Rud sat ostentatiously weighing
every word of this.
Situation Complex.

"Bodisham and I and the rest of
us. What we don't understand is
what you are after. Why do you
want control of the air? Bluntly-
who is 1t you want to bomb,
Reedly?"
THE situation is complex"
"Obviously. But who is 1t you
want to bomb?"
Il don't want other people to be
bombed. want to have things in
my own hands"
"You puzzle us ALL" said Rud.
what, Reedly, do you really want?"
THE end of the war. Peace. The
restoration # civilization"
"And-yourself, Reedly?"
Il shall be content to have done
my duty"
you ought to be. You will be
the last world marshall and the
lord of peace. You will have done
crowning service to mankind, for
which all the world will thank
you. Your statues will be every
where and you'll have more avenues,
squares, railroad stations than you'll
know what to do with. Isn't that
enough?"
But" said Reedly, and stopped.
He was not nimble to debate.
"Reedly, what exactly do you
want?" asked Rud, very white and
resolute. why did you come here?
What have you got on your mind?
What have you got up your sleeve?"
Reedly sat squarely at the end
of the table with that big, hairy
hand of his half -clenched. He
glanched at his sleeve as though
he thought something might be
betraying him there. This is all
very we'll. I'm not a talker. I'm
plain soldier and I want to win
this war for the democratic cause,
Mixing the military and civil COM
mands has never been a success,
and 1t will not be now"
Impulse Controlled.
I'VE live in exceptional times"
said Rud.
And that's my answer?" said
the world marshall.
Yes"
There was a pause. Everyone
felt that long latent issue in the
revolution had suddenly come into
his head as a bright, clear fact,
that in some manner, publicly or
privately, in the interests of the
newborn world republic, within
year at longest it would be necessary
to have Reedly shot. -.
He looked down the table at the
sulky face of the great soldier.
An impulse from his cruder, earlier
days, to have the world marshall
arrested and shot forthwith, had to
be controlled. He glanced at the
placid face of Bodisham. mo hys-

situation had been inevitable from
the beginning.
Until the very end of the war
Of the ideologies 1t had been in
doubt whether the Old World, so
far as it was exbodied in the allied
governments had captured and
was making use of the group and its
world revolution or whether the
world revolution had taken control
of them. In the end where would
mastery lie? No brain in the world
had been more acutely aware of this
indecisiveness than Rud's. Day by
day, long before the war was over,
that ceaseless conflict had gone on,
now point won, now a point lost,
now phase of grip and assurance,
now phase when everything
seemed slipping away from him.

Parrish also urged owners to

wind and snow by covering the
cracks in the ends and sides of
the laying house with strips of
wood or heavy paper. "Then toe"
he said, "a six-inch dry litter on

curtains should be held out about
two inches from the wire front
by the track so that they will not
interfere with the ventilation.

Today's civilization-on-wheels has
revolutionized the Twentieth century

children played with paint sets and

want wheel goods. The desire to
have an automobile like dads is SO
great that toy auto manufacturers
must change their designs as soon
as new models appear. Velocipedes
must be streamlined, scooters must
have pneumatic tires, and doll car
riages must be of the latest baby
buggy designs.

City Court Appointments ts

Incoming and outgoing city court attaches suffer as result of last-minute appointments, such as were followed out in the local case. It was too bad that the governor had to withhold his decision in the matter until shortly before the dead line. Nevertheless, it is encouraging to see the bipartisan nature of the court continued since it has been recognized, apparently, that in Connecticut politics must play some part in determining the makeup of our minor courts.
 The selection of Attorney John L. Gaffney as the Democratic member of the court will be generally pleasing to the public of the city, as we'll as to local bar members. It wouldn't be natural, of course, that friends of retiring Judge Ed ward MaScolo should accept his removal from the bench in matter of fact man. ner. Still they can feel entire satisfac- tion with the record that Judge Mascolo established for himself while on the bench. One good judge makes way for a new one whom everyone knows will be equally as competent.
 Continuing Judge T. E. Conway, an interim appointee of former Governor Wilbur L. Cross, indicates quite clearly that in his short period on the bench he has acquitted himself favorably. There will be little fault found with his reten- tion. The remainder of the court per- sonnel reflects creditably on the new judges They selected both wisely and tolerantly. Reduction of the prosecutor staff to two members will please the city.
 To retiring court officials The Demo- crat extends congratulations on work we'll and faithfully done; to the new members best wishes for successful ad- ministration.

