Don't Be Too Sure

Republican propaganda IS being turned out by the bushel lots these days. The average man would be surprised at the number of organizations and agencies that are lending their efforts, time, and money to support of the republican pres. idential ticket and to the overthrow of the Roosevelt administration. Some Of these agencies are the very same ones, too, that were loudest in denouncing their own party four years ago for It's apathy in the face of distress and disaster. They were the ones who hailed Roosevelt and his earnest efforts to stem the tide of mis- fortune. Now that 1t has been turned back, they disown him.
 Not necessarily included in this cate gory, but nevertheless very definitely de- cided upon campaign of Roosevelt op- position is the Connecticut Economic Council It has just issued in It's Fort night Letter an attack on the Passana- quoddy Bay tidal-harnessing project. It pictures part of the government opera tions up there and terms the whole thing a white elephant. It's too early to make any such characterization of the great project started up there in northeastern Maine, particularly so in view of Presi- dent RooseVelt'S definite assurance last week that the job would be finished.
 But terming 1t white elephant recall. ed to us the more famous white elephant of republican days, Muscle Shoals. While democrats perhaps, cannot lay full claim to rescuing this project on the Tennessee river from the limbo of derelict public endeavors, at least they collaborated more successfully with such legislators as Sen ator George w. Norris who labored for years to do something about Muscle Shoals It was living monument to the lack of initiative on the part of the re- publican party, also desire not to at- tempt a project which might nibble at the citadels of the entrenched money-lend- CTS. No party has any corner on white elephants.

The Battle Is On

Democrats of Connecticut will return to Eastern Point, Groton, for the conven" ton at which a state ticket will be select. ed. The party thus runs true to form and all indications are that Governor Wilbur L. Cross will be splendidly renominated to lead the party to victory for his fourth consecutive term. We expressed a hope last week that the convention might be brought to Hartford this year, the capital city being more nearly in the center ot the state and thus readily available from all points. However, we presume the ac' tuaI job of nominating slate can be accomplished just as well and easily Tn 0rotop as in Hartford.
 So far as the makeup of the ticket IS concerned there does not remain much to be done between now and September 9, when the convention opens. A Wir1- ming combination was provided two years ago and the entire ticket was swept into office. All, save Attorney General Edward Daly, must seek renomination again this fall, His term lasts two more years. We doubt very much If the present slate will be disturbed, although there have been reports that 1t would. Much depended, of course, on Governor Cross attitude. If he is renominated, we presume all will If he retires, there will be an opportunity for many changes.
 In the interim elapsing up to conven- ton time democrats have much to do There is no reason to believe that the ground gained in the off-year elections of 1884 has been lost by events of the past two years. On the basis of accomplish nSent and present-day conditions the democrats should be as strongly erl. trenched in Connecticut, as well as else- where. But 1t will not be well to accept as a foregone conclusion the fact that Con- necticut will go democratic this fall. That result must be attained by hard work. This, we know, the party leaders under stand and will endeavor to prove by their actions in pre-convention campaigning.

Unbalanced Rainfall

An American in France writes: Tt has been raining for three weeks in Paris. It is the wettest, coldest summer for years. Tn Germany and Italy everybody was com blaming of the endless rain and the ur1' seasonable lowness of the temperature. In more than fifteen summers in Europe l do not remember so persistent period of chill and rain"
 From Turkey comes the curious news that bees have become nnan-killers be- cause of too much rain. "Maddened by heavy summer rains, which are falling almost without a break" reads 8 Reuters dispatch, "bees have attcked and Killed several human beings" Too much rain in much of Europe. Too little rain in much of America Both probably have the sunspots to thank for their plight. Perhaps humanity would not go to such fanatical extremes of action If the weather were somehow stabilized.

Wheeling chopped all the "dead wood" out of city departments, set up Q better system of tax collection, and gave the handling of ali city supplies to a central purchasing agency under new city man. ager government.
 Youngstown, Ohio, is another rapidly reviving center. The busy steel industry has helped there. The banking situation is Q factor. Youngstown's banks went through their crisis more than a year ahead of the rest of the country and were already on sound footing when the national bank holiday came.
 There are other happily recovered communities, and there will be more. In time this should mean strengthening out relief troubles, less dependence on federal assistance, and so on. It ought also to mean = but this is expecting good deal - better planning to avoid future disas' ters, financial, economic and social.

Cities Marching On

A parade of cities through the news columns tells a cheerful recovery story. These are cities which were supposed to be pretty thoroughly licked by the de- pression. Their best days were in the past. Then they began to revive. Detroit, Michigan, Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio, were among the first of these. Their bus inesS revived. They set their civic houses fin order. They solved some of their tax problems.
 Others joined the procession. Wheeling, W. Va, boasts that common sense gov rnment" has got it "out of the red" for me first time in thirteen years. Today t wen has a surplus of $70.22 cents instead of the deficit of $106,260 of a year ago.

