bal onslaught as was delivered by Stam- lords democratic mayor would be just enough to send the democratic ticket to an even more convincing victory than that of 1884.
 The Times-Star expresses it in this fashion: After due and prolonged con- sideration of the results of his action, we are led to the conclusion that Alfred N Junior Phillips. democratic mayor of Stamford, was really giving Governor Wilbur L.

Acts As a Boomerang

The editor of the Bridgeport Times Star finds that the recent attack made upon Governor Wilbur L. Cross by Mayor Alfred N. Phillips of Stamford is produc- ing some fine results in the state Instead of setting up forces actively opposed to the governor and anxious to remove him as candidate to succeed himself this fall the Times-Star finds the opposite is true. The republican press of the state has banded to show that Governor Cross is really worth while chief executive and not the person Mayor Phillips makes him out to be.
 Even the republican-bound Hartford Courant jumped to the defense Of the governor. All of which is by way of show ing that if the democratic newspapers (did say newspapcrs) of the state show as much enthusiasm for the governor he is as good as elected, provided, Of course, that he accepts the nomination next Sep tenfber. Politics does work in funny ways. It might be that some such yer

Cause of Big Armies

 With whom then. With the countries where political freedom remains. It is not countries like Great Britain and France, even with their big arr2ies and navies, that have been thres ling new wars lately. Nor even Russia, which wants above everything else to complete it's eco- homie program.
 The responsibility for the new military rivalry now threatening civilization lies mainly with the three Fascist countries, Italy, Germany and Japan, all insistent on expansion and ruthless in their pro- fessed philosophy and political methods.

It is with bit of sadness that we write tonight that Justin Huntley Mccarthy, the justly-famous author and playwright, is dead We always had a penchant for Mccarthy. Somehow or other his writ ings seemed to possess that rich, romantic flavor that appealed. If he had written nothing more than "If Were King," it would still entitle him to some degree of immortality. But that one play did not encompass his entire writings. In recent years we knew him all over again, be- cause the stage took his famous "If I Were King" and made it into "The vaga- bond King" with Denis King to portray the swash-buckling Francois Villon. Nc Carthy was man of many literary parts. He could write plays Cat least his one famous one is sufficient to give him that reputation); he was an historian; he was novelist. Quite accomplished, we'd say.

Phe first lobster pots of the 1886 sea- son were set out by Guilford lobstermen early last week. We hope that the floods have not had any serious effect. Inci- dentally fishermen are boasting that this is the earliest the lobster season has opened in five years. It's great sight to see the lobster fleet put out and to watch the efficient fishermen go at their tasks of dropping the "pots" far down into the sea with the colorful buoys bobbing around on the surface of the water. And if you ever get chance, try to pull in one of these lobster pots; of course with the owners permission.

 And if God wills 1t too-a little snow I've been pent up all day, and cursed the air That l was forced to use time and again And share with twenty other restless men.

But have not used half my share as yet; My labels on some wave now trailing past And will catch 1t here and hold 1t fast. And if the twenty men who share with me The little air that brick walls introduce Will catch a pocket full and turn is loose We'll be fresher crew tomorrow night, When we have spanned another noisy day That trade has thrown in elementalg way.

 One reason for Jimmy Roose- velt's yen for accompanying his father on the Florida fishing trip is that he is taking a course in navigation.
 The Massachusetts State De- partment of Education shows that Jimmy is enrolled in @ Univer- sity Extension course to learn how to pilot 8 yacht.
 Speculation is that Jimmy is making another pass at the swanky Eastern Yacht club (Marblehead, Mass.,) one of the seven organizations which black balled his application for mem- bership when he first came to Boston.

A Book a Day
Convicts Flee, Find a Saint Came Along
BY BRUCE CAPTION

Imagine 10 of the most villain ous convicts on Devils Island breaking away to escape by sea in an open boat; and imagine, also, that after they get started they find an 11th man in the boat, an utter stranger who seems to be able to heal the sick, still the tenn pests, and foretell the future.
 If you can imagine all this, you will have an idea of what Not Too Narrow. Not Too Deep," by Richard Sale, is all about.
 For this novel takes of from precisely that beginning. We have group of horrible, beetle-browed thugs logging 1t out of French Guiana, ready to knife one another on the slightest provocation--and discovering, to their amazement, that in their number is a myste- rious and miraculously gifted saint who appears--and I say this in all reverence--to be Jesus Christ, Him. self.
 What happens thereafter is un- expected and slightly confusing One by one. the assorted cutthroats, rapists, and bank robbers who make up the list are startled into regeneration. Instead of snarling al one another, they coo and lie down together, lion -and-lamb fashion.
 By the time the escape is com pleted. their dark lives have beer purged of violence, hatred. and selfishness. and they are free--free not merely from prison, but from the old Adam that has all of u, under his sway.
 It Is foolish to try to say whether q book Of this kind is c good" book. If you have 6 tinge of mysticism. you will like 1t very much: if not. you won't bc able tc finish 1t. Me. I rather liked 1t.
