Youth In Steel

Age may be desirable for the judiciary,
but not for industry At least, not for the
steel industry. An Associated Press sur
vey of big steel men shows nearly all the
big fellows young or middle-aged. Myron
c. Taylor, chairman Of the U. S. Steel
Board, credited with the recent friendly
labor settlement is said to have been
engaged in program of Regeneration"
for many years, especially since he as
sumed his present position in 1888. He
picked Edward r. Stettinius as chief
assistant at the age Of 49, In the last
year or two there have been added to the
board six "progressives" averaging about
A years of age. No president of SUBJ
sidiary manufacturing unit who was in
office in 1927 now remains. Nearly all the
important officials are under So
This is really returning to the policy
of our first great steelmaster, Andrew
Carnegie. He was always looking for
young men. He picked Charles M.
Schwab, stake-driver, as chief engineer
for the Carnegie steel plant at the age OF
10, and made him superintendent of the
Homestead Steel Works at Is, and Schwab
was still only 80 when he became the first
president of the United States Steel Cor
poration. Apparently there is still a chance
for young fellows.

Completed Clipper Route

At last the trans-Pacific Clipper planes
are going to make the complete trip
originally planned. Beginning April l,
they will carry air mail and passengers to
Hongkong, instead of stopping at Manila,
as they have had to do because Great
Britain at first refused to grant landing
privileges in the Chinese port.
The Hongkong terminus means direct
connection with India and other Asiatic
regions. The postoffice rate schedule for
regular Asiatic air mail lists Hawaii,
Guam, the Philippine Islands, Macao,
Hongkong, China, Japan, Indo China,
Malaga Straits Settlement), Siam, In
dia, Dutch East Indies, Australia and
New Zealand. II the Zeppelins resume
regular Atlantic crossings this summer

choices for the traveller
Only last summer three newspaper
reporters went around the world In less
than three weeks using only commercial
lines, but special arrangements had 10 be
made by one of them for the air journey
between China and the Philippines. while
the other two used an ocean liner. The
whole thing can now be done by airplanes,
o. by combinations Of air, sea and rail
transport. II is thrilling Drosnect.

Smoke and Rickets

Chicago now learns, from report made
to the local branch Of the American
Chemical Society, that for seven months
Of the year its sunshine is deficient in the
ultraviolet rays which provide vitamin p
and prevent ricketts,. This Is because OF
the pail OF smoke which hangs over Chi
cago much Of the time and screens out
the sun. Other points, near Chiago, but
free from smoke, have normal seasonal
deficiency In these rays OF only three
months.
Two conclusions may be drawn. One
is that something ought to be done to
eliminate the smoke just as soon as pos
sible The other Is that, SO long as the
smoke is there, depriving people, espe-
cially children, Of essential health-giving
rays, sunshine substitutes" should be
taken - light treatments and COO liver
oil or It's vitamin extracts.
Chicago is not alone in permitting this
modern industrial evil. Quantities OF
unnecessary smoke blot out the much
needed sunshine in many cities. Surely
the great cities of the future will be as
particular about preventing the ills
caused by too little sunshine and too
much smoke as they are now about pre-
venting disease epidemics formerly caused
by impure milk and water.

An unwillingness, perhaps, to share in
the tremendous cost of building twenty
storage reservoirs to control floods along
the Connecticut River is prompting Yer
mont and New Hampshire officials to
demur at what they will have to pay.
They claim that their states are not to
derive the benefits from flood control that
Massachusetts and Connecticut will. We
don't doubt but what this is true. The
lower end Of the river usually bears the
brunt Of the flood and that would natur-
ally be Connecticut. But Connecticut
can't be expected to foot the bills for
something whose origin is very definitely
out of it's reach and Jurisdiction. Either
Vermont and New Hampshire will have
to regard this project in an entirely I'M
selfish manner or else Uncle Sam will
have to step in and force acquiescence to
the plans. Flood control in river valley
can be achieved only in the same way as
stream pollution elimination - that's by
complete cooperation from source to
mouth of the stream.

A Thought for Today
Come To Waterbury

AS an inducement to come to Water
bury Mayor Frank Hayes, city officials
and industrial leaders might well cite
some of the business statistics that are
revealed every month by the Chamber OF
Commerce. The latest report, which was
printed In The Democrat last week, is very
illuminating and should act as a quencher
upon those perennial crabs who find moth
ing good In the town nor In the people
who govern 1t nor the people who want
them to govern 1t. There was new all
time high in employment registered in
this city for February, just 6 short of 81
600. These are respectable figures.
Even the industrial disputes which have
covered our front pages during the last
few days can't take away this record. We
don't think they will last long as we are
confident that within year Waterbury
will have 10000 men and women employ
ed in gainful pursuits In this city. And
by employed we mean steady work not
occasional jobs. That's pretty good for
city that in 1880 was denied the privilege
OF going into the 100000 population class.
If other industrial towns In Connecticut
can show anything better than Water
bury's recovery we would like to know
about 1t.
All this, dear readers, was accomplished
despite the handicaps of depression and
hitter criticism. We weathered the de-
preston better than most communities;
we are proud of the fact that cooperative
efforts made this possible. Our city gov
eminent has never been more highly re-
garded in financial circles than 1t is and
has been for several years. Yet everything
has been done to make Waterbury seem
a veritable stink-hole of political iniquity.
Waterbury should blazon forth to the
winds: its civic officials should shout from
the rool-tops- EMPLOYMENT REACHES

