More Efficiency
Declared Key to
Higher Wages

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, (UP) -
The solution to the problem OF
raising wages and at the same
time reduce working hours must
be found in greater efficiency in
industry, according to Gerard
Swope, president of the General
Electric Company
In an address before test and
training course men, Swope said
this solution could never be
achieved by law.
He told the men to develop an
understanding of labor, and to
avoid any feeling of superiority
their ucational advantages
might give them.
"All legislation curtails personal
liberty Swope said, in reply to a
question as to whether present.

FEWER TURKEYS PER
PERSON NOW THAN IN 1890

Considering the growth OF the
human population, turkey growers
of today still have a considerable
way to 60 before they catch up
with the turkey growers back in
the 1800's, a report of the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics shows.
For example, back in 1890, turkey
growers raised enough turkeys SO
that every five people would have
had one turkey. In 1886, the year
of the big crop Of turkeys, growers
provided only enough to go around
at the rate of one turkey to every

The loans are promulgated as q

leads to delinquency. The same sit- uation has given rise to two en- tlrely different types of behavior.
 Mental Hygiene
 Mental hygiene has contributed much to an understanding Of de- linquency, particularly delinquency of the individual. Social and ecom- ic factors are reasons why there are more delinquents in one ara than another, but they do not account for the reasons for delinquency in one child in the family and not ail- other. It is from this standpoint of dealing with the individual de- linuuent that mental hygiene has much to offer, and agencies dealing with particular delinquents have utilized the skill and knowledge that the, psychiatrist brings to this prob lem, Dr. Cunningham said. Since the juvenile court is the place where most delinquents arrive sooner or later, these courts make wise use of psychiatric studies of children to determine whether or not Q child is feebleminded, SO that the court may know whether the child is to be committed to & correctional in- stitution or. to Q school for mental detectives,

tercups and daisies-trying to catch grasshoppers and butter flies, and watching and wonder ing about the birds that kept house up among the shining leaves in the trees and sang such beautiful songs and flew so easily wherever they wanted to go; but in all this enchanted place, what meant the most to me was two perfectly lovely ladies who be- longed exclusively to me and were my inseparable and devoted com panions and who lived alone with me in a pretty white house with green blinds on a village street.
 Of my two lovely ladies-the younger one, in her mid-twenties, with the snapping black eyes and jet-black hair and energetic step was my mother; and the mid- dle-aged lady with the kind face and gentle voice, who made such wonderful cookies and gingerbread and apple and berry tarts and turnovers, expressly for me,-was my mothers mother.
 The steady lovelight in the eyes of my lovely ladies-for each other and for me-11ever dimmed, and I was very happy.
 The first clearly definite day of my remembrance was 6 certain fateful FOURTH OF JULY which I came to know later fell in the year 1863, when I was 5 years old. " .. '.. #
 To me, at the time, the big events of that day were the flre- crackers and torpedoes that was shooting in our front yard and the neighbor,S children were shooting in their yards--and the cannon that was booming down on the village green. '.
 It was in after years that l came to know how the, big cannon and howitzers boomed and roared and thunderde at Gettysburg that day-where my l8 year old uncle Fred and my grandfather were;

Hospital treatment was requested yesterday by Raymond "Norristown Red" Gray, held as Q material wit- ness at New Haven jail after his recovery here from c bullet wound suffered in an affray on East Main street, August 18th. Judge Edwin O.. Dickenson in the superior court signed an order presented by As- sistant States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald by which Gray may be examined by a doctor and, if the report. shows he is suffering from the wound in the abdomen which nearly caused his death, he may be removed to Q New Haven hospital.
 Gray, shot by Jack Levine alias Jack Davis, at large and for whom 0 warrant charging assault with in. tent to murder is held by local police, is held in lieu of $2,600 bonds. He refused to admit that he could identify his assailant when present. ed before Judge Edward J. Finn of the court of common pleas for de- termination of what course would be taken in his case.
 Members of Q carnival troupe, Gray was shot following e series of arguments by Levine who escaped and since has been sought through out the country. !"

and also that Vickshurg surren- dered to General Grant that day where my father was; but young though l was, I well remember how strange @ day 1t seemed, for while the faces of my lovely ladies were always smiling when they looked toward me, I was vaguely conscious of anxiety and serious conversations between themselves and with passing neighborS who would stop for @ moment at our gate.
 My lovely ladies took turns in helping me with my flrecrackers, while the other attended house affairs-and often while grandma would be with me outdoors, we would hear the piano playing and my mother singing.
 Her voice was contralto, and she sang, as she spoke, with remark able expression. Julia Ward Howe's BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC had been published two years at that time, and my mother sang 1t with thrilling ef- feet. well remember how 1t moved me that day-so that I im- pulsively stood very erect, pulled my little blue cap, that l called my bold soldier cap, tight on my head, set my jaws firm, and look up with ainstinctive-u -under- standing at the BEAUTIFUL FLAG that waved from our upper chamber window.
 I well recall that as the day advanced the mysterious anxiety increased-and that after I had had my regular afternoon nap, my lovely ladies closed the house and took me with them down the street to the postof1ce, and then over to the railroad station where

