A Piano Age

When the 36th annual convention ot the Music Industries opened in New York the other day there was more cheertulneSs expressed and seen in the Hotel New Yorker than in many long year by mern- bers of this organization. And when financial reports were read and members started to exchange business records there was excitement galore. For musical instruments are definitely coming back into their own. And right up at the top of the list in popularity today is the piano.
 The piano has been threatening to make a comeback for quite some few years now. It had been almost ante dated when the depression came along. The last years of so-called good times" had witnessed such startling decline in the manufacture and sale of pianos that many an old-established house was rocking dangerously. With the depres- sion years good many people went back to the simple days of old when the whole family usually met around the piano two or three times week. It ranked next to the dining room table in ability to at tract every individual in the household.
 RepOrLS now are IIlOSL c1lCOuIdS1l1S. Not only is piano manufacturing on the up and up, but pianos are being sold in increasing volume. This is due not only to the firm regard in which the piano IS held by the American public, but to the fact that manufacturers are finally pro- ducing pianos that can be accommodated in small houses and apartments, not to mention the modernistic designs that still permit proper sounding board and mechanical perfection.
 One of the fastest-selling instruments today is the accordion with the guitar, too, showing signs of life, not to men, tion the ukulele. A lot of the preSent-day interest in musical instruments may be laid directly at the door of radio. It has stirred interest in music and instruments and probably accounts for the thousands of hours of lessons now being given in various types. And it shouldn't be over- looked that radio receivers themselves are keeping pace as witness new models with their complete advantages in tone and tuning.

Reality

An article said to have been written by Premier Mussolini, in his newspaper "The Italian People," takes slap at some international fictionS" and sings the praises of reality" in international thinking. Reality, he says, with side glance at Uncle Sam, will wipe out such foolishnesS as belief in the collection of war debts. Reality will destroy all "houses of cards, and it has "a single brave name for which there is no substitute" He ob- viously means "war". And he hints that it will wipe out democracies as well as foreign debts.
 Well, Il Duce may have gloat coming as far as the war debts are concerned. Plenty of realistic Americans are con- vinced by this time that there's no use crying over split billions. They comfort themselves, though, with the reflection that if those war debts were paid, we'd doubtless empty our pockets again for Europe's benefit in the next big war; whereas now we'll stand pat on our pres ent losses and let warning nations stew in their own bankruptcy.

What Control Does

When the republicans controlled the state government of Connecticut the list of party leaders, starting with the late J. Henry Roraback, was very lengthy one indeed. Go back over your various campaigns, state and national, in the last twenty-five years and you'll find there the names of many g.o.p. stalWarts who are still living today, but who do not continue to grace the headlines nor direct the party's destinieS as they did them. Some of that is due to the natural course of events, but much is due to change III governmental control.
 Just since Governor Wilbur l.. Cross came to the forefront seven years ago republican names" have been on the downgrade while democratic ones have blossomed forth and become fixed in peoples minds. Of course that doesn't mean an awful lot for the reverse could take place in few short years. With regard to the political Armament we are a Tickle public. Today's hero is tomor- rows forgotten man. If you don't believe that play around with this political game for while and learn your lesson.
 But right now the democrats are sup plying the press with the names of the leaders in state and national government. They have completely usurped the top flight held so long by republicans. Few people think about the Trumbulls, the Binghams, the Wadhams, the Blodgetts, the Stoeckles, the Tilsons, and the host of other g.o.p officials and leaders of bygone days. But they do know the Crosses, the HayeseS, the Smiths the Maloneys, the Lonergans, the Spellacys, the FitzGeralds, the MacNeils, and the many others who now rule the roost.
 It shows what difference few years makes and what tricks politics is apt to play on an unsuspecting individual.

