Keeping the Faith With St. Patrick

The Irish world today honors it's patron, Saint Patrick. By Irish world is understood Fire or Ireland and all those countries with some Irish population, chiefly our own. All manner of special observance is in order today. Patrick, whose early life is little known, was person of great religious vision. Likewise he brought vast degree of culture along with faith to Ireland and to the world as well as converting the former from Druidism to christianity. What Patrick did for the country he converted was lasting Ireland becoming and remaining through the centuries since the fifth an example of holding the faith. Changing regimes and rulers, storm and stress from within and without have never affected Ireland in her religious beliefs In this way that country stands out as an ex- ample to the world where nations blow hot and cold and discard their faith to follow new trends, new ideas and ideals, the question of christian ethics or religion becoming secondary or excluded entirely.
 St. Patrick gave to Ireland something that she has kept. We venture to say that if the great apostle lived today he might again find it eXpedient to pluck from the green earth plant of three leaves that he might explain the mysteries of the Trinity. There are today ether modern apostles preaching the word of God as did Patrick, but it seems to be the trend of the dIM< in many instances, to listen to anoth A2ort of talk which promises very mucH Hout gives Christian religious beliefs a wide berth.
 St. Patrick's day has come to be an went for much publication. To many it is just another day to make merry and celebrate, which is all fine and proper It is day to be light-hearted and day Q be serious in the thought of nation subject to many prosecutions in the past. It is said that abundant graces are given to the persecuted, and great example of this is the little island brought to con- version by Saint Patrick in the fifth cep- tury, a country that has kept it's faith through troublesome times since Patrick's time

American Chemical Society Such fuels go under the general name of hydrocar- bons, compounds of hydrogen and carbon.
 Many farm crops" he says, "can be converted into alcohol, which in turn can be readily converted into hydrocarbons. For instance, the pine industry in the south provides turpentine and rosin, which consist of hydrocarbons easily con- vertible.
 "The chemists work in this field repre- sents the beginning of an effort to free man from his dependence on stored raw materials. Ultimately the farm chemur- gic movement will put man on a pay-as- you-go basis in terms of raw materials, instead of having him constantly drawing out of savings bank of raw materials which nature has accumulated through millions of years"
 Henry Ford and the Du Fonts also have been talking in this way of "chemurgy', meaning the application of chemistry to industrial use, by conversion of natural or agricultural materials. It is one of the things that make the future of the hu- man race look more secure and pleasant, provided we can learn to get along with out war And chemurgy should make war less necessary or justifiable, because nations without large mineral resources may grow substitutes for them on the land.

Flood Control at Any Price

Judging by the remarks of the several speakers at the annual meeting of Con- necticut civil engineers in Hartford this week the flood control issue is still very much alive in New England. Governor Wilbur L. Cross made stirring plea for relegation of politics to the background in all considerations of the problem of providing adequate flood control in the Connecticut River valley. He made a plea for some form of control rather than nothing at all.
 The federal government may respond 70 that by saying it has plan of control all ready for the New England states, if and when it is ready to accept on Uncle the states and the federal government parted company last year and where they probably will continue to part company so long as the states exercise little or no control over what they consider their own natural resources. Sooner or later we think the states will have to provide themselves with their own flood control system at their own expense.
 General Sanford H. WadhamS, direc- tor of the State Water Commission, pointed out to the engineers that the problem facing. New England is not pe- culiar to this section of the country, but is every states In other words he be- lieves that if one state surrenders it's river rights, such as are demanded of the four involved in New England with regard to electric power generation, then the same course of action could be followed by the federal government in any state where it might be providing funds for similar purposes.
 All of which might make Uncle Sam out as strict overlord in dispensing his funds for such purposes as flood control. It also proves that what New England wants is not control administration like the IVA, but simply some federal aid in protecting it's many communities in river valleys that are subject to spring freshets and seasonal floods, causing heavy property damage and possible loss of life

Biggest Petition

The women of England have spoken. What is perhaps the greatest petition ever submitted to any legislative body was presented to the British House of Com- mons early this month. It was borne in by g attendants and laid down in Al bundles before the speakers desk There were 8O4,OOO signatures, all women's
 The women of England were complain ing about an ancient grievance, the cost of living. They asked the removal of all taxes, tariffs and trade restrictions i'm posing burdens on consumers.
 Will their petition be granted? Hardly. The British government is still carrying a very heavy burden of interest charges on the public debt incurred in the last war, and at the same time is spending several billions for rearmament. Average taxes there are much higher than in the United States No nation arms and cuts taxes at the same time.

According to advices from the State Highway Department up-tc-date maps of our system of roads are now available. The new maps that have just been pre- pared also contain for the first time the Merritt Parkway. This is sufficient to cause rush on the department for copies, as many of us who have ideas about the highway are still more or less in ignorance of it's exact course across Fairfield County. Map-making has cer- tainly developed since the automobile came into style Remember those early maps that were prepared in book form with the elaborate directions for travel ing from one city to another? Modern highway maps only need to provide the motoriSt with the route numbers to allow him to plot straight course all the way across the continent. Incidentally on the new Connecticut map the route num- bers are printed right on the highway lines instead of to one side as in the past.

