Much Speculation

Recent elections in Connecticut are causing much speculation as to the line LID of the Democratic party year from now in the state and national elections. Three democratic mayors of large cities are in the steady glare of the public spot light right now. How long 1t will remain on them before wavering and moving to another figure we don't know, but you never can tell how long this beam of light is going to remain fixed. It is about as unconstant as public fancy. At any rate Mayors Thomas J. Spellacy, John w. Mur- phy and Frank Hayes are under scru- tiny.
 The first two are reputed to be on the way up; our own leader on the way down. All this due to what happened in Wa terbury in October and in Hartford and New Haven last week. The stories are many and varied. Mayor Spellacy is both busting Senator Lonergan from his sen- atoral office in 1888 or Governor Cross the same year or two years later Then, too, Moses Berkman of the Hartford Times finds Mayor Hayes retiring from his office of lieutenant-governor provided 1t be filled by "his friend, colleague, and political ally" Thomas J. Spellacy.
 We doubt if Mayor Spellacy would in- sist on busting either Senator Lonergan, Governor Cross or Lieutenant Governor Hayes. The former is fairly well assured of renomination, which should be just about equivalent to reelection. Even New Deal opposition would find 1t hard going right here in Connecticut, were the pow ers that be at Washington to declare war on Senator Lonergan or preserve dis Nnctly passive attitude. The senior sena- tor from the state is entitled to another term on the strength of his record at Washingon, at home, and the fact that he was the first democratic senator elect cd from this state in years and years.
 The gubernatorial situation is complex. It's either Cross or one of the number of eligibles and ambitious gentlemen. The former alternative is the more likely of the two. As to second place on the ticket we can only recall that back in 1884 Waterbury was given the honor be- cause Governor Cross and the Democratic party needed the prestige and strength that Mayor Hayes could bring to them. In our estimation neither has decreased by intervening events. But in 1884 Mayor Hayes accepted nomination solely because he was drafted; he had no real desire for the nomination. The situation is pretty much the same now.

America On the Spot

Anthony Eden, British foreign secre- tary, says that the Brussels peace confer ence is an American party, and, so by irn- plication washes his hands of responsl- bility for its success. He promises to go along, but wants America to lead. It was, to be sure, started by American initiative. But our government has disavowed re- Sponsibility for the results, holding that it has done its duty in bringing the pow CTS together, and from now on it is only one of IS governments equally obligated to seek peaceful solution.
 This is the only position the United States could take without the risk of get ting its fingers burned, and is obviously as far as our people want the government to go. John Bull, bedeviled as he is by the European situation has neither power nor inclination just now to assume much responsibility in the Far East. It may also be true that, in spite of the diplomatic friendliness of the two countries and the general importance of the British empire and the United States sticking together, John wouldn't mind getting Uncle out on an oriental limb. If that happened, Jap an would enjoy saving off the limb, and Hitler and MusSolini would love to help.
 All of which means that the American envoyS at Brussels while trying to per- form service to mankind, have to watch their step,

were transplanted into greenhouse flats, where they continued to grow through the winter months. In the spring they burst into bloom anG the appearance of new berries fol- lowed in due course.
 Six years ago J. A. Ayes entered the business of raising berries com mercially near Tacoma, Washing ton. Large quantities of strawber- rieS, raspberries and blackberries were being produced in the Puyal- lup Valley and prices were poor, Mir Ayes found that the state of Wash ingtor contained only one raiser of blueberries and decided to grow the same crop. He imported his first plants from New Jersey and planted 5000 bushes. Later he built propo- gating sheds and produced lis owil plants, including hybrids some for late and some for early crops. Now his blueberries are shipped to seat- tie and other Puget Sound cities and as far east as Minneapolis. This season his crop was especially good Fasteners who have talked for years about the superlative blueber- ries found "back home" fall silent when they contemplate MT. Ayes cultivated berries, for the largest measure three-quarters of an inch in diameter. The bushes run c thousand to the acre, and the yield runs from 300 to 600 crates of twen- ty-four pints to the acre.

