This may not please Coughlin allc

The Farmer-Labor movement Of
this country strives to achieve this

Selected Poem
SEPTEMBER

SEPTEMBER
(Leone Rice Grelle, Mount Carmel, In the New
Journal Courier)
Today seems Just little bleak, somehow:
Thin threads Of clouds have yelled the Giants
head
The grass bends, dusty brown, beside the way,
And all the golden summer time is fed
The hours are stepped In quiet expectancy:
Tall trees stand silent, waiting the caress
OF Autumn's gaudy paint brush brief and swift,
To deck them out In giddiest Of dress.
But though tomorrow may be lovelier
Than all the days that have known to now
The grass Is bent . !. the Giants head Is bowed.
Today Is Just little sad, somehow.

Have you noticed how green the foliage
is remaining this fall? It's a sure sign
that heavy frosts have not struck the
state as yet. And some observers claim
that we won't really get real taste OF
autumn weather until we strike October.
It's nice to see the trees and flowers re-
naming with us, but October's variegated
colors are always a magnificent finale to
the year.

NO RELIEF FROM RELIEF
(Meriden JournaD

Brief examination of the relief
situation in Waterbury has left the
Investigators puzzled, since figures
show employment has returned to
the 1928 level, while there Is no
offsetting drop In relief expendi-
lures. Oftlcials, employers and plain
taxpayers will join In making a
thorough investigation Of condi-
tions.
About the only explanation offered
so far is that there are many more
persons In the working field than
there were In '28. Population has ex-
banded and many have attained
working age during the period; 9TH
ers who did not work before the de-
preston And It necessary to seek
Jobs now. Whatever the reason, the
city should learn what 1t Is up
against In the way Of continuing
relief on a huge scale, and the pos
sibilities Of providing more private
employment.
The experience Of this industrial
community of a hundred thousand
people is not different from that Of
other factory towns, including Mer-
iden. We, too, have considerable
more employment with relief still
running at high levels. Rural places
are making a nicer recovery. At
hand Is a report from Putnam coun-
ty, just over the line In New York,
where the welfare commissioner,
Mrs. Eliza w. Dean, has reduced the
cost of her ONCE force by $54S a
month. AT the highest point Of the
depression there were about 900
persons on the rolls out Of a popu-
latien of $4,000. Now there are but
100. These figures do not include
those on old age pensions, 10 per-
sons. ,A
The pension age has dropped to
65 and there are IS applications UNI
| der the new rule.
With cities still running about one
to seven on relief, this rural COM
munity has but one In $50.

BANNED BOOKS" NOT so IN

WRITER

WRITER
Waterbury, Conn.
Sept. 10, 1886.
Editor Of the Democrat:
noticed with both interest and
slight surprise an interview in the
columns Of your esteemed paper
from DR.. Thomas ]. Condor, super
intendent Of schools, regarding the
action Of two Catholic members Of
the board Of education In Bridge
port, having several books on the
Vatican index not only banned from
the high schools reading list, but
removed from the schools library
shelves as we'll.
While as yet DR.. Condor is faced
with no such action as was taken
by the board Of education in
Bridgeport, disagree with his
laissez-faire explanation Of the SER
iousness Of the matter from q view
point Of moral rectitude, namely
that children pay more attention
to the action In the books and tend
to pass over the immortality, scarcely
noticing 1t, II at ALL" and also his
remark, "these books are not as
black as painted. Maybe they are
not to the mature mind, but the
fact remains, as far as Catholics are
concerned, the Vatican has placed
them on the index, and as far as
Catholics are concerned, that
should be final.
DR.. Condor, I think, would have
displayed better judgment II he had
merely told your reporter that as yet
there had been no objection by the
board Of education in this city to
the books In question, Victor Hugo's
Les Miserables", Alexander Dumas
1.-THE Three MuSketeers" and
Twenty Years After. That would
have let him out rather than de-
Tending the reading Of the books on
the ground that high school stud
ents pay little or no attention to
the immortality Of such books.
On the contrary I think irre-
spective Of DR.. Condon's views, and
I also respect his years Of expert
ence In and around the classroom,
that high school students are at Just
the impressionabl age when such
books can and will do much harm
In molding moral character for the
future. II the list Of youthful GRIM
inals counts for anything today,
they ilnbibe deeply Of anything that
they can get Of immoral or Ques-
tionable nature. Why then, add
fuel to the fire by putting tempta-
ton In their way. even II 1t only be
through the medium Of books. SUI
fee 1t for that.
The situation which Bridgeport
recently ironed out does not exist
here inasmuch as no objection has
been raised from the board Of edu-
cation or elsewhere. When It does
1t will be time to discuss the right
or wrong Of 1t as far as Catholic
students are concerned, at which