The fight to have John Fitch recog- nized as the real American inventor of the steamboat has just been carried to the Massachusetts Legislature It is launched through the efforts of great great-great nephew of Fitch of whom we had something to say in these columns a few weeks back. Congress, of course, has taken recognition of Fitch's accomplish ments and sooner or later we think it will be pretty generally accepted that he really provided the nation with the first working steamboat. Certainly Connecti- cut should play some part in this fight, for John Fitch was born in this state.

ment by pointing to the situation in the congress of the United States, where the states have equal repre- sentation in the senate, regardless of population.
 In this defense of what has been called rotten borough" system, through which Republican machine control was long perpetrated, much is ignored that is pertinent. There would be no general objection to a system whereby the towns, as such, were equally represented in one house of the legislature, if represen- tation in the other house was dis tributed according to population. That would be exactly comparable to the situation in the federal con- gress, where equal state represen- tation in the senate is offset by a situation in the house whereby con- gressmen represent districts of equal population.
 That is the situation which MT. Swayne describes as existing in Connecticut. It is not the situation which exists.
 Neither house in Connecticut is organized in accordance with the federal formula. In the lower house the towns are not equally repre- sented, as the states are in the Uni ted States senate. The famous ex- ample is the town of Union, small est in the state, whose 196 people are represented by two members in the lower house. There are several towns with from 10 to 20 times Unions population which are restricted to a single representative.
 The house does not carry out the theory of equal representation for the towns. The senate certainly does not carry out the theory of representation according to popula- tion. The 35th district, including all of Holland county, has one senator for its 29,000 people. The city of New Britain has one for it's 68,00O. The towns of Stamford and Green wich have one for their nearly 10O,- 900.
 If Hartford's basis of representa- tion were the same as prevails in the 35th district, the city would have not three senators but five, or even six.
 The Connecticut system actually is not what 1t is in the theory that MT. Swayne talks about. that is partly due to a constitutional bar rier, partly to failure of the legiS- lature to correct the situation as far as the senate is concerned. Redist- ricting after each decennial census is provided for. The duty has been neglected for 40 years. Of course in- equalities have developed in that period. So far as they can be they should be remedied not later than 1941. Then we shall have something more nearly approaching the situa- tion MT. Swayne defends as now existing.

Selected Poem
RAIN

RAIN Gsabelle Bryans Longfellow in the New York Times) Last night it raned in a quiet way; l thought of the sea and the scented spray The smell Of the leaves washed clean of dust Came in breath, came in a gust, And swept this dreaming into my head That smell of rain on the marigold bed. (These were the odors of long ago, Of now and forever; loved them so) The smell of cave in far-off town When the great storms came and we hastened down And sat by the fruit in its close-lipped jars While wind ran wailing beneath the stars. The air of the fog as it curtained low, In from the sea and soon to go, Yet never gone; the breath of the rain Flattened it's ghost against the pane. The rain fell ticking against the leaves And trickled tidily into the caves While out of night no eye could see, Fragrant old years came back to me.

A Book a Day
Here's A Pleasant Murder Mystery
By BRUCE CAPTION

For a truly pleasant and ingra- tiating mystery story, refer you to Nard Jones' newest book "The Case of the Hanging Lady" (Dodd, Mead: $O. MT. Jones scorns the frantic, straining-for- effect devices that so many mystery writers resort to and contents himself with tell ing a straight story about a mur- der-or several murders to be exact which puzzled people until the murderer was uncovered; the result is a tirst-rate yarn.
 The scene is west coast yacht club, where blond cutie is found hanging from the yard arm of a gentlemans private pacht. A tired business man-commodore under takes to get to the bottom of things, encounters two more murders en- route, skirts the edges of love af- fair with lady 30 years his junior, and comes to the surface triumph antly, at last, with the slayer (so to speak) in his teeth. All in all, it's a very good story.
 By contrast, there is "The Mys- tery of the Painted Nude," by Will liam Gore (Crime Club: $2). MT. Gore resorts to the elaborate trap pings which MT. Jones gets along without. That is, the corpus delicti is nude gentleman whose hair has been shaved and whose nose has been painted red, and who is found floating in the Thames (this is an English yarn) after being stabbed through the heart with a lead pen Gil. The fact that MT. Gore has a sense of humor and refuses to take his story too seriously is a saving feature; though somewhat cock eyed, the book is rather pleasing.
 Then there is Warrant for X," by Philip Macdonald (Crime Club: $2). You can always depend on MT. Macdonald for a workmanlike mystery, and he does not let you down ill this tale of an American playwright in London who acci- dentally blunders into a Kidnapping case, helps break up blackmailing ring and brings a murderer to book with the aid, of course, of MT. MacDonald's pet sleuth, Col. An thony Gethryn.

 Bankhead Brothers
 Henry M. Bankhead is the brother of Senator John Bank head and Speaker William Bank head, all of Alabama. He has a job in the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
 On September l, 1897, his pay was raised from $7,O0O to $7,50O a year. Exactly four weeks la ter he was promoted to a higher rating and his pay again boosted to $8,000.
 Political drag is sweet taffy- if you can get it.

 Missouri's Seantor Bennett Clark is credited with the best bass voice in the Senate. His fav- orite tune is the "Mocking Bird" which he readily renders upon re- quest =. Of the 4,082,894 tons of scrap iron exported last year by the United States, 1,895,141 tons went to Japan and 844,682 to England |. Senator Burt Wheel CTS caustic digs at the new crop control are being hotly resented by his colleagues on the agricul- ture committee. They point out that he never attended a single session of the committee while it was working on the legislation.
