x A slight, but distinct note Of
temporary resignation crept
into the ranks of the Wash
ington ball club today, and with it
crept opportunity for couple Of kid
pitchers.
Stanley Raymond Harris, who had
succeeded in building himself up on
the comeback efforts of Monte Weaver
and Jack Russell was in the throes
of a letdown. Not that Manager
Bucky is giving up on 'em, but at
the same time he is not counting too
much on an early reversal of their
current form.
ct guess now" quoth Bucky sadly,
shat it's up to a couple youngsters
to fash some stuff. BY couple
youngsters mean Dick Lanahan and
Henry Coppola."
Harris sadness was induced by a
at the hands Of the Boston Red
Sox, 10-to-8 decision that once
again proved that poor pitching can
more than offset good batting attack
AS a result of the drubbing. Bucky
has shifted his slabbing plans and
tomorrow, when the Nationals re-
turn to Orlando to open two-game
he
will start Lanahan and finish with
Coppola.
Both youngsters figured to stick
with the club all along. but only a.
spot" pitchers Now they will have
an opportunity to move up in rating
and step into the shoes of Russell
and Weaver, at least until the vet
Grams round into the form expected
OF them.

K Jesse Hill, rising outfeld star
- of the Nationals, is expected to
return to the lineup tomor-
row when the club returns to its train
ing base at Orlando to entertain the
Browns in the opener Of q two-game
series.
There Is no denying Hill his right
to a regular job and the lead-of posi-
ton. but Developments during his alb
sence, due to a sprained ankle. have
been more than pleasing. The Ma
tionals hardly can afford to have Hill
out of the lineup for any sustained
period Of time, but at least for fill
in" arrangement Manager Bucky
Harris is realizing he could do much
worse than have Dee Miles and Buddy
Lewis leading off the batting attack.
Lewis, despite his errors of late, has
been the batting sensation Of the club
and especially since he ana Miles nave
been teaming up as second-spot and
lead-off hitter, respectively. In the
five games in which Miles has been
lead off batter he has walked to the
plate II times to reach first base on II
occasions, 6 by base hits.
Lewis, hitting behind Miles, has done
almost as well. When Buddy banged
Red Sox pitching for four hits in six
trips yesterday it made IL times he
has reached base in his last Is trips
to the dish. Nine Of Buddy's tickets
to base were lusty hits.
With the youngsters displaying this
ability to get on base. the Nationals
have experienced little difficulty in
pushing 'em across for imposing run
totals. Now the problem Is to keep the
other side from making as many scores.

Giants Full Of IFS,


NEW YORK; There is suspicion
that the Giants are tottering.
The second base problem seems solved
nicely with Burgess Whitehead. Sam
Leslie can step in Manager Bill Terry's
place at first if Bills knee does collapse
on him. Pitching is doubtful with
only three real good bets in Carl Hub
bell, Hal Schumacher and Clydell
Castleman. Terry's team has more
''ifs" than any other club.
Pittsburgh: The Pirates have
chance TO surprise the league. There's
class everywhere in the Pirate den.
The big problem confronting Mana
ger Pie Traynor is hustle. They might
have won last year with more hustle,
but they didn't.
Brooklyn: Casey Stengel should
have a great pitching staff and plenty
of punch. The infield is the ques-
ton. With more new faces than any
club, Casey has only two inhelders Of
proven worth, Linus Frey. who has
been i'll, and Jersey Joe Strip. one
of the years most adamant holdouts.
Cincinnati: Manager Charlie Dres-
sen has approximately the same club
as that which finished sixth last sea
sor. His big job is to develop power
on attack. Pitching and defense ap-
pear good.
Philadelphia: The Phillies may
fool EN-, but they must get a long
range hitter Of the Klein type. Mana
ger Jimmie Wilson has pitchers ga
lore, but the attack looks weak.
Boston: Manager Bill McKechnie
promises the Bees won't be last. The
club looks much stronger than last
season, but it's going to be a tough
haul to get out of that cellar.

