Family Bookkeeping

More housewives than business women have been taking the night school work in banking, accounting, finance and in- vestments at the University of Pitts burgh, The director explains 1t as one development of the depression. Many women tell him they realize that family funds have not been handled wisely in the past. They intend to improve their own knowledge along these lines.
 Since it has been estimated that women spend 80 to 90 per cent of the family irl- come, it seems well for them to under stand how to keep track of it. No one has yet invented an automobile budget that will correctly divide and spend and record the domestic income by merely turning crspk or pressing button.
 Housewives before now have shown much practical interest in learning about the goods they purchase, looking for quality and quantity in relation to price instead of blindly falling for miscalled bargains or ignorantly assuming that the top price insures top value. The women who combine buying skill with bookkeep- ing training will surely have fewer wor- ries and more satisfaction than formerly in their home-making job.

Living for Poet

The Irish poet, William Butler Yeats, need have no more economic worries. A group of wealthy 1rish-Americans, appre- ciating his work, have established fund to support him for the rest of his life. He can now live, as he says, in dignity and ease"
 It is rather natural thing to do in Dublin; the last abode of the ancient classic spirit. Here is the "otium cum dig nitate" that was provided for Horace and Virgil by the Roman Emperor, Augustus, 2,000 years ago, and by kings and emperors to many a scholar, poet and artist in the Middle Ages and the modern Renaissance. Latterly, we leave these valuable citizens to chift for themselves.

Now Hyman ,Kaplan Turns up in a Book

Readers who have made his acquaintance in the New Yorker magazine will be glad! to know that Hyman Kaplan, he of the trepres- sible spirit and the ,uilquenchable smile,' has now turned up in. the pages of a book, "The Education of H"Y"MsAsN K'AkPL"A'N" (lIar- court, Brace and CO: $2). 1,r%,
 By all odds the most amazing member of the beginners grade at the American Night Preparetory School for Adults. Hynan, the hIain- child of Leonard @. Ross, has cer- tain traits and propensities that have made him one Of the most amusing recruits, to the ranks ofahu- morous flcticnal characters, {.
 A plump, red-faced4 gentleman with wayy hair and as. perpetual bland smile. Hymaa has a llAtr for oratory, and g positive genius Tor squelching his rival classmates at moments when all, for him, seems lost. s,s.,5
 His compositions invariably Haunt the name "H*Y"MsASN. KSAsPs- LAIN" in red, blue, and green crayon, with stars between the let ters. And in every Kaplan paper or oration, the kings English gets a terrific drubbing:1 ". .a a.' .
 Hyman, for instance, refers sor- rowfully to his wtfe's high blood pleasure; delivers an iinpassioned eulogy of Judge Washington and Abram Lincohen"; suggests that the superlative of bad" is rotten"
 As an example of Hyman's adroitness m turning the tables, there is incident in which the entire room is laughing because. in his sample business letter to his, uncle Mandelbaum, Mir. Kaplan he'd used the sentence, If your eye falls on Q bargain, please pick 1t Ip." With calm dignity Iayman quieted his fellows, then struck. s''Mine oncle," he said, '1aasSa gless eye" esi"|

THE SENATOR OVERLOOKS
 HIS RECORD ON FAIR TRADE .
ACT

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Senator George Culhane has been growing so much about his legisla- tive record and about what he did for the little merchant, the work ingman, etc., that am compelled, even against my wishes to call his bluff.
 What jared me of the neutral ity fence was his statement m the Waterbury American as of Sept. 17th: Show me a measure I failed to support in Hartford for the benefit of any group in the City of Waterbury, taxpayers, manufac- turers, merchants, bankers and
 workingmen?" He made this re- mark at 8 Republican Independent Democratic rally in Liberty hall.
 As a merchant, I disagree with the titian-haired legislator whose chief ambition is to fly into the mayors chair on the wings of no definite political party, r' :. vTr,'
 Like hundreds of other small merchants in Waterbury can show the seemingly much confused or absent-minded Senator ONE measure he FAILED. to support at Hartford and which was for the benefit of every small merchant in our fair city. .,
 I refer to the State Fair Trade Act which passed both houses Ot the General Assembly in Hartford, over Mir. Culhane's protest.
 And, without being too forward,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-29

