Nutty About Time

The public must be growing time conscious. With more street clocks on buildings and electric clocks in store windows, and with more watches on wrists, and so on, you'd think people would almost get to know the time with out mechanical help. They don't develop this time sense, however, and they seem not to trust the many available time pieces. At least, telephone company which gives the correct time on request finds it is averaging Il calls minute through all the days twenty-four hours.
 This would be very fine if it indicated wave of promptness in meeting business appointments, getting into a theater or concert before the entertainment begins, and starting meetings on time, but there are painful evidences that such is not the case. So probably it is just nervous habit, developed by the presence of time pieces on every hand and the multiplicity of timed activities in modern life.

New York city is still discussing ways and means of ending pollution of the waters surrounding the city. Commits sioner of Parks Robert Moses the other day taxed the city fathers for not push ing through program that would bring about elimination of this health nuisance. He urged early remedial measures to insure safety of all bathers. It is some time now since it was first discovered that slack methods of communities in emptying raw sewage into streams and other bodies of water were piling up trouble for the future. For some few years cities and states have been waging war against water pollution. The success has varied with the section of the country. Here in the East every effort has been made to educate people and thus cities and towns to the dangers of pollution. Now that we know of them we are pro- ceeding to correct the trouble. New York and Connecticut coastal waters must be protected at all costs. They are too pre- cious to allow them to be polluted beyond any usage, as well as killing off all forms of sea life. .4....

 And I heard these complaints when the holding company bill was before congress. It would wipe out the savings of widows and children, etc., etc. Today the securities of these widows and children are worth much more than they were then and are great deal safer.

 New Hampshire Governors
 New Hampshire is a relatively small state, politically and geo. graphically. But last week there were more of its ex-governors clut- tering up the capital landscape than any other state in the Union.
 Three of them huddled in room in the senate office building; ex-Governor H. Styles Bridges, now republican senator; ex- Governor Charles w. Tobey, now republican representative: and ex- Governor Robert P. Bass, now out of a job.
 Purpose of the huddle was plot against another ex-g0ver- nor of New Hampshire, Fred Brown, now democratic sena- tor. The three huddlers plan to get his seat in 1888. Their candidate is Bass, who had stopped off en route between spending a winter in Arizona and summer in New Hamp- shire. Bass is 63 years old, has

All Worries Cease

Well, there won't have to be any dump ing of special books or lists that thou sands of employers have been using since the first of the year when social security laws went into effect in the United States. The Supreme Court has upheld the law and we can breathe easier. Of course if you don't care for the laws or if you ob- ject to the manifold duties it imposes on us, then you can apostrophize the justices whose majority opinion carried the day. Incidentally how does the court now stand on New Deal legislation?
 Once upon time the newspapers were wont to carry standing of the court on decisions for and against the Roosevelt administration. That was when the boys down at Washington were getting it right and left or the more radical departures from what was considered just and right were being upset and ruled out of order But of recent months Cor should we infer that it is since the drive on the present court set-up started) the wind has been blowing in the opposite direction. The president has been getting the best of the bargain.
 Strictly speaking there will be much better feeling throughout the nation with the unemployment insurance and old age pension features of social security estab- nShed. There were so many states in- yolved in an upset of these phases of so- Cial security that adverse rulings would have been calamitous. Unemployment insurance has been demanded for many years; we have it. Old age pensions have been advocated for long time; we have them. Whether or not we disagree with the modus operandi we must agree that what we have, we long sighed for The court has confirmed our opinion that no trespass was had in either instance of so- cial security planning.

The Way We Are

The German Nazis, like the old Bour- bons, seem never to learn anything or forget anything. They keep right on pro testing violently at every example of public criticism against their system in this country, and insisting that our government suppress such utterances.
 It seems useless to explain to them, as our federal authorities have done pa- tiently, that this is land of free speech and many independent Sovereignties; that the United States government has no authority over mayor in New York or a Catholic Cardinal in Chicago; that in America one race or political party or religious creed is considered as good as another; that some of our private citizens and public officials may talk overmuch and unwisely, and may be as disreSpectful to foreign rulers as they are to their own. But that's the way we are, and the way we always have been, and praise God, the way we always hope to be.
 It is probably very crude and vulgar to us, and shows lamentable lack of Ziemlichkeit and discipline. This would be a much more orderly land if our life were ironed out in uniform and we'll behaved pattern that Hitler or Mussolini could approve. But if it were, we wouldn't be happy. Moreover, the Germans and Italians now enjoying the blessedness of Fascist rule wouldn't want to come here.

