Each of us has ideals. We admire
and respect certain traits and quail
tiles in others because they in some
measure coincide with our ideals. We
are prone to speak of virtue, but
what about our conduct Does it
Ring True?" Mounting will never
get anyone very far. A bell that has
teen cracked may, from the outside,
look alright, but its flaw will he
come apparent when hit by the clap
per. Ones daily conduct is the clap
per which tests ones conduct. If there
are flaws in our lives, they will become
known to others no matter how hard
we try to cover them up. If our daily
conduct rings true" and is in har-
mony with cur ideals, others will,
know it, and believe it or not, they
will know of any flaws that exist in
us. Let us be sure to have an ideal
and then sink every ounce of energy
we have into the attainment of it
No greater ideal can a man have than
Christ and no greater happiness comes
to you or to me than when we nourish
and strive toward that ideal.

FIND NEW WRINKLE
FOR FOREST FIRES
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hnfel

Raleigh, May 17.-Forest fire war
dens of North Carolina are cracking
down more vigorously than ever since
they recently discovered an entirely
new wrinkle in reasons for setting fire
to woodlands.
The new Stunt-Setting a fire in or
der to make it easier to find pieces
OF Junk-lsn't the prime motive for
the drive against offenders but it ad-
ded vigor to the campaign when dis
covered RI,
Wardens in Bladen and Columbus
recently discovered that a series Of
fires around abandoned saw mills had
been set by dealer in scrap iron in
order to make it easier for him to
! find pieces of old iron, pipe, etc. us
ually left around such places, accord
ing to w. K, Beichler, in the forest
fire prevention division of the Depart
ment OF Conservation and Develop
ment.
Efficient work by the State war
dens not only kept the fires to a
small area, but also resulted in arrest
and conviction of the offender, who
was tried in the courts of both coun-
ties and is now serving a four months
road sentence.
Assistant State Forester w. c. Nc
Cormick, in charge of the prevention
division, reports that from March 1
through April Il, forest fire wardens
made 131 arrests. In addition $1195.27
was collected in fines, cost and fire
suppression costs. One fine of $12O
was imposed upon the operator of
moonshine whisky still whose fire got
away from him and caused a forest
fire
Although the spring fire season con
tinued through April, the situation
was not as bad as in March, with
result that there were only about TOO
fires in April against some 1912 the
previous month
General rains in early April and the
"leafing up" of the woods helped the
situation remarkably, although by the
end of April near-drought conditions
again made for multiplicity of for
est fires.

count Halifax walked across the street to No. 10 from the foreign office just before the meeting started. With him was Sir Neville Henderson, ambassador to Berlin. Meeting of Ministers The meeting was complete. Tech nically, it was meeting of min- isters" rather than formal cabinet meeting, because it was the vaca- tion season. But every member of the cabinet was present except Wis., count Hailsham, lord president of the council, and Lord Stanley, dominions secretary. They were abroad.
 The cabinet was convened at Il o'clock to study the message to the German government. Policy of Cabinet It was said in an authoritative quarter that the cabinets policy was:
 1-Absolute fidelity to the French British entente, which makes it imperative for Britain to support France if she is involved in war. British military strategy is based solidly on freedom of the channel ports of France and com pletely independent France. Hence Britain cannot allow France to be isolated in any European conflict arising from a German act of ag- gression.
 2To maintain the European bal ance fearing a further extension o1 the power of totalitarian nations through Frances inability to main- tain her system of continental al- dances. Frances alliance system would crumble if she failed to sup port Czechoslovakia.
 The attitude of the cabinet seemed to be, as it studied the mes- sage to Germany, that if Britain had been accused of failing to warn Germany in advance in 1914, this mistake would not be repeated.
 The cabinet session ended at 1 40 D. m. but conversations continued between Chamberlain and Lord Halifax.
 Official Statement
 After the cabinet meeting an of- ficial statement was issued which said:
 "The ministers expressed entire agreement with the action already taken and the policy to be pursued in the future"
 The ministers, it said, will remain within reach of London. The com munique gave a list of ministers present and said:
 "The British ambassador to Ber- lin, Sir Neville Henderson, also was in attendance. The foreign secre- tary made full report on the in- ternational situation and at the conclusion of the meeting the min- isters expressed their entire agree ment with the action already taken and the policy to be pursued in the future. No further meeting has been arranged but the ministers will remain within reach of Lon- don."

