 4 important Adriatic port, was the burning question of Europe, threatening to cause further war between Yugoslavia and Italy. It >fiared as an issue for five years, and at last became Italian soil, but only after dramatic march of annexation" such as parallels present affairs in the old world.
 The first Italian claim to Plume was made in 1918, and a year later Italy officially pressed it on the ground of "self-determination" such as Hitler used in the Austri- ain and Czechoslovakian crises. Italy asserted Italians were in the majority over the Slavs in the suburb of Susak. Meanwhile, Croat troops and Italians jointly occupied the area, pending the settlement of the claims by the peace commission.
 But Italy ultimately obtained Plume largely because Gabrielle D'Annunzio. dashing Italian poet and adventurer. boldly marched into the little port with body of men on Sept. l2, 1919. and set up a government. D'Annunzio drew up constitution for his miniature state and obtained the sympathy. if not the immediate "official' ap- proval. of Italy.
 This came. though cautiously, after Mussolini marched into Rome in 1922. On Jan. 27. 1924, Mus solini signed with the Yugoslavs

BRICKBATS DISPLACE
RICE AT A WEDDING

Unique among all records of we'd
ding ceremonies was the one that
was staged at Overlea when a man,
relative of the groom, mistook brick
bats for rice and began hurting them
at the wedding party. Fullerton po-
lice were called in time, however, and
escorted the wedding party from the
house at Overlea, the residence of the
bride, to the church, where the mar
riage took place.
The principals on the occasions
were the bride, Margaret Gertrude
Kimpel, 10, the bridegroom, Charles
A. Morgan, %; and the brick throw
ing antagonist, whose name was not
released. The incident occurred in
front of the brides home at 600 Old
Home road, just as the party was
about to start for the church. It was
said that the man was giving vent to
his anger against his marrying rela-
tive who had not told him of his COM
ing adventure on the sea of matri-
mony.
Those hit by the rocks, and the
dirt, yes there was a bit of dirt slung
around also, were the bridegroom and
a small boy who was standing near
by, witness said. A brick also hit
the windshield of Mrs. Mary A. KIM
pei, mother of the bride. It was then

Propaganda, the Right Kind

Those who believe in democracy, who believe it has worked in the United States and that it could be made to work in the South American countries, will be pleased by the news that Diario de Noticias, one of the leading newspapers of Rio de Janeiro, will publish 24 special editions devoted to United States affairs, the first to appear July 4. The newspaper wants to create closer trade and cultural relations be- tween Brazil and the U. S., to encourage democratic thought, to offset Fascist in fluence in Brazil. That is all very fine and representatives of Diario de Noticias now in the U. s. working on the series are receiving just about all the help they ask - from both official and unofficial quarters.
 The special editions are type of prop aganda the right type according to the American way of thinking. Whats more, since they originate in Brazil, the editions will be more effective than any sort of propaganda that would come from the U. S.. That fact is worth considering as the government ponders the advisibility of building radio stations to broadcast pro-U. s. and anti-Fascist programs to South America.

Queer theology

France is strange country Even when it seems to be falling in with neigh borhood customs, there's a difference. They have sort of dictator there, but he is only signed up for three months-not for thousand years like Hitler. At the end of that time he will have to give an accounting of his stewardship as an American President does after four years
 And Premier Daladier acts very queerly He doesn't seem to have clapped any of his political opponents into jail. There have been, so far, no partisan executions or impromptu "blood burgess. More remarkable still, there is no declaration of a new religion and no persecution of an old one. There doesn't seem to be anything said about religion. Nor about race, either Those queer Frenchmen, in office and out of office, seem to think that mans man, whatever his race, and one citizen has as much right as another to vote or hold job or do business or use the streets.
 Why, the French really seem to believe still in the right of man." superstition which may have been acceptable enough in the century before last, but is merely theological spinach in really modern nation. We'll, we may all know more about these things dozen years from now. Meanwhile we're old-fashioned enough to trail along with France.

