Mandatory Jail Sentences

A good many people are entirely in sympathy with the bill that was passed in the House this week which would in- pose mandatory jail sentence upon drunken automobile driver. We don't know whether this means driver who is involved in an accident or just any driver who might be stopped by the police and accused of being drunk. Whether it does or doesn't, it is going to cause our legislators, if the bill becomes an actual law, to define the meaning of a drunken driver. Opinions vary on that subject.
 We've read good many articles on the reaction of the human brain to alcohol. No two of them are in agreement. Few of the authorities on the subject have iS- sued in authoritative fashion a treatise which might be used by enforcement agents all over the nation as guide-book or set of rules for their convenience in making arrests and procuring convic- tionS for persons, charged with drunken driving. It's very delicate subject and one that has so many ins and outs that it would be most difficult to escape some difficulties in enforcing the law.
 Not that we want to see our highways strewn with the wreckage of cars nor stained with the blood of motorists. Every well-intentioned citizen today gives heed to the need of more safety on the highways. We don't think that there was ever time when drivers were not more careful than they are right now. And certainly the car manufactur- CTS are cooperating to the fullest extent with fool-proof automobiles and the la test in equipment to make possible more careful operation.
 The drunken driver should be dealt with sternly, but we still want to know who is going to be the drunken driver Will it be the sedate citizen, who may have visited his best friend, imbibed of glass or two of liquor, started home, be- came involved in an accident, is arrested, and when asked if he had anything to drink prior to the crash must of neces- Sity say yes. The accident may not have been his fault, but must he be branded drunken driver? We've got to know first who are the menaces on the highway drunken drivers, drivers who have had drinks or just careless drivers?

Human Flying Squirrel

The first airman, Icarus in the old Greek story, fell into the sea when the sun melted the glue with which his wings were fastened. Clem Sohn, American Icarus from Lansing, Michigan, fell to the earth at Vincennes, France, the other day, after flight that IcaruS himself would have admired
 Glenn had rigged up small wings Of light canvas, fastened to his arms and legs on both sides like the membranes of a flying squirrel, supplemented by wedge of canvas between his legs. Thus, with his limbs spread he was able to con- trol his movements while in swift motion. He would dive from an airplane two miles high, and fit about as he descended at the rate of 2,OOO feet minute. He had a light parachute folded on his back, which he used to break the force of his descent for the last few hundred feet. This time, when he pulled the cord, the chute failed to open.
 Well, it was a glorious career while it lasted Here was Darius Green who really made good, and an Icarus in real life = the original was doubtless only fairy-tale hero. Clem loved cavortlng about in the air, and belonged to the small, enviable group of human beings that are literally without fear. But it's risky business, as risky as any ever tried or imagined. Better not try it, boys.

It's Anyone's Fight

That the question of packed" Supreme Court is one attracting and exciting the interest of every American can hardly be doubted by the man who keeps abreast of what's what in the news. Not day passes but new proponent of the court plan or an opponent pops into view. Democratic State Chairman J. Francis Smith dropped down to Wash ington last week and stated most con- vincing argument against the Roosevelt plan.
 We still think the Waterbury party leader made a good showing before the Senate committee but our next column neighbor, James w. FitzPatrick differs. Being perfectly within his own rights in voicing an individual and not dictated point of view, we can merely probe into his complaints and find out just why he finds the state chairman fallen from his pedestal by reason of his recent Capital. visit
 As to a defense of MT. Smith and his stand against the Roosevelt court plan, neither hardly needs our support. MT. Smith ably proved he can defend himself last week and no doubt if moved will take this latest in stride As to continued opposition of the court plan by the Dem- ocrat, the weather's growing a bit too nice for us to spoil spring gardening with pickering.
 We might point out, though, that one reason MT. Smith paid an unexpected visit to Washington to air his views on the court plan was undoubtedly his complete interest in the future of his party and his determination to oppose so far as he might any efforts to break it down by what he considered forces from within.

$1OO,OOO,OOO a month. We might thus accumulate all the loose gold in the world, if it were not for the fact that production has now risen to almost the same amount.
 What is done with these gold imports? They are used largely to buy American securities. Thus foreign investors are buying into our big industries. The power they obtain over our stock market is not pleasant to think about A big foreign selling wave might start panic. Besides, all that gold, while doing us no good, hurts the other nations that are deprived of it, upsetting their money sys- tens and interfering with international trade.

Elimination of the State Highway Commission by creation of a Public Works Department is being whispered around the Capitol. And republicans are afraid they stepped into something when they joined with democrats in rushing through the reorganization measure that created the new department. The House had passed the measure some time ago, but the Senate only put it across Thurs day afternoon and then under suspension of the rules. Now that republicans in both branches have had chance to ex- anime the set-up of the new department, they are becoming just bit suspicious that it may mean an custer for Conmis
 sioner John A. Macdonald who has been the one republican commissioner appar- ently able to hold his job during a yer itable turnover from republicans to democrats. If it proves to be so, then the democrats will have really put across their first bit of political strategy since Gov Cross went into office back in 1881.

"Hot" Gold

The hottest gold on record was that owned by Midas, the ancient, mythical king in Asia Minor. He had rich gold mines, and accumulated SO much of the metal that he was the wealthiest man in the world. The tradition is that, arous- ing envy and hate, he was killed by hav- ing his own gold melted and poured down his throat.
 The story seems to have foreshadowed something like what is happening to Uncle Sam He now has more than half the known gold in the world nearly $12,- 0,000,0 ,000 at present, with more pouring into his treasury all the time. The quan- tity has tripled since 1882 It is still com ing in at the rate of more than

It's extremely noticeable how the cli- mate can vary in so short distance as thirty miles. For example flowers are much more advanced down in New Haven right now than they are home here in Waterbury. And that's true every year. Of course the Elm City's proximity to the Sound is probably ac- countable. You can notice the effects of the salt water on all the Connecticut communities along the shore line Down towards the New York line, it's even more noticeable A trip from the shore to the northern part of this state would be like going from hot-house to bar ren land.

Selected Poem
AFTER THE RAIN

AFTER THE RAIN (Leone Rice Grelle, Mount Carmel, in the
 New Haven Journal-Courier) After the rain the quietness Save for the dripping sound Where raindrops, delayed in their mission, Speed to the waiting ground. After the rain the fragrance; Scent of the mellowed earth Promising flowers with the morrow; Heralding Springs re-birth. After the rain, a robin
 Blessing the wet, clean things Singing his gallant praises; Testing his dear, small wings. Running across the meadow Chirruping, just for the fun ... After the rain, the gladness; After the rain-the sun!