 Democratic ticket, will be the factor to decide how the delegates vote at convention time.
 Most Unpledged
 The larger delegations to the state convention, September 1914, at Eastern Point, will go unpledged, but most of these are reported to favor Lonergan and the industrial cities, if Danbury is to be taken as criterion, may favor Tone. Of the 1 HOO delegates to the convention, 106 are pledged to Lonergan, 5 to Representative Herman P. Kopple- mann, none for Archibald McNeil, and 20 to any New Deal candidate Tn the senatorial nomination con- test.
 Even while delegates were being selected, rumors spread third can- didate soon would make his stand known in the race for lieutenant governor
 Murphy Withdrews
 The withdrawal ow Mayor John w. Murphy, New Haven, left certain party leaders in quandary and re- ports were boom for candidate other than Tone or Hewes soon would start. The candidate, 1t was said in some quarters, may be State Insurance Commissioner John C.. Blackall.
 At New London, Secretary of State and Town Chairman c. John Satti ran into terrific battle with oppo- sitoin forces headed by Senator William c. Fox and Congressman William J. Fitzgerald. AS result, no action was taken on election of dele gates to the state convention.
 Satti demanded an instructed delegation, while the Fox-Fitzgerald group desired an uninstructed group.
 U. s. Attorney Genreal Homer S.. Cummings will head the Greenwich uninstructed delegation.
 Keynoter U. s. Senator Francis T.. Maloney was named to lead the Meriden delegation.
 In the only Connecticut test of the New Deal issue Rep. Herman p. Kopplemann was defeated in New Britain's direct primary by 400- vote margin.
 Fighting the city organization, which desired an instructed delega- tion, but which Kopple n n charged would be for Lonergan, the congressman received 1909 votes, as against 2,338 for the machine slate of delegates.
 Waterbury Backs Lonergan
 Lonergan's instructed delegates came from the following communi- ties: Waterbury, Danbury, Bristol, Stonington, Southington, Glaston- bury, Granby, Norfolk Windsor Locks, Hampton, North Branford.
 Kopplemann: Suffield.
 For any New Dealer: Enfield, Plymouth, New Milford, Bethlehem. Tone: Stonington, Danbury, Ridgefield.

demonstrates that there are areas where MT. Roosevelt's party influ- ence is not always controlling. The administration got off to a good start in Florida May when Sen ator Claude Pepper, loyal Roose- veltian, was renominated over anti New Deal opposition. Senator Lis ter Hill, Democrat, Alabama, New Deal victor in 1888 unexpired- term contest, also was renominated that day for a regular term.
 But on June 6. Senator Guy M Gillette, Democrat, Iowa, was re- nominated over a New Deal oppo- nent whose support came from SC close to the executive offices in Washington that it scarcely could have been rendered without MT Roosevelt's knowledge and approval Then Senator Frederick Van Nuys Democrat, Indiana, whose political extinction had been undertaken by the Indiana state machine, was un- expectedly renominated by the state convention. Van Nuys was g leader of the opposition to MT Roosevelt's judiciary reorganiza- ton bill.
 Senator Bennett Clark, Democrat Missouri, another independent who did not like judiciary reorganiza- tion, was renominated almost by de- fault, principally because he was so well entrenched that any move against him was foredoomed. A couple of New Deal Congressmen went under in texts primaries and an anti-New Deal Virginian was overwhelmingly renominated deS- bite New Deal Brain Trust aid to his challenger.
 Unexpected and unwelcome, but not materially hurtful to the admin istration, was defeat of Senator James P. Pope, faithful New Dealer, by Representative D. Worth Clark, Democrat, Idaho. Clark is classed as an independent Demo- crat.
 Except in Kentucky where stakes were large, these scattered returns did not geratly clarify the political situation within the New Deal Democratic party. The four vital primaries coming up now in South Carolina, Maryland, Georgia and New York could further illuminate the facts either by recording a ma jority of administration victories or a majority of defeats. It is likely however, that these contests may divide the honors and leave until 1940 further determination of the principal question at issue which 4 how completely MT. Roosevelt may expect to controy the DemocartiC National Convention which which will nominate a presidential ticket

