Gratifed With Results.
Interviewed at his Office, DR.. Will
son Compton, secretary and manager
OF the National Lumber Manufac-
turers' Association. expressed himself
as gratifled with the results. These
small houses" he said, have been
built within the price limits set in
the F. H. A. publications and our
demonstration shows that even in
the high-cost area of Washington
houses that are truly low cost can be
built.
"All steps Of construction and
financing have followed regular build
ing routine. There have been nc
donations of materials or services
and no special prices. Results show
that single houses of standard lum-
ber frame construction, properly de-
signed, can be built at as low a cost
as those which have been forecast
but generally not realized in plans
for standardized mass production
houses"
Utilities Provided.
Details of special interest to the
public are: The low cost of the
houses. the high quality and good
appearance Of the finished structures
and the fact that each house has all
public service utilities-gas, electricity
water-sewerage and complete base
ment and heating plant.
Costs may be expected to vary
slightly in proportion to the cubic
foot building costs in various sections
Of the country. But it is now possible,
according to lumber industry officials,
for men and women of the United
States to have private homes in which
conditions of fresh air, sanitation,
comforts and conveniences are as
sured, at prices which average no
more than $3.50 down and $25 per
month to carry, including gradual re-
tirement Of principal.

A La Astaire

The agility with which the republican candidate for governor in this state can get from one foot to the other is only comparable to the nimbleneSS with which Fred AStaire of stage and screen fame picks up and lays down his highly educated feet. States Attorney Arthur Brown is talking fast and furiously these days in an effort to outalk every other candidate in the field. Nothing is said or uttered by anybody but what this gen. tleman does not bounce on it and pro- ceed to twist it into campaign ammuni- tion for himself. But he is proving him. self not quite so smart when he gets his state and national issues all twisted together.
 He engaged Governor Wilbur L. Cross in dispute over the advocacy of the guber- material veto question. Governor Cross for years has urged the Legislature to make it necessary for two-thirds vote of both houses of the Assembly to over- ride the governors veto. Now the law says majority is sufficient. But, ac- cording to States Attorney Brown, that's all wrong and our Legislature should be protected against the encroachment of gubernatorial rights so that we won't have a one-man government in Connectl- cut The person who is up on his state government will smile at this, for Con- necticut's governor is one of the few whose powers are limited very closely by legislative control.
 But that isn't all When Candidate Brown starts talking about national issues; nohting comes quicker to his tongue than the good old Constitution. Of course, that's g.o.p. watch-word this fall. But what does the good old Consti- tuition say about vetoes. It says two- thirds of both houses of Congress must override the presidential veto. Governor Cross pointed that out. And if you made a study of most state governments where the bicameral legislative system exists you'll find two-thirds, not majorities, de- the federal constitution, say our republi- can brethren, but let Connecticut keep her own anticipated statutes, too. The logic is delightfully."- naive.

Need No Defense

Speaking in Hartford recently Motor Vehicle Commissioner Michael A. Connor defended the Semi-annual motor vehicle tests. There really is no defense needed for them. Practically every driver will agree with the commissioner on this score. The tests are needed to keep cars off the road that should not be driven in the condition they are maintained. We imagine that since the tests started last year a great many "wreckS" were ruled off the road In addition many cars whose owners were relying on their own ability more than the cars capacity have been put in better condition.
 The reports of the several inspections prove this. AS result of the first inSpec- tion it was found that 55 per cent of the cars were faulty in some respect. After the second test there were only S7 per cent faulty. To date in the present test ing period the ratio is only 25 per cent faulty. This certainly shows that there is sound foundation for the examination of cars. It also proves that faulty mechanism is too often the cause of acci- dents. The driver may not know of these conditions in his car or may refuse to admit them, but the tests will bring them out and definitely eliminate them.
 Now the next thing for the department to do is to rule off the roads the incom- petent drivers. Massachusetts is trying this out and while it has in some cases worked not so well, as a general rule it has been ok. We are coming to that, too. Everybody who operates car on the highways will have to know the rules and regulations, plus a few other points of information, as well as show a nice mental balance calculated to come to the fore in the, many perplexing problems that modern-day traffic offers. The ssbeefs" that followed the motor car tests will be nothing to the yellS from drivers at this, but we have it coming to us by our highway actions.