A Book a Day
Fishing Tales from Around the World

The majority of angling authors prefer to stick to one or two types of fish when compiling their tonnes. Zane Grey, while he is an emi- nent authority on fresh water fish, dotes on writing about the monsters of salt water. Mortimer Norton sticks to trout and bass; Ray Berg man, Cal Johnson and others write on finny fol.; of stream and lake.
 But Leander J. Mccormick, origi- nally a Michigander who moved to England, and who has fished in wa ters all over the world, writes en- tertainingly about popular and little known fish, both fresh and salt wa- ter, in his interesting book, Fish ing Round the World" (Scribners: $5).
 One very interesting chapter deals with "the fiercest fish in tsle world, U the Tiger fish, found in the rivers of the east coast of Africa such as the zambesi Limpopo, and the up- per Niles. This tinny fellow has a mouthful of teeth that would put a saber- -toothed tiger to shame, and to hook one in such an armored mouth is a rarity and an event in any anglers life. The world rec ord catch of this fish is 33 pounds.
 The fightingest fish? Mccormick believes it is the bonefish found along the gulf coast of Florida and other coastal states. These fish fight with such desperation that they are often boated dead. They leap with 8 fury that surpasses that of bass or tarpon, and are always in high gear.
 Salmon, trout, bass, musky, shark, marlin, swordfish, Pirana, the man. eating fish; dorado, the golden fish, and hundreds of other species all have fallen victim to McCormick's wiles with the rod and reel. His adventures with the finny folk make interesting reading even If you only use a willow branch and bent pin. ---J. F. D.

like the idea of it, at first, having been prejudiced perhaps by the old expressions s'eating crow" as a mark of humiliation or expression of distaste. It isn't humili- ating at all, says Colonel Sheldon. It's smart, because it tastes good and is as nourishing as any other game bird.
 Nevertheless, diplomacy is advised in serving crow for the first time to ones family or guests. Don't tell them what it is. Serve it without comment and wait for the reaction. People who don't know what they're eating are said to like it invariably if it's well prepared. If they know what it is, prejudice or irnagina- tion may interfere with honest judgment.

There is quite bit of rejoicing round about the state today over the fact that through the intercession and timely in- tervention of the Connecticut Forest and Park Association the famous Shaker Pines in Enfield have been saved from further destruction. This stand of pines is regarded as one of the finest now re- maining in New England. It was planted more than half a century ago when the Society of Shakers settled up around Enfield and established one of their famous communities there. The pines today are magnificent, so much so that many of them have been cut down for lumber. A good portion of the original plantation has been chopped down with out any regard to size or quality and it was to protect the remaining timber that the Connecticut Forest and Park Asso- citation busted itself in securing financial aid to acquire the land and thus preserve the pines. A corporation has been formed to control the pines.

 A lot of the Presidents so- called followers on Capitol Hill have been rowling about economy and a balanced budget. But when economy touches their own pat ronage pockets it is another story. This was what happened re- garding the total enrolment of the eco. Roosevelt recommend ed that enrolment should be . only 25O,000. But Congress wanted plenty of camps for the boys from each and every dis trict. so upped this to 30O,OOO.
 And now-CCC officials are hav- ing a hard time filling the quota. Flourishing economic conditions and the steady increase in em- ployment have caused CCC en- rollments to go begging.
 Moreover, this development is not new. In April, when the CCC sent out @ call for 100000 recruits, it was able to secure only 65,OOO-even after the most strenuous effort. In the last few months enrOllees have been leav- ing to take jobs at the rate of about 10000 month.
 On July l, when the recruiting drive under the new law was launched, the eco roster was down to 250000. One months effort has brought in 25,000 new youngsters, but this has been considerably offset by heavy with drawals.

Reciprocity between states with regards to auto law violations may be stretched too far if Connecticut continues to enforce it's new rear reflector law on Bay State motorists passing through the state. There have been so many protests from across the state line that even Governor Charles F. Hurley felt obliged to drop Governor Wilbur L. Cross a few lines about it. However, it might not be bad idea to check up on each individual com- plaint before passing judgment. After all this state can't afford to bear down too heavily on out-of-state drivers with out expecting similar treatment when we're visiting.

Answers To Questions
By Frederick M Kerby

O. Is the moon off its course9
 A. Precise calculation of the mo- ton of the moon is one of the most difficult and laborious tasks in mathematical astronomy, and the statement that "the moon is of its course" merely means that 1t is not strictly following the orbit that man has inaccurately calculated for it in advance. After the influence of all known heavenly bodies have been taken into consideration in calculating the moons expected mo- ton, there has always remained un- explained and very remarkable dis cordances between the computed and observed positions, which for the greater part, appear to be of a roughly periodic nature. The sun, moon and planets, during the last century, all have shown @ tendency to run ahead of their calculated positions in some years, and behind in others. It is possibule that these discrepancies arise from alterations in the earth's diameter, due to in- ternal causes and amounting ct most to a few feet.

If you've been vacationer for the past two weeks you've probably enjoyed the two finest weeks of the summer We make this statement with apologies to those who have yet to enjoy their weeks of leisure. Surely these past two weeks have been ideal, plenty of what you crave on vacation sunshine and blue skies and not excessive heat. There was little rain. Better remember this period for the 1888 vacation list.
