of legislative budgeting. This is an ideal rather than practicable pro- posal; the assembly is a power unto itself and cannot be controlled by any schedule. And yet rows about horse-racing, about gambling, about judgeship and other kinds of deals do appreciably dilute the delibera- ton which goes into our statutes. To spend three months wrangling about politics and jockeying for poe sition and then to discharge the business of the session in a few weeks of turbulent helter-skelter simply Is not good business. We must learn that.

 WHEN MEN
 WERE MEN
 Harry Carey was in town the other day. There was the cine- matic idol of this correspondents knee-pants days. An outdoor man who could face a double -barrelled shotgun nozzle or a precarious cliffs edge without so much as batting an eyelash.
 Raymond Massey is the most coy bridegroom to find himself on the front pages in a long time. It's no secret that he was recently married. Yet 1t requires the most persistent sort of reporter to per- suade him to admit 1t. Probably the dignity of playing Abe Lin- coin has borne down earnestly upon him.
 Manhattans latest diversion Is 1uxuriously maritime. A number of speedboats now set out from here to the Fair Grounds and New Workers have discovered that 1t is 8 thrilling hours trip by wa- ter.
 Who said Coney Island would suffer from monetary malnutri- tion when the Fair opened? The visitors are just as eager to see the masses playground as they are to see MT. Whalens' rich fan- tasy on Flushing Meadows.

 If you want to spy on Katharine Cornell on any afternoons other than matinee days, try to peep over her Beekman Place garden where the lady pays devoted ate ton to the hyacinths and pee tunias. Nowadays there aren't many real-life newspapermen such as Hecht 8s McArthur depicted in "The Front Page.
 For all his playboy antics, Gene Fowler is one of the hardest working of the writing craft. And he needs tolitude for his literary efforts. The year he journeyed to the Fiji Islands to complete a book = and completed 1t. Now he has settled down in a hermitage on Fire Island to write another one.
 Dick Watts is the dramatic critic with the most unsuitable curiosity about the Far East and the most tireless yen for travelling preferably by air. As is his annual wont, he has taken off again, via Clipper for China to see what's going on.

LEGISLATIVE EDUCATING
(New Haven Journal Courier)

(NeW Haven Journai-Courierl
 Connecticut people thinking over the lessons taught by the last leg islative session must agree again that they are grave. The assembly meets in January: 1t adjourns in June. Time was when the sessions were unlimited: that simply meant that an unco- scionable amount of time was taken in the irrelevances which now consume the first two or three months of the limited ses- sions. Perhaps if irrelevances are unacceptable. 1t is good thus to con- fine them. But are they. realyy. inc cscapable? Is it impossible t0 work O..

In the meantime nearby forests such as the Catskills, the Adirondacks and New England mountain ranges are tinder- dry, and there is danger of forest fires.

Mars, the bright body that rises late in the southeast, is getting closer and closer, and will be closest on July 27. It seems that this planet gets within 35,000,000 miles of us every fifteen years. If the proxim- ity had occurred last summer we might have blamed Mars for the hurricane; coming this summer we might as well blame the bright star for the current drought.

EARLY BUT COMFORTING
(Boston Post)


 If you are feeling a bit too warm these days, here is refreshing thought. Right at the moment, down in the woodlands of Washing ton county, in Maine, there are men tramping dusty roads and rough paths, picking out patches of Christ mas trees. They are choosing the best trees that will stand in the liv- ing rooms, bright with lights and ornaments, in thousands of Ameri- can homes on Dec. 25. Possibly they seem a bit premature, but 1t is comforting to know that the tree vendors are not worried about wars and any internal disturbance mar ring the happiness of the golden day which falls 165 days from now.