 q am in the cooperative movement because l believe that consumers cooper ation can help greatly in the solution of the problem of distribution. If organized business had grasped this problem and had seriously undertaken to solve it, it would never have occurred to me to join the movement. But business muffed it's opportunity because of traditional think ing. Organized business failed to see that the time had come when its only chance for continued prosperity lay in distribut- ing prosperity among the whole Ameri- can people"
 He doesn't mean, he says, that cooper ativeS must take over the factories, or even most of the distribution, but he does mean that distribution must be simpli- fled. There is obviously strong ten- dency in that direction. But MT. Filene's gospel will hardly be popular among his fellow-merchantS

Few Tubercular Cows

The Bureau of Animal Industry reports that in August of this year all but 147 countries in the United States were on the modified-accredited list as practically free of cattle tuberculosis. This means that in most of the country infection was less than half of per cent.
 During the 12-month period ending July 31, about 23,00O,000 tuberculin tests were made on cattle. Each month additional counties were put on the list. In many counties and some whole states the disease is entirely wiped out. It is necessary, however, to re-test at regular intervals because infection may reappear in formerly free areas or herds.
 Human beings may be infected with tuberculosis by milk from infected cattle. Fighting the disease in cattle is one way of preventing it in people. The germ of cattle tuberculosis was found in 1882. The tuberculin for testing cattle was first used in 1890 and the method was greatly improved in 1926. The program of systematic eradication, begun by the De- partment of Agriculture in 1917, has advanced steadily since that time with the cooperation of all concerned - cattle owners, state livestock officials and others.

This business of ringing the fire alarm just for the thrill or excitement of it ought to provoke an instant response from the authorities or parents. If the culprit SO happens to be a youngster with little or no realization of the damage he might be doing or how much it costs the city in which he lives every time fire apparatus respond to box alarm he should be read lecture by the proper officials and then taken in hand by his parents where the corporal punishment may be admin istered. If on the other hand the of- fender is grown youth who is fully conscious of his action, he should be ex- amined to see if he is mentally ok. Oftentimes youngsters develop a mania for this type of fun, which, if not turned into the proper channel, will lead to more disastrous pranks in later life. It's an expensive piece of fun and how many times have we read about fire engines being in accidents going to or returning from false alarms. The person who sends in false alarm shoulders tremendous responsibility.

defeat its ally the church-went with it.
 The law of the U. s. s. R. has established equality of churches of all religions. Churches are per- mitted to function freely, but are required to confine their activity to religious matters only. Churches are free to conduct public worship, to perform religious rights in accor- dance with the ritual of their re- spective religions.
 Believers are not discriminated against by the state in any manner whatsoever. Believers exercise all the rights of citizenship and may be elected to public office.
 No religious instruction is given to children in schools. However, parents are not forbidden to teach religion to their children at home. Religious instruction is permitted to people IS years of age in special religious institutions.
 The churches do not get state or municipal subsidy but are permitted the use of church buildings free of rent and are required to pay taxes only. No church can be closed against the wishes of the colnmuni- ty. Church buildings may be con- verted into other public use only upon a vote of an overwhelming majority of the community itself, or where no group of people is will ing to maintain the building as 8 church.
 Freedom of conscience in the Soviet Union includes freedom for the irreligious to practice, to propa- gandize atheism. There is a power full atheist movement in the U. S. s. R. with a very large membership, especially among the younger gen. eration. The atheists carry on a very active anti-religious, pro-sci- ence campaign.
 Although the majority of the leadership and the greatest portion of public opinion in the Soviet Un- ion favors atheism, they depend for Its progress upon scientific and moral persuasion and strictly guard freedom of conscience for all.
 Today many earnest christians realize that the road to a society such as they hope for is 8 road of struggle hand in hand with all workers. Communists welcome every act of christian men and women against oppression, exploitation. terrorism, fascism and war. They seek to fight Loyalty side by side with them in every battle against reaction.
 For religious workers, the Com munist Party does not make the abandonment of their religion a condition of joining the party, even though it carries on educational work which is anti-religious.
 This is the true position of Com munists. All else is vulgar distor- tion and the islander of unscrupu- lous reactionaries who make of re- ligion the moral backbone of a sys- tenn of exploitation which they are determined to preserve at all costs.

