fewer pangs and act more like
human beings.
Jealousy, as you know, is a
form of fear. 1t comes from
self-distrust. You don't think
so we'll of yourself, all said and
done, so you imagine someone
else is going to score more
heavily with the beloved one.
Why not do a little self-boost-
ing? Initiate your own tires,
and kid yourself into believing
you're just as attractive as your
wife's family, or the former boy
friend she happened to meet on
the street. All said and done,
your wife left her family and
married you, and she selected
you in preference to the boy
friend. Why should you feel so
humble about friends and in
laws, and take it out on your
poor, suffering wife when you
get home?
STRANGE BEHAVIOR
Last week had a letter from
a woman who agreed to give a
party for her 16-year-old niece,
because she happened to have a
larger house than the girls
mother. She had never seen
any of these young people be-
fore they came to her house as
guests. Her husband, in a
jealous rage Che was man
around 40),. took to the kitchen
and kicked his wife after the
young guests had taken their
departure.
There was absolutely no rea-
son for this except that the 16
and 17-year-old boys who came
to the party had fresh complex
ions and had not begun to show
bald spots. The loving husband
couldn't bear a comparison with
these youths; so, after they went
home, he kicked his wife.
She wrote me asking if her
husband was only jealous, or if
he had suddenly gone insane. I
told her that to my way of think
ing the bald spot and the crows
feet gave him the .wellknoWn
inferiority complex. The kick.
ing resulted.
ANALYZE 1T
Why don't these people, who
poison their own lives and the
lives of everyone connected
with them, realize the source Of
jealousy-that it comes from
self-distrust and a feeling of in
feriority. They'd better do some
thing to boost their egoism,
even if it's nothing more radical
than going to a beauty parlor
(men go there, as well as women)
join a debating club, where an
audience is obliged to listen, or.
if they live in a rural district,
take refuge on the cracker-barrel
of the crossroads store and brag
about the size and weight of the
fish they've caught?
SURE-FIRE CURE
Anything to give the gentle
man a little confidence in him.
self.
Or, if the victim of the green
eyed monster happens to be a
woman, why doesn't she go to
the beauty parlor aforemen-
toned, get rid of the spare tire
around her waistline, learn to
play a better game of bridge, or
write a better club paper, or
make a better cake than the
woman who lives next door?
Anything that will pep you up
and make you think well of
yourself, is a Sure-fire cure of
jealousy.

Life Is Like That

Lille IS LIKE Ildl
Some evenings I don't hesitate,
I'm positive you'll come. wait
In gorgeous house-coat, dusty
pink. with silken skirts
a-swirl!
My curls brushed high and
charmingly.
I'm just as cute as I can be,
And that's the night you choose
to call on some darn other
girl!
But when think you're out of
town
And let my beauty-standards
down
And fling my old blue flannel
on, and never mind my
hair,
Curled up to read and yawn and
Snooze,
My feet half-thrust in scuffed
red shoes,
Why, then your finger on
my bell, your foot upon my
stair!

at the Methodist church in New Ha- ven.
 A large number were in attend ance and most interesting pro- gram was presented. The word, "Fidac" originated in 1920 when an organizat ation was formed by Allied Service men, for the purpose of eS- tablishing closer relationship and friendship between countries, with the desire to promote peace.
 Countries belonging to this order include, Great Britain, France, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Italy, Po- land, Rumania, Portugal, Greece and the United States. Each year one country is featured, to acquaint teh people with different phases of that country. This year, France is the featured country, and the Fidac program Saturday afternoon was entirely French. The principal speaker was Rev. E. R. Lacheman of Torrington. Miss Therese Devose gave a talk on French customs and exhibited many French articles, one of which was linen over one hun- dred years old. The junior auxiliary of the Haddam unit, then presented a pageant, which was very impress sive, the girls representing the va rious countrise, being dressed in colors typical of the corresponding flags.
 Mrs. Helen Gilbert of Norwalk, department president, gave a short talk.

 POST WITH TROOP
Junior Assistant Scout masters Duties Turned
 Over to Eagle Scout

Jack Brownstein was named junior assistant scoutmaster of troop 29 at its meeting recently at the He brew Institute. He is past scribe of the Beth Fl troop and last year was senior patrol leader.

 Captain William G. Russell of the fire department will be guest of the troops Thursday evening. His topic will be Fire Prevention.

In the near future Rudolph Hennick of the Republican-American will be the troops guest speaker.
 TWenty-six boys have re-regis- tered in the troop which was found- ed g years ago at the Hebrew Insti- ute. Five of this number are asso- ciate scouts, namely, Max Lebon, I1tIUtII EdSIeIlldCh, lOWdIO MdtA- kin, David Atkins and Morris Stern.

