A Thought for Today
Logical Selection

There should be no complaint with the selection of Senator Francis T. Maloney of Meriden as keynoter for the Demo- cratic state convention to be held at East ern Point in mid-September. He IS the logical choice The committee on ar rangements could scarcely pick a more suitable keynoter without going outside the state. And in view of the fact that Connecticut boasts two Democratic sen- ators, one of them seeking renomlnatlon and reelection this year, it would nave been pronounced slight to have ignored Senator Maloney's availability for the post of temporary chairman Of the con- vention, entailing as this does the key note address.
 The party can rely on the Meriden legislator to give as good talk as could be wanted to arouse the party to lighting pitch. fine speaker and possessed ot a most comprehensive grasp of the partys place in the political world, Senator Maloney should exert on the delegates that necessary influence which arouses them to the enthusiasm required for successful fall campaign. By that we don't mean he will produce hySterlcal reaction among his listeners. Far from 1t, for Senator MdlOney aPPedlS lloI Io tlie emotions, but to the intellect.
 Any criticism that has been leveled at hin as keynoter has been based on the theory that he is pro-Lonergan, who will be a candidate for renomination at the convention. We'll, it's hard to conceive of Senator Maloney being anything else but friendly and favorably-disposed towards his fellow colleague in the senate. But that he will use his keynote address to demand the reelection of Senator Loner- gan and him alone is out of the question. He will have a task at hand that will not permit lengthy dwelling on individual candidates. His will be the task to show the way for the Democratic ticket, re- gardless of makeup. He can be relied upon to do this eXpeditiously.

meet, William $. Hart was eternally brave and dashing; people argued over whether Alice Joyce was more beautiful than Clara Kimball Young; we laughed at Marie Dressler In 'Tillie Punctured Romance; good old Jim Corbett was lean and agile actor, defeating williams with delft jabs and right crosses, most of the time attired in evening clothes. Brave days, those!
 But for thrills the greatest of th,m all was Pearl White. There was woman! It was tough going that waiting for the next install ment of those stirring serials, "The Pcrils of Pauline" and "The Ex- ploits of Elaine" Though in our hearts we knew better, it seemed each time that the forces of evil surely would finally encompass this brave girl. She defeated plots. She was rescued from impossible situa- tions. She took enormous physical risks, and sometimes was injured She kept nation on the edge of its chairs. Those were the days before the -pictur people had stand-ins Pearl White didn't need a stand-in. A bareback rider at the age Of thirteen, she was at home on either a horse or a runaway rail- road train. In those distant days we never heard of Pearl White plucking her eyebrows; her reading habits were a matter of little oh no concern, and she never gave out her favorite diet for keeping thin. She made her money, took on weight, went to live abroad and, from all accounts drifting back, had a whale of good time. None of her old ad- mirers ever begrudged her any fun.

So enthused is the Postoffice Depart ment over it's increasing business in stamp sales that next month specially designed truck will start tour of the nation to make those people who aren't stamp-conscious aware of what the de- partment is doing. A million-dollar stamp display will be placed in the truck and we presume that this means it'll have to travel under special guard. The display is particularly intended for school chil- dren and will tour school districts in var lous communities right after classes are dismissed AS each town is visited the postoffices there will offer a complete as- sortment of stamps like those seen in the truck. There will also be rotary press in the truck turning out souvenir de- sign on covers. It is also planned to have an expert from the federal department in Washington accompany the truck to explain how stamps are designed and printed.

 Came the Dawn
 Senator Burt Wheeler seems to have taken a cue from the re- cent Montana primary, in which his candidate was badly licked by Rep. Jerry O'Connell.
 Last summer, following the bit- ter Supreme Court battle, in which he led the anti-White House forces, Wheeler stumped his state belaboring the President. accusing him in one speech of mysteriously juggling the $2.000,- 100000 stabilization fund, and in- ferring a hidden scandal in the handling of money.
 But since O'Connelrs triumph Wheeler has been singing diff ferent tune. Differing squarely with his ti-Administration asso- ciates, he recently defended the right of the President to inter- vene in local elections. The other day he warmly lauded Roosevelt's railroad strategy and recovery measures, and predicted full re- covery by fall. Group Health
 Ever since the recent National Health Conference split on the rock of -in-health. a little ditty has been going around Washington which plays on the names of two physicians promin- ent in that battle.
 One is liberal Dr. Hugh Cabot of the Mayo Clinic, who favors group health; the other is con- ServatiVe Dr. Morris Fishbein of the American Medical Association Journal, who opposes.
 The ditty is sequel to the familiar quatrain about Boston's Cabots who speak only to Low els, and the LowelIs speak only to God" The medical version goes like this:
 "The Cabots now speak to the
 people,
 And Fishbcin speaks only to
 God"
 Merry-Go-Round
 Henchmen of Senator Burt Wheeler are quietly spreading the word in Montana that they are planning to back Dr. John Thorkleson, Republican candidate, against Rep. Jerry O'Connell, winner in the Democratic pri- mary A. A. Grorud, Wheeler appointed clerk of the Senate h. / dian Affairs committee, has told friends, Don't worry because o. Connell got renominated. We can still lick him in November with Thorkleson." Mean while the White House has talk en a hefty sock at Wheeler, by naming Miles Romney to the year old vacancy of Montana di- rector of the National Emergency Council. A young crusading news paperman, Romney is one of Wheeler's bitterest foes.

