A Thought for Today
High Praise For State

One of the cogent facts brought out at the opening of the Highway Safety coil- ference in New Haven this week was that through introduction of several alos tLooe- ands of lives had been saved. Had the same principles been applied throughouC the United States they would have resulCeo in a saving of more than 50, 900 lives on our hiohwavs. That's a statistic that comes rieht I'D and hits you in the eye, ThlnK of it. if the same laws and regulaCloilS which prevail right here in little Connectl- cut had been universally adopted oo,ooo people now in their graves might be walk ing around and following the pursuits to which they were accustomed year ago at this time. It only goes to show how necessary It IS for the establishment of universal loeas on highway safety in every State Ill tlt0 Union. It only goes to prove that Collliece tic1It must keep up her proud record or cutting down the number or nighWdy casualties. It only goes to establish the contention that progress made m tnls state in the nature of making rules ol operation more rigid is step III the rlgnV direction.
 We can be proud of the fact that thlS states demand that car be inspected twice a year and found mechanically per feet is contributing to decrease in high way deaths. We can be proud that the state ultimately plans to extend it's jurlls- diction over the motor vehicle operator Dy making him comply at all times to certain get standards of physical fitness. We can be glad that our traffic laws are being uni versally adopted in every town and city, for such uniformity makes for better under standing of motor vehicle operation and increases highway safety.

Catholic Youth Movement

The Catholic Youth Organization now being formed in this city is deserving of endorsement and support. Sponsored and encouraged by Most Rev. Maurice F. Nc Auliffe, bishop of the Catholic diocese of Hartford, and locally sponsored by the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women, the movement is one which is in line with Catholic progress and Catholic action. It should have happy results, and it goes without saying that all Waterbury which is ever alert to the need of proper regula- ton of youth activities will wish the or ganization success.
 Rev. Eugene F. Cryne, in explaining the organizing of this activity here, pointed out that the local group in functioning with the aid of parish units, plans to main tain unified program with four definite motives, spiritual, recreational, vocational and cultural. It is an age when these ac- tivities of the youth of today need regulat- ing and supervising and our city has not been lacking in providing means for their entertainment and their education. Added to the child's religious training in what ever church he is member are such &C., tivities as are thought will benefit him and guide him to enjoyment of sound and wholesome way of living. The Catholic Youth movement in this city should have the best of results. We wish it every Suc- cess

Government Broadcasting

There is talk lately of a new radio sta tion to be set up, owned and operated by the government. The purpose, it is ex- plained, is to give the government means of communicating freely With friendly countries, especially in this hem isphere, and combating the anti-Amerl- can propaganda of European autocracles in South America.
 The proposal seems to alarm some or our private broadcasting companies. Ihey fear that, if the government once starts broadcasting with it's own plant, 1t may compete unduly with the private stations. The latter feel that they have been gen. erous in lending their facilities to the gov ernment and it's representatives, and dont want to see the government getting it's foot in the radio door.
 Supporters of the proposal reply that the government can be depended on not to abuse it's priviledge and not to destroy any legitimate radio rights of prlVate enterprise. They also point out that radlo broadcasting, because of it's essentially public nature and because of the limited number of wave bandS has been treated from the beginning as a business properly subject to public control that 1t has always been recognized that private en- terprise in this field is permitted by sui ferance rather than absolute right; that the government doesn't have to ask any ones permission to broadcast, any more than foreign stations do. All of which is quite true; but it makes an interesting argument.

Spinach Preferred

The sulphur and molasses that some folks can still remember taking in their youth may or may not have been a help full spring tonic Mothers and doctors in those good old days seem to have had faith in the disagreeable connection, but their successors today are skeptical
 In fairness to the sulphur and molasses prescribers it must be noted that people then had to make bigger transition from winter habits, diet, clothing and ventilation than we do today They didn't have the year-round abundance of whole some fresh fruits and vegetables that we now have They didn't even have the quantities of excellent canned foods. They doubtless felt the need of something to correct the digestive results of the steady round of meat and potatoes and corn meal mush they had just experienced
 A grocery store display of twenty seven different items of fresh foods in the late winter is not uncommon in the present decade. Spinach deplorable as it seems to some people, has it's uses and is pleasant and healthful symbol even in midWinter. It suggests the varied diet made possible by modern transportation facilities, greenhouses, steam heat, and so on. As between spinach and birthstone and-treacle, who wouldn't choose the former?

