~. john CO8arLy. new YORK. Hey-
nal g. Hitchcock.
THIS beautiful book is an attempt,
in mood at once reverent and
light, to follow the movements Of the
great saint of Ireland over his native
land. The author. with great learning
at his command, has gone about over
the island to every spot where St. Pat
rick is recorded as having been, and
has examined all accounts Of the
saints wanderings, with the end in
view that he should re-create his coun-
try's patrons life. The result is no
plain history. but a discursive, argu-
mentative and poetic series of essays
and meditations on Patrick's life, a
labor of love, a beautifully written
book. It Is highly recommended.

The lady is stabbed at the head of

motives pour In. Unfortunately, the
motive for the crime transpires only

MILFORD WOMAN'S
 CLAIM IS DENIED
Caroline Fischer Sought $6,O00 for Care of Fora
 mer Waterburian

The s6,00o claim of Caroline Fischer of Milford against the Mill ford Trust Company, as administra- tor of the estate of the late Minnie Faulman, was today denied in a Superior Court decision handed down by Judge Edwin c. Dickenson. Mrs. Faulman was a former Water bury resident.
 The plaintiff alleged that she had tawen care of Mrs. Faulman from early 1884 until her death, Novem- Der 4, 1886. In appreciation, it was alleged that Mrs. Faulman promised to bequeath he~ estate to Mrs. Fischer. Such procedure was not followed, however, and the admin istrators failed to recognize the claim against the estate.
 In disrnissing the claim, Judge D ckenSon commented that there was no proof of express contract calling for bequest of the estate, and that it had been admitted that the plaintiff had expected no repayment for taking care of Mrs. Foulman.

 The action of the local post will be in harmony with other American Legion units throughout the state, with resolutions being forwarded to Connecticut'S representatives in congress.
 Explanation
 The Legion's policy was explained in the statement of State Com- mander James A. Weier, who is per- sorally directing the campaign in this state:
 'The Universal Service Legislation sponsored by The American Legion is intended primarily to promote peace by removing the profit mo- tive as a cause of war. It serves, however two other vital purposes. If war should came again, it would equalize the burden of war by bring ing into the service of the Nation, Capitol, Industry and Manpower, with special privilege and profit for none, and it would strengthen the National Defense by providing for Instantaneous mobilization of h. dustry on an orderly, efficient and economical basis of wartime serv- ice.
 Tt should be thoroughly under stood that the law sought by the American Legion will not become ef- fec.ive until war has been declared, or during a national emergency pre-

gress of the United States; and 1t ceding sucyh declaration, by the con- would cease to operate when peace had been restored. Thus, 1t would cause not the slightest interference with business or industry in time of peace.
 Equally important is the fact that though it would not cost a dime, experts have asserted it would be equivalent to standing army of a million men from the standpoint of national, defense.
 Speakers Available
 Incidentally the post has pledged it's cooperation to make Waterbury, s observance of National Defense Week" an outstanding success. Sev- eral speakers, representing the post, will be heard in radio broadcaSts and on invitation will address local organizations interested in the pro- motion of peace, through adequate preparedness, which is the Legion's idea of inSlring peace.
 Captain Peter CoStigan, chairman of the posts committee on national defense, is supervising the plans of the Waterbury Reserve Officers As- sociation program of national de- fense. It is an annual observance locally and Waterbury has won out standing recognition for its efforts along these lines. Captain Costigan, representing R. O. A. has appealed to the Legion to lend its support to the movement locally.

-Four separate answers were en-

ter are two corporations organized

All four denied Jackie's claims
to having earned $4,000000, and
asserted that $1,5O0,000 was the top
figure. All agreed that what money

O'Clock Thursday afternoon.
Whereupon the the Post-Press

and made a wild dash for the

madly shoot as the crowd collect

smashed vehicle. Rumors floated
around among the crowd about
several people being hurt.
But like a punctured balloon, the
scoop hunting photographer left
the scene after getting the story
Of the wreck from the manager OF
a service station at f and North

wrecker vehicle lay.
The car has been toWed from a

Babson Backs Up F.D.R.
In Exemption SIashes;
Discusses Tax Goals

ment DJnuS.
Under the three year rule of the
Securities EXC r aiHss-a- Cs.-q7,sr'srss the
stock market had become. very
thin. Prices often changed faster
in a day than they fluctuated in
week ten years before. Hence, the
market was unable to absorb these
big blocks of securities which the
holding companies wanted to get
rid of. Prices naturally began to
sink.
Then high margins brought on
selling from other sources. One
forced sale would uncover another
stop-loss order Within a month
what began as an orderly retreat
had turned into a rout. For the
first time in my experience, a stock
market crash brought on a bust
ness decline rather than a business
decline bringing on a stock market
crash!
Reforming by Taxes Bad Business
The drafters of last August's in
crease in personal holding company
taxes little dreamed that it would
touch off one of the sharpest re-
cessions in history. The experience
is q vivid illustration of the danger
of tampering with our economic
machinery. II shows the dynamite
i'm using the tax power as a reform
club. Business is like a watch. You
cannot take off one wheel to repair
it and expect the other wheels TO
keep good time. Our crazy-quilt
tax system is the biggest problem
We face today. Unemployment,
crops, labor strife, spending, and
all our other worries are Junior
TO it.
We are now WalloWing in a stupid
recession. Yet ours is the greatest
and richest nation in the world
Gigantic mineral and farm wealth,
unlimited factory and machine
equipment, and unprecedented
credit reservoirs are ours. What
has gone wrong? My answer is that
those who control the wealth and
industry of the nation have joined
labor and consumers in a strike!
These capitalists refuse to risk their

War fears in London, which until

of hysteria, have decreased notice

In the final analysis, however
peace for any period of time hangs
upon Britain and America acting
together. Most encouraging sign for
immediate peace is Britain's arma-
