Domestic Thrift

National Thrift Week came and went almost unnoticed That might indicate that the nation isn't particularly inter- ested in thrift just now, or that it is already so thrifty that it doesn't need to dedicate any special period to the Sub- ject. The purpose of an annual Thrift Week, according to the president of the National Association of Mutual Savings Banks, is "to encourage better under standing of personal economics at all times" In that case, there ought to be 52 Thrift weeks year, and fo. some peo- pie there seem to be.
 A development of the times = possibly a result of past Thrift Weeks = is the spreading interest in personal and family budgeting. Banks that offer budget adviser for patrons find her job beconn- ing more and more important as experi- enced housewives, young brides, business women, and lot of other people come in for help with their personal economics" '" Newspapers that carry column of bud get advice are bombarded with letters about family budget problems.
 All of which doesn't mean that there are no more thriftless families and indi- viduals, but only that common sense in this matter is growing. Some folks are finding that they can get lot more value for their income, large or small, If they handle it according to an intelligent plan.

We All Pay

So-called soak the rich" taxes are that in theory only and not in practice. In the long run taxes, whether they are local, state or federal, demand proportion ate returns from every man ana woman in the United States. This opinion is gradually being subscribed to by more and more people who are interested in taxation and have given some thought and study to the problems it presents. Speaking only recently at a gathering in Hartford Dr. Fred R. Fairchild, eco- monies professor at Yale University, said that "all of us" bear the burden of taxes in the United States.
 He said that people shouldn't get the idea that the rich pay the burden of their taxes; they pay their proportionate share. He ascribed taxes to expensive government, which just about sizes up the entire situation. As a matter of fact we probably have too much government. But take away some of it and the result is usually howl from the public and a rapid movement to expand in some other direction than that in which curtailment has just been made.
 It is interesting to note, though, that Dr. Fairchild believes the future of tax problems may lie with the sales and con-
 
 all we can with the income tax. Of course that might not apply in this state, because as yet we haven't got a state income tax. We hope we never will have one, but we're not so sure but that one isn't inevitable. When you stop to ponder Dr. Fairchild's proclamation that 5he people of the United States by their annual total taxes are paying off bil- lion dollars in interest, then you may judge the magnitude of that great busi- ness of government.
 Next year there1l be another move afoot to raise a sales tax in Connecticut. It may get more support then, for who knows but what a year from now we may be in the midst of a fair-sized boom. And it would only require slight encourage ment to get enough votes to put across a sales tax in this state. The only way, naturally, to kill for all time thoughts of sales taxes is to keep consolidating our state government as we have set out to do in the last six months.

We Get a New Nickel

We've been looking at the so-called buffalo-head nickels for so many years now that it's almost hard to remember that there was another type before them. As matter of fact the buffalo-head nickel is of this century and is compara- lively modern. The liberty-head nickel was in existence far longer than the mere twenty-five years that have elapsed since the first of the new coins put in an appearance back in 1913. It was Feb ruary 21, 1913, that the buffalo nickels came in and well do we remember how they were admired and criticized
 According to federal law there can be a new Scent design only once in every 25 years. So on February 21 we'll have brand-new nickel bearing on the ob- verse the head of Thomas Jefferson; on the reverse his home, Monticello. The precise design hasn't yet been selected, but Mrs Nellie Tayloe Ross expects to have it ready very shortly. A contest IS under way to determine the best design with Mrs. Ross and three sculptors pick ing out the best one and awarding $1 ,0C0 to the winner.
 The change in design naturally tends to force the older coins out of circulation Many are placed in collections or held by individuals as heirlooms and lucky pieces; many are turned in at the mint and destroyed because of their worn-out appearance. Whenever new coin makes an appearance this always happens Just as the liberty head nickels are scare to- day and are gradually disappearing, so may we expect 25 years from now to find the buffalo head coins in the minority and the JefferSon-head five-cent pieces very common.