"Man of Mystery" Departs Controllers Private Auditor, Advisor, Leaves Brass City for Kentucky Derby - Merit Ap-
 pointees Take Spotlight Now.

Harry A. Mackenzie, Bradley Pryor Young Republican mainstay, of Fairfield county; Judge Alex ander w. Creedon, member of the law firm of Buckley, Creedon and Danaher, of Hartford. Attorney John A. Danaher, known as the best Republican orator in the state, brother of the present Re- publican mayor of Meriden and member of the firm, is reported due for a call next week by the Waterbury grand jury, per Alcorn.
 MT. Cohen
 A peculiar aspect of this Situa- ton is the position of George H. Cohen, lawyer for a Good Govern ment group now suing former Controller Daniel J. Leary for $600000 in a civil suit to recover an alleged deficit" of city funds. George Cohen was assistant with John Danaher to Major Buckley when the latter served as United States attorney at Hartford some years ago. Will MT. Cohen, lawyer suing MT. Leary, be called, as well? The question has been asked.
 Much of this centers around the presence in Waterbury of MT. Armstrong, now departed. Little of the present statewide investi- gation could have come from Controller Rowland, unaware of politics beyond delivery of pre- pared campaign speeches; a "Mer- it system" man in the matter of appointments to jobs in his office, by his own commitment some weeks ago.
 What will MT. Rowland do with out Mr. Armstrong? Can James P. Purcell, holdover accountant and recently appointed to the same" post, Democrat in the midst of merit system; can James Purcell take over in the system Mr. Armstrong has left?
 There are stories about the town today that he will be not long for the post; that the next three merit system" appoint ments of MT. Rowland will in clude the naming of an eminent Republican as chief accountant; the same Republican to whom Controller Rowland already has apologized for not giving him some business"

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
AS THE TWIG WAS BENT

The governments victory in the case against 1t
major oil companies and 80 leading oil men Is IN
all respects serious business. Sentences are yet
to be passed, but the corporations face fines of up
to $4,000 each, and the individuals may be plopped
into Jail for as much as year. Indeed, some Of
the wives of the defendant officers came weeping
to their sides in the best courtroom manner when
they heard the foreman of the federal jury nro-
nounce the awful word, guilty.
Well, they might weep, for this is criminal
not civil action that the government has won
And yet there's something contradictory about 1t;
something half-hearted in the governments belated
decision to prosecute For what these oil companies
did in violation of the antitrust acts was precisely
what they had been accust omed to doing with fed
eral sanction under NRA. Secretary Ickes admin
stered the oil code in slch way as to assure
minimum prices for producers in the field, which
inevitably called for price-hxing among the dis
tributors Their plea that Mr.. Ickes taught them
the trick may have standing in law, but actually
it lessons the degree of their iniquity, and lends
some credence to the defense that they were VIC
tins of the administrations inability to make up
its mind between busting or blessing trusts.-The

A BUcLE NOTE OF INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS

The management of United States Steel mani
festly does not fear that the end OF the world IS
imminent or that it's future is too uncertain to
justify preparations for larger business.
Announcement of intention to spend SS0O00,-
900 this year on plant Improvements is hearten-
ing and stabilizing note.
1t should go long way in the direction of es-
tablshing q greater spirit of confidence among
business leaders in general and to encourage other
private capitalistc groups to bring their resources
out from hiding and to put them into constructive
activity.
Other large interests, undoubtedly, find them
selves in pretty much the same condition of unde-
velopment in plant facilities affects United Steel
If their executives can now share and show the
same faith in their future and in the business and
industrial integrity of the nation is indicated
by the management of the giant steel industry,
much will be done at once toward unlocking the
channels of trade and commerce and sending the
country bounding along the way of new and
sounder type of prosperity.-Charlotte Observer

NECESSARILY EXTRAVAGANT

The federal courts may decide that government
owned power companies may sell electric current
in competition with private companies, but they
cannot confer upon them the power to compete
The fact remains that IVA cannot and will not
sell in competition with other companies without
subsidies of one kind another, most Of them
concealed. The public probably will never know
what it is paying for IVA power and the taxpay-
ers of South Carolina will have no means of know
ing that they are contributing to its support For
government is never able to compete with private
initiative, economy and diligence. Its highest in
centive is the opposite of economy; 1t must
strengthen itself; recruit its officeholdng armies;
hire men to perform certain duties but to neglect
them if they interfere with party duties. Post
master General James A. Farley is by no means the
first holder of that job whose greater duty IS to
direct party concerns-and the post office depart
ment has probably had billion dollars in deficits
in the last six or seven decades. Its methods would
have busted" the Rockefellers, the Morgans, the

bound to be political and partisan in management
and therefore costly to the taxpayers-Charleston
