there Is one clear truth learned from the

cause Of that catastrophe was the lack OF

more goods, but wage-earners and small
Salary-workers' incomes did not rise
proportionately, so that the nation could
not buy what 1t produced and an
economic log-jam developed.
The federal government, accepting this
theory, has gone to extreme lengths to
restore consumers buying power. Now
industry is making a huge contribution
to the same end. # the economists are
right, this Is the way to restore prosperity
and to preserve It when 1t Is restored.
Good morals and good business may go

Better Manners

The police drive against motorists who,
placed behind the wheel Of car, lose all
sense Of responsibility and any ideas they
may have Of courtesy seems to be having
an effect. We actually saw driver stop
at O "stop" sign the other day. While
we don't want to give the impression that
this Is rare thing in Waterbury, still
these signs are ignored so often that we
look twice when we see somebody besides
ourselves making the complete stop that
the sign calls for.
In good many cities violation Of such
orders means a prompt ticket from an
officer If you are detected. In Washing
ton, D. c., the police are particularly
yigilant against motorists who come out
Of streets without hating for the "stop"
signs The same Is true In other cities,
also. In. time, perhaps. Waterbury will
be Just as tough" on the violators. No
doubt with the newly-created accident
squad on the job all the various petty
violations will be checked.
If Waterbury really is earnest about
getting lower automobile insurance rates,
here is the best start in the world. If we
can cut down the number Of accidents
and near accidents materially, which
certainly will come about with more at
tention to signs, and signals, and police
patrols, then we are going to cut down
the number of claims and the amounts
that are paid out by insurance companies
on claims. And when this happy state OF
affairs has been arrived at, we will reap
the benefits in lower rates. It's worth
the serious attention Of every driver In
town.

While nothing is being said about 1t In
the press, 1t is still rumored about the
state that when our state legislators re-
convene on November 80 for the purpose
of arguing the merits Of an unemploy-
ment insurance bill that there will be
other legislation proposed This viii be
of these measures. They will stand far
more chance of putting them across at
the 1887 session than at this special one.
And they should not lose sight OF the
fact that the special session was called
by Governor Cross only after serious
thought and when 1t was obvious that
the state to protect its own interests
should have a law permitting 1t to share
in federal social security grants. any
thing that conflicts with the accomplish
ment of this purpose shouldn't get much
legislative attention. The only other
"must" facing the special session was to
change the date Of the meeting Of presl-
Dental electors to conform with new
federal dates of congressional sessions
and presidential inaugurations.

This Is the season Of the year when city
fathers commence the puzzlesome task
OF estimating how much money is going
to be required to finance the cost of
operation Of the city government in the
year to come. Like all other businesses
much depends on circumstances over
which those who make up budget OF
expenditures and income have no con-
troll. Here in Waterbury this has been
proved true in the last five or six years.
No more hazardous financial period was
passed through by Waterbury than this
last one from which we hope and believe
that the city in company with other
American ones has finally emerged.
We may expect shortly that the Board
Of Finance Commissioners will submit to
the Board of Aldermen It's expectations
for 1887. It has received and will con-
tinue to receive during the coming few
days departmental budgets. These may
be taken apart and put together again.
The final report may be expected to win
approval Of the aldermen as 1t has in the
past. OF one thing waterbury has been
reliably certain in recent years; It's
Finance Board has shrewdly, conscien-
tiously, and humanely endeavored to keep
the city on even keel, yet maintain civic
progress and pride.
There Is discussion in many circles
about further tax reductions, such as the
Hayes administration has managed to
bring about by careful management and
"a ka lot Nota 20
are DESTROYS Of drop In the rate from
its 1885 level of $3.50. We don't doubt
but that II humanity possible a reduction
will be affected. But we must not lose
sight Of the fact that many city employees
have not had restored to them pay cuts
instituted during the depression months.
Part has been restored, but not all. It Is
important to reach the former salary
levels.
Many things make us believe that IN
the next few years Waterbury will 60 far
In bringing It's tax rate down lower, see
its grand list mount again, insure city
workers Of full pay with no enforced re-
auctions. First Of all we must point to
the fact that tax collections are much
better. In 1885 81 per cent Of the city's
total income was collected. This mark
should be surpassed in 1886, for to date
the total tax collection percentage Is 80
which compares quite favorably with an
SO per cent collection at this same time
one year ago. Other factors should
encourage our city fathers, notably better
business conditions and pretty we'll
founded conviction, not suspicion, that
by the end Of 1887 we'll be in the midst
OF building boom and general pros
perity that the United States has not
seen in some time. Our city fathers can
proceed to their tasks with the full
knowledge that much lies ahead on which
they can reasonably base their plans.

New Bridge System
That Is Different
(BY BRUCE CATION

Every bridge player knows that
there are more than enough So
called systems TO confuse even the
expert at the game. 90 when an
other method Of bidding ana play
ls added to the list, you can expect
o general raising Of hands and
shaking Of heads.
But, as Ed Wynn would say, the
latest proposed system Is differ
ent." It's called the "Bissell sys.
tenn" COLUMBIA University Press,)
Harold w. Bissell, and Is based
on distribution rather than high
card count.
In his book, "The BIssell sys-
tenn" columbia University Press,
$2.26), the author first points out
the follies. Of depending merely
on high card valuation for deter
mining o contract, and then goes
Into o detailed and rather COM
plicated explanation Of his own
methods.
Bissell bases his appraisals Of
bidding values on whether o hand
Is q "one.suiter," o "two-su!ter,"
q "three' or O 'four-suiter," and
establishes arbitrary first bids To
relay such information TO partner.
In the case OF the one.suiter,
one Of the long suit Is bid. For O
two-suiter, the bid Is one club;
for O three-suiter, one diamond:
and four-suiter takes O natural
one no trump bid.
Of course, there are further
rules for responses and continual
ton Of bids, and there "a O new
appraisal OF card values not much
unlike that used In auction bridge.
This book should be valuable
to contract bridge players II only
for Ito dissection and study Of the
great number Of playing hands
that Bissell presents.-1. 8. X.

Ruthlessness in Ethiopia.

The destruction of Swedish hospital
unit in Ethiopia by Italian bombers has
aroused intense indignation at Stock
holm and protest will be sent to the In
ternational Red Cross, at Geneva, de-
manding an investigation. Meanwhile
feeling at the Swedish capital is so bitter
that a police guard has been placed
around the Italian legation to prevent
violent demonstrations. According to
dispatches, nine Swedes and twenty
three Ethiopians composing the unit are
reported killed.
This Is the second time that Italian
bombs have been dropped upon hospitals
in Ethiopia, the first being an American
missionary unit, the roof of the hospital
bearing the flag of this country.
These Incidents so frequent during
the Great War, were excused by the per-
petrators on the ground that it is impos-
sible in the bombing Of an enemy terrain
to avoid hitting supposedly exempt es-:
tablishments. But In Ethiopia. where
there is no dense concentration Of popu-
lation or of structures, there would seem
to be no excuse whatever. The destruc-
