Tuesday, July 7, 1885

Tuesday morning we got up at
100 O'Clock. AS soon as everything
was packed we set out, our destina-
ton being some place near Mt.
Washington. On the way, we stopped
at Lake Chocurna for swim and
dinner. After dinner we "hit the
road" again, and didn't stop until
we reached Crawford Notch. Here !
took my first pictures. Our next stop
wasn't until we reached the Zealand
Forest Camp In the National Park
just past Breton Woods. AS we had
arrived about 500 p. m. there was
time for little horseshoe and ball
playing before supper. The time
after supper before campfire, was
spent for the most part In writing.
Campfire then followed, and we re-
tired at 1000 p. m.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-10

Visibility was very poor, and the
mountains were yelled in clouds. We
arrived in Peekskill just in time to
go to church. After Mass we ate in
restaurant in Peekskill, N. Y. On
the road again after breakfast We
left Peekskill at $3.50. An hour la
ter, at 1885 to be exact we crossed
once more over a state line, this
time back into Connecticut. Lunch
was served at Lake Zoar and we
arrived back in Waterbury at 200
P. M.
We all realized then, to our Sor-
row, that we had come to the end
of our trip, the most wonderful
thing I've ever experienced trip
which I, and I know all the others,
will never forget.

Friday. July II. 1875

Friday, in order to get a good
start, we got UP early. At $40 A. M
we were ON the road again. We
stopped for dinner along the Finger
Lake region. We rode along the
whole length of Lake Seneca where
we visited Watkins Glen. The Glen
Is another very beautiful spot, and
good deal Of time was spent hik-
ing through 1t. Two hundred and
twenty-five miles were covered be-
fore we reached the Chenango State
Park. This park was the most ideal
spot for camping on the whole trip.
We even had platforms on which
to put our tents. The place In which
we went swimming had several div
ing boards and chute going into
the water. Most Of us spent the
greater part Of the time going down
the chute. Although the campfire
was short, everyone enjoyed 1t, and
we retired early.

the charge had been leSsened to

The board of commissioners

The reason given was that "the

Police Commissioner Vintor1 D.

the grand jury had failed to re-

CONSEQUENCES UNCLEAR

The consequences cannot be as sessed, of course, until the battle over the nomination has proceeded much farther.
 It is quite apparent that the sup porters of Mir Landon are seeking to establish him as the candidate of the West--a section where both MT. Hoover and MT. Borah reside. They have not encouraged open declaration for him among the Eastern leaders.
 Wanting the nomination himself, it is understandable that MT. Borah should be against any candidate who took an early lead in the num- Der of instructed delegates. The question still unanswered, however, is how far he is prepared to go with his opposition, in the conven- tion itself, if his own candidacy fails.
 MT Hoover is in a somewhat diff fcrent position. He has hinted that he is not a candidate, but he never has disavowed a desire to have something to say about the nom ination. Some of his friends believe the real key to his position is long cherished determination not to let the party fall into the hands of the Eastern old-timers, several of whom have volunteered approv- ing word about Governor Landon.
 Is it possible that, after all, MT. Hoover and Borah look upon them selves as much nearer together than the public supposes, bound by the all-important spiritual tie of a com mon opposition to the old guard

BONUS BOUGHT PROPERTY I AK
 EXEMPT, PT,RULINC
N. Y. Commission Decides Vets Need Not Pay Lien
 on Real Estate

NEW YORK CITY, May B. War veterans who elect to invest the procee s from their bonus bonds in either home or business properties in this State will be exempt from State, county, and general municipal taxation, accord ing to a recent ruling by the Tax Commission.
 The decision was reached after series of inquiries had been received on the matter. The American Le- zion, which is vitally interested in having it's members invest their bonus money in sound projects, promoted the inquiries. A recent questionnaire sent to 42,O00 veterans revealed that 25 per cent of them intend to invest their bonus pro- ceeds in building new homes or modernizing their present ones. A large majority indicated their in- tention of financing homes under the Single Mortgage System or making improvements on the Mod ernization Credit Plan of the Fed eral Housing Administration.
 Deputy Tax Commissioner Daniel R. Spratt wrote Maurice Stember, Department Adjutant of the Am erican Legion, that the commission had ruled that real property pur- chased with the proceeds of bonds to be issued in settlement of the veterans adjusted d-compensation claims comes within the provisions of the tax law which provides for exemption from real-estate taxes up to the amount of money invest ed in property which is the pro- ceeds of bonus, a pension, or insurance paid by the United States Government. Application for this exemption must be made at the local tax office.

Short Crop Talk Increases Wheat
 Price in France

PARIS, France, May 8-France, which normally produces just enough wheat to supply bread for her 40,000,000 citizens, may have to import part of her needs next year, for both the wheat carry-over and crop. forecasts are low.
 The mild and extremely wet win ter, unfavorable for winter wheat, which comprises the greater part of the country's crop, is expected by agricultural forecasters to reduce the total yield even below last years low output of 76,0O0,000 quintals about 278,o00,000 bushels). A 75,- 100000 quintal crop is probable.
 Wheat prices, no longer ulrectly regulated by law, have been rising rapidly in anticipation of the short age. The price jumped from 70 francs quintal last August to 1O4 francs quintal-the equivalent of S188 a bushel-in March.
 Trade circles regard it unlikely that the United States will get any of the business if it is necessary to import wheat.