Reminiscent Story of Civil War Days as Told By John Barr-Wins Praise of
 Dr. DinSmOre

With tOday's lnstalIment of the first of . series Of stories under the title up to Seven," John Barr, feature writer of the Water bury Democrat staf, realizes an ambition. He has gathered into one story rec0IlectiOns of incidents of his bOyh0Od days, a period highlighted by historical events. The events described are as he recalls them and as he has treaS- ured them for more than three score, ten years. They are events incidentally that made American history. They cover . period of pre- Civil War days, the summer of the famous Lincoln DOuglsS de- bates in 1858 to the tragic death of President Lincoln In 1865. They are most interesting, entertaining and informative. The Democrat is pleased to be the medium of re- cOrding MT. Barr'S "reminiscences.

To many it may seem that there is little connection between mem tai disorder and delinquency, but to the student of human behavior they have much in common, since they are both the results of human malAdjustments, Dr. Cunningham explained, speaking in the depart ment's weekly broadcast this morn- ing. When 1t Is realized that the person with mental disorder is merely behaving in way that is unusual and that the delinquent is behaving in an unusual way of which society disapproves, 1t can be seen that both have the common ground of being types of human behavior. The pSychiattist is pri- marily interested in what makes humans behave the way they do, and has discovered that many mem tal maladjustments grow from the same type of causes that .delin- quancy does.
 By way of illustration, pr. Cum ninghann cited the case of an intel lectually dull child who, whether he likes 1t or not must 90 to school until he reached Q certain age. One child of this type may respond by becoming sensitive, shy, dread school, have little to do with others and spend much time day-dreain- ing. If this becomes habitual, he may reach the point where he can no longer tell what he day-dreaIns and what actually happens. He then has 0 mental disorder. Another child of the same type may rebel, hate school, play hockey, fight with others and the like. This in turn

For tn my case-after being properly bathed, and attired in Q clean white nightgown, and my tousled head--that had worn my bold soldier-cap" all day, was encased in Q white nightcap that fitted over my ears and was tied in a bow-knot under my chin--the same as grown-ups of that time. After this preparation, I rever- ently knelt beside my two lovely ladies and said my prayers while was wide-awake and knew what was talking about. And then instead of being cold-heartedly chucked into bed while the grown ups returned to a chereful sitting room, my lovely ladies made a chair of their four clasped hands and l climbed into 1t and circled an arm around each neck-and thus was I gaily borne back to the sitting-room where grandma sat in her rocking -chair and resumed her sewing, and my mother-with me, very, very comfortable in her lap, occupied our rocking-chair.
 Though getting deliciously drowsy, I could still ask questions:
 DO soldiers wear night-caps?" "No, dear, they have to sleep on the ground with their uniforms on. But when the war is over and they come back home-they'll wear their night-caps again."
 DO the PRESIDENT and his little boy, Tad, wear night-caps2"

 T had heard MT. Pickwick's name mentioned, and sure enough there he was with Q 'night-cap' on, tied under his chin. And sleepy aS I had been growing, MT. Pickwick's appearance had the effect of rousing me wide. awake. I noticed that he didn't look happy--that he was excited- ly trying to unite the strings that fastened his night.cap under his chin--and that there was an ans looking lady in the room with MT. Pickwick.
 This required on explanation, and SO my lovely ladies told Do about MT. Pickwick's perfectly in- nocent predicament-and we all had c good laugh over 1t.
 And so the evening passed in the pretty white house with the green blinds on the village street, on July 4th, 1868; anud l had no recollection of actually going to bed'--for my first knowledge that was in bed, came when l woke up with e whoop and a hurrahl to find that. 1t was fnorning-with the sunshine streaming through the windows and the roosters ofn- cially proclaifning it;-and my last dreamy remembrance Of the night before, being of my comfortable position In my mothers arms, her beautiful voice softly sing ing stephen Posters old Uncle Ned, grandma sitting near by, sewing--and the pictures on the wall of my father and grand. pa and Uncle Fred, in their Sol- dierS uniforms and of the PRESIDENT, and his little boy, Tad. that l had taken c great liking to.