Lo. the Poor

If history would stop seesawing So, maybe man could get his bearings. Palm Springs. the desert resort down in south ern California, turns out to be the prop ertv of an Indian tribe. Its hotels, cafes, mineral baths, and cocktail bars swarm with movie stars and society people, but back of every rustling thicket turks painted brave hand on till. First the white men had to be protected from the Indians, and then the Indians from the white men, and . here we go on our seesaw again. The lower numbers on the Palm Springs cash registers are reported to have been long covered with dust.
 Maybe these Indians remember the trifling payment another tribe got for the Number Cafe Town back of the Statue of Liberty Maybe they're planning on ex- banding around here and there and doing a little farsighted land bargaining them selves. A man ought to think about these things. Maybe we never should have bought New York in the first place. Maybe Palm Springs will prove too much compe- tion and we'll have to sell that other place in the east dirt cheap and get out from under. Or maybe it would be better just to wait for that seesaw. Palm Springs, 1t should be mentioned, has as many Indian advisers as it has Indians.

In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, April 6-Spring ram blings: Wonder if the men whc build those massive mazda signs on Broadway stir out of their easy chairs when a light buiD goes out in the living room? Or do their wives attend to it?
 That f1ickering movie sign above that Broadway cafe is still wishing folk Happy New Year Eve!
 A thought for nickel and dime bank savers: Abe Ellis, who owns hatcheck concessions at various cabarets where the average tip is a dime, has just bought the Man haitian Opera House for three quar- ters of a million dollar%out of his profits.
 No troupe of high-kickers ever have approached the perfection of the 36 Rockettes q: the Radio City Music Hall. They dance four shows a day, and they have yet to leave the stage without deluge of applause.
 To my mind, Gertrude Lawrence is the queen of high comedy, and no actress can flatter clothes as can Ina Claire.
 The most breathtaking view of this town I ever had was from the top floor of Radio City, looking northward on misty night with the string of lights etched against the fog as though suspended high in the air.

the Versailles Treaty. Eventually she busted the Allied inspectors. Whether she will permit Ameri- can inspectors on German soil remains to be seen.
 Just GObs Together
 William B. Shearer, self-styled "bass drum" loud talking lobby ist) for big navy, was giving a cocktail party the other day, and among many present were Rear Admiral Harley Christy, retired, and Fred Storm, tall, nt-spok- en White House reporter for the United Press.
 Storm, entering into the spirit of the occasion, was shouting various nautical orders.
 "Gangway for the cocktails" he called, pipe the waiter over the side"
 Admiral Christy listened for moment, then sidled over to the tall newspaperman and said:
 "I didn't know you were a Navy man, MT. StOrm.
 Sure I was," said Storm.
 "What class?" asked the Ad- miraI, who himself graduated from Annapolis in 1891.
 "Gunner's mate, second class" replied Storm.
 Mexican Brain Trust
 There is irony in the fact that the present constitution of Mex ico, which is the basis of the re- cent appropriation of U. S. oil properties, was inspired and large ly written by an American.
 Lincoln Steffens was the man. At the time of the rewriting of the Mexican constitution in 1917, Steffens was a one-man Brain Trust for the Mexican gov ernment, and changed the old version of Article 27 requiring ad- vance indemnification for seized private property, so that indem- nification might be made after seizure.
 Result: Mexico has paid in worthless bonds.
 U. s. oil companies are wishing today that the great Lincoln Stef- fcns had kept away from Mexico
 Merry-GO-Round
 Chile, late in asking for space at the New York Worlds Fair, was unable to secure any. Finally she induced Brazil and Belgium, whose reservations adjoined, to cede a slice of their lots Henry Wallace's press conferences are becoming few and far between Seven Latin American cof- fee producing countries, led by Brazil and Colombia, have made up purse of $500,000 for a na- tional advertising campaign to make the United States more cof- fee conscious. They will concen- trate on the West and Midwest.

Child Health Day, which will be ob- served the first of next month, will draw attention to the matter maintaining a high standard of health among children The local health officer called attention to the steady decrease in the mortality rate in infants and the avoidance of such diseases as diphtheria through inlmuniza- tion. The Child Health slogan for the year 1888 is to be Speed children on the road to health" It will be the aim of all com- munities to cooperate with their respective health departments in fighting against disease and avoidance of accidents. Spe- cial publicity as to this matter will be forthcoming through the press and the radio and it also suggested that sermons include this subject on the Sunday that is to be known as Child Health Day.