Waterbury will no doubt open it's hearts and it's purse-strings to the appeal of the Waterbury Girl Scouts who are going it on their own for the first time. Next Monday night their campaign for funds with which to conduct their own activities inde- pendently of the Boy Scouts will be launched. We feel sure and confident that the desired quota will be easily and quickly obtained. However, we urge upon everyone the need of getting behind this drive for funds and making it possi- ble to carry on Girl Scout work in Water bury. Scouting has always been popular here; it's results are seen today. Let's keep it moving along smoothly.

Autumn is here all right. State For ester Austin F. Hawes has ordered all the fire lookout towers in the state manned. There will be constant watch kept from these 19 towers now until danger of forest fires has ceased. That won't be until real winter is in our midst. We hope that this isn't going to be disastrous season in the woods. We'd like to see one fall or spring pass without reading of heavy damages from woodland fires.

 The Reason Why
 But a factor powerfully aid-- ing the President is the big up- turn in business in every part of Indiana.
 Relief rolls dropped 59 per cent during September as compared with the same month in 1885. Payrolls increased 23.1 per cent, employment 15.2 per cent, gaso- line tax collections totaled g.. 115,148 against $1,996.047 for Sep- tember, 1035. Indiana is thrtv. ing and buoyant and the repub- ncans can't laugh it off.
 Roosevelt carried the state by l80,O0O in 1882. He can't do that this year. But despite McNutt and the traditional republicanism of Indiana, unquestionably he has the edge.
 Also important is the negro population, which stilI remembers the republicans were connected intimately with the Klan 8 few years ago. In the old days it was this negro vote that gave the re" publicans their margin in Inc diana.
 They don't have that margin now-AND TT MAY COST LAIN. DON THE STATE.
 Courageous Man
 Whatever else they may charge against Governor McNutt, none of his foes has ever accused him of lacking courage. He has plenty of that.
 In the 1884 campaign he was warned to stay away from Ko- komo. He was told that labor was 'laying for him" and that if he appeared he might be at- tackled. McNutt scheduled c meeting in Kokomo and, without an escort, faced Q hoottng, how'll ing crowd. :.
 In 15 minutes he had that crowd applauding him. He pulled no punches, stuck by his policies. In the middle of his speech & heckler demanded: How do you stand on the Townsend Planr
 'T'm against it," McNutt flashed back.
 'Why?"
 'T'lI tell you why. I'm against any plan that won't work and the Townsend Plan won't work"
 Merry GO-ROund
 McNutt is reported to have his ambitious eye on the cabinet post made vacant by the death Of Secretary of War Dern. He ia also being accused by foes Of being after the presidency of the University of Indiana, which pays $12,O00 a year Raymond 8. springer, g. o. p. candidate for governor, is making his major issue the fact that B. Clifford Townsend, his democratic oppon- ent, is the handpicked choice Of McNutt and if elected would ap- point the latter to the university post. Indianapolis has one of the most modern and well laid airports in the country. It has a mile long runway, and there are no tall buildings or towers in the vicinity.

Selected Poem
THE PARABLE OF RAIN

(w P. M. in the Christian Science Monitor) He sends His rain with equable design;
 The precious drops fall on the widows field,
 They make the selfish baron's acres yield On good and evil Providence benign Bestows the blessing of the sun to shine
 That watered earth, its fertile wealth unsealed. Enrich the poor, till hunger has been healed. So ending wars contesting mine and thine. Man is to show benefcence like rain, Be liberal like God, not craving gain:
 "Be therefore perfect" are our Masters words. The Power divine, that heals man of his pain,
 Makes endless flowing rivers for the heards,
 And water-pools in deserts for the birds.
