 The winter project work at Camp Conner for this season Is drawing rapidly to a close. Seventy-five acres of land have been prepared for the planting of about 10000 evergreen trees including red pine, white pine, sprouce and arbor vitae. The improvement of 8 large block of forest by the removal of decadent and inferior trees to pro- mote healthy forest is about ter- minated for this cutting season. In addition, the much talked of areas adjacent to the Snow Hill road in Union Forest have been treated to promote & most unusual display of laurel and other towering shrubs. This last area will, beyond question, prove to be the most pleasing dis play of laurel during the laurel Towering season, of any similar area in Connecticut.

 Steel had every reason to ex- pect national law which would make the 40-hour week a maxi mum and, perhaps, fewer -hour week in its own case. It could ob- tain public approbation by volun- tarily consenting to less rigid schedule. Even a survey at the conservative University of Pitts burgh had deplored steel's labor policies. The LaFollette commit tee had revealed surprising stories of espionage, arms in plants, and other preparations for war by in- dustry. Some steel officials insisted to their associates that Lewis was responsible leader.

A true story. If this weren't actual fact 1t would smack of those old Yankee hosstradn stories with which we were regaled once upon time when kid we listened to Uncle Seth with friends the while he fingered the rens good old "Cut-ta" who every so often would prick up an ear as if he too inter- ested in them. This one, however, comes from Trop cal Park down Coral Gables Florida and it's probably stale by the time you get it. It's good it bears much repeating. There have been many stories about men buying dead horses. Here's real one Hrsch Jacobs whose is byword along race-tracks paid $2,50O for Character putting in claim for the 7yearold geld ing just before the second off at Tropical last Tuesday Character the favorite in the race but unfortunate as to break leg in the first quarter That meant he had to be destroyed and Jacobs
 had to pay his claiming price It also he had to pay to have the horse removed from the track.

The Inside Story of Real Factors Behind the LabOr-Steel C. ]. 0. COn- tract

Washington, March 15-The as- tonishing turn in labor history sig nified by the steel industry's deci- sion to sign wage, hour and collective bargaining agreements with the John L. Lewis c. I. O., is generally attributed by high gov- ernment officials here to three chief factors:
 1-Conviction among leaders of the industry, and the Morgan Wall street interests behind them, that Lewis was in a position to tie up production, and that he could be beaten in a strike only after unprecedented labor warfare. 1-Pressure from a pro-labor ad- rninistration in Washington, which demanded the 4O-hour week and collective bargaining plus exis- tence of pro-labor state administra- tions and local authorities in the steel area.
 2-Unwillingness to forego the
 profits which 1897 promises from steel.
 It may be that all those factors and others, combined to bring about this industrial New Deal" It is commonly suspected here that only J. P. Morgan knows the answer But everyone comedies the spectacu- lar success of c. l. O.'s first key to the recent about-face by America $ foremost leaders of industry and | finance.

What they won't think of. For years newspapers have been confronted with the problem of preserving their files back into the dim and distant ages The 0ry of them merely have the papers bound and store them away in convenient spots where they become dust-covered and very brittle Some fortunate enough to have nice compartments for the individual file where it escapes both dust and air Others have their filing newspapers printed special grade of ragnewsprint not pulp which makes them resistant to the clements. And there have been many substances heralded preservatves ..

ZINNIAS

The brilliance Of zinnia flower. The stridepce of a cricket's call Where walks the night with chilly feet A spectre with its shadows tall. It is enough that day should wane With zinnias bright beside the porch, And as I wait for soft white hands 51ie moon brings forth It's yellow torch And why is this o garden gay. This dazzling glow from flaming flower? Is 1t the anger sent by gods To blight love with Bacchus' power? O blazing, golden petaled bloom, love you, and you love the eamei -rls ectasy's fond kisses blown TO let the starlight know your name.