A Book a Day
Economist Wants New YOrk-Wee
By BRUCE CATION

One of the most stimulating oi the innumerable recent books on economic problems IS Nicholas H Selseth's Basic Economies" Dor- rance: $25O. Whether 1t is also one of the soundest may be another question; but it at least does pre- sent a new angle of approach.
 We are weltering in depression says MT. Selseth, not because our system of money distribution has broken down, nor because of failure of our system of distributing goods The real trouble. he says, is a failure in our system of distributing labor
 The length of the working week in industry is, he believes, basic to our entire economic structure There is a certain amount of work to be done, and there is a certain amount of labor to do 1t; fit the two together properly and you have the answer.
 ITO conquer business cycles" he says, labor, or more exactly labor time, must be so assigned among the available supply of man power that every worker is allocated his due share of the service time needed to ke CD the wheels of social &C., tivity moving"
 He concludes that working week of around 35 hours is about the maximum that we can have without bringing economic dis trder. You may disagree with his arguments and with his conclu- sion; you will at least find 8 re- freshing new angle of approach. and an earnest, studious discussion of it's possibilities.

Rain and then some more rain For steady and heavy downpours the summer of 1888 will certainly establish some sort of record for good many years to come. We've seen heavy showers and prolonged rainfall, but nothing we recall compares with what we've had this year Who knows, too, what is to come? What we may get in the remainder of August or during September may outdo even the recent miniature cloudburtsts. Dirt streets have taken a terrific amount of pounding from the waters.

THREE LITTLE JOYS

Mary c. Wheeler Elmhurst, Granby, Conn.
 in the Catholic Transcript They're out of their cradles, And sleeping in beds; Each night I review them, My three sleepy heads They're out of their high-chairs With big chairs inhead, And each little lad Can butter his bread. Some days they amaze me And strange as 1t seems, I'm learning the meaning Of little boys schemes. They shout and they holler, Like regular boys . But oh, how I love them My three little joySl

 A note from Jimmy Durante, re- gretting that our paths didn't cross while he played the Casa Manana in New York. The melancholy, in fact, is all ours. Because on and off the stage, the super-nosed Durante Is one of the jolliest table-mates we know.
 A card from Hildegarde, the Mill waukee chanteuse who happens to be one of Europes favorite song stresses. She writes from Volendam, Holland, where she paused for a radio concert. and her message is a jubilant Having Wonderful Time" for which copyrights, we suspect, have been exhausted.
 And here's six-page missive in fantastic scraWl from Sir Joseph Ginzberg, exalted stooge to the com ic Willie Howard and about whom we wrote good-naturedly some time ago. Sir Joseph writes with some rancor, for he argues that we did not do him justice. In the first place, 1t seems that we did not mention all his official titles which were con- ferred upon him, he says, by King Lloyd George of England and he wants us to square ourselves jour- nalistically.

Postmarked Manila, this is what our personal correspondent says of his port stop in the Philip pines: Manila, by all means, is tho gateway and gayway of the Orient. Narrow, crooked streets filled with happy small, brown-skinned peo- pie, and the ever present sights, sounds and smells of the east. I've found gaiety is natural here. No forced laughter. No high strung ten sion. Everything seems at ease and all the natives I've met appear hap py and ready for good time.

OLD FAMILY DOCTORS
(Boston Post)

(Boston PosD
 To the little Town Hall of Har- yard this week came a great throng to pay homage to a modest 79-year- old man. Most of the crowd knew the guest of the evening all their lives. A large number of them, in- deed, had been ushered into the world by him. The man was pr. Herbert B. Royal. For a half cen- tury after his graduation he has been family doctor.
 We may be passing the day of the country doctor, for this is a specialized age. That gathering at Harvard, however, and thousands in little towns and big towns through out New England, know and recog- nize the great contribution pr. Royal and hundreds of family doc tors have made to their communi- ties.
