A Book a Day
A Frontier Town Mirrors Nation
 BY BRUCE CATION

Some very good fiction has been rolling off the presses lately, por- traying and interpreting this coun- try, past and present. But probably there has been nothing better done with more of the flavor of the na- tion, than Harold Sinclair's lyrical novel, American Years" Double day, Doran: $2.75).
 From the moment when you meet James Allin, sitting on a stump in the chip-strewn dooryard of his cabin, until you see at last the full emergence of his frontier Everton, H., on the eve of the Civil war, you are whisked along at lively pace. Scores of characters come and go, but MT. Sinclair never fails to vivify them all. It is these rare character delin- cations, in fact, which make this very req dable historical novel. Through these people, MT. Sinclair recreates the life of raw pioneer Everton from its humble rise from the prairie sod in 1880 to its zenith in 1860. And included among these characters are no less important personages than Lincoln, Douglas Jefferson Davis, Zachary Taylor.
 So you have here in the epic story of one town 8 pungent portrait oi America itself. MT. Sinclair sweeps across the whole horizon from the brothels to the Sunday school. The result is vitalized bit of history sure to take its place among the best books of the year-P. G. F.

More For Fairfield County

Comes the news by way of an interview with U. s. Attorney General Homer &. Cummings that federal penitentiary will be built in this state. Through MT. Cummings intercession the new institu- tion seems destined to be built near Dan- bury A site already has been designated on Thomas Mountain, according to the more recent reports. This bit of infor- nation only goes to show that Fairfield County is more than coming into it's own these days.
 The far-famed Merritt Parkway will be formally and officially opened this week with appropriate ceremonies. Of course only part of the route is now ready for use, but this is better than no half, isn't it? Pretty soon the state hospital at Newtown will be doubled in size. And an elaborate system of cross-county park ways is under serious consideration. Just by few miles the county missed out on the new school for mental detectives which is being built in Southbury, just across the county line, but safely in Litch- field County nevertheless.
 Of course the new institution will be federal-built and federal maintained, which may be another feather in Fair field County's hat. AS we understand it the institution will be for prisoners await ing trial and for those whose sentences do not exceed 18 months In other words no Alcatraz will be brought into our midst. Connecticut hasn't had federal prison since good old Newgate up in Enfield was doing duty. This decision of Uncle Sam to locate one here will, no doubt, create all sorts of interest. It will also arouse both criticism and praise

Population GueSSeS Fairfield County Figures Prove That Early Guesses As To Growth Of Numerous Con- munities Would Have Been Proved
 Wrong By Passage Of Time
ng By Passage Of Tim
BRIDGEPORT TELEGRAM

Take Danbury for instance. In 1890 the population of Danbury was 19,473. In 1900 the population was 19,474, Births had gained over deaths by just one person in that ten-year interval. One of the eX- perts, taking these figures and pro- jecting them onto curve in the future, would conclude that Dan bury was standing still and that it would never grow again, that it had reached its peak, that if anything population would be leaving it and following that such a thing as birth control had been brought to public attention to be used as a bugaboo) he might even predict that Danbury would grow progress sively smaller in the future.
 As matter of fact that isn't quite what happened for in 1880 the population of Danbury was 26,- 955.
 An even more impressive example is found in the figures from Fair field. In 1782 Fairfield had popu- lation of 5,276. In 1880 its popula- ton was 3,748. Not only would the statistician be justified eff he didn't know anything about local condi- tions), in predicting that Fairfield had passed its peak and was going backwards but by projecting his curve far enough into the future he might triumphantly point to the fact that by 1880 Fairfield would have no population at all. As a mat ter of fact in 1880 Fairfield had a population of 17,218 and at the pres cnt time its estimated population is 22,O0O.
 Or take Stratford for an example. In 1782 Stratford had a population of 5,453. In 1890 Stratford had a population of only 2,608. Stratford like Fairfield was apparently on its way to extinction-to hear the sta- tisticians tell it. But in 1880 Strat- ford actually had a population of 12,212 and its present population must be in the neighborhood of 24,- 900.

Among the various subjects brought up at the Education convention was the "de- centralization of education' which sub- ject was included in the annual report. Among salient points brought out in the report was this: "In the totalitarian state, state education is the instrument used to regiment the thinking of the peo- pie. No longer is a search for truth encouraged. Propaganda which seeks to enlist the support of all the people for the program of the dictator takes the place Of education" For such reasons as this it was urged in the report that the edu- cation system in this country should op- pose any standardization of control

It looks like the greatest show on earth, the Ringing Brothers Circus, would have to fold up. With business at it's worst the circus heads announced a big cut. The union will not countenance the cut for the thousands of circus performers and workers, so there you are. It used to be an unwritten law in circus and show life that whatever happened the show had to go on. However times are changing and even circuses, which have a tremendous overhead, are having their come uppance so 1t looks like fold-up for the big and little tents

Relative to the National Education Association convention now in session in New York Rev. Fulton J. Sheen in a ser mon to many attending gathering urged religion in education in a sermon deliv- cred by him Sunday. He pointed out that in many instances the intellect had been trained but not the will of the stu dent. Stating where many educators failed he said in part: Chemistry is
 knowledge, but chemistry without vir- tue is modern warfare Philosophy is knowledge, but philosophy without vir- tue is rationalized evil. Law is knowl- edge, but law without virtue is legalized cheating"

The United States did its part. The Senate passed a resolution, Senator Pittman made speech. In fact, this side of the Atlantic did more than its share.
 But there was reason for the hitch. The British had forgot ten to consult the Duke of Alba in advance. The Duke, most potent member of the Spanish royal family, is the Franco rep resentative in England. And he put his foot down.
 Fact was that Spanish rebels (and, more important, Berlin, Rome) did not want any inves- tigation of civilian bombing. It would have shown to the world too conclusively the fact that the bombing was done by Germans and Italians.

