WASTE IN CHEAP
MANAGEMENT HIT
Realty Engineer Cites Case
in Chicago to Prove High

Real estate is the safest investment
in the world, but cheap management

annually" So says w. G. Ruggles,

engineers, in the current issue OF the
Journal OF Real Estate Management,
published by the National Association

Adequate maintenance has an I'M

value in turn Affects mortgage and
insurance value. Property made
ouately maintained has to have de

thus cutting down the mortgage and
insurance value. Property made

receipts and With costs of operation

affects the investment with its income

tains physical value, thus mortgage

 Some of 1t goes to college, but Q good many of the better players have no opportunity to make the long jump to the major leagues by means of the stepping stone that smaller professional clubs afford
 Presumably a large body of fans in these six cities of Massachusetts and Connecticut would leap at the chance to get behind e league they could call their own. Minor leagues are popular in other sections of tho country. What is to deny one here in New England, where baseball is 6 major Sportp ,. rs
 It takes good organization and outstanding players to give Q minor league club the importance that it needs to be successful. The major leagues are willing to lend their backing If they feel sure the smaller league Is of sutflcient caliber to yield them c return In the form oftplay.
 CTS they can use. The fans want to feel confident that standards will be high and that there will be no shen. arligans by those who control the league. Once Q team wins such pop- ularity that its followers resemble the well known rooter of the Nett work minor league club who Is al. ways ready to argue that his team con beat any major league club it is successful. Here's hoping Hartford has Q ball club next yeEr. If it does, we're sure it'll be good enough to beat the Giants. .Hv ,%

Darragh deLancey

Darragh deLancey, industrial engl- neer, sculptor, and highly honored citi- zen of Waterbury for something over thirty years, during his lifetime here served his city well. He came here m 1905, an untiring worker in his profes- sion, becoming an important figure m industrial, civic and social life. At the commencement of the World War, ne came into prominence for his assistance on the draft board, and his subsequent war work both here and in Washlngton was notable.
 Before coming to Waterbury MT. deLancey had distinguished himself in several fields of endeavor outstanding being his activity in the building of the original plant at Kodak Park in New York state. In addition to his profes- sion as an engineer he was also a man of artistic ability. He was sculptor or note and some of his work recelVeo mention from the BeauX Arts 1nstltute of Design in New York.
 MT. deLancey was gentleman Of refined tastes and had great apprecla- ton of the arts. He was unassumlng and not aggressive, had the high opln- ion of those he came to live among in this city. His death is loss to the city he chose to make his home. Following his war activities he returned to this city, working principally at sculpture, HIS passing will be deeply felt by his family his friends and the City Of waterbury,

We'll Deserved Tribute

The high esteem in which the Rev. Joseph Valdambrini Is held not only m this city but throughout the state was amply testified to last night when he was guest of honor at testimonial banquet Reld on the occasion of the 18th anni- versary of his pastorate in waterbury. A good many people still recall when Father Valdambrini came here in 1912. Iney remember the same kindly face, the same distinguished carriage, the same mixture of worldly wisdom and piety of heart ana mind that was his then and is still ms today.
 Any testimonial to the pastor of our Lady of Lourdes Church would have 10 be one appealing to people from all walks of life and from all creeds Father val danbrini was not merely a pastor or Roman Catholic church in this city; ne was very much a whole-hearted cltlzen ready and willing at all times to con tribute his knowledge or his strength to whatever undertaking might be assigned him. He was called on many occasions and never was found wanting. His serV- ice to the community to which he was sent has been valuable.
 He has been a good pastor ana snep- herd of his flock. He has seen the one Italian Catholic church in Waterpuly become three. He has watched the many changes occur in this city of his adoption, but he has never changed in his unfaillng duty to God and to country. He has been loyal to both and in such loyalty has won to himself the overwhelming circle or friends that are his.

 Just the same the presidential tone was good and we are inclined to believe that his words will accelerate seasonal pickup in business and may be the means towards changing the present pessimistic course of trade.

Better Lie Low

If the Duke of Windor is wise in the ways of man he will take his Duchess and hie himself shortly to parts unknown Tar from the ken of inquiring persons. Notn- ing has detracted more from his one- time democratic personality than his per SiStent appearance in newspaper heao- lines in the past six or more months. It may not be his intention to "hog" the headlines and to focus world attention upon himself and his bride, but It mas been done.
 He has always been democratic sort of chap and we don't think any of the events that started last year just about this time and continued right up to his marriage have changed him one bit But sooner or later he is going to react to what is taking place around him and to the advice and criticism he is hearing. And once that happens the Duke will never regain the general esteem he now holds. It was strained to the breaking point by his recent indecision on Vislt to the United States.
 Sooner or later the Duke and Duchess will come to this country and be properly received. But they will accomplish a successful trip here only if they bring 1t about themselves and don't allow press agents and special representatives to make the arrangements. What the Duke should do right now is drop out of sight. When he and the Duchess emerge they will find a real royal welcome awaiting them. After all even an eX-king must re- member that his were glories and are no longer.