Nothing else thus far in the Re- publican pre-conVention campaign has caused more comment than the spectacle of certain friends of Her bert Hoover standing shoulder to shoulder with certain friends of William E Borah across the path way of the Landon boom.
 For months MT. Hoover and MT. Borah have been looked upon by a large section of the public as sym bolizing entirely opposite and pos sibly irreconcilable wings Of Repub- lican thought
 Whatever the principals them selves may have been thinking, the impression among some of their followers has gone even farther than that.
 The Borah people have supposed that whatever MT Hoover did in the campaign would be tinged with hope that the Borah influence would be, thereby, held in check. Similarly, the Hoover people have felt that whatever MT. Borah did would be directed largely against return to the Hoover leadership.
 Under these circumstances, it has been taken for granted that in every important party movement, the two would be found on opposite sides of the fence. That is what attracts so much attention to the current sit uation with respect to Governor Landon.

Campbe|I's Marks Are Challenged by
 J. s. Racers, Utah

LOS ANGELES, May 8.-An at- tempt to bring some titles back to America will take Harlan Fengler and Lou Moore, auto racing driv- CTS, to the salt flats of Bonneville, Utah, next June
 It's a campaign against the Brit ish.
 Fengler and Moore are going after Sir Malcolm Campbell's record for one mile, which he set last September. in his Bluebird, and after the 24-hour distance record held by Captain George Eyston of England
 The Americans car is a 350O- pound aluminium monster, black, streamlined to the ultimate degree, and to be powered with a 675- horsepower motor. Fengler believes the latter will push the big buggy over the salt flats at better than 300 miles an hour.
 Campbell's record was 3O1 .33 miles, the computed average of two runs over a measured mile. On one trip, he was locked at 304.311 cross ing the mile in 1183 seconds.
 Captain Eyston averaged 140 miles an hour for "A hours
 The car the American pair will drive was built in Fengler's auto motive shop from designs by Ar hold Gillespie, who designs movie studio sets It is 26 feet, two inches long, ana like Campbell's Bluebird has a large dorsal fin and tele- scopic sights. It is called the Fall con.

Landon Strength May Bring

that course collided forcibly with plans of the Landon workers.
 In his own State of California, MT. Hoover's political associates have actively opposed a Landon- pledged slate of delegates. When it appeared that three-way primary battle would split the opposition to the Landon slate, MT Borah stayed out of California, leaving the field to the HooveriteS.
 The inside story about these de- velopmnts is not available. There always is the danger that some of the implications may not be war ranted Yet such facts as do appear speak for themselves.

LONDON, May 8.-Growing belief exists in England that the political days of Stanley Baldwin, the Prime Minister and No. l man in the British Government, are numbered.
 Responsible political circles are convinced that Neville Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Exchequer, is be- ing groomed as his successor.
 Any actual move to restore Bald win to private life is, however, be- lieved six months or a year away.
 But when it comes, competent ob- servers believe, the upheaval is cer- tain to bring Sir Samuel Hoare, scapegoat of the Hoare-Laval epi- sode, back to the Cabinet with more prestige than ever.
 Baldwin recently has been the target of developing political at tacks which claim wide backing in the House of Commons, including factions which hitherto frequently have supported the Prime Minister.
 Critics Call Him Unsafe"
 Not only is it being charged that Baldwin failed to realize the need for national defense, taking refuge in procrastination, but also his ap- pointment of Sir Thomas Inskip as Minister for Coordination of Ma tional Defense. prompted an out burst of open criticism.
 In a bitterly -worded editorial the independent Observer wrote that there can be no safety in depend ence upon him. To his habit of pro crastination, especially in supposed matters of urgency, a thousand years are but day"
 Tory criticism of the Inskip ap- pointment was especially marked.
 Most challenging was the attack of Sir Austen Chamberlain, ultra conservative former Foreign Secre- tary and brother of Neville.

NO DIRECT STATEMENTS

It should be borne in mind that neither MT. Hoover nor MT. Borah has spoken out directly against MT. Landon-has made any attack on him, or pronounced him inaccept- able as Presidential candidate.
 Yet the physical facts, as they have developed in various import ant sectors, are as much a part of the story as anything which might have been said or left unsaid by either the former President or the Senator from Idaho
 Not only have some of the Borah lieutenants openly accused MT. Lan- don of being the candidate of cer- tain financial interests, but MT. Borah himself has pressed his can didacy vigorously in States where

: Tn the defense debate, Sir Austen rebuked Baldwin for his errors of judgment; while the Inskip ap- pointment brought further stinging remarks from the powerful con- servative who thought Winston Churchill should have had the new ministerial job.
 Baldwin Apologies Cited
 Britain, stated Sir Austen, was justified in I'd m a n ndi ing great changes, and evidence that every thing is being done to prevent the continuance or recurrence of such errors as those for which the Prime Minister has twice within the last two years asked the pardon of the House"
 He referred to Baldwins apologies for misjudging the speed and dan ger of German rearmament and the abortive Hoare-Laval plan for end ing the Italian Ethiopian war
 Young conservatives, to whom Baldwin long has been a hero, are understood to be losing confidence in him, and feel that he should make way for younger man with better grasp on foreign affairs.
 Members of Parliament recently have noticed an amazing change in the stocky Prime Minister who took over his office from the aging hand of Ramsay Mcdonald less than a year ago. It was his third time in the post, he having served previous ly from 1923 to 1924 and from 1924 to 1929.
 Veterans Nerves Gone?
 Baldwin, they say, appears a vic- tim of nerves in the rising clash and importance of international re- lation, of which he admittedly is no master. His forte is domestic relations, in keeping with his role as an English squire and farmer, a fact of which he repeatedly boasts.
