its part in the great national effort
which brought victorious peace liz

Many of the city's young men were
called into the armed services and
some of them were called upon to sac

with thousands of other brave young

An early dividend can be expected by depositOrs of the closed Merchants Trust Co, The Democrat was informed today. It is expected that Bank Commissioner Walter Perry will soon file a motion asking superior court for permission to pay savings and cor ,lnercial department deposltors 3 divi- dend.
 Last week, Commissioner Perry announced that liquida- tiOn of the affairs of several closed banks was near comple- tiOn. Though the Merchants Trust Co, receiverShip will probably not be ended for some time, the commissioners statement is taken to indicate that a dividend to Merchants Trust Co. deposit0rs can be ex- pected. As announced in Sat- urday's Democrat, liquidation of the Naugatuck Bank & Trust Co, is practically conn., pleted.

It now houses BOA male prisoners and 26 female, and as a result is jammed to capacity, with many ir1- stances of overcrowding. Authorities attribute the large number of pris- oners due in part to the fact that many are serving lengthy sentences because they were unable to pay stiff court fines and costs.
 Conditions Cited
 Norwich, with a normal capacity of 2,6o0, now houses approximately $500 patients, Judge Edward Mas colo pointed out in city court two weeks ago. Because of the over crowding of the state hospital Judge MaScolo at that time refused to send an alleged inebriate there for treatment despite the request of the mans relatives. Instead, the accused was committed to Brook side, and his relatives told that only if his condition failed to improve after treatment there, would other disposition be made of the case.
 Jail Farm
 Both Judge Mascolo and Judge John F. McGrath are supporters ot the movement for the establish ment of a jail farm. Proponents of this plan point out as one of the strongest arguments in its favor that such farm would greatly relieve the congestion both at the jail and at Norwich.

 Father Conlon, who will serve as executive secretary of the conven- ton, will describe plans for the f1a- tionwide gathering of Holy Name men. Several important features have been arranged and prominent churchmen will take part in the va rious exercises.
 Meeting Postponed
 The mass meeting of Waterbury Holy Name society members was originally scheduled for tonight. It was decided, however, to postpone the session and hold it tomorrow night. The meeting will begin at 8 D. M.
 It is hoped that every parish in Waterbury will be represented at the national convention, the first one to be held in several years. Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York will serve as chairman of the convention.
 A crowd of 5000 attended a field service at Beardsley park, Bridge port, Sunday afternoon, at which Father Conlon delivered the prin- cipal address. The service was sponsored by the Holy Name socie- ties of Bridgeport.
 rhe convention comes on the 25th anniversary of the first na- tional congress of the Holy Name society of America in Baltimore. In- teresting in that connection is the report of the convention, submitted to the Holy Name society of the Church of the Immaculate Con- ception by John J. Lynch, who was president in 1911.

 MT. Lynch's report of 25 years ago follows:

Those favoring the farm idea point out that the very nature of the offenso makes it impossible for defendants to pay court fines, that such per- sons are invariably destitute and that jail or institutional sentences are the only alternatives.
 Rehabilitation
 Establishment of a farm would serve the purpose, it is believed, not only of relieving jails and other institutions, but would provide 2; better opportunity for rehabilitation for this type of offender than is now possible.

Immediately after his speech he will entrain for Wash ington. Meanwhile, the president stimulated his new employment drive by calling upon the federal employment service, which operates free agencies in virtually every city of industrial importance, to redouble | its activities.
 sp .,ss Appeal to Employers
 Tn his Labor Day eve message from the White House, MT. Roose- welt warned that those who deprive the working man of a livelihood foster class dissention which in other countries has resulted in "dic- tatorship." He appealed to employ CTS to cooperate in a general cam paign to put people back to work. The employment service, organized in July, 1883, has made 16,00o, 1000 placements in the last three years, Director w. Frank Persons told the United Press. He explained, however that this did not. mean that jobs had been found for l6,o00,00o' "Some of the men were given tenn porary jobs and returned to us sev- eral times for replacement" he said Persons agency works in coopera- ton with the states on a dollar or-dollar basis. State agencies ac- tually do the work incident to find- ing jobs, while the federal agency devotes most of It's effort to classi- flying employees, making up lists of jobs ana supervising activities of the state bureaus.
 Reviews Dust Bowl Trip
 The president reviewed his trip into the nations dust bowl, pledged adequate protection for agricul- ture and sternly warned, in his fire- side address, that: There are

those who fail to read both the signs of the times and American history. They would try to refuse the worker any effective power to bargain collectively, to earn a de- cent livelihood and to acquire se- curity. It is those shortsighted ones, not labor, who threaten this coun- try with that class dissension which in other countries has led to dic- tatorship and the establishment of fear and hatred as the dominant emotions in human life."

Old and New.

Americans love novelty. That, in any
case, is the judgment of cultivated rep
resentatives of other civilizations. But
the verdict is approved by many thought
full residents of Main street. One has
only to talk with the average merchant
to be convinced. For example, a WASH
ington shoe dealer recently replied to
an inquiry: mo, we do not carry that
style. It was a good number five years
ago, but people want something new"
No useful purpose is likely to be served
by argument in the circumstances. 1t is
obvious that the American mind still
manifests some of its traditional pioneer
character. Millions of people consciously
desire to keep abreast of the times, re-
sent any condition which threatens being
"out of date" And when that instinct
is analyzed it is found to be closely
allied with the impulses which promote
political democracy and social progress.
It is felt in the heart as well as enter
tanned in the mind.