Two big hits which in all respects are rated high in audience appeal, comprise the outstanding bill open ing a three day engagement at the Warner .Bros. State theater this afternoon.
 The first of these hits is Give Me A Sailor" 8 grand, wholesome comedy and another of the pictures included in the National Movie Quiz contest. Those who would like par ticipate in this event may do so by attending the State and receiv- ing Movie Quiz booklet which contains all the questions and clues.
 No lover of screen comedy should miss this new autical frolic which stars Martha Rave, Bob Hope, Betty Grable and Jack Whiting.
 Martha has role which should mark turning-point in her tenn pestuous screen career. For the first time she is cast as a glamour girl revealing one of the shapliest pairs of legs in Hollywood, and for the first in this picture. But that doesn't mean that she departs en- tirely from her usual comedy roles. It is true that she is toned down departing from her usual slap-stick type. There's plenty of comedy in the film with Bob Hope being cast opposite her and Betty Grable and Jack Whiting doing their share to keep it constantly moving.
 The film tells the story of two sailors who pursue the same girl but change their minds when the girls Cinderella sister turns out to be the winner of national beauty contest
 Four new songs are included in the picture. They are: What Goes On Here?," "A Little Kiss At Twi- light" "It Don't Make Sense" and "The U. s. A and You" As the second big big hit of the program the management presents "The Romance of the Limberlost starring Jean Parker with Eric Lin- den and Marjorie Main.

 Paul Marchandeau, finance min- ister, told the cabinet that the franc situation had improved in the last week.
 Thirty-five miles, at the nearest point, from the junction of the French Swiss German frontier, the troops simulated an attack by a foreign amy, which had marched through Switzerland to strike at the rich industrial region of East France.
 At dawn, the blue army, deployed in the Valdahon region, moved northWestward in the plateau coun- try on Bcsancon.
 Awaiting them was a red army made up in part of the famous Blue Devils, the Alpine Chasseurs of WOrld war lame.
 Reserves Burn Up Roads
 And burning up the roads, from Paris rushed reserves in 100 motor busses, testing emergency transport for the next war in nostalgia mem- ory of the rattling Paris taxicabs with which, in 1914, General Joseph Simon Gallieni sent his reserves to save Paris at the first battle of the Marne.
 The entire games were test of the defenses of the frontier region against an invasion through Swift zerland by a German army.
 It probably escaped many people that, as the blue and red armies fought" on the Besancon plateau, Le Creusot, richest iron works re- zion in France, home of the great Schneider company which is to France what Krupp is to Germany and DuPont to the United States, lay but 30 miles behind the defend- ing reds"
 Only 10000 Troops
 There were only 10000 trops in all in the maneuvers, it was asserted officially, and more than 100000 German troops are maneuvering across the Rhine.
 Specifically, the cabinet met today to approve changes in the 40-hour work week law in line with Premier Edouard Daladier's plan to insure adequate working time in all war in- dustries and in other essential pro- duction.

Wife OF Witness For
 Dewey Was Arrested

remembered him after three years because of his physique Hines was blacksmith in the brawling era of ward politics.
 other Witnesses
 The other witnesses included John Pucher, waiter at Bridgeports Stratfield Hotel, who said he saw Hines, Schultz, Rosenkranz and others dine together; Charles Wall former bellboy at the Barnum HoteI who said he once saw Hines go in an elevator to the floor in which Schultz had his suite, and ask the way to it. Charles w. Hughes former assistant manager of the Barnum, who said he saw Hines Schultz and other gangsters to- gether in the lobby and in the coffee shop several times.
 Stryker's defense against this testimony was doubly difficult. They were the first witnesses Dewey had called whose character was above suspicion, who were neither mem- bers of the gang nor lottery work CTS whom Schultz had organized by force and terror. In the second place, they were unable to recall the exact dates on which they had seen Schultz and Hines together, thus ruining any chance of providing an alibi.
 Uncertain of Hines.
 Several of the witnesses admitted on eros examination that they had been uncertain as to their ability to identify Hines after three years, and that Dewey's agents had either shown them pictures or brought them to court several days ago to see if they could point out Hines. All said that they had been certain of the identify the moment they say Hines or his picture, and denied that DeWey's men had given them cues.
 Twice yesterday Stryker hinted that he might be planning to pro- duce a double" for Hines to con- fuse the witnesses. He asked if the witnesses knew a MT. Carney. Larry Carney, former Schultz body guard, has frequently been called a ringer for Hines.
 Witness Wall said he knew Car ney, and described him as about five feet seven inches tall; thin and partly gray. Police descriptions of Carney, however, show him to be 51 years old five feet nine inches tall; weight, 190 pounds; light gray, almost white hair. Hines by com- parison, is 61; five nine inches tall; weighs 190 and has Wite hair.
