When the Ruler of the Universe has anything to say He piles up the black clouds bigger and blacker than type use and that isn't enough He shoots red light ming through it. Then He does what can't do but what we would like to do-He makes the front page thunder.

poor, she knew that she loved him,
that he would be true and fine all his
life She hadn't been sure of it,
though, until Milly Gooch had flung
the truth at Galloway that night in
the smithy. She had wanted love with
out risk of heartbreak; it looked as If
she would get heartbreak without love.
The morning after the cattle barn
had burned to the ground, every able
bodied man in the village had dropped
his own work to help rebuild. Each
man of the scorched, chastened crew,
who had been able to use his hands,
had tried to do the work of three in
the woods. They had been billeted in
barns. They ought to work their arms
off-hadn't their rioting caused the
damage? That wasn't quite fair; the
truck which Len Galloway and Wal
ter Gerard had dumped at their door
had been the real cause.
The new building had gone up as
quickly as If Radio City engineer
had waved magic wand. In appre-
citation Of the neighborly spirit, Rod
ney Gerard was giving Christmas
eve party to the townspeople. Milly
Gooch would not be among those pres
ent. She had left the Puffers' the day
after the fire.
Although David spent most of each
day where the crew was working, he
never mentioned Rodney Gerard. They
were shutting her out. She would
have loved to help in the preparations
she adored getting ready for par
ties-but:

terrogated the emery wheel, but the
wheel merely threw off spiteful little
shower of pumice in answer.
Her thoughts kept pace with her
foot on the treadle. Would Rodney
Gerard come for the collar? Perhaps
he had forgotten it. What would she
do with it? She would hate like the
dickens to remind him. 1t had proved
expensive. If they were friends as
they had been that day he had ordered
it
Why live over that? 1t only made
her heart ache as If something were
squeezing it unbearably. Why had
she been SO obsessed with the idea
that man of wealth couldn't remain
true to the marriage covenant? The
fact that her brothers wife and her
sisters husband had been philander-
ers was no excuse for misjudging

MEDICAL SOCIETY
HALLS VITAMIN E
AS SEX FACTOR

Vitamin e, whose alphabetical
brothers can make you crave steak
or bring sunshine into your life, soon
may be the means of pre-determining
sex.
The Illinois States Medical society
has announced that the lowly vitam-
In, plentiful in the oily substance of
wheat, appears from 1.-THE most eth
ical laboratory experiments to have
strange powers Of determining
whether an unborn child will be a
boy or a girl.
Research has shown that mother
rats give birth to males and females
in direct ratio to the sparse or over
abundant supply of vitamin e in the
diet, it was explained
apparently hypo-vitaminosls, or
sparse supply, in the case of vitamin
Il tends to produce male offspring
just as hyper-vitaminosis, or an abun-
dant supply, tends to produce fe-
Males" the journal said.
An experiment in England was re-
ported, in which two women unable
to bear children were treated with
the vitamin and each gave birth to
q child.
The society also claimed that re-
search has shown that children born
to mothers treated with the vitamin
are more Intelligent than "those
just born.'
1T seems clear that undoubtedly
the obstetricians, by supplying
vitamin e literally to expectant
mothers, have great opportunity
to enhance the child's capacity for
learning" it was pointed out.

Environment and Mentality

From the writings Of Sir Walter
Scott, J. F. Rogers has CLEANED the
following quotation, "As for mind
and body fancy ! might as well in.
quire whether the fiddle or the fiddle
stick makes the tune" and from this
he takes his title, Fiddle or Fiddle.
Stick" for an article in Hygeia Mag
aZine.
He says in the article, "If group
of school children who are, on theaver-
age, physically and mentally superior
to their fellows are studied as to
their origin, it will be found that, on
the average, they come from homes
where there is more and better food,
better air, more sunshine and more
sources of interest than do their fell
lows. On the other hand, the chill
dren with smaller and more defective
bodies come, on the average, from
homes where the sanitation is rel
atively poor and where they receive
inferior physical and mental atten-
tion."

last piece Of Christmas work. To
morrow would be Christmas.
Christmas! Two weeks since the
fire! She had not seen Rodney Ger
ard. Every moment she could spare
from work outside had been spent at
her bench, and he had not come to the
red brick house. David rarely men
toned him. Why should he come?
What modern man would be interested
in girl who "passed out cold" in an
emergency?
Her face burned. Why, why had
she collapsed-for the second time in
her life-like a mid-Victorian heroine
in crisis, when she might have gone
on helping! Even the fact that she
had forgotten to eat before she started
on her man hunt, that her heart had
stopped when the girder fell, as she
supposed on Rodney, was no excuse.
She extinguished the lamp under the
crucible and glanced at the bay win
dow. Time enough to set the stones
before she dressed for the party.
The party! She opened white
packet and poked the cat's-eyes on the
tissue paper into the order in which
she would use them. How they
glowed! They were like eyes. In
scrutable eyes. Like Rodney's the
night they had met hers over Jim Arm
strong's shoulder. What had he
thought when he saw her clinging to
his friend? Only one thing he could
think after she had told him that she
was engaged to Jim. She had lied to
set an insurmountable wall between
them, and then she had found that no
barrier was needed because, rich or

Few Couples Celebrate
Their "Colden Wedding"