Year Of Accomplishment

Waterbury's police accident squad has proved its worth In its year of existence 1t has definitely become necessary part of the Police Department. It is deserving of all the praise that can be bestowed. It is to be hoped, too, that in the years to come the squad will continue to reflect the confidence that has been put in 1t and will return as rich dividends as 1t has since November of 1886.
 The average person might comment that accidents on our Waterbury streets still continue. He might point to the re- cent hit-and-run cases. But somebody else could point to the fact that two of the cases are already solved, one of them primarily through the excellent work of the accident squad. That the unsolved eases will be "broken" eventually is un- doubted. We feel sure that the entire squad from It's heads down to the last mo- tor patrolman will continue to contrib ute efficient service.
 Accident prevention does not lie entire ly In patroling streets and highways and making addresses. There is more to 1t than that. Street safety is something that must be taught and in this respect Waterbury has not been found wanting. The accident bureau has cooperated to a remarkable extent in bringing home to the general public ways and means by which 1t can cooperate both as pedestri- ans and motorists in preserving life along the highways. Waterbury's record is ir1- pressive; the accident squad must be 1rl- cluded in the general vote of praise.

If the police want speedway to pa. trol they need only drive back and forth along the Middlebury road from the town line into the Country Club road. It's proving a fine stretch for commuters to speed along on their way to and from work and we're surprised that there aren't more accidents. One of these fine days there's going to be bad one out there. Numerous children use the bus to get to school in the morning and it's just about the hour they are at various points along the road that the motorists are go- ing the fastest. There is one stretch near the Oronoke school that is extremely dan gerous. We've heard people comment on the way the cars hum along this part of the road and how dangerous 1t is for the youngsters going to the nearby school and those who take the bus in to Russell school. Warning signs don't seem to make much impression on the drivers who average 50 miles per hour on the straight away.

Armistice Day for Peace

The attitude of the parents and min- isters who refused to take part in their community's Armistice day because the arrangements were in charge of the American Legion and "glorified war" is not widely held. Who should be more interested in observing Armistice day than the men who were enrolled to fight In the World War. War? Yet there is food for thought in the protest against

The job of laying a new surface along Meadow street near the railroad station didn't take very long. Despite the diff culties of operation the work was com pleted over the weekend and the thor oughfare now ranks with many others around the city for smoothness. Water bury certainly is well prepared for the winter so far as its central and main streets are concerned. If Baldwin and South Main Streets could only be com pleted before snow flies the city would be completely resurfaced, so to speak. It's interesting to watch the life of city pavement. Check off some of the new ones on your calendar and see how long before traffic has taken its toll.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York. Nov. 9-All Around the Town: The local havoc wrought by the Windsors' cancelled tour cannot be over- estimated.
 How many publicists are there, left holding the bag and frustrat- cd tie-ups with this and thatl Columnists have been struck short and 50 have their various proenostications. It has put aa abrupt end to the rumor market, which dropped to zero with the official bulletin of the cancelled trip. The smart night clubs have little to look forward to any more.
 And the etiquette experts no longer care If the Duke ought to be addressed as Your Royal Hign- ness, Sire or Sir. His prospective hosts, as goes without saying, are broken -hearted. And the number of social aspirants who are now run- ming around, untangling and break ing their plans for the Dukes rec ception, would fill Madison Square Garden.
 Second. Guessing the Duke
 The New York set closest to the Windsors has opinions of It's own about the whole affair.
 As the chatter runs across tables in the haunts Of the spend- thrift, that charmed circle resents the Windsors' blundersome plan ming of this American excursion. They do not quite understand why the Duke should have com- plicated his visit with Q profeSsed interest in industrial topics and housing technicalities, when he could be coming over In the care- freo capacity of . traveller out for pleasure-a bridegroom bring ing his bride to her homeland.
 They are discreetly skeptical of the Dukes profound interest In sociological affairs, ard venture that he could have avoided all the clamor had he bluntly an- rlounced that he and the Duchess were coming over for sightseeing and fun. Tho Duke did not lose esteem, they argue, when he made his friendly gesture toward Hitler, but because he surrounded his American visit uI 6 halo of pretentiousness.
 They would have preferred to have had him come over, as he did when he was the Prince of Wales: eager for light-hearted d. versions with his host of friends.
 
 Essence of Generosity
 Among other attributes for which George M. CohanS Japanese valet, Mike, is remarkable, Is his skill in the connection of highly exotic per- fumes. Tn his spare time-when he Is not attending to the apparel of the great c. M.--Mike tinkers with formulas and produces cologne scents that have the praise Of professional perfumers.
 And Mir. Conan Is helping to popularize them. He presents Mikes special blends to his friends and to the folk who play with him in the current hit, "I'd Rather Be Right" and he has special labels made Up for them. When he gave Joy Hodges, the pretty, young ingenue in the show, 6 gift of perfume the other evening, he had Mike label the fancy bottle, Essence dc Joy"