Even before the president went

There Guy r. Gooding, WPAd-

Washington Monument Has
Defied Lightning for Years

High winds and electrical storms
invariably bring calls to the weather
bureau from citizens wondering If
the Washington monument is still
intact. People wonder why no Sc
rious damage has been done to the
monolith by the heavy static dis
charges. Gaping the 90 feet of
granite is a pyramid Of aluminium,
5.6 by 80 inches in size, and weigh
ing 100 ounces. This was the larg
est single piece of aluminium cast up
TO that time-1SS4. Except for spor-
adic strikes which have run down
the rods harmlessly, no bolt has ever
left its calling card on the face of
the column despite the great con-
ductivity of aluminium.
The aluminium tip was placed over
the projecting point of an iron rod.
to which are attached wires leading
to the ground as lightning cOnduc-
tors. The ground wires end in
40-foOt well Immediately below the
elevator shaft, thus precluding all
possibility of damage.-Washingt

The White Cliffs of Dover

"R ACK in the days when we had
- iron men on wooden ships
instead of wooden men on iron
ships" said Cap'n John of Marble
head, Il signed on for my first
cruise with Old Stormalong. A big
feller the skipper was-just four
fathoms and a compass width from
the deck to the bridge.
He had to be, of course, for his
vessel, the COurser, was the big
gest ship on the Atlantic. Why,
l mind the day he sent a young
feller aloft to push cloud off the
top of the mainmast when he
came down he was drippin' wet
with somethin' white. DANCED near
drowned up there in the Milky
Way > he was sputterin'.
But l was startin' to tell you
about that time a storm drove us
toward the English channel. Be
tween Calais and the cliffs of
Dover Old Stormalong took one
squint ahead and yelled: will she
make it?
May scrape a bit of paint off'n
her sides, but | think she WILL an
swerd the man at the wheel.
"'Can't have that! roared Old
StOrmalong. All hands over and
soap the sides put an extra
heavy coat on the starboard.'
The next minute me and the rest
of the crew was plasterin' the sides
of the COurser with all the soap we
had on board and she eased through
without bit of trouble. Of course,
it was such a tight fit that the Do
yer cliffs scraped every bit of soap
off the starboard side. Ever since
those cliffs have been pure white
that's our soap still clingin' to
'em. Sure it is! Next time you go
through the channel take a look at
the waves. They're still a bit foamy
from that same soap!"

When You See a Wimpuss-

\ WIMPUSS, according to Aus
1 n tin Butcher, editor of the AL
toona (Kan.) Tribune, is a rare ami
NAL which grows about as big as
a hoogie-bug, but it has long tail
like a collywop and wings like a
bearcat. 1t lives in the top of high
trees, whence it flies down to at
tack defenseless travellers. How
ever, no harm is to be feared from
wimpuss if you know what to
do when you see one coming.
1t is folly to shoot at one, for
a wimpuss catches bullets in its
teeth and eats them. The only way
to do when one comes at you is to
take a piece of cheese, either Edam
or Swiss, and tack it securely on
waterfall. The wimpuss makes
a swoop at the cheese and gets
mixed up with the waterfall and
gets its feet wet.
1t makes a wimpuss mad as all
get-out when he gets his feet wet.
SO he hunts around for a nice piece
of grass to dry them on. The min
ute the wimpuss lights on the grass,
the hunter rushes at him and ties
his tail in a double bow knot. When
a wimpuss has his tail tied in a
double bow knot he is gone, because
when he flies he always ducks his
head under his body to see who is
following him. In doing this he
gets his head caught in the double
knot and chokes himself to death.

Reducing Is Simple

1t is unfortunate that so many
overweight individuals get the idea
that if they are fat they were
meant to be fat.
All that is necessary for you
to safely reduce your weight is to
do three things:
l. Cut down on the present
amount of food you are eating by
10 to 20 per cent, that is, eat one
tenth or one-fifth less than you now
eat. That certainly should be no
hardship.
2. Increase the amount of eXer-
else you take by at least One-fifth.
This means a little more walking
or other exercise or perhaps sleep
ing one hour less, or not sitting
down so much.
3. Drink about one-quarter less of
liquids-water, tea, milk, coffee,
soft or hard drinks.

MORE people could feel fine, be

only follow the rule of doctors and
hospitals in relieving constipation.
Never take any laxative that is
harsh in action. Or one, the dose of

Doctors know the danger if this rule
is violated. They use liquid laxatives,
and keep reducing the dose until the
bowels need no help at all.
Reduced dosage is the secret of
aiding Nature in restoring regularity.
You must use a little less laxative
each time, and that's why it should
be liquid like Syrup Pepsin.
Ask your druggist for bottle of