Appreciation for Mother-in-laws

Texas has been celebrating mother
in-law day., and dispatch from Amarillo
said: "Don't smile when you say 1t,
stranger" 1t was proper warning, even
though the smiles come just the same. A
tradition seems to have grown up In this
country that mother-in-laws are funny.
AS a result, they have been made the
butts of cheap, shallow and false jests.
This pretended humor, made current
by repudiated generation of newspaper
jokesmith, is dying out, but not SO rapidly
as 1t deserves. The fact Is that mother
in-laws usually are, and always have been,
good sports and unselfish friends. In
countless cases they have been more gen
erous and helpful to their married chill
dren and the latter's helpmates than
those unappreciated youngsters have
deserved.
Next year, says Gene Howe, the Texas
editor who started this praiseworthy fes-
tival, he's going to have on hand GER
tain leading lady, as Queen of the Worlds
Mother-in-Laws." There would be more
sense in that than in a lot of these
beauty queen" stunts.

Connecticut may have full-time archi-
tect added to it's staff in the near future,
judging by what is being said up around
the Capitol these days. With so many
big building projects in prospect the state
is convinced that employment of first
rate architect at a salary of $4,000 annu-
ally and an additional good engineer at
similar salary would cost the state in ten
years 100000. But in the corresponding
period of time their services would have
saved the state 81 100000. Just at pres
ent we are looking for economies like this.
II it's true, make 1t come true.

A Book a Day
Sequel to Popular
Wither's Story
BY BRUCE CATION

Mortgage Your Heart, by Soph-
us Keith WHITTIER Macmillan:
$3.50, is the second volume OF what
Is apparently trilogy dealing with
the fortunes OF Peter and Meta
Crimson, Danish immigrants, and
their six sons. It Is good, solid novel,
sensatively and honestly written, but
1t Is not, In my estimation, SO good
as the first volume, Take All to
Nebraska" which appeared o sea-
son or two ago.
The principal reason for the diff
ference is that the earlier book had
as its principal character farm,
the land itself, and dealt with the
Crimson family only In its relation
ship TO the demanding cruelty and
occasional beneficence OF Its mas
ter, the soil. Mortgage Your Heart"
deals more directly with the Grim
sens themselves, and loses strength
thereby.
The case Of the Grimsens Is some
what different from that OF the
families about which most earthly
novels concern themselves, because
of barriers not only of age and am
bition between parents and chill
dren, but OF q more real and O
stronger barrier of language and
custom. Nevertheless, there Is too
strong a similarity to plot and char
acter to those Of other novels to
make this as gripping and convinc-
ing as its predecessor.
If there Is principal character
in Mortgage Your Heart" 1t Is
Hans, one of the younger children.
The story of his adolescent struggles
is beautifully and POLITICALLY told.
At the close of the book, the
Grimsens have advanced from land
renters to land owners. The horizon
before them seems unclouded by
any further disasters. Yet all of us
know what happened to midwestern
farmers In recent years. Volume
Three should tell us that story

STATE INSTITUTIONAL NEEDS
Hartford Courant)

The hearings, now being held by
the Legislatures Appropriations
committees, have already brought
forth requests far beyond the pos
sibilities OF the present bond issue.
The lump sum left after retiring the
floating uebt, Is set ct $i2,76i ,222. IL
seems generally agreed that the
primary needs for which these mil
lions were voted are new soldiers
home, q second training school for
mental detectives and additions to-
the Fairfield State hospital. AS the
estimates now stand, these three
items alone call for approximately
$40 ,0890O leaving only $2,67l 900
for everything else.
Much has been heard Of many OF
the other needs. The building pro-
grams of The Norwich State hospital
the Connecticut State College and
the tuberculosis sanitaria, have long
been recognized. Less well known
perhaps is the overcrowding at the
State Farm For Women In Mantle.
The number of inmates has increas-
ed nearly 80 per cent In the last
biennium, without any comparable
increase in accommodations. As at
the state hospitals for the mentally
sick, over-crowding Is q decided
handicap In obtaining results that
will permit returning to normal life
persons who otherwise might need
public care for many years.
The greatest care should be exer-
cised In selecting the most impera-
tive needs for immediate attention
and in safeguarding expenditure OF
funds so that they will yield max
imum return in new buildings. For
tunately aiding one type Of institu-
ton will afford relief In q measure
TO others. as, for example, when
children OF low mental capacity are
removed from the county homes.
But this Is only partial. The begin
ming of the long delayed process OF
catching up on institutional require
ments Is revealing In almost stag
gering proportions the problems
that face the state.

We note that the WPA is going to be
put to work this year battling the Japa-

that are threatening our staple foodstuffs.