Seven Major Projects in State to Reach Bidding

be awarded for structures at Nor wlch, Undercliffe, Laurel Heights Cedarcrest. Construction is now un. der way at twelve projects. totallllg in the neighborhood of a million dollars, including sanatoria, state college, police barracks and prison buildings. Approximately S5,0OO,O00 worth of institutions thus would be at the construction stage within six months of the time at which the public works department was or ganized.
 Recent disclosures concerning road construction and maintenance and some building construction are such as to make the public expect some thing vastly different in connection with this $5,O00,00O outlay. Already there are signs that one asserted source of economy, or 0; making the tax dollar go farther. is proving as good as was claimed it would be. Engineers and architects fees at d rate of per cent would amount to approximately $300,0O0. The state department has $180000 for Coing such work itself and up to now the expenditure is reported to have run considerably behind the allocation.
 This is not the time to judge the quality of the work, but is the time to understand that the designing and the technical supervision must be flrst-rate. Pace is not the main need. There should be plenty of ma- terial in this portion of the institu- ticaal building program for a gauge as to the new systems worth and the grade of the administration.

The Silver Lining

Uncle Sam ought to be at least mildly interested in recent announcement from the chemical research laboratory of h. diana University. The Indiana Scien- tists have discovered an inexpensive way to plate silver directly on steel, and sug- gest as result that silver bearings for airplane engines will make higher speeds and more reliable performance possible. . The new process will also make possl- ble the plating of cans, vats, retorts, and cauldrons in industrial chemistry; brew CTS and food manufacturers, for instance, are expected to make considerable use .of it. Now this, as we said, ought to in- terest Uncle Sam. That gentleman has been buying silver, at a begged price, for many a weary month It ough to gratify him to learn, at last, that the darn stuff may yet be good for something.

Down in Stratford a movement to establish 25-mile speed limit within the town itself was recently defeated by the Safety Commission Coming so close on the heels of the establishment of such limit in New Haven this is interesting
 It will be the same all over the state. Where one community may agree that New Haven has the right idea, another will differ and raise the speed limit. Incl dentally test case has been brought in New Haven to establish the validity of the city ordinance. It is the claim of the plaintiff, through his attorney, that no town has the right to set up an arbitrary rate of speed and that state law prevents it. But most of the criticism against the law is that the 25-mile rate is too slow
 Perhaps it is the purpose oT the New Haven city fathers to get motorists accustomed to lower speeds Eventually the limit may be raised 5 miles for another period of time and then perhaps another miles later on However, the idea of curbing fast drivers is commendable no matter how much it may affect all of us.

Representative Alfred N. Phillips of Fairfield County is anxious to have another federal judgeship created in this state. So are lot of other interested persons. But the outlook isn't too good nor has it been in the past when other efforts were made, although the ante was raised from one to two not so many years ago. A bill was introduced by the congressman from the fourth district last summer, but to date it hasn't come out of committee. If there were new judge ship created in Connecticut, the office would be centered in Fairfield County, but naturally would not be limited to the county alone.

Finally Berle's friends had him look at the written notification of his broadcast and found that it was scheduled for the Colum- bia Broadcasting System, not NEG. They jumped in a taxi and arrived at Columbia just in time. Hague's Man
 Several days before coming to Washington to take his Senate seat, John Milton, henchman and personal lawyers of Mayor Frank t1-am-the-law) Hague, attended large luncheon meeting in New York city.
 The conversation at his table turned on Capital personages, and Milton asked the man sitting next to him: What kind of fel- / low is John Lewis? Is he really on the square, or is he out for himself?"
 Lewis is a very sincere and honest man." was the reply. "When he says something he means it."
 Well" boomed Milton, "per- sonaily, I'm a Hague man."

 For the first time since she left Congress, Ruth Bryan Owen Rohde made an appearance the other day among her former col leagues in the House. She was escorted down the aisle by Luther A. Johnson of Texas, who led off with applause for the lady, although the clerk was then read- ing the journal . . It was not generally known that before mak- ing the recent drastic tariff in- creases, Mexico tried to wangle a secret loan from the U. s. govern ment. They were told the Treas ury can make no loans without specific legislation by Congress. -.

