You'll be sitting at a handsome

These purveyors of prosperity
have got hold Of one of LIES
great fundamental truths. They
didn't discover it. In the days
Of PericleS, this truth was old,
as any of his successful contem.
poraries could have told you.
Roughly speaking, the great idea
is that life is a boomerang and
the thoughts, words, and deeds
you put into it come sailing back
to you. You don't know why, but
it's so.
It's Up
To You
If you think failure, you get
back failure; if your thoughts,
deeds and words are mean, I'M
charitable and vicious, these
things are returned to you with
interest. AS the greatest Of
teachers said: Whatever q man
Soweth, that shall he also reap"
It's desperately hard to think
Of success when you see about
you so many signs Of distress.
But If you hold fast to the
thought of success, it will come
to you more quickly than If you
persist in holding to the thought
of failure. The world is full Of
shining illustrations of this.
Take the case of Mark Twain,
for instance. Our great phil
osopher and humorist lost his
entire fortune in a publishing
venture, at an age when to be-
gin all over was hard. Did he
hold everyone up with q tale Of
his misfortune? He did not; he
buckled down to work and wrote
more and more books.

It would be logical to think it

Emotion at
It's Peak
Love, of course, is emotion
both physical and mental at its
peak. 1t upsets nervous systems,
digestion and often creates
actual suffering. No wonder tenn
pers get short and tongues grow
sassy.
Another popularity Of love is
that it starts out to idealize the
loved one, then gets mad when
that loved one doesn't live up to
the ideal. The longer drawn-out
the love affair is, the more 1rrl-
tation.
A girl who signs herself
"Ginger" has come to me with
this problem. She tells OF
courtship of over a year. She
explains that at first she and
the young man got along fine,
now they scrap all the time. OF
course, she blames it on the
man. But I'll bet she doesn't
suffer in silence and I'll wager
she both provokes and starts the
battle time and again. She would
be Just as nervous and upset as
he. if she really was in love
with him.
Maybe both of their ideals
are slipping. At first they were
so absorbed with each others

rels. Then she came up for air
and discovered that her won
derful one" was quite human
and could buy the wrong kind
of ties. At the same time he
may have discovered her cooling
was off key or something
equally important.
FldWs
Not Serious
None OF the newly discovered
flaws in each other are serious
enough to cause them to say
good-by forever. But they sure
can disturb the surface of their
devotion to each other.
It is all quite. normal and
natural, and their love affair
goes along just about like the
average. But there is one thing
they better guard against and
that is not to let these minor
irritations build up until out OF
Self-respect one or the other re-
fuses to stand for them.
A good cure for the irritation
of love before marriage, is mar.
riage. 1t clears away the over
emotional quality of their feel
ing for each other. AS they quiet
down emotionally they are very
apt to find out the flaws were
not so bad and can be accepted
with understanding. In fact
they may even overlook them
and accept them.
Too Big
For QuarrelS
The deeper significance of
their feeling for each other is
then too big for petty quarrelS.
They may have quarrelS at
times but those quarrels clear
the atmosphere.
I don't approve of long drawn
out engagements for that very
reason. The sooner two people
marry after they have reached
the peak of their emotions for
each other, the better they will
be for it. Back of most of their
irritation is the sex drive which
permits just so much love max.
ing and then demands mating.

No Bread
And Butter

/. At strictly formal dinners,
which means dinners of cere-
mony served according to the
most formal of patterns, no but
ter is served and no bread and
butter plates are placed.
But at the informal dinners
which you give, it is entirely
correct to serve butter, if you
wish, and to have the bread and
butter plates at the individual
places. And with limited service,
these plates will be useful, too,
as a place on which the guests
will put such food accessories as
celery, radishes and so forth.
2. When setting your table for
your informal dinners, you may
use either white damask or a
cut-Work cloth. White damask
is always appropriate, for for
NAL or informal dinners, but
for an informal setting the
choice of table coverings is very
wide.

Rub the plank with salt and
put it underneath the gas flame

salt and pepper. Brush with
butter and cook under the flame
for IS minutes. Have ready a
quart of good hot mashed pota-
toes, and put them in a pastry
bag with a star tube. Press
them through, making mashed
potato roses around the entire
plank. Put back into the oven
until the potatoes are golden
brown. Garnish with parsley
and lemon and serve on the
plank, which will be empty very
soon.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have a moderate home and
one maid and sometimes en-
terrain eight to ten at dinner. I
do not do things deliberately,
but I do like to have my guests
nicely served and see that they
are happy and enjoying them
selves. There are a few points
regarding serving about which
I have been somewhat dubious
and I would like your help.

course dinner is it proper to use
bread and butter plates?

DOUBLE-MACHINE
 SETUP EXPLAINED

Blame for poor government was placed with the voters by E. Ro- bert Stevenson, speaking last night before the Married Couples Club of First Methodist church on the sub ject, "The Municipal Situation in Waterbury"
 He remarked that the grand jury proceedings come as no surprise, in- asmuch as the $8l 800 charter com- mission survey in 1929 indicated waste of city finances and the prob ability that court action could be instituted if the voters cared to act. The indifference of the voters is re- sponsible, he said, for whatever lax ities exist in services of public off, cials.
 MT. Stevenson recalled the regime of the late Republican State Chair man J. Henry Roraback as the in- stance 20 years ago when the voters were told of the existence of the so- called double machine political sys- tenn whereby Republicans took" the state. the Democrats, the cities. At that time, he said, the voters negleced to act on evidence of this dealing between political leaders.

The neighborhood was rocked late Tuesday afternoon by the explosion and the converted oil drum used as an incinerator was ripped to pieces It was thought yesterday that an extra fuse cap or two might have exploded, but an executive of the Patterson Explosive Company of Torrington told firemen that Tues days explosion was caused by dyna- mite. He said that perhaps a por- tion of a stick had blown Up.
 The incinerator stood adjacent to the offices and buildings of Thomas Moran and Sons, builders and con- tractors.
 Just a year ago today, an inclner- ator standing in the same spot ex- ploded, and lawsuit based on that blast is still pending. At that time authorities blamed the explosion on an accumulation of natural gas in the can filled with debris.
 The dynamite bomb was discovere ] by firemen yesterday in going through the contents of the inciner. ator. It contained four sticks of dynamite lashed together. Had 1t gone off, serious damage and possi- ble loss of life would have resulted.

Waterbury's program of public park recreation may be the basis for a statewide. perhaps national, su- pervised recreational project within short time, supported by millions of WPA dollars.

Waterbury is one of few cities in New England which has undertaken this form of public handling of recreation and it's success has been evidenced To- cally by the figured attendance at the II summer playgrounds of the city last summer, 1l5,000 persons.
 Meeting Tomorrow
 The plan of the group meeting to- morrow, the conference to have such speakers as Governor Wilbur L. Cross, Mayor John w. Murphy of New Haven, and many officials of New England parks and playgrounds Is to form a conference comprising both education and playground of- ncials. a permanent organization, to undertake supervision of informal play.
 The sentiment of the park off, ficials is that the schools have playgrounds and recreation pro- grams where the formal lines of training are followed. But the play grounds, they feel, should be the place where children may find spontaneous enjoyment of their hobbies" which is Informal reac- tion' and, as such, they believe that park department ard play ground officials should have voice in supervision.
 The idea of having federal funds for such a project is new and the Public Recreation officials are hop ing for Well-rounded program of recreation supervision, with numer- ous expertly trained employees to handle the plan.
 Waterbury's playground institute, which will start the last of June may serve as a mode, for the plan, 1t is reported, so far as this state is concerned.