Le,cis in Slick Hitting Suing

CLIF BOLTON, flrst-string catcher
whose foot was bruised painfully
yesterday by ball in infleld practice.
was expected to take his place behind
the bat today against the Cardinals or
tomorrow against the Browns.
Cliff was struck by a thrown ball
which forced him to retire yesterday
in Sarasota and leave the catching up
to Sam Holbrook. Ice packs reduced
the swelling considerably and Bolton
was able to pinch-hit later in the
game, although 1t was necessary to
have Ossie Bluege run for him when
Bolton walked to open the ninth in
ming.
THE Red Sox look plenty different
from the club that took beating
from the Griffs nearly two weeks ago
and Bill Werber seems to be part Of
the reason. Werber has supplied a
spark in the infield that was missing
while he was holding out.
Not only has he supplied this, but
Bill also has provided a hefty batting
punch. When he collected three hits
in four trips to the plate yesterday,
Werber ran his hitting streak to 10
safeties in IT times at bat since he

Sales Tax Again

Indications that even more pressure Tn favor of sales tax would be brought to bear on legislators in 1887 were seen in the recent hearing held in Hartford by the State Commission to Study the Pauper Laws It seemed to be the concensuS of this gathering, attended by social workers from many sections of the state that some aid must be given cities and towns in ad- ministering relief. And it was to the state that all who discussed this matter looked for this additional aid
 About the only suggestion offered for providing state revenue by which financial aid could be granted cities and towns were income tax and sales tax. The former, according to Miss Eleanor H. Little, secre- tary of the Connecticut Emergency Relief Commission, would not provide sufficient funds to meet the demands, therefore, it might be imperative or necessary to ln- augurate sales tax. William M. Harris of this city also thought that the sales tax would be required to put the plan dis cussed into operation.
 All of which means that there's going to be tremendous fight in 1887 over the sales tax. It was the subject of pro- longed and bitter arguments in 1885. Ultimately the sales tax was scrapped It had been suggested at that time as part of the plan to change our tax Sys- tenn in this state. To the past opponents of the sales tax, we're afraid, will be added by next year those who find that addi- tional taxes, such as those on cigarettes and liquor, have not yet caused the prop erty tax to be changed in many respects. Certainly adding all these new taxes ought to mean some changes in the tax payers annual contributions.

Working, Driving Limits

Advocates of more education for the young and more ease for the old have been suggesting that children attend school until 18 and grown-ups be pen stoned off at 65. By an interesting coin cidence, insurance companies find that there are more automobile accidents among drivers under IS and people over 65 than for any other age groups. The traffic safety enthusiasts and the old age pension enthusiasts should get together.
 There are, no doubt, young people competent to drive before they are IS, and many old people likewise competent after 65. But it might well be- required that people under and over these limits prove their competence. As for working limits, surely our society is now entering stage where it should not be necessary for any, one to work for living more than Al years Sooner or later we shall probably reduce that period to 40 or even 30 years. The latter arrangement might mean working from the age of 20 to 50..

Needs Good Discussion

Prior to establishment of any metered parking system in this city there should be thorough discussion of the same with motorists, as well as property owners be- ing allowed to voice their opinions of the same It may be that there are certain aspects of the proposal that should be thoroughly aired before the city enters into any contract for the devices. Among the many things to be considered are the dangers of the meters constituting a menace to pedestrian traffic, causing falls and injuries.
 There is also the thought that the meters might prove objectionable from size and appearance. These thoughts, of course, are advanced with little or no knowledge of what the proposed new system actually constitutes. We simply bring to mind all the objections that might rise up in peoples minds, so that if the city does decide that metered park ing is going to solve many difficulties and at the same time provide source of rev. enue it won't be said that the voters had no chance to express opinions.
 We should like to know more about metered parking in other industrial cities of Waterbury's size and faced with siml- lar parking problems as our own, those caused by narrow streets and irregularly laid-out thoroughfares. Bringing all these facts to the surface now will cer- tainly speed up installation of the devices if they prove acceptable and are regarded aS certain to aid our present situation. Some means of controlling downtown parking must be found. This may be one and as such needs complete checking up first

Super-Zep for U. s.

AS the time approaches for the first visit to this country of Germany's new zeppelin, the Hindenburg, plans are announced for construction of another dirigible in the United States. Engineers of the Goodyear-Zeppelin Company of Akron are already busy on designs. It is said work could be started within 24 hours if the government authorized it. The airship would be built primarily for com mercial use, probably in transatlantic trade adn travel. It could be converted easily however, to serve as flying air base for military service.
 At the times of the tragic disasters oc- curing to the Akron and the Macon, Americas two most recent dirigibles, the public became skeptical of this type of craft. The construction and successful trial flights of the new German ship arouse new interest here, and there will doubtless be popular support for another American dirigible
 One doubt remains. Present plans are said to call for "the largest lighter-than- air craft ever built," longer than the German ships and longer than the ill., fated Akron and Macon. Why? Would 1t not be well to start with smaller ships and prove their worth and safety before building giant even bigger than the wrecked giants of the past?

