WHY WE'LL HAVE A BATTLE
OVER LIQUOR CONTROL

The Vance county board of COM
missioners boosted number OF bud
get sllotrents for the current fiscal
year and then reduced the tax rate
10 cents, to SO cents on the hundred
dollars The commissioners more
than tripled their contributions TO
the local military companies, count
ed in the debt service on a new
school construction program, and
were liberal with other county needs
yet they were able 70 slash a dime
off the tax rate. Etgeccmbe, on the
same basis, slashed the rate Is cents
to 70 from SO cents on the hundred
dollars.
It is reasonable to suppose that 9TH
er Of the seventeen liquor store coun-
ties will be able to duplicate this &C
ton and maybe improve upon this
reduction. The entire group of coun-
ties show a net profit of around ST.
O00,0 from the 100000 liquor sales
last year.
These facts, in case you haven t
given them study, make certain a
battle over liquor in the 1887 Legis-
lature.
in this new source Of revenue; the
State is likely to seek large share
too.
The seventeen counties with this
new goose laying golden eggs won t
give up any part Of the profits to the
State without a zeal battle. That's a
certainty And so!ons looking about
for needed cash, are likely to furnish
the battle.
There will be suggestions for state
wide control, for referendums in coun
ties wanting liquor stores, for state
wide prohibition, for a continuation
OF the present plan with the State
getting more than the present 3 per-
cent sales tax, an5 others Each
will precipitate a real battle.
Behind the whole thing is the per-
picking question Of revenue. If the
liquor stores produced no income
they wouldn't be wanted anywhere
Their chief appeal, despite arguments
to the contrary is their revenue-pro-
ducing qualities.
That bein ESQ, ore needn't be sur
prised TO see the county-store plan
enlarged by the 1887 Assembly =

Ho,u Skin Eruptions
Of Feet Nav Be Spread

the feet. Then the athlete is more
likely to have the skin of his feet
macerated by soap and water in
the shower bath, and stand or walk
on sloppy floors. And while we all
get more or less used to our own
saprophytes, we may fall an easy
victim to the saprophytes of 9TH
ers and to these, the athlete is par
ticularly exposed.
Not All Eruptions Ringworm
Not all Of the itchy eruptions Of
the skin, however, are Of this ma
ture. Some are due to heat and
sweat gland irritation and some
are nervous in origin. The weep
ing, itchy, cracking skin irrita-
lions between the toes, however,
are almost all of this kind.
It is gratifying to observe how
much we have been able to accom-
Eplish during the last few years in
prevention of this common pest. In
carefully regulated gynnasiums,
where rules are strictly enforced,
| the incidence has been astonish-
ingly reduced. In one college gym
nasium, the director tells me that
whereas five years ago, practically
everybody had some trace of the
trouble all the time, now the erup-
tons are reduced to about 10 per
cent Of the habitues of the gymna-
SUM.
This is accomplished. first, by the
insistence on walking over the
locked room and shower room with
the feet covered by paper shoes.
The inspection of the feet of ell en-
trants and the elimination of those
who have open eruptions until
treatment has been instituted.
The treatment of the eruption in
the early stages, as soon as it ap-
pears, by application of Whit
fields ointment or other antiseptic
lotions is very important. If al
lowed to go on, the organisms go
deeply into the skin layers, and
scratching causes secondary pus
infections to occur, which greatly
complexities the treatment. The
X-ray may have to be used in stub
born cases.
Around swimming pools antisep-
TIC solutions in sawdust boxes or
buckets, in which the feet can be
rlnsed before entering the pool. are
very valuable aids to prevention.

Stop and Look

A railroad man who has seen far too many accidents at railroad crossings writes this interesting comment from the railroading viewpoint: Railroad men are in a class by themselves when 1t comes to realization of the importance of the application of safety first, whether it be in the operation of train or an autono- bile. Many are the railroad men today who are confined to insane asyluns, hos pitals and yes, in their graves, as Q result of shock in accidents or near-accidents at railroad crossings.
 we are constantly being reminded of the vital importance of the application of the slogan 'Stop-Look-and-Listen If the general public were to apply this advice in the driving of their automobiles, no doubt 1t would play large part In the elimination of railroad crossing accidents"
 Doubtless 1t would. And at other crossings as we'll The "listen" part of 1t doesn't seem to apply so we'll to street crossings as railroad crossings, because the automobiles, unlike trains, often sneak up quietly on the unwary driver. But how about a "Stop-and-Look" sign in- stead of @ mere "Stop" at corners where there are no stop-and-go lights9