The Contrast Again

The complete contrast between the Flu ropean way and the American way is evil dent once again in the news from Slovakia that the government has abolished CO., education in the high schools and is urging that the girls marry instead of taking up careers. University enrolment by women is being severely discouraged, and only comparatively few girl grade school graduates will be enabled to take up nursing and social service or similar allied activities.
 This is indeed turning the clock back. We in America believe that woman should be educated, so that as a free human being she may have choice of the kind of life she wishes to lead. We believe that even if she marries, she is all the better wife and mother for high school or even a university education. And we believe that in any case she is a human being entitled to get the best she can from life in the way that suits her, entitled to give what she may have to give to the common life.
 But Slovakia is now under German "protection. That means that the Ger man idea dominates there. Just as Ger rnany exported racial consciousness to Italy, and anti-Semitism to Czecho-Slo- vakia, so it now exports to Slovakia it's medieval ideas on the position of women.
 At about the time this news came out, Mrs. Paul Henry, national organizer of Pro America, Republican Women's organ ization, was giving an interview. And what she said, without any attempt to comment on the Slovakian situation,
 makes, nevertheless, a perfect comment on it from the American point of view.
 "Women's place is no longer exclusively in the home," she said "The only way woman can protect her home is by build ing firm foundation outside of it in civic, community, and church affairs"
 And there you have it. These homes, to which Slovakian women are supposed to devote themselves so early and so exclusively, are subject to the kind of world in which they have their being. It is idle for such women to build such homes, only to see them torn asunder by forces in which they have had no voice, no influence, forces of which they have not even any knowledge. Often the world is perpleXed to know just which path to choose in it's effort to stumble forward on paths of progress. There is just one path which seems to offer no hope at all. That is the path backward to the darkness and unenlightenment up which humanity has for so many centuries been painfully crawling.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-07-01
One More Problem

Another problem, which in time may be very serious one, is being raised in the City of Waterbury, It is the question of pensions, not just the ones for retired officials and city workers, but the ones that would be paid to widows of deceased employees. Many claims are being pre- sented today in view of the law put through by Senator George T. Culhane. It may necessitate some fast stepping by our financial advisers in order to find funds to make up what would be paid out in pensions for just this year alone.
 And even if the city does get around the situation nicely and without resort ing to extraordinary means to finance such pensions it is going to mean in the future that larger amounts must be either set aside annually or set up each year in the budget to take care of the necessary payments. It is possible that in time such payments might amount to con- siderable more than mill of the current tax rate. All of which makes it impera- tive that some means be taken to provide against the eXigencies of ever-mounting pension payments.

We Have Bingo Now

Governor Raymond E. Baldwin signed the bingo bill this week and from now on we may witness a steady procession of interested groups seeking to secure the right to sponsor this form of gamb- ling entertainment. It is gambling, of
 course, but in mild form. Under the law now bingo games will be permitted in the name of charity under certain aus pices. But before this is permitted cer- tain rules of local option must be con- piled with.
 No one can deny that bingo is the result of pressure put on both the Legis- lature and the governor by interested groups. It's just one more instance of what can be done by proper organization and by presenting an argument in logical manner. We don't think that the Legislature would have passed bingo
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-07-01

bill if it hadn't believed that there were quite few people, vote-casters, who actu- ally were so concerned about the fate of the bingo bill that they would have
 remembered it had it failed of passage.
 Then, too, we had legislators who were elected on bingo platform, one Bridge port member of the Senate having suc- cessfully campaigned last fall on the promise that he'd fight for bingo law. The outlook now for such campaigners is certainly very promising. As to the gambling aspects of bingo, there need be no concern to those people of Connecti- cut who are so violently opposed to gambling. If the law is lived up to, bingo will be enjoyed only by those who like this way of winning. It is bound round with constructing tape by the present law.

GASOLINE TAX RATES (New York Sun)

Figures compiled from States sources by the Bureau of Public Roads show that - 1888 forty-eight states and the District of Columbia collected $766 100000 from the gaso- line tax. This was the net amount received by the States and the Dis trict. The weighted average tax in 1888 was 3.96 cents gallon testi- mony to the popularity-among the taxing authorities - of the four cents-a-gallon tax. Eighteen of the States impose tax at this rate, ten at the rate of five cents gallon and ten at the rate of three cents a gal- lon. These rates account for thirty eight of the States. The remaining states are divided into five that levy six cents 8 gallon, three that levy seven cents gallon, one that levies six and one-half cents gallon and one-Missouri-that imposes the old fashioned rate of two cents gallon. The District of Columbia rate is the same as Missouris.
 New York taxpayers have the con- solation of knowing that their tax is made Yn. half of the old-fash-