Selected Poem


(By Josiah G. Holland in the Boston PosD Over the cradle the mother hung,
 Softly grooming slumber song; And these were the simple words she sung
 All the evening long: Cheek or chin or knuckle or knee Where shall the baby's dimple be? Where shall the angels finger rest When he comes down to the baby's nest? Where shall the angels touch remain When he awakens my babe again?" Still as she bent and sang so slow,
 A murmur into her music broke: And she paused to hear, for she could but know
 The babys angel spoke: Cheek or chin, or krluckle or knee, Where shall the baby's dimple be? Where shall the angels finger rest When he comes down to the baby'S nest? Where shall my fingers touch remain When I awaken your babe again?" Silent the mother sat- and dwet
 Long in the sweet delay of choice; And then by her babyS side she knelt,
 And sang with pleasant voice: Not on the limb, angel dear! For the charm with its youth will disappear; Not on the cheek shall the dimple be, For the harboring smile will fade and flee; But touch thou the chin with an impress deep, And my baby the angels seal shall keep"

A Book a Day
Risked Death with
 No Hope of Reward
By BRUCE CATION

There is already something re- mote and other -wordly about the polar explorers of pre-war days. Not only were the mere physical con- ditions of their ventures so different they used dog teams and went on foot, where today's explorers go in airplanes-but the men themselves look different.
 Perhaps it is because the quality of knightliness is at a discount now odays; because it seems stranger than it once did to see men volun- tarily risk cold, darkness. discom- fort and death when they can hope to reap no tangible reward.
 At any rate. an immensely in- teresting reminder of those old days is at hand now in the shape of biography-"Edward Wilson of the Antarctic" by George Seaver Out ton: $3). It is worth reading not only for its own sake but because 1t is a quiet reminder that the present fashion of suspecting worldly motive behind every gallant action is a base and ignoble sort of fashion which must soon die out. For the race does produce men who can be selfless, who can live life the hard way for no better reason than that they figure it is their duty: and this Edward Wilson was one of them.
 Wilson was an English doctor who went to the South Pole with Scott; one of the participants in what has aptly been called the worst jour- ney in the world" He shared in the incredibly difficult struggle, in the disappointment the party met when it reached the pole and found that Amundsen had got there month earlier-2rd in the death that all hands met on their effort to get back to their base.
 In this Account of his life, in the quotations from diaries and letters which make up large part of it, this quality of knightliness. men, tioned above, is unmistakable. Scott and his men had it. It took them to extreme discomfort and to the lone Hest of deaths-but they never once dreamed that the game was not worth the candle. And it is some how immensely heartening to read about them.

 CRITICISM


 Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 THE KING IS DEAD" How for getful is human nature! Bread cast upon the waters comes back"-How? :? Freighted with ingratitude, and to- tally barren of charity?
 A few short years ago there was a Depression. For four long years because of someone's unflagging pa- tience. undaunted energy and un- questionable integrity, we, citizens of good government, received our salaries in money and on time! Our poor were provided for and our un- employed were employed. We found a certain gentleman in his office from early morning until late. at night. His door was always open and he never was too tired or too busy to talk with anyone who asked him to do so. He never was known to make empty promises and some how or other even if he couldn't do what you asked, one always went away feeling better for having seen him.
 Upon his shoulders rested the worry and responsibility of finan- cially caring for thousands and thousands of citizens. NOTHING IS so SWIFT AS CALUMNY, NOTHING IS MORE EASILY UT TERED" May those same shoulders that so Loyalty bore the brunt of such heavy responsibility then, still be strong enough to carry the ran- corous jealousy, malign criticisms, and undeserving ingratitude in the same manner indicative of his char acter-a gentleman.

The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin continues to tread familiar ground in his Sunday afternoon radio talks. Last Sunday he spoke of the "unregulated dollar" and blamed the present slump on it. His talks are more like those which first attracted thousands of listeners. If he continues to wage war on our system of national finances and money control we can readily see speedy return to popular favor for the crusading priest.