uuerors. The Turks were the last lust before the World War. General Allenby completely mastered the province in 1918. Then, in 1920, Syria was made So-called Independent state by the Supreme Coun- ell of the Allied Powers. At the same time a mandate over lt was given Go France. The mandatory powers were supposed Go act as trustees for the League of Nations, administering the territories taken from the defeated powers which were considered mot yet able to stand by themselves"
 Administration has become annexa- ton in practice, and some of the man. dated peoples are beginning to ask when they are to be allowed to stand by them. selves. They find that abuses protested against and reported to the League of Nations receive no redress. Promises of self-rule are ignored. Tn Syria the French high commissioner has dismissed the native parliament at his own will. Syrias rebellion against this situation may be suppressed, but the rising tide of native protest against the mandate system and the mandatory rulers will not be stopped.

Reorganize First

Governor Wilbur L. Cross gave some good advice out the other day when he spoke about the railroads of New Eng land. He touched upon the fact that 1t Is really important that the "State's princi. pal transportation agency" be restored Co good favor in the eyes of the public. This means not merely regaining of popular favor among those of us who do considerable travelling, but 1t means, quite obviously, Q different attitude toward the train-riding public.
 Tn the reorganization of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad, which Governor Cross claims should take place before there Is any discussion of questions of amalgamation of New Eng. land roads, we should think that lot of research should be devoted to causes for falling off In railroad travel. Of course everyone realizes that motor transporta- ton has struck what almost amounts to a death-bloW at certain railroads. But surely there Is an economic place for rail. way systems in this part of the nation as elsewhere.
 It might produce some startling results if the average man on the street were if1- terviewed and his reactions to our Con- necticut railroads secured, If earning power is to be restored 1t must be through Q regain in use of trains by commuters, as well as patronage by those who might use train service once month, twice Q month or perhaps less than that. There must be service and comfort both. You'll find complaints about both, If you look for them.
 There's too much money invested in New England railroads to see them disap- pear from view. Governor Cross hes evinced desire to do his part to rebuild their prestige But he has also indi- cated that such aid should follow natural steps by the companies themselves. We think that in laying down such a man. date the governor Is on safe ground and will find himself well supported.

Best News of the Week

The best news of the week we regard as the announcement that work has been started on the school athletic field at the old Driving Park. For Q time there was some doubt in the minds of Q good many people if this project would actually get under way this year as pre- dicted and planned. Now with the actual work started there should be no doubt in anyone's mind about the athletic field being well on its way to completion this year. The preliminary work at the tield will consist in placing mains for drain age. That should not require much time, unless the weather should suddenly change and snow impede progress. Fol. lowing this we presume the real task of leveling off the field and laying out the athletic courses will take place, The construction of an adequate clubhouse Is also an important part of this job. It is one that should be given every con sideration and with particular respect to the future.
 Although city officials were predicting that the field might be ready for use be- fore fall, we would not urge any rush in throwing 1t open to school contests. Ample time should be given so that the utmost care and detail may go into the football gridiron, the baseball diamonds, the running track, and other features that may be planned. We want only the best, nothing makeshift or temporary.
 While the clubhouse might easily be postponed to next year, 1t likewise calls for much attention to detail. In the establishment of an athletic field that will be open to three high schools, as well as grammar schools, not to mention anna teur sports, nothing should be overlooked. Waterbury should do herself proud in this venture. It has been long time coming. We want everyone to be proud of 1t when 1t is finally consummated. And If people are going to be attracted out to the old Driving Park there must be really son1e- thing worthwhile there. Good surround ings makes for better competition In all lines of sport.

We inadvertently stated in recent editorial that operators licenses were renewable as of the end of March. It should have been just one month later, the 30th of April, Thursday. If you drive after midnight, April 30, without renewing your drivers license you will be liable to arrest. The same thing will be true after midnight tonight if you haven't procured new license plates for your automobile That's the deadline for registration, every motorist thus getting two months free operators license was good for two addi- tional months also, as formerly that was always renewable at the end of February. The change will be appreciated by all drivers, we know Any who may have noted the slip on our part in pushing oper- ators' license renewals ahead may appre- eiate this correction.