Badness Explained

The National Ladies' Hairdressers, recently in convention at Toronto, tried to answer the old problem why more men are bald than women. The old eXplana- tion that men wore tight hats, interfer, ing with the circulation of the blood through the scalp, is not adequate, said a physician, because women wear hats tighter than men's."
 Another authority gave more plausi- ble explanation. Badness, he says, may come from any illness that poisons the blood For example, infected tonsils, pyorrhea, absessed teeth, infected sinuses, kidney troubles, and so on. Another spe- cialist said: "Its worry, sickness, hered- ity, and tonics with too large an alcoholic content. Men worry more than women, and so are more affected"
 It's somewhat confusing, but bald men will probably get the main point. Or rather the two main points. Avoid worry, and avoid infectious diseases - especially the type called focal infections" Clean ing up the infections will do much to eliminate the worry.

Local safety committees are needed if highway accidents are to be decreased, claims Colonel Samuel Fisher, chairman of Governor Wilbur L. Cross Commission on Street and Highway Safety. Meeting in Hartford Monday he called upon all communities to name groups that would be entrusted with the > Ity and task of making their fellow citizens safety con- scious. Continued publicity must be in the nature of an educational campaign declared Chairman Fisher. In short just the mere citing of numerous accidents here and there isn't going to make other drivers conscious of their own short- comings. He's right in that utterance. What has to be done is a supreme effort to bring home to all drivers the fact that we are inheritently careless. Nine out of ten drivers will display the same faults in operation every time they get behind the wheel of car. Only education can correct these faults.

Wagner Housing Plan New York Senator Envisions Future in Which 14,000,000 Families Will Require More
 Adequate Housing Facilities at Low Cost
NEW BRITAIN HERALD

Federal housing projects have been among the weak efforts of the New Deal, this largely because of the manifold difficulties met with along the route to better and cheaper homes for the poor. Some of these difficulties have been eco- nomical as well as judicial. For in- stance, if the government provides housing, is it to accept rentals far below the cost of production or is it to run the projects on business principles? If the former, then the government would be compelled to expend huge sums on behalf of the benefciaries; if the latter, then it is very doubtful indeed whether the poor will be able to afford the lux ury of the governments quarters
 Senator Wagner of New York is making a new drive for government housing, introducing a new housing bill and making speech of import ance about 1t. The Wagner pro- posal is important because, despite its large expenditures, 1t may re- ceive administration support.
 The new Wagner housing bill will call for a bond issue of $450,000,0 ,00C for the first year. Over four-yeal period it would rise to a billion dol lars. Though a central housing au-

thority would be set up, decentral- ization and local autonomy would be promoted.
 Experience of the last several years has indicated that limited dividend housing corporations sup piled with federal credit are not enough to provide low-cost housing. Practically every student of hous- ing problems agrees that even with the present low money rates, new housing cannot be constructed profitably to be let at very low rem tals. Almost all the new housing now being undertaken by private enterprise is for the upper income groups. The lower income groups in the larger cities can count only on living in houses which have de- teriorated or at least are old, unless subsidies reduce the rentals charg- ed on new housing.
 It is to overcome this difficulty that the Wagner plan provides for federal subsidies for new low-cost housing-these to take the form ot an outright grant, remission of in- terest charges, or exemption from taxation, or combination of these forms.
 This would be following in part the British plan of new housing construction since the war, the con- siderable amount of new housing | provided in Britain having been due to government subsidies.
 The Wagner plan is likely to be better thought out than the earlier New Deal slum clearance projects which were partly in existence ir order to provide employment, such as the PWA. The PWA encompass ed 50 projects, and these are man. ifestly inadequate as an answer tc the low-cost housing problem.
 It has been estimated by Senator Wagner that in the next ten years about 65 billions of dollars will bt needed to meet proper housing re- quirements for 100000 families.
 And with that 65 billions in minc we pause and reflect. And we can- not help coming to the conclusion that if the government is to pro. vide any substantial part of thi! sum as subsidies, then rubber dol. lars will be used.
 But as for the building and hard. ware industry, they have nothing to fear from Senator Wagner.
