SUIT FOR WAGES
 DISMISSED HERE
Three WOOdbury Men Are Sought Pay for Work,
 But Lost Out

Civil actions in the court of con- mon pleas by three Woodbury men, who sought to recover wages for work over a period of months, were dismissed in a decision late yester- day by Judge Miles F. McNiff who held that their employer was a ma- terial man, and not Sub-contrac- tor in WPA project.
 The three, Joseph Togui, seeking $500; Clyde Hockey, $126: and George Cole, $4OO, claimed they had worked in quarry for Norman Cole of Woodbury, supplying stone for the construction of a road in Southbury. Silliman and Godfrey was the contractor in the project.
 Employees and sub-contractors of the Silliman and Godfrey Company were guaranteed wages through bond furnished by the Aetna Cas- ualty and Surety Company. It was the Aetna Company that was de- fendant in the suits. which were heard jointly several weeks ago. Cole was not b-contractor, ac- cording to Judge McNiff. for the government agents did not require him to pay stipulated wages. and did not make him limit the work ing hours to 30 a week. Cole was only material man, and no pro- visions was made to protect en- ployeS of material men from loss of wages. The plaintiffs were repre- sented by Attorney J. Gregory Lynch and Attorney Walter J. Lynch.

In all probability, according to an announcement today by James J. Curtin, superintendent of parks, the Carrie Welton horse, which will soon be removed from its base at the east end of the green, will eventually be located in one of the city's three main parks.
 The statement was made follow ing yesterdays session of the park board, at which time the local superintendent was advised to look for suitable location for the well known memorial.
 Undecided As Yet \
 The local superintendent said to- day that as yet he and Thomas Moore, secretary, had not decided on any definite location for the bronze horse. The base of the statue, which is more .familiarly known as the Carrie Welton foun- tain" will be removed. he said, and it is probable that the bronze horse will be placed on a base of smaller proportions in one of the parks.
 John P. Elton, president, and all other officers of the park board. were reelected at the meeting yes- terday afternoon at the City Hall.

William M. Harris will be the speaker at the weekly iloon-day meeting of the Kiwanis club tomor- row noon at the Hotel Elton. His subject will be, Balancing the Budget-At What Price"
 A musical program will be offered by Kenneth Teller, baritone, and Kenneth Thompson, pianist, as this is national music week.
 At a special meeting recently it was decided it would be good idea to renew the birthday fund among the members for the benefit of the Crippled Children's Fund. This mat ter will be presented to the club al tomorrow'S gathering.
 Every cent collected would go only for the Crippled Children's Fund and none into the general treasury
 No definite amount should be stipulated for each member to give
 The amount given would be held entirely confident between the in- dividual member and the treasurer who is to receive the funds.
 A birthday card should be sent to each member to reach him on the day of his birthday. Enclosed with this card would be another small card asking for voluntary subscrip- tion for crippled children's fund to- gether with a return envelope for the contributors convenience.

North Main street be removed. The letter pointed out the fountain is no longer in use and is over an old cistern, constructed in the early days of the city, which causes cor rosion and an unpleasant odor when the water fails to run. If the fountain could be, removed, the letter said, this condition would be remedied.
 Opposition
 The board then instructed the park superintendent and secretary to report at the next session on a new location, and if necessary to have it relocated before the next meeting. The board was not in favor of moving the statue to some other part of the green.
 Curtin reported that the munich pal golf course, which opened on Saturday afternoon, showed greater promise than last year. More than 100 season tickets have already been sold, he said, and all last year only 119 were sold.

Other Things

EVEN the working class d long friendly to Edward consented to his departure, says Dennis:
 "He left his land with kingly dignity. We saw him go with love, and pity, and cynical relief. Was it SO heartless of those South Wales film audiences, unemployed, entrance half-price, stonily not to cheer him? He was a tragic, broken man; but he was off to the sun, and the white snow and they"
 In one place, Dennis dis. cusses the common statement that Premier Baldwin never would have taken so strong a line with Edward "unlesi there were other things" Ht goes on to say:
 unfortunately, there were. Things done and said in his in- fatuation; his lovers prodigality. In moments of recourse to other sources of courage as well. Papers curiously, neo-Xais- erishly, annotated. The affair of the Egyptian treaty. No sound understanding of the technique or limitations or necessary dignity

 Deficiency of Pity" VET it is not only Edward \ and the "set of fast transatlantic wisecrackers' who come in for Dennis con demnation. Admitting that there were "aspects not ad mirable" about England's re. action to the abdication, he says this:
 There was slander about, as well as sense; baseness as well as beauty. More smut than even the circumstances called for; and a fair amount of deliberate cruel lying. Amid such English good nature, a deficiency of pity. With no un-English self-doubting, good, average display of English self-content. If hypocrisy not above average, thick calm smooth oceans of complacency, Compla- cency, COMPLACENCY."

Lisdoonvarna Famous Watering Place of Ireland Extolled
 in Letter to
 Democrat.

