Text: Psalms 84:4 IL. Blessed are
they that dwell in thy house: they
will be still praising thee. % Lord
of hosts, blessed in the man that
trusteth in thee. A bible citation
from the lesson-sermon: Psalms g.:
LAG. o Lord our Lord, how excel
lent is thy name in all the earth!
who hast set thy glory above the
heavens. What is man, that thou
art mindful Of him and the son of
man, that thou visitest him Thou
hast put all things under his feet.
A correlative passage from the
Christian Science Textbook, "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
Mani The compound idea Of ir-
finite Spirit; the spiritual image
and likeness of God; the full repre-
sentation of Mind The Scriptures
inform us that man is made in the
image and likeness of God. Matter
is not that likeness. The likeness
of Spirit cannot be so unlike Spirit.
Man is spiritual and perfect; aid
because he is spiritual and perfect,
he must be 50 understood in Chris
tian Science"

floor Immediately after the election
of the permanent officers of the

nell asked the committee to allow
the Sussex group to caucus.
Tells of Conference
Collision declared he had confer
red with Culbertson, Ha1sted Lay
ton. and William B. Truitt Wed
nesday night and Baker had said
he would resign if Collision did.
Baker denied this after the meet
ing. Declaring he realized the mo-
ton was lost if Senator Hughes
opposed it, the younger Tunnel in
sisted on vote for a showdown
Immediately on who controlled Sus-
sex County. During the discussion
ID. F. Thorington declared that
Tunnel says Republican money
was used in our campaign" Sen
ator Hughes opposed the motion,
saving there was no question on
how the Sussex delegation would
Vote and that he felt the whole
committee should have a say on
the question. Reconciliation of diff
.ferences in Sussex was of interest
to the whole state, he said. Gar
rett e. Lyons, Wilmington city
chairman, said Baker had been rec
ognized by the committee three
months ago, that the Sussex fight
was entirely one of personal spleen,
and that New Castle County should
not NEEDLE in the fight. John G.
Hazard Of Wilmington told the
committee to beware of what
Lyons says, there's no truth in
him He was greeted with jeers
and boos. Baker declared two
thirds Of his present committee
worked in 1886 to elect the present
state administration. This is an
attempt to railroad out the real
Democrats" he charged 81 know

only trouble we have is with Tun-
nell, Sr. If he resigns as national

committee to resign from"
Senator Hughes requested a vote
on his motion, but Houston Wilson
objected saying that rules permit
only 66 members on the committee
and acceptance of the temporary
roll would make 68 members. Mar
vel ruled Wilson's objections out of
order and called for a vote on Sen
ator Hughes motion. On motion
of Collision, the committee gave
rising vote fo thanks to Mrs. Wolfe
for her six years service as secre-
tary. Political observers said Col
lison's nomination for state chair
man was made with the under
standing that he would accept. His
election it was said, would have
solved the Sussex situation by al
lowing Baker to be Sussex County
chairman without opposition. IN

LORE OF
THE OLD WEST
Woman Rides Herd With
Cowboys and Becomes
an Expert
RUSTLERS STILL ACTIVE

Buffalo Gap, S. D.-When it comes
to cattle lore Of the Old West. identi-
flying brands, or even riding herd on
the critters. few men could COM
pete with Queena Stewart-just
plain Qucena to the cowboys Of the
West.
Queena rode herd with her father,
the late Frank Stewart, bringing in
cattle from Mexico and Texas by
the thousands to Craze the plains,
from the time she was nine.
They didn't tolerate useless
gals" around the outfits Of those
days, so she just naturally had to
learn brands. Today, she probably
is the foremost student of brand
nomenclature in the country, and
has listed the 10000 or more brands
Of the Dakotas in two volumes.
Besides being vice president of
the Association Of Secretaries of
State Cattle Organizations. secre-
tary of the Western South Dakota
Live Stock Growers association, she
is secretary of the South Dakota
Brand commission, where one Of her
duties consists in helping to wipe
out rustling.
RustIers Still Active.
There's plenty of rustling yet"
she said. THE days when a man
could round up a herd Of cattle
and hold them are gone-but with
trucks and good roads, a modern
cattle rustler can load his truck and
be 500 miles away before the owner
discovers his loss"
State inspectors have been able
to check much rustling through cop
les Of brands furnished them by
Miss Stewart.
Choosing brand is as delicate
an act as naming the new baby"
she says, and points out that al
though humane societies have pro-
tested branding, the animal, in real
ity, suffers little pain from it.
She pointed to one Of the cattle
on her 3,OU0-acre ranch.
MY own brand is XI. I picked
it because it's easy to run on That
only means it goes on easily, and
is easily seen and read
Brand Tricks Fail.
"Rustlers have a lot of tricks to
change brands, but none that would
fool an expert cowman," she said.
"Often they'll burn the second brand
through wet blanket to make the
new brand appear old"
She asserted that the returning
of the old brand causes it to heal
slowly, but in spite Of this, the only
conclusive evidence is the skin of
the dead animal, where the old
brand shows up distinctly.
Miss Stewart was one Of two girls
sent overseas during the World war
from South Dakota by the General
Federation of Women's Clubs.
81 did everything over there from
singing with a Apiece orchestra to
dancing with the men and making
doughnuts by the hundreds" she
said.
Her girlhood ambition, incidental
ly, was not to become a brand ex-
pert She had several years Of
training in voice in Baltimore and
Chicago. Now, wherever she goes,
she's called on to lead the COM
munity singing-and every range
nurtured raspy voice tunes in.

