common pleas court here by Ed
ward Nordstrom of this city
against the Connecticut company is
ordered set aside in a lengthy de-
cision handed down in the court
today by Judge Ebert B. Hamlin
of Litchfield who presided at the
trial. Judge Hamlin states the jury
evidently disregarded his instruc-

diet on sympathy or prejudice.
Nordstrom was severly injured
about the head when the car he
was driving and trolley car col

and Thomaston avenue early in the

task, involving great engineering feats in highway construction, you can't ex- pect too much for six and one-half mil lions. And the county has been given power to issue as high as $15, ,O0O, 900 in bonds for the road, so everything is safe until the Legislature gets into session again.
 And by the first of the year the federal government, through some stretch of the imagination may have decided to allow the state to borrow funds for construc- ton of the roadway. There seems to be a bit of difficulty now in getting the ear of the right officials, so that the sit uation may be explained clearly and lu- cidly and it's every detail made perfectly understandable. Everyone in this state is in favor of the new roadway, provided it can be built right away and without any more fuss. We've had too much of that already over everything from the type of grass that will grow alongside of it down to whether or not an anticipated car of the 1915 vintage may drive over it's sacrosanct surface.

The WPA Collapse

Perhaps collapse" is not too strong word for it. The big drive to put 3,500,- 900 people to work this fall, getting them off the dole and onto public projects of varying degrees of usefulness, has fallen far short of its aim. The only impressive success has been General Johnson's in New York City.
 It is an open question whether the gov ernment couldn't finish what it started to do in this case, or whether it changed its mind. A logical explanation will prob ably include both reasons. Economic de- velopmentS have been coming fast late ly. Business progress in many lines is beyond expectations of business men and perhaps beyond the governments expec- tations. There are still nearly 10000,000 workers not yet employed by private en- terpriSe, but the government probably hopes for more rapid absorption of it's wards from now on. Moreover, it probably welcomes the opportunity, after all the recent criticism of lavish expenditure, to save billion or two in relief expenditure
 One of the puzzling features of the re- cent situation has been the absence of MesSrs. Ickes and Hopkins, federal relief heads, with the President on his cruise, just when they would have been expected to be on hand for the final employment drive. Some observers are saying that it hasn't been mere junket, but confer ence cruise in which the President and his aids have been revamping the whole federal relief system. If that is the case, the country will soon know about it.

Representative Noah Swayne of Darien, republican, must have been in particu- larly good voice when he told listeners over at New London recently that Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt was the wild man of the White House.. It was per- haps an apt bit of paraphrasing on the part of the Fairfield county legislator, but one that hardly will win an awful amount of support, even from hardened republi- cans. The President, of course, is sub ject to all sorts of abuse in the course of day, but it is safe bet that few people would agree with the Swayne characterization as wild man.. He's far from that.

Progressive" education, which is the scheme behind the several federal col leges now operating in this state, is too much for dear old Bristol. The town won't sponsor one like Waterbury has. Traditional methods of teaching are good enough for the city, say it's authorities in refusing to consider the likelihood of seeking funds for establishment of some thing like our own Mattatuck College. However, a perusal of the facts reveals that actually Bristol had federal educa- tion last year, but believes that a new theory of education pervades the system and hence will cast the whole thing into exterior darkness We don't think many cities will follow the example, because too great an opportunity is provided to ex- pand ones knowledge through this doorway.

Best News In Weeks

We read last week that the state hoped fo complete the final purchase of land along the Merritt Highway right of way very shortly. This was about the best thing that could be announced in, con- nection with this boulevard, except, of course, the actual completion of the road itself. A good many people, we presume, imagined that the route for the new express route had been mapped out and purchased many a long year ago. but Such was not the case.

A Book a Day
Sees New War Fatal Blow to Our Future
By BRUCE CAPTION

If Europe will give America 10 or IS more years of freedom from 8 general war or a new economic collapse, we shall probably be able to reform our economic structure sufficiently to avert disaster. If 1t doesn't, reform will be delayed a full generatiot1-and by that time it won't make much difference wheth- CT we reform or not, because it will be too late.
 This is the pleasant little warn- ing contained in "Our Lords and Masters" by that anonymous writer who calls himself 'the Unofficial Observer"
 Reform 8 generation hence, he says, will be too late, for the simple reason that by that time our de- clining birth rate will definitely have shifted world predominance to the Orient.
 Europe is rushing toward catas- trophe; if we can set our house in order before the deluge, well and god. If not, our descendants will see the world taking orders from Asia.
 It is this authors idea that some 25 men rule the world today. He includes in this list of world d-rulers such statesmen as Roosevelt, Bald win, Hitler. Stalin, and Mussolini; such private citizens as Rockefeller, Morgan, Schacht, Deterding, and Norman; spiritual leaders such as Pope Plus xT and Gandhi; and mili- tatrists like Voroshiloy and Blom- berg. x
 So, in this book he sets out to examine all of them, and the na- tions and forces which they repre- sent. His book is stimulating, but 1t is weakened by his fondness for saying things in a striking way which. if am any judge, leads him into many woeflil inaccuracies. How ever, you'l lind it interesting, even if you will need to keep a salt shaker handy.

4 Fish Farm
Federal, State Study of Project Near Rockaway Is Urged Would Promote New York as
 Deep Sea Fishing Port
NEW YORK SUN

I a time when inland fishermen have begun to discover what New York really offers in facilities for off, shore angling, it will be necessary to, look to the future supply of fish It is natural that those whose liveli- hood depends upon fishing should be ardent supporters of such a | scheme.
 Sanctuary is a misnomer, since fishing, even in some commercial forms. would be permitted in the twenty-odd square miles off Rock away = 8 section extending from the Point to Arverne and three to four miles out into the ocean It is proposed to sink old ves-
 sells or erect subterranean rock piles SO as to provide protected spawning areas, with plenty of marine growth for fish food, in place of shifting sands which now are difficult as haunts for any but migrating fish. If it should be found impracticable, because of War Department objections tu navigational Instructions or for other reasons. to utilize the area under discussion, the scheme doubt less could be worked out in some other way.
 New Jerseys experiment at Wild wood, where such a fish farm al- ready has contributed much to the improvement of angling along the Jersey coast, indicates the bene- fit New York might expect from a like propect. The cost would be small, for moldering hulks of old vessels are plentiful, rocks and powders may be had cheaply, the fishing associations and boatmen gladly would help in the planting.
