would seem unendur- able to us; and that is precisely the way an exactly similar situation seemed to the government of Austria Hungary in 1914, 50 that, when the Archduke Franz-Ferdi- nand was killed, the government antici- pated Mussofini's program and set out to solve its own problems without any out side assistance. We'll, there is not much use going into details about what hap uened next. For Austria Hungary to solve her Serbian problem meant the creation of new problem for Russia; for Russia f6 solve that gave Germany a problem; 111d after few similar progressions, the whole world found itself with a series of >1iEr'1tirinH problems which resulted in <.,e 6c1Ih of some millions of men.

Moscow Letter

Moscow .(UP)-The worlds greatest treasure, house of gold, the Lena fields in Siberia, despite 100 years of exploitation, still con- tain as much of the yellow metal as has been mined from 1t, a Soviet analysis has revealed.
 Powerful electric dredges now are digging from the Lena fields thousands of ounces of gold each year. The exact production there is state secret, but 1t is known to be in excess of the pre-revolu- tionary yield. about IS tons am nually.
 The output of the Lena fields is one of the main sources for building up the Soviet gold reserve now estimated at around 1,000,- 000,00 gold roubles, or sufficient to stabilize the national currency whenever the Soviet government considers that desirable.
 For many years during the Czar- ist regime the Lena fields were worked by crue, ancient meth ods. Thousands of exiles and con- victs were employed in the mines. After the revolution, foreign company was given a concession to exploit the. Lena region.
 In 1890 the Soviet government began mining operations, introduc- ing powerful electric dredges and modern methods of mining.
 According to recent official esti- mate. some 750 tons of gold have been taken from the Lena fields during the last 10 years and an equal amount still remains to be mined.

 are, moreover, wholly benign, though their ultimate source is malignant; they may be applied
 through the mouth and their ac- ton is painless and swift.