40 persons each. The largest of
the fleet, the schooner Gloucester
of Capt. Clarence Bunting, carried
the blue and white uniformed
members of the Lewes High School
Band which furnished music for
the voyage and at the dedication.
The 1000 acre harbor was dotted
with silboats of the Lewes Yacht
Club which conveyed the parade.
The pilot boats, Philadelphia and
Delaware, saluted the fleet in pass
ing and the Maritime Exchange
lighthouse was gay with code flags
strung-up in honor of the fotllla-
The parade moved slowly around
the harbor, passing between the
two stone breakwaters for a clos e
inspection of the lighthouses. The
annual baby parade Saturday af-
ternoon at 4 o'clock was the larg-
est and most ambitious ever held

celebration.

Serious, But How True?

Too many state papers have already convicted a number of Waterbury officials of every crime on the legal calendar as result of their connection with alleged misdemeanors here. After such devastat- ing charges as were contained in the report of the special grand jury we can well imagine that the case would continue to be painted just as black as possible. But the fact remains that while charges, based on the jury's findings, have been preferred, they have not been argued in court Mere technicalities have tran spired to date.
 Therefore, when the Bridgeport Tele- gram speaks of the Impeachment" of Mayor Frank Hayes, we're afraid it may libel him. In yesterdays issue the Tele- gram, discussed the status quo of the Democratic party in Connecticut. It con- cluded there was much turmoil within it's ranks right now. That may be true, although we might use another expres- sion to define it - midsummer madness, produced by the prolonged and extreme heat.
 At any rate here's what the Telegram said and it may find it embarrassing to stick by it's guns. What with the fight by Congressman Kopplemann against Senator Lonergan, the fight for second place on the state ticket owing to the impeachment of Mayor T. Frank
 Hayes of Waterbury, and the candidacy
 of several good Democrats for the posi- ton now held by Congressman A. M. Phillips Jr., of Stamford, the Democratic party presents an interesting and exciting picture of turmoil at the present moment. :.

Rain Coming

The long period of drought in this country seems definitely broken. A group of scientists studying the subject say the dry cycle apparently has spent itself and years of adequate rainfall may now be ex- pected. The change has come in the last twelve months. For the first half of this year the average for the country was 12 per cent above normal.
 This change follows an apparent turn in the sunspot cycle and is probably con- nected with it. Simultaneously there are fewer magnetic storms such as have dis turbed the natural magnetism of the earth and interfered with telephone tel egraph and radio communication during the last two or three years. Radio recep- tion should improve from now on.
 Although the scientists do not say much about it, there is probably reason to expect lessening, too, in brainstorms Human minds and emotions, the world over, have certainly been upset in recent years, and many observers have thought there was connection between them and the sun and weather disturbances People do seem to be calming down little lately, both in America and Europe. We even seem to be taking our politics little easier. We shall know more about that as the fall campaign proceeds.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-17
What Does It Prove?