There was 6 gala time in Chicoteague, Va, last week. The annual pony-penning day was held. Wild ponies from the island of Assateague were driven ashore in great numbers and auctioned off, as they have been now for many long year. The oldest inhabitant of this fishing vil- lage can recall these pony auctions as far back as memory goes. In fact 1t IS be. lleved that the ponies came to the island in the days when Spanish galleons roarn- ed the seas and one was wrecked nearby and the horses swan ashore. Anyway they are still there and annually roundup takes place.

Governor Wilbur L. Cross speaking at the American Legion convention in New Britain last week served notice that he would put up fight to prevent this state from attempting to pass a compulsory "salute the flag" law. He was pretty out spoken in his condemnation of the Massa- chusetts law, much debated and discuss ed, which demands of 8 school teacher an oath of allegiance to defend the Con- stitution. As Governor Cross puts 1t why should any special group be picked out to take an oath of allegiance, which the members have taken as individual voters. He mentioned the fight that is always waged over freedom of the press. Why should tecaher be shackled or placed under suspicion and be forced to take an oath, when there are other groups free to express their own opinions and to go their own ways. As former teach. CT the governor showed his feelings pretty strongly on the subject.

GaSSing The Beetles Seems Only Sure Way of Killing Off Destructive Pests - Effect On Food Is
 hYnk ..1
Not Harmful
NEW YORK SUN

When Japanese beetles are gath- cred, crated and shipped with rasp. berries, blueberrieg or black berries, which frequently happens, the prob- lem B to stop the beetles from spreading to other areas. The quar. antinc established few years ago in New Jersey was effective, but in- Spection of fresh berries was injuri- otS to the fruit and slow and la- boriouS. Ordinary sprays used in the berry fields were not effective against beetles. Fumigation of the berries was tried and after several experi- rnents a1 efficient method was dc. vcloped to kill aiI beetles without in. jury to packed fruit.
 Two entomologiSH of the divis sion of Japancge and Asiatic beetle inVegtigationS of tthe Bureau Of Entomology and Plant Quarantine describe the results of fuinugation in . pamphlet issued by the Dc. partinent of Agriculture. Several fumigating chemicals were tested at different temperatures, at room pressure and under partial vacuum. Carbon disulphide was finally choB- en aS the most effective; 1t B cola tile, and highly inflammable, but when properly applied does not ifll- pair the cdibility of foodStuffB. Tn the tests c fumigation house was used; beetles were treated both in cages and in baskets Of fruit.
 4 difficulty in tho tests was that Japanegc beetles often feign death when disturbed. The experiment. CTS infested boxes of berries with beetles and inclosed the boxes in mogquito netting to prevent the pests from crawling out Tine box es were placed in the fumigation room for vared periods at different temperatures. At the end Of twenty" four and forty-eight hours after fumigation the treated beetles were examined to determine the number that were normal, ill or dead, The same number of untreated beetles was held in the same manner as q check. When the treated beetles were placed in warm water those still alive could be distinguished by their movements. It was found that the presence Of fruit did not retard the fumigation, though the com. pactnesS of different kinds Of fruit

A Book a Day
Crossing the Ocean in Q 54.Foot Boat
 RY BRUCE CAPTION

The great day of the sailing ship may have passed, but the amateur yachtsman these days is carrying on the old traditions. Tn tiny boats no bigger than tho queen Mary's iifeboaY he b making long voyages and daring all the dangers Of the Bea; and the record of his adven- lures makes uncommonly good Tead- ing.
 4 good sample of this sort of thing is contained in Southern Crossing" by Philip Rigg (Dutton: S2.60).
 With two other young Americans, MT. Rigg went to Athens, Greece, to bring back to tho United States c B4-foot kctch recently bought by an American yachtsman.
 En route they encountered . col. llsion, gales, leaks, and a harass. ing shortage of cash. But they made the trip in safety, delivered their craft at Miami, Fla, after a B0-day crossing of the Atlantic, and had Q stirring and adventurous good time during 1t all.
 Their troubles began before they left Greece, when another vessel rammcd them at the mouth of the Gulf of Corinth and knocked down theIr mizzenmaSt.
 Refitted they resumed the voy- age and ran Into violent gales all the way to Gibraltar. There they had to lay tip for more than Q month to rcpaI: more damage. Then, finally, they sailed out into the broad Atlantic.
 The Atlantic was more kindly. The trade winds blew steadily, the hurrican season ended before they reached the Caribbean, and, aside from the fact that 6 gun-Smuggler nearly ran them down of the coast of Africa, they finished the voyage without incident.
 They had, apparently, . marvel oIisly good time, and MT. Rigg man. ages to communicate their feeling of high adventure to the reader.
