"How about this?" asked the reporter.
 T still can't say a word," was the answer.
 Virginia Purge
 During the recent Virginia pri- mary, a group of New Dealers went to Secretary of State Hull, to ask that he use his influence with Judge Walton Moore, coun- selor of the State Department, to endorse young William Dodd, candidate from Virginia, from the House of Representatives.
 Counselor Moore is a powerful politician in Dood's district, could have swayed many Virginia votes against Old Deal Congressman Howard Smith, whom the Admin istration wanted to purge.
 Secretary Hull expressed sym- pathy for Candidate Dodd and re- sentiment against the anti-Ad- ministration record of Smith, but declined to help persuade Moore.
 'Id like to help you," he said little sadly, but the trouble is that Judge Moore and ! haven't spoken for some time.'
 Finally the Virginia delegation decided to go direct to Judge Moore himself. He was synpa- thetic but not helpful.
 "You see, gentlemen" he ex- plained, "I'd like to assist you but I don't think it would be advisable. Frankly, don't think MT. Dodd can win and it will be my job, after the primary to deny that Smiths victory was an administration defeat"
 NOTE-Despite Smiths victory, Moore has made no such dis claimer.

For more than a generation school administrators have lamented the gradual disappearance of the male pedagogue. The efficiency of the woman teacher was rarely ques- toned, but it was contended that boys in the upper grades and in the high schools needed the in- fuence of instructors of their own sex.
 Now the lament may cease, for the man teacher is coming back. The statistics of the New York city school system, usually barometer of conditions throughout the na- tion's schools, show that within the last few years the proportion of men in the teaching staff has been growing. In 1928 when positions in the business world were relatively easy to get, 13.7 per cent of the positions in the public school sys- tenn were filled by men; 825 per cent were filled by women, and 3.8 per cent were vacant. Last year 16.1 per cent of the positions were oc- cupied by men; 76.7 by women. and 7.2 were vacant. When the statis- tics for 1888 have been computed the proportion of men will be even

 News from Rome that Rev. Mat thew A. Brady has been appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Burling- ton. Vermont, will meet with vide spread approval in the New Haven area. Father Brady's services to his parish, St. Ritas and to the com- munity in Hamden are such that it. it is evident that Burlington's gain will be Hamden's loss.
 Father Brady's reputation as a scholar of the church, his abilities as an administrator and organizer, and his wide interests in both church and civic affairs have been long recognized beyond the confines of his parish. Known favorably in all walks of life, and possessor of an unusually ingratiating personality and mind he will be missed at St. Rita's, but the loss will be tempered by certain agreement that his abil- tiles warrant a wider field.
 Those who have been so for tunate as to work with and know Father Brady here, will laud his {, elevation to a bishopric. Those of his faith particularly will follow his career in his new office and in the Church.

Selected Poem
MIDSUMMER.

David Morton in the New York Sum The earth was never less concerned with us Than now, when summer turns into its noon Of tall and waving grasses cumuous With heavy blossoms that will sway and swoon Above the bosom we longer see, Whose late concern is flower and leaf and Sten In this intensest hour that may not be Divided in its care for us and them. We are the earlier children of this womb That bore us bindly in another season. And must in time vouchsafe little room- But meanwhile knows no tender rule reason For thnknk aught of such strayed fosterlings Her heart being busy, now, with other things.

When the forty days from July IS, St. SWlthin's Day, expire we want someone to tell us exactly how many of these days were rainy. We know there already have been number of them that have been entirely pleasant, but we'd like the fig ures. And then we'll throw right at them the fact that since July Is precipitation has been the heaviest in any other propor- tionate period of the year.

The city got an idea of what might occur in the event of an enemy air raid Monday night when transformer trouble at the c. L. and P. plant plunged Water bury into complete darkness. Only in- stitutions, buildings, etc., with private power plants were able to proceed with business. Fortunately the interruption in service was only about five minutes. But in that period there was plenty to think about, had the breathless pause been occasioned by war.