The current discussion that Governor Wilbur L. Cross and States Attorney Will liam H. Blodgett are engaging in is, to this writer's way of thinking, good way of getting nowhere fast. Just why the Litchfield County prosecutor chooses to pick out certain aspects of our state gov- ernment and either allege or infer some things wrong is more than we can under stand He claims that he is not inter- ested in any candidacy on the Republican ticket this fall. In that event he must plan to take the stump for the Republl- can party. He should, first, remove him. self from his judicial position.
 There have been many charges and quasi-charges brought by Attorney Blod- gett, to most of which the governor has given rather light answers He evidently does not take the Blodgett attack too ser iously. Either that or he figures that since the former State Tax Commissioner is not candidate, there is no particular reason why he should give serious heed to his demands. We can't yet see that any points have been made by the Re publican upholder He claims that the governor turns aside his requests for per- tinent financial information. Surely MT. Blodgett could get his information first hand from Finance Commissioner Ed ward F. Hall, who is a Republican like the States Attorney, but who is closely in touch with the states financial status
 No one is trying to keep facts away from the public, Governor Cross least of all. Everyone is aware of the fact that the state is not paying -as-t-goes any more. It couldn't possibly have done that through the last six years, what with relief demands It couldn't even have done it, if the relief demands weren't made, for institutional demands had reached the saturation point. We've got to break down the Blodgett attack into two sections One is his political pur- pose; the other is his real purpose. We don't think both are the same and the public ought to know about it.

Puerto Rico Forgiven

Governments may be growing rougher in the Old World, but in this hemisphere they are growing gentler At least in spots Time was when such an outrage as the shooting up of public meeting in San Juan, P. R.. and the attempted assassination of Blanton Winship, the American governor, would have been met with drastic punishment and reprisal In this case nothing seems to happen except the arrest and trial of nine Nationalist conspirators, for the killing of a Puerto Rican officer.
 Governor Winship, with traditional American coolness, passed over the incl dent with wave of the hand and the disdainful comment that the conspira- tors were "bad shots" Now Secretary Ickes of the Interior Department at Wash ington instead of spanking the little brown brother, says there will be no relief or reconstruction reprisals
 This seems to many like soft and sen- timental procedure, but is probably bet ter. everything considered, than the Euro pean and Asiatic way. Nations nowadays need all their friends and little brothers.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-17

An echo from the past was contained in the recent address of Roger S. Bald win of Greenwich on Connecticut Mu- tual Borrowing. It brought back the not-so-long-distant drive to bring about uniform tax collection dates in Connec- ticut, the purpose being to eliminate the need of communities borrowing in antici- patton of taxes. This is an old and tried practice in Connecticut Many a town and city would have been hard pressed to get along in recent years had it not been able to secure a loan, the security being the taxes due four to six months later. Of course such loans run into money and over a long period of years such figure constitutes a mill or two of any tax rate. Therefore, if such bor- rowing could be eliminated, there would be an interest saving that annually might be substantial. There was hearty endorse ment pretty generally throughout Con- necticut when an effort was made to put through the reform, but when it came to applying the correction, few saw how it could be put into being at the moment And thus it ended.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-17

But Mr. Baldwin's address, now avail able in pamphlet form, claims that the pay-as-you-go plan is the proper one for municipalities in these trying days. He cites the fact that in such hard times as we have been enjoying there is distinct advantage of being able to drop all capital improvements rather than have resort to salary slashing MT. Baldwin's idea on elimination of borrowing in anticipation of taxes is to have the first tax-due date coincide with the beginning of the fiscal year. He also would do away with bond issues for city improvements, save where the amount would be so large as to throw the budget completely off balance. A third offering is to stagger major civic improvements.

 Shows Trend Is Very Noticeable.
NEW YORK SUN

larger, for virtually all the vacant positions now are in the high schools and vocational schools where, as rule, men outnumber women in the faculties.
 A rise of less than per cent in the proportion of men teachers in decade may not seem impress sive until the actual numbers are examined. In 1928 the total num- Der of men teachers in the New York public schools was 4,566; in 1897 it had risen to 6,064, a gain of just under 1,500. Between the same years the number of woman teachers rose from 27,005 to 28,584, or 1879. In other words, while women teachers outnumbered men six to one in 1928, the growth of the teaching staff since then has been about equally divided as be- tween men and women. This has been due only partly to the fact that an increasing proportion of appointments have gone to men Once in the service, men, with heavier responsibilities than women resign less frequently, and usually they postpone their retirements longer than women.
 There is little doubt that the rise in number of men teachers is a by- product of the depression years. A steady job with an assured salary and a guaranteed pension looks nightly attractive these days. Last March, for example, when applica- tions were received for the teacher in-training examination more men than women applied for the tests 2,903 to 1885, to be exact. It was the first time such a condition pre- vailed. Whatever the reason for the return of the man teacher, he Is on his way back. Whether he will improve the schools by saving them from the feminzation which critics of the American schools have deplored, remains to be seen Meanwhile, let 1t be acknowledged that in the years when man spurn- ed teaching as woman's work the schoolmarm did a creditable job.
