Cambridge will have only one team
in the field this year as all of last
years squads have combined and are
playing under the name of the Phil
lips Packing company.
AS their first game, though the
plan has not been definitely settled,
the "Speedboys" will probably meet
the Cambridge basketeers in return
fracas on December Is.
Officials are now working on an at
tractive schedule, detail of which will
be announced at later date. With
the expectations of having the hottest
team in the league, the "Speedboys''
are planning on taking every thing
in sight when the season opens.

Teaches Members How To Stop
Coughing In His Church

The Reverend George w. Lelious,
well-known Columbus, Ohio, minister,
has found the solution to the disturb
ance caused by coughing congrega-
ton. Knowing the danger of spread
ing deadly disease germs by an inno-
cent cough, he was prompted to get up
in his pulpit and make the following
statement:
"Attendance in church is very neces-
sary to the well-being of the human
race, but there is certainly no use of
a person coming to church on Sunday
morning suffering with a cough due
to a cold and disturbing the entire
congregation, when it is such a sim

by purchasing an inexpensive bottle
of Mentho- Mulsion. 1, too, suffered
with what I thought was a serious
cold. 1 suffered with coughing spells
at night and nothing seemed to help
me until tried Mentho- -Mulsion."
Perhaps the church was no place to
discuss the merits of medicine, but
if you are suffering with cough due
to cold or exposure, get yourself a
bottle of Mentho-Mulsion today and
if the first dose or two does not alb

Mulsion is the finest and best cough

bottle back to the drug store and get

Can't Understand It

It is hard for the critics of the Hayes administration to understand that there are some things closed to them. Ther resentment at the action of the Board of Finance in banning further publicity from the office of Controller Sherwood L. Rowland until an impartial audit ot the city's financial affairs during 1856 and 1887 has been made is keen. They term it ''muzzling the press. Of course, they don't think that their honest" et- forts to bring the facts" out for the folks to read might be construed as other wise. Oh, no, the king" can do no wrong,
 All of which is just a sample of the high-handed efforts to condemn and at tack a political organization so that another one may be created in it's stead. We have been going through it periodic ally for years now. Had there been no opposition here in Waterbury this effort would have succeeded some years ago. Fortunately, and we say this advlsedly, there was opposition and there were per sons who did not agree that Wrecklng one political organization and setting up another in it's place was the right way to do things.
 Fair-minded citizens will not jump to hastv conclusions in this present political COllIIOFCloy. A1ANy WALL, Wet4o oAAS ASFOAON and findings of real impartial observers and workers They are not blinded, either, by talk of -partisanShip. The fight in Waterbury now is distinctly par tisan. It has been ever since the 1nde- pendent-Democrat party was organized and Republicans realized that in it they had an aide in their ambition to oust the Democrats The aid of many groups and organizations has been sought and em- ployed in this fight. Success is still par tial, not complete.
 No man, least of all one who is polite ally-minded or who has lived by politics alone, minds defeat by fair means. But when he must first be made social out cast, then criminal, and lastly an exile, well, then resentment appears and some thing more than that follows We do not know what the results of this present con- troversy here in Waterbury will be, but if it is to be better government than we have received; if it is to be lower taxes than we have had in many years, lower taxes without sacrificing the services and improvements that have been ours; if it is to be the establishment of merit system in our civic government, it cannot be procured in the methods outlined by the enemies of Mayor Hayes and his ad- 1ninistration. Their course of action can never bring unity or peace to Waterbury.

Help for Country Doctor

The authorities at Tufts College Medi- cal School, in Boston, propose to make the practice of medicine in rural districts. more attractive so that "more and better physicians" will choose such conmuni- ties for their life work. This, it should be understood, is no slur on the country doctor who has long carried more than his load for humanity and carried it very we'll
 The idea is to make available to the country doctor the great facilities for re- search and diagnosis which have centered in the big cities where financial resources were greater. The country doctor has often had to get along without laboratory and other aids just because his com munity was too far away from them. He has been too busy looking after the well fare of his flock, from the old folks to the newly arrived infants, always to keep up with modern medical discoveries.
 Under the Tufts plan, postgraduate instruction will be provided for practicing physicians. Doctors will be enabled to return for one month a year to medical centers while trained doctors substitute for them in their home communities. City hospitals and experts will cooperate con- Stantly with the rural doctors. Here is an example worth following everywhere.