A Book a Day.
A Charming Tribe, the du Mauriers

One of the most completely de- lightful books to come this way in recent months is The du Mauriers," i" by Daphne du Maurier Doubleday, Doran: $3). Not since Gerald: A Portrait" Miss du Maurier's bio- graphy of her father, made its ap- pearance last year, has another book of comparable charm come before us.
 Family memoirs are common enough. but they are seldom as fascinating as these. Few of them have collected between their cov- CTS such galaxy of brilliant, er- ratio and charming people. Few writers of memoirs have looked up- on their ancestors with such a twinkling eye, or with such sym pathetic penetration.
 Daphne du Maurier has made the family skeletons come out of their closets and do tap dance. They had their faults and committed their sins, but they were merry crowd.
 Mary. Anne Clark, founder of the du Maurier family, was a woman of wit and charm and the mistress of the Duke of York. She was also fair, so when asked if the Duke was her daughters father she murmured vaguely, So many people at Brigh- ton. Such poor memory for faces"
 Out of her 'scandalous, merry career came such brilliant descend ants as George du Maurier, author of "Trilby" and Peter Ibbetson";;' Sir Gerald du Maurier, the distin- guished English actor, and Daphne du Maurier, one of the most skill full and facile writers of our day.
 I can think of no one who would not enjoy this book, full as it is of charming people, amusing situa- tions and genuine pathos. It is writ ten with brilliance, under standing and freshness. Only one of them selves could have caught the flavor and the color of the du Maurier family so well. It Is meant to be read and re-read.

Wonder what ever happened to that plan to expand Connecticut State College at Storrs into huge university in which would be combined all schools of learn ing-law, medicine, arts, sciences, etc. It provided some little excitement at the beginning of the legislative session when introduced by representative from Colchester, Samuel Friedman. The only drawback to the plan was that it entailed a little matter of $5,OOO,OOO to be sold in bonds with which the expansion program would be financed If the state does any, thing it should help the school to expand to it's present status by adding needed buildings

Will Still Go On

Of recent years Connecticuts milk industry has been subjected to continued wrangling Year after year the Legisla- ture finds itself confronted with a divers ity of complaints and suggestions as to how the business can best be adminiS- tered in this state. We often wondered if there really could be so much to find fault with as we read in the papers. It doesn't seem possible that one lone 1n- dustry could cause so much commotion. But whether or not there is commotlon and unrest Connecticut remains pretty we'll determined that it's present Set-up will continue.
 s. Mclean Buckingham has been Sub- jected to considerable criticism of recent months on his administration of the states milk control act. There have been attempts to oust him just as there were efforts to oust the three-man milk con- trol board that officiated prior to his appointment. We rather imagine that If MT. Buckingham were supplanted and another appointee put in his place or the administering forces changed back to board once again the same complaints would still come Altering into legislative channels and official offices in Hartford.
 But that the state has some confidence in MT. Buckingham and the milk control act that it has finally set up and still does not regard as perfect, well, that will remain as is. The Legislature recently showed it's confidence in MT. Bucking- ham; it showed it's confidence in its act by turning down repeal measures and amending the act to make it a bit stronger. To the majority of people in Connecticut that seems to be quite cor rect. If we have no milk control laws, how can the situation be helped? If we

Selected Poem
REMEMBER, I REMEMBER

(By Thomas Hood, Boston Post ReprinU I remember, I remember,
 The hous where I was born, The little window where the sun
 Came peeping in at morn: He never came wink too soon,
 Nor brought too long day; But now, often wish the night
 Had borne my breath away. remember, remember,
 The roses red and white; The violetS and the lily-cupS,
 Those flowers made of light! The lilacs where the robin built
 And where ml brother set The laburnum on his birthday
 The three is living. yet! .. remember, remember,
 Where used to swing; And thought the air must rush as fresh To swallows on the wing: My spirit flew in feathers then,
 That is so heavy now, D And summer pools could hardly cool The fever on my brow! I remember remember,
 The fir trees dark and high; used to think their slender tops
 Were close against the sky: It was childish ignorance,
 But now 'tis little joy To know I'm farther off from heaven Than when was a boy.

About the same time John J.

That seems bit strong, but perhaps MT.

His politica philosophy was simple; e;--be faith ful to the party and the party wi be faithful to you. Whatever hE faults may have been they wen outweighed by great virtue unshakable loyalty to those wh were loyal to him. He had al unforgetting memory for thos who worked for him and the part1 he served.

Under His Hat

In fear and trembling I would like to call the attention of the- editor of the American to some. thing which he overlooked as,. blindly as the fact that Senator Glass is a Past Grand Exalted
 Secretary of the Treasury of the United States and the Alleged Daddy of the Federal Reserve Banking System. It is the danger of thinking that whatever appears in Who's Who in America" about man or a woman is all the truth Usually the contributor to the book is invited-at price-to write his own ticket with the re-,. suit that he writes only what he wishes to have known. For ex- ample if man did short stretch in some h0Osegow for stealing chickens in his sportive days or spent a brief time in the jug for beating the wife in his contem-' plative ones, and subsequently, rose to fame and fortune it is not probable that sending in his past to "Who's Who" he would bear down on such lapses from grace Maybe Senator Glass felt the same way when he was filling in his questionnaire. Having been Sec-. retary of the Treasury, the coun4 try's biggest banker, he had innu-. merablc dealings with other banE-" CTS and, since familiarity is sup posed to breed contempt, did not esteem his union brothers tooe highly. In the period when Sen@o ator Glass was merely boss of the Treasury it was a little difficult to tell the difference between some. bankers and Tracy the Outlaw the Riddle Brothers, and the James Boys. What more naturaf,o therefore, than for MT. Glass in,i "Who's Who" to soft pedal his banking days and pull out thed fortissimo stop on his ownershipa of a morning and an afternoon newspaper.
