TODAY,S HOROSCOPE

You should be a capable business
man or woman who will be well serv-

necessary to keep out watchful eye,
perhaps on yourself as much as your
associates to be sure that nothing I'M
demanded is ever done that may stir
up strife or envy, for there is great
danger indicated of loss of other
wealth or reputation from these caus-

Senate and Representative Clarie receives the same distinction in the House. Senator J. Kenneth Bradley and Representative Swayne were voted the two members of this ses- sion whose reelection is most needed by the state. The income tax was called the most needed legislation and revision of statutes on the prac- tice of law to protect attorneys the least needed.
 Judgeships Saved.
 After the first inaugural parade left the stage in search of the gov- ernor, the House was called to or der by newspaperman portraSing Speaker Bell. Succeeding Skits showed Representative Stanley F. Mead, chief proponent of the jail farm, losing not only his shirt but his trousers when he engaged in a crap game with some of the pris- onerS at the proposed institution, Representatives John s.

AWARD GECHAN
 BRONZE PLAQUE
Stakeholder Corp. Takes Official COgnizance of
 Five-Year Service

Joseph P. Geghan today received word from The Studebaker Corpo- ration at South Bend, Indiana, that he will shortly receive an award of honor from the Corporation in the form of a bronze plaque in recog- milton of his five years period of service as a Studebaker dealer.
 Presentation of the plaque will be made in the near future by Mir. E. A. Travis, District Manager of the New York Branch at the Geghan Motors, Incorporated show rooms.
 When informed of the award to- day, MT. Geghal1 expressed his ap- preciation of this recognition of his services.
 "The Studebaker Corporation has always provided their dealers with an outstanding product based on the tradition of giving a little more tor your money than you expect" said MT. Geehan.
 During the past year Stakeholder sales in Waterbury have increased very substantially as has been the case nationally. The steadily tn- creasing volume of local Studebaker sales is the strongest evidence ob- tainable of public acceptance of the new 1897 models" he added.
 My association with The. Stude- baker Corporation and with its rep resentatives in the field during the past five years, has been both pleas ant and profitable and, as one of the great army of Studebaker deal- CTS throughout the world, I can honestly say that The Studebaker Corporation has always lived up to the title bestowed upon 1t by it's dealers some years back - The Friendliest Factory in America" ! l. 2 [.

My dears don't consider the coronation, Not with the clothes you wear; You should completely change your wardrobe If you aim to shine over there. I'd advise you not to leave this country, They'd take you for a sort of tramp; You might do here for camping weekend But in England they'd sort of cramp Your style, really, I'm not kidding,
 You've got to dress up for this binge. Correct attire is indicated,
 With even passementerie and fringe If you ask me wouldn't advise 1t, You'll resemble couple of tacky tacks; Shortsl good gosh, are you crazy?
 And you're likely to get jailed in slacks My dears, don't consider the coronation; With your clothes it would be sin; If you ever appeared in Bond Street. I'm sure bobby would run you in.

Washington, April 29-- Lots ot statistics pour out of the various government bureaus these days, but there is one thing on which there issues not single statistic.
 That is the rising tide of govern ment payrolls. The latest word or that is from the Presidents Com mittee on Administrative Manage ment, which is authority for tho statement that between June 30 1882, and June 30, 1935, the civilian employees of the executive brancf of the federal government increased from 578,231 to 824,259. That is gain, in four years, of 246,028, ol more than 40 per cent.
 Perhaps that gives you cue as
 to why it is always hard to trim
 federal expenses. Every one of
 these employees defends his job resOlutely, and most of them have direct influence with congressman
 who appointed them. When you
 cut budgets, you cut jobs. And
 that's where the shoe pinches. Incidentally, this rise is ten
 dency that runs throughout all government, not merely the fed eral government at Washington,
 though attention centers here at the moment. In 1891 there were
 82 people working for national,
 state and local governments for
 each 100000 of population. In 1891 there were about 25O. In 1911,
 around 400. And today nearly 600. The New York Trust Co. not long
 ago estimated that in 1884 10 per cent of the national income was
 being paid to government office
 holders in salaries, federal, state
 and local.
 Admittedly it would reduce gov. ernment operation costs to cut these rolls, but the thing usually assumed that many of these people do little or nothing-isn't true. It is simply that during the last four years something like 50 new government bureaus and agencies have been sci up which never existed before. Very few have been abandoned. It takes people to man them, and you cant cut personnel to any real extent without abandoning whole functions and activities. And that is where the congressional shoe pinches, moi to mention the pin bricks from con- stituents who most be looked after in their jobs.
 Criss- Crossed Party Lines
 Party lineups are doing some strange dances these days. The statement of former President Hoover praising the recent Supreme Court labor decisions left some re- publicans gaping.
 But what will they think when they learn that Ogden Mills has
 been giving a series of lectures
 before the New School for Social Research in New York? The New
 School is known to be somewhat less conservative than Calvin Coolidge.
 Mills, discussing at the New School the future of the republi- can Party, said: "It is the sole residuary legatee of the tradition in the United States that the in- dividual man has rights inde- pendent of and prior in nature to government. and that no govern ment may deny him these rights
