REPORTS DIFFER
 ON HEAT NEWS
Governments ThermOme. ter Says 98 for Yester-
 day City's Records 87

It may have been a touch of the sun or, bringing politics into the weather reports, 1t may have been reflection of the optimism some FusioniSts hereabouts are expressing about the melancholy days of Co., tober.
 At any rate, the official gov- ernment thermometers" yesterday registered a neat 98 degrees of heat, a 13-year record for maximum tenn peratures for the month of Septem- Der. Selahl
 Over at city hall where the functions of various experts on building matters are dependent, to Q degree, on accurate readings of the the days temperatures, only S7 de- grees registered on the recorder (same make as the so-called gov- eYnment's instruments).
 James R. Walker, city plumbing inspector, was at a loss to explain the discrepancy today. Seems MT Walker gets calls every so often to get the "lowdown" on what the mercury is attempting. Then, he measures the rainfall in the instru- ment on top of the city hall SO that Waterbury need not be without some official record of precipitation This, when someone fails to note that it is raining.
 The temperatures for the last several days were recorded at their daily maxima as follows: Wednes- day, 87; Tuesday, 84; Monday, 84: Sunday, 85; Saturday, 83; Friday 78.
 At g o'clock today the reading WIS 68 degrees. And 1t was deemed unlikely that this would be another of those hottest September days"

1Issih AKING things is the most im-
 portant of all human activities.
 Since ages ago, the material
 welfare of the people and the spread of culture have gone hand in hand with industrial progress.
 This was true when Egyptian slaves were dragging huge blocks of stone for building the colossal pyramids It was true when the ancient Romans were constructing the famous Aqueduct, while their industries were primitive and crude. And it is true today, when our factories are turning out millions of everything.
 Regardless of money and other forms of wealth, our national standard of life depends entirely and solely upon the quantity and kind of products turned out my American industry. We are very fortunate in this country. Science, engineering, and business management have combined to provide for each of us more and better things than are enjoyed by the inhabitants of any. other country. We have more automobiles, telephones, bathtubs, radios, newspapers, and school houses per capita than any other people. And as individuals we spend, on the aver age, more for food, clothing, entertain ment, and home comforts than consunl- CTS anywhere else.
 This is not only, because American in- dustry can make these things, but be- cause it does make them and because we buy them. Factories and engineering skill are of no great benefit unless their products are promptly passed on to con- Sumers. The goods must be sold. In or der to have large-scale manufacturing there must be large-scale selling. Oth- erwise we could not maintain our high and rising standard of living.
