things to be known before foster parents
should assume the responsibility for the
care of a young child, or before the child's
custodians should allow him to be placed
in strange home.
Those of US interested in children, and
in parents, wish that science knew more
about the potential qualities and possible
defects in newborn babies. But we have
made some progress during the last quarter
of century, and can now answer some of
the most vital questions that foster parents
should ask.
Before child is adopted effort should
be made to learn as much as possible about
the baby's ancestors. Examinations should
be made, too, to determine if the child's
body is straight, and if his eyesight and
hearing are normal.
Foster parents should know whether the
child has a mental disease or mental de-

COLONY STAND
S|DESTEPPED
BY BRITAIN

LONDON, April % U.N.S0.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
during questioning in the House
of Commons today. declined to
pledge his government to refrain
from considering returning her
inundated colonies to Germany.
Baldwin did state that Britain
has not considered and is not now
considering the question of return
ing any of Germany'S pre-war
territories now under British man.
date. This was in reply to a sug-
gestion of Godfrey Mander. lib
eral leader, that Britain had ex-
pressed a willingness to do this
under certain conditions.
Sidesteps Promise
Then, amid cheers, Mander
proposed the government should
give q promise not to consider
the question in the future, but
Baldwin declined to accept the
proposal, sidestepping by stating
he was not dealing with the fu-
ture, but only with Mander's pre-
vious question as it appeared on
the order paper.
Britain has a mandate over
Tanganyika, or German East
Africa, which has been most prom
inently mentioned for return to
Germany of all the Reich's pre-
war colonies. It is by far the
largest and wealthiest of them.
Britain also exercises a man
date over southwest Africa, next
largest of Germany's former col
onies, and several smaller terri
tories.
The plea for a return Of former
colonies has been growing in Ger
many lately, and some observers
expect an effort to regain some
of them may be among the Reich'S
next international moves.

MANY FAILED TO
 PAY OLD AGE TAX
Warrants Will Be Issued For Delinquents-7,5OO
 Are on List

Tho City of Waterbury was today prepared to begin the serving Of werrentS for the arrest of those who failed to pay their old ago assists anee taxes for iD38. Under tho law paased by tho last session of the General Assembly, all persons eligi' ble must pay the tax, and those who fail or refuse to pay can be arrested and fined or jailed.
 There are approximately 7600 Wa torburianS who have neglected to pay the tax, and though the city has already collected moro than It's state quota of $i3i, ,000 there is still some $30000 remaining to be collected, Previous press reports that only 2,000 local persons were delinquent in paying the old age assistance tax and that only approximately $7b00 was duo the city, were on error,
 Other Cities Have Acted
 Several cities In the state have al. ready haled many of the delinquents into court. Tn New Haven there has been Q vigorous campaign for collection, and hundreds of warrants have been served on Elm City rcs- identS. The last day of grace was August 1.
 Those who paid after the original 90 days period had to pay Q penalty of $i in addition to tho regular tax of @. All those who pay before the warrants are served will have to pay the $4 total.
 Tax Collector William Ennis has delayed the preparation of the lists of delinquents and the actual serV- ing of warrants to allow more time to the laggards, but with the 1857 tax notices duo in only Q few months, e determined campaign for 100 per cent collection will be un- derway shortly. Presuming that many of the 7500 delinquents are unable to pay or can secure abate- ments, the city still stands to realize at least $2O000 more In old age assistance taxes.

 Obey Party Rules

A ticket of delegates to the 18th senatorial convention, submitted by Attorney John P. Tobin, c leader of tho independent democratic party movement last year, was rejected by the democratic town committee last night as the group sat in session to accept primary tickets. Failure to comply with party rules was the reason given for the rejection of the Tobin ticket, and the commit tees refusal to accept the slate left the regular party ticket the only one submitted and means that Mon- days primary election will be only q formality and makes unnecessary city-wide primary balloting. A single ballot for the regular party ticket will be cast at party headquarters Monday night.
 The ticket lists delegates for state, congressional, probate, town and senatorial conventions. Among those named are Mayor Frank Hayes, Controller Daniel J. Leary, Chairman J. Francis Smith of the state central committe, Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor and other party leaders.