Once in a while we read or hear Of
some couple celebrating their golden
wedding anniversary. Despite the
fact that the American life span has
been extended golden wedding ami
versaries are becoming fewer and far
between. Unless they marry very,
very young, the chance that couple
will live to celebrate the fiftieth we'd
ding anniversary together (the large
lumber of divorces not being con-
sidered) is about one in six. A New
York life insurance company has re-
gently released some interesting sta
sistics on this subject. If a couple Is
married when the bride is eighteen
and the groom twenty-three, they
have one to four chance of surviv-
Ing to their golden wedding day.
When they join up when the bride
Is twenty-five and the groom twenty
Eve, the chances are one to six. And
those marrying after thirty-six, the
figures show, have no right to expect
golden wedding at all, But SO out
Of 100 couples can expect to enjoy
their tenth or tin wedding together,
while TT out Of each thousand cou-
Piles can expect to see and celebrate
their twenty-ffth or silver wedding

It's On The Books

There is no question now but what the elections of 1886 are going to be the focal point of all political interest in the months leading up to that far-away No- vember day. Results in the several city elections in this state on Tuesday clearly indicate that. Two mayors were re- turned to office; one democrat replaced a republican incumbent. The Hartford Times says that Friends of Lieutenant Governor Hayes are sure to interpret the results as favorable to his nomination for governor"
 All of which brings back the oft repeated claim of the Waterbury Demo- crat that Mayor Hayes by virtue of his position as head of our local city govern ment, his splendid showing in the state election of 1884, and his general popu- larity throughout the state is most avail able for the gubernatorial nomination in 1D36. But that Mayor Hayes will attempt to force himself on the convention to be held in i936 as the gubernatorial can didate we sincerely doubt. He did not do 1t in 1884; we know he won't in 1856.
 If he is nominated as the leader of the Connecticut democracy it will be because the party demands that he assume such 6 position. And this in all likelihood will take into consideration any claims that Governor Wilbur L. Cross may manifest towards renominatlon. This fall republi- can orators have been endeavoring to show a decided change of sentiment among voters. It was actually claimed that by 1886 the democrats now in power would be removed and the state re- turned completely once more to z. O. p. domination. The story was far from ac- curate, we believe.
 It may be too far ahead to sound any horns for the 1886 elections, but We feel quite confident that democratic leaders are now prepared to make the supreme effort to not merely retain their hold on this state. but to do the hitherto unheard of. namely, turn the state into the Roose- welt column. That's big order, We real- i2e full well, but there Is no reason why 1t could not be filled. Democrats in 1884 showed what they could do in Connecti- cut. That encouragement, plus the recent manifestations should be suffl- cient to produce more satisfying results year from now.

Dr. William Ashley Sunday

You didn't know him by that name, You knew him only as Billy Sunday. His death brings to mind the many glamor- 0lls events that are intertWlned in that hectic career of the great evangelist Billy Sunday was always good for headlines Perhaps the events of the day had some- what eclipsed his glory, In hard times, such as we have been experiencing, it wasn't an easy task t0 steal the headlines from the New Deal, President Roosevelt, and the many other pertinent topics. But there was a day when many an editor would make over his paper for Billy Sunday.
 There Is no doubt that Billy Sunday made q complete success Of his business, And when he had attained his eQulllb. rum, that business was revival meetings
 He vas the peer of evangellsis There never was anybody to equal him or t0 eufpaGs him, The figures prove it, those who ever saw Sunday in action will bear witness t0 it, And Sunday at one time was headed for mete0rle career on the professional baseball diamond, He had achieved considerable success in the big leagues, Greater glory lay ahead Of him,

Poison Gas Drill

Great Britain now joins the nations whose governments think it wise to in- struct citizens in self-protection against poison gas attacks from the air by some possible enemy. Weekly drills with gas masks are proposed for the 46,0O0, 900 residents of the snug little island. Anti gas attack instructors are to be trained to help other citizens, and special gas squads are planned.
 The government has got out a hand book outlining the peculiarities of cer- tain poison gases and how to treat the victims. Just as we have fire drills, or learn in first aid classes what to do in case of accident, European peoples are now learning what to do in case of a gas attack.
 We'll, if there are to be gas attacks, it is necessary to have people know what to do to lessen their effects. And 1t seems to be a great deal easier at this stage of the game to teach people how to meet a gas attack than to persuade nations not to use the stuff against each other at all.

Fairfield, Conn, fathers have just in- augurated very fine plan in their com munity that could well be copied else where throughout the state. They are financing a schedule of benefits and dam- ages for members of the several high school athletic teams. Tn short if boy, or even girl, is hurt in competition dur ing the course of the school year, the fund set up by the fathers will be ample to take care of any injuries. While some years the fund might not prove adequate to care for all injured players, 1t is be- lieved that it will be sufficient to pay in part for the majority of those that may be incurred in football, basketball, base ball, track, gym classes, etc. What a splendid spirit on the part of the fathers of Fairfield. And yet it could be expected. Every father with boy or girl in high school We think would be glad to do the same.

The steel is for the construc- ton of a PWA bridge at Morehead City, N. 0. Tn accordance with the law, the Public Works Ad- minstration asked for bids on this bridge and also on the TFi- borough bridge in New York. When the bids were opened, Q German firm had bid lower than any American firm.
 American steel plants imme- dlately protested charging ans fair competition. They auh- milted data showing that the Nssis were subsidized by the Hitler government and that they shipped the steel Co the United states as ballast
 The PWA replied that under