Calendar Changes

In the history of mankind there have been many calendars by which time was reckoned in days, weeks, months, and years It wasn't, however, until the time of Pope Gregory that the foremost ad- vance in calendar computation was arrived at. The Gregorian calendar as we know it and use it today was the most perfect one that man had ever devised. It accounted for deviations of the centuries prior and took into con- sideration those to come. Man had ap- preached perfection in the calendar, as perfection was viewed in those days.
 That the Gregorian calendar was nearly perfect is best seen in the fact that it has survived intact down to the present time. It has gone through the highly progress sive days of the 18th and 18th centuries. But now it seems to have reached it's limit. The World Calendar Association is a reform organization in that it proposes to make certain changes in the calendar. It will not, however, make changes that will essentially disrupt the Gregorian calendar
 It seeks rather to create uniformity in UuI CdlCLuoA. AC PAOPNoCo Co Aiie'AN ooo tionary the feast-dayS and the holidays which are almost universally observed. Quarters and halves of the years would be the same This change is possible, too, without any great upheaval in the world. It would take place so easily and natur- ally that many of us, not accustomed to quick glances at the calendar hundreds of times daily, wouldn't even know any thing had happened.
 Such change as this is far to be pre- ferred to some of the outlandish schemes that have been advanced in recent years and which antagonized more people to- wards a calendar reform than enlisted sympathy We don't doubt but what the World Calendar Association will find the last part of it's drive the most difficult, but if 1t moves as quietly and efficiently through this period as it always has, ulti- mate success is assured.

We commented last week on the dis cussion down in West Haven over a pro- posed dog-racing track. There was sup posed to be zoning board hearing on the question some time this week, postponed from last week. But we read since then that town official said there was no need for the meeting as no such track would be allowed in the town limits. For that matter he also stated that no such track could legally be built or operated nor could horse racing be indulged in in thls state. That's not true. Either horse or dog racing can be legally conducted in Connecticut It's betting on the races which is illegal, but not the actual run ming of the race itself.

One Bets As Good As Another

We don't know what Lloyd's is quoting on the chances of war right now in Eu- rope, but we'll wager the odds are probably about as low as they were earlier in the year when Germany was preparing its march on the Danube. The situation is just about the same with the exception that the characters are different and the behind-the-scenes manipulators are diff ferent. When Germany "Nazified" Aus tria, there was resentment, alarm, anger, and many other feelings expressed by nations the world over But there was no general taking to arms in Austira's de- fenSe.
 But with little Czecho-Slovakia threat ened with invasion, the situation is changed. There are more interests con- cerned with a German invasion here. And the nation itself is not as resigned to German invasion as was what was left of the once imperial nation of Austria. In the Czechs the Germans will find a nation of aggressive, independent, liberty loving people. They are conscious of their limitations, but they are also conscious of few other facts such as the one that good bluff can't beat high cards when they are laid down.
 We doubt very much if Germany wants a European war. We wonder if any Euro pean country wants war. But if it has to be war, certainly the role of the smaller nations is not to be that of "buffer" for the bigger and more powerful ones. Herr Hitler's plans are ambitious ones, but there may be an adversary here and there who will not be afraid to say mo" to his lusty demand for "Heil." If there are we feel pretty sure most of the "Heils!" will be reserved for German soil.

According to reliable sources the Mer- ritt Parkway Commission will have the right to set speed limits on the road when it is opened. The commission was recently subjected to some criticism when the grand jury which investigated land sales in connection with it's construction rec commended abolishing the commission en- tirely. However before that can be done by legislative act, which created it, the commission undoubtedly will have some thing to say about what goes on along this new turnpike. And speed limits may be included. Right now Connecticut law allows 5O-mile per hour limit, during the daytime. If we're not mistaken it's lower at night. Anyway what we want to get at is this: If 50-mile limit is imposed, erect good big signs near 4he New York state line, for once across there is a low CT limit on the Hutchinson River Park way.