Extending Treatment

The question of socialized or state-con- trolled medicine is one which comes up periodically, and with increasing ire Quency in late years. No one who has studied the problem denies that many 1ow-income families are not receiving proper medical care today because there is no money to pay for it. The question is how to remedy the situation. Advo- cateS of state-controlled medicine point to systems in effect in several European countries and contend that the govern ment should assume the burden of pro- viding proper medical care for all of the people.
 Various methods of specializing medi- cine have been proposed all of which have been opposed by the medical profession generally. The American Medical Asso- ciation has been severely criticized on it's stand, but physicians contend that state control of medical service would depre- ciate the quality of such service, destroy initiative, lnhibit research, and would not be suitable to the American tempera- ment.
 Various plans of sickness insurance, the profession claims, would be unsatiS- factory because of the great burden of administrative cost and probably political Interference. Physicians concede that the cost of medical service has increased tremendously in recent years, principally because it has expanded to point where n ,250 000 persons - doctors, nurses phar- macists, dietitians, technicians, and hos spital employees - are engaged in the task lOf healing the sick.
 1 The ideal system in a democratic coun- stry, they contend, would be one in which scitizenS would be encouraged to save to- ward future medical costs. But because this objective obviously is impossible of Immediate attainment, the American Medical Association has outlined course sof action which it says will solve the prob- lem without recourse to any socialization plan
 E The associations board of trustees has passed a resolution calling on all state and county medical societies to determine the need for additional medical service in each county and to report on the best means of supplying that need to those able to pay doctor bills. Dr. Morris fl4tEA

Benchley's 8 Latest Is Superb Humor

If the New Year looms lugubri- ously, what with wars, threat of wars and the current recession" you can still count on one escape. Robert Benchley points the way out ill his newest burst of madness, After 1903 What?" (Harpers: $250).
 MT. Benchley has been watching history pass his door now for a long time and he has decided at last-well, he has decided just to let it. keep on passing. The re- suit is this entertaining new volume.
 Really a collection of two and three-page brain-t -throbs, graphically charted by Gluyas Williams, the book has an astounding range. MT. Benchley opens with plea for a return to the days when women were barred from poker. He closes with an essay (of all things) On My Face"
 And between these he has man. aged to sandwich a world of other observations: "How to Go Insane" "The Party Spirit" 'The Secret of oCduly anu H14CAl Ao o Driver Intoxicated?"
 One good way to aid in the re- duction of automobile accidents, MT. Benchley suggests, would be the prohibition of liquor sales to intoxi- cated drivers. You can be pretty sure, too, he points out, that when a driver is alone and stark naked, he's drunk. Similarly, if 6 car chugs up to a filling station with no driver at all.
 You can see, of course, that MT. Benchley does very little to clarify the days issues. But there's the punch. You lay down this book at last, thoroughly relaxed. The writ ing is superb humor. And, after all, anyone who can help you laugh of this cockeyed world has cer- tainly got something! -P. G. F.

 Certainly the purposes of the associa- tionS program are laudable Whether it will result in a complete solution of the problem remains to be seen. If nothing else, the campaign should bring fuller understanding of the precise extent of battle,

The Merit Man, publication of the Connecticut Merit System Association, Inc, in it's second issue goes down the roster of our State Senate and finds that the Democratic members have done very we'll by themselves. It reports that 21 to 26 Democratic members are now holding down good state positions The article in question is pickup of one that was run last fall in the Connecticut State Journal, publication of the Repub- lican party of this state Editor William A. Hendrick of the Journal does not deny the fact that his monthly is strictly po- Itical and intended to further the aims of the Republican party. The Merit Man is non-partisan and designed to further the aims of the Connecticut Merit Sys- tenn Association, namely, to take the ''spoils'' out of government. The fore ward to the article on state senators points out that it is only by chance that Democrats are picked on, as it would be Republicans who would be holding the public offices if they controlled the state government. Which is about the sum and substance of it.

Point Of Agreement
Questions Involved in Flood Control Facts Not
 Small Local Ones-Power Rights
Seen as State Rights.
HARTFORD TIMES

The four New England states which have been endeavoring to obtain flood control works in the Merrimac and Connecticut valleys will agree completely with the Fed eral Power Commission that no minor question of mere local issue is involved in their compactS.
 It was largely because the states agree precisely with that statement that the Flood Control Commission of Connecticut recently sent to the Senators and CongreSsmen from this state a reply to objections which have been raised to the compact, particularly by Congressman Kop- plemann. It was largely to pass warning to states outside of New England of the meaning of the at- titude of the Federal government towards the New England compacts, that the commission issued its state ment.
 That is why the commission as- serted that If there is any legal basis for the objection Chairman McNinch's of the Federal Power

