held County State Hospital in Newtown; ,; and the new school for the Predetermined in Iitchfield or New Haven county. All are projects involving expenditure of mil lions of dollars. It has been claimed that since the state legislators set up no agency to handle any appropriations coming to the state from the federal government for such purposes as above, it could not legally count on grants and loans.
 Now Senator Daly, whose appointment as works administrator was announced over the weekend in a surprise move by Federal Administrator Harry l.. Hopkins, declares that he will exert efforts to if1- clude the three projects in the approved list. Already awaiting the sanction of the authorities at Washington are the Merritt Highway and the new highway bridge across the Connecticut River from Middletown to Portland. The first is $15,000,000 job, the latter $3,5OO,OOO.
 For the three state buildings mentioned above the state will need at least $5,56O,- 900. Only $150,000 is available for any of them, the new home for the feeble minded having received this amount in an appropriation calculated to take care of purchase of site and necessary de- tails carried on by the commission, which dS yOL tIG SOtCIIIOI 10O AlOC AAulAAOus A. Senator Daly can do all he says he intends to do, the state will be indebted to him, as neglect of this institutional work will prove expensive.
 J. Howard Mackenzie is given good chance of retaining his position as assist ant superintendent of the Capitol despite the fact that the present superintendent is democrat and MT. Mackenzie a re- publican. The reason is that J. Howard IS brother of Harry E. Mackenzie, Fairfield county republican leader. Harry w. also possesses probably the best patronage record in this little old state of ours. He has held more positions under both demo- crats and republicans than any other one man in Connecticut He has gone from appointive job to appointive job, some times under state government, often un- der federal. Phenomenal luck and ability to remain on top have always character ized Harry E. Mackenzie. There is no reason to believe the same streak of good fortune won't affect the brother.

One thing that should be done before July 4th when the city officially opens it's part in the state tercentenary is bit of sand-blasting on the Carrie Welton me- morial fountain. It ought to be cleaned up a bit to match the revamped Soldiers monument at the other end of the Green. And with the celebration coming on and more tourists passing through the town every day now is certainly the time to have the job done.

When the War Department decided to get rid of few horses this spring, it got bit sentimental. A farm boy out ill South Dakota asked for two artillery horses who had seen good service and were to be retired, so the army needed the plea and shipped the horses to South Dakota, where they probably are getting the best of treatment at the hands of their youth full owner. But that started all sorts of heart-stirring And the army learned just how many people still prefer the horse to the motor

There is some doubt now at Washing ton if our national legislators will look kindly at the states claim for payment of loan made to the federal government during the War of 1872. One committee member down there is alleged to have stated, "You are not going to get any such legislation through the House." No doubt if his own state was involved 1t would make all the difference in the world.

 WASHINGTON, July - Six Am erican explorers are risking their lives to fill the blank spaces of the geography books in "the last utterly unexplored region in North Amer ica."

 By another operation the roots of some nerves can be severed, but such an operation is seldom resorted to because, while it relieves pain, it also interferes with movement.

Airplane Flights

Before leaving the outposts of civil lization for the unknown mountain region, Washburn and several other members of the party made several flights over the region by airplane. They found. three unrecorded gla- ciers and discovered that Hubbard glacier was double it's previously recorded length.
 "The number of unknown glaciers and peaks which we have seen and photographed on our first two flights is almost inconceivable," Washburn wrote. These mountains represent the last stronghold of the Great Ice Age on the North American contin- ent; and I believe that we are suc- cessfully obtaining photographic record of peaks and glaciers whose immense size and number have nev- CT been dreamed of by the early eX- plorers of the Yukon"

Reed President
Considers PAY
For GridderS

PORTLAND, Ore. Dec. 10.
Claiming that colleges in general
have agreed. openly or in secret,
that the football laborer is
worthy of his hire, DR.. Dexter
Merriam Keezer, president Of
Reed College, asked today:
How much should college foot
ball players be paid?"
The question presents problem
new in football research, DR..
Keezer claims, and overshadoWS
the much-disputed issue as to
whether football players should
be paid at all.
A statement by Prof. George
Owen, sr., of Massachusetts, In
stitute of Technology, branding
football as a major racket, "
prompted DR.. Keezer'S comment.
For all practical purposes, al
most all intercollegiate football
stars are being paid now. That
is certainly true of the major col
leges Of the Pacific Coast. So
far as have been able to de-
termine, that fact generally is
taken for granted and I certainly
am not worrying about it," DR..
KeeZer said.