A Book a Day
A Jurist's Mind Under the Mike"
BY BRUCE CATION

When gentle Justice Benjamin Cardozo of the U. S. supreme court died, many people felt vaguely that there had been great loss to American jurisprudence. But so re- tiring, almost shy, in personal life had Cardozo been, and so largely those of a lawyers lawyer" had been his decisions, that most people would be at loss to say wherein lay the loss.
 "Cardozo and Frontiers of Lega! Thinking" by Beryl Harold Levy (Oxford University Press: $2.50), ex- plains the debt. The book was writ ten before Cardozo's death, and among the opinions written by Cardozo and cited, only one made on the supreme court bench is in- cluded.
 It was on the influential New York court of appeals, Levy seems to feel, that the great contributions of Car dozo to legal thinking were made His approach to the law and legal thinking. his philosophical and ethical concepts. his position as a Judicial evolutionist recognizing the need of adjusting law to today's life, although he was scholarly and considerate of tradition and stabil- ity, are outlined in detail.
 The decisions reprinted do not crackle with the epigrams that made Justice Holmes opinions ex. citing reading even for the layman but hey reflect the clear, cool mino of great lawyer who loved tht law so much that he wanted 1t te deserve respect and veneration.
 The impact of Cardozo's opinion! on the new deal legislation of tn, past i've years is passed over for { more basic and deeper considers. tion of the mind of the lawyer lawyer" And except for those lay. men who realize the vital place o law and Jurisprudence in today life and who thus care about sh, legal mind of q great jurist, Lev! has written largely lawyers book I-W.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, Aug. 17-Palm read CTS. teacup diviners and soothsayers have made a conspicuous place for themselves in Manhattan's restau- rants and night clubs. The other evening we asked Prof. Kamm, one of the more successful practitioners of the art. what people do and do not like to hear about themselves. ] He refused to divulge any infor- nation about the first half of the question.
 But these, he says, are what folk would rather not hear him tell them: that they forget grudge easily, that their heads rule their hearts, that they seldom over-in- dulge, that they always weigh things carefully, and that they have a placid disposition.
 | Moreover, they do not like to hear that they have a terrible temper when reused, that the men have a fondness for the ladies (especially when the little wife is present., that they have an inclination to play lunches, that they have spend- thrift tendencies and that they arc guilty of impotence in the presence of their betters.

TRAFFIC REFORM
PLAN SUBMITTED
Chevy Chase Citizens Group
Asks Closer Supervision
of Young Drivers.

A six-point program to improve
District traffic was adopted unani-
mously last night by the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association, which met in
the E. " Brown School.
Half of the articles aim at closer
supervision of younger drivers, espe-
cially those between the ages Of 18
and % years. Francis C. Heigle, who
introduced the plan, reported this
group is the largest involved in trafhc
mishaps. Special courses in scientific
driving in high schools we're proposed
along with the suggestion that all first
permits be provisional to those under
81 years. Certificates to identify auto
passengers under 16 years would be
required to keep an adequate check
on operators.
Suggests Parking Meters.
The proposal also calls for accurate
and thorough scientific investigation

"BEAUTY BRINGS BUSINESS"

That was the slogan some time ago of
the Key West Garden club when it began
a systematic effort to beautify the city
streets and private yards. The truth ex-
pressed in the slogan has been proved
Our streets and lawns have more trees and
shrubs adjoining them than formerly and
strangers are struck by the exotic beauty of
the city. Every stranger so impressed has
been walking advertisement for Key
West. Travel to the city is increasing and
many of those who come make the trip to
see the tree and plant life here.
At present the WPA is forwarding
two projects further to enhance the beauty
of the city. A group of some so men is
cludes the production of shrubs and flowers
and their planting around the school
houses, the county courthouse, the band
stand at BayvieW Park and in vicinity of
the municipal aquarium and art center.
The result is certain to be a vast improve
ment in the appearance of our public
buildings and parks.
Another project employs 46 men.
They are engaged at present replanting
the trees that have died or been destroyed
along such streets as Whitehead and
Simonton. This project was suspended
some years ago because of a shortage of
men due to the demands in connection
with the constructions off the Overseas
Highway and the municipal sewer and
water system. With additional men now
available it is possible the project may be
expanded to permit additional paintings
Of palms, royal poincianas and mahoganies
along the boulevards and thoroughfares.
These are worthy projects not alone
for the men and women they employ but
for the large benefits that are sure to ac-
crue to every resident of the city. If we
make the city outstandingly beautiful it
will become mecca for many thousands
of visitors. Every visitor is a cash GUS
toner for our goods and services, from
ham sandwich to fishing trip aboard one
of our charter boats Key West is bound
to prosper and without that kind of pros
perity the city will never fully recover
from the economic wounds of the past.
Therefore, it behooves every citizen
to plant his yard with beautiful flowers
and trees ard shrubs, and to maintain and
protect the trees that are planted by the
project workers in front of private proper
ties: The WPA does not provide for main
tenance of the trees and shrubs planted by
the workers The city cannot afford to
have the work done so If hecoynes a natter
of duty to be assumed by private citizens.