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, Jan. 19 - Gilbert Mill Ter has crossed the Atlantic some 330 times, both ways, in order to keep abreast of his new shows in London or on Broadway. He is the most restless man in the show business. He owns two private planes, one hangared at Croydon Airport in England and the other at landing field on Long Island.
 When, on either side of the ocean he wants to be couple of thousand miles off in a hurry, he has only to i lift the phone, call either of his brace pilots, motor out to the field and fly of.
 All this is prelude to casual phone call the ubiquitous MT. Mill Ter made the other morning. He was in the throes of gathering a cast for his next play, which is by Frederic Lonsdale. He al- ready had contracted Ina Claire. And he knew that another young actress he wanted, Miss Nancy Ryan, happened at the moment to be the house guest of certain Maharajah in India.
 The other side of the globe is pebbles toss for MT. M. He picked up his hotel phone, quietly asked the switchboard operator to connect him with the Maharajah's palace in Jaipur and ask for Miss Ryan. Twenty minutes later, the operator reported that she had been informed from Jaipur of Miss Ryan's departure for Cal cutta.
 Get Calucutta," MT. M. com- manded.
 Another brief pause. Calcutta says that Miss Ryan is on Lon- don-bound plane" the switchboard said. "Let it go," the theatrical ty- coon murmured.
 Along with the phone bill the next morning ($33.50 per minute) MT. Miller received a cable from Miss Ryan, dateline Baghdad where her plane had been forced down. Am hurrying to New York;" it said. Hold part for me-"

 This is a minor saga about man, woman and dog, and the human protagonists happen to be we'll known around the Rialto.
 Their marriage plans suddenly had reefed against the rocks, when both parties grew tempera- mental. And the thwarted groom departed to brood and forget at Honolulu. With him he took his frisky scottie who always had been privy to the shattered romance. But as he approached that paradise isle, he ran into complications. The Quarantine Officers insisted upon the detention of his pet. So in anger and despair, he turned about with the jet-black little fellow to New York, where he ran into his would-be bride again.
 Together they brooded on dogs harsh life and a week later they were wed. But 24 hours after the nuptial ceremonies, the dog passed peacefully away, having fulfilled his mission, I guess

New York Citys sales taxes and high way bridge tolls have aroused residents of Westchester County to the point where they are contemplating retaliatory taxes to be imposed for the benefit of New York City motorists. These taxes would take the shape of tolls on Westchester park ways and in their parks. A toll already has been recommended for the Hutchin- son River Parkway. Only residents of Westchester County would have free use of this highway. How about Connecticut use of this parkway. It joins the other end of our Merritt Parkway, not intended for use as toll road. If Westchester County just has grudge against New York City, why not issue passes to Con- necticut motorists, too?

Commission) to the project, then all of the states in the country should be advised of the fact that they have no control over projects on their own small, non navigable streams"
 It has been demonstrated in re- cent months as the flood control compact controversy has been agi- tated that the questions involved are of far more than merely local significance. They may effect every state in the Union and they may conceivably have to do with other matters than water power.
 When the senate begins to debate the flood control compacts, if it ever does, and the issues raised by the Federal Power Commission are offered in objection, it will not take the individual Senators long to see that their own states as well as the four in New England have a decid- ed interest in what the Federal Power Commission is undertaking to assert as national policy.
 The discussion very likely will bring attention to bear upon the flood control act of 1920. The Power Commission asserts that this act gives the Federal government con- trol over the utilization of water ot every navigable stream and all tri- butaries thereto.
 War department engineers raised no such contention when the com pact was in the making or in the approval which gave it afterwards.
 That point unquestionably will have deep attention in Congress if the compactS are ever brought upon the floor.
 Concededly, the likelihood of a battle over that does not increase the hope for any immediate action toward flood control.
 The willingness of the Power Commission to give advance consent to compact without power features is meaningless. Vermont and New Hampshire, and possibly also Mas sachusetts, intend to protect what ever power rights they may now posses as long as they are able There will be no compact with their agreement without such protection Connecticut is not likely to propose that their wishes shall be overriden or to appropriate any money for that purpose.
 The situation does seem, there fore, to be in a complete deadlock New England feels that it can prove it's case, but proving it neither satisfies the Power Commission nor the White House. The best hope that is left, therefore, seems to rest upon the ability of the New England Governor to persuade President Roosevelt to waive his objections as far as this compact project is concerned. That hope is not too good and will not be increased by hot debate over the compacts. The keener the controversy the more the President will be driven to de- fend the position of his Power Board. It might be of advantage to try more persuasion a9d less argu- ment.