Mankind is heir to evil and its consequent afflictions; but where ever disease is known, there we have reason to believe medical herbs spring up as anti doteS.
 One of our most prevailing ailments, owing to our moist climate, Is rheumatism sciatica etc., and the best remedy dis covered or invented, is the pure sulphur water which springs so copiously from the ground at LiSdoonvarna.
 Lisdoonvarna owes its popu- larity to two causeS-its air and waters. The ozone of the sea, mingling with mountain and bog breezes, combine to form that balmy, refreshing and deli cious air which none can breathe without exquisite grat- ification and the cultivation of a prodigious appetite.
 The curative properties of the Lisdoonvarna waters were long known locally, but it was in 1855 they were first brought to public notice by ''The Royal Irish Academy" after a search ing analysis. They have been subjected to several tests, the last in 1929 by Dr. Munoa, Bath, who reported-Iodine. This and previous analysis showed these waters to be richer in sulphuret- ted hydrogen than any Euro pean wells. They contain 5.553 cubic centimetres of Sulphuret- ted hydrogen, traces lithiun and iodine; and the Iron Well, a weightable quantity of man ganese.
 The sulphur baths. To cope with the demand for sulphur baths, which for generations have proved their worth, double accommodation is this year pro- vided; and since the introduc- tion of the electric current every conceivable kind of bath, which medical science can Sug- gest, is now available.
 The medicinal effects of the sulphur waters are various and are recommended for the care of chronic dyspepsia, constipa- tion, affections of the liver gout, rheumatism etc., and the iron water for deteriorated blood conditions.
 It is a well-known fact that no inhabitant of LiSdoonvarna has ever suffered from influenza But -Lisdoonvarna does not cater solely for invalids. Thou sands can testify to most en- joyable holidays spent there. Tennis, fishing, excursions to the Cliffs of Moher or round Black Head and Corkscrew Hill, walks in the Park or round the Bog Road and an evening social in a hotel winds up perfect day.
 DoOlin Harborn aaIeW mlaeS distant, affords safe and pleas ant bathing. Concrete bathing boxes have been erected for the different sexes and are well patronized during the season and, concrete paths lead down to the sea.
 One of our national poets. T. D. Sullivan, was a constant vls- itor to the famous spa and con- cluded one of his poems thus Long may Lisdoonvarna thrive And all her springs continue

''ROystering Invaders"

DENNIS also takes some D pot shots at the free spending, heavy drinking set of American expatriates in London with whom, he con- plains, Edward had cast his friendship. So there is this paragraph:
 ''The invaders, of course, were not beloved. They were as rule no credit to the great country they had exploited and deserted, nor to the one tl which they now were registering and ruling. They were cock-a-hoop, and since Edwards accession were getting insolent and out-of-hand. There was but one more world to con- quer. The first woman to sit in the ancient Commons was a di- vorced American; why not then also-?"

hearsay, fantastic spies, crimes. Hitler-never sur- passed in the rich long history of scandalmongering. Whether they were wholly true, or wholly un- true, or something in between, those stories heaped-already half in revenge-upon the head of a woman unable to defend herself sealed finally her fate.

Why WrathfuI Duke of Windsor
 Sued Coronation Commentary
 Author Told by Glance at Book
BY BRUCE CATION

BY BRUCE CATTON (NEA Service Stan CorrespOndent) JUST what is there in Geof- J frey Dennis book, "Coro- nation Commentary" that caused the Duke ot Windsor to file a libel and injunction suit against the author and his publisher?
 Dennis, a distinguished English novelist, wrote this book-or most of it-a year or so ago. It was designed as a coronation-time speciality, apparently, and it was largely a review of the history of British kingship and British coropations, closing with a glowing tribute to the then king, Edward VIII.
 Just as the book was fin ished Edward abdicated, and Dennis added a final chapter on the abdication. The book appeared, and the Duke of Windsor promptly sued both Dennis and the publishing house of William Heine- mann, Ltd., for libel, asking also an injunction against further publication of the book.
 The book then was with drawn from sale in England, but the American edition has been released by Dodd, Mead & Co.
 What is in it to stir the former king to such wrath? The Reasons
 VOL need only to read Den | nis' chapter on the abdi- cation to find out.
 In it, discussing the reason why the British public re- fused to let Edward retain his throne and marry the Amer ican Wallis Warfield Simp- son, Dennis says:
 "She came too far below, she clashed too crudely, with the na- tion's idea and ideal, dream and myth. of feminine royalty. Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria; Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary; the la dies of York, Gloucester, Kent which ever standard, among these variant high ones, of English queenship your own might hap pen to be, the new aspirant did not fit it. Ideals are ideals. Idols must be idols. She WOULD NOT DO. The come-down from Queen Mary to Queen Wally was too steep"

Newton d. Baker.

To know Newton D. Baker, wartime
Secretary Of War, was to respect him.
But strangers also had wit enough to
comprehend the rich endowment of mind
and heart which combined to make
him unique among public men in his
generation. He stood alone, without
peers, and yet not without appreciation
1t follows that, dying untimely, he is
deeply mourned.
Among those who chronicled his
career there must be many who will
choose to remember him at the moment
when he rose to speak for the League
OF Nations in the Democratic Party
Convention of 1924. He was at the
apex of his intellectual and spiritual
powers then; his idealism had been
disciplined into q practical philosophy
of social aspiration the goal he pic
tured was feasible; he had q lesson to

He has several years to plan things.
There are other citixens, however,
who do not hesitate to congratulate Mr..
Trey on his splendid record of public
service, first as a postal inspector, then
as Chief of the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau's Intelligence Unit and now, In
addition, as co-ordinator of all law
enforcement agencies in the Treasury
Department.
From this it would seem that Mr..
Trey is not satisfied with what he has
done to AL Capone and his kind in the
past thirty years. He has given no
thought to retiring to = fireside chair
and slippers. On the contrary, he is
taking on more responsibilities.
The news will be disquieting to the AL

Of long ago,
Too easily forgotten when old Santa

Friends who wear no beard so white, nor

Each kindly toward his neighbor with

Back to the policeman who still does the
best he can
To regulate the traffic or to curb the

Well greet the letter carrier since his
hardest work is through,
And give him welcome once again, Just
as we used to do.
Back to the fire laddie, whom we've
treated with neglect.
Too often we forget him till we've some-

We've had our Merry Christmas and We