may ask MT. Culhane why he not only voted AGAINST this act but also was the ONLY member of the Senate to take the floor and voice his opposition to this worthy meas ure which has since been ratified by over two-thirds of the states of this country? s
 I ask him if by his legislative record, he doesn't favor the cut rate or chain stores that sell lla- tionally advertised merchandise be- low cost as a BAIT to bring per- sons to their stores and then en- deavor to SWITCH them to un- known similar brands" on which they make from 100 to 200 per cent profit. I ask you, Senator, do you really know what it is all about or were you just simply dumb as to the importance of the measure?
 MT. Culha1e do you believe the small business man is not entitled to living profit on merchandise he sells? Does 1t distress you to witness the small local business man depositing his receipt In local banks? Don't you approve of the small business man owning his own :ozy little home on which he pays ta. es2 Does 1t pain you to see the sl all business man making an aye, lge living so that he can educate his children?
 As civic minded but plain cit- izens, we small merchants 9, ,ainSt whom you voted in Hartf Id, do resent your slur and " II Insult, regardless of our political afai- iations. ',, c. case he doesn't know it, that 42 states in the U. s. A., have passed the fair trade act he voted against. And, may also remind him (before he brags ignorantly again) that the same fair trade act known as the Miller -Tydings bill has been signed by President Roosevelt and that its validity has already been upheld by the United States Supreme court.
 Can 1t be that MT. Culhane sees where 42 states, President Roose. welt and the Supreme Court are wrong but that he ALONE Is right? We think not. There's ar, old saying Let George Do It" but the small business men of Water. bury can not and will not "Let George Do Il" q, "+

Foolish Fires

National Fire Prevention Week is set for October 3-9 It is an occasion which should be of interest to everyone. Fires in this country take 10000 human lives a year They cause property loss ot more than $26O,OOO,000. And most of them are preYentable. In a proclamation calling on all citizens to observe this special week appropriately, President Roosevelt stressed individual reSponSl- bility in the movement to curtail this tre- mendous loss of life and property. .
 Public authorities should fulfill their duties by eliminating fire hazards in pub lie buildings and by keeping fire detec- tion and fire fighting equipment in good condition. Private individuals should look to the possible fire hazards in their own homes rubbish accumulationS, carelessly used matches, chimney flues, inflammable materials, and so on. People who wouldn't dream of throwing their pay checks into bonfire are just as fool ish as that when they carelesSly burn their homes or some of their possessions.
 Just hundred years ago where the modern and progressive city of Toledo, Ohio, now stands there existed swamp. Today Toledo citizens are completing 2 ten-day celebration in honor of their first hundred years. Toledo was the out growth of two small villages, named Port Lawrence and Vistula. They combined as a corporation with a population of, 1900. Where the name Toledo originat- ed no one seems to know However, everyone agrees that once the swamp that was downtown Toledo was filled in the city started to expand. It's natural advantages became apparent. It is to- day ranked as the best port on the Great Lakes It stands right between the great corn belt and grain fields of the Middle West and lake traffic And as an indus trial center the city is known far and wide. Yes, for little community hud- dled around swamp 100 years ago To- ledo has done right well by herself.

On previous trips he used the Pioneer" but the car is being overhauled and was not avail able.
 Like the Pioneer" the "ROald Amundsen" is a Pullman-ow private car. The company has 38 others like them. Rental is $75 a day, plus "cOmmissary" expenses flood, flowers, etc. In. addition the railroad charges IS fares to haul the car. The total cost of the car for the trip will be more than 5000.
 The interior of the "Roald Amundsen" is plain and utilita- rian. The Pullman Company made no changes and the Pres ident asked for none.
 The first compartment is ,. small kitchen with 8 smaller pantry adjoining. The pantry opens into small dining room with a center table large enough !. for six persons with 8 little i crowding. The linen, silver and chinaware is the same as in regular diners. As is his prac- tice in the White House, the President eats breakfast in bed while going over the morning ner with his family and menl- papers. He eats lunch and din-
 bers of his staff.
 Next is a sleeping compartment used by Thomas Qualters, the Presidents personal guard, and a Secret Service man. QualterS and four SS-men are constantly on guard in the car, two at each en- trance. When the train stops the entire staff of SS-men take posi- tions around the car.
 Next to Qualters' compartment is that of Mrs. Roosevelt. It is equipped with 8 bed, placed in line with the cars length, and 8 small bureau. The bed is covered with plain green counterpane. The Presidents drawing-room. : immediately adjoining, is in tne middle of the car. It also IS equipped with 8 bed, placed cross wise to the car, and covered with another plain green counterpane. Attached to this room is a bath room with a shower, all done in cream -colored enamel.
  Radio Reporting s
 Adjoining the Presidents suite is compartment occupied by Jimmy and his wife. Next to them is another quartering Mc- Intyre and Kannee. Completing the car is a small square recep- ;, tion room furnished with several lounging chairs, 8 settee and radio. 4
 On the rail of the rear plat form is . small metal desk. This belongs to the White House and was devised by Colonel Startling, head of the White House guard, to hold the Presidents papers when talking from the plat form. When not used 1t is cOv- cred with . black waterproof jacket.
 The radio men accompanying the President installed loud- speaker system with connection in the dining-car. This permits the newsmen to sit in the car and dash of their dispatches on the Presidents remarks at way-sta- tion stops. Also, several times day, usually during stops in larg- CT towns, telephone wires are strung to the train and the Pres ident and members of his stan talk direct to Washington. 2