A Book a Day
The Vivid Story
 of Oklahoma
By BRUCE CATION

We Americans are fond of Say- ing that we are a young country, only a few decades removed from the frontier. But we do not always realize just how close to us the last frontier still is.
 Oklahoma, where the "old" west was preserved intact, or nearly SO, the longeSt-where the sod was last broken, where the Indians were last tanned, where the last great stretch of free land was made available to the homeSteaderS-is less than half a century away from its beginnings. Men still living, and not old men either, can remember back to the time when civilization had not yet arrived there.
 All of this, of course, means that an immensely dramatic story is contained in the history of Okla homa; and although this story has been told a good many times, c. B. Glasscock manages to make it sound new in his current book, Then Came Oil" (Bobbs-Merrill: $3).
 MT. Glasscock is primarily con- cerned, of course, with Oklahoma $ oil industry; but to tell that story properly he has to tell the whole states story, and to do that he has to go long way back into the past and discuss, among other things the whole business of Americas $ treatment of the Indians. So, what with one thing and another, he covers a great deal of ground be- fore he gets through-and the ground is worth covering.
 Oklahoma has had her full share of salty, colorful characters, both before the first oil we'll was drilled and afterward. and MT. GlasscocB misses few of them. And while you may wish it could have been writ ten by scmeone with a keener aware. ness of the deep social implications raised by the facts narrated ,thi! book does an excellent job within the limits which it's author marked out.

New Sugar Canes Hawaii Seeks to Improve Standard Types Species Found in New Guinea May
 Change Present-Day Crops.
NEW YORK SUN.

tained transportation on steamers, small motor boats, canoes and air planes: much country was traversed on foot. Police protection in regions inhabited by inhospitiaole tribes was furnished by agents of the American government.
 In New Guinea the search was successful. The collectors found wild cane growing in abundance. It four ished at attitudes from 5000 to 1000 feet and in fiat meadows and table lands. When the expedition returned in June it brought more than forty lots of seeds. From these 4000 sturdy seedlings have been grown in a greenhouse on the island of Molo- kai. If after six months of quaran- tine they develop no harmful char acteristics they will be transplanted for observation in outdoor quaran- tine gardens.
 The hard rind of the cane found in New Guinea enabled it to with stand attack by practically all plant and animal paraSides that ravage sugar crops grown commercially in other parts of the world. Most do- mestic canes have a higher sugar content but relatively soft rinds. By ross-breeding the two varieties 1t is hoped to produce a cane which will combine hard, resistant rind and high sugar content. Such cane may enable some of Hiwaii's higher and hitherto non-sugar producing areas to be cultivated.
 Achievement summaries read at the 57th annual convention of the Hawaiian association showed that the work of naturalists and tech- nicianS associated with the islands sugar industry had resulted in mo- table progress during 1937 Reports by this entomology and pathology departments indicated that no new cane disease had appeared. However. Dr. Harold L. Lyon. chief of the bio-chemical laboratory staff, warn ed against possible introduction of a cane disease from Fiji with inaugu- ration of plane service between Hawaii and Australia.

Ross, and Buggy Days
 My first trip from Brooklyn to Manhattan, like an excursion from the provinces, was made in horse and wagon. Delivering bundles of old papers to the junk shop.
 The most melodramatic stage scene I believe ever saw was the jail break scene in "The Last Mile" with Spencer Tracy emoting fierce ly against the rat-rat-atat of ma- chine gun fire.
 Haywood Broun, though cele- brated for his sartorial carelessness actually orders his clothes from a high-class tailor.
 It has been puzzle to many Of us who have frigidly listened to nu- merous alleged jokesters in our time that Julius Tannen, one of the fun niest, never went farther than he l did. -. Though he vehemently disclaims 1t, Alfred Lunt can't lose the notice able traces of a Scandinavian &C., cent. Once when I brought it up ! in an interview, he indignantly dis owned a foreign infection in his English.
 Friends who brood about being snubbed by Sylvia Sidney in theater | Hobbies and elsewhere are ignorant perhaps, of the fact that she's near sighted.
 With summer coming, begin tc recall with dread that I'm in the dog house with at least half dozen weekend hosts because of a last ing aversion to badminton. A film man tells me that Hollywood doesn't care for the word movie" In fact a national campaign once was
 launched to expel 1t from the gen.

For some years the Hawaiian Sugar Planters association has con- ducted experiments with canes in an effort to improve the standard type. In January, 1887. the association sent G. G. Lenox and c. E. Pember- ton to New Guinea and neighboring islands to collect as many forms of " id cane as possible. Their search continued for six months in coastal. river and mountain areas of New Britain, New Ireland. New Hanover and New Guinea. The party ob-