TO the convicted mans former home in
an inquiry regarding the manufacture Of
the ladder used in the theft Of the child,
came an addendum to the Means con-
fession" to the effect that he himself
constructed that device for entering the
Lindbergh home. 1t signifies simply that
the prisoner at Leavenworth is playing
his publicity game to the limit. All the
technical testimony regarding the iden-
tity of the wood used in the ladder with
that taken from Hauptmann's dwelling
is brushed aside. If Means were taken
to court and questioned as to the manner
in which he fashioned the ladder he
would doubtless tell another tale as ex-
traordinary as the first and as little to
be believed.
Means is psycopathic case. He must
have attention. He must be in the light
of public notice. He must figure as the
extraordinary person. His record Of
mendacity is long and condemning. He
is simply the Baron Munchausen Of the
twentieth century.

Jury Service.

The Court of Appeals decision on the
eligibility Of Government employees to
serve on petit juries Is more important
in its longtime effect, If sustained by
the United States Supreme Court, than
in its effect on recent trials. The de-
cision, it is true, offers possible recourse
to writs Of habeas corpus by those now
serving sentences as the result Of trials
by juries on which Government employees
served. The test of such a writ is ex-
pected today. But unless an appeal was
entered at the time and exceptions
noted on the ground that the trial jury
contained Government employees, it is
improbable that retrial Of cases already
disposed of will be brought about. Nor
does the decision apply specifically to
indictments returned by grand juries on
which Government employees served.
That point may be raised, with the de-
cision in mind, but Is yet to be settled.
Reindictments may be necessary.
The longtime effect of the decision is
to bar definitely from petit jury service,
and possibly grand jury service, any en-
ploye of the Government and even those
with direct connections with the Gov
ernment. In this respect the decision re-
turns the condition prevailing before
enactment last August of the amended
law relating to jury service. which, with
some exceptions. permitted jury service
by Government employees. The law was
passed in recognition of the situation
prevailing in Washington in which as
many as 100000 citizens, an exception
ally large proportion, are barred from
jury service. Such condition increases
the dif1iculty of selecting eligibles for
jury service, bars great number Of
highly eligible citizens from this form
of public duty.
The Court of Appeals decision, invali-
dating that law for the time being, notes
the Constitutions guarantee of trial by
an Impartial jury and cites the COM
mon-law rule barring an employer or
employe from service on an impartial
jury trying an employer or employe. The
Government is an employer, and, in
criminal cases, is directly involved in pro-
ceedings against the defendant. Thus a
jury containing employees of the prose-
cutting Government is not impartial, un-
der the common-law meaning, no matter
how impartial it might be as q matter
Of fact.

Americas Munchausen.

In all the records of crime in America
there is no figure so fantastic as that OF
CASTOR Means. This strange creature,
insatiate for notoriety, has figured so
often in the annals of crime that he is
now byword of brazen effrontery and
audacity. His latest performance has
brought him forth again to view as the
champion claimant for attention. In
carcerated in prison for a fraud in con-
nection with the well-meant efforts of
q woman of high social position to rescue
the kidnapped Lindbergh child, he now
declares that he and not the miserable
man who is awaiting capital punishment
for this crime was the kidnaper. His
claim-if confession can be so styled-iS,
of course, rejected. 1t is not in the
slightest degree plausible. Whether
Hauptmann is guilty, as the court in
New Jersey has declared, or is innocent,
as he continues to maintain, with the
official cooperation of the Governor Of
the State, the confession of the convict
at Leavenworth is not to be regarded for
a moment as in the least degree likely.
His reputation as monumental pre-
varicator and his disposition as seeker
for attention completely discount his
effort.
It was merely a coincidence that
simultaneously with the latest develop
ment in the Hauptmann case, the per-
senal visit Of the Governor of New Jersey

ridian of life, individuals on occasion
are surprised to discover that they take
pleasure in values which by no stretch
of the imagination can be considered
modern. Perhaps a certain spiritual
coming Of age" is involved. Thus it
happened in a Chevy Chase home the
other evening that a father protested
when his daughter tuned out" a discus
sion of training camp base ball. why,
dad!" cried the girl, II never dreamed
that you were interested in that sort
Of thing!' To which the answer, some
what apologetically given, was: II didn't
use to be, but am now." Mother glanced
up with a question in her eyes. Then
she smiled. remembering an incident Of
goodness knows how many years ago.
Old books need not be sorrowful; they
will be read again. Old music, too, is
not apt to be forever forgotten. And old
friends-what a JOY it is to join in that
curious form of conversational arche-
ology which excavates undying impress
sions of the walrus whiskers of Uncle
Hen and the hustle and "rat" Of Aunt
Liz! Generous charity musters a
golden haze around such relics Of the
past, and out Of it comes a tolerance
which is helpful in the present. Hence,
the mellowness, the gentle and whimsical
hberality with which a numerous COM
pany of oldsters regard current follies.
They possess philosophical appreciation
of what the passing decades do with
novelty; they understand that all that
now is old once was new and that all
that now is new will shortly be old.
Processes OF refinement are operative,
and no power on earth is competent to
halt them. The principle, when compre-
hended, is encouraging. 1t suggests hope
to those who are puzzled, perhaps hurt,
by carnival Of experimental change.
