"A Vital Necessity"

The Connecticut Forest and Park as- sociation held it's annual meeting In New Haven Saturday and among other things termed the complete establishment of state park on Sherwood Island "a vital necessity" We don't imagine that this is the first time that such statement has been made in connection with this park. We are almost beginning to give up hope. The last development namely that cer- tain land transactions in which the state rounded out it's present holdings were illegal was about the last straw.
 However, where there is small park, no doubt there's still hope And it cer- tainly would be pity in state like Con- necticut where state forests and parks now rank among the best in the eastern states that the first tract of land acquired for state park purposes should be al- lowed to become practically non-eXistant so far as use by the public is concerned. If by next summer the park has not been rounded out so that it can be thrown open to the entire state, we feel it might well be abandoned and efforts centered on acquiring other shore front age in Fairfield county.
 This, of course, was suggested once before, but we don't propose 1t in the SdIHc SpIlJ dS CndIdCJcIlHeu JIlc lolHlcl offer. That was conceived as gigantic "steal" as we recall some of the words that irate legislators and other public officials used when the entire transaction was revealed Suffice to say this deal houndered badly and public opinion pre- vented nasty row. We're still founder ing, however, with Sherwood Isand. Can't someone with authority please step in and settle the entire thing peacefully and to the satisfaction of all?

One of the worst sections of roadway in the city right now arc the approaches to the new South Main street bridge. Of course nothing can really be done about them until warm weather sets in. Then, we presume, the approaches will be prop erly surfaced, such as was unable to be done when the bridge was thrown open to the public in the dead of winter. A great improvement has been made in this section of South Main street by erection of this new bridge. Formerly it was bottlencck that impeded the even flow of traffic. Manys the traffic jam that resulted on account of the narrow ness of the bridge especially when trolley cars were passing along the street. Now they arc gone and fine wide bridge is there, so no complaints need be register ed, provided the approaches are cared for promptly.

A Book a Day
Describes Rueope in Terms of Dictators
 By BRUCE CAPTION

You can't say that the American public is not being well served by It's European correspondents thcSe days Some of the most intelligent men in the country are covering the Eu- ropean scene for the American press, and Bomc of the most 0b- Sorbingly interesting books of the day are the ones these foreign cor respondents are writing.
 The latest one is "Insidc Eu- rope" by John dunther.
 Mir. Gunthcr. who has been ap- plying q trained newspaperman's eye to affairs in Central Europe for q number of years. remarks that human history these days is at the mercy of half dozen strong individual personalities.
 Economic and social forces don't account for everything, after all: the pOst-war history of Europe. for instance. would be vastly different if someone had shot Lenin in the summer of 1917.
 BO. Mir. Gunther describes for as these dominant personalities. and sets them against their proper backgrounds. He tells about Hitler and MumOllDI, Renal and Btalin. Laval and Baldwin. and such de- parted diciatOrg aB Pilsudski. Doll fusB. and Alexander.
 And by describing them. telling what each man is trying t0 do and revealing how the subteranean ouTrenb in his country help 0f hinder him ln hls work. MT. Gum ther gives nD extraordinarily Inter esting and vivid picture of history ln the making.

quit in disgust and was trai1s- ferred to justice. His successor, Ernest G. Draper, an able New, York business man, isr eported to be on the verge of departure.
 Ewing Y. Mitchell, another assistant secretary, was fired amid Q fusllladc of charges and counter-chargcs regarding ship ping and efficiency.
 Willard Thorpe, Roper's first chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, was axed by a senate committee when he came up for conflrma- ation, as result of secret con- nivance by some of Roper's henchmen.
 Thomas M. Woodward, inde- pendent and outspoken member of the chipping board, was forc- cd by Roper to resign when he insisted that shipping companies fulfil the terms of their contracts with the government.
 Mccoy Jones and Frederic l.. Adams, cruSading members of the bureau of navigation and steamboat inspection, were, dis- missed for making public the real facts about inefficiency in their bureau.
 Inner advisers indicate that the president would like to do q little cabinet house-cleaning, but he docs not consider 1t politically cxpedient until after elections. Next November, however, watch for some major shakc-ups in the cabinet.

In New York
O IO5O. MIA

New York, March 0.--"If 1t comes to monkeys, sec Trefflich" is the window slogan of Henry T'reiflich, Manhattan's monkey magnate.
 Henry speaks glowingly of the current monkey market. He is now approaching the height of his sea- son, for in mid-February and early March, herb doctors, carnival men an dhamburgcr stand proprietors descend upon his Fulton street menageric for new summer Pets. To meet the demand, Henry has just taken in a shipment of 500 of our hairy friends from Calcutta, India.
 His prize pct at the moment Hor Salc) is an African chimpan2ee from the Congo who has been kick ing around the display window dur ing the last few weeks and interfer- ing with pedestrian traffic. An acro- batic exhibitionist by birth, Sam bo," aS he has been chriStened by pagscrs-by, puts on Q show for the impromptu audience every quarter hour or 50, but he not yet won q purchasers heart. Henry, however, expects that "Sambo" and he will be parted shortly.
 
 WrlggIlng Stock
 Although monkeys have been the largest source of his income, Henry, who follows in hiS fathers line as a mercenary zoologist, is really a spe- cialiBt in BnakeS--all kinds of snakes. And you would be surprised to hear the names of well-known citizens who buy them, retail. Vin- cent AStor, for example, and MT. Kcllog, the cornnake king. Tn this branch of his business, Henry gets bigger call for pythons than for other species of reptile. The reason for this partiallty is easy: PythonS are the most easily domesticated snakes to have around the house or yard. Thye never (well, hardly ever) bite, although they try. And they have habit of dozing off most of the time.
 Az for Hcnry's other specialtics, you may order m aardvaark if you 70 desire, and no doubt get 1t if you give the animal and snake charmer enough time.
 Shipping news: Quietly and un- obsrusivcly, Cunard- Star is plotting reception in New York for the new supcr-vegsel, the Queen Mary. that will exceed the ballyhoo of the Normandlc's arrival. But the plans for It's maiden voyage nt the end of May are being kept secret for while.
 Tn the meantime, these facts about the new transatlantic liner are revealed: The boat will be a window cleaners paradise because more glass has been used in the construction than in any other ocean greyhound.
 A broadcastlng station aboard will make ships concerts and all other events that transpire cn route audible to England and the United States simultaneously.
 The liner will carry the largest lifeboat fleet on the Atlantic, con- slsting Of 2S massive steel boats driven by Diesel engines.
 Passengers will be able to make secret telephone calls to America or Europe from the Queen Mary with out tho interference of land sta. tions. except one that will pick ur the connection.

CHAPTER XVIII

Toby didn't want to believe what happened that night at the Se- vile club. She argued with her- self about IL, tried t0 convince her- self there was some explanation
 It had been two days since she had seen Tim. Both days he'd called her and Toby had confidently expected to spend the evenings with him. Then retakes were ordered on some photographs made the day before, and there was nothing for her to do but tell Tim their date vas of.
 The second evening he had been tied up-some sort of family af- faiy, he said, that he couldn't get out of.
 So when he came for her the fol- lowing evening, a real celebration seemed in order. Toby wore a new hat-shiny black straw with a bright red flower directly in front, She thought t added a good deal of smartness to her simple dress and coat. and was delighted when Tim approved 1t, too,