Mrs. Caraway reports that she was just as active in this regard and in addition loyal Administration supporter. The President will make a pointed gesture in her behalf during his trip Dr. Isador Lubin, bril- liant head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, started the House and Senate conferees on the wage-hour bill by strenuously ob- jecting to his agency being en- trusted with the enforcement of the new law. This was new ex- perience for tie legislators, since most government heads are always trying to extend their authority.

Aryanism Totters

It is terrible blow to Aryan superiority of Hitler and his Nazis when Max Schmeling, their racial champion, is knocked out by an American Negro in two minutes. No intelligent person, of what ever color, is likely to claim that this proves African Negro stock superior to Aryan stock, but the situation appeals to the American sense of humor and love of fair play.
 Adolf Hitler, a man of little education, somehow learned of the ancient AryanS, accepted the theory of their all-round su- periority to other races and seems to re- gard the modern TeutonS of Germany and Austria as their modern heirs and exemplars. Now he is inexpressibly shock ed. As result, he may insist more than ever on getting those African colonies back.
 AS for Aryanism, little comment may do no harm. The German NaZiS, of course, have no monopoly on such racial origin. It is term used by the ancient Persians and their relatives of northern India. It belongs to the whole Indo-European fam fly, comprising the Greeks, Italians, Celts, Slavs and Teutons, all of whose languages and basic institutions are related and have common origin. Aryan blood by this time has been pretty well mixed, as language has.
 The Hebrews, against whom Hitler is now waging such bitter war, represent another important branch of the human family, the Semitic, which includes the Arabians, the ancient Assyrians and Phoenicians and other groups. They also have become considerably mixed in the course of thousands of years.
 But this is getting rather far from Joe Louis, the Detroit bomber, and the prac- tical questions involved in his latest vic-

THE LITTLE WHITE LINES
(NeW London Day)

The state traffic commission has announced that it has decided to have all the highways of the state marked with white lines, after many years of consideration of this pro- posal. That is, the markings will be placed upon all roads except con- crete highways; on those the lines will be painted only at curves, where they are ordinarily placed now, any, bound macadam, bituminous maca- dam and asphalt roads will all be plainly marked with dotted" lines on the straight away stretches and solid lines on curves and hill crests. Passing will be permitted where the broken lines occur, but not where 8 solid line is seen.
 The states highway department might have done this a long time ago, with excellent results, we be- lieve-providing, of course, the money for the work and for main tenance of the painted lines could be found. Rhode Island was one Of the first states in the east to adopt the practice, and there can be lit tie doubt that the painted lines have saved many lives in that state. One has only to drive on black sur- faced road on a rainy or foggy night to note the difficulties encountered in keeping on the road, and on the right side of it. In fog, particularly, the white lines are invaluable as guide to the driver.
 Even in daylight hours the lines on the pavement serve as a re- hinder to the driver that he should stay on his own side of the road. He is able to judge his position in rela- tion to the center of the highway more accurately, and to allow plenty of room for approaching cars to pass. We strongly suspect that Con- necticut drivers, after a little ex- perience with these painted lane divisions on the highways of the state, will enthusiastically endorse the expenditure of the money in- volved and insist upon keeping the lines reasonably clear and distinct. Of course the program means some considerable expense, for there are thousands of miles of highway in the state, and all of it will probably have to be painted or at least touched up, a couple of times year. But the cost may be said to be neg ligible if it means saving lives and preventing accidents.

Gratifying News

Most hopeful news for democracy and closer relations with the United States keeps Altering up from South America ln increasing volume. Latest of these cheery signs is the orderly and enthusiastic ln- duction of Gen. Alfredo Baldomlr as president of Uruguay. Pledged to restore a democratic and constitutional admin istration and resist Fascism, General Baldomir was greeted with an unprece- dented burst of popular acclaim as ne took over the office vacated by Dr. Gabriel Terra.
 General Baldomir is known to be friendly toward the United States, and there is every hope that his administra- tion will swing Uruguay into closer relationships with America del Norte" rather than with Europe. To see orderly democracy register such sigma! victory in any American country is pleasing, ana especially so in country which, like Uruguay, has in the past resorted to shortcut" methods, and now gives new evidence of attaining its democratic maturity
 The quick squelching of Fascist coup in Brazil by President Vargas was another hopeful sign. The foreign-inspired 1nteg- ralista group was given very short Shrltt by Vargas, who appears to be moving definitely toward more truly demo- cratic regime Colombia and Argentina are bright spots in the southern govern mental Armament, and our nearest southern neighbor, Mexico, quickly stamped out whatever Fascist threat there might have been in the pretensions of Saturnino Cedillo. Whatever one may think of Mexican policies in detail, as re- If oil properties, there is hope in the unques- tioned fact that the Cardenas regime comes nearer being grounded in wide popular support than any regime of re- cent years In Mexico, too, democratic principles are superseding the old fashioned n-with-the-carbine" re- gimes of the past
 Closer relations with several South American countries are being actively fostered. plan to send American farmers to the state of Matto Grozzo in Brazil is being considered. Under the proposal, the two governments would share expenses of transporting the farmers, and Brazil would allot them large tracts of land At least two organizations are active in Rio de Janeiro to foster better relations between the two coun- tries and the American University at Washington has just been given heavy endowment with which it can offer facili- ties for study in that city of students from South America
 The Good Neighbor" policy is more than words It is not impossible that the tide of democracy, ebbing now in Europe, may reverse itself in South America and swell to it's flood in the western hemisphere. Recent events in South America give new hope and inspi- ration to everyone who believes in and loves democracy.