There was one thing overlooked by members of the 1887 General Assembly when they met last week at Hartford for a fun session. Here 1t is five months since the law-making period ended. Dur ing the several months the lawmakers were together some harsh remarks were passed back and forth. There was a tre- mendous lot of detail work necessary for the numerous acts, bills, and resolutions that were passed and approved by the governor. When all the rigmarole ot iegislating is over and peace has descend ed comes also different point of view. Legislators see themselves as others see them. Matters that loom as important when legislative sessions open become trivial; other matters seen as of little importance loom large. It is at the post. session conflabs that much good could be accomplished. We have no desire to in1- pose extra-curricular duties on legisla- tors, but we do think that much could be done after the session ends and before the new one begins to make the latter prove more productive of benefits to the state at large and not just the individual or the political party.

putes are now in progress. These are not the New Deals fault, but 1t is getting the blame. Here they are: 70
 1. The Peru. Ecuador Boundary Commission has been sitting in Washington for exactly one year and two months. During this time 1t has not even agreed on what shall be the area to be arbf- trated., All the commission has accomplished has been to give American schooling to the chile dren of the commissioners.
 9. Nicaragua and Honduras are irflamed over an old boundary dispute, which flared again when Nicaragua included the disputed area on a new postage stamp. Ex.' Secretary Sttnson and others tried to settle this, but failed. | 3. Trouble between Haiti and the Dominican Republic has caused the Ynurderof from 1000 to 5000 Haitians recently.

 The story. which S made up of almost equal parts of romance, in- trigue and adventure, centerS around Q young German noblernan of today.

 The novel follows Prince Ludwig in his flight from Germany, hie coirageous return to save c friend, his escape to England and the new life he made for himself in London.

Of Once More

Washington is overrun with legislators today. No one knows how long they Will be there, but there is every reason to Dc- iieve that following President Franklin D. Roosevelt's message yesterday the special session may run right into the regular session scheduled to open m January. If the congressman get out or Washington for Christmas 1t will be just to join their families for turkey din- ner. They'll be back at work In shorE order.
 President Roosevelt laid down a four way program for development at this special session. One point that he brought out when he announced the cal! for a special session was omitted but IS expected to be developed little later. This was the entrance of private capital in the housing field which is supposed to be boomed to the skies as means Of en- couraging business all through the r1a- ton. For a long time national housing has been tossed hither and thither US about time something really definite was done about 1t.
 The President however, wants Con- Rress right now to stem the tide of indus trial production recession, noticeable right now. He thinks this can be done in a natural manner and without recourse to extraordinary means. He sees as vital right now legislation taking care of the farmer; a wage-hours bill that will not upset the nation but will lead to closer understanding of the mutual problems of capital and labor; complete govern mental reorganization; and regional planning. That's big order for a spe- cial session of Congress and we doubt II

Waterbury's stir over teachers who live out of town, but teach here is but an echo of the fierce dispute that occurred in New Haven some years ago. City fathers started to check up on their employees and discovered that too many of them were taxpayers in nearby towns This was true, too, in the case of fremen and po- licemen, employees who are subject to emergency calls. The local issue, too, has had Its counterpart in the campaigns conducted in many communities against married women continuing to serve as teachers

New York, Nov. le-The night clubs are going to the dogs. And, in turn, having the dogs come to them Our canine friends, at long last, are being asked to heave ho! toward the smarter bars and have a snitter when they can. And, in truth, they are getting preference over the strange folk at the other end of the leash. s4
 The first of the oases, 1t might surprise you to know, that has hung out the shingle of hospital ity toward Fido Is Jack Dcmp-. sey's elegant bar and grill. And the Manassa Mauler Himself voluii- tecred as host to motley spanicls, terriers, daschshunds, pofneraniaias, ct al. EriN,e
 Nor is that all, friends. In the way of the dogs new deal. The bartender at Jack Denlpsey's place has tinkered about with 6 cocktail formula for our four footed pets. He will not divulge the recipe, for reasons of hiS own, though q certain black scot- tie harried him about it the other night. But it was c case of barking up the wrong tree; he wouldn't tell. te' .A.
 Anyway, 1t Is this potion that is being served to the canine world at Dempsey's place during a formal cocktail party, rendered by the Bide.a-Wee Home. It bears tho name ot the Woof- Woof. And verily,E its bari; Is worse than It's bite. ...
 Other signs of devotion to Manhattan's dogs are being shown at one spot that goes by the dallic name of Le Mirage, This place now conducts Sunday night Dog Shows and admits both pet and master to the ring side tables. And if that coquet- tish Spitz in the corner consents to do c rhurnha with the wolf hound on the other side of the room, the management doesn't mind. Nor is the doornan dis- criminatory about whom he ad- mits. A mutt is as good as c mile of dachshund, as for as he is concerned. z Haunts of Unstarred
 When you read of stage and screen stars congregating so- cialiy, they are lowering about the luncheon tables of the AL gonquin or the lower floor of "2l," but you hear little from Manhattan scriveners about Ralph'A Bar 6 Grill, the place where the stars supporting players get togeth- CT. Ralph,s gets little trade from the stellar performers whose names are strung up in the biggest electric lights. But it Is faithfully patronized by showfolk who gre oii their way to stardoTn.

Previous records do not furnish too pessimistic an outlook for min or league baseball in Hartford, Wa terbury, Bridgeport, New Haven, Springfield and Worcester. It is true that in 1880, 1883 and again in 1885 Hartford clubs had to be dissolved for one reason or another, Cruel fate in the form of depression was one reason, although faulty ad- ministration probably played Its part. On the bright side has been; the large following the local team enjoyed and the number of cap- able players 1t managed to find.
 If Bob quinn, president of the Boston Bees, is successful in taia efforts to get e minor league started with the backing of the major league clubs, a large gap in the sports program of this section Of New England will Do filled. From
