UNCLE RAYS CORNER

From time to time, great masses
OF soldiers from Asia have pushed
their way westward toward Europe.
These soldiers most often have been
Mongols. One of their famous
leaders In the Middle Ages was
Genghis Khan. The huge "em-
pires" Of the Mongols did not last
long, but their conquests were inn
portant in one way or another.
Seven centuries ago, the so-called
Ottoman Turks were driven from
their homeland in Central Asia.
Fleeing before the Mongols, they en-
tered Asia Minor and settled there.
The Ottoman Turks we're named
n honor of one of their early lead
ers, man known as Osman or
Qthman. He might be called "the
Father of Turkey" but several other
leaders also helped build up Turkish
power.
The Ottoman Turks were relatives
Of the Seljuk Turks, who had moved
westward in the earlier days. and
had won Persia, Palestine and parts
Of Asia Minor. After the Ottomans
came, they took away the power of
the Seljuks, and became the rulers
Of the Turkish empire.
The empire kept growing and
growing, The Ottoman Turks con-
quered Syria and Egypt. They also
obtained sections of Northwestern
Africa. For time their warships
were the strongest on the Mediter-
ransan Sea.

Vienna. They had won the coun-
tries which now are known as Bull
garia, Greece. Rumania, Yugoslavia,
Albania and Hungary!
Austria might have fallen into
their hands If an army led by Pole
had not come to the rescue of
Vienna. That was the end of the
westward march of the Turks in
Europe.
In later years, there were wars for
freedom in the Balkans, and war
fare with Russia. Piece after piece
of the Turkish empire was taken
away. At the outbreak of the World
War, Turkey had only about as
much land in Europe as it has today,
which isn't a great deal.
The old Turkish empire was ruled
by sultans, with no power in the
hands of the plain people. In 1908,
however, Turkish Parliament was
opened, and the people obtained a
share of the power to make their
country's laws.

 Ave. Resident

Edwin M. Frenzel, seaman first class, U. s. Navy, son of MT. and Mrs. Frederick Frenzel of 45 Idyl- wood avenue, recently received an honorable discharge from the naval service by reason of expiration of enlistment. He was stationed on the U.

 MT. Frenzel enlisted in the navy after graduating from Wilby high school in 1885, served his appren- ticeship at the naval training sta- tion in Newport, R. l., and then was transferred to the U. s. Salt Lake City for duty.
 He made many trips to foreign lands which included two cruises to Alaska and the Hawaiian islands, down the west coast of South Amer ica, touching at various ports, through the Panama canal, to the West Indies, Cuba, Porto Rico, Costa Rico and the Virgin islands.

$42,578 APPLIED
 CASH DEFICIT
Receipts Turned Over to Surplus Resource Sink
 ing Fund Yesterday

Waterbury,s 1888 cash deficit, largely accounted for by payment of maturing bonds and interest which otherwise would have been this years obligation, was $42,57811 nearer cancellation after Treasurer Harley w. Tripp reported receipts of that amount to the surplus resource sinking fund yesterday at the board of finance meeting. The money im- mediately was turned over to the general fund to apply against the deficit.
 The sum, representing February back tax collections in the main, is considerably above the average ex- pected to accrue to the sinking fund monthly. The January collections likewise were extremely favorable, amounting to about $68O00. Thus, more than $110,000 of the $400,000 revenue called for in the budget out line of sinking fund receipts, has been paid in during only two months of this year.

ker, and public interest in the pro- poscal has been whetted by propa- ganda inspired by the government itself. Whether it is proper func- tion of the government to enter the health insurance field is a debat- able subject, he asserted.
 He said in part:
 Sickness insurance-or health in surance as it is more sweetly called lis anathema to every physician and think everyone is entitled to know why we reach the conclusion that it would be unwise to introduce this form of medical care into the United States. In the first place, it is not insurance at all but a method for supplying the services of phy- sicians who are paid by a govern ment controlled bureau supported by payroll contributions and contribu- tions by employees. Because of the method for collecting tax in coun- tries where it is in operation, only the workman making the contribu- tion and not his family are cared for. Farmers and other self em- ployers are not within the scope. Because of the complications of administration and the political pos abilities, it has invariably put a huge bureaucratic system between the physicia hand the wage earner.
 "It is hoped that a similar plan may be developed for underwriting some of the expense of medical care itself. Medical organizations every where are giving some thought to the subject for 1t seems safer to have such plans organized and ad- ministered by physicians rather than by lay persons who do not have quite so fine an understanding of the factors involved.
 Experiments along these lines are being tried in many places, but only the mere foundation has been laid. There are legal obstacles to such plans in many states. Connecticut is one of them. The State Medical society has bill before the present general assembly which, if passed, will enable the county and state mdical organizations to proceed with the development of program for the people of thsi state. At the start it seems wise to contemplate a plan that would cover only serious illness that requires hospitalization. The reasons for this limitation are the it is this kind of medical service that is the most expensive and quickly builds up cost that is difficult to meet. It is the medical calamity. In addition to this, hospitalized illness is definitely circumscribed. It begins and ends at a certain time. This is not so clearly true of home or office carfe and the necessary cost of the latter cannot be so accurately de- termined.
 Such insurance purchased in ad- dition to the already available hos pital service coverage would go a long way toward meeting the major expenditures for medical care of self supporting people. That is would not answer the whole problem is obvious but it would divide the load of catastrophe"

 From that day the star of young Gajda burned ever brighter. A grateful little country, now a re- public, Czecho-Slavakia sent him to the French military school al St. Cyr. He won quick promotion and up on return to Prague was made chief of staff.
 The war however, had done strange things to the thinking oi General Gajda and so he was not lon in office as chief of staff when other ambitions fired him.

 Well, why not make himself boss of the new state. sweep aside all differences? After all, de- mocracies were failing on every hand. Would 1t not be matter of time until even the new Czech state would fail also?
 THEN
 AND NOW
 So reasoned the ambitious and fascist minded Gajda as early as 1925 and 1926. Accordingly one day Czech Fascist party was born and Gajda was on his way to realize his ambition. But not far
 For the Czech government was quick to act back in 1927 and scarcely before he knew what il was all about General Gajda was stripped of his uniform, removed from the army and ordered into retirement. Democracy was tri. umphant.
 Practically all of Czecho Slo- vakia applauded that action while the sullen Gapda went down tc disgrace. The whole of Europe ap- plauded it as well as a Tasting victory against fascism.
 Europe, of course, could not foresee the sweep of Hitler's am- bitions.

THE WEARING OF THE GREEN
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

There's a jewel in the sea, Lovely, green hills and strand, Today it's got an old-new name, But we call 1t Ireland. It's just little island.
 From Tipperary to Kildare, A wee country as compared to others, Quite beyond compare. There you see the hawthorn hedges, The holly and rhododendron tree, Bog peat piled aside the road And wild waves at Tralee. On St. Patrick's day in the morning, Irish sons recall the lakes, The hills, the wales and the bohreens And the Irish potato cakes. On this day they celebrate, While thoughts travel to Dingle Bay, And very proudly, it was ever so, They wear the green today. It's just an Irish custom, But not just for the fair colleen, For everybody joins today In the wearing of the green.
