That the police are in earnest in check ing up on erring motorists can be seen in the increasing number of dollars that are being rung up on the headquarters cash register. To their previous activ- ities has now been added that of stopping drivers of cars with defective headlights. It should pay at this rate to get your car inspected by the State Motor Vehicle De- partment aides up on Thomaston Ave- nue. Their once-over includes all lights. The local police are making determined effort to get rid of one-light drivers, as well as warn motorists whose cars display lights that are noticeably glary or too dim. If enforcement of the laws counts for anything in a short time Waterbury ought to be going places so far as acci- dent prevention is concerned And once you're tagged these days, you stay tagged.

the meeting on the Green can tes- tify. On the contrary, all the speakers stressed the extreme need of solidifying the toiling masses in the struggle against the threatening dangers of war and fasciSm.
 The Communist Party and the Socialist Party arc on the fricndli- est terms than they have been for many years. Communists and So- cialists all over the world arc draw ing closer and closer.
 In France and Spain and in other countries they are participating in important joint political action. In this country the two parties have often acted jointly on many issues.
 Tn reference to May day we wish to quote Norman Thomas: "We must have the maximum unity on May day without regard to political differences"
 In New York, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and other cities, Socialists and Communists marched shoulder to shoulder with their leaders speaking from the same platform. Together with the leaders and workers of the American Federation of Labor In those cities they paved the way for the unity of the work ing class of America.
 The fact that this years May day celebrations were of such tremen- dous and inspiring proportions was undoubtedly because these two great working class parties were able to come together for the flrSt time in many years. ~
 This is one of series of successive steps which Communists and So- cialists sincerely hope will lead to tho eventual organic unity Of the two parties.
 Ali this completely refutes and explains the why of the versions as carried by the local newspapers
 We condemn the hostile attitude of the press in its attempt to dis rupt and discredit the growing unity of the working class, We condemn 1t for it's efforts at provo cations and falsehoods In order tC create the wished for confusion n the minds of the workers of Water bury.

 Mfr. Vidal, when questioned rec garding this letter, said that he knew of It's existence but that Amelia Earhart had not been re- sponsible for securing his job as Air Bureau Director. It had come chiefly through Elliott Roosevelt. Tn any event, few months later 1t looked as if the plan to get the Northwest route equipped at government expense was bear ing fruit. On November {, 1883, Col. Brittin left tho following memo for his secretary. Miss Stein:
 "The Director of AcrOnautlcs Eugene VidaD has asked me to postpone my trip to st. Paul until next week 50 that | can push the Northwest transcon- tInentaI aIrways project through the Public Works Board on Tuesday,"
 on the same day, Brlttln also wrote the following letter to Hunter:
 "Mr. Vidal expects . decision by the middle of the week. MT. Vidal and I have agreed that uubIIclty on these rec0mmendas tlOns should be avoided as far as nossIble in order to prevent stirring up opposition at this tlme."
 Three weeks later, November 23. the Public Works Board au- thorized S656. .445 for radio and lighting equipment of the North west AirWays route to Seattle, toe gether with on additional $o7,4SO for It's route to Winnipeg.
 The first of these was the big Rest PWA allotment for any one air route, the next largest being S46b, ,075 for the Nashville Wash- ington route of American AirwayS, which Elliott Roosevelt was re. ported to be associated for q priet interval. It should be noted that other mir routes had been lighted to n considerable extent under the Hoover Administration.

Crab, crab, crab!! That seems to be the best thing we do when it comes to discussing brush fires. But when you pick up the daily papers and read about the number of times that various com panies have responded to such fires in the course of twenty-four hours it's enough to make any one crab. Water bury has too many of these blazes. Soon- CT or later the city will be forced to pros- ecute those responsible for them. We don't need to make any laws, for we have them now. All we will have to do will be to enforce them. And we're pretty sure the fire department will be glad to lend it's aid

A Book a. Day
A "One- -Gallus" Man Goes Into Politics
 RY RRIICE CAPTION

I'm one of he men," said Cabe Hargis, "who live on the far prong of the creek, hold up their brooches with one gallus, and don't mind if they only have one gallus so long as they got brooches"
 This breezy declaration will intro duce you to the central figure of Charles Morrow Wilson's novel, "Rabble Rouser'! Gongman's, Green: $2), which is marvelously human study of the backwoods poli- tician.
 Cabe Hargis came down from the Arkansas mountains and developed a flair for politics. He talked the language of the hill people and the poor farmer; he was 8 sort of cross between Huey Long and Gene Talmadge and Alfalfa Bill Murray, and to understand him is to under stand how these gentlemen rose to power.
 MT. Wilson shows us this untutor- ed Cabe Hargis in his climb to the peak of state politics. The power NOatkhAaACo BHpC AAlAA AAAo Afso4Cp AAG was for the common, one-gallus man against the big corporation. The one-gallus men, in turn. gave him the votes that made him pow erfuI.
 To be sure. it all got him no- where. He rose to the governor ship itself. and found the system too powerful to buck. As you read you expect him to sell out. at thif point: to make his war on corpo- rations a kind of shadow-boxlnR under cover of which he could feather his own nest. But Mr Wilson fools you.
 His Cabe Hargis stays honest - and. in the end, topples as swiftly as he rose, And the novel is in- tensely readable. not only as study Of politics but as . portrayal of a lusty. unpublished, i00-per-ccnt' human frOntiersFnan.

Will Rogers Still

Movie fans refuse to admit that
Will Rogers is gone, said Nelson
Eddy, film singer on his return
from concert tour with new
slant on the "ten most popular
screen stars"
In SO states he visited fans
asked him more questions about
the late cowboy comedian than
any other actor or actress, ne
said.
Eddy listed the nine next most
discussed stars in order as fol-
lows:
Jeanette Mcdonald, Norm a
Shearcr, Shirley Temple, Greta
Carlo, Gene Raymond, Robert
Taylor, Lawrence Tibbett, Gladys
Swarthout and Marlene Dietrich.
Eddy'S selection contrasts sharp
ly with list of the ten "biggcSt,

named by vote of independent
theater operators on the basis OF
box-office returns in a poll con
Quoted by a motion picture trade
magazine last fall. That group in

the best index, but Eddy is en-
titled to an opinion. How accu

Finds Remedy For
Whooping Cough
Physician Says Soda Given
in Early Stages

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, May 10.
CuP-A new treatment for
whooping cough which curtails
and in some cases eliminates the
"whoops," was described at the
American Medical associations
concluding session by DR.. Joseph
G. Regain of Brooklyn, n. Y. =,
BY simply adding a small
amount of ordinary baking Soda
which, any housewife has on her
Kitchen, shelf, to the food or drink
taken,:by a patient, DR.. Regain
found that he could relieve the in
dividuai's serious and weakening
cough.
a study of the blood of whoop-
ing cough patients showed that
their normal acid balance was up
set and DR.. Regain began expert
menting to determine whether this
acid did not cause the more serl-
Gus complications in the disease.
Ne tried to work out way to
neutralize the acid in patients
system and succeeded when ne
gave them soda.
He found that when the soda
was given during the early or
cold-like stage of whooping cough
he was able to eliminate the
"whoop" in a majority of cases.
Why administration of soda,
usually in hot milk, should have
such an effect has not been work
cd out, DIR. Regain explained. He
said that the phosphorus content
of the blood was raised to near
normal under the treatment and
that this might have a great deaI
to do with it.
