Do you recall the embroidery hoopS2 (How you hated to stop work for mealD Those lovely rose and parlsy pieces That looked .unbelievaby real? Do you remember your first novel Smuggled in at age fourteen, The path you wore to the public library, Your first school hop at sweet sixteen? And you, old cabbagehead, think back, When the Rover Boys filled your life You followed them from east to west In those tales of storm and strife. Do you, lady, remember the work of art You did on your brothers stocking, How you got scolded for coming in after nine And told it was simply shocking? Without doubt you remember well, And do you in turn scold and scoh Your sons and daughters or do they Tell you where you get of?

The state grange offered tax program with a top limit of four per cent on in- comes of $15,O0O or more, exempting single persons up to $1,000 and mar ried persons up to 5000. It was ap- proved by the state tax department and supported by the Connecticut Federation of labor.
 Deputy Tax Commissioner Farwell Knapp said adoption of a broad tax base would "avoid the violent fiuct- nations of a narrow base"
 Sen. Charles P. Rumpf, r., Darien, suggested the committee put all the tax bills in a tin box. add five bricks, and for the welfare of the state dump it in Long Island sound.
 Fitzgerald Loan Fight
 The banking committee, mean while, heard arguments on lowering the interest rates on small loans from 36 to "A per cent a year.
 Democratic National Committee man David E. FitzGerald, New Ha- ven, appeared as counsel for the loan companies. He defended the 3 per cent 8 month charge as conn mensurate with the risk" taken by the concerns which, he said, do not require endorsers.
 "The great majority of borrow ers," he said, "are honest and do not pay 36 per cent interest. If they live up to their contracts they pay about $119 on $100 borrowed for g year."
 Lyons Spoke of Robbery
 Rep. William J. Lyons, r., Nor walk, declared there is 8 crying need to stop this robbery of the poor" and characterized the inter- est rates as "the most damnable thing we have on our statute books.

 Hartford, Conn, April 7.-(UP)- The civil service bill, first of a series of IS on governmental reor- ganization, came before the house today for first test of sentiment on streamlining the states administra- tive operations. In principle, the merit system has been approved by both parties. The major barrier to its immediate passage was a stipula- ton the personnel director be ap- pointed by the commissioner of fi- nance and control, a republican. To soothe resentful democrats, 1t was expected this clause would be amended to provide both guberna- torial and legislative approval to the appointment. Democrats also were opposed to including the pre- sent personnel under the proposed system. As drawn the bill would place those now employed by the state on a two-year probationary period, after which they would be subjected to competitive exarnina- tions. The administration party in- sisted only new employees should come under the merit rating. Poli- tical patronage would be entirely ex- cluded.

BEHIND \ THE SCEl1ESI WASHINGTON
Early but Inevitable 104O Polls Give F. D. R. Lead and May Force Him into Declaring His Position.
@V RODNEY 0UTGHER-t Democrat Washington
 Correspondent.

Washington, April 7.-You are quite right if you think the pres ent time is much too early to come to conclusions as to the question of Mr. Roosevelt in relation to the 1940 presidential campaign. But there is no law against speculation or dis cussion, and anyone may safely re- sign himself to hearing more and more about 1t from now on, unless Roosevelt emphatically rules him. self out of the picture.
 There will be polls designed to measure public sentiment for Roosevelt and for the other pres idential possibilities. These polls will be watched with intense in- terest.
 A peculiar situation will result if 1t turns out that the President Is far more of g popular favOrite to succeed himself than any other public man. If the polls do begin to pan out that way there will be great howl for a declaration from Roosevelt himself.
 The polls, in fact, already have begun. Fortune Magazine has taken a poll on the question of whether public opinion favored a third term for F. D. R. It found that only 43.6 per cent opposed third Roosevelt term, that ASA per cent favored it-nearIy half on the prOvis0 that his second term is successfui-and 8 per cent didn't know.
 Only 26 per cent declared against the idea solely on the ground that no one should serve more than two terms. It is easy to believe this section included many who would naturally oppose Roosevelt.
 Only "A per cent registered as opposed because of disapproval of F. D. R.. and only 102 because of disapproval of both Roosevelt and third terms.
 The Queens Work, a national Catholic monthly, has been polling Washington correspondents on their predictions as to the 1940 democratic nominee. Early returns were showing that two-thirds of the correspondents picked Roosevelt as the likeliest nominee, with Secre- tary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal lace running second, but obviously not very strong.
