Editor, Tall Tower Topics: I've noticed quite bit in your paper this year and other years about promscuous dumping of rubbish in vacant lots around the city "a like to call attention the fact that somebody is doing just what you complain about up Fairmount Street And if that isn't bad enough the place where all this u- during the winter in peoples cellars, is dumped right next to public school-Mulcahy. I suppose people can't be blamed much for doing this but it does seem to me something should be done about letting it become
 general habit Of recent years there has been an ever increasing tendency the part of many people to take the easiest way out of getting rid of all the trash that ac cnuates in their homes their stores Instead of pay ing somebody to cart it away, they'll usually put it in boxes and barrels and then lug it away nder cover of darkness usuay) to spot where they've others probably emptyng basket of And that's just the beginning of procession of others who follow suit should be stopped.

YOUNG DEMOCRATS FORM lOS CLUBS
200 Per Cent Increase in Six Weeks Reported By
 Executive Committee

Members of the executive corn- mittee of the Connecticut Young Democrats will meet next Weunes- day to discuss plans for the state convention of the organization scheduled to take place in this city on April 18th. The committee was scheduled to meet last night in Derby but the session was post poned because several members could not atetnd due to closed roads caused by floods. The place of the meeting next Wednesday is yet to be announced.
 Wednesday was the last day for organizing new clubs. That IS, clubs that can have delegations at the state conventoin. According to of- ficials of the Young Democrats, the state organization now has 108 clubs with an approximate membership of 15,000. This means that about 800 delegates will be seated at the con- vention.
 Six weeks ago the committees publicity agent announced the ex- istence of 36 clubs in the state. It is apparent that some extra work has been carried on by organizers.

WATER!
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

Water, water, everywhere, More than you'd ever think, Rampaging with widest fury On and over the brink! Every single little stream Has reached such proportions, And in each furious journey Undergone some awful contortions. Big and little rivers, Every brook and stream, Higher and ever higher, Sounding out roaring theme Hurtling along in their paths Bridges, houses and trees, The erstwhile peaceful rivers Have the fury of tempestuous seas. Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink, Leaving in It's path wreckage More than you'd ever thinkl

Sounds like Waterbury. Rev. Dr. John R. Ever of Pittsburgh writing in the March issue of Christian Century penned interesting article on Sunday evening attendances which, in my humble estimation, hits home Dr. Ever wrote in part, "On all sides I am hearing pastors ask whether evening services shall be abandoned They at their wits end One of our largest churches possessing magnificent choir and beautiful building of these were older people who from sense of duty Was it worth the effort? Are people staying home to Do people want the Sunday evening with their children and they do anything for the children when they stay at home? Is pure inertia which keeps people by the warm fires and in the soft chairs? Would it not be better put all Of the emphasis into the morning wor- ship and devote the evening to quiet evenings with the young people of the parish?

Chicago Grains

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S. UP)-Fairly
heavy commission house selling,
particularly in May, carried the
wheat market fractionally lower to-
day and other grains followed suit.
Wheat closed "a to B cent a bushel
lower. with May the weakest corn
was z to Y cent lower, oats Il to 4
cent bushel lower while rye futures
were mixed, September gaining q
cent.
There was little to account for the
persistent selling of May wheat
against privileges by commission
houses, Liverpool and Winnipeg
markets were closed because of the
funeral of King George V, and 9th er
foreign markets had a dull and nerv-
Gus tone. Some light absorption de-
veloped by demand from eastern op-
orators and mill interests to give the
market a fair base to absorb the
commission house selling. Mixed for
eign crop news tended to discourage
any commit ments.