Selected Poem
MEDITATION

(Nellie B, Mace in the Christian Science Monitor) stood beside patient river not like The great river, which IS Hiddeke, where you man greatly beloved stood yet like. I rested there, beneath the cedar trees, Noted the butterflies the flowers, the bees Felt the lowering sunshine pierce the shade; yet Turned I from this soft and tranquil beauty To contemplate the little waves that fret, And larger waves that rise and swirl and break Inevitably drawn upon the breast Of calm and deeper current toward their rest Within the sea-
 You, Daniel who met the might Of hate and subtlety with love; who knelt Before the vision; listened. and stood upright Beside the river, river Hiddekel, Where waves successive, and clashed and fell: You saw the nations--saw the Persian hare Saw 0recan, Syrian power follow power-- And saw the deep resistless current bear Each onward toward the sea Of saked desire. Before you knet and stood beneath the trees Did you note the roSe the iris, lily, bees? For flowers bloom by rivers and in empire As each flows onward, until lost in sea, "Tl tho end be:
 Till the wise shall understand"

The first blueberries ever raised from the seed to fruit-bearing stage In twelve months were picked recently at the University of New Hampshire. To get fruit on a young plant originating from seed would ordinarily take four years; Dr. w. w. Smith, research assistant In horticulture, cut three years off the period. He chilled the ripe berries In a refrigerator, thus taking them out of their rest period and setting
 the life cycle ahead. Then the skin of the fruit was broken to give the seeds freedom to grow. The next step was to plant the seeds, still in contact with the moist flesh of the fruit, which prevented them from drying out in peat moss. AS soon as the tiny pants appeared they

 A rich, oplnionated and gaily colorful book Is Thomas Hart Rentons autobiography, "An Art- ist in America" (McBride: $S.7b);
 MT. Benton, famous as e pa'nt-, or of murals which depict America unprettified ana unadorned, tellA here how he became on artist. how he tramped and wandered up, down and across the country, how he changed from lily.fin- gered aesthete to he.man painter of things as they are, and what he found out about his country in his years of studying 1t and paint-, ing 1t. ,'
 Son of c practical Missouri poll it!cian, Benton had tho urge to draw pictures from early child. hood his first mural was c pen- ciled choe.choo train on the wall- paper of his parents front hall- Way--and his matter-of-fact fa- ther was considerably disturbed to learn that he had sired on art. list.
 Studies in Chicago, Paris and New York left Benton up in tho air. He became c poseur among poseurs, mouthing the jargon Of the studios and trying 10 convince himself that the distractions no painted had real significance.
 Then came the war. Benton got in the navy and was put to iflak- ing sketches of Norfolk navy yard. That settled him. He found out that looking ct real things and then making pictures of them was bet- ter than breeding in Q studio over 0 bowl of dropping Inar!golds. He went to work In earnest after tho war and became one of modern America'g most distinctive, and distinguished, artists.
 All of this he sets forth in his book; and what makes the book so extremely readable .s the inc mense gusto with which he tells 1t al. Clearly, he hos enjoyed life, has understood his fellowA. Americans and has had on under. standing and sympathetic eye for the details of their work and play. %

PressComment
FRANCIS P. CARAVAN
(New York Herald -Trjbune)

Francis P. darvan used the law as c stepping g-stone to @ career in aid of applied science which won him the only layman ever to receive it the Priestley Medal of the American Chemical Society. But If his con- tribution to human advancement ifl this field was his main preoccupa- ton, 1t was one of many interests only less significant and socially valuable.
 It is, of course, as organizer and president of the Chemical Founda- ton that he will best be remembered The foundation purchased from the United States government the Ger
 man chemical patents, trademarks and copyrights which 1t had seized during the war and of whose value MT. darvan, as alien property GUS. todian, had become fully aware. Il was his notion that they should bt controlled in trust for the domestic industry which was to spring from their use and which is now the fourth largest industry in the coun- try. It was also his notion that the proceeds from their lease should be devoted to research and to the spread and stimulation of scientific educa- ton. And here again his vision hai borne amazing fruit.
 His generous philanthropieS were marked with the same wisdom. Yale his alma mater, is ( conspicuous beneficiary from both his gifts and his counsel. He prepared 1t for ita present expansion of plant by help- ing 1t to gain possession of contigu- ous real estate, thus preventing the scattering of its new buildings. ono of his favorite charities was the Trudeau sanatorium, to which like- wise he stood in the relation of the thoughtful giver. He was as free with his attention to the needs he met ai he was with his purse, which is per- haps the test of the true benefactor
