Joesfing Brings Scientific
DoodIebug 10 Locate
Gold Deposits

Back in Alaska with Phi. d. de-
gree and new scientific "doodlebug"
with which he is starting out into
the hills next week to find gold,
Henry Joesting, Associate Engineer
of the Department of Mines, ar
rived in Juneau yesterday from the
East.
Joesting has been attending John
Hopkins University, where he OBJ
tanned the Phi. ID. in geology.
His doodlebug is a Geoscope, go
pounds of magnetic and electrical
machinery bristling with dials and
knobs, which shows up disconforma-
tions as faults in lode country and
the depth to bedrock in placer coun-
try.
The Geoscope, which operates on
a principle of direct current re-
sistivity, was developed by DIR. F. w.
Lee, formerly with the U. S. Bureau
of Mines and now with the Geo
logical Survey.
The one built especially for joe
sting is the first to be used In the
Territory. Joesting is going into the
Interior shortly to try it out.

F0RBDDED LOVE IS
BASIS FOR new FILM
AT COLISEUM THEATRE

A dramatic story of ex-convlcs,
out on parole and forbidden to mar
ry, is the powerful theme of the new
Sylvia Sidney George Raft film.
"You and Me-" that premiers to-
night at the Coliseum Theatre.
Last seen together several years
ago in Paramounts Pick Up" the
two stars are reunited in much the
same type of film as their original
venture. 1t is romance of the city
streets, with Miss Sydney as de-
partment store girl who hungers for
the right kind of love, and Raft as
q casual drifter who awakens to his
real self in the pleading arms of the
girl who loves him.
The story deals with the struggles
of Miss Sidney and Raft to keep an
ideally happy marriage together
despite their extreme poverty, and
Miss Sidney's secret knowledge that
she is an ex-convict, out on parole,
and forbidden connubial rights.
When the time comes that Miss
Sidney cannot keep her past secret
any longer. she confesses all to Raft.
Bitterly disillusioned, he leaves her
despite all her pleadings to the con-
trary, and joins the old gang to re-
new his halted career in crime. Per-
suading several of his ex-convict
friends to join him, he plans big
robbery. However, Miss Sidney is
tipped off, and knowing that this
means the end of everything for her
husband, reveals her knowledge of
the coming crime to Harry Carey,
whose department store is to be
burglarized.
The gang is caught red-handed
while robbing the store, but Carey,
a philanthropist at heart, and in
gratitude to Miss Sidney's honesty
grants her plea to let them go free.
Raft denounces his wife bitterly, and
she disappears.

NEW YORK, June 21-Eddie Can
tor, who has been making stage,
screen and radio love to glamorous
ladies since the glorious Ziegfeld
days, is celebrating the twenty
fifth anniversary Of his marriage to
Ida.
But that's no story" says the
little comedian who, by song and
quip, has made his five daughters
and his wife almost as famous as
himself.
Now, if Ida and 1 didn't stay
married, that would be news. That
will never happen-and you can
quote me and Ida, too.

Working with showgirls," he con-
tinues, SIS a lot like working in a

Much Good Service

The decision of Commissioner Frederic c. WalcOtt of Norfolk not to accept arl- other appointment as head of the State Welfare Department ends career in state and national service that is proba- bly, unparalleled in this state. In the brief space of probably fifteen years Con- missioner Walcott has managed to do about everything that man might do in the way of public service. He feels now that he is near the retirement age and hi, place might better be filled by some one else That is certainly a fine way to look at the situation.
 In the Legislature MT. Walcott dis tinguiShed himself after a successful career in finance and banking. As State Senator he was invaluable. AS U. s. Sen ator he again proved his worth. In both finance and wild life conservation he was held as an authority. Four years ago when Senator Francis T. Maloney of Meriden had replaced him in Washing ton i. was possible for MT. Walcott to devote much more time to Wildlife con- Servation. But when Governor Wilbur l.. Cross chose him to head the new de- partment of Public Welfare he accepted.
 The position was a difficult one; 1t remains today even more so what with the growing need of social welfare throughout the state in increasing VOL ume. It was tribute to Commissioner Walcott that he was asked to remain in office. It is not to his discredit that he relinquishes his present duties and re- tires to private life. We are perhaps in debted that he gave so willingly and literally of his time and talents for the past ten or fifteen years.

A Thought for Today
Don't Let It Happen

Perhaps never in a thousand years would such disaster occur in the county iails of Connecticut as happened last week in Worcester, Mass. Three inmates were burned fatally in blaze which is reported to have started in padded cell, a prisoner with matches bei-S declared responsible. That's not the point to be brought home. The point lies in the known fact that the Worcester jail is one of the oldest of it's type in the nation. Many features in it prove that so far as our old penal institutions are concerned we have not progressed beyond the 18th century.
 Everyone should know by this time that the county jail system in the United States is antiquated. It is, of course, un- fortunate that the many fine institutions of this nature, several of which we have in this state and certainly the New Haven county jail is outstanding, must be con- cealed behind the fact that the system is at fault. The Worcester jail deaths could have been avoided in a more modern 1rl- Stitution an official declared immediately after it.
 We don't look for a solution of the county jail problem at this session of the Legislature, but we do hope that it won't Ee some such catastrophe like that which occurred in Worcester or even the Phila- delphia scandal that will bring about the necessary changes in Connecticut. We are moving out of the orbit of county jails just as we are moving away from all forms Of county government. It no longer plays an important part or forms link between community and state. We must accommo- late ourselves to future which includes ,he modern version of penology.

Subsidies Or Soybeans?

American farmers, with all their faults,
 seem too competent. And their soil, inn
 poverished as it may be, seems too good.
 Such a conclusion might be drawn from the repeated overproduction of staple crops, which clogs the markets and drives prices ridiculously low. But there may be remedies other than federal crop control, export subsidies and suchlike artificial devices. Distressed farmers nigh turn to new and less competitive crops. Soy beans, for instance. They are doing so, to be sure-our production of this mary elouS legume rose from 8,000000 bushels in 1928 to 57,5O0,000 bushels last year. But there is potential market, experts say, for many times that amount. If farm subsidies are to be paid at all, argues business writer, it would be more reasona- ble to subSidize the soybean than to pay farmers for producing or not producing other things. For the soybean has these notable advantages: Tt is not only rotation crop but a cash crop as we'll, just what the cotton planter is looking for. It grows in acid soil where clover and alfal- ia won't. It is soil restorative. It is food for man and beast, and is raw material for the paints and automobile steering wheels, and every year it adapts itself to a multitude of new uses.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-25
Quiet City

New York and other cities trying to get rid of unnecessary noise should study Guatemala City A recent visitor there re- ports that the people are amazingly calm and courteous, to each other as well as to visitors. ''They even work quietly" she adds. "In the heart of the city an enor- nous palace is being constructed for President Ubico, but you would never know it if you listened for riveting and hammering sounds. They must be weav- ing it together"
 This peaceful quality is found in traf-. fife, too. There is "no wild honking of horns and crazy driving" Drivers all seem to obey traffic regulations as a mat ter of course. There isn't even any speed ing on highways outside of the city. As you drive from the city policeman notes the license number of your car and tele- phones it ahead to the next station along the road. Then, if you get there sooner than you should, you pay fine no mat ter how slowly you are going when you arrive. It's an unbeatable system, says the traveller, for even taxi drivers watch the time as well as the speed. If they for get briefly and step on the accelerator they promptly drop back to a speed slow enough to make up the right average.
 That would hardly do on our fine inter- city highways, unless the permitted speed was reasonably high. Yet it's interesting to know of land where the gas engine and leisure quiet exist simultaneously and harmoniously.
